Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 161 Orochimaru, can he be a little more reliable as a boss?!

early morning.

The morning dew is just beginning to awaken.

Sasori's pursuit arrived as expected.

"Magnetic Release: Iron Sand Triangular Cone!"

Sasori of the Red Sand, controlling the Third Kazekage's puppet, used Magnet Release to transform iron sand into giant triangular cones, nearly causing the entire cave to collapse!

"pocket!"

Orochimaru swiftly ordered Kabuto Yakushi to open the sealing scroll!

As Kabuto Yakushi raised his finger, a coffin appeared from the sealing scroll. The moment the coffin was opened, the Third Kazekage, resurrected through Edo Tensei, broke free from Orochimaru's control and launched an attack on Kabuto Yakushi and Orochimaru!

"..."

Kabuto immediately realized the problem!

Kabuto Yakushi disregarded everything else, grabbed Orochimaru and dodged the attack of the reanimated Third Kazekage, then fled in a sorry state with Orochimaru on his back!

fortunately.

The Third Kazekage, resurrected through Edo Tensei, did not pursue them.

Because this out-of-control Edo Tensei Third Kazekage saw Sasori of the Red Sand, who had turned his corpse into a human puppet, he immediately wanted to take this opportunity to cleanse his sect.

"They actually made my body into that grotesque shape..."

The Third Kazekage stared at Sasori of the Red Sand, manipulating iron sand to gather around him: "Although I don't want to return to the world of the living in this ghastly form, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It seems I can still rid the village of a dangerous rogue ninja..."

"Perhaps..."

Sasori's voice remained hoarse and calm. He glanced at Kabuto Yakushi and Orochimaru as they walked away, then manipulated Hiruko to raise her hand.

"Our tactics are effective."

Orochimaru, carried on Yakushi Kabuto's back, smiled as if everything was under his control: "As long as I don't undo the Impure World Reincarnation and don't manipulate that Third Kazekage, he will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to return to the human world and do everything he can to get rid of that bastard Sasori..."

Orochimaru never believed that the Third Kazekage's reanimated form would obey orders. He simply released the Third Kazekage to exploit the hatred between the Kazekage and Sasori, thus escaping Sasori's pursuit.

"yes…"

Kabuto could only mutter a reply.

Can't Orochimaru be a little more reliable as a boss?

Yesterday, Orochimaru claimed that he was going to remove Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan, but he was caught in Itachi Uchiha's Tsukuyomi genjutsu and couldn't move. He was also thrown off a cliff by Sasori of the Red Sand and was expelled from the Akatsuki organization.

Last night, they were still claiming that their Impure World Reincarnation technique could stop Sasori of the Red Sand from chasing them, but the Impure World Kazekage almost killed them on the spot!

If I weren't here...

Orochimaru will die countless times!

Just as Kabuto was worrying that Sasori's battle with the reanimated Third Kazekage might take up too much time, Sasori had already dealt with his former superior.

"Magnetic Release: Iron Sand Boundary Technique!"

Sasori of the Red Sand used the cover of the Iron Sand World Technique to secretly throw out several Yin-Yang Release black rods, pinning the resurrected Third Kazekage to the ground, rendering him unable to move!

As a member of the Asura Path, Sasori of the Red Sand had long ago received the Yin-Yang Release from Kagura Akihara, and the black rods of the Yin-Yang Release were able to block the flow of chakra.

Even those resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation are no exception.

"This is…"

The Third Kazekage stared in disbelief at the black rods stuck in his body.

"Just a little trick."

Sasori of the Red Sand looked at the Third Kazekage and advised his former superior, "Go back to the Underworld as soon as possible, lest you be manipulated again..."

"You bastard..."

The Third Kazekage wanted to curse, but ultimately had no choice but to release the Impure World Reincarnation himself, allowing his soul to return to the Pure Land of the Underworld.

After the Kazekage's soul disappeared, a pile of paper scraps emerged from the reanimated body, revealing the offering inside—an unknown ninja who was long dead.

"snort…"

Sasori of the Red Sand reached out and grabbed the black rod on the ground, then chased after Kabuto and Orochimaru again, trailing behind them.

Everything unfolded exactly as Yakushi Kabuto had predicted.

Due to Kabuto's treatment, Orochimaru's injuries were slow to heal, although he could feel his injuries improving. However, this did not eliminate the threat posed by Sasori of the Red Sand.

"It will be fully healed in a while..."

Kabuto Yakushi treated Orochimaru with great care, and even actually found the reason for Orochimaru's serious injuries: "Perhaps it's because Lord Orochimaru was reincarnated before, and his soul is slightly weakened, which would cause his injuries to heal a little slower..."

