Chapter 175: Encountering Orochimaru on the Road, the Demon Country Seeks Help

Early the next morning, Qianhe left the hotel and began investigation (tourism) in the Bear Country.

If you walk around more, you will realize that the world of Naruto is indeed very big. You can walk in a small corner on the map for several days.

The Bear Country is indeed far behind compared to the Fire Country.

Many of the villages Qian He passed by were very poor. Coupled with factors such as barren land, many people were sallow and thin.

After a whole day of traveling, Qian He arrived at the eastern coastal area of ​​the Bear Country. People here make a living by fishing. There is also a small chamber of commerce from the Bear Country here, which makes the economic level here much higher than other areas.

After arriving here, Qian He found a meatball shop to rest.

While eating meatballs, he watched the passers-by.

It's just that the meatballs here are inferior to Konoha's three-color meatballs in terms of sweetness and taste. There is no comparison.

Qianhe has already decided to take a rest today and rush back to Konoha tomorrow.

Ringing~

Ringing~

At this time, a crisp sound of bells sounded.

Qian He looked to the right, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and his chewing of the balls also slowed down inadvertently.

There are two people on the right, one tall and one short, both wearing black robes with red clouds.

The man on the left is pale and bloodless. His face is thin, with bangs covering his right eye. He has narrow eyes, black eyeliner and purple eyeshadow, weird golden vertical pupils, and blue magatama-shaped earrings. The earrings are none other than Orochimaru.

I don't know when he returned to his original appearance.

The person on the right seems to be lying on the ground. Is this Fei Liuhu?

"It seems that Orochimaru has joined the Akatsuki organization. What are they doing here?"

Qian He frowned slightly as he looked at the two of them.

Orochimaru also quickly spotted Qianhe sitting in the meatball shop among the crowd. His eyes suddenly lit up and he walked towards Qianhe.

Qianhe swallowed the ball in his mouth, calmly took a sip of tea, and waited for Orochimaru to come over.

Compared with the last time they met in the Chunin Exam, Qianhe's strength has improved greatly again. Now he may not be able to defeat Orochimaru, but it is not the same situation as before where he can only run away if he encounters him.

Orochimaru walked to Qianhe's table, sat down opposite Qianhe naturally, and said with a smile:

"Qianhe Jun, I didn't expect to meet again so soon."

"Mr. Orochimaru, I didn't expect that we would meet here." Qianhe smiled lightly.

Orochimaru looked at Qianhe and suddenly said with some fun:

"Qianhe Jun, you have changed..."

"What has changed?"

"Look, although you are still wary when you see me now, from your eyes, I don't see the fear and fear before, but I see strong confidence."

Orochimaru smiled pointedly.

Hearing this, Qian He nodded slightly and said, "People will always make progress, right?"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "But Qianhe-kun's progress is too amazing.

Last year's battle with Kumogakure had already made him famous in the ninja world. He was already a strong man in his own right at such a young age. It was really not easy.

Moreover, Konoha Gaiden Qianhe-kun is seriously injured and can no longer be a ninja.

But when I saw it today, it was obvious that it was fake.

I am becoming more and more curious about Qian Hejun.

Don’t know how many secrets you have? "

Facing Orochimaru's eyes staring at him, Qianhe felt like he was the prey of a poisonous snake, and he was frightened, but he quickly reacted.

Qian He was secretly vigilant. After all, in addition to Orochimaru, there was also a Scorpion here. Although it was unlikely that he would take action, he still had to be careful.

He was curious, what were Orochimaru and Scorpion doing here?

Qianhe looked at Orochimaru and replied with a smile: "What secret can I have? It's just that my talent is a little bit better than my peers, and I work a little harder than my peers, so I'm a little better than my peers." It’s quite normal, isn’t it?”

"It seems that Mr. Qianhe is really quite confident in his current strength! I wonder how far you have learned the Cloud Hidden Technique scroll I gave you?"

Orochimaru said calmly.

"I still have a little confidence. As for the scroll Mr. Orochimaru gave me, I'm sorry, but it seems that my talent is not very powerful. It will take a long time to learn it. There is no progress for the time being."

"Why, didn't Qianhe-kun take the scroll to ask the Third Hokage for advice? With your talent, the Third Hokage should be very willing to teach you, or did you not tell the Third Hokage at all about the scroll?"

Regarding the threat hidden in Orochimaru's words, Qianhe smiled faintly:

"Actually, the relationship between me and the Third Generation is not as good as Mr. Orochimaru imagined. I am still embarrassed to bother the Third Generation with this kind of thing."

"That's such a pity. If Qianhe-kun's talent is not taken seriously by the third generation, it will be a real loss for Konoha.

Or is it that the third-generation old man is too old and is afraid of the too-excellent Qian Hejun?

Geniuses are feared and heroes are ostracized. This is indeed the consistent style of Konoha's top management. "

Orochimaru kept probing.

"Mr. Orochimaru is worrying too much. I wonder where you are going with this outfit?" Qianhe shook his head, not wanting to have an in-depth discussion with Orochimaru on this issue.

"Me? I am..."

"Orochimaru! It's time to go!"

Orochimaru looked like he was not going to hide anything and was about to tell Qianhe the truth, but Scorpio, who was waiting impatiently, urged him and did not let him continue.

"Sorry, Qianhe-kun, I have to leave." Orochimaru looked reluctant, as if he was about to say goodbye to his friend.

"Then I'll see you next time, Mr. Orochimaru." Qianhe stood up and nodded with a smile.

Scorpion on the side said in a deep voice to Orochimaru who came to him: "You are not still in contact with the previous village. If you dare to leak the secret, I will kill you!"

"Haha." Orochimaru smiled faintly and said nothing.

Before leaving, Xie turned his head and glanced at Qianhe, but for some unknown reason, although he warned Orochimaru, he did not take action against Qianhe.

After watching Orochimaru leave, Qianhe also gave up his plan to stay one night and prepared to go back to the village directly.

That evening, he received a notification from the communication frog, saying that Jiraiya was going to the Kingdom of Water and asked Qianhe to bring a piece of information back to Konoha.

Even though Qian Hedang thought of Jiraiya, he was also following the traces of Orochimaru. It seemed that they had made a big move to the Kingdom of Water.

...

Since there was information to send, Qianhe directly transferred through the space of reverse channeling and returned to Konoha in advance. He came to the office of the Third Hokage and handed the scroll to him.

After reading the scroll, Sandai frowned, then he put the scroll aside and said:

"Qianhe, thank you for your hard work on this mission."

"I'm really ashamed. There's basically nothing gained from this mission. Please forgive me, Lord Third."

Faced with Qianhe's polite and distant answer, Sandai didn't care at all and continued:

"I was supposed to let you rest for a few days, but now there is a particularly difficult task that requires your help."

Qian He was stunned for a moment and asked, "What mission?"

"Yesterday, the shrine maiden from the Kingdom of Oni asked for help from the five major nations, saying that monsters from other worlds appeared in their country. If the monsters are not sealed, the entire ninja world will be destroyed, so they need the help of the five major nations.

Yesterday, the village sent a team to support, but because Kakashi and Shisui were sent out on missions, and Jiraiya also had other missions, the elite jounin in the village basically couldn't get away and could be used. Not many people.

To be on the safe side, I need you to go there. Do you have any questions? "

When Qian He heard this, he frowned slightly, monster?

He only remembered that the monsters in the original work seemed to appear after Naruto grew up. Why are they there now?

But since it was the third generation's mission, he had no reason to refuse, so he nodded immediately and said:

"Yes! I'm going to prepare now."
