Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

Orochimaru picked up the scroll on the ground, opened it and began to read it. After she finished reading it, it seemed that some spell was triggered, and the scroll automatically burned and turned into ashes.

As expected of an old bastard who trains Anbu...

Orochimaru looked at the ashes dissipating in the wind and complained in his heart.

On the other side, Danzo Shimura confirmed that Orochimaru had read the scroll and was very satisfied. If Sarutobi Hiruzen had not asked him to change his training methods and disrupted his plans, he would definitely appear in front of Orochimaru every now and then.

By appearing as a kind and friendly Hokage assistant, he won Orochimaru's favor and thus influenced him subtly.

Danzo...

Sarutobi Hiruzen almost broke his pipe while looking at the scene in the crystal ball. He never expected that Danzo Shimura, whom he had beaten up, would still have the mind to look for Orochimaru. It was obvious that he still had evil intentions!

Looks like I need to find you more things to do, Danzo!

PS:

Originally, the Sharingan in Danzo's right eye should have belonged to Uchiha Kagami. The conspiracy theory is that he killed Uchiha Kagami for the Sharingan.

If we don't believe in conspiracy theories, then when he and Uchiha Kagami were on a mission, Uchiha Kagami died, and he transformed into Thief Gewara and stole Uchiha Kagami's Sharingan.

I don't think Kishimoto himself knows which of the two it is.

The cause of Uchiha Kagami's death remains a mystery. Neither the comics, anime, nor the setting collection explains how this Uchiha, who died at the age of 25, died.

As for his descendant, is Uchiha Shisui his grandson or son? If he is a son, even if he is a posthumous child... he is too ageless.

In the comics, the third generation said that Uchiha Shisui was the descendant of Uchiha Kagami, and descendants can be said to be sons and grandsons, or descendants...

In episode 578 of the anime, there is a scene where Sarutobi Hiruzen mentions Uchiha Kagami, and Uchiha Shisui says that he is not as good as his father... I don't know if it is a translation problem or a prank by the animation team.

After I finished writing "The Author Has Something to Say," I just wanted to say to Kishimoto: "Kishimoto, I'll fuck you!"

Volume 17: Chapter : Hyuga Branch, Caged Bird Curse

The Iron Country is a country that borders the Fire Country, the Taki Country, and the Field Country, and is relatively close to the Earth Country and the Thunder Country.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wants Orochimaru, Tsunade and Hyuga Mio of the Hyuga clan to form a three-person team to escort confidential documents to the Land of Iron.

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, I'm late."

Hinata Mio walked into the Hokage's office. She had the Hyuga clan's iconic white eyes and black hair, and her beautiful face revealed a hint of indifference.

Someone from the Hyuga branch family?

Orochimaru glanced at the forehead protector on Hinata Mio's forehead and guessed that this girl from the Hyuga clan was from a branch family.

"Orochimaru, this time you will be the captain of the team and escort confidential documents to Crane Castle in the Land of Iron."

Sarutobi Hiruzen handed Orochimaru the documents related to the mission, as well as the confidential documents that needed to be escorted.

"I see."

Orochimaru nodded. This mission was a C-level mission. It seemed that the documents they were escorting were not very important documents, otherwise, the mission level would not be a C-level mission.

"Another C-rank mission..."

Tsunade said with a lack of interest, she had been doing a lot of D-rank and C-rank missions lately.

"Tsunade, don't underestimate this C-rank mission!"

The vein on Sarutobi Hiruzen's forehead bulged.

"Hey, hey, hey, I get it, I get it. Nothing will be a problem with Orochimaru here."

Tsunade waved her hand casually, and her attitude of looking down on C-rank missions made Sarutobi Hiruzen so angry that the expression on his face was a little distorted.

As expected of a disciple of the Hokage...

Hinata Mio looked at Tsunade and Orochimaru with a hint of envy in her eyes. As a member of the Hyuga family's branch family, her fate had been decided from the moment she was cursed with the caged bird seal at the age of three. She was the guardian of the main family and could be sacrificed at will to protect the people of the main family.

Orochimaru flipped through the documents and did not miss the glint of envy that flashed across Hinata Mio's eyes.

