Chapter 261 Going to the Hidden Rain Village Again

"Orochimaru... Lord, please allow me to call you that for the last time." After three years of living as an ordinary person, Kimimaro's expression became much more lively.

To describe it more carefully, it is three parts nostalgia, three parts sadness, and three parts relief.

"Lord Orochimaru..." Tayuya's psychology was equally complicated.

When she was still in the Otogakure camp, she was the first to emphasize to Sasuke that "power has a price" and that if one wants to gain the power of the curse seal, one must and can only pay with freedom.

Therefore, after becoming a prisoner of Konoha, he would take risks to remove the curse.

Qin is the one with the most distinct attitude, full of hostility.

After all, they had just buried Sack and Toth when they saw Orochimaru who treated them as chess pieces.

Even though they were just a temporary infiltration team, when helping them close their eyes, Qin recalled the scene when Orochimaru was selecting sacrifices for the Impure World Reincarnation, and Toss, a small man less than 1.6 meters tall, stood in front of her.

"You have all grown up." Orochimaru felt very emotional about his former subordinates, who now seemed to be completely different from each other and yet had the same goal.

"Don't act like you're a teacher!" Qin couldn't suppress her anger. Even though she guessed that it was the same team again, she still couldn't let go of the new and old hatreds. "I will never forget what you did to us."

"I don't want you to forget either." Orochimaru still had that signature evil smile, "I, Orochimaru, have always done what I want to do. It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future. Therefore, you are always welcome to avenge them."

"Do you think I can't?" Qin's blood pressure rose and she was about to rush forward.

But she was grabbed by Tayuya, "Don't embarrass yourself, you weak woman who doesn't even have a curse seal."

After all, the former "Five Sound Ninjas" were also consumables, just of higher quality and more durable.

"Hehe... seeing how patient you were with... that kid named Iruka, I thought you had changed your personality. But Tayuya, it seems like you've really changed." Orochimaru looked at the two girls with interest.

"How did you..." Qin almost blurted out.

Is "How did you know" considered self-explosion? Will he use Iruka as a threat in order to regain control of himself?

"Do you know me well?" Tayuya used to be a hot-tempered person, and she couldn't pretend to be friendly for long. "I don't know how you did it, but you have been monitoring us through the curse seal, right?"

Only after the curse was erased did she realize what freedom was.

"That's right, but I don't intend to explain." Orochimaru actually found the challenge from his former subordinates new.

Kimimaro had cold sweat on his forehead and couldn't get a word in.

"It's so lively." Luo Yi, who was hiding in the tent, looked at the ceiling with his chin in his hand, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Three women make a drama... No, Orochimaru at this moment has no gender, so you can barely consider him half a woman.

Two and a Half Women...

"Could this be part of your plan?" Jiraiya couldn't help but think of his disciples in the Rain Country.

"Can't you guys change the lines to be more creative?" Luo Yi complained helplessly, "I'm not the author, how would I know so much? Just let them let themselves go, okay?"

As a writer, Jiraiya was speechless.

In comparison, inspiration keeps coming. For the next book in the "Intimate" series, I'll use Orochimaru as the protagonist, either the male protagonist... or the female protagonist.

"Stop making so much noise." Sasuke lost his patience and thrust the Kusanagi sword into his waist. "Orochimaru, if you don't leave now, it will be dark soon."

Karin had just secretly told him that Itachi and Kisame were suspected to be in disguise in the temporary tent of the Konoha Maruko Shop, eating and drinking secretly.

I heard that there is a 20% discount for loyal customers.

Stupid Onii-chan must be unable to control her appetite.

"Oh Sasuke, thank you for saving me." Orochimaru had a dead look on his face, and no gratitude could be seen from his expression.

"The war is imminent, can you guys older than me be a little more serious?" Sasuke held his forehead with his hand as he felt a headache, his own team was full of mismatched people.

"That's right, there's a lot of time to go on, and it's not too late to talk about it after the war." Kimimaro knew what was more important.

"Heh... Hearing you say 'there's a long way to go' really gives me a different feeling." Orochimaru still had that rude tone.

Although what he said was true, no one had expected that Kimimaro would live to this day.

