The Wind-Controlling Swordsmanship from Under One Person

Chapter 209: Land of Thunder, Hidden Cloud Village (Two in One)

Conspiracies and the like are all beside the point. Qin Ye is not interested in playing his own game.

He understood what Orochimaru meant. Chakra could not be eliminated, but destroying the consciousness of the tailed beast was equivalent to killing it.

Without the gathering of consciousness, chakra might dissipate into nature and eventually merge into the world.

Qin Ye didn't know if this method would work, but it was worth a try.

"Do you know how to do this?"

Orochimaru did not answer, but just stared quietly at the devouring sac in Qin Ye's hand, with undisguised greed in his eyes.

Qin Ye saw through Orochimaru's thoughts, took out the holy blood again, flicked his finger lightly, and another drop of blood flew towards Orochimaru.

Orochimaru reached out and caught it steadily, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across his face:
"One drop?"

"Tell me your method first." Qin Ye said.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and quickly weighed the chances of success if he robbed the place by force.

He subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth with the tip of his tongue, but finally suppressed the impulse in his heart and gave up the idea of ​​taking action. He was a little unpredictable about the young man in front of him, and acting rashly might backfire.

"Of course, we should seal the tailed beasts first, and then study them slowly. If you ask me now, I can't give you an accurate answer." Orochimaru said truthfully.

Qin Ye thought about it and it made sense.

A good cook cannot cook without rice. No matter how talented Orochimaru is, it is difficult for him to carry out experiments without corresponding research subjects.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Ye took out an empty container, poured ten drops of holy blood into it, and then threw it to the excited Orochimaru. The latter looked so excited, like a primary school student who had just got a new toy.

"Don't be happy too soon. Later, I will get you a Jinchūriki for your research. If you do well, you will get a reward. If you don't, I will let you know that the Holy Blood is not so easy to get." Qin Ye's expression was stern, and there was a hint of chill in his words, like a biting cold wind.

Orochimaru did not take Qin Ye's threat seriously. His focus was on the three words "Jinchūriki".

"Get me a Jinchūriki? Haha, let's not talk about whether you can do it or not. This is considered possible. How are you going to explain it to Akatsuki?"

"This is not something you should worry about." Qin Ye said lightly.

Orochimaru gently stroked the container containing the holy blood in his hand, and without further questioning, he just casually threw out a scroll.

"Use this to contact me."

After Qin Ye put the scroll into his devouring bag, he said nothing more. After removing the Instant Prison Shadow Killing Formation, he turned and walked out of the cave.

He was not afraid that Orochimaru would hide away and stop working after taking the holy blood. Now, as long as he wanted, he could find Orochimaru at any time. His things were not so easy to get.

Orochimaru looked at Qin Ye's departing back, a meaningful smile slowly appeared on his sinister face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

……

After leaving Orochimaru's snake cave, Qin Ye walked back along the same path and soon found Kakuzu who was groping towards this side.

Seeing that Qin Ye was safe and sound, Jiaodu was startled for a moment, then quickly stepped forward, frowning slightly:

"Are you okay?"

Qin Ye nodded and simply explained that Orochimaru was no match for him and had escaped, not knowing where he had hidden.

"Let's go to the Land of Lightning. Capturing the tailed beasts is the most important thing. We can talk about Orochimaru later."

Kakuzu looked at Qin Ye's back thoughtfully, and it was obvious that he had doubts, but he didn't say much. He just kept an eye on him, guarding against Qin Ye and Orochimaru secretly colluding to harm him.

But he really couldn't understand why Qin Ye would cooperate with Orochimaru, and why he would plot against him.

In the mountains and forests, the atmosphere seemed a bit dull and depressing.

Seeing that Jiaozu had not caught up, Qin Ye turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Kakuzu pondered for a moment and then said, "Wait here for a while. I'm going to do something."

Qin Ye knew what he was going to do, nodded, and leaned against a tree nearby, waiting quietly.

After a while, Kakuzu came back with a slightly strange look on his face.

He searched the snake cave carefully and indeed found no trace of Orochimaru. He also found signs of a fight, and even Orochimaru's shed skin was still there.

It seems that Ye did not lie.

However, Kakuzu always felt that the other party was hiding something from him, but he had no evidence.

If it were an ordinary person, they might secretly speculate in their hearts when encountering such a situation, but Kakuzu was not like that. He asked directly.

"Hey, Ye, have you known Orochimaru for a long time? Do you have some kind of cooperation? You're not from Konoha, are you?"

Qin Ye turned his head and glanced at Kakuzu indifferently, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person.

