Chapter 114

"By that time, don't blame my Land of Whirlpools for being heartless..."

Orochimaru's heart tightened. Even after leaving the headquarters, the Soul King's voice still echoed in his ears.

This time, it's likely for real!

At the same time, he also understood that Konoha would absolutely not hand over Uzumaki Kushina!

The Land of Whirlpools and Konoha must have a battle!

After leaving the land of the Land of Whirlpools, Orochimaru felt a sense of loss.

Especially those souls in Rukongai, which made him reveal a desire to study them immediately.

Unfortunately...

In the evening, after Orochimaru returned to Konoha.

The Hokage Office held an emergency high-level meeting again.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a gloomy face: "You mean, the Land of Whirlpools refused?"

Orochimaru nodded.

Shimura Danzo snorted coldly and said: "They actually wanted to use Konoha to exchange for Uzumaki Kushina; what a lion's mouth! I think the Land of Whirlpools has no intention of negotiating at all!"

Damn, he hasn't even obtained Konoha yet, and a mere Land of Whirlpools dares to covet his Konoha?!

Shimura Danzo continued: "Don't hold any illusions about peace talks, Hiruzen!"

"Sigh..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed. He also wanted to be tougher!

But Konoha's current conditions don't allow him to be tough!

He pondered for a moment and asked: "That Soul King, is he really a member of the Uzumaki Clan?"

Orochimaru said: "That bright red hair, and it's the Land of Whirlpools; I think besides the Uzumaki Clan, there shouldn't be a second possibility, right?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was uncertain. Since the Soul King in power is of the Uzumaki Clan, if Lady Mito were to come forward, there might still be some room for maneuver.

Although the relationship between the Land of Whirlpools and Konoha has broken down, as a member of the Uzumaki Clan, they can't not give Lady Mito face, right?

Of course, Konoha must also make preparations for both possibilities.

He said: "Konohamaru, how is the Barrier Department's research on the sealing of space-time ninjutsu?"

Konohamaru Utatane said: "There are some results, but Konoha does not have ninjas who have mastered space-time ninjutsu, so we don't know if the barrier is really useful."

"In short, regardless of whether it's feasible or not, let's set it up for Konoha first."

In case the Land of Whirlpools unreasonably opens a hole in Konoha, it can barely count as a means of restraint.

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a while and continued to ask: "Orochimaru, did you discover anything during this trip to the Land of Whirlpools?"

Since the conflict with the Land of Whirlpools is inevitable, try to understand the situation in the Land of Whirlpools so as to make corresponding strategies.

It's a place I really want to stay in.

This sentence subconsciously surfaced in Orochimaru's heart.

But obviously, this sentence cannot be said out loud.

He recalled carefully and said: "The architecture of the Land of Whirlpools is magnificent, and the population is large."

Although he knew they were all souls, those souls also had obvious productivity, so there was no difference from normal people.

As for the matter of souls, Orochimaru did not say it out loud.

Besides his own selfishness, it was also because such outrageous things would absolutely not be believed if not seen with one's own eyes!

Even he, at first, just listened to it as a story.

In fact, just based on the point that people after death will go to Rukongai in a soul state, Orochimaru understood that the Land of Whirlpools was already in an invincible position.

Once Konoha has a conflict with the Land of Whirlpools, as the war escalates.

People after death go to the Land of Whirlpools one after another; the more they fight, the more people there are.

Conversely, the more Konoha fights, the fewer people there are; how can this be fought?

Of course, Orochimaru didn't know that Rukongai only had a 50% probability of attracting souls.

But even if he knew, it would be outrageous.

This is like a continuous troop production factory!

Able to provide troops to the Land of Whirlpools at any time!

But he didn't tell Teacher Hiruzen about this point.

Even if he told them, regardless of whether they believe it or not, would Konoha and the Land of Whirlpools stop fighting?

Since they are going to fight anyway, telling them this information would only add to their troubles.

Anyway, even if they die, they can live another life in Rukongai. Teacher Hiruzen is not young anymore; if he accidentally dies, he can go to the Land of Whirlpools to rest.

Of course, it is impossible for him to say such things out loud.

Hearing this, it's not guaranteed that Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't clean up the sect.

He had the heart to suggest, why don't we just hand over Uzumaki Kushina.

Work hard, improve the sealing technique obtained from the Land of Whirlpools, and just find someone else to be the Jinchuriki.

But he understood that this proposal could not be accepted by them.

Without seeing it with one's own eyes, it is impossible to know the terror of the Land of Whirlpools!!
