In an unknown location Orochimaru was leaning in opposition to the wall watching Shizune desperately attempt to stabilize her trainer with a malicious grin.

‘Simply as I assumed. Her important response is significantly better than all of my earlier check topics. However that is nonetheless a fragile second. Issues might go flawed at any second. But when I can succeed, I will be that a lot nearer to reaching my ambition.’

As he watched the younger medic work he observed a paper with a seal on the close by wall instantly burn to ssh. The Snake Sannin’s grin barely widened as he noticed the paper go up in flames.’So that they discovered the physique huh. They should have gotten the data from Mizuki in some way. Effectively, it will not matter.’

“Lord Orochimaru. Please come inside. I simply completed the duty you assigned me.”

“Kukuku… Howdy Ko. I take it that every part went effectively.”

“Sure Lord Orochimaru. Mizuki simply left a couple of minutes in the past. I did simply as you requested and obtained the fee proper right here.”

Orochimaru might see that the blonde ninja was nervous and making an attempt to cover that reality.

“Good. I knew I might rely on you. There’s another factor I would like you to do.”

“No matter you want my Lord.” Ko replied and gave a small bow. Orochimaru’s grin widened as he seemed on the man.

The Grass Sword instantly appeared from Orochimaru’s sleeve. The Sannin grabbed it and slashed at Ko with murderous intent. “Die for me.”

The Yamanaka ninja rapidly reacted and was in a position to keep away from the killing strike however he was nonetheless wounded. There was a deep slash throughout his chest.

Orochimaru smiled as he noticed that. “Superb Ko. You would not have been in a position to keep away from that strike when you weren’t vigilant in opposition to me… And if I wasn’t toying with you… Hihi…”

Ko was grim as he checked out his opponent. He knew simply how harmful the person in entrance of him was. “Wh-why? I’ve served loyally…”

Listening to that excuse Orochimaru’s expression become certainly one of mock disappointment. “Why do you misinform me Ko? Hihihi…”

The Yamanaka ninja was silent and was pondering of the way to flee.’He is aware of. Rattling it. However I used to be so certain that I wasn’t adopted…’

The smile on the snake Sannin’s face vanished and Ko started to really feel his killing intent.

“I adopted you to your assembly with the Leaf Anbu. I noticed that Anbu forcing your hand. I do know you are spying on me below menace from the Hokage. I might have killed each of you then and there however… Effectively, I had a greater concept.”

“Sure. That was the unique plan. I do know you have been maintaining a tally of my shipments and their routes. I thought of utilizing you to ship them on a wild goose chase however I’ve modified my thoughts.”

Earlier than Ko might use any seals to and attempt to escape, Orochimaru vanished from his place and Ko was stabbed via the guts from behind.

“It is higher if that they had no intel in any respect.” The merciless Sannin whispered in Ko’s ear. He sensed the person’s vitals drop and in seconds the spy was useless and on the bottom.

Orochimaru seemed on the useless man bleeding on the ground with no outward response.’My plans cannot have any wrinkles. I would like to verify all of the variables are in my favor.’

He rapidly sealed the physique in a scroll and left the cabin after establishing the entice.

Daichi, Anko and Genma watched the explosion from behind a tree a number of meters away from the blast.

“That is a giant explosion. I suppose he actually did lay a entice for whoever got here right here.” Genma stated with a raised eyebrow as he noticed the fiery smoke rising into the sky.

“Shadow clones for the win.” Anko stated with a whistle.

The three ninjas obtained the reminiscences of their clones and could not assist however sigh. “A lot for accumulating proof and clues.” Genma spoke as he seemed on the destroyed cabin.

“We do know a number of issues.” Daichi instantly spoke and the 2 Jonin turned their consideration to him.

“I noticed the injuries on that man’s physique. A slash wound throughout the chest from a sword and a stab wound to the guts. And he died a few week in the past.” Daichi seemed on the destroyed cabin after which turned his consideration to the stock checklist infront of him.

In it the most recent merchandise was the hand of Ko Yamanaka.’This can undoubtedly turn out to be useful.’

“Orochimaru is being too cautious. One thing tells me we can’t have any luck following our different leads.” Anko spoke as she seemed on the burning cabin with a darkish frown.

Daichi’s eyes narrowed as he seemed on the inferno.’I am unable to waste anymore time. That is the most effective alternative. Time to place my plans into motion.’New n0vel chapters are printed on

“I will increase my search. We won’t quit.” Daichi spoke whereas making the seal for the Shadow clone jutsu.

