Chapter 155 A Fateful Encounter, The Path to God
Has the Akatsuki organization officially chosen to be stationed near Kirigakure and submitted its application to establish a presence there?
by.

The Uchiha clan wants to secretly send some ninjas to Kirigakure?
Could the Uchiha clan really have fooled Danzo and sent their clansmen over?

Forget it, this isn't something I should be thinking about.

If you really have the ability, it would be good to send it over.

by.

Kushina Uzumaki is about to give birth and will soon begin her pregnancy.

At this particular historical juncture, the mastermind behind it all, Obito Uchiha, did nothing more than send some White Zetsu with insufficient intelligence to assassinate Kushina.

This is easy to see from this point.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage is about to erupt just like it has in history.

This could be an opportunity to completely integrate Konoha into Kirigakure.

Naoki Kaguya was already prepared for all of this, so she only glanced at it before walking straight past it.

He turned to the next scroll.

Orochimaru?
Oh?
The project has made new progress, and I absolutely must go and see it.

Naoki Kaguya couldn't help but smile.

If there's no further progress, I'll twist off your snake head and put it back on.

I'm not Danzo's partner who got completely fooled by you.

I casually placed the unfinished scroll on the table, feeling quite pleased.

Too much work is unbearable, so it's better to openly and honestly slack off.

Soon, Kaguya Naoki arrived near the base he had specifically set up for Orochimaru.

Out of caution, he opened his white eye and saw a familiar person.

A familiar man wearing glasses.
-
"At this distance, we shouldn't be discovered, right?"

Kabuto reached up and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, which had broken out after suddenly seeing Kaguya Naoki and running away. He let out a deep breath.

We need to be more careful next time.

I almost got targeted by that guy.

The fear in my heart quickly dissipated, replaced by a sense of joy.

In this light, my speculation was correct.

Dou confidently pushed up his glasses.

Not long ago, he was sent to Kirigakure to carry out a spy mission and gather intelligence.

Compared to other reform data that had already been largely stolen by various ninja villages, Orochimaru's whereabouts remained a closely guarded secret.

Danzo quickly remembered Yakushi Kabuto, a genius spy.

So Danzo sent him here, and he successfully infiltrated a small shop in Kirigakure as an orphan, becoming a handyman.

During this time, he has been using his identity and information to continuously explore.

Not long ago, Orochimaru's whereabouts were finally discovered.

I wasn't entirely sure at first, but after spotting Kaguya Naoki, I was pretty certain!
"pocket."

"You look out of breath. Come in and have some water."

The coldness in Dou's eyes vanished in an instant. He looked up at the woman who had somehow appeared at the shop entrance and was smiling at him.

Sister Hong!
He suddenly blushed, a blush unique to young people.

He lowered his head, looking very embarrassed.

"Understood, Sister Hong."

"Don't be shy, come in."

Sister Hong turned her back, but was caught in the corner of Dou's eye's eye, and her expression darkened once again.

Sister Hong.

I don't even know if what I'm saying to you is true or false anymore.

Dou pushed up his glasses with a self-deprecating smile.

Now, several months have passed since he arrived in Kirigakure. Faced with Sister Hong's meticulous care, the icy walls in his heart have gradually melted a bit.

This incredibly complex attitude is certainly not what a spy should have.

However, Dou didn't know what to do.

We can't just kill her, can we?
Dou immediately shook his head.

In his eyes, Sister Hong was like the dean.

How could you have such thoughts?

As he pondered, he entered the room. On the table were his favorite fried meatballs. Before he could even walk over, a bowl of sloshing ice water was handed to him.

"Drink quickly."

Sister Hong said with a smile.

"Ah."

Dou nodded slightly, and after only a few sips, she sat down again and started eating fried meatballs.

"Really delicious."

It comes from the bottom of my heart.

Sister Hong revealed a crescent-shaped smile.

“Dou ah.”

"Ah."

"Do you know that not long ago, the Mizukage created something called an orphanage for children like you?"

"Ah."

Dou nodded subconsciously.

"I know."

The orphanage, his former home.

Unconsciously, he also became more concerned about this place, Kirigakure.

“Yes.”

"However, I have some news that you've never heard before."

Red Sister's eyes quickly turned to admiration, and Kabuto, who was familiar with people from Kirigakure, immediately realized that it was time to talk about someone's great achievements.

