He was in Konoha, and his domineering aura was overflowing.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru was also searching for Wu Xuexian Yuge. When he finally found him, a tense and exciting tournament was unfolding right before his eyes.

"Go, Kakashi! Use the dump truck attack!"

Kakashi, with his back to the Fifty Strings, subtly awakened his Byakugan.

It's beneath a ninja village's dignity for a child to headbutt someone like that, to be a future ninja.

And why should I listen to you and fight like a summoning beast?!

He had the complete opposite attitude towards Matt Ke, who was a few months younger than him.

"Hey! Kakashi, let's have a youthful showdown!"

It's clear that Mitek, who hasn't experienced the will of the Leaf Village's overlord, has been burning with youthful brilliance since childhood.

"Wu Shixian-kun has such refined tastes."

Isogen stared intently at the 'Pokémon battle' on the field, muttering incessantly, "Orochimaru-san, when are you going to get a Pokémon?"

"...You've found the results of your investigation." Orochimaru stated his purpose directly, his eyes filled with curiosity.

"The people are indeed in the Land of Grass, but how did you know that, Myogen-kun?"

"Never mind that, get ready to work."

Chapter 81 White Zetsu is a Stingy Person

The sun shines brightly on a clear day.

The light was cut into smaller beams by the layers of leaves, making the whole forest look like a giant flower shower.

Brush brush.

The four people ran or floated through the forest, occasionally disrupting the path of sunlight that was casting its nourishing rays upon the forest.

"Why did you suddenly decide to go to Kusagakure Village?" Sakumo Hatake asked, swinging his legs in confusion.

"Isn't it good that you can earn some extra money?"

"Good, good, very good." Sakumo Hatake clapped his hands emotionlessly.

Yes, but that is true.

In the past two years, the regular benefits that Wu Shixian has given out have made his family wealth much more substantial. People who follow Wu Shixian, regardless of age or gender, have received every penny they are entitled to, and some have even received far more than their wages.

Although you might be subjected to the will of tyranny from time to time, there are benefits to be had!

Thus, although the Fifty Strings would periodically release the will of domination on a large scale.

For example, every now and then, he'll suddenly have a brain fart and unleash his Conqueror's Haki, causing almost everyone within a radius of several kilometers—whether they're taking off, glued together, or conjoined twins—to fall to the ground and fall asleep.

This has resulted in the Naruto Building being frequently filled with complaints from villagers.

But for those who follow the Gojūgen, it means: "Sir, whip us hard!"

Even many ninjas who needed to support their families took the initiative to cultivate a good relationship with Isogen.

When you reach middle age, starting a family involves huge expenses. If you encounter a leader who pays you for doing the work, that's not a leader, that's a god!

Sometimes he wondered what they would choose if Ishmael's orders and the Hokage's commands conflicted.

After all, the Hokage... well, he does give rewards, but verbal encouragement and material rewards are only about half and half.

Thinking of this, he caught a glimpse of Orochimaru out of the corner of his eye.

In the past two years, Orochimaru has kept a low profile, occasionally going out on missions at the Hokage's request, thus solidifying the prestige of the Sannin title.

But he knew that Orochimaru and Isogen had a very good relationship.

Money is a key to maintaining relationships, and Orochimaru, being a researcher, must have obtained a considerable amount of funds from Igarashi.

Another piece of evidence of their good relationship is now.

Konoha's White Fang, the Cold-blooded Orochimaru.

Two Kage-level powerhouses are protecting a young genius whose strength is close to or no weaker than theirs, and a girl from the Hyuga main family.

This kind of treatment was something only Konoha could offer during its heyday.

Their target, however, is just a small ninja village.

It's like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

luxury.

"Let's take a break."

The group of four stopped in front of a waterfall to rest.

With their speed, they could reach the Land of Grass in a day and have it all under control. However, the Land of Earth is just beyond the Land of Grass. Onoki suffered a setback a couple of years ago, which slowed down the village's recovery. It's possible that the petty old dwarf has arranged for people to stake out the border.

Sakumo Hatake habitually seizes opportunities to rest and regroup. This is similar to Orochimaru's approach.

A ninja's rest usually involves eating soldier rations, drinking saliva, and sitting in place for a while.

But Gojūgen is from Class 2, and Hinata Mizuki is no ordinary person either.

The sealed scroll was unfurled.

Peng.

Sizzling beef jerky, fresh milk, fried chicken nuggets, beef patties... and even wheat juice for adults.

The two adults reached out their hands without any hesitation.

They were all experienced ninjas who knew that overly extravagant supplies would attract attention, but times had changed!

Chewing on beef jerky, they looked at Igarashi and exclaimed, "The reconnaissance ninjutsu developed by Igarashi-kun is truly powerful!"

As Fifty Strings' strength increases, the range of Wind's Invisibility also increases. Within ten kilometers, no goods, buildings, or existing objects can escape his eyes, and he can also roughly sense objects beyond ten kilometers.

