Chapter 122 The One Who Saved You Is Me, Hozumi Izumo!

Orochimaru nodded.

Given the current situation of Ten Thousand Snakes, if Orochimaru summons Ten Thousand Snakes, the first to attack will be Orochimaru.

However, Orochimaru is not afraid.

It's just that there is no way to make Ten Thousand Snakes fight for him.

Leaving Konoha.

Orochimaru came to a post town outside the village.

Entering the tavern.

"I need information about the location of the Taketori Cat."

Every ninja village has its own intelligence system.

For ninjas, intelligence is very important.

However, the situation of the Taketori Cat is different.

It does not belong to the camp of the ninja village.

Therefore, Konoha's intelligence system will not put much effort in this regard.

In comparison, the bounty hunter's intelligence system will be more interested in the existence of the Taketori Cat.

A powerful rebel ninja.

If you kill it, you can go to the Hidden Mist Village and collect a huge bounty.

If you don't kill it, you can recruit and hire it.

Under normal circumstances, the price paid for hiring such a powerful ninja in the ninja village is extremely high.

As for the rebel ninja, they can be hired at a relatively low price.

This is why Kakuzu is so popular in the wandering ninja world.

It is not because Kakuzu is strong.

But because Kakuzu is cheap.

If a small noble wants to hire a ninjutsu proficient in various attributes and whose strength is above the elite jonin, there are very few options to choose from. It is either Sarutobi Hiruzen or Kakuzu.

But if the small noble hires Sarutobi Hiruzen, he may have to go bankrupt.

But if he hires Kakuzu, he doesn't even need half, no, one-third.

A powerful existence like the Taketori Cat is a hot commodity in the wandering ninja world.

Moreover, because the things the Taketori Cat does are particularly amazing.

It will attract the attention of others.

The middle-aged man smiled.

"Lord Orochimaru, the Taketori Cat is powerful and dangerous. It is not cheap to obtain his information."

"Name a price."

"One million taels."

Orochimaru frowned.

"Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

"No, no, no, Lord Orochimaru, how dare I? It's just that it's really worth this price. I just happened to have the location of the Bamboo Cat in my hand. If you want it, Lord Orochimaru, I can give it to you now."

The middle-aged man smiled more flatteringly.

"This timeliness is extremely high."

"Besides, many of our people sacrificed in order to obtain this information."

Orochimaru still frowned.

"It's too high."

One million taels, this is the level of top A-level mission, S-level mission.

Just the location information of the Bamboo Cat is worth so much?

An ordinary A-level mission is only a few hundred thousand taels.

And the A-level mission is already related to the country and the ninja village level.

"Then Lord Orochimaru, how much do you think you can accept?"

"One hundred thousand taels."

The middle-aged man's face was bitter.

"Lord Orochimaru, this is too low. We lost more than a dozen people."

After a round of bargaining, it was determined to be 300,000 taels.

After Orochimaru paid, the middle-aged man suddenly changed his expression. He had a bitter and unwilling look before, but in the blink of an eye, he became happy, which made Orochimaru realize that the middle-aged man could fully accept this price, and he was not reluctant at all.

The middle-aged man handed over a scroll.

It was not a ninjutsu scroll, but just ordinary paper.

"Lord Orochimaru, the information is here."

Orochimaru nodded and walked out.

When he reached the end of the street, he looked back and narrowed his eyes.

"These ordinary people are really greedy."

"I haven't dealt with such people for a long time, and I have suffered a small loss."

But at this time, Orochimaru didn't have time to care about the middle-aged man.

Finding the Bamboo Cat is the most important thing for Orochimaru now.

...

...

"Ding!"

The knives in the hands of the two collided with each other.

Then, they separated at a very fast speed.

Hozuki Mangetsu and Uchiha Shisui, both of them retreated at the same time.

Looking up, they both looked serious.

"Uchiha Shisui?"

"Mangetsu Kizuki?"

The battlefield is a breeding ground for geniuses.

In the constant battles, true geniuses will stand out.

Just like Hoshigaki Kisame and Hatake Kakashi.

Not relying on the flattery of others, but relying on their own real strength.

Powerful ninjas always attract attention and make people talk about them.

Heroes, geniuses...

People usually divide ninjas into different levels according to their age.

Namikaze Minato, the Fourth Raikage, Huang Tu, Ye Cang, Luo Sha, Ya Cang, Biwa Juzo...

These people will be listed as one generation.

And because Namikaze Minato performed the best in this generation, many people referred to Namikaze Minato's nickname when naming this era.

Namikaze Minato is called the Yellow Flash, and some people call him the Golden Flash.

There is not much difference between the two.

Therefore, some people call this generation the golden generation.

The seven members of the Kirigakure have fallen because of their tragic defeat.

But Biwa Juzo and his two companions have returned to the discussion of the crowd with their Zanpakutō.

The Sandaime Kage and his companions are called the old generation.

Basically they are all old.

And the third generation Raikage has died.

The third Kazekage has disappeared.

Basically, very few of the strong men of that generation are still alive today.