"Thank you, Kabuto."

Orochimaru stared at Kabuto with a grim face. He wasn't angry that his injuries couldn't be healed, but rather that he couldn't escape Sasori's pursuit.

"Kabuto, find a way to capture a sacrifice."

Orochimaru pulled out another scroll: "I still have some treasures. I'll teach you the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Learn it as soon as possible to revive a new powerful being..."

"Yes."

Kabuto nodded quickly.

However, Orochimaru never expected that Kabuto Yakushi's aptitude for learning the Impure World Reincarnation technique was really poor, requiring him to teach him step by step. He didn't even understand the principle of how the Impure World Reincarnation technique communicates with the underworld to summon the souls of the dead.

Kabuto Yakushi's aptitude for learning this forbidden technique is too poor...

This actually increased Orochimaru's trust in him considerably.

of course.

Kabuto Yakushi still has his merits.

Kabuto Yakushi possessed superb medical ninjutsu and exceptional medical skills.

No matter how dangerous the situation, Kabuto remained loyal to Orochimaru and never thought of abandoning him. He even took a poison needle from Sasori of the Red Sand while trying to save Orochimaru, and almost died from the poison.

Fortunately, Orochimaru was very knowledgeable about poisons, and Kabuto Yakushi was clever enough to concoct an antidote under Orochimaru's guidance.

"If you die, I won't escape Scorpion's pursuit."

Orochimaru lay behind a rock, watching Kabuto take the antidote, and only then did he feel relieved: "Next time, don't rush to save me. I won't be killed by Sasori's poison..."

Kabuto shook his head, unconcerned about his own life or death: "If Orochimaru-sama gets into trouble, Dean Nonou and I will be forced to our deaths by Kagura sooner or later."

"Hehehehe... Don't worry, none of us will die."

Orochimaru looked at Kabuto Yakushi, a sinister smile on his face, and made his promise: "As long as we can escape this calamity, I'll find a way to further refine the Impure World Reincarnation technique, so that brat Kagura won't be able to run rampant any longer..."

"Yes."

Yakushi Kabuto lowered his head.

Orochimaru pulled out a scroll and continued his lesson: "Let's continue learning the Impure World Reincarnation Technique! In the meantime, you must master the Impure World Reincarnation Technique as quickly as possible..."

Three months...

Orochimaru's injuries are almost fully healed.

It seems that Kabuto Yakushi still hasn't mastered the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

One day at noon.

The sun was at its hottest.

Kabuto sneaks out to fetch water, taking the opportunity to meet with Sasori of the Red Sand.

"Orochimaru's injuries are almost healed."

"What should we do then?"

Sasori frowned immediately upon hearing Kabuto's words: "I'm not good at genjutsu. Even if I injure Orochimaru, his Orochi-ryu Substitution Jutsu can heal my injuries instantly."

"It's not necessary."

Kabuto shook his head and continued, "I have already learned the Impure World Reincarnation technique that Orochimaru taught me. Based on my understanding of Kagura, I should be able to teach him this forbidden technique as well."

During this time, Kabuto Yakushi had already mastered this forbidden technique.

Kabuto Yakushi's goal was simply to help Akihara Kagura obtain Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation technique, which is why he went to great lengths to find out all the details of the technique.

To avoid any future issues with his retelling that might prevent Akihara Kagura from learning the technique, Kabuto Yakushi already had a clear enough understanding of the details of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and given Akihara Kagura's exceptional talent, she should be able to learn it.

"The objective has been achieved."

Kabuto looked at Sasori and continued, "Now let Orochimaru leave. I'll stay with him to continue perfecting this technique. Thank you for your hard work, Sasori-san..."

"It's alright, it's nothing."

Sasori of the Red Sand shook his head and continued, "Then I'll fight him again tomorrow, slowly chasing after him and just pretending to be in pursuit."

"Would that make it impossible for you to explain yourself back to Akatsuki?"

Kabuto Yakushi acted very understandingly. He didn't know about Sasori Akasuna's relationship with Kagura Akihara, but Sasori seemed to respect him out of respect for Kagura.

Of course.

Kabuto would reciprocate with respect, not wanting Sasori's goodwill towards Akihara Kagura to decline due to his rudeness.

"Don't worry."

Sasori of the Red Sand never worried about the Akatsuki: "The leader of the Akatsuki trusts me a lot. He also understands Orochimaru's cunning and treachery, so he won't blame me for it. He will only direct his hatred at Orochimaru."

"..."

Kabuto nodded with a strange expression.

"Actually, this is a good thing."