He also showed an admiring look in his eyes.

"I heard that the Mizukage searched for orphans throughout the Land of Water, and two or three thousand of them joined voluntarily."

Two or three thousand people?

Even though Dou was already a qualified spy, he couldn't help but gasp inwardly at this terrifying number.

Two or three thousand orphans.

Did Kaguya Naoki really make such a huge decision to take in all these orphans?
The Konoha orphanage used to have only a few dozen children.

"Can I still lie to you?"

Sister Hong smiled.

"There are two or three thousand people in total. The Mizukage plans to place them in an orphanage and send them to the ninja academy when they reach the appropriate age."

"Then, based on their talent, they are divided into three levels, giving each person a life that belongs to them."

Dou stopped chewing.

He silently lowered his head.

"Really? Sister Hong?"

"Giving everyone a life they can choose?"

"They were just a group of orphans without parents."

"of course."

Sister Hong seemed quite certain.

"That's Lord Mizukage, a man of his word, who always keeps his promises."

Dou silently chewed on the fried meatballs.

Somewhat envious.

only.

My life is already set.

From this point on, it cannot be changed.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Sister Hong suddenly stood up, came to her senses, and was startled, but still immediately showed the trepidation of a young person.

"Mizukage-sama."

The two shouted in unison.

"Ah."

Naoki Kaguya smiled and nodded, then stepped inside and spoke gently to Kurenai.

"Since this person is also an orphan, I'd like to take him under my wing and train him. You wouldn't mind, would you?"

"Not at all, thank you, Lord Mizukage!"

Red Sister's face lit up with joy, and she could no longer care about the excitement she felt from seeing the Mizukage for the first time. Instead, she immediately began to think about Kabuto's future.

"pocket."

Sister Hong was getting a little anxious.

Dou still looked like a young boy, suddenly overwhelmed with surprise, and somewhat timid and speechless.

"Lord Mizukage, thank you very much."

"I'll go with you."

"I'm still quite busy."

"So I took him with me."

Sister Hong nodded and gave Dou a thumbs-up.

Dou smiled bitterly to himself, and finally shouted out.

"Goodbye."

"I'm going to die." Following Kaguya Naoki through the streets and alleys, feeling the cold aura emanating from him, Kabuto had only one thought in his mind.

It happened.

His life was about to end here.

just.

I haven't met the Dean yet.

The problem of orphanages has not yet been resolved.

I haven't really said goodbye to Sister Hong yet.

It's still a pity.

Even facing death, Dou remained remarkably rational.

She has absolutely no chance against Naoki Kaguya.

Once he sets his sights on you, there is only one way out: death.

Following Kaguya Naoki through the bustling streets, then into the alley he had just desperately fled from, they finally arrived at the location he had marked earlier, which was very likely Orochimaru's research base.

Following Kaguya Naoki inside, I finally recognized him when I saw rows of test tubes and the familiar long-haired man.

Orochimaru.

It really is here.

"Humph."

"It seems Naoki-kun brought me an interesting little guy."

"You know him?"

Naoki Kaguya pretended not to know anything.

"of course."

Orochimaru smiled.

"He is Danzo's subordinate."

"Why not leave it to me?"

"can."

"This child should have belonged to you."

Naoki Kaguya said something nonsensical, then became serious again.

"but."

“This child has formed a bond with the villagers of Kirigakure.”

"Don't let anyone die."

"I know."

Orochimaru seemed to have been hit where it hurt, and reluctantly nodded.

In past experiments, Naoki Kaguya also wouldn't allow him to cause any deaths, which restricted his actions.

If he weren't truly unable to win or escape, and if there weren't plenty of equipment and even more money here, Orochimaru would have left long ago.

Feeling somewhat irritated, Orochimaru didn't bother with beating around the bush.

"Naoki-kun, let's ask this child to leave for a moment. My major discovery cannot be known to others."

"Okay, now it's OK."

In the empty room, only the voices of the two people and the gurgling sound of the medicine continued to echo.

Orochimaru nodded, and couldn't help but lick his lips.

"Naoki-kun, after carefully studying everything about you, I can only describe you as a monster."

"The Kaguya clan has evolved the Corpse Bone Pulse, as well as the purest Ice Release of the Minazuki clan, and a pair of even purer Byakugan. Furthermore, I can faintly sense an unnamed bloodline with immense vitality within you."

