I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

Ye Lan quickly replied and asked Naraku to hand over the funds to Si.

As for the address of the orphanage, the courtyard where they lived was simply renovated and put into use.

Due to the lack of subordinates, Michiko started to be busy as usual. After practicing every day, he would also help Honglian and Dou purchase some things for the orphanage.

Originally, thinking about these trivial matters would make Mi feel unhappy, but Mi never got tired of it. These things did not exist in Orochimaru's memory at all, and they were very new to him.

This small town is not big, but fortunately there is a larger city not far from here. After knowing that an orphanage was going to open here, many refugees came here. Fortunately, Ye Lan had instructed that many security team members were patrolling this area, so no one dared to cause trouble.

That day he went shopping with Dou as usual, but he met a figure on the street that gave him a chill.

The other person was wearing a white feather robe, with all his hair tied back into a ponytail, and a symbol similar to the number 4 was engraved under the left corner of his eye.

As soon as he saw this person, he felt like he was being targeted by his natural enemy. Even Ye Lan had not brought him such great pressure.

As soon as Si's eyes turned to the other person, he reacted and looked in Si's direction.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and walked straight over.

"Master, is there any problem?"

Dou saw that something was wrong with Si's expression, and he also saw the other party, but he did not feel any pressure in the confrontation. He just pulled out his hand and was ready to fight at any time.

"Dou, wait a minute."

His face turned pale, and he did not correct Dou's address. He held the other party tightly to prevent him from doing anything impulsive.

The man ignored Kabuto and placed his hand on his chest in a gesture similar to that between nobles.

"It's the first time we meet. My name is Cixian. I didn't expect to meet someone who practices natural energy here. It's been a long time since I last saw him."

I couldn't tell what the other party was up to, but I still spoke politely.

"My name is Mikoto, and next to me is my assistant Kabuto. Why do you say that, Mr. Jigen? Have you ever seen someone who practices natural energy before?"

Jixian looked very graceful and polite. Some memories flashed through his eyes, and then he spoke.

"I have also been in a deep sleep for some reason and have just woken up recently. In the past, I have met many people like you, but it seems that you have just been practicing this energy for a short time. Can you tell me who taught you?"

"The person who taught me to practice has died. He was very famous in the ninja world. His name was Jiraiya. If you ask around, you should be able to find out some information about him. He is the famous Toad Sage in the ninja world."

Even though he was a little scared, Michiru still lied expressionlessly. But what he said was not wrong. Jiraiya could indeed use natural energy. After all, he was a dead man, so he couldn't find out.

"Really? What a pity! I still want to meet that person. But as far as I know, he should be more than one person in this world who practices natural energy, otherwise I would not have awakened early."

Cixian said it was a pity, but her eyes remained calm. She was very smart and did not ask him about his sleeping and waking up.

"Please stop practicing natural energy, or I might kill you. This kind of power shouldn't exist in this world. We are clearly bringing more useful chakra to this world."

Cixian said that killing was as plain as drinking water, as if it was an ordinary thing.

Dou almost couldn't hold back his anger. Tsutomu's change had made him completely respect him. Jigen insulted Tsutomu in such a way that if Tsutomu hadn't held him tightly, he would have taken out his chakra scalpel.

He lowered his head and said, "Okay, I will follow your advice. I was not interested in this originally."

Cixian nodded with satisfaction. He was very satisfied with the other party's attitude.

"Then I won't bother you. My Lord has a lot to do after he woke me up. We'll meet again if we're lucky."

Without waiting for Si to reply, Cixian turned around. He had no desire to continue talking. If it weren't for the fluctuations of natural energy appearing in Si's body, he would not have stopped.

Not caring about the people on the street, Cixian waved his arm. A terrifying aura appeared on him, and then a black and red round object appeared in the air.

The civilians on the street were panicked by the scene before them, and some even knelt on the ground.

The security team in the distance saw the situation and rushed forward, but Cixian ignored them and stepped into the round object. When his figure disappeared, the round object also shrank rapidly and finally disappeared.

"What the hell is that?"

Dou opened his mouth wide. He was very glad that he had grabbed him just now. There was obviously no chakra fluctuation on the other party at the beginning, but everything changed when the black and red object appeared.

This huge amount of chakra made him tremble uncontrollably. It's not like Dou had never seen Ye Lan before, but he had never seen such pure chakra in anyone else.

The crowd on the street was in chaos, and Si's face was not looking very good. He felt his soul tremble when he saw the other party for the first time. It was a very wise decision not to take action just now.

"Dou, please go back quickly. I need to write a letter to Ye Lan. I'm afraid he's in big trouble."

What made Yi feel most uncomfortable was that he realized that the other party might not be human. Master, sleeping, awakening, what exactly was hidden behind these words.

The other party also said that he brought chakra to this world, and every word made him uneasy.

Now Si just wants to live quietly, but it seems that even if he becomes like this, he may not be able to survive.

"What is the truth of this world, and does it have anything to do with the Sage of Six Paths?"

Si's mind was in a mess. He had a premonition that the Jigen he met today was on the same level as the Six Paths Sage.

...

And the Black Zetsu, who was lurking far away in Kumogakure, suddenly stopped.

It originally wanted to investigate Naruto's location, and knowing that he wanted to practice the power of the Nine-Tails, it had been investigating in Kumogakure.

However, the fluctuations caused by Jigen's use of the space portal caused it to suddenly stop.

"This aura! There's no doubt about it, it's Ōtsutsuki Isshiki! This guy, this guy is actually still alive!"

For the first time, a look of panic appeared on Hei Zetsu's face. Even Ye Lan did not make it so scared.

"Why can it come back to life! Mom is still sealed! No, we have to speed up the plan of the tailed beasts and revive the Ten-Tails as soon as possible. We can't delay it any longer! If this guy's strength is still there, no one can do anything to him unless Mom eats the fruit!"

As the mastermind who knows everything, Black Zetsu is well aware of how terrifying the Otsutsuki clan is. People like Ashura, Indra and even the Six Paths Sage are all weak to him.

These mixed-blood guys are no match for the pure Otsutsuki. Their strength is simply not on the same level. Even Kaguya seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on them.

I just didn't expect that the other party would show up at this critical moment.

Black Zetsu narrowed his eyes and made up his mind that he would quickly investigate the location of the Nine-Tails and then tell Nagato.
