He looked up and said, "Have the Hyuga Guard spread the word that all of this was done under Danzo's coercion."
"Elder Haidou, your position as elder is revoked, and you are placed under house arrest pending further action..."
"As for this letter of appointment as an honorary elder..."
.
The land of rice.
Stepping onto the land of rice, Kawasaki truly felt the vibrancy of the region.
Along the way, both the land of water and the land of hot springs were in ruins, and few people were seen on the journey.
Even though I prepared a lot of food, there will always be times when I get tired of it.
Upon stepping into the land of the rice country.
Walking into a small town on the border, I was surprised to find a shop with a sign that read "Chinese Cuisine".
Kawasaki urged his companions to eat heartily.
On one hand, he was filled with emotion, never expecting that the catering training he had done back then would come in such a useful way in another world.
To be able to taste a bit of home in this unfamiliar place.
Although the taste is slightly different due to the limited ingredients, it is a great comfort in a foreign land.
The world of Naruto is extremely unevenly developed, with some places being technologically advanced while others are poor and backward.
In terms of food, almost no one has conducted in-depth research, so there is naturally no talk of a flourishing food culture.
The delicacies from the previous life, which evolved over many years, are simply a game-changer when brought here.
After completing their mission, the Uchiha members were in no hurry to return.
The group sampled a variety of delicacies along the way. The few from the Water Kingdom were experiencing exotic cuisine for the first time, and once they started, they couldn't stop.
Kisame and Kyoko Kurita have a preference for spicy food, and they love the skewers, hot pot, and other snacks along the way.
Kimimaro and Shiro preferred sweets and bought a lot of water chestnut cake, mung bean cake, red bean cake, and other sweets.
The two were all smiles, experiencing a rare moment of joy and happiness.
Kawasaki let them enjoy themselves to the fullest, stopping frequently along the way. It took them more than half a month to finally arrive at the Village of Sound.
The village of Sound Ninja is expanding day by day, and the surrounding streets are under construction, with shops lined up one after another.
With so many people coming to entrust tasks, there are naturally many consumers as well, creating a virtuous cycle.
Many of the former ninjas were members of the Uchiha clan who had left, and they were all overjoyed to see Kawasaki. "Lord Kawasaki!"
"Kawasaki-sama!"
People would greet Kawasaki from time to time.
Even while I was away, news from Konoha kept coming in.
Everyone knows that since they left, although the Uchiha clan has been removed from the center of power, everyone's life has actually become better.
Many of their family members are still in Konoha, and with summoning beasts, communication between them is extremely fast.
They understood that the Uchiha clan was now extremely wealthy, and they no longer needed to risk their lives to complete missions.
Especially recently, the Uchiha clan members in Konoha no longer accept missions in Konoha; instead, they receive all the missions from here for them to choose from.
The Uchiha clan no longer needs to be bound by Konoha's attitude.
Some families welcomed new siblings, while others received generous subsidies from their families after their brothers got married and had children.
All of this is thanks to Kawasaki, and therefore everyone respects him from the bottom of their hearts.
As everyone thinks, Kawasaki should be the next clan chief.
Knowing that Kawasaki had important business to attend to, everyone said goodbye and left first.
Itachi quickly came out to greet Kawasaki. "Kawasaki-senpai, it's been a long time."
Over four years, Itachi had grown considerably taller, and his appearance was becoming more and more like the Itachi in Kawasaki's memory, except for the Fire Cloud Robe.
Kawasaki shook his head, banishing the strange thought.
He chuckled and patted Itachi on the back: "You've grown quite a bit taller, Itachi."
"Thank you for your care."
Itachi remained polite as ever. "Alright, take me to see Orochimaru first."
Kawasaki didn't care at all; instead, he was full of anticipation for Orochimaru.
Itachi led the way, passing through the Sound Village, and then walked along a small path.
Upon reaching a mountain hollow, they found a cave that had been carved out, with a ninja standing on each side of the cave entrance.
The chakra reactions of these two ninjas were also at the Jonin level.
But the key point is that Kawasaki's previous guess was correct: the person whose name was not left in the original work.
Even if you join a faction template, you will not receive any rewards.
