The two had just entered the fortress within a hundred meters when several masked ninjas suddenly appeared.

"Wait a moment, both of you!"

The leader stopped in front of the two men and motioned them to wait, then used perception ninjutsu to identify their identities.

"Has the person the master asked you to invite arrived?" After confirming his identity, the man said this.

"Of course." Wen Ya pointed to the cloth bag carried by the Otsutsuki puppet behind him.

The leader nodded and signaled his men to let them in: "Go in, the masters have been waiting inside for a long time."

This is just the first level, and there are a total of nine such levels in the fortress.

The two passed through layer after layer of checkpoints, went through a series of very tedious procedures and identity checks, and finally arrived in front of a room.

The room looked small from the outside, but the space inside was very spacious, comparable to a large football field. The walls were covered with complicated sealing spells, which seemed to be used to prevent eavesdropping.

The room was filled with elite warriors wearing armor and carrying long swords on their waists. At the same time, there were several elite jonin-level ninjas stationed in the four corners of the southeast, northwest, and northeast.

In the center of the room there is a strange building that looks like a temple.

The barrier near the temple is covered with layer upon layer, extending like infinite nesting dolls. The center is covered with a thick layer of four purple flame formation. Without the permission of the people inside, it is basically impossible for outsiders to force their way in.

"Asuma, Bunya, congratulations on completing your S-rank mission - inviting Orochimaru."

As soon as the two stepped into the building, the lights around them suddenly lit up, and then a row of seats rose in front of them. Everyone sitting on them exuded extremely strong chakra fluctuations, and then an old and powerful voice was heard from one of them.

The ninja who had been hiding in the shadows along with Wen Ya now revealed his true face under the light.

It was the son of the Third Hokage, Asuma Sarutobi.

During the Konoha Collapse Plan, he stayed away from the city in order to pursue the Sound Ninja. He was not in the attack range of the 'Air Style: Revenge Ultimate Magic Flash Death Destruction Cannon Zero', so he survived and did not dissipate with the original Konoha. He was a former Konoha elite jonin.

As for why he was a former Konoha Jonin, it was because after the Konoha collapse plan, when he learned that his family was destroyed and Danzo was promoted to the fifth Hokage, he immediately defected from Konoha. Now he is listed as an S-level rebel ninja of Konoha by Danzo.

"Please ask Mr. Orochimaru to come out and meet us." The old voice sounded again: "Don't be too rude and don't neglect our distinguished guests."

It was clearly these people's idea to poison the person, and now they are saying don't be rude. They are really being hypocritical.

Wen Ya thought so in his heart but did not dare to show it. He nodded and signaled the Otsutsuki puppet to untie the cloth bag containing Orochimaru. However, when the cloth bag was opened, everyone was dumbfounded.

There is no Orochimaru in here. There is clearly just a pool of mud in the shape of Orochimaru.

'when? ’

Wen Ya and Asuma had the same thought at the same time.

"Is this the person you invited?"

A middle-aged male voice full of majesty sounded. Because they were facing the light, neither of them could see each other's face clearly. But even without seeing the face, they could hear the anger in his tone. He just scolded mercilessly:

"What are the elite of the Iwagakure? The Twelve Guardian Ninjas? They can't even handle such a small matter. I think they are just a bunch of idiots with empty titles."

"This matter should be handed over to my subordinates."

A trace of anger flashed across Wen Ya and Asuma's faces, but they still kept their heads down and did not lose their temper.

The person who spoke was someone they could not afford to offend.

He is the powerful figure in the Thunder Country and the great general of the Thunder Country.

"Puchi. Hahaha, you really think it's so easy to catch Orochimaru? Just you two jonin? Are you qualified?" At this time, a voice sitting in the corner sounded, with a tone full of mockery.

"It's impossible even with that person's puppet."

"The puppets are indeed very powerful, but the person in charge of commanding them is such a loser."

