Kabuto, please entertain our two distinguished guests well."
"Yes!"
Kabuto was also very curious about the Black Organization.
After all, this organization was a terrifying existence that had made Orochimaru so miserable!
...
As Orochimaru walked inside, he kept thinking.
"What a pity.
If I had known that the Black Organization people were interested in Guren.
I would have endured it for a while and waited for Guren to arrive here before using the Impure World Reincarnation."
Orochimaru felt a bit regretful.
He was too severely injured this time.
Therefore, he had to use Impure World Reincarnation in time to alleviate his injuries.
So.
He summoned Guren to this stronghold.
He was preparing to use Guren as the first backup vessel to complete the Impure World Reincarnation.
However.
Guren was too slow.
The longer he waited, the weaker Orochimaru felt.
Finally, he couldn't wait any longer.
So, he selected a decent person from the experimental subjects and performed the Impure World Reincarnation.
Because there is a time interval for using Impure World Reincarnation.
Therefore.
Even if he wanted to use Impure World Reincarnation at this moment, he couldn't.
"Let her be a spy instead.
Anyway, she is very loyal to me."
Orochimaru was very confident in Guren.
After all, this Guren was someone who voluntarily became his vessel.
She had a considerably high degree of loyalty.
This kind of loyal subordinate is different from a subordinate controlled by Ninjutsu.
He was not worried about Guren betraying him.
And in fact.
That was indeed the case.
After hearing Orochimaru's arrangement, Guren agreed without hesitation.
"Lord Orochimaru!
I will definitely complete the mission outstandingly!"
Looking at the determined Guren, Orochimaru nodded slightly.
Then he led Guren to Rin and Ringo Yurui.
"Although I am very dissatisfied with your organization.
However, I think there is still a possibility of cooperation between us."
Orochimaru pointed at Guren, "I'll give this person to you.
Consider it my sincerity.
I wonder.
Can we cooperate?"
"The Holy Lord has not instructed."
Ringo Yurui shook her head, "If the Holy Lord wanted to cooperate with you.
Then he would have cooperated with you long ago.
Since he hasn't cooperated with you yet.
That means.
The Holy Lord will not cooperate with you."
"You can report it~"
Orochimaru said persistently.
"I am an excellent scientist~"
"The Holy Lord knows everything."
Ringo Yurui shook her head, "No need to report."
"Let's go."
Rin silently glanced at Guren.
Then she turned and left.
Watching the three figures gradually departing.
Orochimaru couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his lips.
"I will get information about you sooner or later."
Orochimaru was quite confident in his loyal subordinates.
...
Ringo Yurui and Rin quickly rushed to the Land of Fire stronghold with Guren.
At the same time.
After they entered the Land of Fire's territory.
They began to consciously search for extremely evil people.
Unexpectedly, they actually found such a person.
That was a merchant named Ito Hiroshi.
He not only sold prohibited items everywhere, but also harbored gangs, bullied men and women, and committed all kinds of evil deeds.
So.
They directly knocked him out and brought him along to the stronghold.
...
"We're here~"
Before long, the three women and one captive arrived at the stronghold.
"Is this the organization's headquarters?"
Looking at the dark, ordinary cave, Guren asked with some doubt.
She felt that if the very powerful Black Organization really chose such a place as its headquarters, it would be a very low-class thing.
"How could that be?"
Ringo Yurui glared at Guren.
Then she continued to stride inside.
"This is just a stronghold where a teleportation array is located.
Later, you can just take that man to see the Holy Lord yourself.
We have other missions."
Saying that.
Ringo Yurui and Rin led Guren into the cave.
Lo and behold.
The originally ordinary cave, after Rin performed a Ninjutsu.
Suddenly changed its appearance.
From a dark cave, it transformed into a mountain hall embedded with luminous pearls.
In the center of this hall was a magic array shimmering with a faint blue light.
At the edge of the hall, there were a few sofas and a bar counter.
Although simple, it was full of mystery.
"Stand in the center of the teleportation array; we are about to cast the jutsu."
Rin said lightly.
Then she and Ringo Yurui stood on opposite sides of the magic array.
"Okay!"
Guren nodded, then carried the man and came to the center of the magic array.
Rin and Ringo Yurui quickly formed hand signs, and then the magic array suddenly lit up.
The next moment.
Guren felt her vision blur.
Then she arrived in a relatively empty room.
And in front of her stood a handsome young man with an expressionless face, who looked to be only about 12 years old.
"Welcome to Elf Pavilion.
You can call me, Holy Lord."
"Elf Pavilion!?
The Black Organization's name is actually this!?
Also, the Holy Lord is so young?!"
Guren felt as if she had suddenly grasped a lot of unknowns that others didn't know at all.
"If I tell Lord Orochimaru these things, he will definitely be very happy!"
Just as Guren was thinking this.
She saw the "Holy Lord" opposite suddenly speak: "If you want to tell these things to Orochimaru.
You will die immediately.
Of course, if you think it's worth it to give up your life for an ant like Orochimaru.
I have nothing to say."
Chapter 50: Guren: I am willing to offer everything to the Holy Lord! Hinata's Request [Second update for fresh flowers and collection]
"Give up my life for an ant like Orochimaru!?"
