The Wind-Controlling Swordsmanship from Under One Person

Chapter 215 Kimimaro, Kabuto Yakushi

In the dim cave, the hideous body of the heretic golem stood tall. The faint light struggled to penetrate the darkness, outlining strange contours on the golem's rough and rugged surface.

The members of Akatsuki were like a group of ghosts in the dark night, scattered and standing on the ten fingers of the Outer Path Golem.

Qin Ye sat alone at the entrance of the cave, cross-legged, with his eyes closed.

The dim candlelight in the cave cast flickering shadows on his stern face, adding a bit of mystery to this silent man.

This online rally was surprisingly quiet, and no one criticized his behavior.

The astonishing efficiency of capturing two tailed beasts in a short period of time forced these unruly rebel ninjas to put aside their contempt.

Especially when Kakuzu described in detail how Qin Ye forcibly captured the Two-Tails Jinchuriki right under the nose of the Raikage, even Scorpion, who had a grudge against Qin Ye, fell silent.

As the sealing technique continued to operate, the chakra of the tailed beast in the wooden man's body was completely extracted, and one of the eyes of the Outer Path Demon Statue opened completely. The bloodshot, needle-shaped pupil flashed with an eerie light in the dim cave.

After the seal was completed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Performing seals continuously for three days had consumed a lot of chakra.

"Huh~" Deidara was the first to collapse on the ground: "This job is really not a human job. I've been making hand seals for three consecutive days and my fingers are cramping."

"Tsk, just three days. For the followers of the immortal evil god, it's just a blink of an eye." Feiduan curled his lips in disdain, and then said to Deidara: "Hey, your name is Deidara, right? Do you want to join the evil god cult?"

Deidara didn't bother to pay attention to Kakuzu. This guy invited anyone he could find to join his cult. The crappy evil god cult looked so cheap, vulgar, and had no artistic value at all.

Pain looked around at everyone, his eyes devoid of any emotion. "The latest intelligence is that the Raikage has called a meeting of the Five Kage. Needless to say, the purpose is to avoid unnecessary losses. Everyone will now go into hiding, focusing on gathering intelligence on the Tailed Beasts and awaiting further instructions."

Since Qin Ye and Kakuzu's whereabouts were exposed in this action, each village would inevitably strengthen the supervision of the tailed beasts. If they forcibly collected the tailed beasts at this time, they would most likely fall into the opponent's trap. Not only would it be hopeless to capture the tailed beasts, it might also lead to the reduction of personnel in the organization, which would not be worth the loss.

Moreover, the Outer Path Demon Statue, which absorbed the complete power of the tailed beasts for the first time, also needed some time to digest it. At the same time, the power of the Six Paths also needed to be further improved.

The best strategy now is to recuperate and redeploy plans.

No one had any objections. Capturing the tailed beasts was not an easy job, so no one would rush to do it.

After everyone logged off, Pain took back the Outer Path Statue.

Then he looked at Qin Ye and Kakuzu and said, "You have done a great job. You have worked hard. Ask Xiaonan for the bounty when you come back. Be careful for the time being and find a place to hide."

He did not blame Qin Ye and Kakuzu for making too much noise. Capturing the tailed beasts would inevitably cause conflicts with the ninja villages to which they belonged, and they would not be handed over to the villagers as gifts.

After giving a few more instructions, Payne's illusion disappeared.

Silence returned to the cave.

Kakuzu stretched his body. Having lost four hearts, he felt empty all over, as if he had lost some vital support, and his sense of security was gone.

"Hey, Ye, what are you going to do next?"

Qin Ye did not answer immediately, but asked: "What about you?"

"I'm going to go find some hearts." Kakuzu gritted his teeth, snorted in hatred, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "Raikage, I must kill him!"

Finding a heart that is compatible with the Earthly Blame is not easy. Not only must the chakra properties of the heart be compatible with the Earthly Blame, but the original owner's strength must not be too weak. Otherwise, even if it is transplanted, it will be difficult to exert its due combat effectiveness.

Kakuzu spent several years to find a suitable heart, but it was almost completely destroyed by the Raikage. The hatred in his heart is naturally difficult to extinguish.

"Then I wish you success." Qin Ye nodded slightly and said nothing more.

After calming down a bit, Kakuzu glanced at Qin Ye with a trace of inquiry in his eyes, and said thoughtfully: "Did you really capture the Eight-Tailed Fox?"

"I said no, do you believe me?" Qin Ye responded in a flat and indifferent tone.

For a moment, the scene fell into silence.

After a long moment, Kakuzu sneered and waved his hand: "Never mind, I'm just asking casually. Don't look like you're going to kill me. Humph, I'm leaving now. I hope you're still alive when we meet next time."

After saying that, Kakuzu walked out of the cave and walked further and further away.

