"Rope, Nawaki?!"
Orochimaru's pupils dilated and he stared at the figure in the building called the third division team building.
She has short brown hair and two conspicuous red cheeks.
This...isn't this who Nawaki is?
As Tsunade's classmate and Nawaki's teacher, he thought that he would never be able to recognize Nawaki's appearance.
B...
Isn't Nawaki dead?
Right before his eyes, he witnessed Nawaki stepping into a trap set by the enemy and being blown up to death by countless detonating talismans!
B...
Who is this person in front of me?
Is it really Nawaki?
He then remembered that Tsunade had heard Nawaki's voice before, and even wanted to come to the Country of Whirlpool, and then he realized that Tsunade really heard it right!
Nawaki is really here!
Suddenly, he was startled.
He remembered the Rukongai that the woman next to him had introduced to him before.
Before meeting Nawaki, Yin She felt that she must be deceiving him.
Bt…
Orochimaru's heart sank, is it the residence of ghosts...
This is actually true!
In other words, the residents we saw before are also ghosts?!
Could it be that people from the ninja world will come to Rukongai in the Land of Whirlpool and serve as ministers after death?
Orochimaru took a deep breath and asked: "Vice Captain Niyinmu, that boy over there, do you know his name?"
Niyinmeng looked over and said hesitantly: "It should be, Senju... Nawaki?"
really!
Orochimaru was shocked.
The whole body suddenly trembled slightly with excitement.
Nawaki is not dead!
No, Nawaki is dead, but has started a new life in the Land of Whirlpool as a ghost!
But what excited him the most was that he seemed to have caught a glimpse of the secret of the Kingdom of Whirlpool!
Although Nawaki is in a ghost state now, it is obvious that he has become a member of the third team.
In other words, the souls here have the qualifications to become Shinigami!
So, is it possible that all Shinigami in the Land of Uzumaki are actually made up of dead people?
The Kingdom of Whirlpool gives new life to the dead and gives them new power, allowing them to fight for the Kingdom of Whirlpool!
In this way, it is very reasonable for the Kingdom of Whirlpool to suddenly rise again after it was destroyed!
Because they didn't really die!
Orochimaru took a deep look at Nawaki who was talking to his sword, and then followed Nirvana's footsteps.
He didn't talk to Nawaki rashly.
After all, this is the territory of the Kingdom of Whirlpool, and he will not do anything extraordinary without the owner's permission.
What's more, he also came to discuss the Nine Tails Jinchūriki as an envoy of Konoha this time.
Don't do unnecessary things, lest you ruin Konoha's big events.
But the discovery of the Whirlpool Kingdom still made his heart beat faster.
He was even thinking that since people will become ghosts after death and come to the Kingdom of Whirlpool, should he try to commit suicide when he returns to Konoha?
He is really curious about the difference between him after becoming a soul and now.
And maybe you can enroll in the Spiritual Arts Academy, learn those Muji Ninjutsu, and get one of those magical swords.
But after all, he was just thinking about it.
What puzzled him was that why didn't Nawaki return to Konoha even though he didn't die in the real sense?
Didn't even go back to see Tsunade?
Bury this doubt in your heart.
Since Nawaki lives a good life here, there is no need to worry about these things.
But if he tells Tsunade about Nawaki after returning to Konoha, I'm afraid Tsunade will go crazy and come to the country of whirlpool.
But that's none of his business.
Soon, under the leadership of Nianyinmeng.
The two came to a gate full of technology.
Niyinmu introduced: "This is the Technology Development Bureau, a place used to develop Shinigami skills, research souls and voids, and develop some inventive props.
Orochimaru's eyes lit up, isn't this the Konoha Research Institute?
Since witnessing Nawaki's death, Yin Zhi has decided to start researching technology to extend life.
The soul was a research direction he thought of.
But it has been hampered by the war in the Kingdom of Rain, so it has not yet taken action.
He didn't expect that the Kingdom of Whirlpool would conduct research on the soul one step ahead of him.
Moreover, it is the country of Uzumaki that allows souls to stay in the country of Uzumaki and allows the souls to become Shinigami.
Obviously, their research on the soul will be more in-depth!
Maybe there are already relevant research results!
It's a pity that he will never see this kind of research results.
Niyinmeng suddenly said: "Want to go in and take a look?"
Orochimaru opened his eyes slightly and fell silent.
Such an important place could be allowed to be visited by an outsider like him?
He immediately doubted the purpose of the Whirlpool Kingdom.
However, his thirst for knowledge still made him unable to hold back.
"May I?"
Niyinmeng's expression did not change, and she said calmly: "Please come in.
The door opened, and Yishi suddenly became enlightened.
Researchers in white coats walked around inside.
The entire Technology Development Bureau has a sense of science fiction that is incompatible with the ninja world.
There are even many devices that Orochimaru has never seen before.
Niyinmeng took him around casually.
Of course, some important places were not shown to Orochimaru.