Guren was stunned when she heard this.
She felt that this statement was too grand.
In her heart, Lord Orochimaru was the most powerful existence.
And she was attracted by Orochimaru's powerful strength, which is why she willingly became his subordinate.
But.
How could such a powerful Lord Orochimaru be called an ant by the Holy Lord?
"Hmph!
Although you severely wounded Lord Orochimaru, your strength is clearly greater than his.
But!
You're not that much stronger!"
Honglian silently retorted in her heart.
Bai Hao didn't care what Honglian thought at all.
As long as she signed the contract, he could control her life and death.
If she didn't obey, he could simply erase her.
And then revive her a month later.
Repeat this cycle a few times, and she wouldn't dare to disobey.
"Place your hand on mine.
This signifies your willingness to join the organization and sign a contract with me.
With this contract, I can freely control your life and death."
Saying this, Bai Hao extended his right hand.
Honglian was slightly stunned.
Then she thought of Orochimaru again.
"For Lord Orochimaru!
If I die, then so be it!"
She gritted her teeth and placed her hand directly on Bai Hao's.
"Buzz~"
A mysterious power flashed over their bodies.
A moment later, an "X"-shaped tattoo appeared on the back of Honglian's right hand.
"Choose a plant to be your organization codename."
Bai Hao said, pulling out the Diancie card.
On the Diancie card, the nearby matching character was no longer "None".
Instead, it had become Honglian.
This was consistent with Bai Hao's initial judgment.
Honglian, the Crystal Release Ninja, was indeed a good match for this card.
"Camellia…
Camellia it is!"
Honglian didn't know what she thought of, but she finally chose this codename.
"Alright!"
Bai Hao nodded.
Then he casually flicked the card onto her.
At the same time, he conveniently released a memory that Honglian herself had sealed.
After doing all this.
He left the room with the unconscious Ito Hiro.
"I didn't expect someone with such thick eyebrows and big eyes like you to have such a dark heart~"
Bai Hao looked at Ito Hiro and couldn't help but complain.
This person was the tool he had found to release the Reaper Death Seal.
Because the Soul of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was sealed.
Therefore, he couldn't directly revive him.
He needed to first release the Seal.
And once the Reaper Death Seal was undone, the caster would become a sacrifice.
Hence.
He specifically found such a damned tool.
As for the problem of him not being a Ninja at all…
That was no problem at all.
With a few Chakra-boosting pills that Bai Hao casually gave him.
Ito Hiro, who was before him, officially became a Ninja.
Next.
He just needed to wait for Izumi and Karin to return soon.
Control this person with genjutsu.
And have him perform the jutsu.
…
Honglian quickly regained consciousness.
As soon as she woke up, she felt the changes in herself.
Subsequently.
Her eyes suddenly widened.
"This… this power…"
She instinctively clenched her fists, feeling her body filled with power.
Moreover…
"Clang~"
She looked at the Crystal Release she had just performed, and her eyes lit up completely.
In the past.
Her Crystal Release was just some relatively hard red crystals.
But now…
All the crystals had turned into diamonds!
Looking at the pink diamonds and feeling the "Phantom Beast" within her body.
Honglian swelled with pride.
"Hmph!
Orochimaru?
He's just an ant!
Compared to the Holy Lord, he's nothing!
So the Holy Lord didn't kill Orochimaru mainly because he was too lazy to act~
I even thought Orochimaru was strong before!
How shameful!"
Honglian sighed in her heart for a while, and then developed an extremely fervent loyalty to Bai Hao.
"I am willing to offer everything to the Holy Lord!"
At this moment, her eyes were filled with burning flames.
…
Bai Hao didn't pay attention to Honglian's thoughts.
At this moment.
He met Hinata, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
"I… I…
I've been undergoing special training with my Family recently…"
Hinata was still the same as before.
Before she could even say two sentences, she started blushing and stuttering.
"Why are you telling me this?"
Bai Hao said with a faint smile, deliberately teasing Hinata.
"I… I… I…"
Hinata was a bit bewildered.
Her face was red.
Her two index fingers kept poking and poking.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
She just subconsciously wanted to explain why she hadn't come over for a long time.
She didn't expect…
Bai Hao would ask such a question in return.
"Alright~
I'm just teasing you."
Bai Hao patted Hinata's head.
Then he said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat~
To Ichiraku Ramen we go~"
With Bai Hao touching her head, Hinata's face became even redder.
Fortunately, she had experienced such encounters a few times already.
Otherwise, she would have fainted again at this moment.
"Oh… oh…"
Hinata responded obediently, then silently followed Bai Hao towards Ichiraku Ramen.
Bai Hao had some free time recently.
Sasuke had followed his advice and started training intensely.
Sakura and Ino were helping out at home recently.
Although Orochimaru's Konoha Crush plan failed.
It still caused a lot of damage to Konoha.
Therefore, they were quite busy recently.
Naruto was with Jiraiya, looking for Tsunade.
Kakashi was in the hospital.
Shikamaru would occasionally come over to play shogi with Bai Hao.
The others were nowhere to be seen.
