"Your Land of Rice Fields recently built a new ninja village, didn't you?"
"Oh, gentlemen, you know about this too?"
The hotel owner said in surprise.
"About a few years ago, a Sound Village was built here. Although it's not big, its strength is quite good."
"Many ninjas from other places have gone to the Sound Village; their mission efficiency is particularly high."
"Our local daimyo is very supportive of the Sound Village; I heard they gave them a lot of money."
Before setting off, Elder Takuya inquired about the location of the Sound Village and some other details.
After resting, the Uchiha clan members quickly headed towards the Sound Village.
The Land of Rice Fields is small, and it only took two days to reach the territory of the Sound Village.
To avoid accidentally injuring anyone, Itachi asked the others to settle in town first, while he and Shisui planned to scout ahead alone.
The Sound Village looks rather shabby; its territory is smaller than the Uchiha clan's hometown, and only a few hundred people come and go.
But when Itachi and Shisui entered the village, they could clearly sense that there was a lot of powerful chakra hidden inside.
Those were all Jonin-level ninjas.
The two kept a close eye on things and found the mission center according to the client's instructions.
The task center has only one window.
Inside sat a plump middle-aged woman, an ordinary-looking person.
Shisui stepped forward to speak, and the auntie in the group smiled and said, "Welcome to the Sound Village, is there anything we can help you with?"
Shisui politely replied, "We are looking for someone, who might be in your Otogakure."
"Oh? I wonder who you two are looking for?"
The aunt asked curiously.
"They're looking for me."
A man wearing glasses walked in with a big smile; it was Yakushi Kabuto.
"Please come with me, both of you."
Kabuto greeted the old woman and led Itachi and Shisui toward the back of the village.
Behind the village was a small hill, and the further they walked, the fewer people there were, until finally only the footsteps of the three of them could be heard.
After a short while, they stopped in front of a mountain hollow.
"I wonder what brings the renowned Shisui of the Body Flicker and the young master of the Uchiha clan to our Sound Village?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several figures jumped out from the side, wearing all sorts of headbands.
These are all followers Orochimaru recruited from other villages, and they are all Jonin-level.
They all looked at Itachi and Shisui with hostility.
Ignoring the stares around him, Itachi took a step forward: "You must be Kabuto Yakushi. Where is Orochimaru?"
Itachi's tone was calm and unwavering, but the Jonin seemed to have been provoked.
"How dare you address me by my name!"
He then pounced on Itachi and Shisui.
.....
Suddenly, he kicked Itachi.
"Oh dear, oh dear..."
Accompanied by the cawing of crows, Itachi transformed into a flock of crows.
While the crow was in mid-air, Itachi instantly teleported to mid-air.
The shurikens flew down with a whoosh, colliding and changing positions in mid-air.
It took the combined efforts of four Sound Ninja to block Itachi's shuriken attack.
Itachi moved in an instant and kicked a Sound Ninja away.
The remaining three quickly engaged Itachi in combat.
The other two rushed towards Shisui, but with just a glance from him, they both collapsed to the ground.
Kabuto Yakushi stood there without making a move; these Sound Ninja were Jonin recruited by Orochimaru.
They are all quite capable.
Even with a group attack, Itachi took little effort to defeat them.
Itachi used the Crow Clone Technique.
Shisui remained motionless, and with a single illusion, he rendered the two incapable of fighting. He didn't participate in the ensuing battle at all.
Before long, these Sound Ninja Jonin were lying on the ground...
Chapter 37 Dangerous Technique! Obtaining the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique!
"This is so disappointing. They couldn't even force out the Mangekyou Sharingan?"
A hoarse yet magnetic voice rang out.
Orochimaru, who had just changed bodies, emerged from the shadows.
Kabuto said in a low voice, "I'm very sorry, Lord Orochimaru."
"Step back. The battle that follows is not for you."
Although I just changed bodies, having Manda by my side should be enough.
Orochimaru's handsome face remained cold as he bit his finger, uttering: "Boar, Dog, Rooster, Monkey, Sheep..."
Kabuto was taken aback. Orochimaru-sama was going to use that move directly?
"Spiritual communication!"
Boom! Thick smoke billowed out.
Itachi and Shisui jumped out.
A deafening sound rang in my ears.
"Orochimaru, you're summoning me this time to offer a sacrifice!"
Orochimaru said with annoyance, "Defeat them, and I'll prepare a sacrifice for you."
"Roar!"
A scream.
Manda's massive body lashed out like a whip.
"boom!"
A huge crater was smashed into the ground!
The monstrous snakes missed their target and slowly raised their heads, their enormous forms obscuring the earth.
Kabuto quickly pulled three nearby Jonin away from the area.
The other ninjas had been crushed into a pulp by Manda.
"Uchiha Itachi! I didn't expect you to come looking for me!"
Orochimaru stared greedily at the Sharingan in Itachi's eyes.
Before his defection, he had witnessed this genius's training methods, which were almost suicidal.
At that time, he developed a desire for the Sharingan.
After taking control of the daimyo of the Land of Rice Fields, he established the Sound Village, developing it while researching ninjutsu.
In just a few years, he improved upon the Impure World Reincarnation technique left behind by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
He also made his first attempt at the method of immortality—reincarnation.
Because he couldn't forget Itachi's Sharingan, he was planning to take action.
Unexpectedly, news came from Konoha's inside sources that the Uchiha had broken ties with Konoha.
Itachi Uchiha and Fugaku even awakened the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan.
Orochimaru hadn't expected Fugaku to have been in the ninja world for so long, or that the Third Shinobi World War would have lasted so long.
I'd never heard of Fugaku having the Mangekyou Sharingan, but now it's showing up.
Despite his young age, Itachi already possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Itachi and Shisui exchanged a glance, determined to ensure the smooth execution of Kotoamatsukami and prevent Orochimaru from being on guard against the genjutsu.
To deal with a giant summoning beast like Manda, the only option is Susanoo.
"Come on, Itachi! Let me see the Susanoo of the Mangekyou Sharingan!!"
Orochimaru was filled with fanaticism; he was determined to collect all the ninjutsu in the world.
Susanoo is a legendary technique, so how could he, as a researcher, not be excited?
boom! boom! boom!
Each time the Thousand Serpents charged, it was like a magnitude 7 earthquake had occurred.
The ground exploded, sand and gravel flew everywhere, and dust filled the sky!
Itachi and Shisui had no choice but to keep dodging.
Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, the flying debris carried deadly force.
"No, we have to leave!"
With three unconscious men in tow, they had no choice but to quickly retreat from the battlefield.
"Itachi! Hiding isn't like you. Come on, let me see the legendary power of the gods!"
Orochimaru was itching to see the legendary Susanoo.
