Chapter 136 Bamboo Cat: This Is Perfect for Minister Uehara

Chapter 136 Taketori Neko: This is perfect for Minister Uehara!

"Corpse Bone Vein, Karamatsu Dance!"

The bamboo cat jumped over the poisonous snake and came to Orochimaru.

The knife fell.

Orochimaru drew out his Kusanagi sword and blocked it.

However, when the two collided, Orochimaru's expression suddenly changed.

"This is wrong!"

"Isn't it because of the interval that the strength increases?"

Orochimaru had just observed the dragon bone's ability.

However, Bamboo Cat's use of the keel is not limited to this method.

The ability of the keel is to absorb the force of the last collision and superimpose it when used again.

When I first faced Zhutuoyan, I had already thought of the second way to use it.

That is, the force of the first collision is absorbed, but the force is not released during the second collision, but is retained until the third time, allowing the enemy to make wrong judgments.

Furthermore, hurt the enemy.

Now, Bamboo Cat is using the third method of use.

That is, it collides with the keel.

Then, there is no need to collide with the enemy.

You can directly double your strength.

Orochimaru's unexpected strength fell, which caused the Kusanagi sword in Orochimaru's hand to be released directly.

Bamboo takes the cat one step forward.

A white bone has penetrated into Orochimaru's body.

"Replacement Technique!"

A column of white smoke exploded.

Orochimaru's figure appeared in another position, and the part struck by the Bamboo Cat turned into a wooden stake. However, Orochimaru was not uninjured.

A blood hole appeared on his body, and blood was flowing gurglingly.

"Taketori Neko!"

Orochimaru took a deep look at Taketori Neko, turned around, and left without looking back.

Taketori chased the cat for two steps, then stopped when he realized that he couldn't catch up.

Return to the previous location and pick up the Kusanagi sword that Orochimaru dropped on the ground.

"This ninja sword seems to have no other abilities besides being sharp and hard."

"It's much worse than Chief Uehara's Zanpakutō."

"But, maybe it can be used as raw material for Minister Uehara to make Zanpakutō."

Orochimaru left.

After a long time, he turned back and took a look.

"Bamboo Cat..."

"As soon as we met, he immediately attacked me, and even when I put forward such conditions, he still didn't stop."

"What's going on with this guy?"

If Taketori Neko could say a few more words, Orochimaru would be better judged.

However, the current situation made Orochimaru unable to judge.

If Taketori Neko is still a loyal ninja of Kirigakure Village, why not take this opportunity to try to obtain some information about Konoha from himself?

But if Taketori Neko was a genuine rebellious ninja, why did he kill him so cruelly?

A rebellious nin from Kirigakure Village has so much hatred for him?

Is there any reason why I have to kill myself?

Orochimaru couldn't figure it out.

"Just a lunatic."

Orochimaru frowned.

"It seems that if you want to get information about the Zanpakutō from Taketori Neko, you have to defeat Taketori Neko and obtain information through the means of the ninjas of the Yamazaka clan."

"But the Taketori Neko is extremely powerful."

"Dragon bone, plus the blood inheritance limit of corpse bone veins."

"Whether it's defense or attack, Taketori Neko has almost no weaknesses."

"An extremely versatile taijutsu ninja."

"It's very difficult to capture."

"Like a grumpy hedgehog."

"If we really fight to the end, even if there are no Ten Thousand Snakes, I may not be the opponent of this Taketori Neko."

"But there must be a big price to pay."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I need more people."

Orochimaru didn't want to wait until next time. As a senior ninja, Orochimaru knew very well that changes would occur later.

Once too much time passes, chances are, things will change.

For example, Bamboo Cat has more helpers.

Or maybe the Taketori Neko was completely hidden and could not be found.

This is what Orochimaru needs to worry about.

Therefore Orochimaru wants to defeat the Bamboo Cat as soon as possible.

Orochimaru came to a small shop.

"Lord Orochimaru!"

When Orochimaru walked in, the owner of the small shop inside immediately came to greet him.

On the surface, this is a small shop operator, but in fact, he is a Konoha ninja.

"Gather all the ninjas that can be summoned nearby. How many can be summoned in half a day?"

"long time?"

The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "Lord Orochimaru, I'm afraid I can only gather four or five people in half a day."