But Orochimaru's eyes were still wide open and he was enjoying seeing it.
Although he couldn't understand what most of them were for.
But there were some things he knew.
For example, in a certain laboratory, there is research on cloning life.
This research made him clench his hands excitedly.
There is also a device that can explore the ninja world through a screen.
The picture in it shows the battle between those monsters called Hollows and Cloud Shinobi in the Kingdom of Thunder.
When Orochimaru came out of the Technology Development Bureau, he felt completely lost.
The Country of Whirlpool seems to be living in two different worlds from the rest of the ninja world.
Even Konoha, which is the number one ninja village in the ninja world, can't keep up with the shooting.
Even everything here was deeply attracting him.
Especially the mystery of the soul!
Orochimaru took a deep breath to calm down his frantic heart.
He is still from Konoha, and he is also a disciple trained by Teacher Sarutobi himself. He cannot let down Teacher Sarutobi's cultivation of him.
It's almost time to walk around Seireitei.
Nirvana finally brought Orochimaru to the high-rise building he had looked up at when he first entered.
Division 13 Headquarters Building!
Nieyin Meng said: "Let's go, come with me to see Lord Spirit King."
Orochimaru's heart sank, a little nervous.
Is this mysterious Spirit King of the Whirlpool Kingdom finally going to see his true face?
Entering the headquarters building, a chilling atmosphere instantly enveloped him.
On one side of the hall, powerful figures stood quietly, each one giving him a feeling of hair standing on end.
It seemed as if he would die if he acted rashly.
According to Konoha's intelligence, Orochimaru quickly understood that these should be the captains of the Country of Whirlpool.
-==...
Only four of them showed up...
Doesn't the Kingdom of Whirlpool have thirteen divisions?
Have all the other captains gone on missions?
Orochimaru guessed in his mind, and then looked up at the position of the Aries.
With just one glance, Orochimaru's pupils shrank.
The eye-catching red hair instantly allowed him to confirm the identity of the person in front of him.
The Spirit King of the Country of Whirlpool is indeed the Uzumaki clan!
All of Konoha's previous guesses were confirmed!
While Orochimaru was shocked in his heart, he said respectfully on the surface: "Orochimaru, the envoy from Konoha, has met the Soul King!"
Uzumaki Chihiro said calmly: "Orochimaru, what do you think of our country of whirlpool?"
Orochimaru was shocked and didn't understand the purpose of the Soul King's question, but he still said respectfully:
"The Kingdom of Whirlpool has prosperous buildings, beautiful environment, and many special places. It is a very magical country!"
Uzumaki Chihiro chuckled and said: "Are you interested in working in our Country of Whirlpool? The Technology Development Bureau of our Country of Whirlpool still lacks a director.
Orochimaru's heart skipped a beat!
Poaching!
But his heart suddenly moved!
There are souls everywhere in the Kingdom of Whirlpool, and they can even serve as the director of the Technology Development Bureau!
He took a deep breath and declined this extremely tempting invitation.
"Sorry, Lord Soul King, i am still a ninja in Konoha.
Oh, that means we can just wait, right?
Uzumaki Chihiro chuckled in his heart, it was really interesting.
Inviting Orochimaru to the Land of Whirlpool, Uzumaki Chihiro also thought carefully.
And he's not afraid of Orochimaru becoming a 25-year-old.
As long as he dares to agree, he needs to pass the Shinigami job transfer scroll to become Shinigami.
If Ichi changes his job and becomes Shinigami, then he will no longer have any bad thoughts towards him.
This is the power that the Soul King has over Shinigami under the system settings.
Just a thought can easily control the life and death of Shinigami!
Since Orochimaru declined his invitation, Uzumaki Chihiro did not continue the topic.
The reaction has planted a seed in Orochimaru's heart, and even led him to look at the Technology Development Bureau's research projects on souls and life.
He couldn't believe that Orochimaru was not moved by this.
One day, Orochimaru will come to your doorstep.
"In that case, let's tell you what Konoha sent you to do."
Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that if he refused the invitation, the Soul King would become angry and ask these captains to beat him to death.
Orochimaru said: "This visit to the Country of Uzumaki is for Uzumaki Kushina."
He said seriously: "Uzumaki Kushina is of great significance to me, Konoha. We, Konoha, are willing to pay any price to keep Uzumaki Kushina. I hope that Lord Soul King will fulfill her wish!"
Uzumaki Chihiro plays with taste: "At any cost?"
Orochimaru said seriously: "Any price!"
"Then give Konoha to us, the Country of Whirlpool."
"Uh... I'm afraid this won't work."
Orochimaru was embarrassed, he said any price, just to make it sound nice, how dare this Soul King really want it!
Uzumaki Chihiro chuckled and said: "Didn't you say there is any price?"
Orochimaru broke into a cold sweat and could only bite the bullet and said: "This is really not possible..."
