Konoha starts from the root

Although the two parties who agreed on the transaction this time were Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru, it was Shiroha and Orochimaru who actually conducted the transaction.

And the content of the transaction was not as agreed, exchanging meteorites for Orochimaru's latest research results on the Sharingan.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the new deal goes smoothly, a tentative battle is certainly inevitable.

Only when both parties have equal status can it be called a transaction, otherwise it can only be exploitation.

······

Time passed quickly, and when Bai Ye arrived at the agreed meeting place, the sun was already hanging above his head.

In order to occupy a favorable terrain, Bai Ye's meeting place was also carefully considered.

It can be seen that there is a rushing river next to him, and the surrounding air is also very humid due to this effect.

Such an environment is even more powerful for his Ice Escape.

And Orochimaru did not raise any objection out of his confidence in his own strength.

Just as he was observing his surroundings, a cold breath suddenly came from not far away.

"Are you here?"

Bai Ye murmured, then turned and looked into the forest.

"Swish."

With a slight friction sound, several dark green venomous snakes crawled out of the forest and stopped about five meters away from the white leaves. Then they raised their heads and opened their mouths, spitting "hiss" Bright red snake letter.

Bai Ye looked at these venomous snakes as thick as arms with his peripheral vision, without any reaction.

A few breaths later, a figure wearing a gray-white coat and a purple belt walked out of the dense forest.

Bai Ye looked closely and saw that this person had long black hair, golden vertical pupils, purple eye shadow extending to the nose, pale skin, and a pair of blue magatama-shaped earrings.

Overall, both the dress and temperament give people a cold feeling.

Just as Bai Ye was sizing up the person, the other person was also sizing him up.

After a moment, Baiye spoke first: "Orochimaru."

Yes, the person who came was none other than the Orochimaru he was waiting for.

"Haha~" Orochimaru chuckled a few times and said with interest: "I didn't expect that it was you who came, Baiye."

Obviously, he recognized Bai Ye.

To be precise, this is the third time the two have met.

The first two times were when Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru traded Sharingan arms.

As for him being able to hand over Bai Ye's name, it was entirely because of Experimental Subject No. 28.

After all, reading memories has no difficulty at all for Orochimaru.

"Your experiment is very interesting." Orochimaru said again.

Bai Ye was not anxious when he heard this, and just replied lightly: "Not as good as you."

"Hahaha......"

Orochimaru was startled when he heard this, and then laughed.

After laughing for a while, he suddenly said: "If I remember correctly, you shouldn't be the one here today, right?"

Indeed, Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru agreed to meet in person.

Bai Ye didn't explain anything, just said calmly: "Does it matter who you trade with?"

As soon as these words came out, Orochimaru immediately looked at Baiye seriously.

Through the holes in the mask, he saw Bai Ye's eyes. There was neither anxiety nor panic, nor fear nor excitement, but a calmness like a pool of stagnant water.

After a long time, Orochimaru uttered two words: "Interesting."

At this time, he had vaguely realized that the relationship between Bai Ye and Shimura Danzo was not as simple as he imagined.

After a slight pause, he continued: "You're right, it doesn't matter who you trade with, so... what about the things?"

Hearing this, Bai Ye said calmly: "I think the content of the transaction needs to be changed."

"Oh~"

Orochimaru made a sound of unknown meaning.

Bai Ye didn't pay attention and just continued: "I won't give you the meteorite, but I can provide you with the experimental body you need."

"Haha~" Orochimaru chuckled again, unconsciously sticking out his tongue and licking his lips, and said, "What do you want from me again?"

Bai Ye didn't hide anything and answered directly: "Research information on the soul and spirit."

"is it?"

Orochimaru's voice was very long. As he spoke, he suddenly raised his right hand and said, "Then let me see if you are qualified?"

In the blink of an eye, dozens of thin snakes opened their mouths and emerged from Orochimaru's sleeves, running straight towards Shiroye.

Immediately, there was a sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh and blood, and at some point, Bai Ye had already pulled out the Kodachi sword from his back.

One after another, the poisonous snakes died under his blade. In just a breath, all the poisonous snakes were beheaded by Bai Ye.

Then, the two looked at each other.

The next moment, Orochimaru's neck suddenly lengthened, and at the same time the little snake in his mouth spit out a long sword.

Seeing the sword heading straight towards him, Bai Ye immediately swung his sword to block it.

Immediately, a crisp tinkling sound sounded.

After a few breaths, Orochimaru retracted his neck and at the same time swallowed the sword with a swallow.

Looking at Bai Ye again, several fine cracks appeared on the blade of the Kodachi in his hand.

Obviously, in terms of ninja tools, his Kodachi was at a disadvantage.

However, this is not incomprehensible.

Although his Kodachi is no longer the standard type of ninja, but is remade with metal with excellent chakra conductivity, it is still not as good as Orochimaru's Kusanagi Sword.

Seeing this, Bai Ye put away the Kodachi directly.

However, before he could fight back, suddenly countless venomous snakes of different sizes and colors came in like a tide.

It turns out that Orochimaru stopped just now because the new ninjutsu was ready.

Seeing this, Baiye quickly formed seals with his hands, and finally used the B-level ninjutsu, Fire Release: Dragon Fire Jutsu, before the tide of snakes came.

Bai Ye took a deep breath, gathered the fire escape chakra in his mouth, and then spit out a huge fire dragon.

As the fire dragon and the snake tide met, crackling and popping sounds continued to sound, followed by an extremely unpleasant burning smell.

Bai Ye's mind raced and he quickly thought about the next countermeasures.

There is no doubt that pure physical attacks have no effect on Orochimaru, who possesses the Orochimaru Substitution Technique.

Of course, according to the memory of the previous life, the most effective way to deal with Orochimaru should be genjutsu.

However, Baiye seriously doubted whether his level of genjutsu could affect Orochimaru.

In addition, although Orochimaru was instantly killed by Uchiha Itachi's illusion, Baiye felt that he was more like hiding himself.

After all, when Sasuke's chakra was exhausted, he dared to come out in front of Uchiha Itachi in such a weak state. It was obvious that he was not too afraid of Uchiha Itachi.

The reason is that the S-level forbidden art, the Yamata no Jutsu, gave him the confidence. This art is one of Orochimaru's strongest ninjutsu and the embodiment of his long-lasting obsession.

I am afraid that only the strongest illusions like other gods, which can change the target's will, can distort his thoughts. General illusions will most likely not be able to affect him.

If not, Orochimaru only needs to continue hiding in Sasuke's body and wait quietly for Itachi Uchiha to die.

I believe that with his eyesight, he could definitely tell that Uchiha Itachi was already dying at that time.

As for why he had to come out at that critical point, it was probably because he was a strong man!

Similarly, in front of Orochimaru who had used the Yami no Jutsu, even though the opponent was very weak, Uchiha Itachi still did not use illusions. Instead, he used his last strength to seal him with the hidden spiritual weapon Juken Sword.

Uchiha Itachi did this for two reasons. The first was to completely remove the curse mark from Sasuke, and the second was probably to realize that the illusion had little effect on Orochimaru at this time.
