Infinite Clone System Chapter 12: Ghost Mask
Faced with Orochimaru's question, Norton laughed and said mysteriously
"Let me tell you a piece of information for the time being, vampires contain a lot of secrets, and there is a stone ghost mask in your Konoha. If you can study him thoroughly, you will know more about the world, and also You can understand a lot of things that you weren't sure about or couldn't understand before."
"Ghost mask?!" Orochimaru was puzzled, knowing that he is now Konoha's current Hokage, and he knows all the ninjutsu, props or confidential documents in the village.
(Is it the old man and Jiraiya that time? They put it down?)
He quickly thought of the incident when Jiraiya suddenly became young and then returned to Konoha. At that time, he and Koharu, Mito Gate, Shimura Danzo and other high-level executives were all concerned about this matter. I was very interested, but no matter how much pressure was exerted, the third generation did not tell the matter.
After he became Hokage, he consulted the documents at that time, from which he only learned that Jiraiya also obtained the power of ripples, and there is not much detailed description of the others.
Now think about it, if the above record is correct, Dio's head occupies Jonathan's body at the last moment, and how can Jonathan, who only has one head left, transmit the ripples to Jiraiya?
Orochimaru doesn't appear to show much on the surface. I didn't ask Norton where the stone ghost mask was, because since the other party didn't say it clearly from the beginning, either he didn't know, or he wouldn't tell him about it.
"I see, I'll have someone track down K's origins, and in fact I'm also very interested in him."
Orochimaru licked his lips with his tongue, and his eyes revealed a little excitement. He couldn't wait to return to Konoha to find the whereabouts of the stone ghost mask.
He's been coveting that magical item that seems to give people immortality for a long time.
Suppressing greed, he looked up at the sky, as if it was the time, estimated it and said, "If there is nothing else, I will go back to the village."
He believes that the value of the other party's information is comparable to what he has paid in the future. If he asks for or covets anything more...
If the other party asks for anything, it can be said that it is an equivalent exchange;
But if Norton gives or informs him carelessly, it will make Orochimaru feel like he has received a gift.
And Orochimaru believes that there are absolutely no gifts for nothing in this world, especially since he and Norton have not been serious friends from the beginning, they are only temporarily standing on the same front because they have a common enemy just up.
As for whether it will be friend or foe, no one can be sure.
Even if I can pass the common level, it's a matter of two things...
So, he offered to return Konoha.
Norton absently replied with a hum, then raised his head and looked at the rare nine-star spectacle, not knowing what he was thinking.
Orochimaru quietly left, first returning to the experimental base in the capital of the Land of Fire, and finding Beluhu.
Since the structure of this masked force has been constructed before, it is necessary to start to improve it. With the existence of the technique of Guiya Luo, this force will soon come in handy.
It's just that troops like this are destined to be hidden in the shadows, because if the wealthy people in the ninja world know that Orochimaru has a ninjutsu that can devour their blood, they won't even care about it. The identity of the Hokage himself.
At that time, he may really be the target of public criticism.
After everything was arranged, he took advantage of the night to return to Konoha. He didn't take a rest for the first time, but chose to think about where the stone ghost mask was hidden by the old man.
With his knowledge of Hokage III and Jiraiya, he can be sure that the mask must still be in Konoha, and it must have been sealed by Sandai.
Walking casually on the streets of Konoha, while thinking about possible locations, he directly separated several wooden clones.
With his current strength, even if it is a wooden clone, few people can detect it in today's Konoha.
Since the old man did not make the mask public, it means that he does not want others to use this power, so it is likely to be stored in a relatively safe place.
And he clearly remembered that there was no such a mask in Konoha's reserve room, and other than that, the safe places in Konoha could be tested one by one using the exclusion method. .
The Sarutobi family, the Hokage building, the house of Jiraiya...
Orochimaru searched for five or six places, and even used the Tudun to go to the ground, but did not find any strange places.
(No, Norton said the mask is in Konoha. That means he didn't let the ape demon or the group of toads from Miaomushan take away, and it still exists, which means it hasn't been destroyed...)
(Is the stone ghost mask has some kind of indestructible property? Or did the old man also think about using that power when necessary?)
Orochimaru's body unknowingly came to the front of a house.
He raised his head and found that this was Minato Naikaze's residence, but now there are only two people, Kushina Uzumaki and Naruto Naruto.
(Will it be here?)
Orochimaru put his hands in his trouser pockets, and the coldness of the moon reflected in his snake pupils. He made a seal and made flowers bloom around the house. These flowers bloomed with buds and spit out hallucinations. The gas floated into the room.
Kyuubi Renzhuli has a strong ability to detect, although Kushina has no nine tails in her body, but in this long-term blending, she may have inherited some of the characteristics of the nine tails.
Orochimaru doesn't want to cause some unnecessary trouble because of his own negligence, which will only make him feel incompetent.
After using the wooden tunnel to put all the people in the house into a deep sleep, Orochimaru withdrew the ninjutsu, then quietly opened the door and walked into it quietly.
The dark night couldn't cover his sight. Orochimaru quickly glanced at it, but it was normal, and he didn't find any problems.
He checked a few rooms at random and found that there was no abnormality in them. In the end, only the room where Kushina himself and Naruto lived.
After thinking about it, he decided to open the door and observe.
It's just that when he just walked to the door and was about to push the door to enter, he suddenly felt a deadly killing intent. The killing intent was cold and tyrannical, like a tyrannosaur roaring in front of him. , and it was like a monster in the Nine Nether whispering in his ear.
