Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

Chiyo looked around, searching for the person who wanted to kidnap Bonfuku.

boom--!

There was a sound of wind behind her, Chiyo turned around, crossed her arms to block the kick, and while dodging the chakra knife that was swinging at her, she looked for an opportunity to counterattack. She kicked the chakra knife out of the enemy's hand, and swung the chakra lines with both hands to wrap around his neck.

Orochimaru noticed the chakra lines coming towards him and quickly stepped back. A kunai attacked him from behind and he was forced to cancel his transformation technique, revealing his "true appearance".

"It's indeed a Kumogakure ninja!"

Chiyo looked at the iconic brown skin, which exuded a strong murderous aura.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Strike!"

Orochimaru formed seals with his hands, condensed the lightning chakra in his palms, aimed it at Chiyo, and fired lightning.

boom--!

A hole was blasted in the ground by lightning. Chiyo jumped up and ran on the wall. Two scrolls appeared in her hands, summoning two ordinary humanoid puppets. She controlled the two puppets to attack.

To be able to sneak in here, he must have a lot of information about Sand Village. How could she let him leave alive?

The two puppets opened their mouths and fired a large number of poisonous needles, sharp blades popped out of their arms, and the mechanisms all over their bodies made strange clicking sounds as they attacked Orochimaru.

In Chiyo's opinion, it would be easier to kill this Kumogakure ninja than to capture him alive. It would be bad if he escaped while keeping him alive.

Orochimaru held the kunai in both hands, swung it to shoot down all the poison needles, dodging the attacks of the two puppets while approaching the chakra sword little by little.

Want your weapon back?

Chiyo waved her hands quickly, and the attack angles of the two puppets became more and more tricky. The puppets' limbs separated and pulled out the steel wires.

Is this how a puppeteer fights... What a dazzling attack method!

Orochimaru attached the lightning chakra to the kunai, waved his hand and threw the kunai flashing with lightning, aiming at the chakra line that Chiyo used to control the puppet.

Is his target the chakra line?

Don't even think about it!

Chiyo was startled and used both hands to control the chakra lines to avoid the kunai.

Orochimaru took the opportunity to pick up the chakra knife. The Yin seal on his wrist released the Yang escape chakra to strengthen his arm. With one knife, he cut a puppet in half. He swung the chakra knife quickly to cut the steel wire that was wrapped around it. He sighed in his heart that the standard chakra knife was quite good to use.

"I don't have time to waste here with an old woman like you!"

Orochimaru pointed the chakra knife in his hand at Chiyo.

"Old...old woman?!"

When Chiyo heard the man address her, she immediately flew into a rage. She took out the scroll that sealed the Kinmatsu Tenjinshu and shouted angrily, "You unreasonable person! I'm still young and beautiful!"

(Chiyo is now in her thirties, a mature and beautiful young woman.)

"The battle ends here, old woman."

Orochimaru looked at the unique scroll in Chiyo's hand and formed a seal with one hand. She didn't want to fight with Chiyo who controlled the Kinmatsu Ten. A brief fight was enough for her to understand Chiyo's strength.

"Don't try to escape!"

Chiyo didn't have time to break the seal and take out the Chikamatsu Ten sealed in the scroll, so she could only control another puppet to rush towards Orochimaru.

The chakra knife in Orochimaru's hand was inserted into the ground, a dazzling flash of lightning passed by, and the puppet missed.

"Damn it! We let that rude bastard get away!"

Chiyo clenched her fists and looked at the traces of battle around her. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

"Shameless Kumogakure! You've set your sights on the One-Tail!"

When Chiyo thought of the way the Hidden Cloud Ninja addressed her, she became even more furious and wished she could grind him to ashes.

After Chiyo left, an inconspicuous little bug shook off the dirt on its body and flew away.

"Is that guy really a ninja from Kumogakure?"

Shukaku, who witnessed the entire battle between Orochimaru and Chiyo, didn't quite believe that the man was a ninja from Kumogakure.

