I rely on myself

Chapter 692 Fate
Orochimaru looked at Jie, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. Of course, he pretended to be indifferent on the surface, and at the same time he spoke sarcastically without any hesitation.

"What a sharp remark. Or is this the so-called magnanimity of the immortals? It's really eye-opening."

"Okay, stop showing off your words. It will only make you look more guilty, Orochimaru. And I'm not here to waste my time on you. Just be clear. If you dare to attack our people again, I won't let you get away as easily as last time. I hope you'll be fine."

Faced with Orochimaru's sarcasm, Jie knew that he was not good at languages, so he made his intentions clear and warned the other party directly.

After hearing what Zed said, which was a direct warning of a threat, Orochimaru's face instantly turned gloomy and ugly.

After all, in Orochimaru's view, although Jie's strength did make him very wary, he was ultimately just an unknown figure in today's ninja world, while he himself was already a famous strong man. The gap between the two made him seem a little impatient at this moment.

But Orochimaru was Orochimaru after all, and he quickly calmed down again. After all, regardless of whether he could win or not, there was no benefit at all in fighting with the opponent here, so Orochimaru simply gave in.

“Hehe, okay, my actions did go a little over the line, so I’ll apologize here. There shouldn’t be anything else to do. I have other things to do here, so I’ll take my leave first…Dou, you should be able to figure out what to do next with your intelligence, so I won’t say much. I look forward to your performance.”

Orochimaru first apologized very straightforwardly, then after giving an order to Kabuto Yakushi behind him, he immediately used the technique of instant body movement and left. Only Zed and Kabuto Yakushi were left at the scene. He was not worried at all about whether anything would happen to his subordinates.

"Thank you very much, Lord Jie. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have lost my life, but I would have suffered a lot."

After Orochimaru left, Kabuto suddenly put on a very respectful look and thanked Jie. Jie, on his part, did not show any surprise, but accepted it very directly and replied.

"Okay, don't be so exaggerated. I can't help you with your situation at all. If you want to apologize, it should be me."

"No, please don't say that, Lord Jie. There is nothing we can do about it. After all, as someone who has been with Orochimaru for so many years, I know very well how powerful Lord Orochimaru is. So this is definitely not your problem... I have other things to do next, so please allow me to leave first. By the way, please say hello to the dean for me."

When the title of Dean was mentioned, a warm and nostalgic expression appeared on Dou's face, but it only lasted for a moment before it was retracted and returned to his usual seemingly gentle but actually indifferent expression.

Without waiting for Jie's reply, he turned around and left without looking back.

Watching Dou's figure gradually going away and finally disappearing from his sight, Jie sighed deeply, with a look of deep helplessness on his face.

"Really? Why did I have to encounter such a thing? I have no problem fighting, but I have no way to deal with these strange secret techniques and restrictions..."

Jie kept complaining, and at the same time he was at a loss as to how to tell Yakushi Nono about this matter after returning to the Snow Country.

Yakushi Nono was once a top spy ninja in Konoha, known as the 'walking priestess'. She had successfully infiltrated other ninja villages many times and obtained valuable intelligence.

In the previous Ninja World War, it was because of this that Konoha achieved impressive results on some battlefields. Of course, in addition to being a ninja, Nono is also the director of a Konoha orphanage and has adopted many orphans, including Kabuto Yakushi.

When escaping from Konoha on the night of the genocide, Nono naturally took the people from the orphanage with him, but Kabuto was not among them. This was because Nono was once a ninja belonging to the root of Konoha.

Because of her kind character and her natural love for children, Nono would rather stay with the children in the orphanage than infiltrate other ninja villages as a spy.

Naturally, Danzo, the leader of the Root, did not want to see this situation, so he threatened the survival of the orphanage and forced Nonou to continue serving him. This was one of the reasons why Nonou agreed to Lin Yuan's invitation.

Under pressure, Nono could only infiltrate the Root as a spy again, but Danzo still felt that this was not safe, so he made another request, which was to let a child from the orphanage join the Root as a safety net. Needless to say, that child was Kabuto.

Because of this, on the night of the genocide, Kabuto was in the Land of Earth, thousands of miles away, and Nono would naturally not give up on Kabuto just like that.

He asked Lin Yuan for a ship to go to the Land of Earth to bring Dou back, and Lin Yuan naturally had no objection to this.

After a long journey, Nono quickly arrived at the Land of Earth, but did not find Kabuto. This was because Kabuto's talents were seen and appreciated by Orochimaru, who used some means to take him away.

After some hard searching, although Nono did not find Kabuto, he found relevant information. Even with his excellent intelligence gathering ability, he quickly found out that it was Orochimaru who took Kabuto away.

Nono had naturally no way to deal with Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas, and could only ask for help from Lin Yuan. However, due to the situation in the Snow Country at that time, Lin Yuan himself could not leave easily, so he could only send some combat forces to help.

After some effort, Nono naturally met Kabuto again, and the two resolved their misunderstandings, but they were unable to take Kabuto away.

Because as a person who pursues the truth, Orochimaru may not know much else, but he definitely knows a lot of various ninjutsu, secret techniques, forbidden techniques, and so on. Naturally, Kabuto also has some backup plans he left on him.

In terms of strength, Nono, who had the help of Lin Yuan at the time, was naturally very confident that he could defeat Orochimaru, but being able to defeat him does not mean that there is a way to kill him.

Because of some kind of restriction on Kabuto's body, and it was the type that could silence people when necessary, Nono could only watch Orochimaru take Kabuto away, unable to do anything.

After that, Nono had no choice but to take the others back to the Snow Country.

Nono felt very regretful for his own powerlessness, so he worked very hard in the following years and eventually became a member of the immortals.
