"Sigh...it's not difficult at all."

With a sigh, Han Guang strode forward and began to delve deeper into the chicken layer.

The land of thunder.

Mountain cemetery.

Madara Uchiha and Danzo stood outside the cave.

The two stared at a small snake that had appeared in the cemetery and fell silent.

"Danzo, don't you have an explanation for me?" Madara broke the silence, speaking softly.

"I have nothing to explain." Danzo shook his head.

"Oh? How did this snake get here? Did it get lost?" Ban's eyes were unfriendly.

Although Madara left the Land of Grass, he was still able to obtain information about the ninja world through Black Zetsu.

This method of using snakes to gather intelligence undoubtedly belongs to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru had a very close relationship with Danzo.

Madara Uchiha was well aware of this.

Faced with Madara's questioning, Danzo did not respond. Instead, he walked up to the little snake and took out a scroll from his pocket.

Zizzi~~

The little snake opened its mouth and swallowed the scroll.

next moment.

The little snake burrowed into the ground and disappeared without a trace.

"Danzo, do you think I'm blind? You're so openly passing on information, it seems you're going to betray me." Madara's tone turned cold.

"Orochimaru is coming to join you!" Danzo turned his head and said something astonishing.

"Oh?"

Ban was stunned.

He's short-handed right now. If what Danzo said is true, then it's not necessarily a bad thing.

The only problem is controlling Orochimaru.

Chapter 198 The gate has infiltrated Madara's group! Madara: I'll take you to see the 100,000 White Zetsu!

In a desolate mountain cave.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru hid in the cave, avoiding the scorching sun.

"Orochimaru, how many snakes have you released already? Still no news?" Hiruzen Sarutobi was getting impatient.

His people are still in the Moon Kingdom. If they waste too much time there, there might be some unrest among them.

"Teacher, you're too impatient," Orochimaru replied casually, leaning against the stone wall.

Finding traces of Ban is no easy task. It might take a year, let alone a day, to find him.

Orochimaru's main tactic is to expose his own whereabouts.

If Danzo discovers his snake, Danzo will definitely contact him.

Zizzi~~

Suddenly, a small snake emerged from the ground.

"Ok?"

Upon seeing the snake's bulging body, Orochimaru's expression shifted, and he quickly grabbed it.

Then, he pulled a scroll out of the snake's mouth.

Hiruzen Sarutobi also came over to watch.

"This is Danzo's handwriting!" Hiruzen Sarutobi recognized the words on the scroll at a glance.

Mountain Cemetery

There are only four characters on the scroll.

These four simple words brought them immense joy.

"So it was in the mountain graveyard." Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly realized.

"Teacher, do you know that location?" Orochimaru asked.

"Of course I do."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

Then, he recounted a story from the past.

"Mountain Cemetery, this is a death zone created by the former chieftain of the Aburame clan using a secret technique of poisonous insects."

"Oh? The land of death?" Orochimaru asked with a questioning look.

"That's right! Many ninjas were poisoned there, and even the surrounding vegetation withered and became barren. That's why it's called the Mountain Graveyard."

Upon hearing this story, Orochimaru suddenly understood.

No wonder Ban chose such a place; it turns out to be a barren land.

"Then let's set off." Orochimaru stood up.

"Yes, let's reunite with Danzo as soon as possible!" Hiruzen Sarutobi also walked out of the cave.

Under the scorching sun.

The two headed towards the mountain cemetery.

along the way.

Upon reaching a flat area, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly stopped.

"Huh? Teacher, why did you stop?" Orochimaru turned his head and asked.

"Don't you find it strange?" Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly, his tone carrying a hint of wariness.

"What's strange?" Orochimaru asked, puzzled.

Hiruzen Sarutobi pointed around, indicating something.

"Look around, it's completely flat, there's nothing there! But out of the ordinary, there's a rock right in front of us!"

Hearing the teacher's question, Orochimaru shook his head.

"Teacher, did the cold light damage your brain?"

"What did you say?" Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Orochimaru, his tone unfriendly.

"Can't you see? It really is just a rock."

As he spoke, Orochimaru casually tossed out a kunai, which struck a rock with a 'clang'.

"See? It's just an ordinary stone."

“I was overthinking it.” Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.

The two continued on their journey.

The figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

Click!

At that moment, the rock cracked open, revealing the silhouette of a toad.

"As expected of the third generation, his alertness is quite good." The toad muttered to himself, none other than Namikaze Kazuma.

He watched their backs and guessed that they had most likely found Madara's location.

Zizzi~~

The frog at the door wriggled and burrowed into the ground, hanging behind to begin its surveillance.

I've been tracking it all morning.

When Namikaze emerged from the ground, he saw Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi enter a graveyard.

"That is?"

Suddenly, his frog-like eyes narrowed.

"Danzo!"

He saw Danzo and ushered Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi into a cave.

"This is where they're hiding, but why can't I see Madara?" Namikaze muttered to himself.

"what are you?"