"Who knows."

Sharing blessings does not care about the other person's identity at all.

Chiyo reported the matter to his superiors, and the enraged Third Kazekage moved the prison where Bunfuku was imprisoned to a more hidden prison, and at the same time sent someone to deliver a letter to Kumogakure.

The Third Kazekage didn't even suspect that the Kumogakure ninja was someone else in disguise. In his opinion, who else except Kumogakure could do such a wicked thing?

The country of thunder, Yunyin Village.

boom--!

A loud bang mixed with rumbling thunder came from the Raikage Building.

The hard table was smashed to pieces by Ai's fist flashing with lightning. He looked at the letter in his hand with extreme anger, his hands were shaking with anger, the chakra emanating from his body tore the letter in his hand into pieces, and the expression on his face was distorted because of excessive anger.

"Slander! This is slander against Kumogakure! Kumogakure already has the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails, so how could they want to snatch the One-Tails from Sunagakure!"

Ai never thought that the Cloud Village Ninja had not gone anywhere during this period of time, so why would he run to Sand Village and plan to take over the One-Tail?

Kumogakure doesn't even know who the One-Tail's Jinchuriki is!

How could he pay attention to Yiwei?

This was like a shit pot falling from the sky and being put on Yunyin's head.

PS:

There will only be two updates today... It's no different from the three updates, both are 9000 words.

Loulan is a country in the movie "The Lost Tower". According to the timeline, Loulan should have been destroyed in the Third Shinobi World War.

After all, when Naruto returned to the original timeline, Sarah's daughter was already that old, looking around 13-14 years old.

As for why the Kingdom of Loulan was destroyed, it was because its dragon veins were sealed. Without its most powerful weapons and support, it was no surprise that it was destroyed.

The timeline in which Naruto, who traveled through time, was after Jiraiya's death and before he went to Myoboku Mountain to train, he received the mission to go to Loulan.

The timeline of Minato Namikaze was when Kakashi was still a Chunin, and Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin were still Genin. They received the mission to go to Loulan. At that time, Ichiraku Ramen had just opened and there was a long queue outside the store.

Shizune was also in the group and hadn't left Konoha with Tsunade yet.

The timeline is before the Third Shinobi World War, which means that Loulan Kingdom died a few years after its dragon vein was sealed. Queen Sarah survived, married an unknown man and gave birth to a daughter.

If Sarah could live to see Naruto go to Loulan on his mission, she would be around 35-40 years old.

Volume 130: Chapter Foxes are Canines

Uchiha Madara drove the particularly conspicuous fiery red car down from the sky. The harsh sound of brakes seemed to be announcing his arrival, and a skid left clearly visible brake marks on the ground.

"Mr. Deng, you are here."

When the people in the experimental base saw Uchiha Madara, they greeted him with great respect.

"Ah."

Uchiha Madara responded.

"Si, we haven't conducted any detonation experiments in such a long time. Has the science you're talking about hit a bottleneck?"

Uchiha Madara walked into Tsutomu's laboratory, looked at Tsutomu who was researching something, and spoke with a sarcastic tone.

"Bottleneck? Lao Deng, even if you die, my research won't encounter a bottleneck!"

Mi glared at Uchiha Madara with a malicious look and said, "When you die, I will set off hundreds of fireworks near the mountain cemetery to celebrate your death! Dying at your age, needless to say, it will be a happy funeral! I will invite famous rap stars from TV to see you off, and also dance in front of your grave, so that you can go on a happy and lively journey!"

"You little girl with a sharp tongue!"

Uchiha Madara raised his eyebrows. These words were extremely vicious. He was not allowed to rest in peace even after death.

"Foolish and ignorant cavemen!"

He raised his middle finger towards Uchiha Madara, his eyes filled with contempt for him. "You've experienced the convenience of science, yet you still dare to look down on my research?"

"Hmph! What effect can your research have in front of powerful ninjas? Look at the destruction of the Whirlpool Country by the invasion of the four major ninja villages, and you will understand how insignificant the power of technology is."

