Chapter 110: Orochimaru's Doubts
The words of this intelligence ninja were quickly recognized by others.
Although Konoha is now at war with the Rock Ninja and the Grass Ninja, everyone knows that as long as the Rock Ninja is defeated, the Grass Ninja who can only wave flags and shout will immediately seek peace...
"Jiraiya, it seems that today's daily combat meeting can be ended." Orochimaru, as usual, quickly proposed to adjourn the meeting without interest.
With this time, he might as well study the experimental data, or wander around the territory of the Grass Country in disguise.
See if we can encounter anything interesting...
"Okay, since there's nothing special, let's adjourn."
Jiraiya supported his chin with one hand, looked at Orochimaru with a strange look, and then finally seemed to remember something, and told the intelligence ninja: "The Jinchuriki of the Rock Ninja has not shown up yet, so you need to pay more attention."
"Also, the perception ninjas responsible for patrolling the periphery of the camp must not slack off. Using earth escape ninjutsu to launch a surprise attack is a common trick of the Rock Ninja..."
"Understood."
"Yes, Lord Jiraiya."
The team leaders responded at the same time and dispersed.
When Orochimaru followed behind and was about to leave, Jiraiya behind him called him: "Wait a minute, Orochimaru."
"Come with me for a walk, and take a look at the camp of the logistics and medical department."
When Orochimaru heard the voice, his heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head in surprise, and found Jiraiya smiling heartily and walking up to him.
Without waiting for him to object, he patted his shoulder and walked out of the tent first.
The two of them had actually arrived at the front for several days, but Orochimaru always felt that something was wrong with Jiraiya.
Because there was no war for the time being, most of the time, Jiraiya kept him by his side for various reasons.
Either to patrol or to go out for reconnaissance together.
It seemed that he was deliberately not given free time to be alone, which was a very strange thing. Although the relationship between the three ninjas was not as close as before, Jiraiya did not seem to be the kind of chatterbox.
Seeing that Jiraiya had already walked out, he had no choice but to follow him.
After the two of them passed through the front-line station, they went straight to the logistics department in the rear. Along the way, there were neat tents on both sides, as well as those Konoha ninjas in combat units.
When they met the legendary three ninjas head-on, many Konoha ninjas cast awe-inspiring glances.
There were also some people who greeted them.
"Jiraiya, we don't need to go together to inspect the camp of the logistics and medical department, right?"
The two of them did not walk side by side, but walked one after the other.
Both sides had their own thoughts, and Orochimaru finally couldn't help asking.
"Why? It's a truce now, do you have anything important to do?"
Jiraiya smiled when he heard it.
His casual tone did not make people see the slightest abnormality, and Orochimaru frowned, and he could not refute this, so he had to fall silent.
After all, he couldn't say that he wanted to study the data of human experiments, right?
Jiraiya didn't care about Orochimaru's indifference. He had an idea and wanted to break the dull atmosphere, so he suddenly asked: "I heard that you have become very interested in various forbidden techniques in the past few years."
"I have also collected a few interesting ninjutsu privately. I will show them to you after I come back from the inspection."
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.
When Orochimaru suddenly heard Jiraiya mention the word "forbidden technique", he suddenly became alert in his heart, but when he looked at Jiraiya, the latter still had a hearty smile.
Just like the stupid Jiraiya in the past, he didn't seem to care about what he meant.
Could it be that the forbidden technique he was studying on human experiments was discovered?
No, Jiraiya has never been the kind of person who would use words to test, he is extremely insidious and has a deep mansion. If he knew the content of his private experiments, he probably wouldn't ask him like this.
After a brief thought, Orochimaru still determined that Jiraiya asked this question should not be because he discovered his experiment.
"Really? Then I am indeed interested."
Orochimaru suddenly smiled and asked casually, pretending to be unintentional: "It's been many years since we last met the three ninjas of Konoha. How did you know that I am interested in forbidden techniques now?"
As he spoke, he also quickened his pace and caught up with Jiraiya.
The two walked side by side.
Jiraiya obviously didn't expect that the information that Minato Namikaze accidentally revealed to him was actually true.
Orochimaru is really obsessed with forbidden techniques now.
He originally wanted to answer immediately, but he remembered Minato Namikaze's instructions before leaving, so he had to find another excuse to prevaricate: "Well, I just heard it from hearsay."
After that, Jiraiya smiled a little awkwardly.
However, the three ninjas knew each other very well after all. Orochimaru saw at a glance that Jiraiya was obviously not telling the truth, and this was probably perfunctory.
He was very concerned about where this hearsay came from.
Although he was thinking deeply, Orochimaru looked calm on his face. He didn't dwell on this topic and said, "Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about the war."
"I heard that the Four-Tails Jinchūriki of the Rock Ninja, Lao Zi, left the village because of a disagreement with the Tsuchikage."
"The Five-Tails man who replaced him is a young man.
What do you know about this guy? If you guessed correctly, we should be facing him in this war. "
Jiraiya shook his head, saying that he didn't quite understand either.
"To be honest, I have never fought against the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki. In the war a few years ago, I was not on the battlefield here. At that time, it was the fourth generation who took the lead in repelling the Iwa Ninja's attack."
Without knowing the enemy's information, it would be very disadvantageous to fight.
As a Sannin who has experienced hundreds of battles, he naturally understands this better. Even so, of course they wouldn't be too afraid. Han was just a junior to them.
However, Jiraiya suddenly said: "Although I don't know much, the Yondaime did give me some information before leaving."
"It is said that the Five-Tails Jinchuuriki seems to be a strong man who can control steam to enhance strength and speed.
He is a taijutsu-type ninja who can use boiling style. "
The fourth generation?
Orochimaru suddenly felt agitated when he heard Namikaze Minato's name.
Some time ago, in his human experiments, the fourth generation set up a trap and captured the manipulator of the experimental subjects and defeated him in another field.
As a result, his experiment was temporarily terminated. Just when he was about to find another way to obtain experimental subjects, he was sent to the battlefield.
At this time, he suddenly heard Jiraiya mention the Yondaime. For some reason, he suddenly figured out that perhaps the news about his research on forbidden arts was probably learned by Jiraiya from Namikaze Minato.
After coming to the battlefield, Jiraiya became abnormal.
Orochimaru couldn't help but suddenly have a thought in his mind: Could it be that his human experimentation behavior has been suspected by the fourth generation?
