Naruto: The Ninja World's Life Buyer

Chapter 159 Enemy's Armaments, Accept Them

The border of the Land of Rain, the Iron Forest.

The stronghold established by the serrated teeth, the Rain Country branch of the Takaya Trading Company, is located here.

The massive steel ruins were transformed into a fortress, where the ninjas of the Fuma clan used their expertise in traps and mechanisms to make it as impenetrable as an iron barrel.

Sawtooth sat atop a huge iron box, a roast chicken in his hand, his mouth dripping with oil as he ate. Before him knelt a row of trembling, wandering ninjas.

"waste."

The serrated edge spat out a piece of bone.

"I'm paying you guys, and you can't even gather a single piece of intelligence?"

He stood up and walked up to the wandering ninja.

"I'll give you three more days."

"If we still can't find out where Shinta of Amegakure is, I'll chop you all up and feed you to the dogs."

"roll!"

The wandering ninjas scrambled away.

Sawtooth sat down again and sighed.

"Being a boss is really not easy."

At that moment, a figure emerged from the shadows.

She was a tall woman carrying a huge Fuma Shuriken on her back.

The leader of the Wind Demon Clan, Wind Demon Sasa.

She initially wanted to lead her clan to join the Akatsuki organization, but was intercepted by Sawtooth, who recruited her with gold and the promise of "reviving the Fuma clan".

Currently, the Wind Demon Clan is the core backbone here.

"Lord Sawtooth, my people have discovered something amiss. A group of people is approaching from the swamp to the west," Sasa reported.

"Iwagakure?"

"No. It's Konoha."

"Oh? It seems the important person the boss was talking about has arrived."

Sawtooth threw away the roast chicken and wiped his hands.

"Go open the door; we must welcome our distinguished guests."

Half an hour later.

Three figures appeared at the camp entrance.

Orochimaru was leading the group.

Behind him stood a member of the Hyuga branch family and a ninja from the Aburame clan.

"It's truly a place—full of wildness."

Orochimaru looked at the shabby surroundings and the deadly traps, and let out a hoarse laugh.

"Sousuke's subordinates are indeed a lot of interesting people."

The door opened.

Sawtooth walked out carrying a large sword.

"Welcome, Lord Orochimaru."

Despite his arrogance, Serrated still maintained a minimum level of respect in front of the Three Sannin.

"I'm Sawtooth. The boss asked me to meet you here."

Orochimaru turned his head, his gaze falling on Sawtooth, then sweeping over the Fuma clan ninjas behind him.

"The Wind Demon Clan, oh—"

Orochimaru licked his lips.

"It seems that Sosuke's business is quite large. He has even taken over such a powerful family."

"Just trying to make a living."

The serrated edge moves aside to make way.

"Please come in. Everything the boss asked me to prepare for you is inside."

The group entered the fortress.

A temporary war reserve warehouse.

Boxes of supplies were neatly arranged and sealed with the seal of the Takaya Trading Company.

The saw teeth opened one of the boxes.

Inside were rows of specially made gas masks and small bottles containing green liquid.

"This is the gas protection equipment."

The saw teeth explained.

"In addition, there is a specially made antidote and high-purity soldier ration pills over there."

"very good."

Orochimaru picked up a gas mask and inspected its quality.

"Please thank Sosuke-kun for me."

"Besides supplies, there's also intelligence."

The saw took out a map.

"This is a map that the Wind Demon Clan risked their lives to find."

Three points are marked in red on the map.

"These three places are Hanzo's secret warehouses."

"The explosive clay brought by Iwagakure is hidden here. Hanzo plans to make landmines out of this clay and bury them along the path that Konoha will inevitably take during its attack."

"Very interesting."

Orochimaru's finger traced across the map.

"Onoki of Iwagakure is indeed a cunning and scheming fellow. If he can't win on the front lines, he'll try to sabotage from the flanks."

""

"but----"

Orochimaru looked up at the serrated edge.

"Sousuke-kun asked you to assist me, not just to provide information, right?"

