Chapter 85

Title: Cooperation​​

"She is too terrifying, she can now use Chakra Enhanced Strength all over her body!"

In front of the manga shop, Jiraiya was wrapped in gauze and was complaining with a look of horror in his fave remembering what he experienced earlier.

Akabane who was at his side nodded his head in realization hearing Jiraiya.

"How did she find you?"

"How do I know, I was just enjoying myself when suddenly I was punched by her that made me fly. Then I used Earth Style to run from her but she suddenly appeared and cleave the ground apart and it almost killed me!" Jiraiya's body continued trembling when he recalled it.

She doesn't seem to be serious…

Akabane looked thoughtful, if Tsuna really uses her full strength, Jiraiya would be dead now.

"She is too terrifying."

Jiraiya muttered, it seems that this time the shadow is deeper than last time.

"Who told you to go to the bathhouse."

Akabane curled his lips and ask.

"It was you who did it! I wouldn't go to the bathhouse if you didn't set my cute Haku as a man?"

Jiraiya complained angrily.

Akabane raised his brow slightly and thought 'can I also hit him?'

"Jiraiya, you don't have to say it like that."

Kurama Yunlang immediately started to talk and preached to him. After getting along with both of them, he could already observe part of Akabane's expression and can understand what it means.

For example, right now…

"That said, this comic is for you so you can recover fast."

Akabane patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

"Ah…it hurts, damn, you did it on purpose!"

Jiraiya's ribs and arms were injured. So with Akabane patting him, this immediately made him cry in pain.

"Do you think some comics can heal me!"

Jiraiya shook his head in disdain, but although his mouth said it with disdain, his hand on the other hand is being honest which takes the Comic from Akabane.

He currently has one hand to use, but it's enough for him to read the Comics.

"Sharingan again? But he can only use four or five Ninjutsu. I think he might be stronger if he removed his sharingan."

Jiraiya relentlessly complained.

In a sense, Kakashi using ordinary Sharingan is indeed better without using his Sharingan.

Akabane slightly smiled hearing his comments.

It seems that after his training on Mount Myoboku, Jiraiya's strength and vision have improved a lot.

"You're really a fool, I heard that you were beaten to death by Tsunade. But I didn't expect you we're here reading comics instead of getting stronger ."

At this time, an indifferent voice coming from the roof was heard.

And the next second, Orochimaru suddenly appeared in front of the Shop like a ghost.

Huh?

Akabane was slightly surprised, with his spiritual strength being high, he can distinguish subtle differences coming from Orochimaru.

He just hasn't seen him in a few days, but Orochimaru has become clearly stronger, and his temperament has also clearly undergone a dramatic change.

He used to be lonely, but not indifferent.

But now…

His temperament is a bit cold.

'Did he meet the snake and signed a contract?'

Akabane thought in his heart.

"Damn Orochimaru, where have you been during this time, I plan to take my revenge after coming back from training but didn't see you."

Although Jiraiya said that, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was a little worried.

"It's nothing, I just found a place to train and do some research…but you on the other hand really embarrass yourself ."

Orochimaru laughed while looking at Jiraiya, and didn't hold back mocking him.

"Well, he reaps what he has sown, don't worry about him."

Akabane shook his head and said.

"That said, I heard that you vowed to never take a peek at the bathhouse again. It's really a shame."

Orochimaru sneered.

In fact, his original intention was probably to care about Jiraiya's injury, but seeing that Jiraiya was okay, he changed back to his original style.

Jiraiya was so angry that his ear emitted smoke hearing the two, but looking at his bandage body, he knew that he can't do anything to them.

After all, it was indeed him who was beaten by Tsunade.

Ignoring Jiraiya, Orochimaru entered the shop and said "Um…Please bring me one each copy from the third volume to the sixth of the comics. I haven't read it for a long time, but it already has more volume than I expected ."

"Okay."

Kurama Yunlang expertly picked out the few remaining comics from the shelf and collected the three to six volumes.

Receiving it, Orochimaru gives the right amount of money and starts reading it from the third volume, neither slow nor hurried after taking a seat near the two.

