Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 328 Acquired

Watching Snake open his mouth to an angle that no normal person could possibly open.

Then take out two black scrolls from them.

Despite the disgusting slime on them, Toshiro accepted the two scrolls and said to Orochimaru:

"As far as I know, the 'demigod' who bestowed upon you the title of one of the Three Legendary Sannin is dead, and his death was orchestrated by the owner of the 'Rinnegan,' who seems to still be in Amegakure!"

Having acquired the two ninjutsu, Toshiro didn't waste any time and immediately told Orochimaru the information he knew.

As for why the other party agreed to give him these two ninjutsu techniques...

He knew without even thinking that Orochimaru, that bastard, was after the Uchiha bloodline.

But...

He believed that Orochimaru would soon use up this favor.

Once he suffers a setback at Nagato's hands, he'll take the opportunity to repay the favor and, incidentally, obtain the complete Reanimation Jutsu.

He didn't care whether this would lead to Nagato's death.

As long as Orochimaru can afford the price, he will tell Orochimaru every detail about Nagato.

Furthermore, I would be very happy to see Orochimaru kill Nagato and then take Madara's 'Rinnegan'. If that happens, things will get really interesting!

"Has Hanzo the Salamander died?"

He had a very deep impression of this enemy. In that battle, if the enemy hadn't taken pity on them because they were disciples of the Third Hokage, he, Jiraiya, and Tsunade would probably have died.

"I never imagined that a powerful figure like Hanzo the Salamander would die so quietly?"

"Not a single word has come out... That's really... surprising!"

"There's nothing strange about this... The opponent possesses the legendary 'Rinnegan,' and... Hanzo the Salamander is old!"

Everyone grows old. Although Hanzo the Salamander was known as a 'demigod,' the relentless passage of time still eroded his will and decayed his body.

"Getting old?"

Considering the other person's age, I remember they were older than Sarutobi-sensei, so it's not surprising.

Then Orochimaru thought of the age spots on his teacher's body, which made him even more determined in his choice.

Once I master this ninjutsu, aging... such things will not happen to me.

"Well... Orochimaru-senpai's acquaintances are arriving soon, so I won't disturb you catching up with them!"

Having obtained the item, Toshiro saw no need to remain. After saying this, he transformed into a blazing flame and vanished from the spot.

"Uchiha...Toshiro?"

"Things are really getting more and more interesting!"

Watching Toshiro's figure disappear, Orochimaru looked at the empty ground after Toshiro's disappearance and let out a series of cryptic laughs.

"As for these annoying pursuers..."

Turning his head, Orochimaru cast a cruel smile at the direction from which the Root ninjas had come, revealing a bloodthirsty expression.

……

"Hmm! Orochimaru-senpai is truly exceptionally talented! Sealing a portion of one's soul into someone else as a backup plan for resurrection is indeed a brilliant idea!"

"And this cursed seal! What a brilliant idea!"

I remember Orochimaru planted a hickey on Anko's body. I guess I'll have to find a chance to go and take a closer look.

At Toshiro's house, the scroll left behind by Orochimaru is unrolled, and Toshiro is carefully examining the two ninjutsu he has acquired this time.

Especially the Reanimation Jutsu, that's truly famous. And the method within it that allows one to revive oneself is something Toshiro greatly envies.

To achieve this level, the knowledge required for chakra application is so vast that even Toshiro, at his current level, is greatly impressed and benefits from it.

Not to mention, the knowledge about soul splitting seemed to open another door for him, giving him a lot of inspiration.

There's also the Impure World Reincarnation technique, but this ninjutsu hasn't reached the level it became later, especially since the summoned dead still have significant flaws.

However, Orochimaru also recorded some improvement plans on it, but before he could try them out, the scroll ended up in Toshiro's hands.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"We really hit the jackpot this time!"

Toshiro, who was flipping through the scrolls, suddenly looked up and let out a demonic laugh. The sound echoed eerily in the empty, secluded room.

"Well…"

"Calm down, calm down! It's just two ninjutsu techniques, don't get too excited!"

As he laughed, Toshiro became alert.

During this period, he has been carefully controlling his emotional fluctuations, and his practice has consisted only of meditation.

I didn't expect that even after several months, the side effects would still be so obvious.

……

In the Hokage's office.

"I am extremely sorry... the mission to capture Orochimaru has failed!"

Kakashi was kneeling on one knee, reporting the mission to the Third Hokage with a blank expression.

"...Wait a minute, you mean...Uchiha Toshiro also appeared in the group chasing Orochimaru?"

Upon hearing Kakashi mention that Toshiro had also gone to hunt down Orochimaru, the Third Hokage involuntarily frowned.

How did these two end up together?

"Didn't you send him over to provide support?"

Seeing the Third Hokage's expression, Kakashi realized what was going on and asked with some surprise.

"..."

"Please continue your report!"

God the hell sent him here himself. This guy is getting more and more brazen, openly acting in my name. It's outrageous!

"yes!"

Seeing that the Third Hokage did not delve further into the issue, Kakashi continued to recount the details of the mission, but his tone and word choice became more cautious.

"Kakashi! The failure of this mission is not your fault; it was my oversight. Even with a Sharingan, facing an enemy like Orochimaru is still too early for you!"

Looking at the orphan of White Fang, the Third Hokage showed a kind smile and did not blame him for the failure of this mission.

"By the way, how's 'Yamato,' the new guy who joined your team, doing?"

"How well are they using their Wood Release ninjutsu?"

After calming Kakashi down, the Third Hokage ignored the mountain of documents on his desk and didn't even ask about Orochimaru's situation. Instead, he began to inquire about the current status of the Wood Release ninja he had obtained from Danzo.

In particular, the opponent's current Wood Release technique is a key focus for him.

"Yamato's performance..."

Seeing the Hokage's astonished expression, Kakashi didn't think much of it and directly told the Third Hokage about the Hokage's performance.