Orochimaru frowned.

"What about that day?"

“We can gather a dozen people a day.”

"Then just one day, go now and let them come over as soon as possible."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

It’s time to leave in middle age.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, came to a dark corner to treat his injuries.

As a "scientist", Orochimaru also dabbled in medical ninjutsu.

Not as proficient as Tsunade.

It's like Osamu Uehara using human body modification techniques for treatment.

But what Orochimaru didn't know was that not long after he escaped from Taketori Neko, a figure came to Taketori Neko at an extremely fast speed, dressed in black and wearing a mask.

"Taketori Neko, I am here on the orders of Master Yuanshi."

"Master Yuanshi?"

"Yes."

"Is there anything Master Yuanshi need?"

Taketori Neko's eyes flickered.

The Anbu Ninja said: "Master Yuanshi ordered you to approach Konoha Ninjas, obtain Konoha intelligence, and find the top ninjas hidden in Konoha."

"The top ninjas hidden in Konoha?"

Taketori Neko frowned.

"Who else is Konoha's top ninja besides Sarutobi Hiruzen, Namikaze Minato, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru?"

The Anbu Ninja shook his head.

"It is precisely because we don't know that we need you, Taketori Cat, to investigate. Master Yuanshi said that the disappearance of the Third Mizukage is related to the Konoha Ninja and was done by the Konoha Ninja."

"The information we have obtained so far is that one person has both Wood Release and Sharingan, another has Chakra absorption and Ninjutsu absorption techniques, the third is good at using detonating tags, and the fourth uses gravity and repulsion as the main means of attack."

"The strength of these four people is extremely strong, above the elite jonin."

Taketori Cat was stunned.

The news told by the Anbu Ninja was too much and too big.

So much so that Taketori Cat could not digest it for a while.

The Anbu ninja continued, "Master Yuanshi said that this concerns the survival of the Hidden Mist Village. Konoha has hidden too much strength, and there must be a big conspiracy. We must obtain relevant information from Konoha."

"Otherwise, the Hidden Mist Village will be in great crisis."

"As for the Taketori clan, Master Yuanshi told Taketori Cat not to worry. As long as he is here, there will be absolutely no problem."

The Taketori Cat was silent for a while.

He raised his head.

"Is this the situation behind the disappearance of Mizukage-sama?"

"If so, I am afraid I just missed an opportunity not long ago."

The Anbu ninja was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"What opportunity?"

"Not long ago, Orochimaru, one of Konoha's three ninjas, came to me, but I ignored him and chased him away."

Anbu ninja: "..."

"Okay, I got it. You can reply to the elder master and tell him that I will try my best to get it."

"Okay."

"By the way, take this back to Minister Uehara."

As he said that, the Bamboo Cat handed over the Kusanagi sword.

The Anbu ninja took it.

Then, he flashed and left.

After leaving the scope of the Land of Hot Water.

The Anbu ninja took off his mask.

Exposing a delicate face.

About fifteen or sixteen years old.

A female ninja.

Long orange hair.

"The Bamboo Cat's strength has grown to the point where it can even chase Orochimaru away?"

"This is different from what the master master told me."

Mei Terumi looked in the direction of the Land of Water.

"Could it be because of the ninja swords?"

"Zanpakuto..."

"What a powerful guy."

"Minister Uehara should be about the same age as me."

"It's incredible that he can create so many powerful ninja swords."

"How did he do it?"

Mei Terumi has great confidence in herself.

She was born with double blood limit, melting escape and boiling escape.

Not only in the Hidden Mist Village, it is extremely rare.

It is also extremely rare in the entire ninja world.

Moreover, Mei Terumi has received elite teaching since she was a child.

The situation is different from other young ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village.

If you say that Hoshigaki Kisame is a genius who stands out from ordinary young ninjas.

Then, Mei Terumi has been in the position of a genius from the beginning.

Mei Terumi recognizes Kisame Hoshigaki's talent and strength.

However, Mei Terumi does not think that Kisame Hoshigaki can compare with herself.

She is the first.

As far as the history of the entire Kirigakure is concerned, Mei Terumi has this confidence. As long as she grows up, she will definitely be one of the most powerful ninjas in the history of Kirigakure.

Mei Terumi looks down on everyone of her age.

