#382 - Looking forward to it
After arriving in the Land of Iron, it didn't take Liang Yue much effort to find Kakashi, who was loitering outside the Five Kage Summit venue, accompanied by a depressed-looking, bruised and swollen little blondie.
Honestly, looking at Naruto, whose face was so beaten out of shape, Liang Yue almost didn't recognize him.
Based on his knowledge of the Naruto storyline, a little thought revealed that Naruto's injuries were likely inflicted by a group of young ninjas from the Raikage's village.
The reason being that the Raikage's people firmly believed that the Konoha defector Sasuke had captured their village's rapping sensation, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee.
Furthermore, Killer Bee was now likely dead.
And Naruto, the little blondie, just like in the original story, wouldn't give up chasing after Sasuke due to his brotherly feelings.
Just like Jiraiya in his younger days...
Under these circumstances, a natural conflict arose between the two sides, coupled with the generally fiery temperaments of the Raikage's ninjas, and things blew up as soon as they met in private during the summit.
However, Naruto clearly knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't retaliate at the time, remaining passively beaten.
He even refrained from using the Nine-Tails chakra to heal his injuries afterward...
Of course, the situation quickly took a turn.
In the original storyline, Obito came directly to the Five Kage Summit venue and, while declaring war, also clarified that the Akatsuki organization hadn't captured the Eight-Tails and Killer Bee, but only brought back a squid tentacle.
"...I wonder if Sasuke will still come and make a scene like in the story."
......
After meeting Kakashi and Naruto, they didn't immediately carry out Jiraiya's request, but first went through the proper channels.
They reported the matter to Tsunade, and then began the second 'steal the home base' operation in the Fifth Hokage's office at her residence.
With Liang Yue's arrival, Xiao Jin Kong, as his exclusive battle beast, naturally sensed it.
Before the Hokage could send someone to find him, the little guy had already brought Hinata to the office, arriving just in time.
"So, you're saying that your Team Three has been running around for all these days without any results?"
Seeing Kakashi once again activate his Kamui skill, creating a space-time vortex in the air, and Xiao Jin Kong eagerly jumping into it, Tsunade tilted her head towards Liang Yue with her arms crossed.
An imperceptible hint of complexity appeared on her face~
This obviously corresponded to Tsunade's personal feelings and impressions of Orochimaru.
"Yes, after all, this matter has been going on for some time now, and with his methods, it would indeed be difficult to track him down if he really intended to hide."
"Speaking of which, in the original storyline, the person who truly resolved the battlefield crisis brought about by the Impure World Reincarnation was Itachi.
Now Orochimaru has replaced Kabuto's position.
But theoretically, there isn't much difference between the two anyway, as they both require the caster to abandon the ninjutsu's continuation."
"But the current problem is that Itachi doesn't seem to be dead yet, so naturally he won't be summoned by Impure World Reincarnation.
Without the connection between the caster and the recipient, I don't know if he can still find the other party's exact hiding place."
"However, some time ago, Itachi and Sasuke seemed to have been mixed up within the Akatsuki organization.
Even though Nagato and Konan are now dead, if they really put their minds to it, they should still be able to find some clues, right?"
In comparison, Liang Yue's so-called method was not much different from Itachi's way of tracking down Kabuto in the original story, both relying on the connection between the caster and the recipient to implement it.
The only difference was that Liang Yue also needed to use his hair to indirectly implement this step.
......
《Hair Manipulation》
Level: 6 / 10
Current Level: 6
An instinctive manipulation method from the genetic level.
In principle, the stronger the mental power, the more the power of the ability can be exerted.
Skill Effect: Flexibly control the length, curvature, extension, hardness, and color of hair.
Hair Characteristics: Infinite (as long as there is energy, it can be regenerated infinitely).
Toughness (the toughness is comparable to aerospace-grade metal).
Resistance (possesses a good degree of resistance to energy attacks such as magic and true qi).
Spirit Communication (can become a medium for communication with spirits and has a certain binding effect).
Ability Proficiency: 4087951 / 5000000
......
Obviously, this so-called "Spirit Communication" characteristic was Liang Yue's reliance.
Although he hadn't had any records of directly using his hair to bind people's souls to achieve the purpose of spirit communication.
But this guy usually didn't do fewer experiments on some small animals.
Even once, while on a mission in Konoha, Liang Yue had even caught a summoning beast belonging to a mission target, and indirectly pinpointed the target's location through soul communication!
Therefore, as soon as the news of Orochimaru's capture came, he almost immediately thought of this follow-up response plan.
The reason why he hadn't announced this information and ability was simply because Liang Yue didn't want to expose his trump cards in front of outsiders for the time being.
......
It only took Xiao Jin Kong about five minutes to come out of the Kamui space channel again.
The result was also quite disappointing.
Neither Orochimaru nor Obito were present in that small space at this time.
Tsunade, Kakashi, and others were silent in response to this result.
In fact, Liang Yue had already learned of this news through the mental link between him and his exclusive battle beast the moment Xiao Jin Kong entered the Kamui space.
Thinking about it, it was normal.
After all, just not long ago, they had just stolen all the Sharingan that Obito had stored in the Kamui space through this method.
Given the premise of learning from one's mistakes, it would be a ghost if Obito could hide Orochimaru here~!
"Alright, since he's not in that space, Chunqiu, go back and report this news to Jiraiya.
Also, the situation in the ninja world has been tense recently.
I have a premonition that the war may break out at any time.
The Uchiha with the Rinnegan is indeed very dangerous, so be careful on your side too.
If necessary, come directly and join the main force."
"Okay."
......
After handing over with Tsunade, Liang Yue then handed Xiao Jin Kong back to Hinata, and set off on his way back alone.
Although he really wanted to continue staying on the Five Kage Summit side, waiting for the first scene of the next plot to unfold.
It would be best if he could find a way to leave Obito directly, or take back the Rinnegan, or even destroy it.
In this way, the subsequent plot would naturally end directly!
How simple and clear~
But thinking carefully, if Liang Yue really did this, it would inevitably lead to other troubles in the subsequent time period.
Most importantly, Black Zetsu would definitely lurk again!
This guy is a true master of concealment.
Once he intends to hide, it won't take too long.
As long as he waits for another ten years or so, when the system task automatically fails, Liang Yue really won't have any temper.
Therefore, for him, the safest and most comfortable approach at present is to go through the established process once.
Until a certain moment, after Liang Yue has enough confidence, he will jump out and complete a sure kill!
