"...Lord Ara, this is roughly the current situation."
"Since Lord Orochimaru arrived, the entire Land of Fields has been in a state of near-death. We ninjas who are unwilling to obey have no choice but to abandon our clans and become outlaws."
"Lord Tonbo followed because he was worried about Sasame's safety, and instructed us to continue to remain anonymous and await your arrival..."
Guided by Fuma Hanzaki, Ara headed straight toward the true location of the Sound Village.
Although no information about Shimura Danzo was obtained from the former, knowing that Orochimaru's base of operations meant there was roughly a 50% chance of finding that old fox.
Of course, now there's another reason: is the seven-year wait real or not?
Chapter 447 Oh, long time no see, are you still coming with me?
"Sa, acting clan leader of the Dragonfly Clan, now you should know which choice is the right one."
"Give up on hopeless expectations."
"That guy, the guy who lost the protection of the Uchiha clan, can no longer give you any hope."
"Only Lord Orochimaru can grant us power and lead the Fuma clan back to the center stage of ninja!"
In front of the enormous cave, four figures stood facing each other in pairs.
No, to be more precise, it was a middle-aged man with an extremely ugly body confronting two strangely shaped young men.
The last girl with long orange hair was firmly blocked behind her by the former, as if to protect her or to stop her from moving forward and trying to get closer to her.
"Lord Dragonfly,"
"To let the Wind Demon Clan return to the sunlight, isn't that the promise you made to us in the past? Isn't that the will you have always upheld?"
"You have such an opportunity right now, and you have already witnessed Orochimaru's immense power!"
What are you still hesitating about?
"Such power, such a gift of strength, is absolutely not something a mere underage boy who has lost his protection could achieve!"
Feng Mofaqie stared with a ferocious expression, a cruel smile playing at the corners of his eyes.
Of course, what attracts the most attention is his right arm!
It was a completely exposed steel skeleton, and what extended from the wrist was not a finger, but a huge, sharp, and menacing pair of scissors!
It has obviously been modified through some kind of experiment.
'Snap, snap!'
Meanwhile, he arrogantly manipulated his arm, a crisp sound emanating from the scissors.
It seems to be a declaration of its own power!
"Or perhaps, the will within you has changed, and you've become a pathetic creature waiting for the Uchiha clan to give you handouts again?"
"Say something, you Fuma Dragonfly!"
After a brief pause, Faqie's gaze returned to the middle-aged man in front of him, who was ugly, hunched over, and resembled some kind of reptilian creature.
The reverence that followed the name vanished completely at this moment.
However, what he received was still silence, and those calm, empty eyes.
He had seen that look, that silent response, far too many times, and it only made him angrier.
But in an instant, a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Besides, in the past seven years, has your faith and the hope you've placed in ever come true?"
"Without the protection of his family, he's nothing but a dog!"
"Goodness, a dog that obeys Konoha's orders with its hands at its sides!!"
"That guy will never escape the largest prison in the Land of Fire!!"
The voice of the demon was filled with madness, and the expression on his face became extremely distorted.
And after he finished speaking, he desperately wanted to find even the slightest hint of emotion or regret on the other person's face, in their lifeless eyes.
However, it was yet another failure.
Just like the previous three or four years.
This reaction caused his drooping right arm to clang, and the reflected metallic glint was dazzling.
"I know."
This time, however, the Wind Demon's Cut received a response.
It was a hoarse, low voice, like that of a withered old woman.
"you know?"
Such a response prompted the grotesquely modified man to raise his voice slightly.
"Since you know this, why don't you change your mind? Why don't you lead the rest of your clan to pledge allegiance to Lord Orochimaru?!"
The Wind Demon roared, his ferocity turning into genuine bewilderment.
Although they currently hold different positions and belong to different groups, their inner will is similar: to make the Wind Demon Clan stronger and more prosperous, so that they can once again stand on the stage of history!
"Because that's the difference between Orochimaru and that person."
Under the former's furious questioning, the Wind Demon Dragonfly calmly answered.