Uzumaki Chihiro said without interest: "Since Konoha is not sincere, let's forget it and see the guests off.
"etc!"
Orochimaru wanted to say something more, but was looked at indifferently by several captains.
Then he wisely shut his mouth.
Just when Orochimaru was about to step out of the headquarters door, Uzumaki Chihiro said: "I only give Konoha three days. If I can't see Kushina in the Country of Uzumaki after three days, then I, the Country of Uzumaki, will have to go and get it myself."
"At that time, don't blame me, the Kingdom of Whirlpool, for being ruthless..."
Orochimaru's heart tightened. Even after leaving the headquarters, the Spirit King's voice still echoed in his ears.
This time, I'm afraid it's going to happen for real
Got it!
At the same time, he also understood that Konoha would never hand over Uzumaki Kushina!
There must be a battle between the Kingdom of Whirlpool and Konoha!
After leaving the land of Whirlpool Country, Orochimaru felt a little lost.
Especially the souls of Rukongai showed his desire to study immediately.
In the evening, Orochimaru returned to Konoha.
The Hokage office held an emergency high-level meeting again.
Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a gloomy face: "You mean, the country of whirlpool refused?"
Orochimaru nodded.
Shimura Danzō snorted coldly and said: "You actually want to exchange Konoha for Uzumaki Kushina [It's really a lion's mouth. I think he has no intention of negotiating in the country of Uzumaki!"
Mad, he didn't even get Konoha, but the country of Whirlpool actually dared to covet his Konoha?!
Shimura Danzō continued: "Stop having any illusions about peace talks, Sarutobi!"
"well"
USE...
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, he also wanted to be tougher!
But now Konoha's conditions don't allow him to get hard!
He pondered for a moment and asked, "Is that Soul King really a member of the Uzumaki clan?"
Orochimaru said: "That bright red hair, and it is from the country of whirlpool. I think there is no other possibility besides the Uzumaki clan, right?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked uncertain. Since the spiritual king in power was from the Uzumaki clan, there might be some room for success if Mito-sama was asked to come forward.
Although the relationship between the Country of Uzumaki and Konoha has broken down, as an Uzumaki clan, we have to give Mito-sama face, right?
Of course, sleepy leaves also have to be prepared with both hands.
He said: "Koharu, how is the barrier team's research on the sealing of time and space ninjutsu going?"
Utatane Koharu said: "Some results have been achieved, but there are no ninjas in Konoha who have mastered the time and space ninjutsu, so it is not clear whether the barrier is really useful."
"Anyway, regardless of whether it's feasible or not, let's arrange it for Konoha first."
If the Kingdom of Whirlpool unreasonably opens a hole in Konoha, it can barely be regarded as a means of restraint.
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while and continued to ask: "Orochimaru, did you find anything when you went to the Country of Whirlpool this time?"
Since the conflict with the Kingdom of Whirlpool is inevitable, try to understand the situation of the Kingdom of Whirlpool so that you can make corresponding strategies.
It's a place I really want to stay.
Orochimaru subconsciously thought of these words.
But obviously, this sentence cannot be said.
He recalled carefully and said: "The buildings in the Kingdom of Whirlpool are very majestic, and the population is very large."
Although he knew that those souls were souls, those souls were also obviously productive, so they were no different from normal people.
As for the soul, Orochimaru didn't say anything.
In addition to my own selfishness, it is also because I would never believe such an outrageous thing unless I saw it with my own eyes!
Even he only listened to it as a story at first.
In fact, just by relying on the fact that people after death will go to Rukongai in the state of soul, Orochimaru understands that the country of whirlpool is already in an invincible position.
Once there is a conflict between Konoha and the Kingdom of Whirlpool, the war will escalate.
After the death, people went to the Kingdom of Whirlpool one after another, and more and more people were beaten.
On the other hand, the Konoha people are fighting less and less, so how can they still fight?
Of course, Orochimaru doesn't know that Rukongai only has a 50% chance of attracting souls.
But even if I knew it, it would still be outrageous.
It's like an endless supply of weapons!
Able to provide troops to the Kingdom of Whirlpool at any time!
But he didn't tell Sarutobi-sensei this either.
Even if you tell them, whether they believe it or not, will Konoha and the Uzumaki Country stop fighting?
Since they are all going to be beaten, telling them this point is just adding to their troubles.
Anyway, if you die, you can live again in Rukongai. Teacher Sarutobi is not young anymore. If you die accidentally, you can go to the Country of Uzumaki to rest.
Of course, it was impossible for him to say such words.
After hearing this, I'm sure Sarutobi Hiruzen will clean up his house.
He deliberately suggested that we should hand over Uzumaki Kushina.
Work hard to improve the sealing technique obtained from the Kingdom of Whirlpool, and it will be enough to use someone else as Jinchūriki.
But he knew that this proposal was unlikely to be accepted by them.
If you have never seen it with your own eyes, you will never know the horror of the Kingdom of Whirlpool!!
