Chapter 119 119. For the reputation of the village

"You continue traveling, I'll go to the front to see if there are any commissions I can take."

After leaving these words, Jiraiya disappeared into the dense forest. His movement speed was faster than the sound.

After the outsiders left, Zabuzabu continued to look straight on his face and asked Naruto: "Lord Menma, what should we do now? Rush over immediately to provide support?"

Naruto took a deep look in the direction of Uzushio Village and nodded.

Not long after, several people appeared on the edge of the battlefield and found the Ryuji Cave Orochi raging on the road, as well as the Uchiha ninjas who were fighting wits and courage with the Orochi.

Raising his beheading sword and leaping high, Zabuza directly chopped off a dragon cave snake.

Bai Ye used the ice escape technique, and ice spikes appeared out of thin air, falling like raindrops and piercing into the group of poisonous snakes. By the way, in conjunction with Naruto's water escape technique, all the human puppets hiding in hidden corners were frozen.

"Menma-sama's water escape technique is too powerful!"

Bai sincerely lamented that his combat effectiveness increased by an order of magnitude when there was water around him.

"Your ice escape is also good. You may be able to become famous all over the world through ice escape in the future. At least you have more potential than Zabuza."

As a teacher, Zabuza was naturally very happy when his apprentice was praised, but why should he be used as a reference?

However, after getting along with him for so many days, he also understood that Naruto had no ill intentions. This was proof of their close relationship. He didn't have to worry about being killed one day with any excuse.

After taking care of the nearby enemies, Zabuza locked his eyes on Orochimaru on the tree trunk, and his expression became strange.

He originally thought that the attack on the country of whirlpool was a small role, and he could finally show off his muscles, but the attack on the country of whirlpool turned out to be Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, another strong man who formed an army by himself.

He can deal with Jonin, but let's forget about such a strong person.

In addition to Zabuza, it was discovered that Orochimaru also had Jiraiya who was hiding his identity. After seeing Orochimaru approaching an Uchiha ninja, Jiraiya sighed quietly and teleported between the two.

"I am a wandering ninja who travels around the world and draws his sword to help when encountering injustice. Do you need to hire me to fight against the powerful enemy in front of you? I am very cost-effective. I only need one hundred thousand taels."

"One hundred thousand taels..."

Quan looked at the mysterious middle-aged uncle who suddenly appeared in front of him. Although he felt strange in his heart, he still nodded.

One hundred thousand taels is not a small amount, but the village is currently facing a big crisis. If the other party can contain Orochimaru for a period of time, it will be a great deal.

After the deal was concluded, Jiraiya motioned for Izumi Uchiha to leave.

Then, Jiraiya stared closely at Orochimaru in front of him, sighed softly and said: "Orochimaru, we meet again after so many years."

"Jiraiya?"

Orochimaru put away his contempt and said with a chuckle: "We haven't seen each other for some years. Did you come here specifically to find me this time? Or did you receive a mission from the old man to find these Uchiha traitors?"

"These are not important... What is important is, why are you here?"

Orochimaru frowned: "Why can't I appear here? The Country of Whirlpool is not Konoha's territory, and these Uchiha are no longer Konoha's ninjas. Do you still want to meddle in others' affairs?"

"Since they are rebellious ninjas and they are rebellious ninjas in the village, I cannot sit idly by and ignore your actions."

After a pause, Jiraiya continued: "Besides, they did not defect on their own initiative. They were forced to defect by Uchiha Itachi's genocide. They may be able to return to the village in the future."

"How foolishly naive!"

Orochimaru said unceremoniously: "You know the attitude of the old man and his gang towards Uchiha better than I do, and you should know that it is impossible for them to go back. It is better to leave them to me for recycling, and it can also save Konoha trouble."

"It would be better to have a better reputation if all Uchiha were killed by the rebel ninja Orochimaru than to die at the hands of ANBU."

Jiraiya was speechless because of the rebuke. Based on his understanding of Danzo, Danzo might really do this, and the third generation teacher would most likely choose to condone it.

At this time, out of the corner of his eye, Jiraiya caught sight of Scorpion who was fighting Shisui. He changed the topic and asked, "How should we explain that person? Who is he and why do you want to team up with him? I remember only Sunagakure is the only one who has a puppet master."

"I'm just a temporary collaborator. Don't be too curious."

"Cooperator?" Jiraiya frowned: "Is there anything that cannot be done with the village and must be done with an unidentified ninja?"

"Human experimentation...you know, the old man has always been against this."

"Human experiments...!"

Jiraiya fell into silence. He knew that this was the reason for Orochimaru's defection. In order to pursue science and pursue the limits of ninjutsu, Orochimaru had lost his humanity and attacked the ninjas in the village. This was something that Konoha would never tolerate.

After a moment, Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru and said: "Orochimaru, I will not sit back and watch you attack innocent people. Be prepared to fight. I will stop you."

As he said that, Jiraiya took up the gesture of sealing, with an unquestionable look in his eyes.

Orochimaru stared at Jiraiya for a while, then looked at the Red Sand Scorpion and Shisui in the distance, understanding that he would not be able to get the Mangekyo Sharingan today no matter what.

"I'll give you some face this time. I hope you won't be so stubborn next time we meet."

Before he finished speaking, Orochimaru disappeared in place. Just as Jiraiya wanted to chase him, he only found the snake skin left on the tree trunk. Orochimaru used some secret technique to escape.

As Orochimaru left, the Ryujidong Orochi who were active nearby could not hold on for long, and were killed one by one.

The only enemies left outside Uzushio Village were Scorpion, who was fighting Shisui, and various human puppets active nearby.

After driving away Orochimaru, Jiraiya's mood did not get better, but became more complicated.

He didn't know how to deal with these Uchiha, whether to reveal his identity and catch them all, or to continue to conceal his identity and investigate this ninja village built on the ruins.

At this moment, Jiraiya noticed Naruto who was hiding behind a big tree watching the battle, and teleported to Naruto's side.

Naruto showed his starry eyes and said with admiration: "Uncle Ninja, it turns out you are so powerful that you can beat Orochimaru away!"

"It's not a fight, we are just afraid of each other..." Jiraiya corrected.

"That's very powerful!" Naruto walked out from behind the big tree and continued: "But, uncle, I'm afraid you're lying when you say you're a chuunin. You must be a jounin."

"I am indeed a Jonin, but your approach is too dangerous. Don't do it next time..."

Jiraiya scratched his head. He slowly approached Naruto, intending to use genjutsu to modify Naruto's memory.

When he was about to use the illusion, Jiraiya noticed that Zabuza and Haku were walking towards him. In order not to reveal his identity, he had no choice but to give up his plan to use the illusion.
