Chapter 202: Pops' children can't hold Pops back! Yakushi Kabuto! The Sannin of

Konohagakure gather!

Orochimaru didn't want to meet Jiraiya again.

Even though the face he was wearing and this body were definitely ones Jiraiya had never seen before.

But he couldn't guarantee that Jiraiya wouldn't recognize him.

After all, Jiraiya's unpredictability is 100%.

Returning to Konohagakure, Orochimaru was still very cautious.

Because he knew that if his identity was completely exposed, he might be besieged by the entire Konohagakure today.

Without any preparation, it's not easy to break out.

As for whether Naruto would reveal his identity?

Orochimaru didn't think Naruto would do that.

Because that fool Jiraiya hasn't chased out shouting yet.

This shows that Naruto hid this matter from Jiraiya.

Just as Orochimaru was stepping out of the bathhouse, a familiar voice rang out from the side of the bathhouse door, "Orochimaru sama, isn't it a bit too risky for you to come to Konohagakure village in person?"

Orochimaru stopped in his tracks, he looked to his right.

He saw a young man standing next to him.

The young man looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, his forehead was wearing a Konohagakure village headband, and his face was wearing a pair of round glasses.

He had a small braid tied behind his head, and he didn't look tall or short.

He was the kind that wouldn't attract a second glance if he was on the street.

"Don't call me that in Konohagakure!" Orochimaru glared at the black-haired young man, his voice slightly lowered, "Jiraiya is in the village, why didn't you tell me?"

The young man was taken aback, "Ah?"

This young man was indeed Yakushi Kabuto, he also participated in this Chunin exam, but he was eliminated in the first round.

Of course, it's not that he couldn't pass the first round.

But he did it on purpose.

Yakushi Kabuto participated in the Chunin exam just to collect some information.

A good spy naturally can't be too conspicuous.

He has always been low-key.

Many of his classmates have already become Chunin.

He is still a Genin.

Yakushi Kabuto shook his head, he replied, "I'm sorry, I didn't know your 'old classmate' was also in the village."

His gaze was meeting Orochimaru's pair of vertical pupils.

Orochimaru didn't see any lies in Yakushi Kabuto's eyes.

"Hmph! Don't let it happen again!" Orochimaru gently reprimanded, "In the future, you need to figure out the information before passing it on to me."

"Yes!" Yakushi Kabuto nodded.

"How has my old teacher been doing in Konohagakure recently?" Orochimaru suddenly asked this question, his beautiful blue and white face had a bit of interest.

Yakushi Kabuto shook his head, "Not good, the rumors about the Third Hokage sama in the village have been getting more and more outrageous."

Yakushi Kabuto chuckled, "I've heard rumors that your expulsion from Konohagakure was a scheme by the Third Hokage. They believe that after the Fourth Hokage's death, the only two people in the village who could succeed as Hokage were the Third Hokage and his most talented student... you."

"So, to secure his position as Hokage, the Third Hokage pinned false charges on you. In the end, you were driven out of Konohagakure and even branded as an S-class rogue ninja."

"Hehe... Hahaha! Interesting!"

Orochimaru couldn't help but smile, "Is this a rumor you spread?"

"Indeed, I couldn't fool you." Yakushi Kabuto replied with his head lowered, "This conspiracy theory rumor, after my deliberate spread, has led some people to believe that you were innocent back then."

Orochimaru's smile grew wider. Although he didn't care about his reputation, he was pleased to see Sarutobi Hiruzen in trouble.

Orochimaru patted Kabuto on the shoulder.

"Well done."

He praised Kabuto.

....

Meanwhile.

A ninja from "Amegakure Village" appeared on the streets of Konohagakure.

Her forehead protector from Amegakure clashed with those of Konohagakure.

"Konohagakure, it's my first time here..."

Konan murmured to herself.

