Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Sakura, deep down, instinctively still considered Hiruko as part of the Hokage's camp.

She utterly disliked Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi, and felt nothing but disgust for them.

Although she felt that Hiruko's cooperation with Orochimaru was inappropriate, she was powerless to change Hiruko's mind.

Even though Hiruko had done some terrible things to her before, she had no choice but to obey Hiruko's arrangements and act according to circumstances.

However, there is one advantage to traveling with Hiruko this time: she might be able to use this opportunity to find out information about Sasuke.

Sakura was always worried about Sasuke's situation with Orochimaru.

Hiruko smiled slightly, shook his head gently, and said, "Don't rush, let them do their thing first."

Then he picked up the iced cola and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

Every time he drank an iced cola, Hiruko felt as if he had truly returned to his hometown.

Alone in a foreign land, he felt like a stranger. Even though he now possessed extraordinary powers, he still couldn't help but think back to his hometown.

He shook his head, stopping himself from thinking about it. As long as he kept traveling through time, he would eventually be able to go back.

After all, immortality is achievable in this world, and once I achieve immortality, I will have the opportunity to return to my homeland.

Hiruko was not in a hurry. He was an extremely patient person and knew very well that as long as he was alive, anything was possible.

He looked in Orochimaru's direction and sneered, "I know Orochimaru. He's not like Jiraiya, that hot-blooded, impulsive guy."

Orochimaru's cunning and insidious tactics are far more troublesome than Jiraiya's.

Even without the intelligence relayed by the mechanical bird, I dare say that Orochimaru has definitely laid many traps.

Orochimaru lured over the Root ninjas sent by Danzo. Those guys naively thought that Orochimaru would help them, but little did they know that they had walked into a trap carefully woven by Orochimaru.

Rather than acting rashly, it is better to remain still and quietly observe the situation, taking advantage of the airship's high-altitude flight and stealth capabilities.

Then we'll find another opportunity to cooperate with Orochimaru. When Orochimaru thinks no one is coming to the appointment and is about to return to his lair, we'll intercept him halfway and give him a surprise.

If we could capture this guy directly, it wouldn't be bad to have him work for us.

"When you think you've been stood up, but I actually didn't, isn't that a pleasant surprise?" Hiruko knew Orochimaru, his old friend, very well. Orochimaru was a seasoned veteran who refused to cooperate and was full of hostility towards him.

If you just casually approach him for a talk, Orochimaru won't go along with your plan; he'll probably arrest you and study you.

So he had to tell him first that he could heal his arm and that there was a big, win-win project he wanted to work on with him.

However, Hiruko would not relinquish the initiative to others. As one of the most intelligent individuals in the ninja world, Orochimaru's arrogance was unmatched by ordinary people.

Moreover, the Impure World Reincarnation technique is an ability that Orochimaru values ​​highly, in addition to the Reanimation Jutsu and his numerous research achievements...

It's also his core technology, and you want it right away? That's asking for way too much.

Even if you are an old friend of Orochimaru from another world, you have no connection with Orochimaru in this world.

Like Hiruko, once he crossed the world, he no longer recognized the people of this world.

Even though Hiruko had a very good relationship with Tsunade and Jiraiya in the previous world, in this world, if it really came down to a fight, he would never show mercy. There are no ties between people who are not from his own world.

Hiruko wasn't completely clueless. If Tsunade knew about his plans, she would definitely stop him. However, Hiruko wouldn't kill Tsunade; it would be much more fun to capture her and play duo matches with her.

It has to be said that Hiruko and Orochimaru are really similar, almost identical.

Both of them were cold-blooded and ruthless.

However, that's not entirely true; Hiruko was still somewhat stronger than Orochimaru in certain aspects.

However, he only approves of the people in his own world, not the people of this world.

Moreover, Orochimaru, currently in the Shippuden era, still acts with exceptionally cruelty, showing no signs of redemption.

Expecting Orochimaru, who is both Buddhist and ruthless, to show mercy is simply a pipe dream.

Therefore, the only way to get Orochimaru to cooperate with him is to use overwhelming force to capture his old friend first.

Then, using a series of materials related to immortality as bait, he finally revealed his entire plan.

In this way...

Chapter 167 Sakura in Tears

Only in this way can we achieve a win-win situation where everyone benefits.

Of course, if one could truly control this cunning Orochimaru and make him work as a servant snake for them, that would be a good option.

This is the correct procedure.

Sakura was still inexperienced, and faced with such a sudden situation, she could not suppress her anxiety.

As the saying goes, haste makes waste. Once you lose control of your emotions, you will only find yourself in a state of panic, restlessness, and anxiety.

It's better to calm down and patiently wait for the other party to fall into the trap you've carefully woven.

Beiruko waited for a whole day, from the first light of dawn until the night was as dark as ink.

The situation was volatile and unpredictable throughout the day, with frequent unexpected events.

Kabuto Yakushi was first ambushed by Konoha's Anbu, and then besieged by Kakuzu and Hidan of Akatsuki. However, Hiruko remained hidden in the shadows and never revealed a trace.

Orochimaru used all his strength to barely protect Kabuto Yakushi's life.

Hiruko never showed himself, but observed from the sidelines.

As Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi were helping each other up, and were about to reach the base near Otogakure, Hiruko finally made his move.

