On a small boat at the border of the Water Kingdom.

Of the entire Minazuki clan, only three members survived to escape from Kirigakure.

Except for a few clansmen who were on missions outside, all the rest of the clansmen died in the Mizukage's siege.

Minazuki Yuki's face was deathly pale, and she sat limply at the bow of the boat.

Two companions behind him were rowing the boat vigorously; the group had just left the dock.

This small boat was stolen from the dock by Minazuki Kagami.

They made no delays along the way, choosing to depart from a small town farthest from the mainland. It would take them at least three days to travel by sea before they could reach the Land of Whirlpools.

Then, they transferred from the Land of Whirlpools to the border of the Land of Fire.

Once we get there, there will be far fewer pursuers from Kirigakure.

"Xue, you really don't know that person? Then why would he risk his life to save you? Didn't he leave behind some backup plan?"

Another member of the Minazuki clan, named Minazuki Yuichi, asked with a weary expression.

"I really don't know him."

Minazuki Yuki shook her head.

She glanced at Mizuki Kagami beside her and, seeing that he hadn't exposed her, felt a little more at ease.

That elder was probably a friend of my father.

Yuichi Minazuki is a Chunin, and his strength is greater than the two of them combined.

They dared not put up any resistance.

"Where should we go now?"

Yuichi Minazuki asked again, as he had no clue what to do. He had been running around with the two of them and thought that the mysterious clansman had some special arrangements.

I never imagined that after so many days on the road, I would be basically at sea every day, only able to go ashore at night to get some food.

Mizuki Kagami recalled the dying words of that mysterious clansman.

"Go find Orochimaru."

Minazuki Kagami made a suggestion, and Minazuki Yuichi frowned.

"Orochimaru? That legendary Sannin of Konoha...didn't he already defect?"

"Can you find him?!"

Xue hardened her gaze, touched a mark on her wrist, and said, "I know where he is."

That was left to her by that mysterious clansman before the extermination of her clan.

It subtly points to a certain direction.

-----------------

The outskirts of Misty Village.

Inside a hidden cave.

Uchiha Ao's eyes snapped open as he saw Gin Sen devouring several rats.

Sensing movement, it raised its head, nibbling on a mouse, and muttered, "Ah, boss, you're back! Want a bite? There are so many field mice here! I can't eat them all."

"You eat it."

Qing glanced at it, stood up, stretched vigorously, and his joints cracked.

He routinely activated his three-tomoe Sharingan to assess his physical condition.

Compared to before I left, I have lost some muscle fat.

However, the presence of intercolumnar cells means the impact is not significant.

His out-of-body experience will not last more than three days, during which time the effects on the body will be minimized.

This is experience he gained through a long period of trial and error.

If the time exceeds three days, you need to prepare a sufficient amount of nutrient solution for your body to ensure that the interstitial cells can be continuously replenished with nutrients and energy.

This helps maintain the normal life activities of the body's cells.

"Orochimaru summoned me here, not only because of the so-called Ice Release of the Mizuki clan, but also because of the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) technique."

"I still need to find some time to visit the Kaguya clan."

"Rumor has it that their bloodline limit also originated from the Sage of Six Paths or Kaguya Otsutsuki. I wonder if this is true?"

Qing murmured.

He took an apple out of his pocket, wiped it briefly with his sleeve, and then put it in his mouth.

Having frequently endured harsh weather outdoors, he finally understood why Orochimaru liked to eat apples.

Because it is easy to carry, contains nutrients, can replenish moisture, and can be stored for a relatively long time under the same conditions.

It won't spoil for at least three to five days.

"Yinqian, you should go back. I'm going to the Kaguya clan."

"Then we returned to Ryuchi Cave."

"Go back and ask the immortal where the child he mentioned is. You can take care of him for a while, and I will take him back myself when I return."

He gave the instructions to Yin Qian.

I already have three children, and if I add another child with the bloodline of the Kaguya clan...

Suddenly I felt like I was the director of an orphanage.

She's become Orochimaru's babysitter!?

"Ah... okay, boss!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Qian froze. He had finally managed to get out of town, but he hadn't expected to have to go back so soon.

There are so many delicious things to eat outside.

"Boss, remember to take me with you next time you go out..."

Yin Qian swallowed the field mouse in his mouth, curled up, and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a wisp of white mist and disappeared.

Ao cleaned up the surroundings, removing any traces of human presence, and then quietly made his way to the Kaguya clan.

The Kaguya clan originally lived in the central area of ​​Kirigakure.

However, their family later became too warlike, frequently causing violent incidents in the village, which led to them being largely ostracized by the villagers.

During the reign of the second Mizukage, they were forcibly relocated to an open space not far from the village.

It formed an independent settlement.

Without the village's interference, this place has become an independent kingdom of the Kaguya clan.

During his time in Kirigakure, Ao had already thoroughly familiarized himself with the environment there.

This time, he doesn't intend to hide and use the immortal soul to possess another's body.

Instead, they infiltrated the Kaguya family through infiltration.

Because this ninja clan, whose minds are only focused on battle, has a worse reputation in the ninja world than the Uchiha.

A complete brainless brute.

Resistance to illusions is virtually zero.

The reason their ninja clan has survived to this day is entirely due to the superior birthplace they chose.

It has no natural enemies.

If this were on the mainland, any ninja clan skilled in illusion techniques could easily have swallowed them up.

Even the strongest members of the Corpse Bone Clan don't have a chance to react in front of a master of illusion.

Ao's skill in illusion techniques was average, but as his soul body grew stronger, his training in this area gradually revealed the talent of the Uchiha clan.

Orochimaru's genjutsu techniques were basically already at a high level of perfection.

They easily infiltrated the Kaguya clan.

There were no obstacles.

All the Kaguya clan members who saw or discovered him fell to the ground silently.

He didn't linger around the Kaguya family's outskirts, but went straight to the Kaguya family's dungeon.

A very special person is being held here.

Kimimaro.

A member of the Kaguya clan who awakened the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) at birth, and is known as the strongest Shikotsumyaku in history.

When he was born, he unconsciously unleashed his Corpse Bone Pulse, killing his mother. His father, out of jealousy, threw him into the family prison.

They originally intended to consider him an ominous sign and execute him directly.

However, Chief Kaguya stopped him and imprisoned him in the dungeon from the age of two months, where he could only fill his stomach with rice porridge fed to him by his clansmen.

The Kaguya clan leader once boasted to the high-ranking members of Kirigakure that this person was the most outstanding genius in the future of their Kaguya clan.

Many people in Kirigakure know about it.

Qing also happened to hear this news.

The purpose of this trip is to see this genius, Kaguya.

"You are Kimimaro?"

Qing looked at the figure inside a dog cage; the small, thin person looked to be about two years old.

His body was completely devoid of flesh and blood; all that remained was a skeleton.

He had no clothes on him, he was completely naked.

His eyes were blank, and he remained extremely indifferent when faced with the name "Kimimaro".

Before Orochimaru arrived.

The boy has never had a name yet.