She envied Tsunade... who would want to be a bird trapped in a cage? Even Hyuga Neji couldn't escape the cage until his death, and he died so casually, completely forgetting that he could return to heaven.

Orochimaru closed the document in his hand and said to Tsunade and Hinata Mio: "Tsunade, Hinata Mio, go get ready, we will leave soon."

"Captain Orochimaru, you are so majestic!"

Tsunade made a face, patted Orochimaru's shoulder, and walked out quickly.

Hinata Mio also walked out to pack her luggage and the things and ninja tools that she might need along the way.

Orochimaru thought about how he hadn't seen Shimura Danzo for a week. After Tsunade and Hinata Mio left, he asked curiously, "Sarutobi-sensei, I haven't seen Danzo-sama these days. Is he out on a mission?"

"As the Hokage's assistant, Danzo is very busy, Orochimaru."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile on his face, thinking that he was right to prevent Shimura Danzo from having time to contact Orochimaru, and he should find more things for him to do. His heart was twisted after staying in the darkness for too long.

There is also the Shimura clan, and there are many things waiting for the clan leader Danzo Shimura to deal with.

(Shimura Danzo: Ah Minos!)

Orochimaru looked at the smile on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face and felt that someone was about to be in trouble.

Orochimaru returned home, packed up simply, put on his backpack, and met Tsunade and Hinata Mio at the village entrance. Then he left Konoha and headed for the Land of Iron.

In the dense woods, three figures quickly passed through the trees.

Tsunade looked at Orochimaru in front of her, and said with a hint of anticipation in her bright eyes: "It is said that the Land of Iron is a country of samurai, but I have never seen a samurai!"

"I heard that the warriors of the Iron Country would concentrate their chakra on their swords to attack the enemy."

Orochimaru looked around and said to Hinata Mio, "Mio, scout the surroundings."

"Yes, Captain Orochimaru."

Hinata Mio nodded, opened her Byakugan, and the veins around her eyes bulged. She instantly saw everything within a range of about one kilometer, and also saw the people hiding behind the trees in front of them and ambushing them.

"There are five people at the ten and three o'clock positions ahead. Judging from their attire, they don't look like ninjas."

Hinata Mio quickly told what she saw.

"Is the target what we are escorting?"

Tsunade was ready to face the enemy.

"Tsk! What?! Is there no one left in Konoha? They actually sent three kids on a mission."

Behind the tree, a man holding a scythe looked at the three people coming towards him, licked the blade of the scythe with his tongue, and swung the chain hammer at the other end of the scythe.

"It seems that Konoha is just like this."

"Leave them here! Maybe we can get some information about Konoha from them."

"Konoha's information can be sold for a lot of money on the black market!"

"coming!"

The five people lying in ambush around saw the three people coming and threw smoke bombs. The dark purple smoke instantly enveloped the three people. The three threw chain hammers, and the other two drew their samurai swords.

Dazzling lightning flashed in the smoke, and the lightning instantly passed through the chains to the three people. The three people trembled violently and fell from the branches with smoke coming out of their bodies.

Tsunade and Hinata Mio rushed out of the smoke and rushed towards the two men holding samurai swords.

Tsunade raised her right leg high and slammed it down.

"Soft Fist!"

Hinata Mio yelled and slapped the man in the chest, "You dare to attack us after seeing the Hyuga clan? You really did something stupid..."

boom--!

Before Hinata Mio could finish her words, she heard a loud noise from the side and the branches under her feet were shaking violently.

No, the whole tree was shaking. Hinata Mio looked down and saw a person buried deep in the ground with only his feet exposed. His shoulder was shattered, his upper body bones were broken and shattered in many places, and his internal organs were severely damaged. When she looked over, the person was already dead.

No, he is worthy of being the disciple of the Hokage.

Hinata Mio swallowed and was very glad that she did not provoke Tsunade and Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's Lightning Release and Tsunade's shocking strength were beyond her imagination.

"It's not hurt."

The wind blew away the smoke from the smoke bomb. Orochimaru threw away the chain in his hand, looked at Tsunade and Hinata Mio who were fine, and said, "Let's continue on our way."

At night, the forest was quiet and the firelight in the darkness was very obvious.

