I'm in Naruto, but the system says I'm in One Piece.

Unfortunately, Orochimaru was no ordinary Jonin. His Fire Release ninjutsu, powered by a massive amount of chakra, was not something that could be easily resisted.

Needless to say, Hoshino Yu can unleash the 3000 million volt Thunderbird without needing any chakra. Not to mention a bird several meters in size, even a Thunderbird the size of a tailed beast would be no problem for him.

However, there's no need to reveal your trump card when dealing with a Jonin.

Boom—

The "composite ninjutsu" formed by the intertwining of lightning and fire easily shattered the Sand Village's wind-style ninjutsu, causing a violent explosion.

Hoshino Yu braved the howling wind, which whipped his hair and made his clothes flutter wildly.

After waiting a moment, when the smoke cleared, the area that was originally grass was now charred black, and a deep crater had been blown out.

The Sand Village Jonin was also lying in the deep pit, his body completely blackened, his fate unknown.

This was after Hoshino Yu stopped; if the consequences had been disregarded, the Jonin would have been annihilated on the spot.

The high temperature contained in lightning is incomparable to that of fire-style techniques.

Seeing this, Orochimaru waved his right hand, and dozens of long snakes suddenly shot out from his sleeve, instantly wrapping around the Sand Village Jonin and binding him tightly.

Immediately afterwards, the venomous snake's fangs pierced the opponent's skin, and the venom then invaded the meridians, completely sealing off the opponent's chakra and ability to resist.

According to Hoshino Yu's Observation Haki, the Sand Village Jonin still had a faint breath and had not completely died.

This unexpected encounter ended in a complete victory for the master and his apprentice.

"Yu, did you develop that single-seal lightning release ninjutsu yourself?"

"Yes, teacher," Hoshino Yu jumped to Orochimaru's side upon hearing this, feigning panting as he asked, "How does the Thunder Bird's power feel?"

Orochimaru's gaze fell on his disciple, a hint of amusement flashing in his golden snake eyes. He pondered for a moment and replied calmly:

"Hmm, not bad."

As he spoke, he walked towards the Sand Village Jonin, and at the same time said:

"Copy this Lightning Release ninjutsu onto a scroll later so I can study it."

Upon hearing this, Hoshino Yu felt somewhat helpless.

Orochimaru's obsession with ninjutsu is ingrained in his very being. Whenever he encounters a technique he has never seen before, he will relentlessly investigate and research it thoroughly.

It was entirely expected that he would be targeted by the Thunderbird as soon as he took it out and showed its power.

The problem is, if you can just clap your hands and shout for something to happen, how can you record ninjutsu on a scroll?

"Fine, let's just record it. We'll write 'ugly' on it later and let him figure it out himself."

Hoshino Yuuki thought to herself, and walked toward Orochimaru.

Seeing the Sand Village Jonin lying in the pit, tightly bound by the long snake, he also took out two scrolls containing Sand Village ninjas from his ninja tool bag.

"Teacher, those two Chunin are in here."

"Dead?"

"One dead, one wounded. I was thinking of capturing them and interrogating them for information," Hoshino Yu asked after releasing the Sand Ninja from the scroll. "What do we do now? Torture them on the spot, or...?"

Before he finished speaking, several extremely fast figures rushed towards him within the range of his Observation Haki.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the visitors were all ninjas from the Anbu.

Hoshino Yu didn't bother to say anything more. Since Orochimaru had already made the arrangements, he could just wait quietly for the Anbu to arrive.

Having psychic abilities is great; you can directly command your summoned beasts to deliver messages.

I need to get myself a cool summoned beast someday.

Before long, several sounds of Body Flicker Techniques cutting through the air came from behind them, and several Konoha Anbu ninjas wearing white cloaks and masks appeared beside them.

Orochimaru has also deactivated his transformation technique and returned to his original appearance.

"Lord Orochimaru!" the group exclaimed in unison upon seeing Orochimaru.

"Take these ninjas back for interrogation and thorough questioning."

"yes!"

