Chapter 254 Looking for Orochimaru

Zabuza suppressed his anxiety deep in his heart, and his eyes swept over Borsalino and Nathan Hawke from time to time. Borsalino was still lazily leaning on the sofa, eating snacks slowly, as if he didn't care about anything around him. Nathan Hawke looked at Zabuza calmly, ready to issue his orders.

"Zabuza," Nathan Hawke said slowly, with a hint of coldness in his voice, "I have a mission that I need you to carry out."

Zabuza immediately focused, his eyes showing a hint of nervousness: "Please speak."

Nathan Hawke's eyes became sharp, and he continued: "I want you to go to the Land of Fields, and use whatever means you can to make Orochimaru of the Sound Village pay attention to "us". For example, big words like "eternal life" or something like that."

Zabuza instantly understood Nathan Hawke's intention. He realized that Nathan Hawke's group's target was Orochimaru. Although Zabuza had some doubts in his heart, he knew that he had no choice but to obey orders.

"Your target is Orochimaru..." Zabuza whispered, mostly talking to himself.

Nathan Hawke smiled slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "It seems that you quickly understood. Yes, our target is Orochimaru. You just need to make sure he notices us, and you don't have to worry about other things."

Zabuza nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "I understand, I will complete the task."

Nathan Hawke nodded with satisfaction, then shouted, "Dover!"

There was a sound of dissatisfied footsteps outside the door, and Doflamingo pushed the door open with a hint of impatience on his face: "You want me to solve those rubbish outside the door?"

Doflamingo's appearance is eye-catching. He is tall and strong, with golden hair, wearing gorgeous clothes and a proud smile on his face. Zabuza took a look at Doflamingo and immediately felt a strong threat. Zabuza's intuition told him that the man in front of him was definitely an extremely dangerous character.

Doflamingo's eyes quickly swept across the room and stopped at Borsalino, with a hint of fear in his eyes. Borsalino was still lazily eating snacks, but his every move revealed an unsettling pressure. Although Doflamingo was arrogant, he knew in his heart that Borsalino's strength was far superior to his own.

"Borsalino! Are you just going to watch us deal with these trivial matters?" Doflamingo asked coldly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Borsalino raised his head lazily and smiled. "I'm just taking a look. I won't disturb your work. Besides, you guys are enough to handle it."

Doflamingo snorted and turned to Nathan Hawke: "What do you want me to do?"

Nathan Hawke smiled and explained, "Dover, I need you to ensure that Zabuza completes his mission safely, and at the same time, be alert to Orochimaru's movements. I want you to test the other party first."

Doflamingo sneered and said, "I see. Leave this little thing to me. It won't be a big problem."

Zabuza felt a little relieved. Although the task was difficult, with the support of Flamingo, he felt that the chances of success were much greater. He nodded again: "I will do my best to complete the task."

Nathan Hawke looked at them with satisfaction and continued, "Remember, your goal is to lure out Orochimaru and make him notice you, but you can't let him know our true purpose. Act carefully."

Doflamingo smiled coldly: "Don't worry, I will keep a close eye on Zabuza, and there won't be any mistakes."

Zabuza took a deep breath and prepared to leave the room, his heart full of determination for the mission. He knew that this operation would be a test of his ability, but he also understood that completing the mission was his only choice.

"Bandage freak, let's go." Doflamingo greeted him lightly, then opened the door and looked back at Borsalino, his eyes still filled with fear and disdain. Borsalino just smiled slightly and continued to eat snacks lazily, as if he didn't care about all this.

Watching the two people leave, Borsalino continued to lazily lean on the sofa, slowly took out a snack from the snack bag, and chewed it with enjoyment. However, he suddenly felt a cold gaze coming from behind him, and that gaze carried silent pressure, forcing him to look straight at it.

He slowly turned his head and saw Nathan Hawke staring at him, with a hint of command in his eyes. Borsalino sighed softly, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and then he showed a lazy smile.

"Got it, got it," Borsalino said in his usual lazy tone, with a hint of a worker's mentality in his voice, "I will definitely bring the man called Orochimaru to you."

Nathan Hawke's expression did not change at all. He looked at Borsalino with satisfaction, then turned and walked to the other side of the room. Borsalino looked at Nathan Hawke's back, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and continued to take a snack from the snack bag and ate it slowly, as if everything that had just happened was just a part of life.

In the entire room, only Borsalino's lazy chewing sound echoed in the air, and his eyes became scattered and lazy again, as if he didn't care about the next task.