However, the appearance of Uehara Osamu made Mei Terumi lose this confidence.

A Kiri Ichimonji allowed Hoshigaki Kisame to overpower Hatake Kakashi.

A Blue Rose Sword gave Biwa Juzo the strength to compete with Ye Cang.

A Water Dragon Possession even cut off half of the tail of the Ten Thousand Snakes.

There is also the dragon bone in the hands of the Taketori Cat.

The master did not tell Mei Terumi about the Skull Emperor in the hands of the Third Mizukage.

Otherwise, Mei Terumi would be even more shocked.

The ninja tool that can allow the souls of the dead to reside can also burst out with very powerful power.

What kind of ninja tool is this?

Mei Terumi developed a strong interest in Uehara Osamu.

"I wonder what kind of person Minister Uehara is."

Then, Mei Terumi thought of the situation of Kirigakure and Konoha.

"Konoha..."

"It's so hidden."

"I have to admit that Kirigakure is no match for Konoha given the current situation."

"My bloodline limit will definitely grow to a very strong level in the future."

"But it's not enough."

"If I can get a Zanpakutō, how strong will my strength be?"

...

...

After a day of preparation, Orochimaru gathered more than a dozen Konoha ninjas.

Not elite.

However, being able to come to a place like the Land of Hot Springs where the ninja forces are complex to perform tasks also requires certain abilities.

Orochimaru's requirements for them are not high.

It is enough to be able to contain the Taketori Cat.

"Let's go!"

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

However, just when Orochimaru found the Taketori Cat again.

The Taketori Cat saw Orochimaru appearing again.

"Orochimaru, your strength has been barely recognized by me. Now, you are qualified to talk to me. I didn't hear what you wanted to say before. Please say it again."

Orochimaru: "???"

Orochimaru, who thought he would usher in a fierce battle, did not expect the situation to change so quickly.

The Taketori Cat did not intend to attack him.

Listening to the Taketori Cat's words, it turned out that it was willing to talk to him now.

However, the Taketori Cat's attitude made Orochimaru very unhappy.

So high and mighty.

Too pretentious.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly and cursed in his heart.

"If you want to fight, then fight?"

"If you don't want to fight, then don't fight?"

"Who do you think you are?"

"Why?"

"I am one of the three ninjas."

"And you are just a rebel ninja from Kirigakure."

"What do you want to do by being so arrogant?"

However, since he could have a conversation first, Orochimaru couldn't let go of this opportunity.

Once the battle started, Orochimaru was not 100% sure that he could take down the Taketori Cat. The Taketori Cat might have a chance to escape. In addition, even if he was killed by himself and others, there was a possibility that his brain would be damaged during the battle.

In that case, the people of the Yamanaka clan would not be able to obtain information from the Taketori Cat's brain.

Orochimaru likes to pursue 100% certainty and doesn't like to take too many risks.

"Taketori Cat, let's cooperate."

Taketori Cat raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Orochimaru to really endure it.

This made the Taketori Cat pay more attention to Orochimaru.

"What's the reason?"

"There are only two possibilities about your identity. One is that you are indeed the traitor who almost wiped out the Taketori clan. The second is that you are not the real murderer, but you just bear the guilt."

Orochimaru said: "For the former, you should cooperate with me."

"Facing an enemy like the Hidden Mist Village, only our Konoha can protect you."

"And for the latter, you should cooperate with me even more."

"A ninja village that makes you bear such a big guilt but is not responsible for you at all has actually betrayed you. You don't have to be loyal to a ninja village that betrays you."

"Cooperate with me, I can let you join Konoha, and I can let you live a normal ninja life."

The Taketori cat sneered.

"It sounds like it makes some sense, but it's not enough. The conditions you provide can be provided by the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Rock Village, and their two ninja villages are stronger than your Konoha."

Orochimaru frowned.

This sentence, the Taketori cat said is not true.

Konoha at this time still has strong strength.

Konoha still has the advantage in terms of the number of top ninjas.

It's just that as the war progresses, Konoha is a little behind in terms of mid-level ninjas.

Therefore, many people believe that Konoha's overall strength has declined a lot.

Orochimaru found it irritating.

"But."

Suddenly, the Bamboo Cutter Cat changed the subject.

"You Konoha do have what I want."
