While Konan was still having a headache about Hiruko's matter, in another underground chamber of the Akatsuki's base, Zetsu's doppelganger, who had just returned from Muye, was reporting the conditions proposed by Hyōjin and Itachi to Obsidian and Zetsu.
"Oh, it seems that I have underestimated him!"
Listening to Zetsu's doppelganger's report, Obsidian chuckled while looking at Zetsu's right arm that was cut off, but his face was calm as usual. It seems that he was just a little surprised by Hyōjin's action.
Zetsu asked, "Should we agree to their conditions?"
Obsidian thought for a while with his chin in his hand and said, "If we don't agree to their conditions, I'm afraid they won't be able to collect information about Amatsukami for us."
Zetsu asked again, "Should we release those two children together?"
Obsidian nodded and said, "Well, let's release them together. Anyway, these two children are useless in our hands."
Sasuke and Ningci fell into the hands of Akatsuki at the same time, which is a well-known fact, so it's either release them together or release them together, otherwise, they won't be able to appease two informants at the same time.
The Mist Squad that raided Orochi Maru's hideout not long ago just sent back a message saying that their raid failed. They didn't find any trace of Nine Tails's Jinchuriki in Orochi Maru's hideout. And with this raid, the exchange of hostages between Akatsuki and Orochi Maru naturally fell through, so Sasuke and Ningci are useless to Akatsuki.
Using two children who have lost their usefulness to appease two informants who can gather information about Amatsukami is a good deal in Obsidian's view.
"Well, I'll arrange it now!"
With that, Zetsu dived into the ground.
Inside Orochi Maru's base.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Zetsu respectfully saluted Orochi Maru who just returned from Muye: "Orochi Maru -sama!"
"Did anything happen while I was away?"
Orochi Maru asked casually as he walked into the cave.
Uchiha wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "Shortly after you left, the Akatsuki raided this place. In order to prevent Naruto from being taken away by them, I took Naruto and Hinata to hide in the Ryuchi Cave."
Orochi Maru suddenly stopped walking toward the cave. His snake-like eyes stared at Doudou and asked in a low voice, "What did you say? You entered the Ryuchi Cave?"
"Yes!"
Under the gaze of Orochi Maru, Dou lowered his head, feeling uneasy.
Although it was permitted by Orochi Maru to retreat into the Ryuchi Cave to hide when encountering a strong enemy, Orochi Maru had never allowed Naruto to practice immortality in the Ryuchi Cave. Therefore, Dou was worried that he would be punished by Orochi Maru for acting on his own initiative.
After a while, Orochi Maru withdrew his gaze and continued to walk toward the cave. He asked, "What did you do in the Ryuchi Cave?"
Dou followed Orochi Maru step by step and recounted their experience in the Ryuchi Cave from beginning to end. But when Ichikurashima Hime taught Naruto immortality, Dou could not be a bystander. Therefore, he only knew that Naruto seemed to have mastered immortality, but he did not know the whole process of Naruto practicing immortality.
Listening to Dou's narration, the corners of Orochi Maru's mouth curled up, revealing a playful smile. Obviously, Naruto's experience in the Ryuchi Cave had aroused his interest.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the cave. They saw Naruto sitting cross-legged on the ground, scratching his ears and cheeks as he muttered, "How could this be? Wasn't it possible before? "
Dou said to Orochi Maru speechlessly, "Lord Orochi Maru, this is the situation."
The reason why Dou told Orochi Maru that Naruto seemed to have mastered immortality was because in the Ryuchi Cave, not only did Naruto claim to have mastered immortality, but even Ichikurashima Hime, who was responsible for teaching Naruto, clearly said that Naruto had mastered immortality. But for some unknown reason, once they left the Ryuchi Cave, Naruto could not enter 'immortality mode' no matter what.
This made Dou have a whole new understanding of Naruto's' unreliability '. It even gave him an unreliable impression of Ichikurashima Hime, who was responsible for teaching Naruto immortality.
Orochi Maru stepped forward and carefully observed Naruto for a while. Then, he asked Naruto a few more questions and smiled.
Dou asked doubtfully, "Lord Orochi Maru, have you found the problem?"
Orochi Maru glanced at Dou and explained, "The foundation of immortality is the natural energy that is dispersed in the air. Jugo has accumulated too much natural energy in his body, so he has the ability to communicate with birds and beasts. And the reason why Naruto cannot enter 'immortality mode' should be that he has not absorbed enough natural energy. "
Unlike Dou, who had experienced all kinds of shocks and influences in the Ryuchi Cave, Orochi Maru, as a bystander, had a more objective way of thinking. Coupled with his many years of research on Jugo and natural energy, he quickly discovered the reason why Naruto could not enter 'immortality mode' after leaving the Ryuchi Cave.
After listening to Orochi Maru's explanation, Dou suddenly understood.
Dou knew Jugo very well, so he knew the origin of Jugo's mutation, and he also knew that the concentration of natural energy in the Ryuchi Cave was much higher than that of the outside world. It was just that he had encountered too many things in the Ryuchi Cave that had subverted his worldview and rendered him speechless. So, his thoughts were a little chaotic, and he could not immediately notice this point.
After sorting out his thoughts, Dou asked, "So, Naruto has really mastered immortality?"
The smile on Orochi Maru's face disappeared, and he said in a deep voice, "Yes, I can't believe that this little guy, who can't even learn 'Body Splitting Technique', can actually master immortality!"
Dou was overjoyed, "That's great, with Naruto, we can see the true face of immortality."
Orochi Maru shook his head, "These two kids need to be handed over to the Danzō immediately."
Dou was shocked, "What!?"
"Don't worry, we're just handing them over to the Danzō temporarily." After patting Dou's shoulder, Orochi Maru smiled and said, "Go and make the arrangements, and make sure to put on a good show for Shinichi, as if he was rescued by the Danzō. In addition, tell Naruto not to easily reveal the fact that he's practicing immortality. "
Guessing that Orochi Maru and the Danzō have some kind of agreement, Dou did not say anything more, and quickly nodded.
Half a day later.
Boom!
Continuous explosions echoed in the valley.
The Danzō took the lead, leading a group of Root ninjas to attack the Orochi Maru base in the valley. After killing more than ten base guards, they rescued Naruto and Hinata who were temporarily transferred here.
Looking at the ferocious looking Root ninjas, Naruto was confused, he didn't understand the situation at all, Hinata was even more scared and shivered, hiding behind Naruto.
Danzō indifferently glanced at the two nervous children, and then loudly announced, "Nine Tails' Jinchuriki rescue successful!"
