The Invisible Assassin of Konoha

Chapter 79 Returning to the Village
Returning to the village is definitely going back to the village, but Rikimaru did not leave immediately. He decided to cultivate for a period of time to stabilize his injury, and then set off to return to the village. Anyway, Orochimaru said to let him return to the village, but he did not say When.

This cultivation took only one month.

In a month, although Riki's left arm has not recovered, the injury has stabilized. The next thing is to wait for the bone to recover, but it may take a long time to return to the previous state.

Since Orochimaru talked with him that time, Rikimaru has not seen him again, and he has no communication with other people here, but Hinata Nichizai and others who came with him before often come to him.

What surprised him the most was that the cold-faced Ninja Mizuno Kenta also came to visit him, and even visited him the most. This is a person with a cold face and a warm heart.

Speaking of which, since he investigated Yun Nin's situation a month ago, the other party has not moved for a whole month. The investigative guards he inserted there did not find that Yun Nin went back, and they seemed to have disappeared.

They had been wrestling with Konoha for half a year. Although it was just a small friction, it still felt very strange that there was no movement all of a sudden.

He heard from Hinata Hinata and the others that Orochimaru had sent people several times to find out about Kumo Shinobi, but they hadn't gained anything.

In this regard, Rikimaru guessed that Yunin was probably concerned about his own ability. He killed three opponents in a row, including two sentient ninjas. This is definitely not a small loss for their group.

Rikimaru didn't know whether they were hiding temporarily or had other plans. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with him. Firstly, he was injured, and secondly, Orochimaru asked him to return to Konoha, so he couldn't participate in the battle.

On this day, Orochimaru sent someone to let Riki go, Riki thought that Orochimaru was urging him to go back, so he didn't dare to delay.

"Master Orochimaru."

Every time he sees Orochimaru, he always feels uncomfortable, because Orochimaru's eyes are too sharp.

In fact, in terms of appearance, Orochimaru is definitely first-class. With that feminine and handsome appearance, Rikimaru has never seen a few ninjas who can be compared with him; in terms of strength, let alone Konoha Sannin. Not bragging.

And through his observation, Orochimaru's prestige in Konoha Village is very high, and it is more popular than Jirai. Even Princess Tsunade, the granddaughter of the first Hokage, may not be as popular as him.

Many Konoha ninjas admire Orochimaru very much. It is not an exaggeration to say that if Konoha chooses Naruto as a candidate in this period, Orochimaru will definitely be ranked first.

It can be seen from this that Orochimaru has a high status in Konoha.

Orochimaru is a very charming man, if Rikimaru didn't know who he is, maybe he would be attracted by his charm, but now, this is absolutely impossible.

He knew that Orochimaru would definitely stay in Konoha Village for a short time, and if it had something to do with him, it would be a trouble in the future.

Furthermore, Orochimaru is a person who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals, and is extremely smart, ruthless, and staying by his side is even more disturbing than staying by the ancient emperor's side.

The most important thing is that Rikimaru feels that he is now a member of the Jiraiya family, and Namikaze Minato is also his best friend, so he must be on his side.

Orochimaru still had a smile on his face, every time he saw Rikimaru, he would always look this kindly.

"A month has passed, your injury should have stabilized, right?"

Rikimaru said quickly: "Yes, Master Orochimaru, I'm going to set off to return to the village in a few days."

"Don't worry, wait another two days."

Orochimaru waved his hand: "Because of the previous incident, the village lost a lot of manpower, and some people were seriously injured, so I plan to let those injured return to the village with the ashes of their sacrificed companions in two days, you Just go with them."

Although there has been no battle in the past month or so, there have been many battles before that. Konoha also lost a lot of people and injured a lot of people.

It's just that he didn't take any action because he was afraid of Yunin before, but now that Yunin hasn't moved for a long time, Orochimaru is going to let the wounded go back.

As for the ashes, they are the ashes of sacrificed ninjas. As ninjas, sacrifices are common, but if conditions permit, everyone will still gather the remains of these sacrificed companions. If it is not possible, they will be burned and turned into The ashes were buried in the village mausoleum to show respect.

"no problem."

Originally, Riki thought that if he went back alone, he would be bored, but now it happened that someone was going back with him, so he didn't have to worry about being alone on the road.

"Go and pack it up, and we'll be leaving in two days." Orochimaru said.

After Rikimaru took the order, he exited Orochimaru's room.

Two days later!
In the small town, a group of people had already packed up. Actually, there were not many people. There were only 12 people. Seven of them were seriously injured. In addition to Rikimaru, the remaining four were the escort team, escorting them to the stronghold of the village. Will come back when the handover is complete.

Because they were all wounded, everyone kept a low profile and left the town at dawn.

"Fujiwara-kun, we've all heard about you. It's amazing. You can still escape from being surrounded by cloud ninja."

Along the way, Rikimaru stayed with the wounded. Because he was the youngest, everyone took care of him. As for his injury, Orochimaru also revealed a little bit, so all the ninjas in the town knew about Rikimaru's record.

Riki smiled wryly: "Don't say it, what kind of skill is it? It's embarrassing and threw it at grandma's house. I didn't get any effective information, and I was almost slaughtered by others."

A man in his 30s beside him smiled and said, "Isn't that a skill? I heard that you were surrounded by many cloud ninjas, including the son of the third generation of Raikage. Letting you leave safely is not a skill? At least for us people, it is definitely impossible."

"That's right, that's right." "Rikimaru, don't be humble." "You don't even have full hair, yet you're still humble." "Hahaha..."

Being molested by a group of people, Rikimaru was not angry at all, but was a little speechless.

Because everyone is male, and he is the youngest, so these people always say some nasty jokes on purpose along the way, making him dumbfounded. If he drives a car, these people combined can’t compare to him, and they dare to tease him he.

"Rikimaru, Master Orochimaru said that you are a real genius. With your strength, you can become a Jonin, so don't be humble in front of us."
