Chapter 104: Reaping the Spoils

Terumi Mei excitedly rushed toward Ishihara.

Ishihara hastily raised a hand to block her, pointing at Yagura as he said:

"His genjutsu has already been dispelled. Handle the rest yourself!"

With his own deterrent presence there, Yagura wouldn't dare do anything to Terumi Mei.

Moreover, Yagura's prestige in Kirigakure had long since plummeted to freezing point.

If it weren't for the concern over Obito's existence before, Terumi Mei and the others could have overthrown Yagura's position as Mizukage long ago.

Now that Obito had fled, Terumi Mei and the others no longer needed to worry.

"Yagura!"

Terumi Mei's attention was immediately diverted by the shout, glaring at Yagura with a face full of resentment.

"Terumi Mei!"

Yagura also stared back at her, somewhat annoyed.

He had drained Kirigakure's entire family fortune yet failed to raise the village's strength—this made him grind his teeth in hatred.

Ishihara didn't want to get dragged into Kirigakure's troublesome affairs and walked straight outside.

Small, gift, group, seven, six, three, four, eight, zero, one, five, seven

Orochimaru followed beside him and couldn't help asking: "How about the enemy?"

"He got away. The opponent also mastered space-time ninjutsu!"

Ishihara said with some regret.

"I see. Looks like killing him will have to wait until next time!"

Orochimaru licked the corner of his lips and said coldly.

"For the next period of time, I'm preparing to raise my strength."

A cold glint flashed through Ishihara's eyes.

If his raw combat power had been strong enough, he absolutely wouldn't have let Obito escape this time.

Orochimaru nodded upon hearing this.

He too felt the urgency, but immediately followed up with some annoyance:

"Our base has already been destroyed. I'm afraid we'll have to find a new place for training and research."

"And a large amount of research data and experimental equipment was also buried underground."

The more Orochimaru spoke, the angrier he got.

Although the Kirigakure base had been temporarily set up, its internal configuration was the highest among all the bases.

What a pity it was destroyed just like that.

Just at this moment.

Yagura, who was nearby, suddenly walked over. "If you don't mind, I can find a place for you."

Orochimaru showed a look of surprise.

Yagura was an iron-blooded ruler—otherwise he wouldn't have rolled out the Bloody Mist policy the moment he took power.

For such a person to be willing to let two unfamiliar strongmen stay within the Land of Water's borders was simply too strange.

"I have a deal with him."

Ishihara explained briefly, then looked at Yagura and said: "Then thank you very much, Mizukage-sama."

He didn't want to waste time on finding a base. Having one ready-made was of course best.