The Konoha Anbu are known for their decisive and efficient actions. After responding, they immediately raised their hands to form hand seals, collected the Sand Ninja into a scroll, and then quickly disappeared.

"Let's go, Yu." Orochimaru smoothed his long, straight hair and said calmly, "We'll encounter this kind of thing often in the future."

"Yes, Orochimaru-sensei." Hoshino Yu, who was prepared to be a tool, nodded in response.

Then, the two figures flashed and instantly disappeared into the green plain.

......

Within the territory of the land of rivers.

Hoshino Yu and Orochimaru were walking on a street in Riverside Town.

The town is filled with the gentle flow of streams, the houses along the streets have green walls and white tiles, and the people coming and going are mostly merchants and travelers. The air is filled with the mixed aroma of river delicacies and herbs, which is the typical scene of a border town between the two countries of Fire and Wind.

This was Hoshino Yu's first time visiting a town in another country, and she looked around with a sense of novelty.

Orochimaru, however, had a specific purpose in mind, and led him directly towards a certain place ahead.

After walking for a while, the two arrived at a house with a sign that read "Nikko Inn". Before they even entered, a middle-aged male innkeeper with a smile on his face came out and respectfully said:

"Are you two guests looking to stay at the hotel?"

"Yes."

"Alright, please follow me, both of you."

After speaking, the waiter bowed slightly and stood to the side, and Orochimaru and Hoshino Yu stepped inside.

Once inside, the waiter led the two through the back hall and into a secluded back courtyard room. After opening the door, he discreetly withdrew and closed the courtyard gate behind him.

Looking at the dim surroundings, Hoshino Yu pondered for a moment and had a guess in her mind.

This is no ordinary post station; it's most likely a secret intelligence outpost set up by Konoha in the Land of Rivers.

Using the Land of Rivers as a transit point to establish a disguised base, and then taking the opportunity to infiltrate the Land of Rain, is a classic long-term intelligence infiltration and stealth tactic.

The initial ninja operations and other intelligence work should be conducted using this approach to intelligence warfare, which is the normal practice.

Orochimaru walked straight to the desk and sat down, then raised his hand and lightly tapped the table.

dong dong dong-

The next moment, the hidden compartment of the cubicle popped open, and a commoner dressed in plain clothes, but with sharp eyes, stepped out. Upon seeing Orochimaru, he immediately knelt and bowed on one knee.

"Lord Orochimaru, you've arrived."

Hoshino Yu stood to the side, his Observation Haki covering the surroundings, alert to any movement.

At the same time, he thought to himself that this intelligence infiltration work was exactly the same as what he had seen on TV in his previous life.

"The situation within the Land of Rivers," Orochimaru said coldly, staring at the person before him.

Upon hearing this, the civilian immediately took out an intelligence scroll from his pocket, presented it, and whispered a report to his superior:

"Recently, Amegakure ninjas have been frequently spotted in the Land of Rivers. They are all reconnaissance teams, seemingly scattered, but in reality, they are scouting the border defenses of the Fire and Wind Kingdoms."

"In addition, there have been frequent chakra fluctuations within the Land of Rain. I heard that Hanzo of the Salamander has recently been consolidating the fighting forces of Amegakure, seemingly paving the way for future actions."

Get to the point.

Orochimaru unrolled the scroll, his gaze sweeping over the markings and ciphers on it.

Seeing this, Hoshino Yu also moved closer to observe.

The scroll mainly contains information related to the Land of Rain and Hanzo, and the text is obscure and not easy to read, as if some special secret writing technique was used.

"There have been frequent ninja activities along the border of the Land of Wind recently, but their actions are too covert, and we can't figure out their core purpose yet." The civilian glanced at Hoshino Yu, then took out a scroll from his pocket and placed it on the table, saying, "This is the latest map of the border strongholds of the Land of Rain."

Orochimaru closed the scroll and handed it to Hoshino Yu beside him, then opened the scroll showing the distribution of the borders of the Land of Rain and studied it carefully.