Uchiha Madara was not angry at all. In his opinion, Miyabi's research was useless in front of a truly strong person.

"Since you look down on technology so much, then return the car I gave you. A sedan can be sold for 3000 million taels on the black market, which is enough for me to use as research funds for half a year."

He stretched out his hand and motioned Uchiha Madara to return the car's authentication key.

"..."

Uchiha Madara was silent. Wouldn't it be like asking him to die if he handed over his beloved car?

"I admit that your research can change lives, but it is useless in a battle between strong ninjas."

Uchiha Madara's old face turned red under the mask, and he spoke insincerely.

"Tsk! You hypocritical old man!"

Mi's fingers were spotted with Uchiha's.

"I'm telling you, don't underestimate the power of science. Later..."

Halfway through his speech, Mi suddenly realized that at Uchiha Madara's age, he would never have the chance to witness the power of science. He waved his hand and said, "Well... at your age, it seems you don't have the chance. That's fine, then."

"you!"

Uchiha Madara was so angry that he wanted to take action, but he couldn't. Even though his strength had weakened to a very weak level, a random punch was not something the woman in front of him, who had been spending years in the laboratory, could withstand.

"Oh, you can't convince me so you want to fight? That fits my impression of a ninja."

He put one hand on his waist, looking like "come and hit me if you dare", which made Uchiha Madara so angry that his teeth were itching.

"It's precisely because ninjas are made up of reckless men like you that they're treated like tools! You don't even have a single thought of your own, you're an uncivilized old fogey!"

He was not worried at all that Uchiha Madara would take action. Instead, he doubled down on mocking him.

"You sharp-tongued little girl, I won't argue with you!"

Uchiha Madara realized that he had no other choice but to fight back, so he turned around and walked out.

"Tsk! Damn Old Deng, don't forget to drive over here for a checkup after a while. If there's any problem, I don't want to collect your body."

Every car needs to be inspected every once in a while to avoid problems with car parts.

Uchiha Madara heard Mina's words with a hint of concern and responded: "I know."

"Also, things have been pretty turbulent lately. The Iron Nation isn't one to sit still either. They're eager to take action against the surrounding countries. Don't get dragged into it, Old Deng."

She continued her research and said without raising her head. The information she mentioned was transmitted by people planted in the Iron Country. Not only the Iron Country, but all countries also wanted to take advantage of the war between the five major countries to gain benefits.

General Mifune of the Iron Country defeated the previous leader. He had just become the leader of the Iron Country and was at his most ambitious. He wanted to take advantage of the constant friction among the five major countries to expand the territory of the Iron Country.

The Iron Country...

Uchiha Madara thought about the information he had collected.

The current admiral of the Iron Country seems to be a young man named Mifune.

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

In the huge space under the laboratory, Orochimaru looked at Zero who was extremely calm and made no attempt to break free from the seal.

Even a wild beast driven only by instinct wouldn't be so obedient...

Orochimaru recalled the Zero-Tails' behavior after it was sealed. It would be more accurate to say that the Zero-Tails was cooperating with her experiments rather than using the seal to restrain the Zero-Tails and extract its blood for research and experiments.

Could it be that... Zero Tail has developed self-awareness?

This kind of thing is not impossible.

Let's talk about it.

Orochimaru looked up at Zero Tail's raised neck and head and said firmly, "Zero Tail, you have developed self-awareness, right?"

"How...did you...know that?"

Lingwei lowered his head, his mask-like face, his lips slightly parted, and he spoke haltingly.

"I'm just blasting you."

Orochimaru spread his hands. She suspected that the Zero-Tails had developed self-awareness, but she was not sure yet, so she thought of trying to blow it up.

Maybe it was because he had just developed the last bit of self-awareness and had not yet experienced the evil of human nature, so he admitted it so frankly.

Orochimaru didn't expect it to be so smooth, almost too smooth.
