Thank you to [Thomas Sui Feng] for your support!
——
Qingyu had not thought about it in the direction of Sunagakure Village.
In fact, the original trigger of the Third Ninja War was the disappearance of the third Kazekage.
certainly.
At that time, people didn't know that the third generation Kazekage was made into a figure by the grown-up Scorpion.
I just simply thought that the third Kazekage was missing.
In the ninja world that was already in turmoil, it was like a volcano on the verge of erupting. The disappearance of the third Kazekage was equivalent to injecting a catalyst into the volcano.
This greatly reduced the strength of Sunagakure Village, which was already relatively weak. The imbalance of power formed in an instant made Iwagakure Village launch an attack on Sunagakure Village without hesitation.
These things.
Qingyu knew clearly.
It was because he knew these things that he left Sunagakure Village alone.
Sunagakure Village at this point in time.
No need to specifically target it at all.
They will collapse on their own!
But……
Qingyu didn't expect it.
In Sunagakure Village, the third generation Kazekage is actually still cooperating with the spy Mani who has infiltrated into the hidden part of Konoha Village to study how to launch a sneak attack on Konoha Village while taking advantage of the war between Konoha Village and Kumogakure Village.
"Since you have the idea of attacking Konoha Village, then I must help you!"
Qingyu didn't expect that Sunagakure Village would dare to think so.
This should not be put to good use!
Suddenly.
Qingyu took out a piece of paper from his arms.
The last thing he lacks now is paper.
Then he took out a pen and started writing back and forth on the paper.
that's all.
Qingyu wrote repeatedly for about half an hour.
The handwriting on the paper began to overlap with the notes written by Mani, the spy of Sunagakure Village in his memory.
"That's almost it."
Qingyu stared at the writing on the paper. The content on it was just an arrangement of a bunch of words, and there was nothing actually readable.
but……
These words can form a new word.
After Qingyu practiced every word here to perfection, he took out a piece of paper from his arms again.
This time.
His eyes became serious.
Qingyu took a pen and started writing on the paper. Lines of text formed a secret letter.
After finishing writing this confidential letter.
Qingyu rolled it up, put it on his body, and then disappeared in a flash.
Now this matter needs to be done by him personally, and the shadow clone cannot replace him.
This matter is important.
He was still worried about leaving it to the shadow clone to wait for the results.
Almost instantly.
Qingyu appeared on a tree in the woods.
The trunk of this tree has a circular flying thunder magic formula.
Blah blah blah...
Papers were flying around Qingyu's body, changing constantly, and his whole appearance also changed little by little.
After these changes are finally over.
Qingyu directly transformed into the spy of Sunagakure Village, Mani, and quickly rushed towards the west direction of Konoha Village.
Mani was just caught yesterday.
There must be no reaction here.
Qingyu ran at an extremely fast speed towards the west where Mani had been sending messages.
after a while.
Qingyu came to a tree in the woods to the west. He raised his feet and jumped lightly, and he went directly to the top of the tree.
You can see a tree hole as soon as you enter.
There is a bird's nest next to the tree hole, but there is no bird on it.
"right here."
Qingyu saw this tree hole in the memory of Mani, the spy of Sand Hidden Village.
This tree hole is not naturally formed, but was dug by Mani ten years ago, specifically for contacting Sunagakure Village.
Suddenly.
Qingyu first touched the tree hole, but there was nothing inside.
Then he put the written letter in his hand.
Immediately afterwards.
Qingyu jumped down and walked out into the distance.
After leaving some distance.
Qingyu raised his hand to his lips, inhaled hard, and blew out hard.
"Shh~~~"
A whistle sounded with a specific rhythm, which was like a secret signal.
As the whistle sounded.
Almost a minute later.
A white homing pigeon flapped its wings and flew over, stopping on the bird's nest in front of the tree hole. It stuck its beak into the tree hole, took out the secret message inside and placed it on the bird's nest.
The pigeon picked up the secret message on the nest with its feet, flapped its wings and left directly.
Such a scene.
Completely fell into Qingyu's eyes.
See it really clearly.
"Are all the homing pigeons in the ninja world so smart?"
Qingyu had seen many such scenes in Mani's memory. When he saw such a scene with his own eyes, he still felt it was very rare.
Whoosh!
Qingyu's figure disappeared in a flash.
He directly used the Flying Thunder God technique and returned to the tower.
