Goku's Journey to Another World from Naruto

Chapter 167: Undercurrents in Konoha (Part )

As night falls, the deep night sky is dotted with twinkling stars like diamonds, making one unable to help but look up and admire them.

The breeze blew, carrying the fresh scent of the fields and the fragrant smell wafting from somewhere unknown.

In a small courtyard, firewood was burning brightly, blocking out the darkness that was coming from all around.

Above the dancing flames, the skewers of meat on the grill are fragrant and appetizing.

The fat dripped onto the firewood along the golden crispy skin, making a sizzling sound.

"Ouch!"

An arm stretched out from the side, quickly took down a skewer of meat, and stuffed the meat into his mouth without hesitation.

"Siguoyi! It's delicious!"

When the piece of meat was swallowed, Naruto's eyes lit up and he let out an exclamation of praise.

"Bai, I didn't expect you to have such a skill!"

He gave a thumbs-up to Bai who was fiddling with the grill.

"Haha, no, no, I just know a little bit."

Bai raised his head and smiled shyly.

"Well, it's really delicious, Shiro. Your cooking skills are comparable to Karin's."

Wukong also took a skewer of meat and came to the same conclusion after tasting it.

Bai Lianlian shook his head: "Mr. Wukong, you are too kind to me. I still need to learn a lot from Karin."

Karin waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, it's me who wants to learn from you, Bai."

The two began to enter into a business-like mutual praise mode.

While eating, Kakashi asked, "By the way, Haku, Zabuza, what are your plans next? Even though the Akatsuki organization has retreated this time, there's no guarantee that they'll come looking for you again in the future."

During these two days, he has already learned the reason why Akatsuki organization targeted Zabuza and Haku.

They also learned why the other party wanted to kill them.

Although it stands to reason that the other party will not come again, but what if?
"Not ready yet."

Zabuza, who was sitting next to Bai, looked up at the starry sky with some confusion in his eyes.

He had already retired to the mountains and had no intention of getting involved in the affairs of the ninja world, but someone still came to him.

Could it be that because he had killed too many people in the past, God did not allow him to retire to the mountains and enjoy life?
"I don't know either. Maybe I should find a deserted island to live on, but is there such an island?"

Bai Ye shook his head in confusion.

Even if such an island really existed, he wouldn't really like it because it was too deserted.

He still hopes that there will be some worldly touch in his life.

"I say, isn't this a simple matter? Bai, you just need to come with us!"

Naruto suddenly spoke up.

"Come with us. If those guys dare to come, I'll beat them all back!"

He rolled up his sleeves and swung his fists, trying his best to show his masculinity.

"idiot."

Sasuke couldn't help but curl his lips at his behavior.

"What did you say?! Damn Sasuke!"

Naruto rolled his eyes in anger.

"Have you forgotten who Zabuza used to be and where we are going now?"

Sasuke crossed his arms and looked at me like I was an idiot.

"Who is that? It's Kirigakure—"

Naruto's throat suddenly choked when he was halfway through his words and he blinked.

Oh yes, Zabuza is a rebel ninja being hunted by the Hidden Mist Village, and they are going to the Hidden Mist Village now.

If Zabuza goes with them, wouldn't that be walking into a trap?
"Oh, you get it, idiot."

Seeing him stunned, Sasuke curled the corners of his mouth.

"What should I do?"

Naruto ignored his taunting this time, resting his chin on his hand, frowning in thought.

As Bai's friend, he certainly didn't want anything to happen to him.

They were lucky to have discovered it this time, but it may not be the case next time. They can't let Wukong check on the other party from time to time to see if anything happened to him.

"I have an idea."

At this time, Kakashi, who had been frowning and thinking, looked at Bai and Zabuza and said slowly:
"If you don't mind, you can stay in Konoha for a while. I will explain this to the Hokage, and he should agree."

"I don't know what's going on in Kirigakure right now. If I have a chance, I will ask the Mizukage if they can cancel the wanted warrant for you."

"Of course, this possibility is very small, almost non-existent, after all."

He didn't say anything else because he believed Zabuza understood what he meant.

The Hidden Mist Village is known as the Village of Bloody Mist. The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, has been wreaking tyranny for years, causing many Mist Ninjas to suffer.