......

A week has passed in the Land of Rice Fields. Zabuza and Doflamingo have been looking for Orochimaru. They have secretly entered the Sound Village many times, but Orochimaru seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth, with no sign of showing up.

Doflamingo has a general understanding of the power and "ninjutsu" of the "ninjas" in this world. The ninjas here are somewhat similar to the ninjas in Wano Country in his world, but they are completely different in some aspects. He began to have more interest and thoughts about the power system of this world.

On this day, Zabuza and Doflamingo once again came to a secret underground exchange, the black market. They were ready to check if there was any response to the tasks they had issued. The underground exchange was dark and damp, and the traders around were of all kinds, with their own secrets and purposes.

Zabuza and Doflamingo walked into the exchange, attracting many people's attention. Zabuza glanced around coldly, with a hint of deterrence in his eyes. Doflamingo seemed more calm, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

They came to the task notice board to check if there was any response to the task they posted. Suddenly, a slender figure wearing black and a mask quietly appeared in front of them. This person in black looked like a woman, and her voice was processed to be low and vague: "I know what you are looking for."

Zabuza narrowed his eyes slightly and asked coldly: "Do you know the whereabouts of Orochimaru?"

The man in black nodded slightly, his voice still processed: "Besides the Sound Village, I know where else Orochimaru is hiding."

There was a hint of doubt in Zabuza's eyes, but he knew he had no more choices: "You'd better not lie to me. If the information you provide is wrong, I will make you regret it."

The man in black responded calmly, "Master Zabuza, I dare not deceive you, who is so famous."

Doflamingo watched this scene with interest, his hands in his pockets, and a cold smile on his face. He was not surprised by Zabuza's threat, but found the scene quite interesting.

Zabuza said coldly: "If your information is accurate, the reward will not be less."

The man in black nodded slightly: "I can take you there, but you need to ensure my safety."

Zabuza snorted coldly: "As long as your information is true, there is no need to worry about your safety."

The man in black nodded slightly, then led them out of the underground exchange and to a more secret place.

Get out of the black market.

The morning sun cast mottled shadows through the leaves of the forest, and the breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness. Zabuza and Doflamingo followed the man in black and walked through the silent forest. Zabuza's eyes were full of hostility. He glanced around vigilantly, and a sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.

"We're already here," the black man whispered, pausing and turning his back to the two men.

Zabuza stared at the man in black with sharp eyes and coldly asked in his tone: "What are we doing here? You'd better give me an explanation."

Doflamingo watched this scene with great interest, a disdainful smile on his face, his hands casually placed in his pockets, looking extremely relaxed.

The man in black did not answer immediately, but slowly took off his disguise, revealing Orochimaru's cunning and cold face. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Zabuza, why do you come to the Sound Village again and again? What do you want to do with me? And you even use the excuse of 'eternal life', which is really annoying."

Zabuza was not frightened by Orochimaru's sudden appearance. He looked back at Orochimaru coldly, his eyes full of determination: "I have a mission, I have to take you to see someone."

Orochimaru's interest was aroused, and his eyes sparkled with curiosity: "Oh? Take me to see someone? Who is so brave that I, Orochimaru, would go to see him?"

Doflamingo beside Zabuza showed a disdainful smile. He shrugged casually, his tone full of contempt: "Why do you think we need your consent?"

Orochimaru did not answer immediately. His gaze lingered on Doflamingo for a moment, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes: "This person... is he your evidence?"

Zabuza nodded coldly: "Yes, it's him. You'd better be careful with him."

Orochimaru frowned slightly, and the smile on his face became a little distorted: "Zabuza, you are so bold. How dare you provoke me again and again? It seems that my experimental subject has been found."

Zabuza looked Orochimaru in the face without fear: "You can try. If you dare to touch me, we will not let you have a good end."

"We?" Orochimaru sneered. "You, a traitor, have also found the organization?" Deep down in his heart, he couldn't help but guess in a certain direction.

Doflamingo sneered, breaking the tense atmosphere. He said leisurely: "Orochimaru, I advise you to calm down. Otherwise, you will soon understand how stupid it is to go against us."

Orochimaru's eyes moved between Zabuza and Doflamingo, with a mixture of vigilance and curiosity in his heart. He knew that the two men in front of him were not ordinary enemies, and there must be a bigger conspiracy behind them.

"Okay," Orochimaru finally spoke, his tone revealing a hint of reluctance and curiosity, "I want to see who you can take me to see."