Now that the secret message to the Third Kazekage has been passed on, at least those in Sunagakure Village don't know that Mani has been discovered, so they can take advantage of this opportunity and use it in turn.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Not long after Qingyu came back, two more figures came back.
These two people were the same group of paper clones who had gone out earlier and turned into spies from Sand Hidden Village.
The two God Paper clones were carrying many things in their hands.
A table was also brought back.
They just bought these.
After getting these things back, the two God Paper clones began to arrange them in the house.
It didn't take long.
They had already tidied up the house.
After all this is done.
They then released the shadow clones and turned them directly into messages, returning to Qingyu's body.
All of a sudden.
Everything these two people did was reflected in Qingyu's consciousness.
After the two of them turned into the ninjas of Sunagakure Village, they went to the grocery store in Konoha Village to buy a lot of things in a high-profile manner.
These things were not purchased deliberately, but indeed needed to be arranged in the tower.
At the time of final payment.
The two also deliberately had some quarrels, which impressed the store owner with their appearance.
"good."
Qingyu nodded, these things will have some effect later.
Now everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
…
Konoha Village, somewhere.
This is a small hill-like place, and it doesn't look much different from the outside.
Only when we got to the nearest position could we see a secret door hidden by the tall grass on the hill.
This is Orochimaru's secret base and where he conducts human experiments.
Aoba didn't know to what extent Orochimaru's human experiments had reached, but judging from the current time point, Yamato should not have been experimented on yet.
Just at this time.
Qingyu's two divine paper clones came here.
They have become like those two root ninjas.
One of the root ninjas stood at the door and knocked lightly on the door.
After a while.
Knocked again.
Like what password is being used.
It wasn't until he knocked for the third time that the secret door opened.
"What's matter?"
A voice came from the gap in the secret door. This person was not Orochimaru, but an assistant in Orochimaru's laboratory.
"We have something to see Lord Orochimaru." The root ninja said in a deep voice.
"come in."
The assistant glanced at Qingyu's two divine paper clones, confirmed that these two people had been here before, and were both Danzo-sama's people, and then opened the secret door completely.
As this door opens.
Qingyu's two divine paper clones walked inside one after another.
This is a dark staircase, and only after the secret door is opened can a little light shine through.
Rumble…
Just after the two God Paper clones walked in, the secret door behind them was closed again.
"It's so dark!"
The body of the God Paper clone that turned into the young Root member suddenly shook, and his right hand was slapped on the stone wall at the entrance.
Buzz!
His hand trembled slightly, and when he raised his hand to leave, an imperceptible black circle appeared on the wall shrouded in darkness.
"You guys watch the road."
The assistant said angrily. He was walking in front. Having been here all year round, his eyes had already adapted to such darkness.
"understand!"
The paper clone behind them nodded repeatedly. This darkness was no problem for them. After all, Qingyu had been in the torture department.
The three of them walked down the entrance steps one by one and came to a long corridor.
This corridor is dark as a whole, and there are two snake-shaped candlesticks on the wall almost every three or four meters away.
There is a burning candle on the candlestick, but I don't know if it is a problem with the candle. The fire is not very bright.
These faint candlelights illuminate the road here.
The assistant walked in front.
Qingyu's two divine paper clones walked behind.
"Tick tock!"
"Tick tock!"
"..."
Just as the three of them were walking forward, they could faintly hear the sound of water dripping from around them, which was particularly clear in this quiet corridor.
This corridor is very long.
The three of them walked for five minutes before reaching the end.
"Just a moment."
The assistant said indifferently to Qingyu's two divine paper clones, and then walked towards the room in front of him.
That's when the assistant walked into the room.
The Paper God clone in the back reached out again and pressed a black circle on the wall.
"Come in!"
The assistant walked out of the room, and then stood at the door, looking at the two people quietly.
Qingyu's two divine paper clones didn't say anything, and walked directly into the house.
The two of them just walked in.
As soon as I saw it, I saw huge cylindrical instruments.
These instruments are connected in a row, containing yellow-green liquid, and the body fluids are soaked in unconscious human experiments.
There are two rows of this kind of instrument. Where the two rows converge, there is a white experimental table with various precision instruments and many test tubes for experiments. Some beakers still have liquid bubbling in them.
Aoyu's two God Paper clones looked at the appearance inside. They looked around, but they didn't see Orochimaru.
suddenly.