Zabuza tried to assassinate the other party because he was dissatisfied with his tyranny, but after his failure, he became a traitor overnight.

And now, if the situation in the Hidden Mist Village was still like this, he would definitely not ask the Mizukage about such matters.

Otherwise, the other party might regard them as enemies and gather the entire village to surround and kill them.

"Kakashi, I appreciate your kindness, but I won't bother you anymore."

After a moment's silence, Zabuza replied.

He knew best what the situation of his village was like, and there was no possibility of changing the situation unless the Fourth Mizukage died.

And how could that man die so easily? He became the Mizukage because of his great strength when he was young. After so many years, his strength has only become stronger.

What he didn't know was that the Fourth Mizukage Yagura had actually been controlled by Uchiha Obito a long time ago.

Not long after he defected from the village, the future Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, discovered that he was being controlled by an illusion.

After having his illusion removed, the Fourth Mizukage only lived for a few years before passing away.

It can be said that today's Kirigakure is no longer the blood mist village of the past, but the outside world does not know it yet.

"I have no plans to go back to that village. It doesn't matter whether the wanted notice is withdrawn or not."

"As for going to Konoha to stay for a while, forget it."

"You guys are still going to travel to the Water Country. It would take up too much time for you to accompany us back."

Zabuza shook his head.

"If that's what you're worried about, you don't have to worry about it."

Kakashi smiled inscrutable.

"Huh? Why?"

Bai asked curiously.

Like Zabuza, he also thought that it was too much trouble for others.

"Because we have Goku."

"what?"

Looking at Goku eating heartily on the side, Bai and Zabuza both had question marks on their heads.

No, what does this have to do with Goku?
At the same time, in Konoha far away on the other side.

In a dark and secret basement, two sinister people met.

"Hmph, are you finally done, Orochimaru? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Danzo, with deep wrinkles and a gloomy face, revealing only the deep eyes of an old fox, snorted coldly at Orochimaru in front of him.

"Hehehe, isn't it that you are too inefficient? If you could find a container suitable for my reincarnation earlier, I could have completed it long ago."

Orochimaru licked his lips, and a cold smile appeared in his creepy snake eyes. Although he could transfer his soul to another container through the Reincarnation Technique, not every body was suitable to be his container.

This involves a question of compatibility.

For example, the container he abandoned not long ago was highly compatible with him, allowing him to fully exert all his strength and allowing him to use it for seven or eight years without any rejection reaction.

Like in the original work, because Sasuke's container was delayed and he himself could not bear the pain brought by the Shikigami Fūjin, he had to choose to reincarnate into a temporary container with low compatibility.

His full strength could not be brought into play, and he began to experience rejection after only three years of use.

and so--

This time when choosing the reincarnation container, he selected it carefully and did not choose those containers that were not highly compatible.

However, a container with a high degree of fit is not easy to find. Danzo sent people to capture hundreds of people before finally finding a suitable one.

"Humph, aren't your demands too high? I've captured so many people for you, and you're still not satisfied."

Danzo snorted unhappily.

In the past few months, he has spent a lot of manpower to find a container for Orochimaru, and he also has to ensure that it is kept secret so that Sarutobi Hiruzen won't find out.

If Orochimaru hadn't been so useful to him, he would have stopped long ago.

"Haha, well, let's not talk about this anymore. You help me find the container, and I give you the experimental materials you want. No one owes anyone anything."

"I came to see you today, you wouldn't just tell me this."

Orochimaru didn't want to waste any more time talking to Danzo, so he changed the subject.

Danzo didn't insist and took over the topic directly.

"Of course, now that you are well, we can prepare to implement our plan."

"You know, I have been preparing for a long time."

There was a hint of viciousness and murderous intent in his eyes.

"Sarutobi, Sarutobi, you have been the Hokage for long enough, it is my turn to take the throne."

"Only I can make Konoha truly powerful!"

"And you, stay in the underworld and watch how I develop Konoha."

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth, a sinister smile flashed across his face: "Oh? It looks like you can't wait."

"Before we start the plan, I want to ask you, do you know where that man is now?"

