Chapter 467: Bishojo-chan?
“Indeed, this one is a member of the famed Amatsukami.” Nodded the figure.
Disguised as Fujin, it is undeniably Hyuga Kuroto controlling the Wind Nature Clone-A.
The reason he came here is obviously to make a deal with Shimura Danzo, at the same time spend some time in Wind Nature Clone of his.
The third Anbu who was sitting on the tree was about to say something, but before he could, one of the Anbu Fujin had captured spoke, “What does… huff… what does a member of Amatsukami want… want from Konoha?”
‘I must alert Danzo-sama that someone of Amatsukami is here before this man makes any other move.’ Thought the third Anbu as he started to print hand seals.
But before he could continue, Iron Sand appeared out of the ground and covered him too.
At this time, Fujin tilted his head to the side, then said, “Did this one not mention it before? This one is here as a representative of Amatsukami to make a deal with Shimura Danzo.”
The third Anbu who was also entangled by Fujin and was now brought close to him immediately asked, “What kind of a deal?”
“I wonder if this one should talk about the deal with a subordinate.” Muttered Fujin as he walked forward and removed the mask of the third Anbu, and looking at the face under the mask, he said “My? It turns out you are not a Shinobi-kun but a Kunoichi-chan, and a beautiful one at that?”
The one under the mask is a young Kunoichi about 15-16 years of age, she has long sky-blue hair, a fair appearance, and blue pupilless eyes of the same color as her hair, although, when it comes to the chest part she is as flat as a board, ‘A pity.’
Although she couldn’t the other party’s eyes, her instincts told her that her chest was being looked down, and feeling this, the Kunoichi gritted her teeth and roared, “I am still developing, you BASTARD!!” And instantly lightning appeared on her body which removed the Iron Sand covering her, the very next instant, she drew out her blade from behind and fiercely waved it towards Fujin.
Fujin obviously dodged all her slashes with perfect ease, then locked her movements so she could no longer move, and said, “Now-now, don’t be so fierce bishojo-chan, although this one likes women who take the lead, this is neither the right time nor the right place. Currently, this one is only here to make a deal with Shimura Danzo, so go and inform him that a member of Amatsukami is here, bishojo-chan.”
The Kunoichi had a light blush upon hearing ‘right time and right place’, but she immediately recovered and snorted coldly, but knowing that she couldn’t defeat the guy she stopped struggling, but said nonetheless, “He is not here.”
Fujin wasn’t surprised, and said, “Really?” then after a bit of thinking he said again, “Well if bishojo-chan doesn’t want to tell him of this one’s visit then no matter, this one will personally go all the way and verify, it’s not too troublesome anyway.” And after speaking so he started walking towards the hidden cave. He obviously knew that the Kunoichi was lying.
The Kunoichi’s face stiffened, “Please wait a moment.”
Fujin smirked under his mask, and after turning around, he asked with a clueless tone, “Is there something bishojo-chan wanted to say to this one?”
“I… I will go and inform him that someone from Amatsukami is here.” Said the Kunoichi.
Fujin nodded, “Then please hurry Bishojo-chan, this one’s schedule is very tight.”
The Kunoichi didn’t reply but she disappeared and hurried in the direction of the hidden cave.
Looking at her back from a distance, Fujin thought, ‘This one wonders what’s her story? From the look in her eyes, and from her actions, it doesn’t seem that Bishojo-chan is very loyal to Shimura Danzo, yet she is willing to work for him, this one wonders what is Shimura Danzo offering Bishojo-chan in return?’
From a rough understanding from the short bout, Fujin determined that the strength of the Kunoichi is about the level of a Tokubetsu Jonin, which is not too bad considering that she is only about 15-16 years old.
…
Inside one of the rooms in the Hidden Cave.
Orochimaru was leaning on the wall with his hands folded over his chest, and said in a sly tone, “Heh, I wonder why you are still allowed to roam free. With the number of terrible things, you have done the old man should have already disposed of you, and yet, you roam free, even though your Root has been disbanded, and yet, you have this much manpower in your hands, I wonder what is he thinking.”
The way, Orochimaru spoke, he seems to be trying to intentionally provoke Shimura Danzo.
“Orochimaru! Pay attention to what you speak in the presence of old man.” Danzo slammed his crutch on the ground, and immediately a violent chakra burst out of his body, and several cracks spread on the floor.
Feeling this violent Chakra, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, and thought inwardly, ‘It appears that my guess was correct.’
