Orochimaru: Are You Serious?

Soul Dwelling!

Orochimaru was shocked and then stared seriously at Kurotsuchi Nemu, as if trying to see if she was joking.

But it was clear that Kurotsuchi Nemu was serious.

Orochimaru took a deep breath. Could this be true?

However, he always had doubts in his heart.

Are you joking, a soul dwelling?

Are all the people in front of us actually souls?

Moreover, if she was already a soul, how could she still remain in the world?

Although he had some doubts and questions in his heart.

Orochimaru did not question it; he just listened carefully with a calm expression.

After all, this was someone else's territory, so even if someone was trying to deceive him, he had to keep smiling.

Otherwise, he might not be able to return.

Kurotsuchi Nemu didn't care whether he believed it or not. After all, she had just received orders from Lord Soul King to act as a temporary tour guide.

She was just doing her job.

She continued, "After the death of people in the ninja world, their intact souls will settle in Rukongai."

"According to the order of their deaths, they will be placed in eighty districts from east to west, north to south."

Eighty districts from east to west, north to south?

Are there really that many buildings in the Whirlpool Kingdom?

Is the population really that large?

Orochimaru was skeptical.

Although the so-called soul dwelling made him think the woman was joking with him.

But the information about the buildings should be correct.

After all, Orochimaru had seen so many buildings along the way.

Kurotsuchi Nemu continued, "The public security and living environment in the first district of Rukongai are ideal, with plenty of food. The districts with higher numbers have worse living conditions."

So that's how it is.

Orochimaru nodded slightly.

No wonder the outer buildings were so quiet, but the further you went in, the more prosperous it became.

Orochimaru was very concerned about the information about the buildings.

As for the talk about souls, he just listened to it as a story.

Soon, Nemu brought Orochimaru to the gate of Seireitei.

Since the direction of the Land of Fire was to the west of the Whirlpool Country.

Therefore, Orochimaru's direction of arrival was also on the western side of the Whirlpool Kingdom, so what he saw was the west gate of Seireitei.

Orochimaru looked up and saw the towering wall, shock appearing in his eyes.

When did the Whirlpool Kingdom have such a magnificent building?

Moreover, this wall was curved. He tilted his head slightly and couldn't even see the end of the wall's extension!

Even the gate in front of him was so grand!

At this moment, Nemu, using her identity as a tour guide, introduced, "After passing through Rukongai, you will see Seireitei ahead of you."

Seireitei...

Orochimaru's golden pupils flickered slightly, thinking about the related content of the Whirlpool Kingdom recorded in Konoha's Intelligence Department.

Is that why those Shinigami call themselves the Gotei 13...

It turns out Seireitei is protected...

Orochimaru's eyes flickered slightly, and he had a deeper understanding of the Whirlpool Kingdom.

Kurotsuchi Nemu continued, "Seireitei has four gates, namely west, east, north, and south. Our current location is the west gate."

Kurotsuchi Nemu greeted Jidanbo Ikkanzaka, who was guarding the gate, and then entered with Orochimaru.

As soon as he entered Seireitei, Orochimaru was immediately stunned!

You can't even imagine the streets at first glance. Most of the buildings on the streets had a simple appearance, with light-colored walls and tiled roofs.

The environment in this area was beautiful, with vast meadows and low hills.

What surprised him the most were the towering buildings!

These were several times taller than the Hokage Building in Konoha!

Had the Whirlpool Kingdom really been rebuilt in the past six months?

These bustling buildings had an ancient atmosphere and were full of historical ambiance.

Everything told the story of its longevity!

It turns out the Whirlpool Kingdom was only rebuilt in the past half-year?

Even the First Hokage with his Wood Style could not have such amazing infrastructure!

The Whirlpool Kingdom is indeed not simple!

Orochimaru calmed down and gave an apologetic smile to Kurotsuchi Nemu, who was waiting for him to recover.

Nemu glanced at him and then led him further inside, while introducing, "Seireitei is the residence of the Shinigami, and all the buildings of the Thirteen Divisions are also gathered here."

On the way forward, they passed a place that looked like a school. Nemu said, "That is the Spiritual Arts Academy, a place used to train Shinigami..."

Orochimaru squinted his eyes and looked closer at the Spiritual Arts Academy.

Training Shinigami...

In other words, it's similar to the ninja school created by the Second Hokage...

His eyes flickered as he saw the enrollment brochure posted at the entrance of the Spiritual Arts Academy.

Course teachings: Slashing, punching, ghost, walking (swordsmanship, White Punch, Kidō, Shunpo), discussions on various methods of Zanpakutō Shikai, characteristics of Hollows, correct ways to purify Hollows...

Enrollment benefits: Sealed state (can transform into a Zanpakutō after training)

…

Ghost Punch Slash Walking?

Slashing is swordsmanship, punching? White Punch?

It sounds like taijutsu.

Kidō…

Could this be the Muji Ninjutsu recorded in the intelligence?

Hiss—

Do the students in this school really teach Muji Ninjutsu?

Zanpakutō…

That must be that magical ninja sword...

Shunpo?

Is that the high-speed movement ability?

Enrollment benefits...

Receive a sealed state for free...

What? Can the sealed state transform into a Zanpakutō? Is that the magical ninja sword?

Hiss—

Orochimaru's pupils shrank and shrank, and he almost couldn't resist going to the school.

The teaching conditions are excellent too!

Swordsmanship, Taijutsu, Muji Ninjutsu, and Body Flicker Technique!

You can even get one of those magical ninja swords for free upon enrollment!

This is far better than the ninja school in Konoha!

If he hadn't been discovered by Lord Sarutobi for his talent, he might not have been able to learn good ninjutsu until graduation!

The comparison is really a huge difference!

And the so-called sealed state sword is given away for free!

This type of ninja sword, which is priceless in the ninja world, is given away for free in the Whirlpool Country!

No wonder everyone in the Whirlpool Country has one!

This made him want to enroll in the school.

As for the courses later aimed at Hollows, Orochimaru also found it reasonable.

Didn't the Whirlpool Kingdom say they were inseparable from Hollows?

In this way, even the courses taught in schools had special lessons on how to better deal with Hollows.

This proves that the Whirlpool Kingdom is not lying!

Seeing the immense teaching resources in the Land of Whirlpools, Orochimaru showed an envious expression for the first time.

After he calmed down, they continued their journey.

As they passed a particular building, Nemu introduced, "That's the team building for the Third Division over there..."

Orochimaru turned slightly and looked back.

When a boy with short brown hair and two red marks on his cheeks was seen in the dormitory of the Third Division, Orochimaru froze on the spot.

"Nawaki?!!"

...…