"If he's here, it will be difficult for our plan to be successfully implemented."

After hearing his words, Danzo seemed to have thought of something and his one eye narrowed slightly.

"Don't worry, there's no way I haven't considered this kind of thing. He, Kakashi, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and others have been traveling around the Ninja World. Not long ago, he left the Land of Lightning and was about to go to the Land of Water."

Orochimaru seemed to be thinking about something, and then a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes:
"Well, there is one more question."

"If, I mean if, if that man suddenly appears in Konoha, how will you deal with him? You know, that man knows a space-time ninjutsu that is more powerful than Flying Thunder God."

"."

After a brief silence, Danzo lowered his eyelids and said in a calm tone:
"Don't worry about it, Orochimaru. I have my own solution."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, completely unable to tell whether the answer was true or false from the other person's face.

Does he really have a solution, or...
There is absolutely no way, we can only bet that this may not happen.

After a brief thought, he did not continue to ask this question, but discussed other details of the plan with the other party.

I don’t know how long it took.

"So Danzo, there is only one last question left. When do you want to start this plan?"

Danzo raised his head, and his eyes seemed to pass through the ceiling and see the inky black night sky.

"tomorrow."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

In the dark cave, several violent coughs suddenly broke the silence.

An unclear figure sat up after hearing the noise and relit the firewood that had gone out at some point.

In an instant, the light brought by the flames dispelled the darkness here, making everything in the cave clearly visible.

"Hey, are you okay, Itachi?"

The person who lit the firewood was actually Hoshigaki Kisame, and the person who kept coughing beside him was Uchiha Itachi.

After an unknown amount of time, Uchiha Itachi finally stopped coughing and replied calmly, "I'm fine."

However, Hoshigaki Kisame could see the shocking blood in the other's palm.

'It looks like he's getting sicker. Is it because of the fighting?'

He thought secretly in his heart.

"When you were unconscious today, I reported the situation."

"Okay, I get it now."

Uchiha Itachi nodded slightly.

".Are you really okay? You were unconscious for most of the day."

Hoshigaki Kisame still has some concern for this companion, with whom he initially had a conflict but with whom he now has a fairly harmonious relationship.

"It's okay. I'm much better now. I shouldn't be unconscious again."

Uchiha Itachi said calmly.

Then he leaned against the wall of the cave, turned his head to look at the starry night sky outside the cave, and his thoughts seemed to drift to the battle with Sasuke a few days ago.

At that time, the dazzling light suddenly released by Sasuke caused great stimulation to his eyes, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was blinded.

Although he is in an illusion space, his eyes will not really go blind in reality.

However, since the pain suffered in Tsukuyomi will be reflected in reality, even if he is the caster, he is no exception.

So after the Tsukuyomi was lifted, his eyes closed in pain and could not be opened.

As for the blood flowing from his eyes and his occasional coma in the past few days, that was another reason.

"What kind of move is that?"

He recalled a move Sasuke had unleashed at the last moment.

Because his eyes were closed due to stimulation, he did not see the move.

However, he personally experienced the horror of that move.

Even though he quickly released Tsukuyomi, that move still hurt him in the Tsukuyomi space, that is, hurt his spiritual body.

It is precisely because of this that, due to mental trauma, he has been unconscious from time to time in the past few days, and his Sharingan, which is closely related to the mind, has been bleeding.

"Sasuke, in just half a year, you have changed so much that I cannot imagine."

"These things were all taught to you by Sun Wukong, right?"

His eyes were leisurely, as if he saw the figure standing next to Sasuke.

As he had always been paying attention to Sasuke, he naturally learned a long time ago that Sasuke had found a new teacher.

And now all these amazing things shown by Sasuke could obviously only be due to his teacher.

'This man, what is the reason why he taught you these powers?'

He previously thought that Goku was just a person with strong personal skills, so he was not too wary of him.

But now it seems that the opponent is not only strong in physical skills, but also obviously possesses other mysterious powers unknown to ordinary people.

Plus its origin is mysterious.

He was now deeply wary of this person, worried that he had ulterior motives in teaching Sasuke these unique powers.

"Sun Wukong, I guess I have to find a chance to meet him alone."