Seeing Qin Ye's unconcealed look, Kakuzu couldn't help but twitch his eyes slightly, feeling a little annoyed.

"What's that look in your eyes?"

"Use some brains. If I were from Konoha, would I be able to kill Kakashi so easily?" Qin Ye asked back.

Kakuzu thought about it carefully and felt that what Qin Ye said was indeed reasonable. Hatake Kakashi was not an unknown person. Even he had heard of his nickname "Copy Ninja". Even if Konoha used some cruel trick, it would never sacrifice such a person.

But he still had some doubts in his heart, and just when he was about to continue asking questions, he found that Qin Ye had already walked away.

Helplessly, he had to suppress his doubts for the time being, crushing the gravel under his feet and following closely.

The Land of Thunder, one of the five great nations, is located close to the sea and nestled between towering mountain gorges.

The place is filled with clouds and mist, as if shrouded in a mysterious veil. From time to time, deafening thunder can be heard from high in the sky.

The river between the mountain gorges is like a huge and clear mirror, reflecting the scenery in the sky completely, like a fairyland.

After several days of long journey, Qin Ye and Jiao Du stepped into this area.

The two walked on the water and strolled towards the Hidden Cloud Village.

Although both of them were standing on the water, their methods of use were completely different.

The technique is to concentrate the chakra in the body to the soles of the feet, and through precise control, release the chakra in appropriate amounts and frequencies, forming a special force field between the soles of the feet and the water surface.

This force field can change the surface tension of the water, as if forming an invisible cushion under his feet, allowing him to walk on the water as if on flat ground.

This is a common method in the ninja world, and all newly graduated Genin know it.

Qin Ye did not have chakra and did not know how to use this method. The reason why he could step on the water was because he used the wind element to reduce his own weight. There was also a flow of air under his feet, like a light paper boat, floating steadily on the water.

This method, which was completely different from chakra, caused Kakuzu to look at Qin Ye from time to time. Finally, Kakuzu couldn't help but ask:
"Ye, you're very weird. You don't know any Indian techniques, and you can't control chakra, but you do have a lot of weird and strange abilities. Are you really a ninja?"

"What else?" Qin Ye responded casually, obviously not intending to dwell on this topic too much.

Then, he changed the subject: "We're almost at the Hidden Cloud Village. Let's think about how to gather information on the Jinchūriki."

The Hidden Cloud Village is different from other ninja villages. Its people are simple and honest, martial and bellicose, and attach great importance to resources and territory. They can be said to be ambitious people in the ninja world and have had conflicts with various ninja villages.

Under this kind of folk culture of fighting against defeat, the villagers of Yunyin Village are well aware of the importance of unity, have a strong sense of belonging and loyalty to the village, and their overall strength ranks second among the five major countries.

If a place is united, it will also be very xenophobic. What's more, the Hidden Cloud Village is always in a state of war preparation and has very strict defenses.

Therefore, it is impossible to walk into the Hidden Cloud Village openly.

Outsiders who enter the territory will be monitored as soon as possible, and may even be arrested and questioned.

Kakuzu thought for a moment and asked, "How good are you at stealth?"

"It's okay." Qin Ye responded briefly.

The Shadow Release he mastered is considered a top-notch stealth assassination method in the Naruto world.

"Then let's sneak in quietly first, avoid a fight, and investigate secretly." Kakuzu said slowly, "The Kumogakure is full of reckless people. If a conflict breaks out, the Raikage will probably come out. By then, let alone capturing the tailed beast, it will be difficult for the two of us to evacuate safely."

"Okay." Qin Ye nodded and agreed to Kakuzu's plan.

Entering the village quietly without firing a gun is an old tradition here.

After receiving Qin Ye's reply, a large number of black silk threads suddenly emerged from Kakuzu's body, and soon wrapped him tightly. From a distance, he looked like a big ball of fur.

"let's start."

Kakuzu's voice came from the fur ball, and then he fell directly into the water, like an ordinary ball of seaweed, swaying towards the direction of the Hidden Cloud Village.

After all, they are from an assassination unit, so this infiltration method is difficult to be discovered.

The sunlight shines on the water, making the waves sparkle and the light and shadow intertwine.

Qin Ye curled the corners of his mouth, and his whole body seemed to be swallowed by the sea, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The Hidden Cloud Village is a ninja village built on a mountain island and is surrounded by clouds, hence its name.

On a sub-island, two Cloud Ninjas, a man and a woman, were chatting idly.