Both of them felt a ball of chakra appear behind them.
"It turns out it's you two!"
A voice that seemed to have seen through the vicissitudes of the world sounded, and then a man with long black hair and straight hair walked out from behind Aoyu's two divine paper clones. He was wearing the same ninja costume as the Konoha Murakami Jounin.
this person……
It was none other than Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas of Konoha!
"We are ordered to..."
Qingyu pretended to be the root ninja who usually helped Orochimaru dissolve the body and said slowly.
Just before he finished speaking.
He was immediately interrupted by Orochimaru.
"Whose order?"
Orochimaru changed his indifferent tone, and his tone suddenly became serious. The body in front of the two people suddenly turned around.
There was a fierce look in Orochimaru's snake eyes, staring at Aoyu's paper clone of God.
"Danzo-sama's order." Qingyu's paper clone said in a deep voice.
After saying this.
Qingyu's two divine paper clones didn't speak anymore.
certainly.
Orochimaru, who was in front of the two of them, didn't speak either.
Now this time.
Orochimaru's eyes widened, and there was evil power in those narrow snake eyes.
All of a sudden.
None of the three people spoke.
The atmosphere is almost solidified.
After a while.
A smile appeared on Orochimaru's face, and his long tongue stuck out from his mouth and licked it towards the corner of his mouth.
"Interesting!"
"Amazing!"
"This is a ninjutsu I've never seen before!"
"I didn't expect there were people like this in the village!"
Orochimaru began to mumble, but he did not lower his voice.
After Orochimaru's words came out.
Qingyu's two divine paper clones had a strange thought in their hearts.
not good!
seem……
Orochimaru recognized them!
How is this possible!
You must know that the Divine Paper Clone is a combination of two super powerful techniques, the Shadow Clone Technique and the Divine Paper Clone Technique. The resulting clone is a perfectly simulated physical clone that even the Sharingan cannot see.
If you have to say something, something will go wrong.
Then it is strength.
Otherwise, there will be no problems easily.
After all, the premise of Qingyu's Paper Clone of God is that he has read that person's memory in advance, and uses that person's memory to simulate the actions that person can do.
But……
Orochimaru actually recognized it just by looking at it.
This gave Qingyu a more cautious thought in his body and mind.
If this continues.
Maybe it will be recognized by more people.
That would make things even more troublesome!
"Lord Orochimaru, what are you talking about? Why didn't I understand? We were ordered by Danzo-sama to ask for a batch of corpse-transforming water." Qingyu's divine paper clone spoke slowly. , the more calm you have to be.
After all, he couldn't tell now whether Orochimaru had really discovered something unusual about them or was just deceiving them.
"Hahahahaha!"
After Orochimaru heard the words of the paper clone of God, he immediately threw his head back and laughed, with a meaningful tone in his laughter.
"Okay~"
"Since you need the corpse-transforming water so much..."
"I've given you the recipe as well."
As Orochimaru spoke, he suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a snake from the inside.
This sudden image.
The two God Paper clones who were directly exposed to Qingyu were dumbfounded.
Although Qingyu has already seen Orochimaru spitting snakes in anime.
But seeing such a scene with my own eyes.
Or may there be a faint feeling of psychological discomfort.
Just after the snake emerged from Orochimaru's mouth, the snake's mouth opened wide.
There is a scroll wrapped around the snake's tongue, with the snake's saliva attached to it.
"What is recorded here is the formula for the zombie water. I believe that with your ability, you can prepare it!"
Orochimaru raised his hand and took out the scroll from the snake's mouth, and threw it directly to Aoyu's paper clone in front of him.
Qingyu's Divine Paper clone instinctively took the scroll.
only……
There was a vague feeling in his heart that something was wrong.
Is this Orochimaru testing?
Or did Orochimaru really see something?
Is the content in this scroll true or false?
What is his purpose in doing this?
Small question marks popped up in the head of Qingyu's Paper God clone, and these questions have not yet been answered.
"What is recorded in this scroll is the formula for the zombie water. This is something Danzo came to me for, but I didn't even give it to him."
Orochimaru had a meaningful smile on his face, and his snake eyes stared closely at the face of the paper clone of the Blue Feather God.
"If you still need some finished products, I'll get you a few more bottles."
After Orochimaru said these words, he once again looked deeply at the face of Qingyu's divine paper clone, then turned around, facing directly away from Qingyu's divine paper clone, and walked towards the direction of the experimental table. .
