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

Could it be those high-speed movement capabilities?

Admission benefits...

Free shallow-sized weapon...

What? Asauchi can transform into Zanpakuto? Those legendary ninja swords?!

hiss--

Orochimaru's pupils shrank again and again; he almost couldn't resist going to the school on his own.

The teaching conditions here are amazing!

Swordsmanship, taijutsu, and also hand seal ninjutsu and body flickering technique!

You can even get a magical ninja sword for free if you enroll!

This is much better than the conditions at the Konoha Ninja Academy!

If it weren't for my talent being recognized by Sarutobi-sensei, I might not have learned a decent ninjutsu by the time I graduated!

The difference is like night and day!

And that knife called Asauchi was actually given away for free!

This kind of ninja sword, which is priceless and hard to find in the ninja world, was given away for free by the Land of Whirlpools!

No wonder everyone in the Land of Whirlpools has one!

This made him even consider enrolling in school.

As for the later courses targeting the void, Orochimaru also found them quite reasonable.

Didn't the Land of Whirlpools say that they are mortal enemies with Hollows?

Look, even the school curriculum includes targeted lessons on how to better kill the virtual enemy.

This proves that the Land of Whirlpools wasn't lying!

Upon witnessing the vast educational resources of the Land of Whirlpools, Orochimaru showed a look of envy for the first time.

After he calmed down, they continued on their way.

As they passed a distinctive building, Nemu pointed out, "That's the barracks for the Third Division..."

Orochimaru slightly turned his head and looked over.

When Orochimaru saw a short brown-haired boy with two prominent rosy cheeks in the Third Division barracks, he froze on the spot.

"A rope, a rope tree?!"

………………

Please give me flowers! Please give me ratings!

Chapter 54 Chihiro Uzumaki: Orochimaru, come and serve in my Land of Whirlpools!

"A rope, a rope tree?!"

Orochimaru's pupils dilated as he stared intently at the figure inside the building known as the Third Division's barracks.

Short brown hair, with two prominent patches of red blush.

This... who else could it be but Rope Tree?

As Tsunade's fellow student and Nawaki's teacher, he believed he could never fail to recognize Nawaki.

but……

Wasn't Rope Tree already dead?

Right before his eyes, he witnessed Rope Tree step into a trap set by the enemy and be blown to death by countless explosive tags!

that……

Who is this person in front of me?

Is it really a rope tree?

He then remembered that Tsunade had heard Nawaki's voice before and even wanted to come to the Land of Whirlpools. Only then did he realize that Tsunade really hadn't misheard!

The rope tree is really here!

Suddenly, he was startled.

He recalled the Rukongai that the woman next to him had introduced him to before.

Before meeting Nawaki, Orochimaru thought she was definitely trying to fool him.

But now...

Orochimaru's heart sank. A ghost's dwelling place...

This is actually true!

In other words, those residents we saw earlier were also ghosts?!

Does this mean that people from the ninja world come to the Rukongai in the Land of Whirlpools after they die?

Orochimaru took a deep breath and asked, "Vice-Captain Kurotsuchi, do you know the name of that boy over there?"

Nemure looked over and hesitated, "It should be... Senju... Nawaki?"

really!

Orochimaru was startled.

His whole body suddenly trembled slightly with excitement.

Rope Tree is not dead!

No, Nawaki is dead, but he has begun a new life in the Land of Whirlpools as a ghost! 〇·∏㈤∝≡

But what excited him most was that he seemed to have glimpsed a secret of the Land of Whirlpools!

Although Nawaki is currently in ghost form, it is clear that he has become a member of the Third Division.

In other words, the souls here all possess the qualifications to become the Grim Reaper!

So, could it be that all the Shinigami in the Land of Whirlpools are actually made up of dead people?

The Land of Whirlpools gives new life to the dead and bestows upon them new power, enabling them to fight for the Land of Whirlpools!

In this way, it makes perfect sense that the Land of Whirlpools suddenly rose to power after being destroyed!

Because they didn't really die!

Orochimaru glanced deeply at Nawaki, who was talking to his sword, and then followed Nemu's footsteps.

He didn't rush to talk to Rope Tree.

This is, after all, the territory of the Land of Whirlpools. Without the master's permission, he would not do anything out of line.

Moreover, he came here as an envoy of Konoha to discuss the matter of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Do not do anything unnecessary, lest you ruin Konoha's important affairs. (143)

But the discovery of the Land of Whirlpools still made his heart race.

He even wondered if, since people become ghosts after they die and come to the Land of Whirlpools, he should try to commit suicide when he returns to Konoha.

He was genuinely curious about the differences between himself in his soul form and his current state.

And who knows, you might even get into the Shinigami Academy to learn those unspelled ninjutsu and get one of those magical swords.

But in the end, it was just a thought.

What puzzled him was why Nawaki, who clearly hadn't actually died, hadn't returned to Konoha.

He didn't even go back to see Tsunade?

I kept this question to myself.

Since Rope Tree is living well here, there's no need to dwell on these things.

However, if I were to tell Tsunade about Nawaki after returning to Konoha, she would probably run to the Land of Whirlpools like a madwoman.

But that's none of his business.

Soon, under Nie Yinmeng's leadership...

The two arrived at a high-tech gate.

Nemuro explained, "This is the Technology Development Bureau, a place used to develop Shinigami skills, research souls and Hollows, and develop various inventions."

Orochimaru's eyes lit up. Wasn't this the Konoha Research Institute?

Ever since witnessing the death of Kyoukazuki, Orochimaru has been determined to research techniques for prolonging life.

The soul became one of the research directions he considered.

However, it has been tied down by the war in the Land of Rain and has not yet taken any action.

Unexpectedly, the Land of Whirlpools had already begun its research on the soul before him.

Moreover, the Land of Whirlpools is a place where souls can remain and become Shinigami (death gods).