Five years ago, after hearing about the upheaval of the Uchiha clan, she truly understood what that night meant.
The reason he refused to let me follow was not because of my weakness, nor because my current body was too ugly, but purely because the family I knew clearly was facing a dangerous situation.
Therefore, that person did not want to involve others in this matter.
Such behavior is completely different from Orochimaru's wanton experimentation on the bodies and lives of his clan members!
Moreover, as a ninja, once you choose to keep your promise, it's for life.
She firmly believed that his downfall was only temporary.
The prison of Konoha could not ultimately confine his great fame, just as an ugly shell is merely the forbearance of a young butterfly before it spreads its wings!
"You should know how many of your comrades who chose to pledge allegiance to Orochimaru over the years are still around, and what kind of people you have become now."
"Besides, four years have passed since you left. Has Lord Orochimaru allowed the Fuma clan to stand openly on the stage of the ninja world again?"
The cold words are a supplement to the Wind Demon Dragonfly's determination to strengthen its own will.
Of the clansmen who went to the Sound Village together, only three survived, which was the thing she could not accept the most.
"In the end, Lord Orochimaru is nothing more than using you to achieve his own ambitions!"
His hoarse voice was filled with heartache.
Originally, due to the reckless war decades ago, the Fuma clan had already fallen into a desperate situation of becoming bandits. Now, under Orochimaru's instigation, the clan has been split in two once again, and has even reached the point of being forgotten in the course of history!
"Shut up! You are not allowed to slander Lord Orochimaru!"
These words instantly ignited the hostility in Feng Mo's heart:
"Sacrifice is necessary, and besides, it is nothing at all for the sake of the Wind Demon Clan to be great again."
"If you don't understand Lord Orochimaru's power, then stop spouting nonsense!"
"Dragonfly, I'm giving you one last chance to choose: will you give up that illusory wait and lead the rest of your clan to join and pledge allegiance to Lord Orochimaru? Or will you insist on becoming a victim of my blade and regretting your choice in the bottomless underworld?"
The wind demon questioned sharply, and at that moment the huge scissor-like ninja tool was raised and pointed at the acting clan leader whom he had personally elected.
"Lord Orochimaru has already shown you enough mercy!"
He added in a cold voice, and the glint in his eyes became exceptionally dangerous.
"and many more."
However, at this critical moment, the bald man standing next to Feng Mo suddenly stepped in and placed his hand on the former's steel arm.
It seemed as if they wanted to prevent such a tense standoff.
"What do you mean, Earth Spider!"
"Do you intend to betray Lord Orochimaru?"
Such behavior immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of his companions, and the cold glares they gave him were the most direct evidence of this.
However, the Wind Demon Spider ignored this targeting and instead coldly addressed its former kin before it:
“Dragonfly, Faqie is right, this is your last chance.”
"While Lord Orochimaru is away for the time being, you either choose to submit or leave the Land of Fields with the rest of your clan."
"Forever abandon the desire to revive the Fuuma clan."
"Of course, under Lord Orochimaru's leadership, we will surely achieve this goal."
Whatever the reason, he did not want to fight with his own kind.
After all, they were all companions who once helped the Wind Demon Clan to revive!
However, their patience has its limits. If they are constantly hindered from moving forward, and if Orochimaru, who gave them such great power, is constantly denied, then they will be in trouble.
Therefore, using the other party's blood to forge loyalty to the latter is a last resort.
Bloodshed is inevitable on the road to rejuvenation!
"Sasame, if you want to see your brother Arashi, then join us."
"Lan's talent is not only among the best in our clan, but even Lord Orochimaru praises him highly. Now he serves by that lord's side, and his future is immeasurable!"
So, do you want to come along?
"Only in this way can you see your Brother Lan every day."
The Wind Demon Spider extended an olive branch.
Of course, everything he said was the truth.
After all, the former is currently the only member of the clan who truly controls the family's secret techniques!
That's a secret technique unique to the Wind Demon Clan; even a dragonfly shouldn't be able to use it casually!
All of this was entirely due to the power bestowed upon them by Lord Orochimaru.
