Chapter 636
The sixteenth viewing of the film is over. Regarding the content exposed this time, the countries in the ninja world generally focus on the performance of Uchiha Madara's strength, the discussion of the Ten Tails and the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan. Only a small number of people care about Obito's mental journey of becoming a ninja.
And Kakashi is obviously one of these small groups of people.
Although he has been inspired by Naruto's words and deeds on the sky screen and has recovered from his decline, Tsunade temporarily rejected his request to go out and find Obito for the sake of safety.
However, other countries do not have such concerns. Whether it is out of the idea of resolving the crisis in the ninja world or coveting the intelligence capabilities that Obito has, the major countries obviously have no reason to let Obito act freely and not take any restrictive measures against him.
Of course, they also know that without the ability to deal with the hollow, no matter how many people come, they can't have any impact on the target. Therefore, the ninjas who have received this task are basically mainly investigating Obito's location. After mastering his whereabouts, the countries can cooperate in the next step.
Jiraiya, who has always been paying attention to the situation in the ninja world, naturally noticed the actions of various countries. However, this trip was Naruto's training trip after all, so Jiraiya did not intervene too much, but only arranged some intelligence resources to pay attention to the development in this area.
Against this background, the ninja world once again spent two months in a strange calm, which also means that the time agreed by Jiraiya and Orochimaru a year ago is coming.
In order to keep the appointment with Orochimaru, Jiraiya took Naruto back to the River Country again, but when he arrived here, he found that the snake cave here had been idle for a while. Obviously, Orochimaru didn't know where he moved to.
"Why is there no one..." Naruto followed Jiraiya out of the snake cave, his face was puzzled at first, then he showed a nervous expression, and shouted: "Could it be that Orochimaru did something bad to Sasuke and then ran away!"
"Calm down, don't be so noisy when it comes to Sasuke." Jiraiya flipped through the notebook in his hand and explained: "This is just his routine transfer. Otherwise, how do you think Orochimaru has been active in the ninja world for decades and has been alive and well without being killed? It's just this transfer and hiding skill."
"If he is so powerful, what should we do next? How do we know where Orochimaru is hiding?" Naruto put his hands on the back of his head and asked boredly.
"Hehe, don't underestimate my intelligence network. Let's go to a nearby town first. Give me a few days, and I can find the location of that guy right away."
. ... Three days later, Jiraiya, who had received accurate information, was about to take Naruto to the Land of Grass, but happened to run into the 17th screening, so the two stayed in the town for another day and watched the new episode before setting off again.
The content of the 17th episode, as the keywords indicate, was the story of Orochimaru and Kabuto, including the reason why Orochimaru pursued immortality, Kabuto's undercover work in various villages to collect intelligence, and how Orochimaru was killed and swallowed by Sasuke. Overall, it was not of much value and could only serve as a supplement to past intelligence materials.
Seven days later, Jiraiya took Naruto to find Orochimaru's base in the Land of Grass, where he met Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi after a year of absence.
"Where's Sasuke?! Where did you hide Sasuke?" Naruto, who was very prejudiced against Orochimaru, asked with a vigilant expression when he saw that Sasuke was not among the people who came out to greet him.
"Haha, you are really obsessed with Sasuke, Naruto-kun." Orochimaru smiled sinisterly, but his eyes were quite peaceful: "But sometimes you still have to use your brain a little. Itachi is standing here now, what else can I do to Sasuke."
"Who knows if you have done anything..." Naruto muttered unconvinced, and then Jiraiya knocked his head hard and interrupted the topic immediately.
"Okay, okay! I know you care about Sasuke, but you should restrain yourself a little... Orochimaru, how is Sasuke's training going? When can he compete with Naruto? Naruto has grown a lot this year."
Jiraiya patted Naruto's shoulder and showed a boastful expression. Hearing this, Orochimaru lowered his eyes and laughed: "It's really unfortunate, because Sasuke just opened the Mangekyō Sharingan a few days ago, so he is still recuperating. If he wants to compete with Naruto, I think he will have to wait at least a month."
"Rest? According to the plan given by Tsunade and Itachi after research, the sequelae of Sasuke opening the Mangekyō should not be so serious? He actually needs to rest?At least a month of care?" Jiraiya scratched his head.
"Hehe, maybe it's too much stimulation, Sasuke is still young after all." Orochimaru smiled with narrowed eyes.
Although he was a little confused, after seeing Itachi's expression was a little strange, but he didn't refute it, Jiraiya also accepted Orochimaru's statement.
Suiyue, who was standing behind Orochimaru, curled his lips and thought speechlessly: 'It's because he was despised and killed by Sasuke on the sky curtain a few days ago, so he deliberately got back at him here. Really, Lord Orochimaru is too...'
"In that case, Naruto and I...How about staying here for a month? Don't worry, the food expenses will be given to you. "Jiraiya was joking, but unexpectedly, Orochimaru agreed immediately.
"It's okay. Since Itachi and Sasuke let me collect good experimental data, it's no problem to take you in for a while. If Naruto is willing to lie on my experimental table, it's no problem to let you stay for a lifetime."
Seeing Orochimaru licking his lips with his tongue, Naruto, with a cold face, immediately hid behind Jiraiya and showed a vigilant expression.
Jiraiya also ignored Naruto's actions, and shook his head at Orochimaru with a look of disgust: "Forget it, I'm just joking. I'm not interested in staying in your dark and humid place for a month. This immortal still has a lot of field work to do."
"Hehe, until now, you haven't given up those boring things... The current ninja world is only calm on the surface, and the situation may change drastically at any time, or you, as the guide of the son of prophecy, are ready to hand over all the burdens to him." Orochimaru said and looked at Naruto deeply.