5 stable clones popped up in a big puff of smoke. Beneath the quilt of the smoke and in only a cut up second the true Daichi gave two of his clones a scroll. Of the 5 shadow clones created, two of them had very particular directions.

With Daichi’s two clones.

Itachi in the meantime was making an attempt to determine a method to inform the village of the data he was gathering right here.’If something occurs to Tsunade it could make the opposite villages bolder and they’d begin to act. Issues are sure to go uncontrolled in such a situation. They should discover her as rapidly as doable earlier than something occurs.’

“Has details about this incident unfold to the opposite villages?” Itachi requested with a relaxed tone.

“No. Primarily based on my commentary, even amongst the Leaf village solely a handful of individuals know the matter. A number of excessive stage Jonin who’re investigating the assault, her pupil Daichi and the Hokage.” Black Zetsu replied.

“The place do you assume that snake hid them?” Deidara requested.

“Attacking one of many Sannin and a member of the Senju clan is sure to deliver Orochimaru bother. However abducting them. If it have been me I would not even keep within the nation for some time… However then once more I’d… simply to see who would come after me…” Kisame stated with a blood thirsty grin.

“Any info on Orochimaru’s actions?” Itachi requested with a nonchalant tone.

Black Zetsu was silent as he heard Itachi’s query. He knew the person was a spy.’Obito did not say to maintain the data hidden. So he should have a method to cease Itachi from contacting the village.’

“I used to be in a position to analyze his journey patterns for the final a number of months and I may need one thing. There’s a probability he is within the Earth nation.” Black Zetsu replied after cautious consideration.

“I do not assume he could possibly be within the Stone village. That rattling previous Tsuchikage would not belief Orochimaru one bit and he would not give him any help or conceal that snake in his village.” Deidara rapidly shook his head and replied.

“I did not say the Hidden stone village. I stated he could be within the Earth nation. And also you’re proper Deidara. Primarily based on my intel, Orochimaru did not go to the village. He met with somebody within the Stone Royal courtroom. However I do not know any extra. He managed to maintain issues hidden even from me.”

Deidara nodded in understanding. “Ohh that makes extra sense. Oh man. That previous man shouldn’t be gonna be pleased if something occurs.” He chuckled as he imagined Onoki’s offended expression if he heard the information that Orochimaru and Tsunade have been in his nation.

“If the opposite villages discover out in regards to the scenario within the village, they might undoubtedly attempt to take benefit.” Sasori knew that everybody could be trying to tear a chunk of the Hearth nation in the event that they confirmed any indicators of weaknesses.

“Sure. That is why we’ll want to watch the scenario intently. And if the chance arises then we are able to take benefit as effectively.” Ache replied.

“What about Tsunade’s pupil?” Kakuzu instantly inquired.

“Shizune? She was additionally taken. Whereabouts unknown.” Zetsu replied.

“No. Not her. I am speaking about Daichi Hekima.” Kakuzu had a smile as he requested this query.

“Hey Kakuzu. You going after that child?” Hidan requested his associate.

“I am contemplating it.”

“Primarily based on my info, he left the village this morning with Jonins Anko and Genma.”

“What are you consider, Kakuzu?” Ache requested the person.

“Primarily based on what we all know, that child is kind of the medic ninja. He could possibly be a helpful bargaining chip for us. Possibly even maintain him for a pleasant ransom.”

Ache was considerate as he heard that.’If he might heal my legs then I will be that a lot stronger.’

“The Leaf village is on excessive alert. All actions all through the nation are being monitored.” Black Zetsu replied.

“The place is Daichi now?” Ache instantly requested Zetsu.

“Hmm. If I am proper, his group must be close to the capital. Are you planning on going after that child Ache?”

The chief of the Akatsuki group nodded. He turned his consideration to the Zombie brothers. “Kakuzu, Hidan. Your duties have modified. Monitor Daichi Hekima and subdue him. Then deliver him to me.”

“Alright. Let’s go kill some Leaf villagers.” Hidan’s pleasure was seen to everybody.

“No. You need to solely go after Daichi if he is alone or if there may be solely minimal safety. You are not allowed to assault the Leaf village or trigger an excessive amount of chaos within the Hearth nation. Our group nonetheless wants to take care of anonymity.” Ache gave the order.

“What about the remainder of us?” Kisame requested whereas Itachi remained silent.

“You will full the present duties and look forward to additional directions. Relying on how this case develops, we would need to take motion.”

“Understood.”

“That’s all.” With that Ache’s determine disappeared from the cave after which everybody else left as effectively.
