Chapter 415 Orochimaru returns to Konoha

After using the time and space ninjutsu to send Jiraiya far away, Byakuya turned his head and looked into the distance.

At this time, Kumogakure Jōnin, who was responsible for security, and Naruto, who was practicing, had noticed the movement here and were rushing towards this place.

Byakuya was unfazed by this. After forming a seal with his hands, he transformed the wooden clone into Jiraiya's appearance and stood beside him.

A few minutes later, Naruto and Kirabi appeared here.

After seeing traces of battle nearby, the Jonin quickly asked: "What happened just now? Did Uchiha Madara's men launch an attack?"

Byakuya nodded and said: "There were a few uninvited guests just now, but they were all chased away by me and Jiraiya. Unfortunately, we couldn't catch them and confirm Uchiha Madara's location through them."

Hearing this, the Jonin frowned: "Failed to catch them? If Uchiha Madara confirms the location of Turtle Island, our side will be in danger. We are no match for Uchiha Madara. "

Then he seemed to remember something, and the Jonin explained: "Byakuya-sama, what I mean is that this place is no longer safe, and we may need to relocate."

"You are right, we do need to move."

After a pause, Byakuya looked at Kirabi and others aside, and asked: "Khirabi Jonin, has the special training for Naruto and Gaara been completed? If it is completed, we will transfer now. "

Kirabi glanced at Byakuya, and then said: "Naruto and Gaara's training went very smoothly. They seemed to have reached a reconciliation and reconciliation before me and Gyuki."

Listening to Kirabi's embarrassing rap, Naruto and Gaara took the initiative to explain: "We have completed Kirabi-senpai's special training and have been able to successfully borrow the power of the tailed beasts."

Hearing this, 'Jiraiya''s eyes lit up and he said with a smile:

"In other words, the coalition already has three perfect Jinchūriki, and our chances of defeating Uchiha Madara have increased a lot."

"Brother Jiraiya is right, our chances of winning this time are indeed very good."

Byakuya glanced at Jiraiya and said: "But the top priority is to move in advance. Turtle Island is no longer safe. We need to go to a safer place."

"A safer location?"

Kirabi was a little curious: "Could it be Yuyin Village or Yuyin Village? But hasn't Bai already infiltrated these places into sieves? Are those places really safe?"

Bai Ye shook his head and then said:

"Of course the safest place is with me, but I have something important to do, so I need you to stay close to me. Of course, you can also choose to stay on Turtle Island."

"Although Turtle Island has been discovered, the island turtles can be transferred at any time, and this place is relatively safe."

At this time, Jiraiya said: "Everyone should listen to Brother Byakuya. There is no safer place in the Ninja world than around him. What Brother Byakuya wants to do is also related to the safety of the Ninja world."

Byakuya and Jiraiya both spoke, and the others could only obey.

In the process of packing his luggage, Naruto frowned and looked at the backs of Byakuya and Jiraiya. He felt that Jiraiya was a little weird today.

After using the Sage Mode with Kyuubi, he learned the Kyuubi Mode, which also greatly enhanced his perception. He felt that something was wrong with Jiraiya's chakra.

But he couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.

At this time, the Kyuubi in Naruto's mental space suddenly said: "Naruto brat, you have to be careful about this identity called Byakuya. His chakra is very wrong. You must not trust him."

When Naruto heard this, he asked in confusion:

"Why, Brother Baiye has saved me several times. He probably doesn't have any thoughts about me."

Kyuubi snorted coldly, and then said:

"Don't you forget what the chakra that parasitized on you taught you before? The world of ninjas is very cruel. Anyone can betray you, except for profit."

"Why does Bai Ye save you again and again? Isn't he just coveting your identity and my power? And I also sensed my chakra from him."

"Your chakra?" Naruto said with a smile: "Kiulama, aren't you hallucinating? If you are not sealed in my body now, how can he have your chakra on him."

Kyuubi's face turned cold, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"Naruto brat, don't you think that what's inside you is really a complete me? On the night thirteen years ago, I was cut into two halves by the Fourth Hokage. One half was sealed into your body, and the other half is still there today. Still missing.”

Kushina was also present when I was divided.

