After taking over the snake uncle's foundation, Sasuke came to surrender on his own initiative.

In the following days, Yinzhu did not go out again.

And the Sound Ninjas in Sound Village also experienced what it means to be in pain and happy at the same time.

Yin Zhu used Kimimaro and the others as human sandbags, practicing with each other, calling it "mutual achievement". After each practice, Yin Zhu would pick out some ninjutsu packs with corresponding attributes from his warehouse as rewards for practicing with himself.

As a result, the originally all-round abusive sparring finally made the Sound Ninjas love and hate it.

Most of the people in the Sound Village are very determined and stubborn. Among them, Kimimaro and Ningci are the worst, followed by the four Sound Ninjas and many of them, such as Yuya and other "experimental subjects".

Then came Koto and the others from the Sound Ninja trio.

As for Bai, after returning to the village with Zabuza, he mostly stayed at home and seemed to be unfamiliar with everything in Otogakure.

Even after wearing the Sound-Ninja forehead protector, he rarely interacted with other Sound-Ninjas.

Seeing Yinzhu looking for sparring partners everywhere, Zabuza also felt itchy and volunteered to be Yinzhu's sparring partner. He seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Yinzhu's previous victory over him in physical skills in the Land of Waves.

He stopped talking afterwards...

But since the young men like Kimimaro didn't cry or shout about quitting, Zabuza was too embarrassed to speak up, so even if the sparring partner was hurt and his bones were broken, he would just groan a few times at most, then grit his teeth and continue, and then... he would pull Byakuya over.

In the end, the two elite jonin of Otogakure, Kabuto and Zabuza, except Kabuto, rose up and went to Orochimaru's side.

The elite jonin Zabuza, as well as Haku and Kimimaro, Neji, Sakon, the chuunins, and even Tayuya and Koto Tsuchigumi were not spared and were beaten to a pulp by Ontake.

But at the same time, their physical skills and combat capabilities have been greatly improved under such high-intensity training. In addition, Yinzhu specially picked out the useful ninjutsu packages and "passed on" them directly, which led to a rapid improvement in the strength of his Yin ninjas.

And the ninjas of Otogakure have truly witnessed how ferocious their boss is in recent days since Otogakure stopped hiding his true self.

His ninjutsu, tai, illusion, speed, defense, and strength are all ridiculously strong. He is definitely a rare hexagonal ninja in the ninja world. When fighting face to face, even if he just stands there motionless, he can make the opponent feel deeply despair and powerless.

Even an elite jonin like Zabuza is the same.

But the rapid improvement in strength made the Sound Ninjas unable to stop.

How could this not make the Sound Ninjas excited and painful? They loved and feared their leader, Sound Zhu.

However, every day when Ototake was ravaging Haku, Kimimaro, Neji and the others, the four girls, Karin, Tayuya, Sakura, and Koto, all came to watch with great joy.

I just like to see these usually cold and arrogant young geniuses screaming in embarrassment after being beaten by Yin Zhu.

But when it comes to Sakura and other girls' turn, Ototake will not give them any preferential treatment just because they are pretty girls. He will be just as ruthless and beat them up in the face or break their bones, and then Karin and the Uzumaki clan's medical ninjas will treat them.

However, half a month passed, and everything was calm in Sound Village and even in the Land of Rice.

Yin Zhu never saw the man appear.

But the calmer it was, the more Yin Zhu felt a solemn atmosphere of impending storm.

There seems to be a dark wave surging in the ninja world.

……

early morning.

On both sides of the long stone steps, two rows of pine and fir trees in the shape of "▲" are neatly planted.

Under the trees, there are still shrubs common in the ninja world. In the early morning, it is full of green. The air is filled with the fresh smell of morning light and the fragrance of daisies.

"Chi chi chi chi——"

Birds were buzzing in the bushes, chirping.

At this time.

Two figures wearing black robes with red clouds on them walked up and down the stairs.

clatter--

clatter--

At the top of the stairs, Itachi slowly walked down the stairs, as if he didn't notice at all that there was a figure wearing the Akatsuki uniform just like him at the bottom of the stairs.

until......

It was only when the two were only ten steps apart that Itachi stopped and looked indifferently at the disheveled black-haired man below him. He was another core member of the organization - Kong Chen.

The three magatama in the eyes began to rotate gently, and seemed to be gradually connecting into a circle, but finally the magatama slowly stopped.

Itachi stopped there, as if waiting for Orochimaru below to make way for him.

However, the man with skin as pale as paper and narrow eyelids and mouth corners did not stop and continued to go up the stone stairs.

Seeing this, the red light in Itachi's pupils dimmed a little, and he took a step silently.

Snapped--

despair--

Snapped--

despair--

Rhythmic footsteps sounded again on the stairs. The two people seemed not to see each other and walked on as if they were oblivious to each other.

The two men passed each other expressionlessly.

But at this moment!

Orochimaru's golden pupils widened a little, then he suddenly turned his head and waved his left hand. A huge brown snake covered with scales suddenly emerged from his sleeves and tightly wrapped around Itachi's body.

"(⊙o⊙) Uh..."

Itachi's expression changed slightly, and he wanted to struggle, "Cluck, cluck..." The big snake's body shrank, but it wrapped him even tighter.

At this moment, a hoarse and gloomy voice sounded behind him. "Do you know what eternal life is, Itachi?"

Itachi turned his head and looked back out of the corner of his eye.

Orochimaru just raised his hand slightly, and Itachi's body was uncontrollably rolled into the air by the snake. Orochimaru smiled evilly, "I don't know yet, so I need a new body."

"It will... allow me to achieve eternal physical perfection."

Even though his body was restrained and his back was exposed to the enemy, Itachi's tone was still calm and his voice was cold. "In the final analysis...it's just a matter of your desire."

As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru's pupils trembled, and the black vertical line in his golden snake pupils suddenly shrank!

He looked at Itachi standing in front of him intact, and spoke in disbelief. "I never thought... I would fall for your Golden Binding Illusion!"

Orochimaru's face twitched uncontrollably, as if he was struggling to get rid of Itachi's illusion, but his pair of golden snake eyes stared at Itachi's blood-red eyes, with greed in his eyes not concealed at all. "What a powerful pupil power... It's really... Amazing!"