Orochimaru came to the experimental table and opened the drawer on the experimental table.
Put your hand in.
A small bag was taken out from inside.
The bag was filled with small bottles of corpse water.
immediately.
Orochimaru turned around and walked back with this small bag in hand, until he walked in front of Aoba's two divine paper clones.
"This bag of corpse-transforming water is all I have in stock at the moment. I'll give it all to you. When I need it, I will prepare it myself."
Orochimaru raised his hand and handed the bag in his hand to Aoba's paper clone.
"???"
Qingyu's Divine Paper clone instinctively raised his hand to take the bag, which caused a lot of little question marks to pop up in his head.
what does this mean?
Did Orochimaru see it?
Still don't see it?
This caused Aoyu's paper clone to have a lot of questions in his head, and he was a bit unpredictable about Orochimaru's behavior.
If you didn't see it...
So why do you say something incomprehensible?
You must know that Orochimaru is not an overly neurotic Riddler.
but……
If Orochimaru sees it...
So why do you need to give him corpse-turning water and the formula for corpse-turning water?
What on earth is this person going to do?
After Qingyu's paper clone took the bag, he glanced at Orochimaru blankly. He became very cautious and had a complicated mood, and did not dare to act rashly.
"Huh?"
Orochimaru smiled and stared at Aoyu's paper clone, and then asked: "You have got what you want, why don't you leave, or is there anything else you want?"
"there is none left."
Qingyu's paper clone of God immediately shook his head and said: "What we were ordered to take this time is the corpse water, and now we will hand it over to Danzo-sama."
Say it.
Qingyu's two divine paper clones were about to turn around and leave.
"oh?"
At this moment, Orochimaru's voice sounded again, asking meaningfully: "Is it really Danzo-sama?"
"It's really Danzo-sama." Aoyu's paper clone said bravely. The more it reached this moment, the more it insisted on not letting go.
"really not bad!"
Orochimaru nodded, a glimmer of admiration flashing in his snake eyes.
"If you don't dislike it, come to me with your true body. I'm willing to accept you as a disciple."
suddenly.
Orochimaru said something that stunned Aoba's paper clone.
really!
Sure enough, he saw it!
Qingyu's paper clone of God even couldn't believe his ears.
It seems...
Not only did Orochimaru see through that he was the paper clone of God, he also took a fancy to his own body.
In Qingyu's view.
The disciple that Orochimaru said he wanted to take on.
They are basically Orochimaru's pawns.
In other words, it is an alternative to containers.
Mitarashi red beans are a very obvious example!
Being able to be accepted as a disciple by Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, may be an irresistible temptation for any ninja in Konoha Village.
But Qingyu is different!
Aoba is not only a wall-mounted person who has traveled through time with the system, but he has also become a disciple of Tsunade, one of the three ninjas.
Faced with such words.
There was no response.
Even vaguely scared.
This meant that he was being targeted by Orochimaru.
"Lord Orochimaru, you are kidding me. I am a ninja at the core. I don't have any other ideas at all except the mission." Aoba's God Paper clone shook his head and said.
"I gave you the corpse-transforming water, are you still unwilling to admit it?"
The smile on Orochimaru's face gradually faded, and he shook his head at the two Aoyu paper clones in front of him, and his narrow snake eyes began to become cold.
"If I guessed correctly, you should be a shadow clone combined with a special transformation technique, so you have such an effect!"
Orochimaru's deep voice sounded. After he said these words, Qingyu's paper clone was completely sure that Orochimaru was not joking or guessing, but truly saw it.
This is a bit too scary!
Not even a fight.
Not even physical contact.
Just a glance.
I instantly saw through the paper clone of God!
Is this the ability of Orochimaru among the Konoha Sannin?
Qingyu's paper clone sighed in his heart. He felt confident. After all, he could release the shadow clone at any time and his identity would not be exposed at all. However, the changes in front of him made him want to find out why he was exposed.
"What a special ninjutsu!"
Orochimaru stared at Aoyu's divine paper clone and sighed again.
"Whether it's breath, appearance, demeanor, or personality, it's like they were carved from the same mold!"
Orochimaru's snake eyes repeatedly looked at Aoyu's paper clone, as if looking at a work of art, and the coldness in his eyes had turned into appreciation!