Unfortunately, Kushina was unconscious at the time and could not provide us with useful information, but what is certain is that all of this is definitely inseparable from Byakuya.

After all, Kushina was rescued by Byakuya.

…

In the arena of Orochimaru base.

Sasuke, who was wearing a snow-colored kimono and a strap on his back, was fighting with a group of experimental subjects. These experimental subjects were all the products of the failed blood experiment. There were many clones and beasts among them, and their strength ranged from genin to elite jounin.

After it was deemed that they had lost their experimental value, they were sent here to train with Sasuke.

Sasuke was a little resistant at first, but gradually he became accustomed to fighting. Uchiha itself is a race that is good at killing, and he is just the awakened power of blood.

In the midst of life-and-death battles, Sasuke's strength began to advance by leaps and bounds.

Not only did he completely master the Heaven's Curse Seal, but he also went to the Ryuchi Cave to practice, allowing the Heaven's Curse Seal to play a role that was almost like the Sage Mode.

After drawing his sword and dancing in the arena, Sasuke solved all the out-of-control experimental subjects, closed his eyes and began to recall the details of the battle.

After digesting the combat experience, Sasuke opened his eyes again, and saw a figure in front of him.

This person was not Orochimaru, but Orochimaru's deputy Kabuto Yakushi, who was also the second most feared ninja in the entire Orochimaru base.

Kabuto Yakushi was just an ordinary medical ninja before.

His strength was mediocre, only at the level of a senior ninja, but after being taken to the Ryuchi Cave with himself, Kabuto Yakushi actually learned the Sage Mode of the Ryuchi Cave, and his strength ushered in a qualitative leap.

According to Orochimaru, Kabuto Yakushi's strength is already enough to fight Uchiha Itachi.

If he could defeat Kabuto Yakushi, he would be able to challenge Uchiha Madara Itachi.

However, in the limited encounters between the two sides, he was no match for Kabuto Yakushi, which meant that he was still very far from defeating Uchiha Itachi.

At this time, Kabuto Yakushi looked at Sasuke and said, "Sasuke, Lord Orochimaru has something to ask us, let's go together."

Sasuke glanced at Kabuto Yakushi and asked, "What does he want us for?"

Kabuto Yakushi shook his head: "I don't know either, it may be related to the Ninja World War. Uchiha Madara and the masked man declared war on the entire Ninja World. A world war is about to break out between the two sides. No one can be immune, including us."

"Ninja World War?"

Sasuke frowned. He had only trained with Orochimaru for less than a year, and the conflicts between the Ninja Worlds had accumulated to the point where the Ninja World War would break out?

Holding back the doubts in his heart, Sasuke silently followed Kabuto Yakushi's pace.

Not long after, they found Orochimaru in the laboratory. On the test bench was a white-haired man with many wounds on his body, exuding the breath of death.

Sasuke and Kabuto Yakushi's first thought was that Orochimaru was conducting human experiments.

However, after seeing the appearance of the white-haired man, they exclaimed: "Lord Orochimaru, this could not be Lord Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas."

"You have been out for some time, are you going to deal with Jiraiya?"

Orochimaru shook his head slightly and said: "I didn't do anything to Jiraiya, but Jiraiya suddenly appeared in the base with injuries all over his body, and was picked up by the Sound Ninjas."

"With injuries all over his body?"

Sasuke looked at Jiraiya and saw that Jiraiya had several extremely serious penetrating wounds on his body. These injuries were concentrated together, and even a strong Jiraiya would probably not survive.

Kabuto Yakushi looked at Jiraiya and said with some doubt: "Lord Orochimaru, excuse me, Jiraiya's injury is impossible to survive. Did you save him?"

"I don't have the ability to cure him, but using the Impure World Reincarnation is another situation."

Orochimaru shook his head again, and then seemed to remember something and said:

"But in my impression, there is a person who can do this, but he doesn't play the role of the leader of the coalition. Why did he throw Jiraiya to me? Do you want me to get rid of Jiraiya?"

" Jiraiya has been my brother and friend for decades. How can I do this? "

Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses and said to Orochimaru:

"Lord Orochimaru, since that lord sent Jiraiya, I think that lord doesn't want to kill Jiraiya. I think he should want Jiraiya to act with us."

