Rebuild the Land of Whirlpools, start with a massive army of the Thirteen Guardian Soldiers.

A woman dressed in a short skirt and thick wooden clogs walked over, her Shiha-style attire resembling a kimono.

She gently opened her mouth and said, "Neneko Kurotsuchi, the vice captain of the 12th Division of the Land of Whirlpools, please give me your guidance."

Since the goal is to help Orochimaru understand the Technology Development Bureau, the deputy captain of the Technology Development Bureau is the most suitable person.

Squad 12, Research and Development Bureau?

A look of surprise flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.

The Land of Whirlpools actually has a research institute?

Although surprised, Orochimaru's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled and said, "Konoha envoy, Orochimaru."

Nie Yinmeng nodded and said, "Next, I will take you to see Lord Spirit King."

Orochimaru nodded slightly, then followed behind Nemu as they walked into the Land of Whirlpools.

Soon, they left the border and arrived at the location of Rukongai.

Orochimaru's golden eyes flickered slightly.

Building this complex is no small undertaking.

However, the environment here seems somewhat desolate, which is not quite in line with the status of the Land of Whirlpools as one of the five great nations.

Moreover, the people here seem a bit off, appearing somewhat dazed and confused.

Is it an illusion?

However, the closer he got to the center of the Land of Whirlpools, the more favorable the environment became.

Moreover, the public is becoming increasingly energetic.

At this moment, Nemure introduced him, "This is Rukongai, it is..."

"The dwelling place of ghosts."

………………

Please give me flowers! Please give me ratings!

Chapter 53 Orochimaru: Are you serious?

A ghost's dwelling place!

Orochimaru was startled, then looked at Nemuro seriously, as if to see if she was joking.

But clearly, Nemure was very serious.

Orochimaru took a deep breath. Could it really be true?

However, he always harbored some doubts.

Are you kidding me? A ghost's dwelling place?

　⒐￡◎〇寺ba俬贰★∷jiu零5搜〗°索々〗： Could these living people in front of me be ghosts?

Moreover, once one becomes a ghost, how could one possibly remain in the world?

Although I had some doubts and questions in my mind.

Orochimaru did not voice any questions, but listened attentively with a calm expression.

After all, it's someone else's territory, so even if they're trying to fool him, he has to keep smiling.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn't be able to go back.

Nie Yinmeng didn't care whether he believed her or not, after all, she had only received orders from Lord Ling Wang to temporarily act as a tour guide.

All you need to do is get her job done.

She continued, "When people in the ninja world die, their complete souls come to settle in Rukongai."

"They were assigned to eighty regions in the east, west, south, and north according to the order of their deaths."

Eighty regions in the east, west, south, and north?

Aren't there too many buildings in the Land of Whirlpools?

Is there really that many people?

Orochimaru harbored doubts.

Although the so-called ghost's dwelling made him feel that the woman was joking with him.

But the information about these buildings should be true.

After all, Orochimaru had personally witnessed so many buildings along the way.

Nie Yinmeng continued, "The first district of Rukongai has ideal security and living environment, and abundant food. The districts with lower numbers have worse living conditions."

It turned out to be the case.

Orochimaru nodded slightly.

No wonder the outermost buildings look so desolate, while the further you go in, the more prosperous they become.

Orochimaru was very interested in the information about these buildings.

As for the talk of ghosts and the like, he just listened to it as a story.

Soon, Nemu brought Orochimaru to the gates of Seireitei.

Because the Land of Fire is located to the west of the Land of Whirlpools.

Therefore, Orochimaru came from the west side of the Land of Whirlpools, so what he saw was the west gate of the Seireitei.

Orochimaru looked up at the towering wall, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.

When did the Land of Whirlpools have such magnificent architecture?!

Moreover, the wall was arc-shaped, and with his head slightly tilted, he couldn't even see the end of the wall's extension!

Even the gate in front of us is so imposing!

At this moment, Nemu, acting as her tour guide, introduced, "After passing through Rukongai, you'll reach Seireitei."

Seireitei...

Orochimaru's golden pupils flickered slightly as he recalled the information about the Land of Whirlpools recorded in Konoha's intelligence department.

Is that why those Shinigami call themselves the Gotei 13...?

So what they were protecting was this very Seireitei...

Orochimaru's eyes flickered slightly, his understanding of the Land of Whirlpools had deepened.

Nie Yinmeng continued, "The Seireitei has four main gates: west, east, north, and south. We are currently at the west gate, the white path."

Nemu greeted the gatekeeper, Jidanbo Ikkakusaka, and then led Orochimaru inside. The moment they entered Seireitei, Orochimaru froze on the spot!

The streets stretched endlessly, their buildings mostly simple in appearance, with light-colored walls and tiled roofs.

The land boasts a beautiful environment with vast grasslands and gently rolling mountains. What impressed him most, however, were the towering buildings! They were several times taller than the Hokage Building in Konoha! Was the Land of Whirlpools really rebuilt in the last six months? The magnificent architecture, the ancient atmosphere, were imbued with a profound sense of history.

Every single one of them speaks of its long history! But then they say the Land of Whirlpools was only rebuilt in half a year? Even the First Hokage, who possessed Wood Release, couldn't have built such an outrageous infrastructure!

The Land of Whirlpools is indeed extraordinary!

Orochimaru composed himself and gave Nemuro, who was waiting for him to come to his senses, an apologetic smile.

Nemu glanced at him and then led him further inside, explaining, "Seireitei is where the Shinigami (death gods) operate, and the barracks of the 13th Division are all gathered here."

On their way, they passed a place that resembled a school. Nemu said, "That's the Shinigami Academy over there, the place used to train Shinigami..."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the True Central Spiritual Arts Academy.

Training Death Gods...

So, does that mean I'm similar to the ninja academy founded by the Second Hokage...?

His eyes flashed as he noticed an admissions brochure posted at the entrance of the True Central Spiritual Arts Academy.

Course content includes: swordsmanship, fist fighting, demonic arts, and movement (swordsmanship, hand-to-hand combat, demonic arts, and Shunpo), discussions on various methods of Zanpakuto Shikai, the characteristics of Hollows, and how to properly purify Hollows...

Enrollment Perk: A light sword (which can be trained and transformed into a Zanpakuto).

……

Slash Fist Demon Walk?

"Slash" refers to swordsmanship, while "fist"? A mere free-for-all?

It sounds like physical martial arts.

Ghost Path...

Could this be the hand seal ninjutsu recorded in the intelligence?

hiss--

The students at their school actually teach the Unbound Ninja Technique?

Zanpakuto...

It must be those amazing ninja swords...

Move, or use Instant Step?
