Simultaneous Transmigration: Starting from Naruto, I'll conquer the crossover anime/manga secti

Chapter 122 Yang Cheng: This wave has made us incredibly rich again.

The two sides currently in a standoff are indeed only roughly equal in terms of strength.

Although Orochimaru's hands were crippled, he should still be able to hold his own as a Jonin.

Although the Sound Four are a bit weak, with their Cursed Seal II activated, they can take on a Jonin with their four-on-one numerical advantage.

Kabuto Yakushi goes without saying; his strength is no less than that of Kurenai Yuhi or Asuma.

So if a real fight breaks out now, Yang Cheng and his team might have a certain advantage, but it's definitely not a sure thing that they'll win.

"Even if we cannot defeat you decisively, as long as we delay long enough, Konoha's reinforcements will arrive here, and you will still have no chance of escape."

Orochimaru remained noncommittal to Kurenai Yuhi's words. Instead, he licked his lips and said with a mocking expression, "When it comes to experience as a ninja, I was still wearing open-crotch pants when I was roaming the ninja world."

Now, in Weiye Village, are you sure that besides you and a few others, there will be other reinforcements coming?

And what makes you think you're the only ones who will receive reinforcements? You should know that I've been a rebel against the village for many years and still have quite a few subordinates.

If my people arrive first, who do you think will perish here?

Orochimaru's slightly sinister words immediately made Kurenai and Asuma's expressions turn ugly.

They knew very well that Konoha was in a mess, and even if reinforcements arrived, their strength wouldn't be much.

However, they had no idea how many trump cards Orochimaru actually had up his sleeve.

Although they were all Jonin of Konoha, compared to the experienced Orochimaru, they could only be considered rookies, both in terms of strength and methods.

They participated in the Ninja World War, but at that time, they were at best considered insignificant.

Orochimaru not only participated in several Shinobi World Wars, but was also a former leader of Konoha. The difference in their experience was huge, and it was clear that they were no match for each other if they tried to outmaneuver him with words or tricks.

"What do you want in return for the red beans? Since we've been chasing them all this way, it's impossible for us to return empty-handed. We might as well fight to the death!"

After understanding the current situation, Asuma gradually calmed down.

He could avenge his father's death later; right now, he had to ensure the safety of Kurenai Yuhi and Konoha's future Yoshinari.

"What I want is actually very simple: if this child can come with me, I can leave the red bean to you."

After all, I was only interested in the modified curse mark on her body, and if I'm not mistaken, that was your doing, wasn't it?

When Orochimaru said those words, his admiring gaze fell on Yang Cheng once again.

As his former disciple, Orochimaru knew very well what kind of person Anko was.

Anko simply doesn't have the ability to improve cursed seals, and neither does the corrupted Third Hokage.

"impossible!"

"You're dreaming!"

As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma both rejected his suggestion in unison.

Putting aside Yang Cheng's talent and strength, from the perspective of the entire Wei Ye, Yang Cheng's importance and value are even greater than Anko's.

Even from a personal perspective, if Yang Cheng were traded for Hong Dou, how could Hong Dou forgive them once she wakes up and learns everything?

"If you want hostages and can guarantee a safe escape, I can take on that role."

As a Jonin of Konoha and the son of the Third Hokage, shouldn't that be enough?

Because of his poor relationship with the Third Hokage, Asuma was always unwilling to admit that he was the Hokage's son.

However, in order to ensure the safety of Hong and the others, he deliberately emphasized his identity to increase his value as a bargaining chip.

"I've already said, all I want is Nanjiu Yangcheng. As for your status as the Hokage's son, it's worthless in my eyes."

Is the Hokage's son so great? I was once a Hokage's disciple, and I even killed the Hokage myself. What is the Hokage's son anyway?

In my eyes, the two of you plus Hongdou are not as valuable as this child alone.

"Either keep the child and find someone else, or you can try to take the child from me."

Although Asuma was always unwilling to acknowledge his status as the Hokage's son, because of this relationship, when ordinary people heard his name, the first thing they thought of was that he was the Hokage's son.

This is the first time he has been so despised and scorned despite being presented with the identity of "the son of the Hokage".

Orochimaru was not exaggerating. In the ninja world, the relationship between a mentor and his disciple is sometimes even stronger than that between a parent and child.

Orochimaru was unwilling to compromise, and it was even more impossible for him to use Yang Cheng, a child, as a bargaining chip.

So after exchanging a glance, Asuma and Kurenai were already secretly preparing to make their move.

As long as he buys time with Yang Cheng and allows Hong to successfully cast her illusion, they can grab the red beans and retreat. This operation is highly feasible.

However, just as Asuma and Kurenai were about to make a desperate gamble, Yosei, who hadn't spoken a word until now, stepped forward.

"If I'm willing to go with you, you'll let Teacher Hongdou go, right?"

"Since that's the case, I agree. Let's make the exchange now."

Upon hearing Yang Cheng's words, Asuma and Hong were both taken aback. Just as they were about to reach out and grab Yang Cheng, he waved his hand, creating a wall of azure flames that blocked them.

Orochimaru was overjoyed to see Yang Cheng make such a decision.

Although he had previously felt that given the bond between Yang Cheng and Hong Dou, he might make such a choice.

Orochimaru never expected that Yang Cheng would agree so readily.

However, what Orochimaru didn't know was that Yang Cheng also hadn't expected that he would make such a condition.

When the Konoha Crush plan began, Yang Cheng had been thinking about how to legitimately learn from Orochimaru. Now, the other party's request was like a pillow being delivered to him when he was dozing off.

To prevent Yang Cheng from going back on his word, Orochimaru also placed a cursed seal on him.

Yang Cheng: Another ability to add buffs has been acquired, this is a huge win!

After Yang Cheng was implanted with the "Heavenly Curse Seal," Orochimaru faithfully allowed Kabuto Yakushi to put down Anko.

After checking on Anko's physical condition to ensure her safety and that Orochimaru had not left any hidden dangers, Yang Cheng took out a roll of paper from his ninja tool bag and stuffed it into Anko's East African Rift Valley.

Everything Yang Cheng did was done right under Orochimaru's nose.

The latter did not intervene or investigate, showing that Orochimaru still possessed a certain level of prestige.

Furthermore, the better the relationship between Yang Cheng and Anko, the better Orochimaru saw it as a good thing, because it meant that Yang Cheng had a weakness.

To be honest, he is quite satisfied with Hongdou now, even though he thinks this disciple's aptitude is beyond his reach.

But that didn't stop Orochimaru from taking on a disciple who pleased him greatly.
