Chapter 252: Star Shadow Village

There are not only stone sculptures of Jiraiya and Tsunade, but there is also another stone sculpture in the central square of the village.

This time it was built according to Orochimaru's current appearance. As the shadow of a village, it shouldn't be excessive to erect a statue of himself, right?

These three statues were carefully constructed after research by puppeteers and stonemasons, and each has its own unique charm.

Without exception, they all use the power of monsters as their power source and can be controlled by Maitreya, which can barely be considered a form of defense for the village.

In a sense, Maitreya and Wuliang are one and the same, so controlling these stone puppets is naturally not a problem.

Of course, the prerequisite is that she has to become one of the North's own, or in other words, Orochimaru's person.

At the same time, he took advantage of the stonemason's free time to carve nine dragons on the mountain wall next to the village.

Unlike Konoha, which has a rich heritage and is engraved with the portraits of successive Hokage, Kitadi Village has just emerged and has to find another way.

Therefore, he could only settle for the next best thing and carved that wall of the mountain into a Nine Dragon Wall, with nine protruding dragon heads, symbolizing the dragon's ascension to heaven.

I have to admit that the stonemason's craftsmanship is excellent. This is a rough model built by him using the maximum level of earth attribute, and then he asked the craftsmen to modify and polish it.

Otherwise, how would people in this world know what a dragon looks like?

It just so happens that this stone wall was carved out of one side of the dragon vein, which complements the other.

The Nine Dragon Wall is located on the east side of the village. The nine dragon heads are facing the Golden Shadow Building. Its imposingness is no weaker than that of the portraits of Konoha's successive Hokage.

As for the other Demon Valley that breeds monsters, Orochimaru placed it in the north of the village. It would be better for both sides to keep some distance from each other. If any chemical reaction really occurs, it would be disastrous.

Orochimaru also gave them appropriate names, Hualong Mountain and Broken Soul Valley.

If the stone man was added, if the world he was in was not wrong, he would have wanted to recite a poem: The cold wind blows in the Valley of Broken Souls, the lazy snake hisses and the young man returns...

Just when Orochimaru was enjoying a rare peace and quiet in the North, a sudden piece of news broke his peace.

"Lord Kanekage, the goods we were transporting to the Land of Earth were attacked!"

In the office of the Golden Shadow, a ninja knelt on one knee in front of Orochimaru's desk and reported to him.

This ninja is affiliated with the Shadow Secret Guard. He is not only responsible for the security of the North, but also for contacting spies distributed in various countries, that is, Luowang's superiors.

"What exactly happened?"

Orochimaru, who was sitting in his office chair, immediately took the news seriously after hearing it. Anyone who dared to cause trouble during this period must be one of the five major countries.

He is the only one of these ninja villages, but he won't be so obedient.

"The ninjas from the Star Ninja Village attacked the caravan. According to the news from Luowang, the Star Ninja Village has always lived in a corner and rarely invades other countries!"

Hearing the name of this ninja village, long-forgotten memories of the field name emerged in his mind.

The combat power of this small village is not high, but it has its own Star Shadow. Logically speaking, only the five major countries can be called Shadows, but it is not known whether this small village is arrogant or ignorant.

Perhaps the existence of this small ninja village is of no concern to the five major countries, so they just turn a blind eye to it.

"Xingying Village, who gave them the courage? They really don't know what they are talking about!"

If my guess is correct, the third generation of Xingying should still be in power now, and that old man won't live long. Could it be that he wants to make some money before he dies?

This thought flashed through Orochimaru's mind. It was possible, but he couldn't be so arbitrary.

"Among the five major nations, which ninja village is more active recently?"

Regarding this attack, Orochimaru always felt that things were not that simple. There was no conflict of interest between the North and the Hoshikage Village. He was more inclined to believe that some big ninja village was behind it.

"The ninjas of Konoha and Iwagakure have been quite active recently, and both sides have issued many missions related to us!"

Since the opening of the North, it has had trade exchanges with many ninja villages, and these ninja villages also issue various tasks, such as escorting caravans, escorting daimyo, etc.

Under normal circumstances, the country from which the supplies are transported will issue a corresponding escort mission. This time, the supplies are being transported from the Kingdom of Gold to the Kingdom of Earth, so the chance of Ohnoki causing trouble is relatively low.

After this comparison, Konoha is the most suspicious.

The conclusion was reached so quickly because of the support of Luowang's intelligence and Orochimaru's bold guess.

Of course, it is not ruled out that other countries interfered and their actions were so secretive that they were not discovered by the members of Luowang.

But Orochimaru prefers Konoha, because the Dark Ninja World is there, and Ohnoki is also a possibility. That old guy is bold enough to hire the Akatsuki organization to act as thugs.

The Land of Lightning cannot be ruled out as a suspect, after all, they also suffered at the hands of Orochimaru.

"Go get Kakuzu... Never mind, get Hidan over here!"

No matter who is behind this, the Hoshikage Village cannot escape the blame. There is really no need for him to worry so much about this small ninja village.

The Shadow Secret Guard nodded his head in response after receiving the order, then retreated.

Not long after, a yawning Hidan appeared in front of Orochimaru.

"What's wrong, sir? Do you have another mission?"

When he arrived at the office, Feiduan was not restrained. He sat down on the sofa next to him with his arms and legs spread out, and the sickle was casually placed aside.

Seeing his listless look, Orochimaru didn't waste any words and directly told him his plan.

"Come with me to Xingying Village tomorrow. I heard that the people there are still living in dire straits. I plan to ask them to move!"

Upon hearing that he could go out of the village to carry out a mission, Feiduan immediately became excited and jumped up from the sofa, not even caring about the sickle that had fallen beside him.

"Finally I can go out and get some fresh air. My bones are almost rusted these days. Lord Evil God hasn't eaten for a long time!"

I don't know if he heard the specific content of the mission clearly, but he was so excited when he heard that he could go out. It seems that he has been feeling very depressed these days.

"Hehe...go back and prepare first, and gather at the village entrance tomorrow!"

Orochimaru waved his hand as he spoke. He didn't take this ninja village that dared to call itself the shadow seriously.

In the original work, the team formed by Neji and the Meijin solved the troubles of this village. Letting Hidan go with him is simply an overkill.

However, on the one hand, we have to consider the need to relocate the other party's personnel back, and on the other hand, there is the meteorite.

According to legend, the meteorite from outer space possesses the power of the Ten-Tails, and it is very likely the tissue that fell off the Ten-Tails' body.

Orochimaru was very interested in this and took it to study it.

According to his guess, regardless of whether the meteorite was the flesh of the Ten-Tails or not, it had strong radiation on it. The ninjas of the Star Ninja Village also relied on the energy emitted from it for years to practice, which eventually led to the premature death of many people.

Hidan was called because he was not afraid of this little damage. Of course Kakuzu could also be chosen, but that guy was a bit snobbish and would always ask Orochimaru for his heart.
