The reason why Hyōjin hurriedly returned to the island where he left Sasuke is because he is worried about Sasuke wandering alone in the shinobi world. Although Sasuke's current strength isn't weak, if he really encountered Akatsuki or Otsutsuki Samurai, it would be difficult for him to protect himself.
Secondly, he needs to go back to the village.
After deciding on the location of the ceremony, all that's left is to spend money.
However, Hyōjin doesn't have any money on hand right now. When Akatsuki launched the last attack, he spent all the money he could just in case, so now he needs to raise a sum of money for the enchantment around the ceremony.
As for the source of the money, Kuroto has already considered it.
The last time he dealt with Akatsuki's attack, the five great shinobi villages agreed to pay a commission to Amatsukami, plus the compensation from the village pretending to be Amatsukami, these two sums of money should be enough to cover all the expenses needed for the ceremony.
This is also the reason why he temporarily changed the Fire Release Clone.
After all, it would be too shameful to let Yama, who is mistaken by the public to be an immortal, personally deal with this matter.
Suijin had a grudge with Muye and Kumo during the incident of Kumo kidnapping Hinata. Wind Chime rolled her eyes in front of Kuroto, Ksitigarbha couldn't explain the origin of the Dust Release to Iwamakure, and Kirin is involved in the relationship between Amatsukami and the Mist.
In addition, when Hyōjin took the initiative to talk to the village about cooperation, he used the identity of Homusubi. The last time Itachi and Hyōjin played a two-man show in front of the village, they also used the identity of Homusubi, so it is most appropriate for him to use the identity of Homusubi to ask for money.
In addition, in addition to the debt, Hyōjin also has another purpose in returning to the village, and that is to ask Guy about the method to open the seventh gate of the Eight Inner Gates, the Gate of Wonder.
Kuroto feels that Guy should be able to open the seventh gate by now.
According to the trajectory of Guy's life in the original timeline, Guy will have the ability to open the Eighth Gate of Death at any time during the Fourth Shinobi War.
This undoubtedly shows that Guy has already mastered the seventh Gate of Wonder for a long time before the Fourth Shinobi War, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to open the eighth Gate of Death so smoothly.
Hyōjin was not arrogant, nor did he have the intention to compare himself with others. In his opinion, if there was a problem that he could not understand, he should humbly ask others for advice.
After a long time, Hyōjin returned to the island and secretly monitored Sasuke who was returning to the Nation of Fire by boat.
After a few days, Sasuke successfully disembarked and returned to the Nation of Fire.
However, as soon as Sasuke stepped into the territory of the Country of Fire, he was blocked by a group of people that Hyōjin didn't expect.
In the forest.
Sasuke indifferently looked at Orochi Maru who blocked his way, as well as Kimimaro, Haku, Jugo, and Yamato who were standing behind Orochi Maru, and said indifferently, "Kimimaro, so you are the subordinates of Orochi Maru, no wonder you have been looking for trouble with me over and over again."
Sasuke is not stupid, seeing the four ninjas standing respectfully behind Orochi Maru, he immediately understood why the ninjas targeted him during the Chunin Exam, and also guessed that the person behind the ninjas is likely to be one of the three sannin of Muye, Orochi Maru.
This is not difficult to speculate, because Orochi Maru once sneaked into Uchiha's mansion and kidnapped him when he was still a child, so he is very clear about Orochi Maru's desire for him.
Looking at Sasuke's indifferent expression, as if he didn't put them and others in his eyes, Orochi Maru slowly pulled out a long sword, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and said with a hoarse smile in his unique voice, "As expected of the genius of the Uchiha Family, even after meeting me, you still don't panic."
Sasuke put one hand on his waist and glanced at Orochi Maru with disdain, "Orochi Maru, you'd better not mess with me, I may not control my strength and accidentally kill you."
Hyōjin, who was hiding not far away and watching Sasuke all the way, couldn't help but laugh, and said to himself, "When you speak, it's the old Sasuke."
When Orochi Maru became famous as one of the three sannin of Muye, Sasuke was not yet born.
But now Sasuke, facing a strong person like Orochi Maru, showed an attitude of not even bothering to pay attention to him. Not to mention Orochi Maru, even Hyōjin, a bystander, couldn't stand it.
Sure enough, as soon as Sasuke's voice fell, the four ninjas standing behind Orochi Maru all showed anger on their faces.
"Hey …"
Orochi Maru sneered, but his eyes did not stay on Sasuke. Instead, they moved to where Hyōjin was hiding in the distance.
Seeing that Orochi Maru had discovered him, Hyōjin no longer hid. He directly stood on the branch of a big tree, openly watching the confrontation between Orochi Maru and Sasuke.
When Sasuke saw Hyōjin appear with the Fire Release Clone, his face immediately lit up.
Orochi Maru licked his lips and said, "Fire Demon? Looks like your Amatsukami has also set its eyes on Uchiha Sasuke! "
Hyōjin didn't say anything, he just leaned on the tree trunk and silently observed the scene.
On the surface, it is difficult for him to judge whether Orochi Maru is currently using the body of Yakushoku or some other body. Anyway, in the vision of Byakugan, the Chakra reaction in Orochi Maru's body is very strong, indicating that this body has enough Chakra's amount.
Another thing that attracted Hyōjin's attention was the long sword in Orochi Maru's hand.
If he remembers correctly, this simple and exquisite long sword should be the Kusanagi sword that Sasuke is used to use in the original space and time. Watching Orochi Maru holding the Kusanagi sword and looking for Sasuke who has just obtained the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Kuroto suddenly had a ridiculous feeling in his heart, "Is this considered sending a sword to my door?"
Then, Hyōjin moved his gaze to Haku behind Orochi Maru.
Judging from Orochi Maru's current reaction, it is obvious that Haku didn't report to Orochi Maru that he is the leader of Amatsukami, 'Yama', after returning to the Sound Village.
Of course, Haku probably didn't do this to protect Hyōjin, but to protect Orochi Maru.
Perhaps Haku knows that with Orochimaru's personality, once he learns that his disciple is the leader of Amatsukami, Orochimaru, he will most likely do something dangerous, so in order to protect Orochimaru, Haku chose to hide it.
Hyōjin's appearance obviously disrupted Orochi Maru's deployment.
Kuroto pondered for a moment, then immediately ordered the four ninjas standing behind him, "You go and stall Homusubi, I will personally deal with Uchiha and Sasuke!"
The four Shinobi quickly responded, and with a flash, they surrounded Suijin who was standing on the branch of the tree.
At this time, Orochi Maru focused his attention on Sasuke and said with a smile, "Now let me see how much of a genius Uchiha is worth!"
