"Why don't we split up?" Hoodlum suggested.
In the darkness, Huai An was silent for a while." You choose first."”
"Then I'll go to the right." Hoodlum said.
"Alright." Huai An nodded and turned to the left.
Hoodlum was stunned.
Until the footsteps were far away.
"Shouldn't he say that he wants to go to my side instead?”Hoodlum was confused.
"Maybe he's smarter than you."
Huai An didn't think too much about it. Hoodlum probably wanted him to fight Orochimaru, so he observed in the dark. Then, no matter which path he chose, the other party would have a way to not show up.
Orochimaru could sense him, but he might not be able to sense Hoodlum, so he would eventually find him.
Since that was the case, he might as well show his face.
It was just a storage ring. Orochimaru would not be stingy with it, because his hiding place had already been exposed.
Of course, the premise was that the other party was indeed hiding here.
According to Huai An's guess, Orochimaru should be hiding in Yinnin Village, or in an extremely well-hidden lair.
He did not get Sasuke before, so he had to switch to someone else's body.
If Huai An remembered correctly, it should have been two years. During these two years, no matter what Orochimaru's purpose was, he was grooming Sasuke and completely disappeared without a trace. No one could find him.
In fact, thinking about it from another perspective, Orochimaru had been separated from Akatsuki for so long. No matter how Akatsuki's organization tried to hunt him down, they could not even catch his shadow. This was enough to show how cautious Orochimaru was and how good he was at hiding.
Then, how could Hoodlum find him so coincidentally at this time?
Huai An thought quietly as he walked along the dark pathway. Was it because of him that Hoodlum happened to find traces of Orochimaru while he was searching for him?
Although this was a coincidence, it did not mean that it was impossible. After all, Orochimaru was injured and was in a hurry to return to the base for treatment. He might have missed something when covering his tracks.
……
In the dark tunnel, there was only the sound of their footsteps.
"So, Orochimaru isn't here?”Huai An said indifferently.
"Ah, maybe my information was wrong.”" Damn it," Hoodlum said angrily." It's such a secret place, but there's nothing."”
Huai An did not say anything and walked quietly.
"Are you angry?" Hoodlum asked.
"No, I haven't."
"Is he studying the Wood Escape Technique here?" Huai An asked," In that jar, there was a dead child covered in sawdust.“
Hoodlum was stunned. He scratched his chin." Is that so? I don't have it on my side."”
"Ah, Orochimaru has researched too many things. There are both dead and living people, so it's not surprising that he has the Wood Escape Technique.”Hoodlum said nonchalantly.
Huai An said," The long-lost Wood Evasion has power that far surpasses the limits of other ninjutsu types. If Orochimaru's transplant is successful, coupled with his brain, it will be very difficult to deal with."”
" It's not that easy to transplant Wood Escape," Hoodlum said in a relaxed tone." Even Orochimaru can't do it."”
"Do you want to take a look at that jar?”"Isn't this level of research enough to alert us?" Huai An asked.”
"Are you thinking for the organization?" Hoodlum asked in surprise.”
"Obviously." "Orochimaru is a strong opponent. If you want to get the ring back from him, you have to understand him."”
These words were all polite words. He was completely pretending to be confused. He wanted to let the people around him believe that he really did not think too much.
"We'll see." Hoodlum mumbled.
They only tried a little. As for why and what they saw, it didn't seem to matter. Neither of them mentioned it again.
The entrance was right in front of them, and they quickly walked out.
"Looks like it won't be easy to find Orochimaru.”Hoodlum changed the topic.
"Then you swore that he was here.”Huai 'an is appropriate to tear down the stage.
Hoodlum sighed, feeling very disappointed." I didn't expect that there would be a day where I misjudged the information.”
Then, he punched hard again as if to cheer himself on." But it's different now. With you, I believe that I won't make a mistake next time!”
Huai An quietly watched his performance.
"So what's next?" "Where are we going next?" he asked.”
Hoodlum looked at the darkening sky and said,""Do you think Orochimaru has returned to Yinren Village?”
Huai An thought for a moment." We'll only know when we get there.”
Hoodlum seemed to be considering.
The wind blew from the horizon, bringing with it a faint chill. It turned faint and there was a hint of moisture in it. A small drizzle suddenly fell.
"Alright, then let's go to Yinren Village.”Hoodlum clapped his hands." This time, we can't miss again!”
Huai An raised his head slightly. Raindrops slid down his cheeks. The sky in Qing Ming was a little low, and the sun could not be seen.
……
Even though he had thought of several scenarios when he came, it was inevitable that he would be disappointed when he really failed.
After a few days of futile efforts, Orochimaru was not here. Moreover, he heard that Koba's men had come not long ago.
"Is this the Windfiend clan?"
Hoodlum stood on the roof and looked at the patrolling ninjas. He was surprised."The clan that was rumored to have declined has actually slowly risen.”
Huai An did not have much of an impression of this part of the story. He only heard from the news that the legendary Sanren had gone to Yinren Village. At that time, many people saw a huge toad and a huge battle broke out.
However, it didn't sound like a battle between Yukiya and Orochimaru. If Yukiya really caught up to Orochimaru, Orochimaru definitely wouldn't be his match.
Moreover, with Orochimaru's personality, he would have escaped when he heard the news.
As for the rescued Wind Demon Clan, Huai An had no interest in hearing about their history.
"Let's go." he said.
"Don't, we're already here. After walking for so many days, we're exhausted. I need to rest for a while!”Hoodlum shouted.
Hoodlum stretched and said,""I'm going to soak in the hot spring tonight and have a big meal. You're treating!”
"Why me?" Huai An glanced over.
"You promised to treat me to a big meal.”
"When?"
"Just once."
"I don't remember. Maybe next time."
"No, no!" Hoodlum shouted.
Huai An felt a little helpless and a little embarrassed as he took out a shriveled purse. There were only a few stubborn coins lying at the bottom.
Hoodlum looked at it and was stunned." Why are you so poor?”
Huai An's mouth twitched. It was fine as long as he knew the truth in his heart. It would hurt him if he said it in front of him. Xiao Nan, that old woman, didn't give him any salary. In the past, he had an older brother, so he didn't have to worry about money.