"Act with me?"

Orochimaru fell into deep thought. He did not receive any orders from Bai Ye. He has been contacting Bai Ye through Shisui in recent months. Could it be that he wants himself to go to Konoha to find Jiraiya?

Thinking of this, Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya again.

Although he didn't know what the power to heal Jiraiya was, Jiraiya was about to wake up. For his own safety, he still had to restrict Jiraiya a little.

And Jiraiya has become stronger for a long time in the past ten years, so it's not too much to take some flesh and blood tissue for experiments.

Once he had an idea, he started to act. Orochimaru left many sealing techniques on Jiraiya, the purpose of which was to limit Jiraiya's strength.

After everything was ready, Orochimaru looked in the direction of Konoha Ninja Village.

His base was not far from Konoha, only more than 100 kilometers away. It only took one or two hours for a ninja to run there. Otherwise, he could go to Shisui to discuss it.

…

In the swaying carriage, Jiraiya woke up from his coma.

Jiraiya did not open his eyes immediately after waking up, but used chakra to sense his injuries and eavesdrop on the situation nearby.

After sensing it, Jiraiya was a little dazed.

He thought his injuries were serious, but in fact they were not serious at all. Except that it was very difficult to mobilize chakra, he did not even have any skin injuries.

This made Jiraiya confused and did not understand what happened.

However, when he recalled the thrilling battle with Bai Ye before, Jiraiya was a little scared. He knew that Bai Ye was very strong, but he did not expect Bai Ye to be so strong.

Not only did he master the Wood Release Bloodline, but he also had the Sharingan Bloodline.

Coupled with the near-perfect Sage Mode, Jiraiya doubted that Byakuya would be able to fight even if he encountered the Five Kage Alliance.

But thinking about it, I was relieved. If Byakuya didn't have such strength, he wouldn't be qualified to join forces with Uchiha Madara, but the idea of ​​seeking skin from a tiger was too terrifying, and he couldn't agree to it.

Collecting his thoughts that were gradually diverging, Jiraiya began to observe the surrounding situation.

Judging from the bumps on his back and the speed of the air, he should be sitting on a carriage, but he didn't know the rest of the information, nor did he know who was imprisoning him.

They were Byakuya's subordinates, or other ninjas from the Ninja Village.

At this moment, Jiraiya felt a poisonous snake crawling over his body, and the slender Nobuko was drooling on his face.

Jiraiya suddenly opened his eyes and saw Orochimaru looking at him meaningfully.

Jiraiya was suddenly startled, and then said: "Orochimaru, why are you here? The one who defeated me was not..."

Orochimaru glanced at Jiraiya and snorted:

"Jiraiya, this sentence should be me asking you why you suddenly appeared in my base and fell into a coma. If my subordinates didn't know you and told me, you would be dead now."

"And, who did you meet? Uchiha Madara or Orochimaru?"

"When I saw you, you almost died. What exactly happened to you? There are traces of being cut by the turbulent flow of space everywhere."

"Maybe it's some immature space ninjutsu..."

Jiraiya said with some uncertainty, then he seemed to realize something, looked at Sasuke and Yakushi Kabuto outside the carriage, and frowned:

"My story is a long story, but where are you running to?"

"And why are Sasuke and Kabuto Yakushi here with you?"

Orochimaru said with a half-smile: "Jiraiya, it seems that you are still in a situation that you don't understand. You should be the one answering the questions from the prisoners around you, but since you asked, it doesn't matter if I tell you."

"Sasuke and Kabuto Yakushi are pursuing me for power. I can give them what Konoha cannot give them."

After a pause, Orochimaru patted Jiraiya on the shoulder, and then said: "As for our destination this time, of course it is Konoha Ninja Village. I haven't gone back to see it for a long time."

Jiraiya looked shocked and asked: "Orochimaru, you have already killed the teacher, and you are planning to attack Konoha. Is your hatred for Konoha really that great?"

"Who told you I was going to attack Konoha?"

Orochimaru said with a weird look: "I am also a Konoha ninja. Why can't I go back to Konoha to see, and there are many good friends of mine in Konoha? And don't you plan to return to Konoha?"