Although Konan wasn't a ninja from Konohagakure, her feelings towards Konohagakure were complicated. Her teacher was from Konohagakure, but so was the person who planned to kill Yahiko. Now, Uzumaki Naruto, who extorted a whopping 9 million ryo from the Akatsuki, was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konohagakure. The mysterious Uchiha Madara from the Akatsuki was suspected to be from Konohagakure, and the newly joined powerful newcomer, Uchiha Itachi, was also from Konohagakure.

What's is this?

Is there some inexplicable karma between the Akatsuki and Konohagakure?

"It's so bustling! At least ten times more bustling than Amegakure Village, and unlike Amegakure Village, it's not always raining."

Konan sighed.

She wasn't worried that standing openly on the streets of Konohagakure would reveal her as a core member of the Akatsuki.

Not to mention, the Akatsuki was very mysterious.

Just her typical Amegakure Village attire made it impossible for people to see her face... Konan was dressed in a Jonin vest from Amegakure, wore a gas mask on her face, and even goggles. She even removed the nail polish from her hands and feet.

The Akatsuki's red cloud black robe was definitely not worn.

She was disguised to the extreme.

She was just short of using a transformation technique to disguise herself further.

"Karin... Can we really become stronger like this?" Just then, a panting voice sounded from behind Konan, "I... I can't run anymore, it's so... so heavy! I'm so tired!"

"We definitely can!" Another voice sounded, this voice seemed very steady, "Because, that's how Naruto became stronger! When Pops was training Naruto, he made Naruto do the same."

"Naruto also became stronger like this?" The first voice seemed to muster some strength, "In that case... let's continue!"

"You like Naruto, don't you? Every time I mention Naruto, you're full of fighting spirit and motivation."

"No, no... not at all..."

"Is that so? But I see your head is steaming..... huh? Hinata, stop!"

"Ah?.....Ah!!!"

Bang!

Konan felt like her back leg had been hit by a rampaging little wild boar, she could even feel a small head bumping into her buttocks.

Konan's buttocks were hit and shook like the waves of the sea.

This also made her body shake all over.

Her whole body staggered half a step forward.

.....My butt hurts!

But Konan's face was expressionless, she turned her head back at a moderate pace, and saw two little girls behind her.

One little girl was wearing a pair of red-framed glasses, she was so young and already has a bad eyes, she must not take good care of her eyes, right?

Another little girl was sitting on the ground, she was rubbing her forehead with a confused look on her face, her pair of white eyes were very conspicuous.

Byakugan.....

Hyuga clan?

Konan also noticed that these two little girls were each carrying a very heavy wooden stake, she could keenly perceive that the two wooden stakes were wet, most likely soaked in water.

At first glance, it looks even heavier than a normal wooden stake, probably weighing several kgs.

What is this?

Weight training?

But this kind of weight is almost comparable to their own body weight, right? Is it suitable for children of this age to train like this?

"Ah! I'm sorry, very sorry!"

Hinata realized that she had bumped into someone, she quickly struggled to get up, and then hurriedly bowed to Konan.

But Hinata forgot that she was still carrying a wooden stake weighing several kgs.

With this bow, she directly fell head over heels.

Seeing that her little head was about to hit the ground.

At the critical moment, Konan quickly bent over and grabbed Hinata's arm, she forcibly stopped Hinata.

Hinata's forehead was.....

Only less than ten centimeters from the ground.

Just a little bit and she would have disfigured.

"Thank, thank you!" Hinata quickly got up again with her hands and feet. She didn't bow this time, because she was worried that she would fall again, that would be embarrassing.

"It's nothing." Konan replied, she thought for a moment, and asked Hinata and Karin in front of her, "Can I ask, do you know the 'Whitebeard Pirate Group'?"

"Whitebeard Pirate Group?" Karin replied, "They are very famous in Konohagakure Village! Of course we know, what does this ninja sister want to do with them?"

Karin spoke before Hinata could answer.

Because she saw a rain ninja forehead protector on Konan's forehead.

She also felt that this ninja was not simple.

Karin, who was born with Kagura's heart eyes, decided to trust her intuition.

"This is a ninja's secret!"

Konan, wearing a gas mask, showed an invisible smile, but her smile on her face didn't have much emotional fluctuation.

