Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

Shūzé liked Zhǐshui's attitude. He smiled, took out several kunai from his waist, and handed them to the four.

“This time, we'll split up. What we need to do is cover Lord Jiraiya's actions.”

“Cover?”

Xīyán frowned, understanding Shūzé's meaning somewhat.

“You mean, cause destruction within the Hidden Stone Village?”

“We can't put it that way. It's not about causing destruction.”

Shūzé immediately shook his head.

“With our personnel, how could we possibly cause destruction in someone else's village? We just need to create a disturbance.

After all, our mission is just to investigate Orochimaru, not to attack this place. Normal actions to attract their attention, assisting Captain Jiraiya, that's all.”

Shūzé had a clear understanding of their mission. It's not about fighting to the death, so why make things difficult for everyone?

Of course, what happens afterward is not something Shūzé is currently considering. Even if things escalate, he needs to ensure he can get these people out.

As for the rest, he can take his time!

“Alright, it seems this mission will be troublesome again.”

Kǎkǎxī sighed, while Zhǐshui nodded.

Xīyán and Tiānzàng didn't show much emotion. They just execute missions; they were already used to it.

Looking at the four people in front of him, Shūzé couldn't help but reveal a smile.

“This mission should go smoothly!”

Hidden Stone Village, a dark and windy night.

Yakushi Nonō quietly lurked in the corner of a mountain, carefully observing everything below.

“Is the mission about to begin?”

A few days ago, she received an order from Danzō, which was to eliminate a suspected runaway from Konoha.

To be honest, such a mission was somewhat difficult for her. Although she was an intelligence agent, she was primarily a medical ninja!

As a medical ninja, she was better at saving people than killing them, but Danzō also used her identity as a medical ninja to better obtain information from all sides.

However, this seemed to be her last mission. As long as she completed this mission, she could return to Konoha.

Such temptation was really hard for her to resist, so she had to try her best, at least so she wouldn't regret it.

“Once I go back, I can see Dou, and Shūzé too…”

Yakushi Nonō's heart was filled with guilt for these two children because they both entered the Root in her place.

Although Shūzé was tricked by Dou...

Regardless of the reason, this matter made her unable to let go, and she had to do something for those two children!

“Time is almost up, concentrate.”

Taking a look at the time, Yakushi Nonō immediately sorted out her thoughts. Now was her most crucial moment.

Especially since she had already seen someone appearing below. If there were no accidents, that should be her mission target.

Although it was dark, judging from the height, it seemed to be just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child.

“Is this the fate of a ninja…”

Yakushi Nonō sighed, then calmed down and waited slowly. She needed a better opportunity to strike.

For her, she only had this one chance!

What Nonō didn't know was that her every move was being watched by someone.

“Looks like it's them.”

Orochimaru stood with his arms crossed, quietly watching this scene. The things Danzō had done were indeed a bit boring to him.

But it must be said that such a thing can completely crush a person's heart.

And then, he would have a perfect subordinate.

No matter who survives, it's the same!

“Although it's a bit cruel, isn't that the result of following Danzō?”

Orochimaru muttered, but just as he was watching all this with great interest, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He quickly turned around, and the next moment his pupils dilated slightly.

“Tch, this damn place of the Hidden Stone really is…”

Inside the Hidden Stone Village, Jiraiya tiptoed down the street. Around him, several toads were paying attention to the changing situation.

He had successfully infiltrated the Hidden Stone Village, but looking at the Stone ninjas starting curfew at night, he felt his scalp tingling.

This damn place, there wasn't even a person at night. He was wandering around on the street alone, no different from a living target!

If he was a little careless, he might be caught and questioned, and then…

“Just looking for Orochimaru, he didn't say this mission would be so troublesome at the time!”

Jiraiya didn't dare to think about it anymore. If he thought about it any further, he was worried he wouldn't be able to hold on.

Moreover, since things had come to this, there was no use in complaining. Completing the current task was the most important thing.

“I just hope there will be some gains, and that Ōnoki's nose isn't so sensitive.”

Jiraiya muttered in his heart, while also quietly heading forward.

He was also thinking about what he should do now to be the best.

Should he go to Ōnoki's office to search for information, or would it be better to find a suitable ninja to interrogate?

“Forget it, let's take a look around first. If I really want to catch someone, I might as well just bring that little guy Shūzé over.”

Jiraiya shook his head helplessly. He now somewhat understood the mood of his teacher.

Shūzé was indeed excellent, but this guy's excellence always made people feel uneasy. No one knew what kind of trouble he could cause.

Buzz—

Jiraiya suddenly stopped, looking around as if sensing something, and at the same time, he whispered to the toads around him.

“Do you guys feel anything?”

“It seems like there’s a very strange chakra…”

A small toad jumped onto his shoulder and whispered back.