"I suspect it's either the Thousand Hands or the Uzumaki."

"swirl."

Naoki Kaguya would never try to hide anything about such a thing.

"A whirlpool."

Orochimaru nodded very seriously, then sighed as if unconsciously.

"It seems that the Whirlpool Bloodline alone is not enough to suppress the restlessness in your body caused by the overwhelming power of the Corpse Bone Vein."

"So, it must be the Byakugan that's suppressing it. That's why, even though the Byakugan isn't helping you much anymore, you're still having me study it."

Seeing that Kaguya Naoki nodded slightly, Orochimaru continued.

"However, I have a better suggestion."

"Naoki-kun, you could try installing a Sharingan."

"Even the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"I suspect that these eyes can also suppress the restlessness of the corpse veins and enhance your strength."

"Your suggestion is a good one."

"but."

"Let's not talk about it."

Naoki Kaguya smiled and shook his head.

"It seems Orochimaru, you're underestimating these eyes and being too limited in your perspective."

"My eye rolls are no longer the ordinary eye rolls I used to have."

Naoki Kaguya's words were startling, causing Orochimaru's expression to freeze.

"You just mentioned the Mangekyou Sharingan. The Byakugan family, which is on par with the Sharingan, also has a path to advancement."

Orochimaru's expression immediately turned to one of fanaticism.

A roll of the eyes that could get you promoted!
This was information he had never learned in Konoha Village.

Even the Hyuga clan, I'm afraid.

wrong.

If the main family deliberately concealed it, no one in the world would know.

"Naoki-kun".

Orochimaru, quick-witted as ever, soon discovered the flaw in the plan.

"How did you, a member of the Kaguya clan, manage to evolve these eyes?"

Naoki Kaguya chuckled a few times.

"Of course, it's because of the unique relationship between Kaguya and Hinata."

Naoki Kaguya stopped keeping him in suspense and began to explain the past.

Orochimaru had never heard of or was interested in this history.

"Before the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, established the ninja village system, during the Warring States period, the Hyuga clan and our Kaguya clan always maintained a very close relationship."

"Is there anything strange about this?"

Orochimaru frowned in confusion.

"During the Warring States period, it was perfectly normal for various ninja clans to have allies when they fought and conquered each other."

“No, you’re wrong, Orochimaru,” Kaguya Naoki pointed to himself, then to the Byakugan in his eye socket.

"According to the information I found in the Kaguya clan's documents, the relationship between Hyuga and Kaguya can be traced back to the era of the Sage of Six Paths a thousand years ago..."

"A thousand years?"

Orochimaru remained puzzled.

"This is quite rare, especially since your Kaguya clan and the Hyuga clan don't seem like they can get along."

He gradually understood something, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Hyuga Moriko is rigid, arrogant and aloof. Your Kaguya clan is bloodthirsty and irritable. Even if you don't form an irreconcilable hatred like the Senju and Uchiha clans in the Warring States period, you will definitely be enemies."

"Neither of you two ninja clans seems like the type to unite and support each other."

"Therefore, there is only one reason that can enable you to cooperate sincerely."

"That means there's a deep-rooted connection between you!"

"Yes."

Naoki Kaguya smiled.

Talking to smart people is a time-saving and effortless activity.

Orochimaru narrowed his long, gloomy eyes.

"So what is the connection, Naoki-kun?"

"Could it be bloodline?"

"Do not."

"How could there be a connection between the Byakugan and the Corpse Bone Pulse?"

"It's about bloodline."

Naoki Kaguya was very certain, while Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.

"Bloodline? How can there be a bloodline connection between you?"

"Have."

"After I investigated all the documents and ancestral lands of the Kaguya clan, and after recently confirming the relationship with Hyuga Hizashi, the leader of the Hyuga branch family."

"I've found a name."

"Otsutsuki Hamura."

"This one name appears in the history of both our peoples and exists as an ancestor at the same time."

"Incredible."

Orochimaru exclaimed in surprise, and upon seeing Kaguya Naoki's Byakugan, he suddenly realized what was happening.

"So, that's why you keep rolling your eyes."

"Yes."

"This is just like the other two ninja clans."

"The Uchiha and Senju clans, however, their ancestor was the legendary Sage of Six Paths."