The generation in Konoha is relatively well preserved.

In addition to Sarutobi Hiruzen, there was also Shimura Danzo and two elders.

The Sannin and others are called the old generation.

Everyone recognizes the strength of the old generation, but there is not much discussion about it.

Because its strength is basically fixed and will not change much.

There has been enough talk before.

Human beings are creatures that love the new and hate the old.

What everyone is talking about the most right now is the Golden Generation and the Silver Generation, headed by Inigaki Kisame.

Konoha's Kakashi, Asuma.

Zabuza is the dried persimmon Kisame of Kirigakure Village.

Darui of Cloud Hidden Village.

Hunting in Iwagakure Village.

The Red Sand Scorpion of Sand Hidden Village, but the Red Sand Scorpion is significantly older, but there are really no other talented people in Sand Hidden Village.

Apart from the Crimson Sand Scorpion, there is really only one person to mention, Ma Ji.

Further down, there are Uchiha Shisui and Kiden Mangetsu, who are mainly of this age and are of the sub-Silver generation.

There are not that many people worthy of attention, and the age gap with the silver generation is not very big.

Therefore, everyone gave it this title.

Both knew the other's information.

Uchiha Shisui is good at illusions, teleportation techniques, and has the Sharingan.

The ghost lamp is full moon, good at water escape, holding a flounder.

With the defeat of Orochimaru, Kiden Mangetsu also realized that the current situation of the Kiden clan was very bad.

Therefore, Gui Deng Man Yue is very eager to gain fame and relieve the pressure of the Gui Lan clan.

Last time, Ghost Light Full Moon took the initiative to confront Kakashi for this reason.

But after the fight, Ghost Man Yue had to admit that his current strength was not Kakashi's opponent.

Asuma, on the other hand, had completely left the battlefield.

In this case, Ghost Light Full Moon can only target Uchiha Shisui.

A genius of the Uchiha clan.

"liberation!"

A large amount of chakra was poured into the flounder.

A ball of light appeared on the flounder.

The next moment, the ghost lamp full moon threw the light ball on the turtle in the direction of Uchiha Shisui.

Uchiha Shisui's pupils shrank.

"The art of instantaneous body!"

The moment before the light ball landed, Uchiha Shisui stepped away.

"boom!"

A huge explosion sounded.

Uchiha Shisui glanced at the place where the eyeball landed.

"What a powerful force!"

"Is this the Kirigakure Seven Ninja Swordsman?"

Ghost Light Full Moon corrected Uchiha Shisui's statement.

"This is not the Kirigakure Seven Ninja Sword, it is the Ghost Light Seven Ninja Sword."

With one strike, Ghost Light Mangetsu did not pause. Instead, he predicted Uchiha Shisui's possible location and rushed forward in advance.

He jumped up high, picked up the flounder, and slashed at Uchiha Shisui.

Uchiha Shisui raised his head.

"Sharingan!"

Magatama moved in Uchiha Shisui's eyes.

A burst of illusion power fell on Gui Deng Man Yue.

The ghost lamp full moon fell into the illusion and fell to the ground.

Uchiha Shisui breathed a sigh of relief.

But suddenly something felt wrong.

"Water escape, water iron cannon technique!"

Uchiha Shisui dodged with all his strength.

However, after all, the distance was too close.

"Pfft!"

However, Uchiha Shisui avoided the vital part, and Ghost Mangetsu's water iron cannon technique grazed the side of Uchiha Shisui's thigh and took away a piece of flesh.

A wound appeared and blood flowed out.

Gui Deng Man Yue showed a regretful expression.

"pity."

Uchiha Shisui simply treated the wound and looked at Ghost Lantern Full Moon with confusion in his eyes.

"What did you just do?"

Just like Uchiha Shisui knows the water transformation technique of Kito Mangetsu, Kito Mangetsu also knows Uchiha Shisui's genjutsu.

Therefore, while leaping high, Ghost Lantern Full Moon had already used the hydration technique on himself.

But it only partially hydrates.

Blocks the transmission of vision to the brain.

This means that even if Kiden Mangetsu opens his eyes and looks at Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan, none of these images are actually transmitted to Kiden Mangetsu's mind.

Naturally, there will be no illusion.

After landing, Gui Leng Man Yue was dispelling the water transformation technique, pretending to be under an illusion.

This was used to paralyze Uchiha Shisui.

Ghost Light Full Moon did not answer Uchiha Shisui, but just said.

"Uchiha Shisui, you are more difficult to deal with than I expected."

"But, I have a reason to kill you!"

"continue!"

Ghost Lantern Full Moon rushed towards Uchiha Shisui again.

high places.

Two figures stood.

Danzo looked at the root ninja next to him.

"Yakura has been attracted over there?"

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

Danzo nodded.

"Then the only ninjas that need attention here are Kisame Kisaki, Suikoyama Fugu Oni, and that one, Izumo Oniden."

"However, given the situation of the Oni Tou clan, when Oni Tou Mangetsu is in the middle of a fierce battle, it is unlikely that Oni Tou Izumo will take the initiative to support the other side of Kisame Kisame and Suikoyama Fugu Oni."

