The more Kakuzu thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He dragged Kimimaro away to discuss with him the money-making strategies for this new type of sports game.
"Sasuke, how old are you? How did you manage to come up with so many ways to make money?"
Deidara leaned closer, staring at Sasuke intently, wondering if the kid was also obsessed with money.
Why do you like money so much?
He's clearly a genius in ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu, but it's really wrong for him to research them to make money!
"I just like playing tennis..."
Sasuke shook his head. He really just hadn't played tennis in a long time and was itching to play with someone.
People who associate everything with money could actually try to simplify their thinking...
Chapter 282 Preparing for War, Target Locked
"Breaking news: The Raikage has set off with over three hundred Cloud Ninja, and has sent messages to several other ninja villages, saying that the Sound Village is trying to steal their Two-Tails..."
Three days later, White Zetsu came to inform Sasuke that the Raikage had already taken action.
Moreover, the Raikage didn't even need White Zetsu to deliver the message; he had already sent people to notify the other four great ninja villages.
Judging from this, he plans to bring more than three hundred Cloud Ninja to destroy the Sound Ninja Village.
"No rush, let's wait a bit longer, until they get closer and the other ninja villages appear nearby, then we'll go and greet the Fourth Raikage."
Sasuke lay on the sofa, glanced at Orochimaru behind the desk, and told him to calm down.
The Raikage is coming soon, but that's not enough. We need some spectators so people can see just how ruthless the Sound Village's Sound Shadow is.
By the way, I wonder who Konoha will send to watch. I hope they won't be scared.
Although Might Guy fought the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist alone, very few people probably actually witnessed how he fought.
Now, he's ready to give Orochimaru a good publicity boost.
"what is this?"
Orochimaru held a piece of paper that Sasuke had given him. The things written on it seemed to have nothing to do with him.
"You're supposed to be the Third Hokage's student, and you haven't even learned this?"
Sasuke shook his head in disdain. He had already written down the key points of the performance for Orochimaru, and this guy was still pretending to be stupid.
Orochimaru certainly knew how to deceive people and how to play the good guy.
"Sasuke, you can't say that. The Third Hokage... I've already given up on learning from him..."
After a moment of surprise, Orochimaru looked at Sasuke, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
His relationship with the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was ultimately somewhat complicated.
He originally wanted to work hard to prove himself and ultimately prove to that person that his choice was not wrong.
But as things have progressed, that idea has long since faded.
Now, all he wants to do is develop the Sound Village properly. Of course, he won't give up his passion for scientific research, but all of this is no longer to prove anything to anyone.
He is who he is, the Sound Shadow of the Sound Village, soon to be known as the guardian deity of the Sound Village.
If he can resolve this matter, he will have a status no less than that of the founders of other villages. He no longer needs anyone's approval!
"There are some things we can learn, like inciting people, and even committing heinous acts like genocide, and then using Danzo as a scapegoat..."
Sasuke snorted coldly, never concealing his hatred for the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Danzo must die, those two advisors must die, but Hiruzen Sarutobi must die even more!
Given this antagonistic situation, he needed to completely erase Orochimaru's last remaining teacher-student affection for Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Moreover, to deal with Orochimaru, there's no need for Genon's Bankai; a little gradual, subtle influence will suffice.
After all, this was the person he wanted to stay and work on scientific research with; forcibly stabbing him in the back could easily cause trouble.
"Sasuke, when do you plan to make your move against Konoha?"
Orochimaru twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a slightly awkward smile, and immediately changed the subject.
Regarding the massacre of the Uchiha clan, he really couldn't say anything, because after the massacre, he had transplanted his eyes to Danzo and also kept a part of his Sharingan for research.
Even though this matter wasn't a secret, Orochimaru still felt that he was a beneficiary of the Uchiha clan's massacre.
"It's no fun to stab them to death. I'll play with them slowly until everyone knows about their evil deeds."
Sasuke lay back down on the sofa, closed his eyes to conceal his bloodshot gaze, and began to seriously consider when to go back and hang another corpse on the Hokage Rock.
There are also charges, which need to be different from those against Koharu Tsurugi. Of course, certain major events still need to be shown to the public.
Even if he didn't plan to leave many survivors in the future, that didn't stop him from having the villagers of Konoha exert more invisible checks and balances on the Konoha leadership.
"Be careful. Some clans in Konoha have powerful backers..."
Orochimaru didn't offer any advice, but simply told Sasuke to pay more attention to the affairs of certain clans.
Many of the clans in Konoha are not so simple.
Take the Uchiha clan, for example. Even though they were wiped out, the appearance of Sasuke Uchiha was enough to plunge Konoha into despair and destruction.
"Yes, it's about time that some families in Konoha got involved too."
Sasuke rolled over while holding the cat, muttered something under his breath, and then his breathing gradually became steady; he actually fell asleep.