"certainly."

The jagged teeth grinned.

"The boss said this batch of explosive clay is good stuff. It would be a shame to blow it up."

"If we can seize it—Takaya Trading Company is willing to pay a high price to buy it back."

"Hehehe————"

Orochimaru laughed.

"How greedy! They even want to take all the enemy's weapons."

"However, I like this kind of greed."

Orochimaru stood up.

"In that case, there's no need to destroy it. Tonight, we'll go and receive these supplies."

"in addition----"

Orochimaru looked out the window, towards the depths of the Land of Rain.

"I heard there's an organization called 'Akatsuki' that's been quite active here lately?"

Sawtooth's heart skipped a beat.

The boss specifically instructed us to protect the Akatsuki organization, especially those three brats.

"There is such an organization. It's just a bunch of daydreaming brats."

"I don't care," said the jagged man, pretending not to care.

"Yeah?"

Orochimaru smiled meaningfully.

"I'd really like to meet Jiraiya's apprentice."

He had seen those children during the Second Shinobi World War. At the time, he even suggested killing them to save them from suffering in the war.

Unexpectedly, they not only survived, but also caused such a commotion.

"However, business comes first."

Orochimaru walked outside.

"Gather your men. Tonight, we're going to give Hanzo a surprise."

rainy night.

The mountainous region in the western part of the Land of Rain.

In a secluded valley, several huge warehouses stand.

The area is heavily guarded. Rain Ninja patrols are patrolling the surrounding area.

"Who goes there?!"

The rain ninja on the watchtower suddenly shouted.

He saw countless points of light emerging from the darkness.

not human.

It is the Wind Demon's Shuriken.

The enormous shuriken whistled through the air.

The Wind Demon Clan's signature technique—[Shadow Windmill - Decapitation].

Dozens of enormous shuriken pierced the watchtower.

"Enemy attack!!!"

The alarm blared throughout the valley.

"Where did these bandits come from again? They're courting death!"

The Amegakure Jonin in charge of guarding the area roared and charged out.

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

An earthen wall rose up, blocking the sword in his hand.

But next second.

call-

Countless venomous snakes emerged from the cracks in the earthen wall.

"The Formation of Ten Thousand Serpents!"

Orochimaru appeared atop the earthen wall. He opened his mouth, and the Kusanagi sword extended, instantly piercing the chest of the Iwagakure Jonin.

"O-Orochimaru?!"

The Rain Ninja looked at this nemesis of Konoha with horror.

How did he end up here?

"Clean it up."

Orochimaru drew his sword and coldly gave the order.

"yes!"

Sawtooth led the ninjas of the Fuma clan into the room.

This was a one-sided massacre.

Orochimaru's existence was akin to a game-changer. His poison gas, swarms of snakes, and uncanny martial arts techniques rendered the defending forces utterly incapable of mounting an effective counterattack.

The Sawtooth Clan and the Wind Demon Clan quickly took control of the gates of each warehouse.

Half an hour later, the battle ended.

There were no survivors.

Orochimaru stood in front of a warehouse and pushed open the door. Inside, there were piles of white clay bags.

Exploding clay.

If all of this clay were detonated, it would be enough to flatten a small country.

"So this is the explosive clay from Iwagakure—"

Orochimaru picked up a piece of clay and kneaded it.

"The activity of this chakra is truly unique. No wonder its power is greater than that of the Exploding Tags."

"Quick! Move it!"

The saw teeth directed its subordinates.

"Move as much as you can!"

The Fuma clan ninjas frantically shoved these dangerous items into the sealing scroll.

Orochimaru watched this scene without stopping it.

His mission this time is to "disrupt the alliance between Iwagakure and Amegakure".

Stealing supplies not only weakens the enemy but also sows suspicion between Hanzo and Iwagakure. After all, if it were Konoha's regular army, they would usually choose to blow up the warehouse directly.

This kind of robbery, where they take and eat, is more like that of bandits or—internal double-crossing.
