Darkness is unavoidable in this process.

"I do not know."

Uzumaki Enoka shook her head slightly.

She didn't know where she was headed.

"If you come to Konoha, Konoha can provide you with shelter."

Kiyoshi said.

"This……"

Uzumaki Enoka hesitated.

"Here's what we'll do. I'll establish a base here to govern this island. When you can no longer stay in Konoha, you can return to this island."

Kiyoshi said.

There are many summoned beasts on the Island of Spirits, so he has no reason to give it up.

Once the Land of the Sea realizes what's happening, it won't say anything to the powerful Land of Fire.

To put it bluntly, it's just a small country that doesn't even have a ninja village.

For such a small country, the best way out is to become a vassal of a larger country.

"Alright."

Hearing Kiyoshi's compromise, Uzumaki Enoka's concerns lessened considerably.

"Kai, you stay here. Someone will come to pick you up in a while."

Kiyoshi turned to Matt Kei.

Might Guy is now able to open the seventh "Surprise" Gate.

As for the final "death" gate, it's still a bit difficult, and the process hasn't been fully resolved.

This strength is enough to protect the Island of Spirits.

"No problem, I will continue to burn with youthful passion here!"

Matt Kai gave a thumbs-up and smiled.

Kiyoshi nodded slightly, intending to stay here for two or three days before leaving.

There are many spirit beasts on the island. If the white snake eats all of these spirit beasts, it will also benefit her.

So Kiyoshi patted the white snake wrapped around her right wrist, waking her from her slumber.

She fell to the ground and transformed into a tall figure that was half human and half snake.

Uzumaki Enoka watched this scene in astonishment.

Can summoned beasts transform into human form?

Kushina also looked on with curiosity. She knew that Kiyoshi's summoned beasts could transform, and she had seen it a few times before.

But this kind of thing is really amazing.

"Go and devour the spirit beasts inside, but be careful not to eat too many."

"hiss……"

The white snake flicked its bright red tongue and licked Qing Si's face, a hint of excitement appearing on its alluring face.

She couldn't wait to become stronger.

The next moment, the white snake dragged its tail and swayed away.

The grass was covered with tracks left by the trampling.

"Hui Nai Guo, tell me about the different kinds of spirit beasts on the island."

Qingsi said.

Researching more summoned beasts will help him assist the White Snake in its evolution.

The White Snake can become even stronger by applying the "Power of the Wraiths" and the "Zero-Tail Technique".

"it is good."

Hui Naiguo nodded slightly and began to explain the situation to Qing Si.

Kiyoshi then found some scattered information from the research institute, which greatly increased his understanding of summoned beasts.

With his photographic memory, he memorized it all in no time.

"You have mastered the entry: [Summoning Beast Scholar (Blue)]".

[Entry: Summoning Beast Scholar (Blue)]

[Requirements met: Research on summoning beasts meets minimum requirements.]

【Progress: (Completed).】

[Effect: You can attempt to compose a summoning scroll, reducing the summoning difficulty by 40%.]

【Note: You can continue to advance later. 】

"Make your own scroll?"

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

A spirit scroll, as the name suggests, can be used to summon other objects or people through spirits.

This can be considered a low-end version of the "Flying Thunder God Technique".

"I can try making the sealing scroll myself."

The Qing Si closed the entry.

The summoning scroll is only one aspect; with his current mastery of sealing techniques, he could also attempt to create sealing scrolls.

Compared to spirit summoning scrolls, Kiyoshi used sealing scrolls more often.

……

Konoha.

Several months have passed quickly.

After a few months of relative calm in the village, disappearances began to occur frequently.

Both ninjas and ordinary civilians have gone missing.

The traces were exactly the same as those of the mass infant disappearances many years ago; they all vanished from the village without anyone noticing.

This matter falls under the management of Minato Namikaze.

He quickly uncovered some things, but the results of his investigation were so astonishing that he sought advice from the higher-ups in Konoha.

"What? This matter is related to Orochimaru?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nearly dropped his pipe.

Did his eldest disciple still go down this path?

"Damn it, Orochimaru went too far."

Danzo Shimura clenched his fist.

He had to destroy all traces of himself immediately, so that no one could see that he had cooperated with Orochimaru or was involved in human experimentation.

If some things are not discussed openly, there is room for maneuver.

Once it's laid out in the open, there's no way to defend oneself.

"Orochimaru, huh?"

Kiyoshi sat calmly in the Hokage's chair.

The plot has still progressed to this point.

"Third Hokage, Orochimaru is your disciple. I'll leave this matter to you."

Kiyoshi looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Ninjas are a bunch of hypocritical guys.

The so-called "Will of Fire" is a flower that blooms upon hypocrisy.

They say it's for the village's sake, but it's really for their own benefit.

Since Hiruzen Sarutobi valued the village so much, the original story actually chose to let Orochimaru go.

The bodies of his loyal subordinates and the villagers he cherished hung before his eyes.

All principles can be compromised for personal feelings.

If it were a stranger, a ninja, they would have killed him on the spot without a doubt. How could such a vicious criminal have been allowed to escape?

"I will handle this matter personally."

With a serious expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned and left to put on his armor.

"Alright, let's adjourn the meeting. I have other things to do."

Kiyoshi's figure disappeared from the Hokage's office in an instant.

At this point, only Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, Minato Namikaze, and Danzo Shimura remained in the Hokage's office.

"Lord Orochimaru would actually do such a thing."

Minato Namikaze was quite surprised.

"Hmph, Uchiha Kiyoshi sent Hiruzen, it seems Orochimaru will definitely get away."

Danzo Shimura frowned.

He preferred that Uchiha Kiyoshi go in person, as he was likely to kill Orochimaru directly, given Kiyoshi's character.

With the Orochimaru incident, all ties between him and Orochimaru were severed.

If Orochimaru were to defect, it would be tantamount to escaping with leverage over him.

"The Third Hokage was the rightful Hokage, how could he have done that?"

Minato Namikaze was stunned.

Hiruzen Sarutobi always taught him to prioritize the "Will of Fire" and not to let personal emotions interfere.

"hehe."

Danzo Shimura chuckled coldly twice, said nothing, and pushed open the door to leave.

He's going to destroy the evidence now.

"Ugh."

Koharu and Homura both sighed.

……

When Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived with his ninjas, he was immediately shocked by what he saw.

The laboratory walls were covered with cold hooks, and on the hooks were numerous corpses.

His most prized and talented disciple is dissecting one of the corpses with a scalpel.

Are you going to kill me?

Orochimaru slowly turned his head.

His golden vertical pupils stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi behind him.

Human experimentation will eventually come to light, and Orochimaru anticipated this.

But this happened faster than Orochimaru had imagined, as if someone had deliberately leaked some of his information.

"Orochimaru……"

Hiruzen Sarutobi formed hand seals, but when he was about to complete the last seal, he couldn't finish it.

He could have unleashed a powerful fire-style ninjutsu attack on Orochimaru simply by completing the final hand seals.

In such a confined space, Orochimaru had nowhere to hide.
