Interesting.
However, this further confirmed to him that the person in front of him was a madman, a complete and utter one.
But this, on the contrary, made him even more interested.
Shouldn't madmen have a resonance?
Chapter 75: A Small Request (Seeking Collections, Recommendations, and Monthly Tickets)
"Orochimaru, I still want it."
After ending the "meeting" with Orochimaru, Qifeng hurried on for three hours, leaving the Land of Waterfall non-stop, and only slowed down after entering the Land of Grass.
Hiding in a mountain stream in the Land of Grass, he patted his chest with lingering fear.
Regardless of the identity used, facing Orochimaru would be daunting, not entirely because of his strength, but more because of his perverted personality and unfathomable thoughts.
Is the Uchiha clan someone you can provoke casually now?
Didn't you see that even Orochimaru is looking for people from other villages to do it?
Although it's because of the shackles of the Hidden Leaf identity, Qifeng doesn't believe that Orochimaru is someone who wouldn't dare to do it just because of his identity; otherwise, he wouldn't conduct human experiments at all.
Of course, identity has a considerable impact.
But as long as he's willing, secretly killing a few Uchiha ninjas is absolutely undetectable, especially now that it's a time of war, upheaval, and chaos.
But he didn't do it himself.
That's because the current Uchiha clan is a hornet's nest; poking it will attract a swarm, and if they get to the bottom of it, there's a chance they'll trace it back to him.
Having a trouble like Orochimaru is already enough; actively provoking the Uchiha is just asking for trouble.
He's just superficially agreeing to Orochimaru.
He hasn't forgotten the purpose of his trip.
It's to eliminate Orochimaru's suspicion of him, reduce Orochimaru's attention to him, and use another, more promising identity to divert his attention.
The effect should be pretty good.
Uchiha or something, just forget about it.
Standing up, he looked around to make sure there were no traces of snakes before getting up again and heading towards the Land of Rain.
Being a small country and located between the Land of Rain and the Land of Waterfall, the Land of Grass is also sandwiched between the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth, but it hasn't suffered the ravages of war, making its tranquility quite enviable.
The Land of Grass also has a hidden village; the strength of the Hidden Grass Village is not strong, at most equivalent to the Hidden Waterfall Village.
However, unlike the Hidden Waterfall Village, which is biased towards Iwa ninjas, the Hidden Grass Village has always been a loyal pump for Konoha.
Therefore, Iwa ninjas use the Land of Waterfall, where they are more familiar with the terrain, as the battlefield, rather than the Land of Grass.
Thus, the Land of Grass was spared.
It must be said that this is a case of different fates for villages.
Walking on the path overgrown with weeds, his mood was rarely somewhat cheerful, and he gradually recovered from the panic of seeing Orochimaru.
"When one flower blooms, another withers; among the flowers on the mountain, only you..."
Humming a little tune.
"Hmm?"
Qifeng suddenly stopped, noticing a peculiar plant growing in the grass not far away.
He walked closer.
"Da Xiong seems to have said that this thing is highly poisonous and is an excellent material for quenching weapons, but it's relatively rare and hard to find."
He slowly squatted down, looking at the "harmless" and even somewhat cute plant in front of him, and gently touched it with a kunai. He saw it slowly bend its roots, revealing the dark red side of its emerald green leaves.
Recently, Tsunade handed over the position of commander to Danzo, and since there were no battles and the patients who needed treatment had been treated.
So, with nothing to do, she started her small teaching class.
The main target was Shizune, but she didn't avoid Qifeng because most of it was common sense for medical ninjas.
As the leader of the corpse collection team under the medical department, Qifeng could barely be considered half a medical ninja.
Tsunade also took the opportunity to test whether Qifeng had the ability to become a medical ninja, and the result was, of course, as expected.
His talent was shockingly poor.
So Tsunade focused on teaching Shizune, and Qifeng was allowed to bring a small stool to listen in.
If what was being taught was really knowledge about medical ninjutsu, Qifeng might have forgotten it after listening.
But because the enemy was Suna ninjas, the Suna ninjas who were the most skilled at using poison in the entire ninja world, and considering that he might face these experts in using poison in the future, Qifeng listened particularly carefully when Tsunade taught about quenching poison and detoxification.
That's why he was able to recognize the plant in front of him.
"This is a good thing. Da Xiong said that many highly poisonous substances use it as the main material, and the poison is fierce enough to kill a Jonin without any problem."
Qifeng took off the shovel from his back and shoveled up the plant, along with its roots and soil, in one go.
Suna ninjas mostly use poison on puppets, and he's also half a puppeteer, so there will always be a use for it.
Ninjas are, after all, a profession that can use any means to complete a mission. Using poison will not only not be ridiculed or despised, but if you excel at using poison, you may even become an object of fear and awe.
For this, refer to Chiyo.
"The Land of Grass has a sparse population, vast forests, and hasn't been affected by war, so maybe I can find more of these plants."
Qifeng put away the scroll sealing the poisonous plant and decided to stay in the Land of Grass for a while.
He would try to find ninety-nine-eighteen kinds of poisonous substances and go back to concoct a strange poison in the ninja world.
One that even he doesn't have an antidote for.
In future battles, he would throw one at anyone he doesn't like, guaranteeing they'll die with a refreshing burp.
Anyway, the Land of Rain should be very peaceful in the short term, and Konoha will also shift its main attention to Iwa ninjas and Kumo ninjas, so it's safe for his main body even if he goes back a little later.
Besides, Yakura's puppet is almost finished.
After thinking for a moment, Qifeng took out two scrolls and crushed them, replying that the matter was completed and safe, and that he would be back a little later.