Orochimaru's team rested in front of the campfire. At their speed, they would probably reach the Iron Kingdom by noon tomorrow.

"Captain Orochimaru, why are you always staring at me?"

Hinata Mio felt Orochimaru's gaze again and couldn't help but ask.

"I've heard that the Hyuga clan is divided into the main family and the branch family, and the branch family will have a caged bird curse seal engraved on their foreheads."

Orochimaru stared at Hinata Mio's forehead and was very interested in the caged bird curse seal.

"Captain Orochimaru, please do not mention the caged bird in front of the Hyuga branch. This is my advice to you."

Hinata Mio took a deep breath and suppressed the anger that was rising in her heart. The veins around her eyes bulged out little by little. The caged bird curse was the pain of all the branch family members and the root of their hatred for the main family. Orochimaru's behavior was poking at the wound in her heart that would never heal.

I always feel like I've heard of the main and branch families of the Hyuga clan somewhere.

Tsunade was sure she had heard something about the Hyuga clan, but she couldn't remember it, perhaps because she was too young at the time.

"Really? It's rare for us to be teammates. I really want to know why the Hyuga clan is divided into the main family and the branch family."

Orochimaru didn't care about Hinata Mio's attitude. She was very interested in the reason why the Hyuga clan was divided into the main family and the branch family. Even if she knew the reason, she wanted to hear it from Hinata Mio herself.

Perhaps, we can use Hinata Mio's hatred for the main family to win her over!

Orochimaru is very interested in the caged bird seal of the Hyuga clan. If it can be cracked, having a member of the Hyuga clan assist her in conducting certain experiments will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"It's to protect the bloodline limit from being taken away. The Hyuga clan's main family is the true heir of the Hyuga clan. The branch families are the guardians of the Hyuga clan and are the main family's slaves..."

Hinata Mio clenched her fists and spoke through gritted teeth. She was so excited that she opened her eyes unconsciously.

"If it's to protect their bloodline limit, why don't the main family members carve the caged bird seal? That way, they don't have to worry about their bloodline limit being taken away, right? Even if they have the protection of the branch family, are the main family members absolutely safe?"

The division of the Hyuga clan into the main family and the branch family was pure bullshit in Orochimaru's eyes. Unless the main family members stayed at Konoha forever, there was still a possibility that their Byakugan would be taken away. Moreover, those who wanted to take away the Byakugan would target the main family and would never even look at the branch family members.

For a powerful ninja, it doesn't seem difficult to seize the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, but it is not necessary.

Hinata Mio looked at Orochimaru with shock on her face. She was deeply shocked by her outrageous words, and these words also touched her heart.

PS:

At the time of this article, there will definitely be some original characters appearing.

Volume 18: Chapter Danzo, don't forget you are the Hokage's assistant

"Orochimaru, it's not nice to discuss other people's families like this. Whatever their families do is none of your business."

Tsunade tugged at Orochimaru's sleeve and whispered in her ear. In her opinion, Orochimaru's words were really too much. This was equivalent to denying the system of the Hyuga clan's main family and branch families.

"There's no one else here. I believe Mio won't tell anyone."

Orochimaru smiled slightly, not worrying that his words would get out.

So what if it gets out? What's wrong with a child expressing his or her opinion? There are still many children in Konoha who think that the Hyuga clan's Byakugan are freaks!

Could it be possible that the Hyuga clan could visit everyone one by one?

My teacher is the Third Hokage, Assistant Hokage Danzo Shimura is very fond of me, and Uzumaki Mito wants me to recognize her as my godmother. Come and do it to me if you can!

The ninja world is not all about fighting and killing, it's also about relationships and connections!

Orochimaru believed that even if the Hyuga clan had some courage, they would not dare to cause trouble for her. It was true that she was obsessed with training, but she still had to maintain good interpersonal relationships.

There is a saying that goes, "More connections, more paths."

No, why did you squeeze in again?

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade who was resting on her shoulder beside him, and didn't quite understand why she liked to rest on her so much.

Two days later...

The country of iron, Crane City.

After completing the mission, Orochimaru's team came to the hot spring hotel to soak in the hot springs.

Orochimaru's cold white skin turned a faint red as he soaked in the warm hot spring water.