Shimura Danzo is around the same age as Sandaime, so his body should be going downhill, not to mention that Danzo’s strength is inferior to Sandaime Hokage, so the fact that he, who should be old and weak has such high Chakra Reserves proved that Orochimaru’s guess is indeed correct.
And he asked with a surprised tone, “So you succeeded, huh?”
Shimura Danzo did not deny it, and nodded with a solemn expression, “Although it was difficult, the old man was finally able to control Shodaime-sama’s cells.”
The reason why Danzo did not hide is that he wants Orochimaru to know that he is not so weak as Orochimaru may think, this is necessary for their continued cooperation.
“Sure enough.” – muttered Orochimaru as he looked at Danzo with a bit of respect.
Orochimaru may as well be considered a crazy and mad man, but in fact, he is a very cautious person. The cautiousness has been ingrained in his bones, after all, the ultimate goal he pursues is immortality, and for that, he is unwilling to take risks that would result in his death, so any experiment that has a high mortality rate is dispensable for him.
But despite his cautious nature, Orochimaru can’t help but admire those who are willing to take extreme risks to change their destiny, of course, admiration is only slight because most of the time these people are foolish and tend to overestimate themselves.
Danzo observed the changes in Orochimaru, then after a bit of silence, he said, “Orochimaru, you were part of the Akatsuki organization, and you are an old acquaintance of Hiruko. You must have the scroll of Chimera Jutsu in your hand, trade it with the old man, as long as it’s not too much, the old man is willing to satisfy your greed.”
Orochimaru licked his lips and was about to speak.
Whoosh
But before Orochimaru could speak, a Root Anbu appeared next to Danzo and whispered words to Danzo.
Danzo frowned upon hearing the words of the Root Anbu, and his expression changed suddenly by the time the Root Anbu was finished. After a while of thinking, he questioned, “Are you certain?”
Danzo was silent, then looked at Orochimaru from the corner of his eye, then instructed the Root Anbu, “Alright, bring him in.”
“Yes, Danzo-sama.” The Root Anbu nodded with a respectful tone and immediately disappeared from the room.
With the Root Anbu gone, Orochimaru who was standing on the side asked, “Who is coming?”
Danzo said with a playful tone, “Why don’t you try guessing?”
“Someone can make you temporarily suppress the desire for Chimera Jutsu, the identity of the other party must be extraordinary.” After a pause, Orochimaru continued but with a chilling smile, especially since Danzo looked at him before instructing the Root Anbu, “It wouldn’t happen to be a member of Akatsuki Organization, right?”
Danzo shook his head, “No.” If it was Akatsuki, then it would have been Danzo running towards the village, not inviting the other party to his base of operation.
Orochimaru thought about it and he too felt that it wouldn’t be Akatsuki Organization, so he asked again, “Then is it, the Amatsukami?”
“I wonder.” – muttered Danzo then moved his gaze towards the entrance of the room.
After a while of wait, a figure in very familiar clothing and a wind patterned mask walked into the room under the escort of three Root Anbu. The previous Root Anbu was in the front, while two more were behind him.
Orochimaru immediately cast his gazes and looked up and down at the figure of Fujin. Fujin also spotted the figure of Orochimaru in the room, and can’t help but think inwardly in surprise, ‘Huh, why is Orochimaru-sama here?’
Shimura Danzo stood up, his one hand already on the seal of his right hand, and he asked, “Who are you?”
Danzo’s little movements were obviously noticed by Fujin with his Byakugan, but he did not care, and said, “Shimura-san may refer to this one as Fujin of the Amatsukami.”
“Fujin!?” Danzo and Orochimaru both chewed out the name at the same time. By now everyone knows that each member of Amatsukami has a code, and this code is not only a name but also represents the member’s main Chakra Nature.
For example, Suijin of the Water Style with Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, Homusubi of the Fire Style with an unknown Golden Fire-type Kekkei Genkai, and Sharingan.
The person in front of two has the Code Name Fujin, so his main Chakra Nature has to be Wind.
So, he has to be the user of Wind style who has already made several appearances in the Shinobi World but never interacted with anyone. And if he is the same one, then the Kekkei Genkai he uses is without a doubt Magnet Release.
Danzo did not relax his vigilance, and said, “How do you prove that you are a member of Amatsukami and not an imposter?”