“Very unfamiliar, but very powerful. It’s not some simple guy, I’m afraid it might be dangerous.”

“Dangerous?”

Jiraiya curled his lips. Weren’t their current circumstances even more dangerous?

Moreover, sensing such chakra made him somewhat worried. After thinking for a moment, he continued to ask.

“Can you determine who it is?”

“How could I possibly confirm? Anyway, it’s not any of those guys you know.”

“Alright.”

Hearing the small toad's words, Jiraiya also felt a headache. After thinking it over, he decided to go and take a look.

Meddling in other people's business wasn't a good thing, but he didn't have any clues inside the Hidden Stone Village. Since that was the case, it would be better to see if there was something different!

Thinking of this, Jiraiya immediately ran quickly in the direction of that chakra.

“He’s coming?”

Not far away, Hidezawa saw Jiraiya following the faint chakra signature, which made him breathe a slight sigh of relief.

He didn't dare to release it too far away. If it was noticed by Onoki in advance, that wouldn't be good.

Moreover, he was using the Dragon Vein's chakra. The only one who had seen this chakra was that kid Yakushi Kabuto, so he wasn't worried about being easily discovered!

After convincing Kakashi and the others, they also came in with Jiraiya. However, compared to Jiraiya's infiltration, their situation was much better.

Hidezawa directly had Shisui use a genjutsu to randomly control a Stone ninja and placed a Flying Thunder God kunai on him.

After he entered the village and found a secluded corner, they would directly follow this mark in!

“I can only say that Jiraiya is sometimes a bit stubborn. With me here, is it necessary to be so troublesome?”

At this time, they had already separated. Hidezawa was in the mobile team searching for Jiraiya's traces, Yugao and Shisui were in a team responsible for one area, and Kakashi and Tenzo were also prepared.

Now they were just waiting for Hidezawa's instructions, and they could start acting.

As for Hidezawa, he had quite a few things to do now.

“Let’s take Jiraiya to find people first.”

Thinking in his heart, Hidezawa slowly controlled the release of the Dragon Vein chakra and quickly moved towards the Flying Thunder God mark on Yakushi Kabuto.

At the same time, he also fully expanded his sensory abilities, quickly scanning the surroundings to find Orochimaru as soon as possible.

However, he couldn't help but complain in his heart that the location Kabuto and the others chose seemed a bit too far.

“What exactly is the meaning of this chakra?”

Following behind Hidezawa, Jiraiya's expression was also somewhat strange, because he had no idea what this chakra meant.

But he wasn't stupid either. He could feel that this chakra seemed to be deliberately guiding him towards a place.

“Now it’s heading towards a more and more remote place. Is it going to be a battle here?”

Jiraiya muttered to himself, and he slowly began to prepare for battle.

“Hey, Jiraiya, it seems like there’s someone ahead.”

At this moment, a small toad suddenly spoke.

“Nonsense, if there wasn't someone, how would you explain this chakra?”

Jiraiya almost rolled his eyes, but as he continued forward and entered a stone forest, his whole body suddenly froze!

Looking at the figure in white, Jiraiya had already recognized who this person was.

The figure seemed to sense something as well, and he quickly turned around. The moment their eyes met, they both fell into silence.

“Orochimaru, so you really are here!”

After a while, Jiraiya finally spoke, his expression becoming extremely serious.

“This time, you have nowhere to run. Come back to Konoha with me. I must bring you back!”

“Jiraiya…”

Orochimaru's original expression of watching a play instantly disappeared, and his expression was somewhat unsightly as he looked at the guy in front of him.

He couldn't figure out how this guy appeared here. Isn't this ghost place the Hidden Stone Village?

Did Danzo sell me out?

Otherwise, how could his whereabouts be exposed?

Immediately, Orochimaru couldn't help but think of his unreliable partner.

After all, it wasn't the first or second time he had been sold out by Danzo!

Back then, when Minato Namikaze was still alive, he once thought that he was the only candidate for the Fourth Hokage, and no one took this young man Minato Namikaze seriously.

Danzo also thought so, but that guy developed greed for the Hokage position and unhesitatingly released information about his human experimentation to the outside world!

This incident almost made him miss out on becoming Hokage. The Hokage cannot have blemishes, at least not before becoming Hokage.

It could be said that as long as Orochimaru was taken down, Danzo believed that he was the most likely person to become Hokage!

But in the end, all of this became Minato Namikaze's wedding dress, and neither he nor Danzo had any chance.

Even if Danzo turned around and supported Orochimaru again after the Root was annihilated, it was already too late.

He still remembered these things, so he wouldn't be surprised even if Danzo did something else!

If it weren't for experimental materials and funding, Orochimaru would have wanted to strangle Danzo to death at times.

“How are you here?”
