I'm a Pokémon Master from School City (by mistake)

Wind is Tayuya's nemesis, while Pikachu's thunder comes directly from the sky.

"Damn it! That bastard!!!"

Tayuya unleashed a torrent of profanities, never expecting to become the first target of her attack.

The original plan was to encircle them, since the opponent they were facing this time was Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin who was on par with Orochimaru.

But Jiraiya hasn't made a move yet, and they've already suffered two defeats at the hands of that unknown little girl who's always by Jiraiya's side!

If your own number doesn't count as the team's, it should be three times.

Being thrown out by the earthquake, I jumped into the air and was caught in a perfect opportunity. With nowhere to grab hold of, I was a sitting duck.

"Tayuya!" Sakon, who was closest to him, shouted.

The attack came in an instant.

But in that split second, a white spider silk shot out and stuck to Tayuya, trying to pull her away.

but...

With a whoosh, countless leaves flew by and instantly cut the spider silk into pieces.

'snort! ’

No surprises!

Anticipate the enemy's moves and be prepared!

Chiyo had anticipated that the team would cooperate with each other. The most likely and only Pokémon capable of pulling people up from the air was Kidomaru, and the other Pokémon was Chikorita, who could use Razor Leaf to cut spider silk at any time.

"Butterfly! Spray silk! Tie that six-armed one down!"

"Chrysanthemum Leaf, Sunblade, cut that guy down!"

The earthquake not only forced them out, but also made it impossible for them to stay on the ground for the time being. This was the gap that Chiyo wanted.

Take advantage of your weakness and go all in! At this moment, it's all about two kings and two bombs!

Even if they can't kill her, they should at least cripple the brains and those who pose the greatest threat to her.

It was clear that the two were about to fall into his attack.

"Hissssss~"

Suddenly, a python, not much smaller than the Great Onyx, darted into the battlefield, trapping the five people in the air beneath it and using its own body to withstand what could be considered a fatal attack.

Orochimaru!

Chiyo felt a chill in her heart and took out her Poké Ball.

"Come back, everyone!"

She had done her best. Although the Pokémon were strong, Orochimaru could actually bypass all the Pokémon and kill her directly.

Now is the time for you, Jiraiya, to make your appearance, isn't it?!

Chapter Fifty-Two: The Fool and the Snake

Chiyo did not retrieve all the Pokémon.

She still has Charizard and Onix, and is holding a Master Ball in her hand.

This contains her strongest Pokémon to date.

If I were to fight Orochimaru.

Then we'll have to use our trump cards.

Chiyo stared at the smoke and dust created by the giant snake, glancing at Jiraiya every now and then.

The guy finally stood up from the rock, and although he was as slow as an old ox, he didn't seem to feel any sense of danger. He strolled leisurely to Chiyo's side as if taking a walk.

This also relieved Chiyo.

'Looks like we don't need to fight anymore.'

Chiyo could figure out why Jiraiya would come to the Land of Rice Fields even with a toe.

She didn't believe that Orochimaru would not notice Jiraiya after he had been wandering around the Land of Rice Fields for several days without any disguise.

If both sides were determined to destroy the other, the situation wouldn't be what it is now.

A battle was unlikely to break out, but Chiyo dared not relax.

This is something outside the plot; no one knows exactly what will happen. When gods fight, mortals suffer, and she doesn't want to be that mortal who suffers.

"This is really a strange snake."

Before the smoke and dust had even cleared, Chiyo heard a sinister, hoarse, and highly distinctive voice.

It's Orochimaru!

A group of people gradually emerged from the dust.

As the smoke and dust cleared, their true forms were finally revealed.

Orochimaru and his Sound Five.

Apart from Orochimaru, who had a little dust on him, the other five looked quite disheveled, with torn clothes and obvious puncture and burn marks.

As the saying goes, enemies are especially hostile when they meet. The group of five who almost met their doom at Chiyo's hands, apart from Kimimaro, were glaring at Chiyo with murderous eyes.

If Orochimaru hadn't been there, Chiyo would have had every reason to believe that these people would have rushed up and killed her right now.

Orochimaru seemed oblivious to all of this, his eyes fixed greedily on Chiyo's Onix.

After a long pause, he said with a half-smile, "It seems you, you idiot, have also taken on a smart and tasteful apprentice."

"Orochimaru," Jiraiya said with a complicated expression, "you really are here."

"Hehehe~" Orochimaru's hoarse laughter was full of sarcasm. "We've already left Konoha, so there's no need for me to tell you where I'm going, is there?"

"Or are you still not giving up on your foolish idea?"

“Foolish…” Jiraiya sighed. In fact, he already knew the outcome when he first came to the Land of Rice Fields.

Or perhaps the ending was already sealed the moment Orochimaru decided to defect.

But why come at all?

"Sigh~" Jiraiya said with some complicated feelings, "I heard that you have reached an agreement with the daimyo of the Land of Rice Fields and are preparing to establish a ninja village there."