"You must have put in a lot of effort to be where you are now. I think at least acting requires a lot of time."
Orochimaru already seemed to be conducting academic research.
This made Qingyu's Paper Clone of God feel very bad.
seem……
If his body is here.
Maybe he will be captured directly by Orochimaru for human research.
Orochimaru is more like this.
The more cautious and resistant the Qingyu's divine paper body and mind becomes.
Faced with what Orochimaru said.
in silence.
No response at all.
but……
Orochimaru didn't care at all whether Qingyu responded or not, his snake eyes were still flashing with thinking, and he continued to analyze.
"But……"
Orochimaru's words changed slightly, his brows gradually furrowed, as if he had thought of something incomprehensible, and his whole thoughts were changing in different ways following his analysis.
"I can feel it..."
"Your soul feels young!"
"You must be young, right?"
"genius!"
"I can't think of any words to call you other than genius!"
"You can create this level of ninjutsu at such an age..."
"It would be a pity if you don't become my disciple. I am a person who specializes in ninjutsu!"
Orochimaru made his own judgments continuously, and almost every word he said was correct, except that he did not judge that Qingyu was a time traveler.
To the end.
Orochimaru once again extended an olive branch to Qingyu.
Such talent.
He still really wants to have the opportunity to train!
In his heart, he really hopes that Qingyu can become his disciple.
"Lord Orochimaru, you are joking, I am just a basic ninja." Aoyu's paper clone shook his head again, but he still did not admit it.
After hearing Qingyu's words, Orochimaru smiled again, and then waved his hand.
"I'll give you time to think about it slowly..."
"Let's go!"
"I hope I can get a positive answer from you next time we meet!"
Orochimaru didn't do anything to Qingyu.
Instead, he generously released Qingyu.
This is precisely the brilliance of Orochimaru.
Over the years, Orochimaru has relied on his unique personality charm to fool many people who are willing to regard him as their destiny in life. They are willing to work hard and do anything for Orochimaru, such as Kimimaro.
The skill of Orochimaru's words just now was very obvious.
Not only did he provide benefits to Qingyu, he gave all the corpse-transforming water to Qingyu, and also gave Qingyu the formula of the corpse-transforming water.
He also told Qingyu that he had seen through his technique, but did not target him and even extended an olive branch to him.
Finally, there is a sense of déjà vu that the door to Orochimaru's house is always open to you.
"..."
Qingyu's paper clone was stunned for a few seconds, then turned around and prepared to leave.
Now he is confident.
If Orochimaru is really willing to let them go, they will take the formula of corpse water with them.
But if Orochimaru just used a strategy to sneak attack at the moment when they turned around, he could just remove the God's Paper Clone.
However.
Just when Qingyu's two divine paper clones came to the door of this room.
Orochimaru's voice sounded behind the two of them.
"soul."
Orochimaru faintly uttered two words. The two words were not loud, but the scene was extremely quiet, and they clearly reached the ears of Qingyu's two divine paper clones.
Suddenly.
Qingyu's two divine paper clones stopped for a moment.
"Don't you want to know how I figured it out?"
Orochimaru said meaningfully, his snake eyes staring at the backs of the two walking to the door, and then continued talking without the two divine paper clones asking.
"The souls of the two of you are the same, so it can be judged that you are clones of the same person, and you still have physical clones. That should be a special change of the shadow clone!"
Orochimaru's voice sounded again, and after these words reached the ears of Qingyu's two divine paper clones, Qingyu's attention immediately focused.
I see!
It’s actually a matter of the soul!
at this point.
But there is no way to improve it!
"You can imitate these two people so much through the use of clones. It can be said to be very powerful!"
Orochimaru admired Aoba's paper clone of God.
"If I hadn't been very knowledgeable in the study of souls, I wouldn't have been able to accurately identify them!"
"When you two came in, I could tell that the souls of your two clones were wrong. Plus, I know these two people and know what their souls feel like."
"So you don't need to worry..."
"Looking at the entire Konoha Village, no one can see the problem in your clone except me."
"Feel free to use it boldly!"
Orochimaru said with a smile, he seemed to see Aoyu's soul far away on the tower through Aoyu's paper clone.
He happened to have been studying the issue of reincarnation during this period of time.
This also made him understand the truth, that is, when looking at a person, you should not look at his body, but his soul.
The appearance of the body can be imitated.
But the soul is inimitable.