The voice coming from under Sasori's Hiruko was somewhat weary: "While I was acting alongside you, I was worried about accidentally killing you and Orochimaru. Now that Orochimaru's injuries have healed, I can make a move without holding back and worrying about killing you both..."

"..."

Kabuto's eye twitched.

Speaking such blunt truths can be really hurtful.

Two days later.

When Orochimaru recovered from his injuries, he gave up on continuing to teach Kabuto the Impure World Reincarnation technique: "Kabuto, it seems you are not suited to learning this forbidden technique. You can learn it on your own in the future. I have already taught you everything I can."

"I'm sorry, Lord Orochimaru."

The pharmacist adjusted his glasses, a hint of regret and shame on his face: "It's because I'm not naturally gifted enough. I will try my best to learn."

"It's okay."

Orochimaru didn't mind this and chuckled, saying, "Don't be discouraged, Kabuto. Everyone has their own talents. Your talent doesn't lie in this, but in medicine and science. Besides, this technique still needs us to refine it gradually."

"Yes."

Yakushi Kabuto lowered his head as if resigned to his fate.

"but…"

"It's time to teach that bastard Scorpion a lesson."

Orochimaru, recalling the humiliation of being robbed of his ring by Sasori and thrown down the cliff steps, suddenly flashed a ruthless glint in his eyes: "The humiliation that bastard inflicted on me, I'll repay him this time!"

"Yes."

A hint of worry flashed in Kabuto's eyes.

This worry wasn't about Sasori's safety, but rather about what might happen to Orochimaru again; it seemed Orochimaru had never kept any of his promises…

as predicted.

Orochimaru and Sasori of the Red Sand fought a great battle.

As one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, Orochimaru's combat strength is indeed formidable. He fought Sasori of the Red Sand to a standstill, and even subtly suppressed Sasori!

"They were just taking advantage of my injury..."

Orochimaru gently raised his finger, chuckling as he looked at Sasori. Countless long snakes coiled around the puppet controlled by Sasori: "If it really comes down to a fight, you're still far from it... Reveal your true form, Sasori. I know this Hiruko puppet is just a cover for you."

"It's not the right time yet."

Sasori's Hiruko shook her head and slowly opened her mouth.

A strange launch port appeared in the mouth of this Hiruko, and rockets shot out from the launch port, almost instantly wiping out the snakes on the ground!

This is Sasori's new technology!

Sasori of the Red Sand had been secretly researching his abilities as a puppet of the Asura Path. The little bit of new technology he developed was enough to make Orochimaru flee in a sorry state once again!

"..."

Kabuto Yakushi watched this scene and fell silent for a long time.

Orochimaru grabbed Kabuto and fled quickly. This time, Sasori seemed to have sensed Orochimaru's restored strength and did not give chase.

"This guy's puppetry skills have improved again!"

After Orochimaru successfully escaped with Kabuto, a hint of gloom crept into his expression: "No wonder that bastard was so arrogant back at Akatsuki's base..."

"..."

Kabuto hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Orochimaru looked at Kabuto Yakushi and instructed him, "Kabuto, go back to Konoha and stay by Kagura's side. Continue to gather intelligence on Akihara Kagura and Konoha. Report to me immediately if anything happens..."

"it is good."

Kabuto Yakushi nodded quickly, offering a reason: "I've been away from Konoha for so long, and I'm very worried about Dean Nonou's condition..."

Kabuto, worried that Akihara Kagura wasn't seeking the Impure World Reincarnation technique, also inquired about Orochimaru's whereabouts: "Where's Lord Orochimaru? It seems unlikely that the Akatsuki will give up the pursuit, right?"

"I'm going to the Land of Fields."

Orochimaru grinned and chuckled, "The Akatsuki can't kill me. I'll find a way to talk to them. I bet they don't want the ninja world to know about Akatsuki, do they?"

Orochimaru looked at Kabuto Yakushi. After the chase with Sasori of the Red Sand, Orochimaru's goodwill towards Kabuto had greatly increased. He smiled sinisterly and reassured him, "Kabuto, don't worry. Once I've perfected the Impure World Reincarnation technique, I'll go back to Konoha and deal with that brat Kagura's threat to you..."

"Oh, right."

Orochimaru brought up the old matter again, mentioning that retired ally, and chuckled, "If you have the chance, help me contact Danzo. That guy may have lost his power, but based on my understanding of Danzo, he will definitely not let it go so easily. He won't be willing to lose power, and he will definitely have some other tricks up his sleeve..."

"Um…"

Kabuto nodded calmly.

Does Danzo really have some other tricks up his sleeve?