Karin responded, "It's the Whitebeard Pirate Group over there, but few people in the village dare to go there."

"Over there?" Konan looked in the direction Karin was pointing.

"Thank you."

Watching Konan's figure gradually moving away towards that direction.

Hinata couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Karin, what's wrong?"

Hinata noticed that Karin was very alert just now.

Karin replied, "This woman is not simple, if we expose our identity, I don't know if she will kidnap us, and then use us to threaten Pops."

Hinata: "!!!"

"Could she be some kind of enemy?" Hinata was shocked.

Karin shook her head, "I don't know, it's always right to be vigilant. As Pops' children, always remember that even if you temporarily don't have the ability to share Pops' worries, at least you can't become burden"

.....

Konan could no longer hear the "whispers" of the two little girls, she walked in the direction Karin pointed.

At the same time, she also raised a little vigilance in her heart.

Because.....Konan was very clear about the strength of the Whitebeard Pirate Group, or rather, she was very clear about the strength of Whitebeard.

Back then.

Pain send Orochimaru and Sasori to invite Whitebeard to join the Akatsuki, but they nearly "never returned". And that mysterious fellow "Uchiha Madara" seemed to have suffered a setback at the hands of Whitebeard.

Whitebeard is a terrifying man... This is a consensus among almost everyone in the Akatsuki.

He is also the "number one dangerous person in the ninja world" in Konan's mind!

Various thoughts emerged in her mind as Konan, passing by the entrance of a casino, brushed past two "passersby".

At that moment.

Konan's steps paused slightly.

The two "passersby" did the same.

"What's wrong?" Yakushi Kabuto stopped because he noticed Orochimaru sama next to him had stopped. Since he couldn't call Orochimaru by his name, he could only ask like this.

Orochimaru didn't answer Yakushi Kabuto.

He didn't look back at Konan: "I smell a familiar scent!"

Konan didn't look back either: "Why would he be in Konohagakure Village?"

Orochimaru didn't expect to run into Konan in Konohagakure.

Konan didn't expect to run into Orochimaru either. Although Orochimaru's body had been replaced with another, the aura he exuded was something Konan would never forget in her lifetime.

The key is that Orochimaru is very arrogant.

Konan could even see the ring on Orochimaru's finger... That was the Akatsuki's ring!

He wasn't afraid of being recognized.

"Hehe, I was born in Konohagakure. Isn't it normal to want to come back and see Konohagakure?" Orochimaru extended his long tongue and licked his lips. He was a bit surprised and puzzled: "But you, 'the angel', what are you doing in Konohagakure?"

"Oh! I remember!" Orochimaru laughed: "Is it because of the Whitebeard Pirate Crew? Amegakure Village has already fallen into 'their' hands, those captured Rain ninjas have to be redeemed back, right?"

"Hehe..." Orochimaru's tone was either mocking or sarcastic: "I thought the leader would choose to snatch them back, but I didn't expect him to bring them back with money."

"This is a bit different from 'our' usual style! 

Could it be that the leader is afraid of Whitebeard..."

Zzzz...

The slight sound of flipping paper was somewhat crisp and pleasant. Konan's profile was lifted like a piece of paper, her tone was extremely cold: "If you say one more word, I won't mind killing you."

"Do you want to burn your bridges?" Orochimaru was not worried at all: "Hehe, this is Konohagakure Village! My suggestion is... you and I, we'd better keep a low profile."

"Hmph!" Konan snorted coldly.

She didn't believe that Orochimaru returned to Konohagakure just to see his "hometown". But she also knew she couldn't ask too many questions, Orochimaru was not a straightforward person. Even in the Akatsuki, he was a very rebellious member.

But she didn't refute Orochimaru.

She retracted her Paper Ninjutsu.

"Oh, by the way..." Orochimaru suddenly thought of something, he said with interest: "Considering we are colleagues, let me remind you, there is someone you know in Konohagakure!"

"Hmm?" Konan frowned slightly: "Who? Danzo?"

