Chapter 1406 Defection

"Boss, you are now the top figure in the entire institute! Orochimaru and others are just famous, but they are no match for you if they really fight. Otherwise, why wouldn't he dare to use his 'Divine Chakra Mode' to spar with you?"

"Everyone knows your reputation now. Even a few of us can walk around the institute with impunity!"

"Yes, Boss, you are the strongest person in the institute!"

Several confidants surrounded Xiao, flattering him one after another.

"Hahaha!"

Listening to the flattery of several people, Xiao laughed triumphantly.

Just today, Orochimaru explicitly rejected the Institute's request for him to use the 'Divine Chakra Mode' to compete with Owl.

Many people in the research institute interpreted Orochimaru's refusal as a sign of weakness.

As a result, Xiao's status in the research institute was further improved, and more and more people came to him on their own initiative.

Suddenly, a confidant came up to Xiao and lowered his voice: "By the way, there is something you have to be careful about, Boss!"

Xiao said casually: "What's the matter? Why are you sneaking around like that? Speak loudly!"

The confidant looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he said, "I heard that Orochimaru is lobbying the top management of the institute to get rid of you through the institute!"

"What!?"

Xiao became furious when he heard this.

Another confidant quickly agreed, "I've heard about this, too. Some people in the institute look down on your background and are worried that your rise will affect their power!"

Owl gnashed his teeth: "Damn Orochimaru!"

He didn't care that other people were hostile to him, because ordinary people couldn't threaten him at all. But Orochimaru was different, because the other party was a strong man at the same level as him. Even if he had the divine art of 'transformation', he could only make himself invincible, but couldn't defeat Orochimaru.

Therefore, if Orochimaru really persuaded the research institute to join forces with Aida and Dimon, who also mastered divine arts, he would definitely lose.

Xiao suddenly stood up and paced back and forth, thinking about how to deal with the situation.

"Boss, how about we take the initiative and kill Orochimaru?"

"Yes, as long as we kill Orochimaru, no one in the institute will dare to oppose us!"

"Then we will be able to take control of the institute!"

Several trusted aides were talking at once and helping Xiao to come up with ideas.

Xiao said angrily: "Shut up!"

No one knows better than himself whether he can defeat Orochimaru, so killing Orochimaru is not even within his consideration.

Seeing Xiao roared angrily, and then hesitated for a while, a confidant said: "At worst, we can leave the institute. With the boss's current strength, maybe we can seize a small country and become a leader comfortably, and have a name for fun!"

Xiao narrowed his eyes, seeming to be a little moved.

At this time, another confidant asked: "Can the institute let us leave?"

The confidant who proposed to leave the institute snorted coldly: "Those weak researchers in the institute don't even dare to turn against the boss!"

Xiao nodded slightly.

With the divine art of "transformation" at his disposal, even if Orochimaru, Aida, and Dimon joined forces, they might not be able to kill him. As long as they couldn't kill him, the two sides would have a life-and-death feud, so he felt that the research institute should not dare to completely break off relations.

Another confidant said: "But there is Akatsuki organization above!"

Xiao's face darkened. The research institute was easy to handle, but the Akatsuki organization was difficult to deal with, especially 'A' who was the mastermind behind the research institute and was a person he was extremely afraid of.

After thinking for a while, Xiao asked: "Who among you knows more about the situation of Akatsuki organization?"

A confidant quickly stepped forward and said, "Boss, I have inquired specifically for you. The strongest leader of Akatsuki is leader 'A'. He showed up at the research institute before and easily defeated Orochimaru. Apart from 'A', the only one worth your attention is 'B'. The others, such as 'C' and 'D' stationed at the research institute, are no match for you at all. Don't worry!"

After this person finished speaking, another confidant immediately said: "And you are different from Orochimaru. You are a strong man who truly masters divine arts. Even if 'A' takes action himself, he may not be able to defeat you!"

"Yes!"

Xiao slapped his forehead.

'A''s record of easily defeating Orochimaru did indeed make him fearful. But on second thought, Orochimaru did not master divine arts at all, which was completely different from him who truly mastered divine arts. 'A' could defeat Orochimaru, but it did not necessarily mean that he could defeat him.

What's more, after 'A' defeated Orochimaru, he didn't take his life. Given his value, he is obviously higher than Orochimaru. If he is really defeated by 'A', the worst that can happen is that he will just surrender.

Having made up his mind, Xiao said, "You guys go down and clean up. I'm not going to stay in this damn place called the research institute anymore!"

night.

A shrill alarm sounded above the research institute, followed by a large number of guard ninjas moving back and forth, delivering messages one after another.

in the office.

Amado was the first to receive the news of Xiao's defection and felt inexplicably relieved.

At this time, Orochimaru and Tsunade came to the office together.

Tsunade got straight to the point: "Owl defected!"

"I got the message."

Amado nodded.

Tsunade frowned and said, "He is essentially a bandit. Now he has power that he shouldn't have. Once he is out of the control of our institute, it will inevitably lead to disastrous consequences!"

Amado was speechless.

Of course he could think of this consequence. With Xiao's character, as long as he was free from the constraints of the research institute, he would be able to do anything.

But in his heart, it is better for Xiao to cause chaos outside than to cause chaos in the research institute.

Tsunade, who had a stronger sense of responsibility, continued, "We created this trouble with our own hands, and we have the obligation to bear the consequences!"

Amado said with a headache: "Xiao has mastered the magic of 'transformation'. We are not sure we can control him by force!"

Tsunade said: "Then let 'A' take action. He authorized the experiment, how can he just let it go!"

Amado said: "I have reported it, but there has been no response yet."

Tsunade was stunned for a moment, then said, "What do you mean? Are we just going to watch the trouble we created turn the ninja world upside down?"

"I'm afraid this is all we can do for now!"

Amado sighed.

Tsunade didn't seem to expect this result: "Doesn't Akatsuki still have 'B'? We still have Orochimaru, Aida, and Dimon. If we join forces, we should be able to take down Owl!"

Orochimaru, who had been silent, smiled and said, "No assistance is needed at all. As long as I have authorization, I can take action at any time to bring that idiot back!"

The first update is here!
