Three days later, Yixin and Xiaonan arrived at a secret gathering point of Xiao, which was located on the western border of the Country of Fire and adjacent to the Country of Rain. The leaders of Xiao, Peien Nagato and Orochimaru, were both there.
However, Yixin did not see any other members of Xiao here. It made sense. They were either not joining or were carrying out Xiao's mission outside.
Under Xiao Nan's recommendation, Yixin met the leader, Pei En. He looked exactly like the one in the manga. It was hard to tell that he was already dead just by looking at his new appearance. Ichishin was sizing up Pei En (or more accurately, Yaehiko's corpse).
Payne was also looking at Yixin with his Reincarnation Eyes. Then, he frowned slightly as if he had seen something, and then released his expression to restore his " ice face."
When he was stared at by Peien's Reincarnation Eyes, Yixin felt as if he had been seen through." As expected of the strongest eyes. It seems like Pei En has already seen through my human puppet body," Yi Xin thought.
Payne didn't tell him about the new body (as expected of a leader, he knew how to keep secrets for his subordinates). Instead, he said directly,""Welcome to Xiao. From now on, you are a member of Xiao, codename 'Yu'."
Then, he handed a new white ring with the word 'jade' written on it.
Ichishin put the ring on his left thumb (this was a tribute to the scorpion in the manga), and then, just like in the original novel, Payne asked Orochimaru to be Ichishin's partner.
At this moment, Orochimaru, who had been standing behind Pei En and dressed up like Akatsuki, walked out and greeted Yixin.
Seeing Orochimaru Ishin made her feel uncomfortable! On the way here, Yixin had asked Xiao Nan about it. How did she find his problem? Hence, Minami told him about Orochimaru spying on him in the Land of River.
Yixin was shocked! He began to recall what happened in the Land of the River, but there was no trace of Orochimaru in Scorpion's memory.
In other words, Orochimaru had been monitoring 'me' ever since the Scorpion destroyed the Kingdom of River, and he had been collecting the remains of the third generation Windshade when I became a Scorpion?!
In other words, he even knew where his secret base, Orochimaru, was located in the Land of the River! He wondered if Orochimaru had gone in while he was away.
Although he had left some anti-theft devices at the entrance of the base, they should not be able to stop an expert like Orochimaru.
It seemed that he had to go back and check it out. Although there was nothing too important in the base, he could not afford to lose the 'small stone' that he had obtained from the third generation Windshade!
This small stone had great uses in the future, so he couldn't let Orochimaru steal it.
Being stared at by Orochimaru's 'snake eyes' didn't convince Yixin. It was as if he was his test subject, which made Yixin very unhappy.
Thus, Ishin decided to give Orochimaru a warning.""I heard that you're looking for the sword! I wonder how many have you found?"
(Yixin had already figured it out. The reason why Orochimaru was spying on him must be for this. That's why he deliberately mentioned it to disgust him.)
When Orochimaru heard Ichishin mention the sword, a greedy look rose in his eyes, but it disappeared. He put on a puzzled expression and asked Ichishin what he meant.
"Nothing!" Yixin said deliberately. It just so happens that I have one here. I wonder if you want it?”
Orochimaru understood that Yixin had seen through his intentions, so he didn't hide it anymore and said,""State your conditions!" "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll talk to you when I think of what I want!”
After hearing Yixin's words, Orochimaru's eyes flashed with a bright light, and he immediately hid his laughter and said,"
The reason why Yixin made the matter of the sword clear was to prevent Orochimaru from playing tricks. Although Yixin was not afraid now, he also found it troublesome.
Moreover, Yixin was planning to get reverse regeneration and cell cultivation techniques from Orochimaru. It would be best if he could exchange them for a Tenbu-ryu that he had no use for.
However, Orochimaru's sinister nature could not be ignored. After all, he was the only person who had successfully escaped from Akatsuki and survived.
(Ishin didn't know that Orochimaru not only wanted Tenbu-Ryu but also Super Ninjutsu. Unfortunately, Ishin didn't have it.)
After Yixin and Orochimaru finished their 'pleasantries,' Pei En asked Xiao Nan to give Yixin Xiao's black robe with red clouds. From their conversation, Pei En and Xiao Nan understood why Orochimaru strongly recommended Yixin to join Xiao.
But that was not important! It was fine as long as they could work for Xiao.
After wearing the black red cloud robe, Ichishin became a member of Akatsuki and became a partner with Orochimaru, whose code name was Kong.
However, Yixin did not expect Xiao to be so active. Yixin had just joined and Xiao's mission had already been given.