Fujin chuckled, “Why don’t Shimura-San asks his subordinates? This one thinks that Shimura-san’s subordinates would be willing to prove that this one is original, and not an imposter.”
Danzo frowned, and continued, “The old man must confirm himself.”
“If Shimura-san is so doubtful then this one shall comply to his request.” As soon as Fujin’s words were finished, Iron Sand rushed out of the ground and tried to pull him under the ground.
Danzo’s figure immediately flashed away, and he barely avoided the Iron Sand, then had a thoughtful look on his face, ‘He is using Magnet Release, maybe he really is a member of Amatsukami, but when did he transfer his Iron Sand under the ground? I didn’t even notice. He is certainly strong as the rumors suggest, but how strong exactly, I have no method of knowing this without a fight.
Should I capture him, it would certainly be beneficial for Konoha, but there’s no guarantee if I will be able to do so without revealing all my cards. Or should I send a signal to Hiruzen? No, if it is revealed that I am working with Orochimaru then it would be more troublesome. Moreover, other members of Amatsukami can also be present in the surroundings, and if a fight breaks out here who knows what will Orochimaru do.
Well given the fact that he is here to talk about something, I suppose I can talk, I can also think about what to do with him in the meantime.’ Thinking so, Danzo said, “So, why is Amatsukami looking for the old man?”
Fujin said, “This one is here as a representative of Amatsukami to make a deal with Shimura-san.”
“A deal? What kind of deal?” asked Danzo with a frown, with so little information on Amatsukami, he isn’t even sure what would interest Amatsukami.
Fujin nodded, and explained, “Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha with his policies has disappointed Amatsukami, he neither has strength, nor the courage to be the leader of the strongest Shinobi Village. For the future of this Shinobi World, Konoha needs a new Hokage, someone courageous enough to stand against the wind, and Amatsukami has chosen Shimura-san for this purpose.”
Orochimaru’s expression changed, he certainly agreed on the part that Konoha needs a new Hokage for a better and more glorious future, but why does Amatsukami care about Konoha’s future? And what kind of deal are they talking about?
Danzo had the same thought, except for a few extra ones, but calming his emotions, he asked again, “And should the Old man believe a Mercenary Organization?” After all, his doubts are reasonable.
Danzo can guess that Amatsukami probably wants to have some cooperation with Konoha, their leader had talked about it with Hiruzen at Amegakure, but Hiruzen did not respond immediately. So perhaps Amatsukami is disappointed with Hiruzen? But what’s the guarantee that Amatsukami that Amatsukami is not trying to take advantage of him?
Fujin knew Danzo wouldn’t trust him, but that’s the intention, Fujin wants Danzo to focus on another thought, thought of Hokage, cooperation, and disappointment while Fujin himself will complete his main objective.
With s smirk under his mask, Fujin said, “It certainly is not an easy task to trust us, which is why this one mentioned a deal. This one has learned through the grapevine that Shimura-san seems to have an interest in the Chimera Jutsu created by Perfect Hiruko of the Five Style (Hiruko’s Alias). And this one has Chimera Jutsu with him, so if Shimura-san can afford it, this one is willing to sell Chimera Jutsu and a Chimera Bud to Shimura-san as a mark of sincerity.”
Danzo’s expression changed, “How does Amatsukami have Chimera Jutsu?”
Danzo had just proposed a deal to Orochimaru about Chimera Jutsu, and suddenly a member of Amatsukami came out of nowhere to his door for some reason with the exactly same Jutsu, obviously, this is going to make Danzo vigilant. ‘And what did he mean by Grape Vine? I can be certain that very few know about my desire for Chimera Jutsu, so how does he know?’
Fujin said without hiding, “Some time ago this one killed Shinno who used to be a member of Amatsukami, and back then this one obtained Chimera Jutsu.”
Orochimaru immediately thought, ‘So it really was Amatsukami who killed Shinno. It must mean that Amatsukami has also acquired Ancor Vantian.’ Very few people knew about that floating fortress and Orochimaru obviously did.
While Danzo had a different thought, ‘So, they acquired from Shinno. It must at least be genuine.’ And after a while of consideration, he asked, “And what does Amatsukami want in exchange for the scroll of Chimera Jutsu?”
Fujin thought a little, then said, “How about 170 million Ryo?”
Danzo suddenly frowned, “So cheap?!”
Hearing Fujin’s price, Danzo subconsciously began to have second thoughts. He began to wonder if the Chimera Jutsu in the hands of Amatsukami is even real or not.
