But since we're already here, we might as well keep looking.

If you can't find it within an hour, then leave.

He chose the least likely direction and went west.

Move quickly and only observe places that seem like good hiding spots.

About 20 minutes later, he found several more carcasses of wild animals lying on the ground.

If you kill a animal but don't eat it, it proves that the animal wasn't after food.

Shinji searched the surrounding area carefully for a while and finally found another cave by the stream.

I cautiously went inside, but it was empty.

"Isn't this the place?"

Shinji suspected he had come to the wrong place.

But just as he was about to turn and leave, his peripheral vision caught sight of something placed in the corner.

Because of the dark color and the overlapping of shadows, he did not notice it at first.

When I got over there, I saw that it was a wine jar.

Shinji was greatly disappointed, but he still picked up the wine jar and examined it carefully.

Just then, something strange happened.

A voice suddenly came from inside the wine jar: "Let me out! Damn it, let me out now!"

Shinji's hand trembled, and he almost threw the broken thing away.

"You...you're inside? What are you?"

Shinji suddenly seemed to understand why the mission description mentioned that someone had seen a ghost.

This wine jar is inconspicuous and easily missed if you're not paying attention, especially when it's placed in a corner in the shadows. How could you not be scared if you suddenly heard someone calling for help?

He was startled!

[Chapter 120. Who is this cunning old fox? (Bonus chapter for my Snowball account!)]

"Huh? Isn't that old sly guy's voice?"

"Great! I'm finally saved! Let me out!"

Upon hearing this, Shinji not only didn't open the lid, but instead pulled out his snakeskin sword...

A talking wine jar—this scene is rather eerie.

"Who's the old fox? And what are you?"

"That old fox is a real sly fox! He tricked me and even put me in a jar. Ugh, stop talking nonsense and let me out right now, or that old fox will be back."

Shinji didn't care about that old schemer, or rather, he was looking for that guy anyway.

At this moment, what he was holding was just an ordinary wine jar, not some kind of sealing vessel, so the thing inside was most likely a cursed spirit.

Moreover, his train of thought was so clear that he was at least a Level 1 Spell Spirit, or even a Special-Grade Spell Spirit.

It's possible that some so-called old fox found their weakness and trapped them in this wine jar.

So, just to be on the safe side, Shinji decided... to burn the cursed spirit inside!

Cut down trees and start a fire.

After a series of skillful preparations, Shinji put the wine jar into the fire to heat it without saying a word!

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? What are you doing? I hear a crackling sound..."

"Ah! It's so hot! So hot! So hot! So hot! So hot!"

"Did you throw me into the fire?!"

"You bastard, you son of a bitch! Are you trying to kill me?!"

"I'm cooked! I'm melting! Let me out! I was wrong, I shouldn't have scolded you. Help! Help! Help..."

Shinji remained unmoved, numbly adding more firewood into the container.

Gradually, the noise inside subsided until, with a loud bang, the entire wine jar shattered.

Sizzle~

The fire was extinguished, and scorching steam rose several meters high.

"It's scalding hot! Which bastard put me in the fire to boil?"

As the steam dissipated, what appeared before Shinji was a little brat with white hair, purple eyes, and a mouthful of sharp teeth.

Although he put on a fierce appearance, it was clear that he was all bark and no bite, and his body was already swaying precariously.

Clearly, his previous experience of being stuffed into a wine jar and then roasted over a fire had severely depleted his energy.

"Humans?"

Shinji was somewhat surprised and regretful, and then put away the snakeskin sword.

"Nonsense! Of course I'm human! You bastard, you burned me with fire, didn't you? Just you wait, I'll get my revenge! I'll chop you into pieces!"

"Kid, hasn't anyone ever told you to be respectful and polite in front of someone who can decide your life or death at will?"

The white-haired imp froze instantly, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

Because he didn't even see the other person's movements clearly; they just blinked and disappeared, and then a cold, stinging sensation came from the skin on his neck.

Shinji knelt on one knee behind the brat, holding the guillotine horizontally, wedging the brat's neck into a semi-circular groove.

