Chapter 436 Information About Orochimaru

Black clouds overwhelmed the city, and it rained continuously.

Amegakure is wafting with a hazy layer of rain, mist and water vapor in the low altitude, which looked beautiful from the higher place.

Deva Path, Konan, Zetsu, Hyōketsu, Orochimaru, and Sasori, were wearing red cloud with black background robes and a mysterious ring in their hands. They stood on the edge of the 22nd floor of the central steel tower, with the beautiful view when looking down.

There was something wrong with the way Akatsuki held the first plenary meeting, but who cares about that?

After a while, Deva Path Pain took the lead to start to talk.

"There are currently six people in the organization, so we will act in groups of two from now on. I will be in a team with Konan, Hyōketsu is in a team with Zetsu, and Orochimaru is in a team with Sasori."

"Wait a minute."

Orochimaru interrupted loudly. His golden vertical pupils stared at Hiruko, and he said with a chuckle, "I don't trust anyone here, so I refuse to form a team."

Konan turned to look at Orochimaru and said, "Although everyone has joined Akatsuki, the time is still too short, and it is too early to talk about trust, this is precisely for this reason that we have to form a team."

Orochimaru sneered and said: "That means... mutual supervision? There is really no trust at all."

"This is to prevent someone from leaking Akatsuki's secrets, and it is also to improve the success rate of the mission. After all, our current main mission is to recruit dangerous Missing-nin from Great Countries. Single-person contact is prone to accidents, isn't it, Orochimaru?" Konan said.

Orochimaru smiled and said nothing.

Indeed, if only Deva Path had contact with him, he might not stop!

"What is Akatsuki's secrets?" Sasori solemnly asked.

After he met with Konan in the Land of Wind, he was recruited into Akatsuki by Konan with a huge amount of money and a large amount of puppet's materials, but he wasn't told about Akatsuki's true goal at all.

"The meaning of Akatsuki's existence is for the peace of the Shinobi World!"

Deva Path recited Akatsuki's short-term plan, mid-term goal, and final goal vividly and emotionally. It's a pity that several 'members' didn't give him face and there was no applause at all.

"Collect the nine Biju, destroy the Five Great Countries' Five Great Shinobi Villages, destroy the old order, let everyone in the Shinobi World feel the pain of losing their loved ones, and rebuild peace on this basis…"

Sasori then said, "It's boring, but doing so will allow me to get enough puppet materials."

"It's crazy. You actually want to snatch the Nine Biju from the Five Great Shinobi Villages…" Orochimaru sneered, and his laughter was hoarse and deep, like metal rubbing from the gutter late at night, piercing and frightening.

"The peace of the Shinobi World… Pain-sama was very full today." Hyōketsu couldn't help but complain.

Konan took a look atHyōketsu when she heard this: 'Very full? In other words, it means 'have nothing to do when you are free', which also means, he is saying Pain is nosy?'

'Although it is very subtle, it is really poisonous!'

Deva Path just stood there. He is a ouppet, he has no feelings, and he is not angry.

"There is no problem, so it is decided." Deva Path said coldly, and then looked towards Zetsu.

Knowing that, Zetsu showed a smile on his face, and slowly said: "Then, our next goal is Kirigakure's S-Rank Missing-nin, formerly one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Biwa Juzo!"

The actor Hyōketsu immediately sneered and said: "That guy also defected?"

Zetsu nodded and said: "After theSeven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist is Konoha were defeated by Konoha's Eternal Genin, Might Duy, their status in Kirigakure plummeted. According to the information, Suikazan Fuguki has taken refuge under Yondaime Mizukage, and Biwa Juzo and Kurosuki Raiga defected from the village, but there is no trace of Kurosuki Raiga."

"Orochimaru, Sasori, I'll leave it to you.." Deva Path ordered.

"Since it is Kirigakure's Missing-nin, Yuki Aoi is very suitable." Orochimaru retorted.

"Isn't he called Yuki Hyōketsu?" Sasori asked in an unhappy tone.