"hehehe, Orochimaru, the Land-of-Waves plot is very good, let me tell you, Mist Ninja will appear later…"

Jiraiya said with a smirk on his face clearly thinking of something bad.

Spoiler dog?

Akabane glanced over, planning to stop Jiraiya.

However…

Orochimaru sat there with a look of indifferent expression.

Jiraiya on the other hand kept spoiling Orochimaru about the plot of the story, but Orochimaru didn't react at all, he was just sitting there unperturbed by what Jiraiya was doing, and indulged himself in the plot of the comic.

"En? Orochimaru, did you listen to me?"

Jiraiya couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Orochimaru didn't react as he expected.

Orochimaru didn't react.

"Orochimaru?"

"Orochimaru!"

"Idiot, can't you hear me?"

Jiraiya shouted three times, but Orochimaru still ignored him. He finally determined that Orochimaru had somehow blocked the outside noise in some way.

hateful!

Seeing this Akabane sighed and said with a smile on his face "Jiraiya if you are so bored, why don't I put you on my illusion to experience something good."

Hearing Akabane and seeing his harmless smile made Jiraiya shivered and made him stutter.

" D-don't, don't! Ah! I suddenly remember that I need to change the dressing for my injury so I will go now."

Jiraiya immediately fled in fear. He knows that if Akaba cast an Illusion on him, he will experience something more terrible inside it.

After Jiraiya ran away, Orochimaru's mouth raised slightly.

"Sure enough, he is an idiot."

"You sure are also patient enough to be spoiled like that without refuting it."

Akabane said with emotion.

As for blocking the sound, there is nothing like that at all, Orochimaru just pretended not to hear.

"Jiraiya is just like that, making him think that he didn't succeed, is the best counterattack for him."

Orochimaru lightly said with a smile, "Go for a walk?"

Akabane froze for a moment. It seems that Orochimaru came here not only to see Jiraiya but also to find himself deliberately.

He was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Let's go."

The location they stopped in is the periphery of the Forest of Death.

Not many people come here due to its name.

Akabane and Orochimaru slipped to this side, Orochimaru didn't talk on their way to the forest, it seems that they are really just taking a stroll.

However…

Unconsciously, the two have already used Shadow Clone Jutsu.

The main body continues to wander around, wandering elsewhere, while the Shadow Clone transforms and ventures into the forest.

"Talking to smart people is simple, Akabane, do you have something to do with root training?"

Orochimaru's Shadow Clone whispered.

"Root…sure enough, you worked with Danzo."

Akabane also lowered his voice and answered.

"Un."

Orochimaru's clone nodded and fell silent again.

They walked into the forest and seemed to be thinking, but their eyes kept looking around.

After walking for a long time, he took out an item from his arms.

"This is?"

"The scroll of the white snake. The day I returned from the Land-of-Uzumaki, I met the white snake in front of my parents' grave."

Orochimaru said.

"Why tell me this."

Akabane doesn't quite understand. Although he has a good relationship with Orochimaru, it was nothing more than that. 

Not something that they can exchange important information like this.

Orochimaru was silent for a moment and said: "Danzo is a poisonous snake. If you work with him, you must take the risk of getting bitten at any time."

"oh?"

"Although we are weak now and not worthy of being used by him, there will come a day and there will be the possibility of being bitten back. So I want to cooperate with you."

Orochimaru indifferently said.

"so that's how it is."

Although it is Shadow Clone, it is actually not very different from the main body. The communication between the two will be fed back to the true body after they get released.

Akabane closed his eyes and thought, and after a moment he said: "Danzo knows that I modified Death Mirage Jutsu, so I guess you are the one who gave him that info."

"Yeah."

Orochimaru was not surprised, and apologized, "Sorry, I disclosed your information privately. This is my fault."

"Nothing, it's just a small matter."

Akabane shook his head lightly.

"Teacher made a deal with Danzo. One year later, the Teacher will take you, and I will learn from Danzo."

Orochimaru continued.

"Similar to my guess."

"Very well, then I will relay today's information."

Nodding his head, the two of them cancel the clone at the same time.
