Chapter 300: Orochimaru also wants to participate in the Sand Village collapse plan
Jiraiya had already made up his mind to take the blame if the truth came to light, and then let the Fourth Hokage take the position again. He thought there was nothing wrong with Shikaku's plan and approved it immediately.
Utane Koharu, Mito Kado En, and Shimura Danzo are all unaware of the conspiracy on their side. Jiraiya gathers relevant personnel outside the village, that is, in Kurama Yakumo's house, under the guise of treating Kurama Yakumo's illness. The preliminary preparations are almost ready, and Ino needs to release Namikaze Minato's soul.
Tsunade, Ino, Shizune, Kakashi, Shikaku, and Kurama Yakumo who served as a tool were all there.
Jiraiya coughed and finally arrived. Not only did he come himself, he also brought a man in a black robe and a black hood.
"Orochimaru! Jiraiya, what are you going to do?" Even with her face blocked, Tsunade could still recognize her former companion. She quickly protected Ino and Shizune behind her.
Kakashi and Shikaku both took defensive actions.
Orochimaru chuckled twice and took off his hood.
"Tsunade, Kakashi, Shikaku, everyone here seems to be familiar. Is that black-haired girl Duan's niece?" He finally looked at Ino: "Oh, it's you. We met during the Chunin Exam. You're a very strong water-style ninja."
He paused, his heart full of curiosity: "Can you tell me how you made a deal with the god of death?"
He thought about this problem for a long time and felt that it should not be difficult, but he just didn't grasp the trick.
In order to get the answer to this question, he took a huge risk, ran away from Danzo, and persuaded Jiraiya to join the whole plan.
Tsunade shouted angrily, "What the hell is going on? Jiraiya, I need an explanation!"
Jiraiya quickly comforted him and said that Orochimaru would always be under his surveillance and he would be responsible if anything went wrong.
"In fact, the Orochimaru you know is already dead. That life experience has now become my memory, stored in my mind." Orochimaru pointed to his head: "I am no longer interested in destroying Konoha. You can trust me to a limited extent."
He looked at Tsunade provocatively: "We can fight side by side again, aren't you happy?"
"I don't believe a word you say!" Tsunade said angrily.
Jiraiya coughed, "Orochimaru provided us with all the information about the Akatsuki organization. He said that Sasori assassinated the Third Kazekage and made him into a human puppet. We didn't know this information before. He also said that there is a guy named Zetsu in the Akatsuki organization. That ninja has incredible intelligence gathering capabilities. Orochimaru is currently useful to us. Oh? Oh!"
Before he could finish his words, Tsunade forcibly pulled him aside.
The two of them whispered to each other for a long time before Tsunade's expression gradually relaxed.
After all, the relationship between the three ninjas is actually very subtle, far less pure than that of Team 7.
The Third Hokage accepted Tsunade as his apprentice. There are too many political factors involved!
Does Tsunade need the Third Hokage as a teacher? No.
Did the Third Hokage need a disciple like Tsunade? He definitely needed one! Orochimaru was the Third Hokage's most valued disciple, followed by Jiraiya.
Tsunade has a good relationship with Jiraiya, and Orochimaru also has a good relationship with Jiraiya, but the relationship between Tsunade and Orochimaru is relatively average.
Ever since Rope Tree became Orochimaru's apprentice and was subsequently killed by an explosive tag, the two have not had much interaction. As for the death of the Third Hokage, Tsunade can only feel sympathy, not anger, and it is even more impossible for her to avenge the Third Hokage.
Orochimaru is not a good person, so is the Third Hokage a good person? In Tsunade's opinion, there is not much difference between the two.
Her anger is more superficial. If you don't mind, then I don't care either.
"You want him to go to the Sand Village with us? Are you kidding?" Tsunami asked, pointing at Orochimaru.
Jiraiya sighed heavily, "He will gather some of his men to help attract the attention of the Sand Village. We will also have an excuse afterwards. This is also part of the deal."
Tsunade smiled, a very bright smile: "Whichever side wants to carry out the collapse plan, he will follow, right? You two are really funny!"
Jiraiya looked at Ino, "Orochimaru wants his soul back."
Ino refused decisively: "Impossible, I haven't prepared so many sacrifices. The most I can do today is to exchange for the soul of the Fourth Hokage."
Jiraiya gave Orochimaru a look and said, "Look, you asked me to help you speak, and I asked for you, but they couldn't do it. So it has nothing to do with me."
Orochimaru didn't even look at him, but stared at Ino: "What price do I have to pay to get my soul back?"
He didn't know what kind of ninjutsu, secret technique or bloodline limit Ino used. Facing a ninja who could chat and laugh with the god of death and even bargain, he put the other party in the same position as himself.
With the help of Danzo's manpower and supplies, he did a lot of research on Death Gods during this period. The more he studied, the more he felt that it contained a lot of secret knowledge.
In his opinion, Ino must have mastered this knowledge, at least in part.
A wise man is his teacher. He doesn't mind lowering his posture to ask for advice and to trade.
Ino looked at Tsunade first.
Tsunade shook her head, meaning that no matter what decision you make, it has nothing to do with me.
She looked at Jiraiya again.
Jiraiya pursed his lips and said nothing.
Ino looked Orochimaru up and down carefully.
Orochimaru must have a lot of good things in his hands. The broken horn of the Eight-Tails is in one of his secret bases. Even Kabuto doesn't know the exact location. Unfortunately, the timing is not right now.
She thought for a moment and asked, "What was the giant gate you summoned when you resisted my explosive power?"
The current Orochimaru is actually a replica of the life information he left in Anko Mitarashi's body. It is a replica of the moment before he betrayed the village, so he is not that evil. The experiences afterwards are more like a familiar yet unfamiliar memory to him. He recalled it carefully.
"That's Rashomon." He glanced at Tsunade and said, "It was once the summoning tool of the first Hokage, and then the old man gave it to me by the third Hokage."
Ino held out her hand to him: "Give me that spiritual scroll, and I will let the god of death return your soul to you."
Is it that simple?! Orochimaru didn't expect that the key item was on him. What a loss!
It's so frustrating not to master core technology.
Unfortunately, without Ino, the "black intermediary", he wouldn't know how to use this thing himself. It's a typical case of being unable to find the temple door even with a pig's head.
"Okay!" He opened his mouth and quickly spit out a sticky psychic scroll.
Ino was a little disgusted, but still reached out to open it, signed her name, and then used summoning techniques.
Orochimaru could only summon triple Rashomon, but Ino had much more chakra than him, and when the smoke cleared, five giant gates with evil spirit heads appeared.
She took a look and found that the smell was right. This was the gate of the Death God Lao Tie's house. (End of this chapter)
