Konoha: On the night of the massacre, I summoned Inuyasha.

"But I didn't expect that you would give me such a big surprise before I even entered Konoha."

"I never expected that the teacher's hypocrisy would actually spare your life."

"Does a prostitute have to pretend to be virtuous?"

Ignoring Yue's silence, the man continued speaking with a smile on his face. If it weren't for his long tongue just now, every move he made would have been very charming in Yue's eyes.

Orochimaru!

I've heard of you; you were one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha.

What is your purpose in coming to Konoha?

Yue suddenly spoke, slowly drawing the sharp blade from her waist.

Suddenly, a flash of golden lightning appeared, and the air seemed to instantly fill with a scorching smell. "Also, don't mention that man, I will..."

Kill him!

The space seemed to fall into a dull atmosphere for a moment, and even the sky appeared somewhat gloomy.

murderous look!

Having committed countless killings, Yue naturally mastered some of the power of killing intent, even capable of rendering an ordinary person powerless with it.

Regardless of what she truly thought, Yue was still pretending to be an ordinary Uchiha orphan.

Orochimaru did not comment on the Third Hokage's assessment.

"A fine sword."

Even the man named Orochimaru couldn't help but be momentarily drawn to the Thunder Sword in Yue's hand.

"Well, I think I already mentioned it. One of my goals in coming here is for Itachi's younger brother."

However, it seems I've already reached a better goal.

Orochimaru looked at Yue with a smile, but his eyes were full of malice.

"Ridiculous. How could a mere Uchiha orphan possibly attract such an important figure as you to Konoha?"

You see, Lord Danzo is currently relentlessly pursuing you.

Yue chuckled, though he was unaware of the specific actions taken by the Konoha leadership.

But unsurprisingly, the entire Root organization is probably searching the world for Orochimaru to avenge their Lord Danzo.

However, Yue's heart sank as she realized that she seemed to have replaced Sasuke as Orochimaru's target.

It's worth noting that after being easily defeated by Itachi Uchiha's Sharingan, Orochimaru became extremely obsessed with those eyes.

And his own three-tomoe Sharingan, and even his own body, were definitely things that this man was determined to obtain.

"Um?

You knew that too?

Orochimaru gave Yue a slightly more serious look for the first time. "Indeed, Danzo has gone mad lately."

The culprit behind the destruction of the Shimura clan has been identified as me.

"My main reason for coming here this time is indeed to personally infiltrate Konoha and investigate what exactly happened a year ago."

The handsome man's lips curled into a slightly displeased smile.

In fact, during that year, the seemingly omnipresent Roots destroyed several of his bases and even greatly affected Orochimaru's research progress.

Left with no other choice, Orochimaru decided to personally infiltrate Konoha to gather information.

"You even told me this news. It seems you've got me figured out."

Yue's heart sank even further. Since Orochimaru was willing to tell her about his plan to infiltrate Konoha, he must have wanted to kill or capture her to prevent the information from being leaked.

"No, no, Yuejun, you seem to have misunderstood something."

Orochimaru waved his hand, a slightly eerie smile appearing on his face.

"Itachi!"

I apologize for bringing up that name again.

As Orochimaru uttered that name, he sensed an even stronger killing intent washing over him.

"What an amazing kid. I was far inferior to him at that age."

Orochimaru secretly admired him, "I wonder how many wild beasts this brat has killed, or just how much he hates Itachi to turn that hatred into such terrifying killing intent."

"I just want to make a deal with you, Moon Lord."

Orochimaru laughed.

"trade?"

A hint of doubt appeared on Yue's indifferent face, but at the same time, she felt somewhat relieved.

Although Yue was confident that he had the power to contend with Orochimaru for a time, he would rather not fight this monster if possible.

Not to mention, even if you kill Orochimaru, who is immortal, you probably won't get a full set of dungeon points.

If you can't beat them, they'll be captured and forced to use their bodies.

"That's right, a deal."

Orochimaru nodded, looking at Yue's body with considerable appreciation.

"It's amazing that someone as young as Yuejun can awaken those three-tomoe Sharingan."

But, itachi Uchiha!

This man, at the age of twelve or thirteen, had already awakened the most ultimate eye in your clan...

Mangekyou Sharingan!

Even Orochimaru's tone became serious at this point.

"I wonder if Yuejun knows anything about these eyes."

But what I want to say is that these are eyes that surpass, even far surpass, the three-tomoe Sharingan.

"Even the Hokage must be on high alert under those eyes."

Orochimaru's tone was filled with admiration, as well as a deep-seated greed.

"Therefore, Moon Lord."

"If you continue to stay in Konoha, studying in that useless ninja academy, you'll probably never surpass Itachi in your entire life."

"After all, you are improving, but Itachi is improving even faster."

Orochimaru looked at the moon and chuckled softly.

What exactly are you trying to say?

Yue frowned, her mind beginning to form some guesses about Orochimaru's plans.

"Come with me, and I will impart to you the knowledge of the Three Legendary Sannin of Konoha."

"You must understand, even Itachi Uchiha is just a junior in my eyes."

"Under my guidance, you will achieve a rate of progress surpassing Uchiha Itachi, and eventually, one day in the future, you will awaken eyes just like Itachi's."

Even in terms of martial prowess, he surpasses him!

Orochimaru's voice was seductive, and Lingyue seemed somewhat tempted.

Yue was indeed somewhat tempted.

Although he enjoyed the peaceful life in Konoha, he believed that having a teacher of Orochimaru's caliber would indeed allow him to grow much faster.

Moreover, leaving Konoha means greater freedom and more ways to obtain dungeon points.

However, this feeling of attraction only lasted for a very short time.

"Orochimaru's ultimate goal is to get my body and eyes."

If this guy decides to change bodies anytime soon, I'm afraid I'll die a horrible death.

Moreover, compared to the outside world, Konoha is indeed the safest place in the entire ninja world.

Besides, the Third Hokage is such a kind person; there's hardly anyone outside who can help me fight the boss.

"Besides, Naruto and Sasuke, who have the greatest potential in the entire ninja world, are both in Konoha."

It's also important to defeat them and unleash the power of Indra and Asura.

Moreover, my demonic transformation requires the power of Asura for control.

While pondering, Yue prepared to decline Orochimaru's invitation.

P.S.: Guys, is it true that the Sarutobi clan really has 3,000 ninjas, or is it just a rumor? I need to plan my boss strategy.

Chapter 61 VS Orochimaru

Leaving with Orochimaru would be too risky, with the disadvantages far outweighing the advantages.

If I, a mere three-star level one, were to enter Orochimaru's territory, I would probably be easily killed.

This guy is a four-star, level seven being, and he's also quite intelligent.

As for wanting to kill or even replace Orochimaru like Sasuke in Shippuden?

That's possible, but Yue wouldn't choose it; he wasn't willing to put his fate in Orochimaru's hands.

"Sorry, I refuse."

Konoha is the village that raised me; I will not choose to defect.

Yue spoke slowly, her body retreating in an orderly fashion, while her vigilance was at its highest.

Yue Xin was very confident that Orochimaru would not let her leave easily.

The next moment, Yue suddenly shuddered, her face turning pale.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, curled his lips into a slightly sinister smile.

"Damn it, they're immune to my illusions!"