After watching Kakuzu leave, Qin Ye took out the scroll given to him by Orochimaru from his devouring sac.

He gently spread out the scroll, thought for a moment, not knowing whether it would be useful or not, and simply placed his palm on it, slowly injecting Yuan Qi into it.

As the Yuan Qi was injected, there was a bang, a cloud of smoke rose, and a small snake appeared out of thin air.

As soon as the little snake appeared, it turned quickly in place, looking left and right, as if carefully identifying the direction. Then, it swung its body and crawled out of the cave.

Seeing this, Qin Ye immediately hurried to catch up.

He followed the little snake through the mountains and forests, sometimes turning left, sometimes right, and finally came to a hill that was not very high but stretched for a long time.

After arriving here, the little snake suddenly disappeared.

When Qin Ye was full of doubts, he heard a dull rumbling sound coming from the mountain wall that was originally tightly closed. Then, the mountain wall slowly opened to both sides, revealing a deep and dark cave.

A dull and regular sound of footsteps came from the cave, and a white-haired young man slowly walked out of the cave.

The young man had long snow-white hair that fell like a waterfall, his green eyes were like cold pools, and two dots of bright cinnabar dotted between his eyebrows. He exuded a slightly gloomy temperament.

Qin Ye recognized the young man in front of him at a glance.

Kimimaro of the Hyuga clan possesses the Kekkei Genkai 'Corpse Vein', which allows him to manipulate bones as a means of attack.

"Lord Orochimaru is waiting for you. Please follow me."

Kimimaro's voice was cold. After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the cave at a leisurely pace.

For some reason, after Qin Ye saw Kimimaro, his mind couldn't help but think of the Bone-Eroding Clan in the Void. The abilities of both of them were actually related to bones. He wondered if there was any connection.

Shaking his head and throwing away these meaningless thoughts, Qin Ye took a step and followed behind Kimimaro.

A moment later, Qin Ye saw that sinister face without a trace of blood again.

Orochimaru stared at Qin Ye with a half-smile, his voice low and hoarse: "Did you capture the Two-Tails or the Eight-Tails? Hehe, the Raikage is so anxious that he wants to call a Five Kage meeting. You really have some skills."

Orochimaru has spies everywhere, so Qin Ye was not surprised to know this news.

He didn't waste any more time talking to him, but took out the Devouring Sac and released Kirabi.

A torso, two arms, and two legs. The once-proud Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was now in a state of extreme misery. "I've brought you the tailed beast. Now it's up to you. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, believe me, you'll die a miserable death."

Orochimaru ignored the cold threat filled with murderous intent, and all his attention was focused on Killer Bee.

"This is...Yabi?"

During the Third Shinobi World War, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure achieved an astonishing record. When the fierce battle between Konoha and Kumogakure reached a climax, even the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, known as the 'Yellow Flash', who personally went into battle, failed to defeat him.

On the battlefield of the ninja world, desertion is a serious crime, but when faced with the Yellow Flash, all countries have tacitly agreed to an iron rule - when encountering the Yellow Flash, you can retreat without punishment.

According to records, Minato Namikaze once defeated 50 Iwagakure jonin in an instant in an encounter. Such powerful strength was unanimously recognized and respected by all ninja villages.

Therefore, being able to escape unscathed from his hands represents strength in itself.

Qin Ye nodded slightly: "Well, what are you going to do next?"

Orochimaru grinned, his slender tongue slowly sliding across his lips, his eyes flashing with a fanatical desire to explore: "Of course, we must extract the tailed beast first, and then we can do the next experiment."

"Do you have a container?" Qin Ye asked.

Without a sealing carrier like the Outer Path Demon Statue, it would be a very foolish act to rashly separate the tailed beast from the body of the Jinchūriki.

Freed from the restraints of a Jinchūriki, the tailed beasts would become quite violent, much like the difference between a domesticated mountain cat and a wild mountain lion.

By then, let alone experiments, it would be unknown whether an inch of intact land could be left within a radius of 100 miles.

"We don't have it now, but we can make it." Shewan chuckled, then changed the subject: "But I have something to do recently, so I will start the experiment after I come back."

After a little thought, Qin Ye guessed what Orochimaru was going to do, which was to destroy Konoha.

He didn't say much, but just reached out and put Kirabi back into the Devouring Bag, and said coldly: "Then we'll talk about it when you come back."

"Wait." Orochimaru instinctively reached out to stop him, but his hand was empty. He narrowed his eyes, and two hoarse, dry laughs escaped his throat. "Hey, your ninja tool is quite convenient. Why don't you leave the Eight-Tails with me first?"

"What do you think?" Qin Ye said indifferently.

"Tsk, what a pity." Orochimaru did not force it, but just shrugged his shoulders, then ordered his men to arrange accommodation for Qin Ye, and then turned around and disappeared into the shadows.

