However, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not die, and Orochimaru's work was in vain!

In the ninja world, the only people who can make Orochimaru silently give without asking for anything in return are Sarutobi, Jiraiya and Tsunade. No one else can do that. So Duke wants to team up with Orochimaru, the poisonous nurse, and accompany him to the Akatsuki organization for a while, but it is impossible without paying a price.

The Land of Rivers! There are many mountains, waters, and trees, and the moist soil is very suitable for snakes to thrive. One of Orochimaru's secret bases was built here.

Because he offended so many people, Orochimaru had to change his base every now and then, resulting in more and more bases being built, and he himself didn't even know how many bases he had.

It was only because Duke had been in constant private contact with him, otherwise it would not be certain that he could be found.

This base in the River Country is Orochimaru's recent stop. The location is a bit remote, and there are many traps and poisonous insects set up on the periphery. Orochimaru is always cautious.

When Duke walked to the gate of the base, there were people waiting there for a long time. They were the Five Sound Ninjas, a popular group of Sound Ninjas composed of four cannon fodders and Kaguya Kimimaro.

Duke was very satisfied with the result of the trip after recruiting three strong men. He took the summoning snake with him, agreed on a time with Orochimaru, and left.

Duke shook his head at the strange train of thought. He followed Kimimaro around the base and soon met the real Orochimaru. Hashira was also there. He hadn't seen him for a while and he became even more arrogant. He carried a Kusanagi sword and looked very arrogant. He was just short of writing "I'm very strong, don't mess with me."

Orochimaru obviously understood this and shook his head without commenting: "I know Akatsuki. The leader is ambitious and will never show his ambitions before he is fully prepared, so I am not worried about my safety at all. Besides, no one can kill me."

"I thought you would agree right away! I am very clear about the dirty tricks between you and Akatsuki. They will not let go of any traitor. There is no harm in you joining forces with me." The art of conversation is to always occupy the high ground, let the other party follow your logic, and make the other party feel that there is something sweet to be gained.

As expected, Orochimaru's pupils suddenly shrank, and he said in a hoarse voice: "So you already knew it?" "Not only that, I also know that you joined Akatsuki organization just for the pair of Samsara eyes." Duke once again dealt a critical blow to Orochimaru.

Bang! Orochimaru slammed the table and stood up, his evil chakra became wild and agitated, and his golden snake eyes were full of disbelief. Surprise, anger, astonishment, regret and other emotions were endless, but the most regretful was that Jiraiya got there first.

Nizhuzi had studied in the snake den for two years. He didn't learn the double-dealing skills of Orochimaru, but his famous skill of jutsu was even better. He just nodded when he saw Duke. Duke didn't care. Except for Naruto and Itachi, it was difficult for Nizhuzi to look at others differently. Besides, he came here to find Orochimaru.

"Lord Duke!" The five people were very polite.

With such detailed intelligence, they must be preparing to take down the Akatsuki in one fell swoop. Orochimaru was very curious about who Duke had found. In addition to Jiraiya, maybe Tsunade, and then what? The third generation?

"I am always ready to be Lord Orochimaru's strength, but now he has a better choice." Kimimaro's face was gloomy. He could not be loyal to Orochimaru and his interest was a little low.

A few years ago, Duke sent Sasuke to Orochimaru, and the four cannon fodders didn't die. As for Kimimaro, it was Orochimaru who asked Duke to deal with the formalities. Looking at the ninja world, except for the Yang escape that Duke got from the Six Paths Sage, no one can cure Kimimaro, not even Tsunade.

There was no need to be so polite when communicating with Orochimaru, just get straight to the point, as long as the benefits were sufficient, Orochimaru didn't care who the partner was. Duke didn't even say a word of greeting, he made it clear what he was here for, asking Orochimaru to join him in destroying the Akatsuki organization.

“……” Orochimaru.