Orochimaru, observing Sasuke's behavior, knew that Sasuke already had a plan, so he didn't disturb him for the time being.
A few more days passed, and the power of the Sound Village was rapidly returning, with information from White Zetsu being delivered to Sasuke.
The Raikage has entered the Land of Rice Fields, and the other four major ninja villages have each sent a small team to witness the Raikage's destruction of the Sound Village.
Sasuke had no recollection of the ninjas from the other villages, but the few from Konoha had made him wear a gentle smile ever since he received the news.
The Konoha reconnaissance team consists of four people: Kakashi Hatake, Shikaku Nara, Inoichi Yamanaka, and Asuma Sarutobi.
The four Jonin each represent a different power within Konoha.
Kakashi Hatake is still a member of the Anbu, while Shikaku Nara and Inoichi Yamanaka are both clan leaders.
Sarutobi Asuma was the son of the Hokage and one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja of the Land of Fire.
These people have arrived here, ostensibly on a reconnaissance mission, but in reality...
The mission to hunt down the rogue ninja Orochimaru is still marked as an S-rank mission in Konoha!
Another point is that everyone wants the recipe for a money-making project.
"You intend to keep Sarutobi Asuma here?"
As Orochimaru prepared to go into battle, a possibility suddenly occurred to him, and he stared at Sasuke, who was wearing a mask, with a strange look in his eyes.
"Of course, if they wipe out my Uchiha clan, not a single member of their Sarutobi clan will escape!"
The red bone mask concealed Sasuke's expression, but the six-pointed star in his blood-red eyes revealed his excitement.
"Don't always turn on the kaleidoscope, it's bad for your health... Never mind, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Orochimaru wanted to check on Sasuke, but in the blink of an eye he saw Sasuke switch to his spirit form, and he was completely done with the nonsense.
He shouldn't have overthought things. How could this kid's body possibly have a problem? After all, he doesn't use his body most of the time...
"Because it's bad for your health, I'm using it like this. Be careful in a bit, and don't get killed before you even activate the Eight Gates Formation. That would be very embarrassing."
Sasuke patted Orochimaru on the shoulder, ignoring Orochimaru's conflicted look, and then walked out carrying the black cat, which had also become a spirit.
Today is something to look forward to!
Chapter 283 Sarutobi Asuma, you answer.
"Raikage, are you declaring war?"
Orochimaru and the Raikage clashed, separated by a distance of more than ten meters.
Looking at the menacing Raikage and the Cloud Ninja behind him, Orochimaru's snake eyes radiated coldness.
His village was only a few hundred meters behind him. If he went any further, the battle would soon spread to the Sound Village.
However, this is just right. The Raikage can stay behind alone, while the other ninjas can go to the area around the village and play some genjutsu games in the maze.
He had gone inside the illusion array created by the Uchiha brothers before, and if they hadn't been let off easy, he probably wouldn't have been able to get out for several days.
"Orochimaru, it's one thing for a rogue ninja like you to want to establish a ninja village, but that has nothing to do with our Kumogakure. However, you shouldn't have coveted the Two-Tails. Hand over the Two-Tails, Matatabi, and we can sit down and talk..."
The Fourth Raikage, seeing Orochimaru stepping out alone to fight, was once again certain that the Sound Village truly had little fighting power.
The reason he arrived here so late was because he had already sent people to investigate. Orochimaru's subordinates were all children or some rogue ninjas who were not worthy of being mentioned.
If he didn't still want certain research projects from the Hidden Sound Village, he wouldn't be here talking to Orochimaru right now; he would have already taken action!
"The definition of 'rogue ninja' is given by Konoha, but the true situation within Konoha can't be kept secret for much longer. As for the Two-Tails you mentioned, our Otogakure doesn't have one now, and it never will..."
Orochimaru snorted and began a verbal battle with the Raikage.
While the two were verbally arguing, someone had already quietly infiltrated the Sound Village from nearby.
It has ninjas from all five great nations.
After infiltrating, they suddenly found themselves all inside a house.
"Welcome everyone! Now we're going to start a question-and-answer game. You can only leave if you answer the questions seriously and get at least three right. If you don't tell the truth, you might get hurt!"
A humanoid Asura appeared, and as his voice rang out, lights came on in the house, revealing who was present.
Sarutobi Asuma and Nara Shikaku from Konoha, a man covered in bandages from Sunagakure, a scarred-faced ninja from Kirigakure, a long-legged female ninja from Iwagakure, and Darui, a half-crippled man from Kumogakure who had been captured long ago, along with a blonde female ninja supporting him.
Five ninja villages, seven people, today's game is about to begin.
"It's you? Are you a human or a cat?"
Darui stared wide-eyed at the Asura in front of him, and suddenly had a bad feeling.
He remembered that this person had left, so why was he back in Otogakure?
Was his previous departure a deception to lure the other trackers in the village into discovering the information?
So what's going on now? Everyone's chakra is being restricted. What should we do...?
