Naruto: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Otsutsuki

woohoo...

Day after day, the fierce winds relentlessly gnaw at this village buried in the sea of ​​sand.

The Land of Wind, Sunagakure Village.

Unlike Konoha Village in the Land of Fire, which is surrounded by forests, rivers, and warm seasons in the center of the ninja world.

From its very inception, Sunagakure was destined to be accompanied by barrenness, dryness, and endless sandstorms.

In such an environment, the already less-than-prosperous nightlife is naturally even more scarce.

The only places where lights are still on are the guards still on duty and a few ninjas who have to take turns standing guard in the night wind.

"The sandstorm tonight... it's really fierce." A guard wearing a knitted hat and wrapped tightly in his cloak couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He turned his head to look at his taciturn companion beside him and casually asked, "Hey, you've been to Konoha before, haven't you? What's the night view like? Is it really as good as the rumors say?"

"Konoha..." The ninja known as Snake Leech raised his head slightly, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes. "It was such a wonderful place. There were night markets, lights, steaming stalls, lively crowds, and weather that wouldn't scratch your face."

In just a few words, a picture of a bustling, bright, and happy Konoha street is painted.

The ninja in the knitted hat listened intently, his eyes involuntarily lighting up.

Beautiful leaves... beautiful environment... beautiful air...

Just thinking about it makes one yearn for it.

"If only I could go to Konoha once," he murmured. "Even just a glimpse would be better than guarding this desert every day."

"I've heard that the people of Konoha even smell sweet in their breath, is that true?"

"Of course it's true..."

"The leech said softly."

Vaughan...

I'm sorry.

puff!

The next instant, Wolian's body stiffened abruptly, and his pupils contracted to the size of pinpoints.

He slowly lowered his head, looking at the curse mark on his chest, an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Snake leech...you..."

"I'm sorry, Voryan. I've found the path to happiness."

Wolian stared at him blankly, as if he couldn't understand the meaning of those words at all.

"What...did you say?"

A tear slowly rolled down the corner of the snake's eye. "Just as you yearn for, I also want to go to Konoha."

"Moreover, I've already found a way."

Wolian's expression shifted from initial disbelief to confusion, and then gradually to an almost absurd realization.

He seemed to realize something, but dared not admit it.

"You...you bastard..."

He wanted to say something more, but it was too late.

Swish!

A flash of cold light passed by.

The blood should have gushed out, but it was firmly bound by a sealing technique that had been set up before it even touched the ground.

Voryan's body swayed, and then he fell silently to the ground.

"My mission is complete." The leech slowly turned around and looked at the dark figure behind a broken brick wall not far away.

"Of course," Hinata Seiran said, emerging slowly from the shadows in a black robe, casually tossing out a snake-shaped keepsake.

The leech quickly caught it, glanced down at it, and the tears that had been streaming down its face were instantly replaced by excitement.

"This is Lord Orochimaru's token. With this, you can travel to Konoha after the war. As long as the paperwork is complete, you will obtain Konoha citizenship."

"Konoha Village... citizens of Konoha..." Hiruko gripped the token tightly, still lost in thought.

Seeing his almost pious and excited expression, Hinata Seiran couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Orochimaru is truly a genius.

They exploited the situation in the ninja world, the differences between countries, and people's yearning for a "better life" to lure ninjas from other countries into becoming spies.

Sunagakure is located in a desert where life is difficult, while Konoha is located in fertile land where it is prosperous and peaceful.

One is a lonely city in the desert, the other is a prosperous and peaceful ninja village.

The gap between these two factors almost naturally becomes the best "recruitment bait".

Orochimaru, surprisingly, could even make a fuss about something like this.

Really...

Far ahead.

"Here's today's deployment map."

Snake Leech took a deep breath, suppressed its surging emotions, and quickly regained its composure.

"I haven't seen you today, and you haven't seen me today either."

After saying that, he handed a neatly folded defense map to Hyuga Seiran, then picked up the fallen Okuryu and quickly disappeared into the darkness with the body.

Hinata Seiran took the defense map, examined it carefully, and then headed straight into the sandstorm.

Based on the mission Orochimaru gave him, combined with the garrison ninjas sent by the village, and the numerous hidden networks and intelligence he had previously laid out, Hyuga Seiran was able to vaguely deduce part of the situation.

Most of the village's elite troops have probably been transferred to gather intelligence on Uchiha Madara.

The manpower available to support Orochimaru is insufficient.

Of course, the village's higher-ups are probably more concerned with negotiating peace with Sunagakure.

One aspect is to stabilize the border situation as soon as possible.

On the other hand, it was also to devote all his energy to dealing with Ao and Uchiha Madara, two even greater threats.

"However, Orochimaru wasn't taken along in these investigations..."

Hinata Seiran dodged a patrol of guards and turned his gaze to the heavily guarded "prison" in the distance.

"Was it because they were afraid his reputation would grow too high that they kept him stationed at the front lines?"

After the battlefields of Iwagakure and Kumogakure gradually calmed down, the commanders-in-chief were successively sent back to their villages.

Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze have almost both returned to the village.

Orochimaru, however, was "exiled" to the front lines to serve as a commander.

"However, Orochimaru isn't the kind of person who can keep his temper in check..."

Hinata Seiran murmured something under his breath, took out a small bottle containing blood from his pocket, and unfurled a summoning scroll.

"Hai-Xu-You-Shen-Wei!"

"Spiritual communication!"

boom!

White smoke exploded, and a white snake quietly appeared.

The little snake slithered around for a moment, first cautiously looking around, then nodded to Qinglan and suddenly opened its blood-red mouth.

The next moment, accompanied by a strange sound like an alien being ripped open, a figure slowly crawled out of the white snake's mouth.

"Are we there yet?" Orochimaru was covered in slime and smelled strongly of fish.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, he raised his head and looked around.

"Qinglan-kun, as expected, we still have to trouble you with these kinds of infiltration missions..." Orochimaru licked his lips and looked at Hyuga Qinglan, who was completely wrapped in a black robe. "Even your disguise is so good that I couldn't tell the difference."

"It was Lord Orochimaru who made such a thorough arrangement," Hinata Seiran said with a faint smile.

"I was just following orders."

"....."

Orochimaru was clearly used to this way of speaking and didn't say anything more.

He followed Hinata Seiran's gaze to the heavily guarded prison in the distance and suddenly made a joke.

"This is probably the first time we've gone on a mission together."

"Perhaps we'll run into our common enemy in Sunagakure."

"For example... Qing."

At this point, Orochimaru paused, then said calmly, "After all, although you and I are both shadow clones now."

"If we had a chance to capture Ao, but failed because we are shadow clones..."

"Perhaps, I should be angry?"

Ha ha.

Hinata Seiran did not respond.

He followed Orochimaru's gaze to the heavily guarded prison in the distance, his deep blue eyes beneath his black robe curving slightly.

I never said... I'm a shadow clone.

The real shadow clone is still waiting for news at the inn.