The reason it's only a rough perception is because the fifty strings sculpt objects within a ten-kilometer radius with such exquisite detail.

It was clearly geared towards printing banknotes.

"Speaking of which, Isogen-kun really takes Mizuki with him wherever he goes," Orochimaru chuckled as he drank his milk.

"Ah, I promised her I'd take her everywhere I went, and I kept my word. That's part of the will of the overlord," Isogen said casually.

Orochimaru smiled and said nothing.

In terms of pure strength, if she were to encounter someone of equal strength who is not powerful, then Hyuga Mizuki's existence would be a burden, especially since she is from the main family.

But looking at the ninja world as a whole, if someone can kill Hyuga Mizuki from their current situation, they can most likely kill one of them as well.

Moreover, he knew that although Hyuga Mizuki appeared gentle and weak, that was only on the surface, or rather, that was the appearance she would show in front of Isogen.

Under Isogen's tutelage, Hinata Mizuki had long since become her right-hand woman. Occasionally, when someone tried to rebel against Isogen, they would rise up, but before they could even reach Isogen, Hinata Mizuki, who had arrived on the scene, would take them all away.

The teaching methods are quite hardcore; they've turned a delicate girl into a Valkyrie.

The Fifty Strings brain automatically entered the managed mode, and opened its mouth automatically when Hinata Mizuki brought the food to her mouth.

Suddenly, his brain loaded a different model.

The wind gradually outlined the shape of the object. It was humanoid, slowly emerging from the ground. It had a standard male physique, neither as thin as an ordinary civilian nor too exaggerated. It possessed chakra, but it wasn't strong, at the Chunin level.

As the perception gradually lengthened, the information about the humanoid object was gradually revealed, revealing a life force fluctuation that surpassed the level of a Chunin.

Distance: 18 kilometers.

His eyes lit up.

Is this reaction from the White Zetsu?!

Heaven has mercy on him. In the past two years, besides borrowing money from nobles to spend, he has also tried to catch a White Zetsu to dissect.

You can forget about seeing a White Zetsu in Konoha.

Grandma Mito's perception would allow her to elbow each White Zetsu equally.

This forced Wuxian to go out to try and capture the White Zetsu.

I never expected that I couldn't find it before, but now I've run into it while going out for other things.

As the old saying goes, "You may plant flowers with care, but they may not bloom; you may plant willows without intention, and they may grow into shady trees."

"It's a pity it's a bit far. Honestly, can't it just come right up to me so I can dissect it?" Ishigami muttered, not very satisfied with White Zetsu's service.

All I wanted was your life, and you won't even give me that? You stingy bastard!

"What a dangerous perception ability, to perceive the wind."

Eighteen miles away, under a huge rock, a white ape peeked out, gazing in the direction the four had passed not long ago.

The player who uses wind for all-around perception is still too overpowered. We request that the Ninja World Online administrator, the Sage of Six Paths, ban their account.

After noting down the signal from the White Zetsu and taking a short break to adjust their condition, Isogen led the team into the Land of Grass, heading straight for Kusagakure Village.

"What's next? Should we notify the people of Kusagakure Village to come out and receive us?" Hatake Sakumo asked.

Even now, they still have only a vague understanding of the mission.

Orochimaru was well-prepared, and Hyuga Mizuki... she was ready.

Isogen tilted his head, looking at Hatake Sakumo with a strange expression: "Do I have to tell them I'm coming to their village? Just blast them out of the main gate!"

"..."

"As expected of Lord Wuzhi," Orochimaru praised.

Chapter 82 Long Live God

The main gate of Caoyin Village.

The small ninja village also values ​​vigilance, and naturally, they wouldn't ignore the two ninjas wearing Konoha headbands that appeared at the gate.

"Halt, Konoha ninja. State your purpose." The Kusagakure ninja guarding the gate feigned seriousness.

Orochimaru and Sakumo Hatake remained unmoved, both turning their gazes toward Isogen.

Wu Shixian didn't know much about Kusakabane Village. When he went out for a stroll, whether it was blasting mountains or fishing, he wouldn't go all the way to Kusakabane Village.

Not only is it remote, but the place is also small and underdeveloped.

The cost of gas isn't even enough for one trip.

As for the Box of Elysium, which many protagonists in novels use as a power bank or a disposable chakra enhancer, he had no interest in it.

It would be better to practice the will of a hegemon.

For most people, improving their strength involves choosing one direction from the Yin-Yang Escape attributes and moving forward. Once they reach the limit of a certain direction, they either continue to refine their skills or open up another path.

He's different; he's playing both sides.

At this moment, Orochimaru and his companion became curious about how they would handle the situation with Ichigen.

He didn't hold back at all, pointing with his little hand and grinning.

"Go! Use ultrasonic cutting mode!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hyuga Mizuki's gentle and serene gaze suddenly turned fierce, as if a gust of wind had risen.

Whoosh!

Countless blue afterimages rained down on the Kusagakure ninja.

Sakumo Hatake's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Such precise chakra control, such a fast blade!"