Konan explained: "This is the name he took after joining the organization."

As for whether this organization is Akatsuki or Abyss, that is another topic.

Orochimaru looked at Hyōketsu and sneered silently.

"Zetsu Hyōketsu Team is responsible for intelligence gathering, so I'll give this mission of recruiting Biwa Juzo to you and Sasori." Deva Path said decisively.

Orochimaru and Sasori glance at each other, and nodded in response.

Afterwards, the six people chatted about other trivial issues, such as funds, money, activity funds, etc. Unfortunately, they were all rejected by Konan on the grounds that the organization lacked funds since its establishment.

The other people secretly thought it was a pity.

...

"Is this Konoha? It's so big!!"

Jigumo stood at the gate of Konoha. Watching at the flow of people, and listened to the conversations around, the sound of cars and horses rolling on the road, and the noise in the distance, the one-eyed Jigumo couldn't help but showed a bit of envy.

Looking around, Jigumo saw two Shinobi wearing Konoha's forehead protector standing at the gate of the village. He quickly retracted his gaze, and then entered Konoha while looking steadily forward.

"The next step is to find Shisui of the Body Flicker!"

Although Jigumo is a newcomer, he is very experienced. He first went to the grocery store to buy some cheap small items, and took the opportunity to find out where the Uchiha Clan lived.

When he arrived at the Uchiha Clan's settlement, as a friend of Shisui of the Body Flicker, he humbly inquired about Shisui's home through Uchiha's clansmen.

It's a pity that there is no one at home. Shisui is training with the members of the Anbu's sixth team at the second training ground. It was not until the evening that he dragged his tired body back.

"Shisui-sama!!!"

Seeing Shisui from the distance, Jigumo hurriedly greeted him with a simple and honest smile on his face, but his bald head was a little dazzling.

"You are?" Shisui was startled, showing doubts.

The smile on the face of Jigumo is getting more and more reluctant: "Shisui-sama, I am Jigumo, Fuma Clan's Jigumo, do you still remember the Land of the River…"

Jigumo is almost thirty this year, but facing the teenage Shisui, he could only continue calling him sama, showing his humbleness!

After being reminded by Jigumo, Shisui finally remembered: "It turned out to be you!"

At the beginning, Yui took him and Kanpū to the country of the river to catch the phosphorus insects. During the period, they ran into a Jigumo, but the latter only took lead them for a few days, and apart from this, they have no friendship, so Shisui was confused why Jigumo would suddenly come over to look for him.

'Will it really be like Kanpū said, he's ready to take refuge under me?'

Shisui looked at Jigumo while a little tangled. Jigumo is a guest from afar, so he should invite him to drink tea at his home, but he is afraid that Jigumo would misunderstand what he means.

Jigumo didn't know about Shisui's psychological drama, otherwise, he would have fainted from crying!

"Shisui-sama, I have an important information to report to you!" Jigumo said mysteriously, while looking at the passers-by from time to time.

Shisui still had a smile on his face, and said: "Just say it, this is Konoha, it's okay."

Jigumo felt a bit regretful for not to being able to enter Shisui's house, 'But it's okay, there will be opportunities in the future!'

"Shisui-sama."

Jigumo quietly approached Shisui and said in a low voice, "I have Orochimaru-sama… I have information about the Missing-nin, Orochimaru!"

Shisui's expression froze, his thoughts revolved, and he asked: "He went to the Land of Rivers?"

"As expected of Shisui-sama!"

Jigumo humbly praised, "You guessed it before I said it!"

Shisui frowned slightly and asked: "Apart from Orochimaru, have you seen Jiraiya-sama?"

Jigumo shook his head and said: "But before I left the Land of Rivers, I saw someone fighting the Missing-nin Orochimaru from the distance, and they also used the Four Violet Flames Formation, but I don't know if it's Jiraiya-sama."

'It's bad!'

Shisui secretly thought.