"No." Orochimaru shook his head, his smile grew wider: "It's someone who will definitely surprise you."

"He..."

Before Orochimaru could finish his sentence.

Suddenly, a distant call came from afar, that kind of calling voice, Orochimaru would never forget in his lifetime: "Hebihime Sakura! Hebihime Sakura! Slow down, I chased you back specially to apologize to you!"

Orochimaru: "....."

Konan: "....."

Kabuto: "???"

From Orochimaru's perspective, the voice came from his right; from Konan's perspective, the voice came from the left.

Obviously...

Their sudden silence was because both of them recognized who the voice belonged to.

Orochimaru: 'It's that fool Jiraiya!'

Konan: 'It's Jiraiya sensei!'

Kabuto : 'Is Orochimaru the one referred to as 'Hebihime Sakura'? What a girly name!'

"Hahaha! You walk so fast, I almost couldn't catch up!" Jiraiya walked over in a carefree manner.

First, he curiously glanced at Yakushi Kabuto next to Orochimaru.

Then he looked at Konan, who was dressed very conservatively.

The former, Jiraiya didn't recognize.

The latter, he couldn't see her face.

"Cough cough!" Jiraiya cleared his throat, he grinned at the "Hebihime Sakura" and said: "Hebihime Sakura... allow me to introduce myself, my name is 'Jiraiya', you can also call me, the legendary Sannin Jiraiya from Konohagakure! Cough! I'm currently single."

".....You've got the wrong person!" Orochimaru's smile froze on his face, gradually fading away.

What the heck is 'Hebihime Sakura'?

Is that his name? Could it be that those three brats told Jiraiya something strange?

Orochimaru gritted his teeth in anger.

"Huh? Got the wrong person? No way?" Jiraiya chuckled: "How could I, Jiraiya, possibly mistake someone? As long as I've seen someone once, I'll never forget their face! Moreover, I remember that Hebihime Sakura, you have two very inconspicuous light moles on your back!"

"Hehehe..." "...And just now in the bathhouse, I saw everything I should have seen. Cough cough! But I swear, I didn't mean to see it, after all, it was a mixed-gender bath!"

Listening to Jiraiya's lewd laughter, Orochimaru wished he could pull out his Kusanagi sword and cut off Jiraiya's tongue.

He finally understood why Jiraiya, this fool, was almost beaten to death by Tsunade back in the day.

Orochimaru, who used to be a man, didn't realize this.

Now Orochimaru, who is a woman, finally understands that any woman would be annoyed by Jiraiya's lewd behavior.

"Hebihime... Sakura?" Konan's expression was very strange: "Bathhouse... mixed-gender bath?"

She seemed to have heard something interesting.

"Hahaha! Hebihime Sakura, I heard that tonight happens to be a full moon, how about I invite you for a few drinks?" Jiraiya excitedly rubbed his hands.

".....Get lost!" Orochimaru angrily retorted.

He had had enough of this fool.

He finally understood why Tsunade never accepted Jiraiya.

Who would accept a man like this?

Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses, he didn't say a word, Jiraiya's actions shocked him.

Jiraiya didn't expect to get such a response.

The title of the Three Ninja doesn't work anymore?

It was quite useful when he went out drinking!

The scene suddenly fell into an awkward silence.

Meanwhile.

"Cheaters! Your casino is cheating! You won't let people say it, right? No wonder that old man is criticized every day, this is his business, right, the beam is crooked!"

A burst of noisy quarreling.

Breaking the silence akin to death.

A girl with light golden hair tied in twin tails stormed out of the casino, clutching a debt note in her hand, muttering incessantly, "Damn it, how could I lose so terribly...

"They must have cheated! The day I dig up the evidence, I'll make these scoundrels pay back tenfold!"

"Damn, how am I going to repay these 10 million ryo? Naruto seems to be quite wealthy, maybe I should borrow from him?"

"Hmm?"

Tsunade looked up and suddenly recognized a familiar face, leaving her stunned on the spot.

The Sannin of Konohagakure.

All gathered.