For several days thereafter, there was no trace of Orochimaru.

Qin Ye knew that this guy had probably already sneaked into Konoha and was plotting to destroy Konoha.

However, he had no interest in the plan to destroy Konoha and didn't bother to pay attention.

These days, he stayed alone in Orochimaru's lair, concentrating on developing the ability of the Lord of Blades. He didn't care at all whether the outside world was turned upside down or whether the Hidden Village came out in full force to frantically search for his whereabouts, as if those things had nothing to do with him.

Another few days passed.

Not surprisingly, Orochimaru was carried back.

A young man with round-framed glasses and a quiet face appeared at the entrance of the base, his body covered in blood and his arms drooping. Qin Ye was sitting cross-legged beside the mountain wall, playing with the red thunder that exuded a destructive aura in his hands.

As expected, Qin Ye smiled faintly:
"It seems that your plan to destroy Konoha is not going smoothly."

The fleeting aura of destruction made Orochimaru raise his head. His golden snake pupils shrank in the dim light, and a hoarse, sinister voice emanated from his throat:

"Hey, that damn old man Sarutobi. Before he died, he actually left me a great gift!"

At this moment, Orochimaru was in an extremely miserable state. His arms hung limply, and blood kept dripping from the wounds, gathering into a dark red pool on the ground. The skin of his arms was covered with strange black curse marks, which were the traces of the Shikigami Fūjin.

The Third Hokage sealed his ninjutsu at the cost of his life.

Kabuto Yakushi followed beside him. He didn't know the strange man in front of him, but the man who could talk to Lord Orochimaru so casually and frivolously must not be a subordinate who could be abandoned at any time.

He pushed up his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses showing vigilance and worry, and said in a serious tone: "Lord Orochimaru needs to be reincarnated as soon as possible, otherwise..."

"No, not now." The expression on Orochimaru's face was a mixture of pain and greed, appearing particularly distorted, as if he was undergoing a fierce inner struggle: "My new container hasn't arrived yet, there's no rush."

"But your body." Pharmacist Kabuto hesitated to speak, his face full of worry, and it was unclear whether it was sincere or pretended.

"If you can still hold on, take me back to my room." Orochimaru endured the pain and spoke in a commanding tone, with no room for questioning in his voice.

Qin Ye quietly watched the two men walk into the nest. As for the new container mentioned by Orochimaru, it was undoubtedly Uchiha Sasuke.

Orochimaru was obsessed with the Uchiha clan's Sharingan to the point of madness. He first coveted Uchiha Itachi's power, and after being abused by him, he set his sights on his younger brother Uchiha Sasuke.

Since he couldn't get his elder brother, he set his eyes on his younger brother. This shows how much he loves the Uchiha clan.

The next day, Orochimaru, accompanied by Kabuto Yakushi, prepared to find Tsunade Senju, the only medical ninja among the three ninjas, to try to treat his disabled arm.

However, as soon as he reached the gate of the base, he was stopped by Qin Ye.

Orochimaru frowned, the pain in his arm making him very angry: "Why are you stopping me? Get out of the way!"

"Tsunade won't help you. You'll only get a beating. It's better to find a container to reincarnate first." Qin Ye said calmly, "The important thing is, don't waste my time."

Seeing this, Yakushi Kabuto shouted, "How dare you speak to Lord Orochimaru like that? Lord Orochimaru has his own considerations, and he won't allow you to dictate his decisions."

Qin Ye glanced at Yao Shidou lightly, and a strong blood energy suddenly rushed out. The latter's pupils shrank, and before he could react, he was rushed out by the blood energy and hit the wall heavily.

"If it weren't for the fact that you might be of some use later, you would be dead now."

Pharmacist Kabuto got up in a panic, his pupils widened, and he dared not say another word. He was frightened by the opponent's strength. How many people would he have to kill to get that substantial blood energy?

Orochimaru didn't even look at the sent-flying Kabuto Yakushi, and said in a dull tone: "What do you mean?"

Qin Ye walked forward and gently patted Orochimaru's shoulder. He seemed to be speaking from the heart, but in fact, he was not willing to refuse.
"I told you, Tsunade won't help you. You're just wasting time going. I know your new container hasn't arrived yet, and there's a time gap between reincarnations. But as long as you figure out a way to destroy the tailed beasts, I'll provide you with enough holy blood to allow you to master the Six-Vaulted Immortal Thief. With your immortality, why not reincarnate into a new container someday?"

After a moment of silence, Orochimaru knew that he had no right to refuse now.

He was no match for the man in front of him to begin with, and now that his hands were crippled, he didn't dare to engage in conflict with him.

Besides, if you think about it carefully, the proposal made by the other party will not be a disadvantage.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru slowly exhaled, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, turned his head and instructed Kabuto Yakushi behind him:
"Prepare the container."