"This doesn't seem like something you would do."

Establishing a ninja village is no small matter; it requires a massive amount of money, supplies, and manpower. Even after expending all that, there's no guarantee of creating a reasonably powerful village. And even if a ninja village is established, having military power controlled by someone else is extremely dangerous.

So Orochimaru can accomplish many things by hiding, but there's one thing he can't hide.

He must reveal his true identity to persuade the daimyo to provide him with money, land, and manpower to establish a ninja village.

This is completely inconsistent with Orochimaru's consistent style since he defected from the ninja village.

So Jiraiya came.

"Yes," Orochimaru said nonchalantly, "I'm planning to try making a few changes. So, are you going to come and join me?"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Chiyo, stuck out his inhumanly long tongue and licked his lips, saying, "I can reluctantly agree, out of consideration for your newly accepted disciple."

Chiyo disliked that gaze but showed no fear, simply meeting it coldly.

"Just making a small change?" Jiraiya crossed his arms and took a half step forward to shield Chiyo behind him. He said very seriously, "If that's really the case, then it's a good thing. But Orochimaru, you wouldn't just be doing this on a whim, would you?"

Although there is no evidence and nothing can be seen at the moment, Jiraiya does not think that this is something Orochimaru wanted to do on a whim.

Orochimaru did not answer, and the atmosphere seemed to fall into an eerie silence.

This went on for quite a while.

"You really are a stubborn idiot." With that, Orochimaru turned away and ignored Jiraiya completely.

"Idiot..."

Jiraiya seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps he wanted to say something; he seemed to have prepared a whole bunch of things to say to persuade Orochimaru.

But in the end, he didn't say anything.

"It's all white, a whole heart has been wiped out." Chiyo took out the scroll she hadn't finished reading earlier and said as she looked at it.

Although she wasn't sure if what she said was appropriate, she felt it was quite fitting.

It seems Jiraiya was trying to tell Orochimaru that Konoha had done everything it could for him, and that even if he didn't return to Konoha, he shouldn't have any thoughts about Konoha.

What a pity! What a pity!

The Land of Fields, the Sound Village, is Orochimaru's trump card for dealing with Konoha in the future.

Although the plan to destroy Konoha in the future failed, Konoha will fall into the longest period of danger and the lowest point in strength since the village was founded.

As for the grudges and feuds between Orochimaru and Konoha, or rather, the grudges and feuds between the entire Sannin and Konoha, these are not things she can care about or be concerned with right now.

Strength is the most important thing.

"You little brat," Jiraiya said, his lips twitching, "what do you know...?"

But then he thought again and said, "Your summoned beasts seem to rely heavily on your commands."

"Ah."

Chiyo didn't shy away from saying, "You're right. They're not quite the same as ordinary summoned beasts. They're less organized, and their fighting spirit is also weaker without me in charge."

While Pokémon can be considered very strong, ...

Running away to save one's life is a biological instinct.

To put it bluntly, humans acted as a supervisory force; otherwise, Pokémon would have run away as soon as they were around.

Even Pokémon trained by humans are the same.

"Where do we go next?" Chiyo asked again. "We're not just going to keep wandering around like this, are we?"

If possible, Chiyo would prefer that Jiraiya stay in one place for a while.

If I remember correctly, Jiraiya only trained his apprentices for about three years.

If she only had three years, she would very much like to stay in one place for three years.

Wandering around like this is a waste of time.

"Hmm..." Jiraiya thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go somewhere else."

"Prepare to gather materials."

Chapter 53 The New World, But Not Going

The ninja world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social interactions.

Yes, wherever there are people, human relationships and social dynamics are an eternal theme.

The ninja world is no exception to this.

Even though Jiraiya knew that Orochimaru's purpose in establishing the ninja village was not pure, he had even guessed that in the future Orochimaru would definitely use this ninja village he had established to attack Konoha.

But Orochimaru hasn't done anything yet, so Jiraiya can only offer some advice, as a former friend and teammate.

Orochimaru didn't want Jiraiya to disrupt his plans.

Perhaps they are destined to become enemies in the future, and truly regard each other as their mortal foe, but not now. Orochimaru does not want Jiraiya to interfere with his plans.

A conflict that seemed poised to erupt was thus averted.

Although the Sound Five were badly beaten by Chiyo, they were not seriously injured and had not lost their fighting ability. They just needed to rest for a while.

Aside from Kimimaro, Chiyo wasn't quite sure what he was thinking, but the other four had now formed a grudge against each other.

In the future, they may have to face retaliation from these four people.

The immediate priority is to improve our capabilities as quickly as possible.

Jiraiya took Chiyo with him when they left the Land of Rice Fields. Chiyo didn't know much about this world. The ninja world map she saw in her previous life wasn't wrong, but it was too general. It only showed the important countries and some that appeared in the story.

The real ninja world actually consists of many countries, especially countless small ones.

How small is that country?