Kawasaki narrowed his eyes slightly, suddenly wondering if Orochimaru had already recruited the Sound Four into his ranks.
If that's the case, perhaps we can gain some benefits.
Itachi led Kawasaki deeper into the cave, where he discovered a vast and expansive space.
Whether Orochimaru had hollowed out the entire mountain or not, the sound of footsteps came from ahead.
Orochimaru appeared at the end of the passage, raised his hands, and looked intently at Kawasaki: "Kawasaki-kun, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
A low and hoarse voice sounded.
Yes, that's exactly the smell.
[Ding! Orochimaru successfully recruited.]
Congratulations, host, you have gained the ability to analyze ninjutsu.
Hmm? Do we still have to meet in person to get it?
Orochimaru's talent for ninjutsu is well-known; his ability to analyze ninjutsu allows him to quickly learn and perfect ninjutsu.
With this, learning ninjutsu will be much faster in the future.
Kawasaki smiled broadly: "Orochimaru, I've also been looking forward to this meeting for a long time."
"Come on, I'll take you to the lab."
Orochimaru nodded in satisfaction and led the way.
Kawasaki and Itachi followed closely behind.
Orochimaru deliberately slowed his pace to walk alongside Kawasaki.
"Kawasaki-kun, Jugo and Karin, whom you had Itachi find, are really promising talents. They have brought a lot of new ideas to our experiments."
"Jugo's body greatly facilitated my research on the curse seal."
Orochimaru was preoccupied with his scientific experiments, and Kawasaki quickly got into the zone as well.
"I believe that Jugo's physique is naturally able to attract natural energy, and his curse seal is actually a low-level Sage Mode."
"A true immortal should not lose their human mind."
Orochimaru nodded: "Kawasaki-kun, which do you think is better, Ryuchi Cave or the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku?"
Kawasaki shook his head and said, "It depends on the individual's constitution, and which Frog Sage Technique is more suitable for Mount Myōboku..."
"Whether it's the snake magic of Ryuchi Cave or the slug magic of Shikkotsu Forest."
"Of course, the immortal forms in these three places all developed based on their own characteristics."
"If we learn their Sage Mode, we will eventually take on some of their racial characteristics."
Kawasaki paused for a moment, then continued, "No one can guarantee whether the immortal arts of the three holy lands will affect one's mind."
If possible, I would like to create a kind of immortal magic exclusively for humankind.
Orochimaru nodded thoughtfully; he had been an orphan since childhood.
During his later years, he developed a deep connection with Yongji-dong.
His ninjutsu series is all inspired by snakes.
Even their own bloodline may be intricately connected to Ryuchi Cave.
But that didn't matter to him; Orochimaru was a scientist.
He has invented secret techniques like the Reincarnation of the Dead, which allow him to freely change bodies.
Naturally, they would not be limited to the inheritance of their own bloodline.
Orochimaru has lofty ambitions and will not limit himself to Ryuchi Cave or the study of snakes.
If there are any potential risks associated with the Sage Mode in Ryūchi-dō, such as affecting one's mind, he would not hesitate to abandon Ryūchi-dō.
Although Orochimaru understood that rebirth had damaged his soul, and that practicing Sage Mode might be quite difficult.
During their conversation, Orochimaru led Kawasaki and Itachi into the laboratory. "Lord Orochimaru! Brother Itachi!"
A little girl with bright red hair and round glasses was busy putting a piece of rice cake into her mouth.
Itachi nodded slightly and introduced Karin, "This is Kawasaki-senpai. He sent me to Kusagakure to rescue you."
Karin glanced at Kawasaki beside Orochimaru, her eyes gleaming.
The Uchiha clan has always been known for its outstanding appearance, and Kawasaki, in his twenties, was even taller and more imposing than Itachi.
Karin was filled with gratitude for this senior she had a good impression of at first glance, after all, it was he who had asked Itachi to come and save her.
So she called out sweetly, "Kawasaki-senpai."
Kawasaki responded with a smile and a slight nod.
...
Just then, the system notification sounded, albeit somewhat slowly.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for significantly altering Karin's life trajectory.]
