Chapter 187 Orochimaru's Suspicion

Boom boom——

There were constant vibrations in the distance.

Orochimaru lowered his narrow eyes and fell into deep thought as he looked at the information in front of him.

Why would Kawanzo, such a low-key ninja who refused to even be promoted to Chunin, suddenly become so powerful?

A ninja hiding in the dark suddenly reveals his figure. The only possibility is that his goal has been achieved and he is about to show his killing move.

Other than that, Orochimaru had no other explanation for Kawazo's behavior.

But there is a precedent.

New collection.

The new Tibetan culture of that time was either silent or stunning.

He had always been an unknown Chunin teacher in the Ninja School, but he began to shine after being promoted to Jonin by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

It is obviously impossible for him to grow from an unknown person in Konoha to a ninja who can fight against hundreds of enemies on the battlefield in a short period of time, reaching the peak in both strategy and strength.

The only possibility is that Shinzo had been hiding his strength until the final battle, when he fully released himself.

The current Sichuan-Tibet is exactly the same as the Xinjiang-Tibet back then, but this is what Orochimaru really can't understand.

Is there any connection between Sichuan-Tibet and Xinjiang-Tibet?

Although the child was brought back by Xinzang, Xinzang had died before Chuanzang was old enough to understand things!

Shinzo's body was stored in the root. The body was well preserved and had been studied countless times by Orochimaru. There was nothing special about it. In fact, the talent of that body was not as good as Orochimaru's own.

It's impossible that Sichuan Tibet was already sensible and carried some kind of will of his nominal father, Xinjiang Tibet, when he was still in his infancy?

There are people who are precocious, but the precocity of a child in swaddling clothes is still too contrary to human cognition, and Orochimaru cannot understand it.

In addition, there is another possible connection, which is Mr. Gu Zang. It is said that Xin Zang was once taught by Mr. Gu Zang.

However, no one could verify this claim. Even the Anbu and Root had no accurate information that Gu Zang had ever taught Shinzo. No one had ever actually seen Shinzo seeking instruction from Gu Zang, let alone any connection between the two.

Someone who is related to both of them might know some more secret things, but that person is also dead - Konoha White Fang, Hatake Sakumo.

Orochimaru knew very well about Sakumo's death, which was completely manipulated by Danzo in secret. This seemed to be a separate matter, but what if it was connected with Shinzo's death?

An invisible pair of hands seemed to be constantly covering up the intelligence clues. No matter which line of thinking and exploration one took, one would return to the original place. This was also what Orochimaru found terrifying when he thought about it carefully.

Did Konoha still have secrets that Orochimaru didn't know about? Was there any hidden forces or ninjas in the village?

Orochimaru would rather think too much, but smart people often know one thing: once coincidences are intertwined, they will gradually begin to prove that these coincidences are not coincidences.

Kawanzo's behavior made Orochimaru begin to doubt the reason for Shinzo's death. Was he really unable to fight again and was killed by a sneak attack?

Orochimaru had already dug into Shinzo's life history and read it thoroughly. Before becoming a Jonin, Shinzo was truly unknown, and even his ninja missions were all D-level missions that could not be examined.

The only higher-level mission he had was to deliver a letter to the Daimyo's mansion with Sarutobi Hiruzen, but only Sarutobi Hiruzen knew the inside story, and Hiruzen never told anyone else.

From then on, Shinzo seemed to have entered Hiruzen's sight, but he resigned many times and continued to stay in the ninja school until the outbreak of World War II.

Everyone knows the rest of his resume. Shinzo's determination to work hard for his students and for the new buds of Konoha to shine has made him a role model in the hearts of many people, and has left a strong mark on the ninja school's achievement list. Precisely because of his heroism, it is too normal, so normal that Orochimaru feels it is abnormal.

A good warrior does not necessarily have glorious achievements. A man like Xinzang should not have died from exhaustion in a sneak attack.

In other words, if Xinzang achieved his goal and could die peacefully, then was his goal really for his students?

What is the purpose of Sichuan-Tibet?

......

There is war raging in the borders of the Rain Country, but the area around the Rain Village is very quiet, and the Rain Ninjas are hiding there.

Outside the Rain Village, the old little house is no longer inhabited, but there is a huge cave underground that was dug out at some point in time.

The source of information that Orochimaru has been thinking about, Hatake Sakumo, is here.

"Uncle Kong Chen, what's going on outside?"

The sound of short-heeled sandals stepping on the stone slabs came along with Xiaonan's questions.

Sakumo shook his head.

"I don't know. I can only watch from afar and dare not get too close. However, the war seems to be getting more and more intense. The sounds of those ninjutsu bombings outside the village every day are more frequent."

Since Nagato came back last time, he started studying his eyes. There are many mysteries of the Rinnegan, and it cannot be fully mastered in a short time.

So he has been hiding underground, and Konan also moved underground with Nagato to live and take care of Nagato who seemed like a madman.

Until a few days ago, Nagato suddenly cried like crazy, without saying why, and then fell into a daze, living like a walking corpse.

Konan had no choice but to ask the only remaining peripheral member of Akatsuki to come to the bunker to help her monitor and transmit intelligence.

Although Sakumo did not show his strength, it was precisely because he had no strength that Konan was confident in using him to gather intelligence. After all, in the Rain Village, no one would think that an honest middle-aged man was a remnant of the Akatsuki organization.

Information about the warring villages is secondary; the primary information is from the Rain Village, to prevent Hanzo from finding their hiding place.

Moreover, Nagato's murderous intention towards Hanzo continues, and Konan fully supports Nagato's revenge.

"Uncle Kong Chen..."

At this moment, Nagato suddenly walked out of the room in the bunker.

"Nagato!"

Xiaonan hurried to meet him.

"When did you wake up!?"

To Konan, Nagato, who was like a walking corpse before, was no different from a living dead.

"Thank you for this time, Uncle Kong Chen."

Nagato took Konan's hand that was reaching towards him, but gently pushed it away and walked in front of Sakumo.

"The Akatsuki organization is gone. Even if it continues to maintain order, the purpose of the Akatsuki organization will change. I will inherit the peace of Yahiko, but I no longer need the recognition of the world."

"Uncle Kong Chen, please leave the Akatsuki organization."

There was no longer too much sadness in Nagato's reincarnation eyes, but instead it became more ruthless.

"Nagato..."

Konan came over with some worry. During this period, Kong Chen played a very important role. Whether it was the transportation of supplies, the transmission of intelligence, or other aspects of care, Kong Chen almost became the steward of Nagato and Konan. It would be too hurtful to drive Kong Chen away at this time.

But she didn't expect that Kong Chen opposite her just sighed and nodded.

"Since I am no longer needed, I will leave. Even if the ideals are no longer there, I hope that Akatsuki's will to pursue peace can continue. Nagato, Konan, I bid you farewell. I hope we will meet again one day."

After saying that, Hatake Sakumo smiled faintly, lowered his head and turned around as if saying goodbye, and walked towards the outside of the bunker.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Xiaonan looked at Kong Chen and Nagato who were leaving with an embarrassed look on his face, but he never left Nagato's side, nor did he say anything to stop them.

It wasn't until Sakumo's figure became smaller in sight and he walked to the entrance of the bunker that Nagato suddenly spoke.

"Wait, Uncle Kong Chen..."

......
