Chapter 253 Orochimaru! Anko, the Hokage's Disciple!
Obito let out a long sigh of relief.
"We need to retrieve the Demon Statue of the Heretic as soon as possible."
Black Zetsu comforted him:
"Don't worry, the moon won't run away. We're just temporarily storing the Gedo Mazo there."
"Before that, you need to master the Rinnegan."
Muye Village
In the research lab of Orochimaru, the Fifth Hokage.
This was Xiao Nan's first time experiencing the instantaneous teleportation brought by the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The sudden change in space made her feel a little dizzy.
Just moments ago, the air was filled with the sounds of explosions and endless smoke.
In the blink of an eye, the scene has changed to a silent laboratory interior.
But right now, the most important thing is to take care of Nagato.
Nagato was seriously injured, with his ribs clearly broken, and his overall condition was very poor.
Fortunately, the group arrived at the scene just in time.
Minato immediately went to find a doctor for help.
However, Orochimaru is not in the research lab now; only Karin is there.
Karin immediately stepped forward and helped Nagato onto the hospital bed.
Then they took him into the treatment room.
No one other than Xiao Nan is allowed to follow.
Only Jiraiya and Minato remained at the scene.
At this point, Minato did not intend to reveal his identity to his teacher.
"Lord Jiraiya, I need to go find Lord Orochimaru."
"Wait! We'll talk about it later!"
Although Jiraiya was not injured, he had used up a lot of chakra, so he was in the best condition.
But Minato ignored him completely and vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Kawasaki had previously informed Minato and the others about the possibility of dealing with the Third Hokage.
If we allow the two people to recognize each other now, there will be many more concerns in the future.
Therefore, Shuimen quickly left.
Now that the other party knows he knows the Flying Thunder God Technique, there's no need to keep it a secret any longer.
As long as the master cannot find conclusive evidence...
Jiraiya was left alone on the scene in an instant.
Looking at the empty research room.
Jiraiya couldn't help but feel a surge of irritation.
However, he was Jiraiya, and he quickly composed himself and cleared his mind.
"Since you're unwilling to admit it, then I'll gather the evidence myself!"
As he spoke, he clasped his hands together in front of him and opened his mouth.
It spat out an orange toad with blue-green patterns on its body.
Its body unfolds like a scroll.
This scroll toad named Tiger has placed another layer of security around Naruto.
Simply put, it's based on Minato Namikaze sealing the Nine-Tails.
Toad Tiger holds the key to either lifting or strengthening the seal.
After Yin appeared, he crossed his arms and said:
"Why did you summon me out here? I've come."
Jiraiya looked at Inari with a sense of unease and said, "Yes, there are indeed some things I need to ask you."
"Speak."
Jiraiya became serious:
"Can you find traces of Minato by sensing the chakra he left in your contract?"
Yin frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about? Minato has been dead for more than ten years."
In fact, Yin is different from other similar beings.
Because the key it holds was personally made by Minato Namikaze and contains his chakra aura.
If Yin had mastered sufficiently advanced summoning skills, he could even summon Minato Namikaze to his location.
Although they do not possess reverse psychic abilities, finding the location of the Watergate using energy is not a problem—provided that the Watergate is still alive.
I know this request sounds absurd, but I'd still like to ask you to give it a try.
Jiraiya made a serious request.
Yin sighed and said:
"There's really nothing I can do about you."
Yin clapped his hands together!
His entire body then transformed into a giant painting.
The remaining Minato chakra above began to fluctuate violently.
"it turns out...!?"
His eyes were closed, and beads of sweat were forming on his forehead.
Yin said in shock:
"That's outrageous!"
Jiraiya asked eagerly:
"How about Yin?"
Yin relaxed his arms and returned them to their original position, his face full of doubt.
"I did indeed sense Minato's chakra while he was alive."
"But this shouldn't be the case, and based on this reaction, it can only prove that the subject is a living person..."
"Has some major discovery given you this idea, Jiraiya?"
Jiraiya then concluded that the person was Minato Namikaze himself.
However, he was very puzzled as to why he would not meet with him.
And they were even more puzzled as to how he had reappeared in this world.
Jiraiya's tone was full of doubt:
"I discovered that someone not only looks like Minato Namikaze but is also proficient in the technique of teleportation. I suspect that this person might actually be Minato Namikaze."
"But he didn't directly address my guess, so I'd like to ask you for confirmation."
Yin responded in confusion:
“That’s right, I did sense a chakra fluctuation similar to that of a living person.”
"But restoring someone's life is a very difficult thing."
"In particular, Minato Namikaze used the Reaper Death Seal Technique, and based on common sense, resurrection is theoretically impossible."
This technique is a unique skill of the Uzumaki family.
The first person that flashed through Jiraiya's mind was Nagato.
Although they both belong to the Whirlpool bloodline.
However, his status as a war orphan who lost his home at a young age ruled out this possibility.
In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly and say:
"Alright, we still need to find more clues..."
Yin agreed, "Okay, remember to contact me anytime to share your progress."
Then Tora returned to Jiraiya's mouth.
When he came out of the laboratory, he ran into Orochimaru, who was on his way back, with an attendant named Anko.
"It just so happens that I've run into you, Orochimaru."
The moment Jiraiya saw Orochimaru, his eyes lit up and he said:
"Who exactly is your Number One?"
Orochimaru gave a slight smile, then shook his head and said:
Why should I tell my subordinates?
Hearing this, Jiraiya was momentarily speechless, but still persisted in asking:
Is that person really the one you're thinking of?
Orochimaru said half-jokingly:
"I don't know who you're talking about, and besides, Number One is no longer around."
If you want to uncover the mystery, go find the answer yourself.
"As the acting Fifth Hokage, I am very busy with work."