He opened the bottom door of the airship, and countless specially made sealing magic projectiles poured down on the earth like a torrential downpour.

In an instant, the ground turned into a raging sea of ​​fire, with scorching flames churning wildly.

Orochimaru was stunned by the sudden and fierce air attack. Fortunately, he was saved by the Orochimaru-style skin-shedding technique. He kept shedding his skin and managed to survive the disaster.

It must be said that Orochimaru's tenacious vitality is truly astonishing; otherwise, this terrifying air raid alone would probably have severely damaged his vitality or even killed him on the spot.

Of course, Hiruko also took Orochimaru's current power level into account and intentionally controlled the intensity of her attack, not unleashing her trump card.

"Sakura, we can land now."

Hiruko put down the Coke bottle in his hand, tossed it casually, and the bottle drew a beautiful arc in the air before landing precisely in the trash can. Then he slowly stood up.

Sakura Haruno was shocked by what she saw: "Orochimaru is still alive after such an attack?"

Clearly, she lacked a clear understanding of Orochimaru's astonishingly tenacious vitality.

Due to the relentless bombing of various bombs and incendiary bombs in the ruins, the ground was a mess, resembling a living hell, with a sea of ​​fire raging.

The mechanical birds released by Hiruko could no longer transmit clear images in such an environment.

Unaware of the truth, Sakura believed that Orochimaru had been bombed to the point of being reduced to ashes. Hiruko then planned to use a calculation technique to extract memories from the corpse.

But who could have predicted that Orochimaru would miraculously survive in such a terrifying environment?

It should be noted that the temperature generated when white phosphorus burns is extremely high, enough to turn everything to ashes, yet Orochimaru was able to survive it.

Of course, even Kabuto-senpai is still alive and well.

As Hiruko piloted the airship to a slow descent, he earnestly lectured Sakura: "Some people's lives are as fragile as a sheet of paper, which can be broken at the slightest breeze."

Some people, however, have lives as resilient as stubborn rocks. Even if they are smashed to pieces, they can still survive tenaciously and even possess the so-called immortality.

Therefore, in a battle, never assume that the enemy is dead too easily.

You must understand, the ninja world is vast and boundless, full of wonders, and everyone's physique and vitality cannot be generalized.

"Yes, yes, yes, I understand," Sakura replied softly, but the anger in her heart grew stronger like a raging fire.

After all, while Hiruko was seriously educating her, he was also touching her inappropriately, roughly rubbing her anus a few times.

"Damn bastard!" Sakura cursed inwardly through gritted teeth.

It's such a pity that the cunning and troublesome Orochimaru wasn't killed instantly by the explosion.

Sakura Haruno is clearly one of the people who hopes Orochimaru will die.

As the two were talking, the airship slowly descended to the ground, only about fifty meters above the ground.

Just then, a loud boom was heard, and a huge serpent suddenly sprang out from the massive sea of ​​fire.

It suddenly shattered the ground, and its enormous body surged toward the sky.

Countless snakes shot out from the giant serpent's mouth, while at the same time, Orochimaru continuously spat out countless small snakes, each holding an incomparably sharp Kusanagi sword in its mouth.

Hmph, Orochimaru's methods are still as disgusting as ever.

Hiruko frowned slightly, somewhat annoyed. Although he didn't have trypophobia, he still felt nauseous at the sight of the densely packed snakes.

"Hiruko-senpai!" Sakura's face turned pale instantly upon seeing the enormous sight on the ground.

The dependence she had developed over the past few days made her unable to resist turning her head to look at Hiruko, as if Hiruko could bring her a sense of security.

Right now, they are surrounded by countless snakes, and if they are not careful, they will be stung like a beehive.

Hiruko quickly switched the airship to autopilot mode, then grabbed Sakura, opened the top door, and jumped out.

A fierce wind howled and rushed towards them. Sakura was so frightened that her face turned pale when she saw that she was about to be swallowed by the snake along with Hiruko. She involuntarily clung tightly to Hiruko's body.

Hiruko, however, remained calm. He raised his right hand downwards, and his chakra began to rapidly gather.

In an instant, the natural energy and chakra of the Sage Art in the air gathered together and condensed into a green, transparent ball.

Immediately afterward, under Hiruko's control, the transparent ball swelled to an unbelievable size in an instant.

Hiruko released his chakra again, automatically absorbing the natural energy between heaven and earth. In an instant, the energy ball expanded to a diameter of about three hundred meters.

"Sage Technique, Wind Rasengan!" Hiruko shouted, personally sending out the ever-expanding green wind-attribute sphere of light.

Immediately afterwards, this enormous ball of light, resembling a rapidly falling meteorite, crashed into the array of ten thousand snakes.

"boom!"

A deafening roar erupted, and a massive plume of smoke rose from the ground. A terrifying hurricane blew Hiruko and Sakura Haruno ten thousand meters into the air, and even the airship began to soar upwards.

However, the steel hull of the airship remained unaffected by the aftershocks, because Hiruko had already inscribed protective runes on the airship, causing it to fly in the opposite direction of the force.

Of course, Hiruko and Sakura had already been covered with a layer of chakra armor, and Hiruko had also used the Kurama clan's genjutsu bloodline limit.

A layer of armor, similar to Susanoo, condensed on the two of them, which is why they were not directly shattered.

"what!"
