Gojo Yoru didn't interact too much with Konan; this was for her own good.
He didn't know what Orochimaru was doing in Amegakure, but he certainly wasn't here for sightseeing.
If Orochimaru caused any disturbance in Amegakure, Gojo Yoru, who came with him, would definitely attract attention, including his interaction with Konan.
So, Gojo Yoru had no intention of getting closer to Konan.
Putting the paper flower into the pocket inside his raincoat, Gojo Yoru continued to wander around Amegakure, occasionally stopping in front of some rain shelters to buy local specialty snacks, stuffing his mouth full like a carefree child.
...
Hanzo the Salamander's residence was located in the core area of Amegakure, but it wasn't a steel building. Instead, it was a tower similar to traditional architecture.
Despite being in the core area, the surroundings of the tower were sparsely populated, like the outskirts.
The biggest highlight of this area was the wide field of view.
Around the tower, there were double-digit numbers of Rain ninjas wearing breathing masks acting as guards, and that was just what could be seen from the outside. Who knew how many were inside the tower?
This showed that even though Hanzo stood at the pinnacle of the Ninja World, he was still very cautious.
Inside the tower, in an empty corridor, the tatami suddenly bulged up like a lump.
Then this lump slowly transformed into a human shape, taking on the appearance of the disguised Orochimaru.
As soon as he appeared, Orochimaru formed seals with both hands, fully releasing his Sensing Technique.
Soon, Orochimaru's expression became extremely serious, and he murmured in his heart: "It's actually true. Now things are really going to get chaotic."
To further confirm, Orochimaru was about to dive underground again to explore the tower.
Drip—
A drop of water suddenly fell from the ceiling, passing through Orochimaru's vision from top to bottom.
The next second, ripples appeared in the space in front of Orochimaru, like a mirage in the desert.
A figure holding a ninja sword slowly solidified from the distortion.
"Phantom Rain... Tokiya."
Orochimaru uttered the person's title and name, and then a crack slowly appeared from his left shoulder to his right waist.
With a splat, Orochimaru's body, split in two, turned into a puddle of mud on the ground.
"Earth Clone... an Iwa ninja?" Tokiya murmured. "Could it be that something unexpected happened with Hanzo-sama?"
While saying this, Tokiya bit his finger without slowing down and formed hand seals.
"Summoning Technique!"
Squatting down and slapping the ground, Tokiya summoned a weirdly shaped rat.
The rat just sniffed the mud left by Orochimaru and burrowed into the ground, disappearing.
A moment later, in groups of three, a total of nine Rain ninjas wearing breathing masks turned into blurs invisible to the naked eye, flying towards the southwest of the tower.
"Such speed..."
Looking at the Rain ninjas using Body Flicker towards his direction, the main body of Orochimaru showed no panic on his face. Instead, he looked relaxed and muttered to himself, "Still haven't sensed that Chakra. It seems he is indeed not in Amegakure."
As long as that big shot standing at the pinnacle of the Ninja World wasn't there, Orochimaru had nothing to fear.
Not only that, Orochimaru even had the idea of using them.
He took out a scroll that fit in one hand from his person, deliberately exposed it to the Rain ninjas' sight, and then used Body Flicker towards the central street of Amegakure.
Gojo Yoru was currently eating a red bean pie. In this backward small place, apart from specialty food, there was really nothing worth buying.
Gojo Yoru didn't even think about bringing souvenirs for Uzumaki Kushina.
He finally knew why the Land of Fire and Konoha became targets for various countries in every Ninja World War.
The resources were simply too good.
Without harsh environments, the Land of Fire, full of trees, had very fresh air. As long as people living there didn't die from war or accidents, their average lifespan was much higher than people in other countries.
Unless they had no choice, the first choice for business people would definitely be to do business in the Land of Fire and Konoha.
While eating the red bean pie, Gojo Yoru continued to wander, feeling even more bored than the dull waiting in uninhabited places.
Waiting in uninhabited places, he at least had Orochimaru's company and could ask this Elite Jonin questions when he encountered things he didn't understand.
Now staying alone in Amegakure, Gojo Yoru didn't know what to do.
Since Orochimaru didn't say whether they would stay overnight in Amegakure, Gojo Yoru couldn't just go to an inn, book a room, take a hot bath, drink tea, eat dango, and enjoy the rain scenery.
Now he could only pass the time by eating, which also fit the persona of a greedy child.
Swish—
At this moment, a harsh sound of breaking air exploded in Gojo Yoru's ear.
"Go!"
The next second, Gojo Yoru's shoulder was grabbed by a hand, and his body was lifted by a huge force, flying onto a rooftop.
Looking at the solemn Orochimaru, Gojo Yoru's heart skipped a beat.
Holy crap, this expression... don't tell me we're being chased by the Demigod?
Quickly taking control of his body to leap, Gojo Yoru glanced behind him. Seeing that only a group of Rain ninjas were chasing them, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he turned his head back, about to say something.
A scroll suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
Orochimaru said with a serious expression, "I'll help you hold off the people behind. You must deliver this intelligence back to the village as fast as possible. Don't stop for a moment."
Stuffing the scroll into Gojo Yoru's hand, Orochimaru landed and immediately turned to face the incoming Rain ninjas, forming seals with both hands: "Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
The ground, wet from rain, immediately liquefied to form a huge earth dragon, roaring towards the group of Rain ninjas.
"Sensei, be careful. I'll wait for your return."
Looking at Orochimaru's moving back figure, Gojo Yoru didn't insist on staying. Leaving a sentence behind, he used Earth Body Flicker to dive underground and quickly left Amegakure.
After traveling an unknown distance and consuming half of his Chakra, Gojo Yoru finally emerged from the ground.
The sky was still covered by thick dark clouds, and the rain curtain shrouded the earth in a white haze. Only some rocky mountains of varying heights could be seen around.
Although he had left Amegakure, he was still within the territory of the Land of Rain.
Gojo Yoru didn't stop for a moment. While continuing to run towards the Land of Fire, he prepared to take out a soldier pill to recover his stamina.
Suddenly, as if seeing something, Gojo Yoru's pupils constricted abruptly.
Too late to take the soldier pill, Gojo Yoru immediately formed seals to disrupt the Chakra flow in his body, simultaneously mobilizing Space-Time Chakra to flood his whole body, ready to enter a state of full-body intangibility at any moment.
Slash—
The moment he formed the seals, Gojo Yoru saw a flash of cold light slashing towards him under the cover of the rain curtain.