Just as Nizhuzi was about to agree, he was interrupted by Orochimaru: "Duke-kun, Sasuke is my beloved disciple, you should have asked me first!"

"when?"

No, if he was really a student taught by Jiraiya, why are his values ​​so different from Jiraiya’s?

Orochimaru read all the information with trembling hands, especially the Rinnegan. The ability of Pain's Six Paths left him speechless for a long time.

"The leader you are talking about is the Rinnegan named Pain?" Duke curled his lips. The advantage of a time traveler is that he is familiar with the plot. Sometimes, just by moving his mouth, he will give people a feeling of being unfathomable.

After a while, Orochimaru quietly put the scroll away and asked tentatively: "The intelligence clearly states the capabilities of everyone in the Akatsuki organization. Even without me, you can defeat them one by one. But compared to these, I am more curious about the source of your intelligence. Do you have a spy planted in the Akatsuki organization?"

Duke skipped over the four bento faces and looked at Kimimaro, who seemed to be born unable to smile: "Kimimaro, I didn't expect you were still alive. I thought Orochimaru was using your body now."

Duke did not answer the question, but pointed out: "After the matter is completed, the Samsara Eye will be yours, how about it?"

"Come to think of it, you may not know this, but many years ago, you could have obtained the Rinnegan within your reach, but you just didn't pay attention at the time." Duke patiently advised, constantly revealing information to confuse Orochimaru's thoughts.

"Teacher Duke, the Akatsuki organization you are talking about, is it the organization Itachi belongs to?" Jiraiya said angrily.

Duke was well prepared for this. He took out a scroll from his arms and threw it to Orochimaru. On it was the information of all the members of Akatsuki organization. Almost everyone was written down, even Orochimaru's detailed information was included.

Duke was not in a hurry. He glanced at the pharmacist next to him, who tactfully brought him a cup of tea. Duke drank his tea while waiting for Orochimaru to speak.

"That's right!" Duke looked up and down at Sasuke, and when the other party was getting nervous, he suddenly asked, "Sasuke, do you want to go with us?"

Orochimaru's vision is one of the most piercing in Naruto. No matter if it is Kaguya or Uchiha, the targets he values, their bloodline points directly to the final BOSS.

Orochimaru was stunned when he heard this. He knew better than anyone how powerful Akatsuki was. Instead, the fearless Jyouko jumped out. There was a person he cared about the most in Akatsuki.

Orochimaru was tempted. The price was not low, enough for him to take any risk. However, being led by the nose all the time was not his style, so he continued, "Besides the two of us, who else did you find?"

"During the Second Ninja World War, in the Land of Rain, Sensei Jiraiya took in three orphans and taught them ninjutsu for three years..." Duke paused for a moment, raised his eyes and smiled slyly: "Among them, the red-haired boy has the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan. He is the current leader of the Akatsuki organization."

This is probably a tough one, the old man can't fight anymore! Duke called out a few names, and Orochimaru was stunned when he heard them. He looked at Duke with an indescribable weirdness. Duke was very pleased with this, and reached out to point to Nizhuzi and Kimimaro, who could serve as substitutes.

Back in Konoha Village, Duke went to find Jiraiya according to the list, but the old pervert had gone somewhere. He was nowhere to be found in the hot springs, waterfalls, and rivers, where the three beauties frequently appeared. Duke thought he had gone to the Hokage's office and turned into an electric fan to peek from the ceiling. Tsunade told him that Jiraiya had taken Naruto to Myoboku Mountain for training.

"Are you in such a hurry to buff Naruto?" Duke's eyes lit up. Since he had brought Nijigas along, there was no reason to leave Naruto behind. Naruto would be very powerful after learning the Sage Mode.

Duke's heart surged at the thought of adding another hacker to the team. He rushed home and took Minato to Myoboku Mountain, along with Kushina.

Duke didn't know whether Minato and Kushina had told Naruto their true identities after all these years of getting along, but it didn't matter. The time was ripe and it was time to announce it honestly.