"Now is the best opportunity."

"Pass my order, move!"

With Danzo's order, a large number of Konoha ninjas began to move.

"Kill!"

If you don't have enough strength, then make up for it with numbers.

On the battlefield of the Land of Fire, Konoha does have the advantage of numbers.

In itself, the population of Konoha is larger than that of the Hidden Mist Village.

What's more, the Blood Mist Village of the Hidden Mist Village eliminated many people.

And these people from Konoha, who were considered cannon fodder in the Blood Mist Village, all survived.

"Senior Pufferfish Ghost, something seems wrong."

Kisame Hoshigaki pierced the throat of a Konoha ninja, looked around, and felt something was wrong.

"Indeed."

The Pufferfish Ghost nodded.

"It must be that Shimura Danzo who designed something."

"In terms of strength, Shimura Danzo is not as good as Orochimaru, but in terms of insidiousness, he is only above Orochimaru."

"I'll go up there to see the situation."

After saying that, the Pufferfish Ghost made a seal.

"Water Style, Water Dragon Bullet Technique."

It was not an attack, but a light jump to the top of the water dragon.

After that, the water dragon rushed up suddenly and reached the sky.

Xiguashan Puffer Ghost looked down.

The Water Dragon Bullet Technique of ordinary water style ninjas could not reach this level and could not be maintained for a long time.

But the Puffer Ghost, who possessed the water dragon, could do it.

After seeing the situation below clearly, the Puffer Ghost's face became ugly in an instant.

"We are surrounded."

"There are many Konoha ninjas hiding around."

"This is a trap!"

"We must break out."

"Senior Yagura must be held back somewhere else."

"Kisame, this is coming for us."

The Puffer Ghost landed and his expression became very serious.

If it were him and Hoshigaki Kisame, both of them would have the means to try to leave.

The Puffer Ghost's Water Dragon Bullet.

The Hoshigaki Kisame's Big Same Bullet.

But Danzo also knew this.

Therefore, they deliberately surrounded some other Mist Ninjas.

They clearly had the power to kill them quickly, but they surrounded them without killing them.

They wanted to use the lives of these people to contain Hoshigaki Kisame and Xiguashan Puffer Ghost.

"We must make a breakthrough."

Hoshigaki Kisame nodded.

"Okay, Puffer Ghost Senior, I will cooperate with you."

Then, Hoshigaki Kisame made a seal.

"Water escape, Explosive Water Wave Technique!"

A strong stream of water rushed up, more and more.

In an instant, it turned the area into a small lake.

"Water escape, Water Fang Bullet Technique!"

Puffer Ghost raised the water dragon possession.

"Copy!"

"Copy!"

Hundreds of water bullets appeared.

"Go!"

After that, they all shot in one direction.

Danzo's eyes flickered.

"With one seal, so many water bullets can be made..."

"Is this the ability of the water dragon?"

"Indeed, it is extraordinary."

"The Hidden Mist Village cannot have more ninja swords like this."

"No wonder they can defeat Orochimaru."

"No wonder they can defeat Manja."

"But this time I have made sufficient preparations."

"My plan, Danzo, is absolutely foolproof."

Then I saw a team of earth escape ninjas coming to support quickly.

"Earth escape, earth flow wall technique!"

Multiple earth walls were erected in an instant.

At the same time, two ninjas from the Yamanaka clan appeared.

"Heart turning technique!"

Then.

"Shadow binding technique!"

Continuous control methods fell, and even the illusion of the Uchiha clan.

The pufferfish ghost dodged to a relatively safe position in time, but Hoshigaki Kisame was too young and inexperienced after all.

"Kisame!"

Danzo smiled.

At this moment

Not far away, Mangetsu Kizuki, who was fighting with Uchiha Shisui, heard the screams of the Kirigakure ninja.

After hesitating for a moment, he took an attack from Uchiha Shisui and did not fight back. Instead, he used the recoil force to support the direction where the Kirigakure ninja screamed.

Uchiha Shisui was stunned for a moment and forgot to chase.

"Water escape, water iron cannon technique!"

Mangetsu Kizuki did not hesitate to attack directly after seeing the situation at the scene.

The Konoha ninjas focused their attention on the inside.

To the outside, they relaxed their vigilance for a while.

Mangetsu Kizuki's water iron cannon technique pierced through two Konoha ninjas at once.

"Be careful!"

The Konoha ninja next to him realized it and quickly attacked Mangetsu Kizuki.

Danzo frowned slightly.

"A little kid... from the Mangetsu clan?"

Mangetsu Izumo saw Mangetsu Kizuki's actions and sighed.

Step by step, he walked towards the Konoha ninja.

"Originally I didn't want to take action."

"But now, I will show you the power of the Thunder Blade."

"Remember, Hoshigaki Kisame, Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost, the one who saved you this time was Izumo Hozumi, one of the Hozumi Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and he used the Thunder Blade, one of the Hozumi Seven Ninja Swordsmen!"