"If Orochimaru didn't want to be poisoned, your poison wouldn't be able to poison him at all. What kind of bullshit is the Yin-Yang escape technique combined with poison? Orochimaru's most in-depth research is the Yin-Yang escape technique."

"You fell into his trap from the very beginning."

The owner of the voice seemed to be very familiar with Orochimaru, his tone was full of admiration, and he knew all his research on him.

Asuma and Wenya stood there with their faces flushed.

"Okay, even if you represent the one from the shipping company, let's stop here with the scolding." The person sitting opposite him interrupted.

Having said this, he paused for a moment, and then said to an empty space with no one around: "No need to hide anymore, Orochimaru."

"I have sensed your chakra."

"Although you have a deep understanding of earth escape ninjutsu, I am the real earth escape ninjutsu expert."

"Hehehe"

Accompanied by Orochimaru's unique laughter, a figure gradually emerged from the ground.

If it’s not the real Orochimaru, then who is it?

"As expected of you, you are the Tsuchikage. You saw through my earth escape jutsu at a glance."

The person who finally called himself "old man" was actually the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki.

Ohnoki looked at Orochimaru and spoke slowly: "I don't know whether to praise you or what. You are really brave. You knew we were looking for you, but you still followed us all the way here alone."

Orochimaru did not respond to his words. Instead, he looked around and said, "Iwagakure, Mist, Cloud, Sand, and even former Konoha ninjas are all here."

"Hehehe, are you planning to form a ninja alliance?"

"let me guess."

"The only one missing is Konoha. Is it because your target is Konoha?"

"Konoha? Konoha controlled by old Danzo is not worth such a big fuss for us." said the one-eyed middle-aged man sitting on the far left, his tone full of disdain for Konoha.

Orochimaru could not deny it, but said calmly: "Really? I heard that you Mist Ninjas were severely beaten by three ninjas from Konoha during the previous Five Kage Summit."

I, Orochimaru, can say that Konoha, but others can say bad things about it? Excuse me, are you qualified?

"Are you that Orochimaru?"

At this time, the young man sitting in the center spoke slowly. Although his face was gentle, the domineering aura in his eyes could not be concealed. As he spoke, the people around him quickly fell silent, including the general of the Land of Lightning and the Tsuchikage Ohnoki.

"He is indeed a very outstanding young man."

Obviously this young man looks younger, but he said that Orochimaru is a young man.

"It's okay to tell you."

"Isn't there a person who claims to be a god in his mortal form?"

"He's an eyesore."

Chapter 214 Companies are everywhere, maybe right next to you and me

Orochimaru's pupils shrank sharply upon hearing this, and he licked his lips unconsciously, and asked with a little excitement: "Is your target Akatsuki?"

"Hmph, a mere commoner dares to call himself so great. He doesn't take our five great countries seriously at all, and doesn't take his reputation seriously. He deserves to die." The general of the Thunder Nation snorted coldly and said angrily.

A mere ninja actually wants to suppress the entire ninja continent with his own strength?

What does it mean to be a daimyo, what does it mean to be a noble of various countries?

This is truly an act of insubordination and great disrespect.

His words were interrupted, and the young man just glanced at him lightly without saying a word. However, the general who had been so majestic and domineering just now now wilted as quickly as an eggplant hit by frost.

"Then you came to me hoping to get information about Akatsuki from me?" Orochimaru spoke again, this time his eyes fixed on the young man. He always felt that he had seen the other person's face somewhere, but he just couldn't remember where.

The young man shook his head: "No need for that kind of thing, they are just a few S-rank rebel ninja kids."

"If they want to play, just play with them."

It seems that in the eyes of the young people, all the members of Akatsuki are just a group of kids who have just graduated, oh no, it should be said that they have not graduated yet.

"If you don't need the information, why did you go to so much trouble to 'invite' me here?" Orochimaru was a little confused. If it wasn't for the information about Akatsuki that he had, it certainly couldn't be for him, right?

