Chapter 43 Illusory Rain - Time Also
Gojo Yoru didn't have much contact with Minami, which was for her own good.
He didn't know what Orochimaru was doing in Amegakure, but he certainly wasn't there for sightseeing.
If Orochimaru causes any disturbance in Amegakure, Gojo Yoru, who came to Amegakure with him, will definitely be under scrutiny, including Konan, whom he has been in contact with.
Therefore, Gojo Yoru had no intention of getting closer to Minami.
After tucking the paper flowers into the pocket inside his raincoat, Gojo continued to stroll around Amegakure, occasionally stopping in front of some awnings to buy some local snacks, stuffing his mouth full like a carefree child.
……
Hanzo the Salamander's residence is located in the heart of Amegakure, but it is not a steel building; instead, it is a tower resembling a traditional building.
Despite being in the core area, the area around the tower felt like a sparsely populated suburb.
The biggest highlight of this area is its wide-open view.
Around the tower, there were also a few dozen Rain Ninjas wearing breathing masks as guards. This was only what could be seen from the outside; it was unknown how many were inside the tower.
This shows that even though Hanzo the Salamander stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world, he was still very cautious.
The scene shifts to inside the tower, in an empty corridor, where a tatami mat suddenly bulges out like a bulge.
Then this bulge slowly transformed into a human form, becoming Orochimaru in disguise.
As soon as he appeared, Orochimaru formed hand seals and unleashed his full sensory abilities.
Orochimaru's expression quickly turned extremely serious, and he muttered to himself, "It's really true. This is really going to be chaotic."
To confirm this further, Orochimaru would have to dive back underground to explore the tower.
With a dripping sound, a drop of water suddenly fell from the ceiling, passing by Orochimaru's eyelids from top to bottom.
The next second, a ripple appeared in the space in front of Orochimaru, like a mirage in the desert.
A figure wielding a ninja sword slowly solidified from its distorted form.
"Phantom Rain...Tokiya."
Orochimaru pronounced the person's title and name, and then a crack slowly appeared from the left shoulder to the right waist.
With a thud, Orochimaru's body, split in two, turned into a puddle of mud and fell to the ground.
"An earth clone... is it an Iwa ninja?" Toki murmured. "Could it be that something happened to Lord Hanzo?"
While saying this, Shi Ye quickly bit her finger and formed a hand seal.
"Spiritual communication!"
He crouched down and slapped the ground, which summoned a strangely shaped rat.
The rat merely sniffed the mud left by Orochimaru before burrowing into the ground and disappearing.
Before long, three people in a group, a total of nine Rain Ninja wearing breathing masks, turned into afterimages that were invisible to the naked eye and flew towards the southwest of the tower.
"Such speed..."
Looking at the Rain Ninjas who were instantly approaching him, Orochimaru's face showed no panic, but rather a relaxed expression. He muttered to himself, "I still can't sense that chakra. It seems that it is indeed not in Amegakure."
As long as that great figure standing at the pinnacle of the ninja world is not around, Orochimaru has nothing to fear.
Not only that, Orochimaru also conceived the idea of using them.
He took out a scroll that could be held in one hand, deliberately exposing it to the sight of the group of Rain Ninja, and then teleported towards the central street of Amegakure.
Gojo Yoru was eating a red bean pie at that moment. In this backward little place, apart from local specialties, there was nothing worth buying.
Gojo Yoru didn't even think about bringing Kushina Uzumaki a souvenir.
He finally understood why the Land of Fire and Konoha became the targets of all other countries during every Shinobi World War.
The resources are really great.
The Land of Fire, with its pristine environment, abundant trees, and fresh air, boasts a higher average lifespan than people in other countries, unless they die in war or accidents.
For business people, unless they have no other choice, their first choice is definitely to do business in the Land of Fire and Konoha.
While eating red bean pie, Gojo continued to wander around, finding it even more boring than waiting in a deserted place.
Waiting in a deserted place, with Orochimaru by your side, you can consult this elite Jonin if you encounter any problems you don't understand.
Now that he's all alone in Amegakure, Gojo doesn't know what to do.
Orochimaru didn't say whether he would stay overnight in Amegakure, so Gojo Yoru couldn't even go to an inn to book a room, take a hot bath, have some tea and dumplings, and enjoy the rain.
Now he can only pass the time by eating, which fits the image of a gluttonous child.
whoosh-
At that moment, a piercing sound of something cutting through the air exploded in Gojo Yoru's ears.
"Walk!"
The next second, Gojo Yoru's shoulder was grabbed by a hand, and his body was lifted up by a tremendous force, flying onto the roof.
Seeing Orochimaru's solemn expression, Gojou felt a sudden unease.
Holy crap, that expression... could it be that he's being chased by a demigod?
Quickly taking control of his body and leaping into the air, Gojo Yoru glanced behind him and saw that the pursuers were just a group of Rain Ninja, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he turned around, ready to say something.
Suddenly, a scroll came into view.
Orochimaru said with a serious expression, "I'll hold off the people behind you. You must get this information back to the village as quickly as possible, without delay."
Orochimaru shoved the scroll into Gojou Yoru's hand, landed in a flash, and immediately turned to face the approaching Rain Ninja. He formed hand seals and chanted, "Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!"
The ground, dampened by the rain, immediately liquefied and formed a giant earth dragon, roaring towards the group of Rain Ninjas.
"Teacher, please be careful. I'll wait for you to come back."
Watching Orochimaru's moving figure disappear into the ground, Gojo Yoru did not insist on staying. Instead, he left a message and used Earth Flicker Technique to quickly leave Amegakure.
After traveling an unknown distance and consuming half of his chakra, Gojou Yoru finally emerged from the ground.
The sky remained covered by thick, dark clouds, and rain shrouded the earth in a white mist, with only some rocky mountains of varying heights visible in the surrounding area.
Although they have left Amegakure, they are still within the territory of the Land of Rain.
Gojo Yoru didn't stop for a moment, continuing to run towards the Land of Fire while preparing to take out a soldier's ration pill from his body to restore his strength.
Suddenly, Gojo Yoru's pupils contracted sharply, as if he had seen something.
Without time to take any rations, Gojou immediately formed hand seals to disrupt the flow of chakra within his body, while simultaneously channeling space-time chakra throughout his entire being, ready to enter a state of complete intangibility at any moment.
Swah——
The moment Gojo Yoru formed the hand seals, he saw a flash of cold light, hidden by the rain, slashing towards him.