You can't catch me!

Suddenly, the white-haired brat forcefully slit his own throat, and Shinji could clearly see the blade of the guillotine slice through his neck.

However, the white-haired imp was not decapitated; he only staggered for a moment before stumbling and running towards the stream not far away.

Shinji narrowed his eyes slightly. "That was... a water transformation technique? This brat is a descendant of the Hozuki clan."

He couldn't be mistaken; the part of his body that came into contact with the blade had indeed turned into liquid.

Furthermore, the fact that a living person could be put into a wine jar meant that, apart from the special effect of the water-transformation technique, he couldn't think of any other possibility.

This gives them a good reason to run desperately towards the stream.

It's just a pity that he needs immediate combat power, and doesn't have the time to play the nurturing system.

So even if the other party was a member of the Hozuki clan, he wasn't very interested and decided to just run away.

But just then, a figure flashed by, crossed the stream, and casually flicked his wrist, sending out more than a dozen terrifying venomous snakes.

The white-haired brat gritted his teeth, squeezing out the last drops of chakra in his body, and once again used the Water Transformation Technique to dodge the snake's bite.

But before he could even feel happy, his whole body went numb, and he collapsed with a thud by the stream.

That one-meter distance is the difference between heaven and earth!

"Although the Water Transformation Technique can make you immune to all physical attacks, as long as snake venom is injected into it, the toxin will instantly spread throughout your body when you regain your physical form."

"If you're lucky enough to escape into the stream, you might be able to neutralize the poison by diluting it. But I think that after staying in that jar for so many days and being forced to maintain the water-based technique, you probably don't have much chakra left."

The white-haired imp lying on the ground glared angrily at the newcomer, but due to poisoning, his whole body was paralyzed and he couldn't even speak.

"That's right, keep that expression. I love this kind of vibrant young body."

o((⊙﹏⊙))o.!

EMMMMMMM......

I have a feeling this train isn't going to kindergarten; it contains a wealth of information that's quite terrifying!

"So you let my precious experimental subject go, almost making me come all this way for nothing, is that right?"

That cold gaze was very unsettling. After seeing the person, and connecting the information about the Hozuki clan's brats, experimental subjects, and snakes, it wasn't hard for Shinji to confirm that this person was Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, who had been instantly killed by Itachi's single glance!

So that white-haired brat is Hozuki Suigetsu?

Suigetsu is now a stubborn young man who dares to call Orochimaru a cunning old fox. However, after being imprisoned for several years, he was driven crazy and now acts like a mouse seeing a cat when he sees Orochimaru. This shows that Orochimaru is indeed skilled at torturing people.

"Interested in joining the cult of evil gods?"

"Ok?"

Orochimaru was completely stunned. What evil god cult?

Don't you even consider the atmosphere around you?

"Alright, you can join our evil god cult. I'll pretend I didn't see what happened today, and you can take the person with you."

Orochimaru was amused and exasperated. "You? You think you can stop me?"

Shinji said seriously, "I didn't originally intend to do this, but I suddenly wanted to give it a try. Anyway, you're not planning to let me go easily, right?"

"The young man's ignorant yet fearless courage... Oh well, we don't have many ordinary test subjects left to use recently anyway."

Hidden Shadows, Many Snake Hands!

Orochimaru shook his head slightly, then suddenly made his move.

The venomous snake, enough to kill someone with trypophobia on the spot, immediately shot out from his sleeve.

Shinji calmly wielded his guillotine, slashing and parrying!

Crackle, crackle...

The venomous snakes, broken into three pieces, fell to the ground.

No matter how many snakes you have, they'll all die.

Hozuki Suigetsu strained to widen his eyes, and only then did he notice that the person who had burned him earlier was holding the guillotine he had always longed for!

(PS: Five chapters today. I'll post a separate chapter notification if I need to adjust the update schedule. Also, I still owe 6 chapters, and I'll try to finish them in the next few days. I'm going to take wedding photos on the 10th, and I can't keep staying up so late. My dark circles are so bad I look like a panda, and my hair is falling out in clumps.)