"Hey, have you heard? Someone destroyed the Takigakure Village." The man said. No matter which world they are in, men seem to be accustomed to paying attention to the world situation.

"Ah? Takigakure?" The woman was obviously unaware of this news and was a little surprised: "Doesn't their village have a tailed beast? How could it be destroyed? By whom?"

"Not sure." The man shook his head. "It's said there were only two people, but it could also be Konoha. My uncle's second cousin works in the Anbu. He said he saw a large number of Konoha's Anbu outside Takigakure. It's obvious that only two people could destroy Takigakure."

"Konoha? Why are they doing this?"

"Who knows, maybe it's for the tailed beasts."

The woman was a little worried after hearing this. "Will Yukito-sama and Killer Bee-sama be okay?"

"Tsk." Hearing the woman's words, the man sneered disdainfully: "Konoha can only bully small villages, and dare to come to my Kumogakure? Raikage-sama's ninjutsu can tear their Hokage into pieces. No, there's no need for Raikage-sama to take action, Killer Bee-sama can defeat Konoha."

"That's right, Lord Killer Bee is someone who can fight Konoha's Yellow Flash on equal terms." The woman nodded with a hint of admiration on her face.

There are two tailed beasts in the Hidden Cloud Village, the Two-tailed Matatabiki and the Eight-tailed Gyuki.

I don’t know if it’s because of the village customs of the Villagers in Kumogakure, but the Jinchūriki of these two tailed beasts get along very well with the tailed beasts in their bodies. They are all perfect Jinchūriki, able to bring the power of the tailed beasts in their bodies to the extreme.

At the same time, the Killer Bee they are talking about is also the brother of the Raikage. He participated in the Third Ninja World War and his own combat power is definitely at the top level in the Ninja World.

When Pain assigned tasks to the members of his organization, he did not assign the task of capturing the Eight-Tails because he was afraid of its combat power.

If we rush to capture them, there is a high possibility that members of the organization will be killed.

The organization is already short of manpower, and if it suffers further losses, the progress of capturing other tailed beasts will be greatly slowed down.

Therefore, one must wait until all the other tailed beasts are obtained before planning to capture the Eight-Tails. This is the safest and most efficient way.

While the two Cloud Ninjas were still talking, the shadows behind them suddenly began to move.

The two men were completely unaware until the shadow wrapped around them like a snake. Only then did they suddenly realize something was wrong, but it was too late.

slam-la-

The shadow line tightly wrapped around the two men and dragged them into the sea.

Immediately afterwards, a black curtain enveloped them, swallowing them up in an instant and disappearing without a trace.

In the shadow killing array, the two people who were tied tightly by the shadow lines were full of fear in their eyes, their mouths were blocked, and they made a "wuwu" sound, staring at the young man in front of them.

Qin Ye's mind moved slightly, and the shadow that bound the two people's mouths withdrew.

As soon as his mouth was released, the male Cloud Ninja immediately shouted loudly: "Who are you? How dare you break into our Hidden Cloud Village!"

"I'll only ask once." Qin Ye's words were filled with murderous intent: "Where is the Jinchūriki?"

"So you were planning to take on the tailed beasts," the man said, his voice suddenly lowered. He stared at Qin Ye with his ox eyes and asked tentatively, "You weren't the one who did what happened in Takigakure, were you?"

Qin Ye was slightly startled. How could the news spread so quickly? The distance between Takigakure Village and Kumogakure Village was not that close.
It seems that the Hidden Cloud Village has always been restless and has placed spies everywhere, otherwise the news would not have been able to spread so quickly.

This Cloud Ninja is quite smart. Just by mentioning the tailed beasts, he thought of the Takigakure Village.

"Since you are so smart, you must know the consequences of rejecting me."

The man's eyes twitched when he heard this. "If you're looking for a Jinchūriki, you should have told me earlier. Our Jinchūriki of Kumogakure aren't like those of other ninja villages, hidden away like vases. If you have the guts, just capture them. Let us go, and I'll take you there."

Qin Ye would naturally not believe such leaked words.

He chuckled and said, "I see you're not smart, you're cunning. Tell me where the Jinchuriki is, or you die."

"I told you, I'll take you there. Our Hidden Cloud Village is huge. You won't be able to find it even if I tell you."

The man didn't seem to sense the murderous intent and continued chattering to himself.

But the next moment, he felt a chill on his neck, and all the sounds coming from his throat leaked out with the chill on his neck.

He subconsciously raised his hand to touch his neck, only to feel something wet and sticky. His head was pushed to the side and slowly slid down, with an expression of astonishment still on his face.
