Naruto: Starting with the power of two systems

Although the cave contained a lot of experimental equipment, there were also some human remains and severed limbs.

However, after searching the entire cave, they found no trace of anyone else.

Ryosuke looked at the sound and image ahead with hostility.

"Are you kidding me? Do you want to die?"

The audio-visual system seemed a bit panicked.

"My lord, I really didn't lie to you. This is Orochimaru's experimental site, and it's the only one in Otogakure."

"Perhaps he's out, he'll probably be back soon."

Ryosuke looked at the equipment on the lab benches; it was clear that someone had just been using them.

I have a bad feeling. Did Orochimaru know I was coming and slip away early?

That's a bit of a shame. We finally got the chance, but this guy got away before we could.

This was something he hadn't expected; was the other person really such a coward?

In the original story, when Pain was recruiting Orochimaru, he wanted to gouge out Orochimaru's Rinnegan as soon as he saw it.

Why did he run away without even seeing me? Is Madara Uchiha really that famous?

As for the possibility that Orochimaru might return, as mentioned in the audio, Ryosuke believes that such a possibility is extremely small.

In the original storyline, Orochimaru abandoned many bases.

Each time he found something of value in his research, he would abandon the experimental site.

This guy is being really cautious; he might never come back.

I couldn't possibly be foolish enough to wait for him here.

He spoke to Haku and Zabuza.

"Let's go, get out of here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he headed towards the exit.

Upon hearing this, both Haku and Zabuza left.

The voice and shadow that remained in place dared not make a sound, somewhat surprised that the other party had left just like that.

He only breathed a sigh of relief after the other party completely disappeared into the cave, feeling fortunate to have escaped with his life.

But what should I do about betraying Orochimaru?

Then he became annoyed again.

Did Madara Uchiha leave because he thought Orochimaru would never return?

That made him feel somewhat at ease.

On the other side, three people dressed in red clouds and black clothes set off from the Land of Rain, heading northeast towards the Land of Waterfall.

These three were the three Akatsuki members recruited by Pain.

The man with short black hair and red stripes painted on the lower half of his face, carrying a large sword, was none other than Pipa Juzo.

He grumbled as he continued on his way.

"Do you guys think that Madara Uchiha is still alive?"

Half an hour ago, Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, summoned the three of them to a meeting and ordered them to go to Takigakure to start collecting the Tailed Beasts.

Afterwards, they headed north to the Land of Earth to collect the two tailed beasts there.

Takigakure is just a small, hidden village.

The guy next to him, wearing a helmet and with green eyes, is named Kakuzu. I think Ryugakure was his former village.

You can tell from the scratched Takigakure Village pattern on this guy's clothes.

A headband with scratches symbolizes betrayal.

This guy is a rogue ninja from Takigakure.

With him leading the way, things are naturally very convenient.

In addition, since both Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts in the Land of Earth have left Iwagakure, there is an opportunity to collect the Tailed Beasts from their bodies.

Leader Pain not only gave them this order, but also informed them that there were people impersonating Madara Uchiha who were also collecting tailed beasts.

This is quite surprising.

Someone actually dared to impersonate Uchiha Madara. They're incredibly bold. Don't they know how many people will lose sleep if this person doesn't die?

Kisame said as he hurried along.

"Didn't Lord Payne say that guy was an imposter?"

He naturally didn't believe it, because he had seen the real Banana.

After he killed his superior, Suigetsu Fubuki, he became a rogue ninja of Kirigakure.

Later, he met Uchiha Madara and was successfully recruited into the Akatsuki organization to work together to realize that great man's grand plan.

A plan that would truly bring peace to the ninja world—a plan even Pain, the Deva Path, was unaware of.

In fact, Madara was the real mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization.

He naturally wouldn't tell anyone else.

Pipa Juzo was somewhat speechless.

Even if the leader says that, I still don't quite believe it.

"The leader also said that that guy can use the Mangekyou Sharingan to activate a giant Susanoo, and he can also use a giant fire release technique."

"If the three of us encounter that guy, I'm afraid not only will we fail to complete the task assigned by the leader, but we might also have a hard time saving our lives."

Who else in the ninja world can do that?

Even among the current Uchiha clan, it's impossible for Ryosuke Uchiha, who is known as the strongest man in the ninja world.

Even if they had defeated Kumogakure, the victors would still have been far weaker than Madara Uchiha, who was known as the Asura.

Even if it wasn't Madara Uchiha, he was still a hidden monster-level powerhouse in the ninja world.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent the three of them.

If the three of them team up, they'd probably be able to collect all the tailed beasts except for the Nine-Tails of Konoha.

Kisame fell silent upon hearing his words.

In fact, this guy's guess wasn't entirely unreasonable.

But he had indeed seen the real Banana.

That guy can use Madara's abilities, which means that he is also very powerful.

He wasn't worried about his own life; he was only worried about not being able to collect the tailed beasts and complete the mission.

Without Madara's true plan, the ninja world will never achieve true peace.

In this world filled with betrayal and deception, true salvation can only be achieved by realizing the Eye of the Moon Project.

His superior, Suigetsu Fubuki, had ordered him to eliminate traitors, but he unexpectedly discovered that Suigetsu Fubuki was the biggest traitor himself.

As a high-ranking official in the village, he not only betrayed the village's interests but also betrayed the village's ninjas, causing them to die.

And he even aided and abetted the evildoers.

Upon learning the truth, he killed him without hesitation.

He said slowly.

"Actually, we might not necessarily run into that guy on this trip."

Pipa Juzo still had some concerns.

After all, he wasn't very lucky.

He almost died at the hands of a Konoha genin, and now he has become a rogue ninja and a member of the Akatsuki organization.

"That's really hard to say."

Meanwhile, Kakuzu, who was on his way, was getting impatient listening to the conversation between the two.

"Shut up, all of you, you're making so much noise."

He's starting to have murderous intent.

If these two weren't both rogue ninja from Kirigakure, and might have teamed up, he would have already made his move.

This guy carrying a big sword is just an ordinary ninja, a weakling.

But that shark-like guy is actually quite strong.

It's possible that he's a monster like him, otherwise the leader wouldn't have recruited him.

Pipa Juzo heard what the other person said.

He was very dissatisfied.

"How dare you talk like that?"