Orochimaru had thought about curing the blood disease by eliminating the corpse veins. The reason why he didn't do so was, firstly, because it would not benefit him, and secondly, with his research and technology at that time, he couldn't perform surgery that interfered with the genetic level.

"Forgive him, Kimimaro. Orochimaru is now reshaping his outlook on life. It's his fault for causing him to experience a near-death experience just now." Luo Yi poked his head out of the tent at the right time.

Everyone: "..."

The old saying is true, evil people are better than evil people. When it comes to talking, it's Master Luo (with Northeastern accent).

"Ahem... why did you come out?" Orochimaru avoided the attack.

"I think Senior Brother Jiraiya is saddened by the scene and misses his apprentice. I also plan to go out for a while."

"Where?"

...

The country of rain, the village hidden in the rain.

It seems that the rain will never stop falling in this country shrouded in the shadow of war, just as the survivors who have lost their relatives and friends in the war will never stop shedding tears.

It should be like this...

"Oh, isn't this Luo Yi and his cute little princess fiancée with white eyes? What rare guests, how come you have time to visit Yuyin today?" The auntie who runs the steamed bun shop in the center of the village saw the visiting strangers from afar.

"Madam boss, could you please not ignore me?" The tall Jiraiya was reduced to a background board, feeling helpless and wanting to cry.

“Hahaha…how can an uncle like you care about these things like an old man?” The aunt generously packed a few hot buns and handed them over without asking, “These are for you, eat them while they’re hot.”

"Hehe...thank you, boss lady."

"Why are you being so polite? Are you here to see Lord Payne again?"

The villagers who have a slight personal relationship with Xiaonan are extremely kind to the "children blessed by God", Luo Yi and Hua Huo. The auntie at the bun shop is one of them.

It is said that after the "Trial of God", Lord Pain changed the governance policy of the Hidden Rain Village, requiring villagers from all walks of life to elect representatives to meet with the "Angel Lord" regularly to provide feedback on public opinion.

Interestingly, Nagato himself would occasionally regard himself as Pain's "messenger of God", and walk around the streets with Konan, and the villagers secretly called them "the couple favored by God".

It can be said that this is very close to the truth.

The West Tower, home of Nagato and Konan.

"Dululululul... Meimei, look who's here?" Jiraiya couldn't control himself when he saw the child. He came forward with an exaggerated expression and made faces.

There was no time to stop it.

Thus, Jiraiya experienced a scene that he would never forget.

The little baby slowly raised his chubby pink little hand, and then... slapped the face that had no sense of distance, "Weird, old man, wooooah!"

Everyone: "..."

There was a small red handprint on Jiraiya's left cheek, and he had the illusion that he was being slapped by old man Fukasaku's frog kumitsu.

"Brother," Luo Yi raised his hand and patted his drooping shoulders half comfortingly and half mockingly, "Hot knowledge: Babies can express their wishes when they are about one year old. Remember this, you will need it in the future."

"This child is quite smart." Xiaonan smiled bitterly with his eyebrows bent, but the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably.

"That's right, don't you think about whose child it is?" Nagato's image had been completely shattered, and he was so proud that he became a little carried away.

Compared to the Kingdom of Waves, the Kingdom of Rain is further away from the battlefield, and Meimei's mental development seems to be a little ahead of that of ordinary children. So under Luo Yi's suggestion, although it is a bit risky, Meimei is still mainly taken care of by her biological parents.

Of course, you don’t need to worry too much about safety, because…

"Hey, you're here." The cat-man Pianyi, wearing Akatsuki's uniform, came down from the attic on the top of the tower where he currently lived.

After all, Madara's Rinnegan is still in Nagato's possession, so it would not be surprising if Obito came to snatch the eyes at any time; in comparison, the Land of Waves, where the former Jinchūriki are hiding, is not too risky, as it can be guarded by Itachi and Kisame.

"Everything OK?" No need to ask in detail.

"It's not bad. The number of White Zetsu trying to invade Yugakure has skyrocketed since three days ago. They are really good at earth escape techniques, and can even avoid the "Rain Tiger Freedom Technique." Pian Yi showed his small eyes and openly mocked Tian Dao.

"Well... we still have Junior Master-Uncle here." Nagato could actually talk about "national defense outsourcing" so shamelessly.