Hearing this, the young man smiled evilly, and there seemed to be some kind of charm in his smile. Even Orochimaru couldn't help but feel some inexplicable goodwill towards him.

"What we need is your talent."

"I've heard of you, Orochimaru. The most talented and intelligent ninja in the world."

"But unfortunately, you don't have any bloodline limit, and you can't even learn senjutsu."

"But even so, you have walked out your own path. There is no spell that you cannot learn, only the spells that you have not seen."

"Is that right?"

"Heh." There was an inexplicable gleam in Orochimaru's eyes, and there was a rare hint of respect in his tone. You know, this was the treatment that only his teacher, the Third Hokage, had ever enjoyed.

"My Lord, you seem to know me very well."

The young man did not answer him, but continued.

"Don't you want to do human experiments?"

"Don't you want to explore the mysteries of the human body? Don't you want to analyze the principles of chakra? Don't you want to reach the root of this world?"

"As long as you cooperate with us, you will have an inexhaustible supply of 'consumables' to use."

"You no longer have to hide and do sneaky things in the dark. You can walk openly in the sun."

"Here we have the most advanced talents from all over the world, with the assistance of the best ninjas. You can do whatever you want."

"How about it? Join us."

When the other party mentioned human experiments, Orochimaru's pupils contracted again. You know, the words "human experiments" are taboos in the ninja world, and ordinary people would be very reluctant to even mention them.

Not to mention assisting in human experiments or anything like that, but not only did the young man say it, but the top leaders of the surrounding countries also remained silent.

After the young man finished speaking, he stopped talking and just waited quietly for Orochimaru's answer.

Orochimaru was also silent. To be honest, he was tempted after hearing the conditions offered by the young man.

At this time, a white-haired ninja with a scar on his face said, "Orochimaru, there are more than just ninjas from the four major ninja villages here. If necessary, we can mobilize the armies of major countries at any time."

Perhaps he felt that this was not convincing enough, so he added: "Even the Iron Nation has joined us."

"The neutral country, the Iron Country?" Orochimaru murmured. It seems that the most powerful countries in the entire Ninja Continent are all here.

Going against them is tantamount to going against the entire Ninja Continent.

It seemed that he had thought it through, and Orochimaru said, "I will join you."

"Welcome."

"You won't be disappointed."

"Orochimaru, long time no see." A familiar voice sounded behind Orochimaru. Even without turning back, Orochimaru knew the other party's identity.

"I didn't expect you to be here too, Beiliuhu."

The voice that had been praising Orochimaru before was none other than Hiruko, whom he hadn't seen for more than a year.

"You should have already reached your full form, but you are still working for these so-called nobles?"

Orochimaru didn't quite understand the purpose of Hiruko's appearance here. Based on his understanding of Hiruko, the other party should be pursuing a free and easy life.

"No matter what you want to do, no one can stop you."

"Haha. Ever since you left that day, I met people from the company again. I thought I was strong enough and perfect enough, but it was only then that I realized how insignificant I was."

"Once people are confined to their own small circle of life, they will only see what is in front of them and forget the saying 'there are always people better than you and there are always things better than you'."

Hiruhu did not give Orochimaru a direct answer, but said these words.

"Oh? Company? Is it that famous shipping company? I once met President Hattori." Orochimaru said with interest: "He can impress you, it seems that this person is very powerful."

"It's not a question of being strong or not! It's a very rare, very special existence." Obiru tried to describe the person he met to Orochimaru, but after organizing his words for a long time, he gave up.

"No matter how much I say, it's better for you to go and see him in person."

Orochimaru replied casually, "If I have the chance, I would like to meet him too."

"Yes, it will happen. As long as you want to see him, you will be able to see him." Under Orochimaru's puzzled gaze, Biruhu continued: "The company's people are everywhere."

“Maybe it’s right next to you and me.”