'The Four Violet Flames Formation requires four Jonin to work together to use, but Yondaime-sama has entrusted the mission of hunting down Orochimaru to Jiraiya-sama, and it is impossible to send someone else. That is to say, the one who was fighting Orochimaru at that time was not Jiraiya-sama!'

Shisui pondered: 'Is it the enemy's Shinobi who tried to torture Konoha's secrets from Orochimaru? Or is it… Root?'

'The relationship between Danzo and Orochimaru was very close at first, but since the last higher-ups meeting, the two betrayed each other and the relationship broke down completely. Danzo wanted to kill Orochimaru to silence him, and there was nothing wrong with it!'

"Shisui-sama? Shisui-sama?" Seeing Shisui was in a daze, Jigumo hurriedly called softly.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Shisui came back to his senses, only to remember that there was still Jigumo here.

"Shisui-sama, is this information useful to you?" Jigumo looked expectant.

Shisui thought for a while, then nodded: "I understand, later, I will apply for Hokage-sama to give you a generous bonus!"

"Huh?"

Jigumo was startled, "No, I, I don't want money, I…"

"Jigumo, I'll report this information to Hokage-sama first, don't leave Konoha for these few days." Shisui won't give Jigumo the chance to 'make trouble', and he disappeared quickly with a flicker.

Jigumo wants to catch up, but the other party is Shisui of the Body Flicker and he disappears in an instant, so there is no way to chase it.

Jigumo felt very uncomfortable. He just wants a warm embrace, is that so demanding?

After Shisui left, he rushed straight towards Hokage Tower. At this point, he doesn't know if Minato has gone home from get off work to accompany his wife and child.

Shisui's speed is getting faster and faster, turning into an afterimage, flickering rapidly between the houses.

Half an hour later, he arrived at Hokage Tower. Fortunately, Minato hasn't got off work yet.

After letting the guard on duty to inform Minato, Shisui walked into the Hokage's Office.

But before entering, he suddenly looked back at the guard standing outside the door in surprise.

'Isn't the Hokage's bodyguard only three people?'

'Genma Shiranui, Namiashi Raido, Tatami Iwashi, then who is this little demon who looks younger than me?'

Faced with Shisui's scrutiny gaze, Kinoe, who had just joined Hokage's bodyguard team not long ago, lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Shisui, is there anything you need at this late hour?" Minato asked with a smile when he saw Shisui at the door of the office.

"Hokage-sama, I got information from Orochimaru."

Shisui came back to his senses, closed the office door, walked to the desk and told Minato the information given by Jigumo.

"The Land of Rivers? No wonder Jiraiya-sensei did not find Orochimaru."

Minato suddenly realized. He would receive letters from Jiraiya from the Land of Grass from time to time. And Orochimaru was in the Land of Rivers, so how can Jiraiya find him?

'As for the one fighting Orochimaru, it should be Danzo's Root!'

Minato pondered for a while, and there is another problem appearing.

'How should I remind Jiraiya-sensei?

'Write a letter?'

'No, Jiraiya-sensei will never stay in one place for too long in order to find Orochimaru. When the letter is sent, Jiraiya-sensei will be gone.'

'In this case…'

Minato quickly made a decision: "Shisui, it seems that this mission will have to trouble you, Kanpū and Kakashi again!"

Shisui nodded: "I understand."

Minato looked into Shisui's eyes, and said solemnly: "Shisui, don't use the power of Mangekyo unless it is absolutely necessary, understand?"

Shisui was startled: "Hokage-sama, do you know about it?"

Minato was also shocked, 'Know about what?'

Minato said this just because he was worried that Shisui would lose himself in the mighty power of Mangekyo.

Shisui blinked his eyes twice, showing an awkward yet polite smile, and quickly changed the subject and said: "Hokage-sama, Jigumo is still in the village, and the information he sent is of great value, so…"

Minato smiled wryly and shook his head: "I understand, I will handle it properly."

"Then, I'll set off right away!" Shisui bowed slightly, bid farewell and left.
