"Other whirlpool bloodlines in the ninja world?"
When Orochimaru heard the genie say this, he immediately became interested.
His previous self-pity wasn't just to trick the genie into providing more help.
He really did want to complete the sage body and explore the path of 'body strength feeding back the soul'.
And in this, the whirlpool clan's bloodline was essential, and the deeper the development, the better.
But as early as the Second Ninja World War, the Whirlpool Country fell in one battle.
The whirlpool clan, a great ninja clan whose strength was comparable to the Thousand Hands and Uchiha clans, disappeared directly into history like those ninja clans of the Warring States period.
The speed was so fast that it was almost overnight, and even Konoha didn't have time to react. The attackers were just many 'unknown' ninjas.
Many people were shocked by this, and many small ninja villages were in danger.
Many conspiracy theories arose in the ninja world, and some even suspected that Konoha was afraid of this distant relative of the Thousand Hands clan, and didn't provide real help when they asked for it, and even secretly pushed for the destruction of the Whirlpool Country.
The biggest mastermind behind the scenes in the ninja world – Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was so scary.
But in Orochimaru's view, this was pure nonsense.
You should know that when the whirlpool clan was destroyed, that scary woman – Whirlpool Mito was still alive.
As the woman of the 'God of Ninja', she wasn't just beautiful, her strength and sealing techniques were extremely strong.
What's more, she was still the Nine Tails' Jinchuriki at the time. Based on this alone, no one in the village dared to attack the whirlpool clan, whether openly or secretly.
As for who exactly did it, Orochimaru himself couldn't say for sure.
He only knew that after the whirlpool clan was destroyed, Iwagakure Village, Kumogakure, Kirigakure... even small ninja villages like Takigakure Village had sealing techniques to control the tailed beasts, and they all introduced their own Jinchuriki.
Before this, apart from Konoha and the Sunagakure Village with its heritage, the tailed beast was just a big bomb that would cause everyone to die together.
The whirlpool clan was destroyed because 'owning a treasure is a crime'.
After that, the theory that Konoha was guilty became more and more popular. Few of the surviving whirlpool clan members accepted Konoha's protection, and instead fled to other countries.
Orochimaru didn't believe that some ninja villages weren't manipulating public opinion from behind the scenes.
But in any case, without a large population base, the strong members of the whirlpool clan lost the soil for growth. But according to the genie, there were still strong members of the whirlpool clan in the ninja world who could be used by him?
"Nagato, the user of the Sharingan, I remember I told you about him before."
The genie smiled, "But you are not his match yet, as for the others..."
"Iwagakure Village Roshi, with red hair, and also a Jinchuriki himself. He is suspected to have the whirlpool clan bloodline."
"The wife of the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure Village also has the whirlpool bloodline. Although she is dead, she seems to have a younger brother."
"In the Grass Country, there is a mother and daughter, suspected of activating the sage body, with strong vitality and extremely strong healing abilities."
"..."
"In short, there are many people, you can try as you like."
The genie said a long list in a row, with a clear teasing look in his eyes.
Orochimaru ignored the other party's ridicule, because what the genie said was indeed very useful.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to focus on Iwagakure Village Roshi and the mother and daughter in the Grass Country.
The former is the Four Tails Jinchuriki, the strongest, while the latter is the easiest to get.
He didn't care about a small Kusagakure at all, and besides, he might not need to attack head-on.
After making a decision in his mind, Orochimaru continued the experiment. This time, he replaced First Hokage cells with Yamato cells.
The effect wasn't very ideal. The two sides didn't erode each other, nor did they promote the fusion of chakra. Instead, they grew together like ordinary cells and then produced a rejection reaction.
Bang!
Suddenly, a puff of white smoke rose in the corner of the lab. Soon, a gray-backed viper swam to Orochimaru and respectfully spat out a letter.
Orochimaru opened the letter, which only had a short line on it. He smiled after reading it, "Come quickly? Jiraiya, that guy, is quite efficient."
...
Hokage's office, the atmosphere was slightly heavy.
When Orochimaru stepped into the door, the Third Hokage was silently smoking his pipe, and Jiraiya was pacing back and forth in the room, looking extremely restless.
This situation… seemed a little wrong. Were the two's reactions a bit too much?
Orochimaru was puzzled, but he didn't stop his steps and walked directly to the Hokage's desk.
When Jiraiya saw him come in, his expression relaxed slightly. The Third Hokage put down his pipe and said directly:
"Tsunade is currently in the Land of Iron, you should go and meet her as soon as possible. The faster, the better. There are already two Anbu squads in front of the building..."
"Wait!"
Orochimaru interrupted the Third Hokage's endless talk, frowning slightly, "Land of Iron? Two Anbu squads? I don't want to bring burdens. I can do this thing finding Tsunade alone."
"Orochimaru, things are not as you think."
Before the Third Hokage could speak, Jiraiya interrupted from the side, anxiously saying, "Iwagakure Village, Land of Thunder, they are really targeting Tsunade."
Orochimaru was slightly surprised when he heard this, and his gaze turned from Jiraiya to the Third Hokage, "Old man, is what Jiraiya saying true?"
"That's right."
Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the pipe in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "The village has been watching Tsunade's whereabouts. Yesterday, news came that Tsunade disappeared after fighting with unknown ninjas in the Land of Sound."
"Her whereabouts were only confirmed today. I was about to send an Anbu squad to meet her, but since you want to make a trip, then handing this matter over to you is the safest."
Hearing this news, Orochimaru couldn't help but frown.
Tsunade has been through life and death and has experienced countless wars, so she won't die so easily. He's not worried about Tsunade's safety.
It's just that with these two Anbu squads, it would be a little difficult to carry out his small plans. Returning to the village would mean there would be no chance at all.
He still wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to leave the village to attack the Four Tails Jinchuriki Roshi of Iwagakure Village, or to bring back the mother and daughter in the Grass Country.
After thinking for a moment, Orochimaru asked, "Who made the move for Iwagakure Village and Kumogakure respectively? They should be confronting each other?"
"The person who made a move for Kumogakure, you might not be unfamiliar with, is the Eight Tails Jinchuriki Killer B you encountered before."
Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, "But the people who made a move for Iwagakure Village are not their own ninjas this time, but hired bounty hunters from the black market, and their strength is not weak at all."
It's not Iwagakure Village Roshi, Orochimaru was a little disappointed, "Alright, then let me make a trip this time."
After speaking, Orochimaru turned around and left the Hokage's office directly.
In front of the Hokage Building, two Anbu squads had been waiting for a long time, with many familiar faces inside.
Orochimaru glanced over Kakashi, Shisui, Hyuga Hizashi… and said, "Let's go."
"Yes!"