Orochimaru didn't dare to take any other action for a moment, and the whole person froze in place. His intuition told him that if he went further and entered, he would die, and there was no doubt that he would die horribly !
I can't imagine that I have grown to such a level, but in the face of real danger, is it still so worthless?
What kind of monster is hidden in it? It makes me feel so terrifying just because of its aura...
Orochimaru smiled at himself, and then began to try to relax
Breathe...
Take a deep breath...
He tried his best to adjust his mentality, let his mind empty, and let himself recover from that state.
Of course he didn't know about Naruto. First, Hashima himself didn't know that the baby would be someone from Konoha Village, and the Six Path Immortals didn't tell him. Second, he told Orochimaru about it. What happened at the time was actually quite rough.
Just when Orochimaru was hesitating whether he should withdraw, he suddenly heard a baby-like clear voice behind him
"You're looking for this, aren't you?"
Orochimaru turned around abruptly and found that behind him, he didn't know when a baby appeared.
That's... Naruto? !
Orochimaru can hardly believe his eyes
Although he knew for a long time that there was a demon named the Holy Master in Naruto, he did not expect that the seal placed by the "First Hokage" would lose its effect so quickly!
However, it shouldn't be...
With that Demon King's style, if he recovered, he would have destroyed Konoha long ago...
A lot of thoughts flashed through Orochimaru's mind, but this time and place was definitely not the time to think about them, so he forcibly endured his doubts and looked at the item in Naruto's hand.
It was a stone mask, and there was nothing unusual about its appearance, but if I thought of its legend, Orochimaru felt a restless fiery feeling in his heart, he suppressed this feeling forcibly and said softly. "Yeah, that's what I'm looking for."
He is being honest because there is no need to lie now.
"It's on the ground floor of Minato Minato's room. If you want it, I'll leave it to you."
'Naruto' casually threw the stone ghost mask to Orochimaru, who caught it steadily, and then continued to cast his eyes on 'Naruto'.
He could feel that the other party didn't seem to have anything to say.
"In exchange, let me despair as much as you want," said the baby
Orochimaru frowned, he didn't quite understand what the other party said...
'Naruto' snorted, then said "literally, if you still don't understand..."
He snapped his fingers, and the next moment he recalled pictures in Orochimaru's mind.
Almost instantly, he saw scenes of Naruto being accused of being a nine-tailed demon fox, being ostracized by the village, and even resentful.
He keenly discovered that there were three generations of Hokage in that picture, and on the Hokage Rock were the statues of the first, second, third and fourth Namikaze Minato, which looked different from the Konoha he was in. .
That is, of course, the Naruto world in the original book. Naruto used an illusion to put it into Orochimaru's mind.
However, he just transmitted it to the beginning of the plot to let Orochimaru understand Naruto's situation.
"The world is a very complex concept, and for this whole, it has a timeline."
'Naruto' smiled and explained, "Every choice you make will lead to a completely different world line. For example, if you accept my proposal at this moment, then the timeline will split and continue according to your wishes. Development, and correspondingly, there is a line that splintered out along with your rejection of my proposal."
"You can call them possible worlds or parallel spaces, but it doesn't matter, because most people in this world can't touch this knowledge and field."
Orochimaru didn't reply, and seemed to be still digesting and absorbing this knowledge.
"There are many parallel spaces, but very few can truly develop into parallel worlds. After all, possibilities are possibilities, and what I just transmitted in your mind is the possibility of a true parallel world. "
"So that's the case... The old man has already confirmed that the fourth Hokage is Namikaze Minato..."
He didn't respond to 'Naruto' for the first time, but instead sneered.
He saw that the fourth-generation Naruto statue in parallel time and space was Minato Namikaze, combined with the old man who hid the stone ghost mask in the underground of Minato Namikaze's house...
He simply introduced that the old man wanted to pass the position of the fourth Hokage to Minato Namikaze from the beginning, rather than temporarily entrusting it to Minato before his death as he said before.
His pursuit of the position of the fourth Hokage is not great, just like he even hoped that the first Hokage could return to Konoha to replace himself, but this does not mean that he has no opinion on the choice of the third generation.
He can't have Orochimaru, but they can't!
This is the idea of Orochimaru!
But at this point~IndoMTL.com~ it doesn't make any sense to say any more. He's not the kind of person who cares deeply. After shaking his head, he didn't ask 'Naruto' why he did it himself, just gently nodded and said
"I will do this, but the situation for you and Uzumaki Kushina may not be very good next time."
This is very easy to do, because Uchiha Obito had hypnotized the five kingdoms and let them spread the remarks that Naruto was the son of the devil, and many people in Konoha knew at that time.
With just a few words from him, this kind of remarks will make waves again, and such words can easily isolate Naruto.
"If this is not the case, how can my brother be truly desperate?"
'Naruto' raised a smile, and finally said, "The stone ghost mask is actually quite fragile, but if you destroy it, it can be resurrected elsewhere, which is why the Joestar family didn't have it. The reason for its destruction."
"I can see that it contains a lot of secrets. If your research is stuck, you can come to me again."
After speaking, Orochimaru felt a trance, and the next moment, he found that the baby "Naruto" in front of him had disappeared.
He looked at the stone ghost mask in his hand, was silent for a moment, and then quietly exited the wave house.
Orochimaru put away the mask, and he will go to the laboratory in the capital of the Fire Kingdom again.
Such things like spreading rumors, of course, cannot be done by himself, which will make Jiraiya, Tsunade and Uzumaki Kushina all have opinions on him.
So, not only can he not take the initiative to spread it on the bright side, but he must stop it with all his strength.
Therefore, he needs others to cooperate with him.
