While Xiaonan was still having a headache about Beiliuhu, in another underground secret room of Akatsuki's organization base, the clone of Baize, who had just returned from Konoha, was reporting to Obito and Zetsu the conditions proposed by Hyuga Kyou and Itachi.
"Oh, it seems that I underestimated him a little bit!"
Listening to the narration of Baijue's clone, looking at the severed right arm of Baijue's clone, Obito chuckled lightly, but the expression on his face was as usual, as if he was just a little surprised by Hyuga Kyou's actions.
Jue asked on the side: "Shall we agree to their conditions?"
Obito rested his chin on his hand and considered for a while, then said, "If we don't agree to them, I'm afraid they won't feel at ease to collect information about God's organization for us."
Jue asked again: "The two children will be released together?"
Obito nodded and said: "Well, let's put them together, anyway, these two children are useless in our hands."
It is well known that Sasuke and Neji fell into the hands of the Akatsuki organization at the same time, so either one should not be released, or they should be released together, otherwise, it is impossible to appease the two informants at the same time.
And the Wu team who raided Orochimaru's hideout not long ago just sent back a message that their raid failed this time, and they were in vain. And with this raid, the hostage exchange between the Akatsuki organization and Orochimaru naturally fell through, so Sasuke and Neji had no effect on the Akatsuki organization.
Using two children who have lost their functions to appease the two informants who can inquire about the intelligence of the God Organization, this deal is not a bad deal in Obito's opinion.
"Okay, I'll arrange it now!"
Saying that, Jue sneaked into the ground.
...
Inside the base of Orochimaru.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, he respectfully saluted Orochimaru who had just returned from Konoha: "Master Orochimaru!"
"During the days I was away, nothing happened, right?"
Orochimaru asked casually as he walked towards the cave.
Wiping the fine sweat from his forehead, he pondered his words and said, "Not long after you left, the Akatsuki organization raided here. In order to prevent Naruto from being taken away by them, I had no choice but to take Naruto and Hinata to hide in the Ryuji Cave."
Orochimaru suddenly stopped walking towards the cave, staring at the pocket with snake-like eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "What did you say, you entered the Ryūji Cave?"
"Yes!"
Under Orochimaru's gaze, Dou lowered his head, feeling uneasy in his heart.
When encountering a strong enemy, retreating into the Ryūji Cave to escape, although it is allowed by Orochimaru, but Orochimaru has never allowed Naruto to practice immortality in the Ryūji Cave, so Dou is a little worried that he will be punished by Orochimaru for his own self-assertion.
After a while, Orochimaru withdrew his gaze, continued to walk towards the cave, and asked, "What did you do in Ryūchi Cave?"
Dodo followed behind Orochimaru step by step, and told their experience in Ryūchi Cave from beginning to end. It was just that when Ichikijima Hime taught Naruto's sage art, Dou was not able to watch, so he only knew that Naruto seemed to have mastered sage art, but he didn't know the whole process of Naruto's practice of sage art.
Listening to Dou's narration, the corners of Orochimaru's mouth slanted up, showing a playful smile. Obviously, Naruto's experience in Ryuji Cave aroused his interest.
Soon the two came to the cave and saw Naruto sitting cross-legged on the ground, scratching his ears and muttering, "How could this be? It was possible before?"
Dou said to Dashewan a little speechlessly: "Master Dashewan, this is the situation."
The reason why Dodo told Orochimaru just now that Naruto suspected that he had mastered sage art was because not only Naruto claimed to have learned sage art when he was in Ryūchi Cave, but even Ichikijima Hime, who was in charge of guiding him, also clearly stated that Naruto had mastered sage art. But for some reason, Naruto couldn't enter the 'immortal mode' as soon as he got out of Ryuji Cave.
This had to give Dou a new understanding of Naruto's "unreliability", and even made him have an unreliable impression of Ichikijima Hime, who is in charge of guiding Naruto's sage art.
Orochimaru stepped forward and observed Naruto carefully for a while, then asked Naruto a few more questions, and then smiled.
Dou asked puzzledly: "Master Oshemaru, have you found out the crux of the problem?"
Orochimaru glanced at the bag and explained: "The basis of immortal art is the natural energy dissipated in the air. It is because of the accumulation of too much natural energy in the body that Chongwu gained the ability to communicate with birds and beasts. The reason why Naruto could not enter the 'sage mode' should be because the natural energy he absorbed was not sufficient enough."
Unlike Dou, who experienced various impacts and influences during his trip to Ryūji Cave, Orochimaru, as a bystander, has a more objective way of thinking. Coupled with his years of research on Shigego and natural energy, he quickly discovered the reason why Naruto could not enter the "sage mode" after leaving Ryūji Cave.
After listening to Orochimaru's explanation, Dou suddenly realized.
Dou also knows Chongwu very well, so he knows the origin of Chongwu's body mutation, and therefore knows that the concentration of natural energy in Longdi Cave is far higher than that of the outside world. It's just that he encountered too many things in Longdi Cave that subverted his three views and left him speechless, so his thoughts were a little confused, and he couldn't be keenly aware of this at the first time.
After sorting out his thoughts, Dou asked, "So, did Naruto really master the celestial arts?"
Orochimaru put away the smile on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I really didn't expect this little guy who can't even learn the 'separation technique', to be able to master the fairy technique!"
Dou said happily: "This is great, with Naruto, we can get a glimpse of the true face of Xianshu."
Orochimaru shook his head: "These two children will be handed over to Danzo immediately."
Dou was taken aback: "What!?"
"Don't worry, it's just handed over to Danzo for the time being." After patting Dou's shoulder, Orochimaru smiled and said, "Go ahead and arrange it. The performance should be more realistic, as if he was rescued by Danzo. In addition, tell Naruto not to reveal the matter of practicing immortal arts so easily."
Guessing that there might be some agreement between Orochimaru and Danzo, Dou stopped talking and nodded quickly.
...
half a day later.
boom...
Continuous explosions echoed in the valley.
Danzo took the lead and led a group of root ninjas into the Orochimaru base in the valley. After killing more than ten base guards, he rescued Naruto and Hinata who were temporarily transferred here.
Looking at the ferocious root ninjas, Naruto looked confused and didn't understand the situation at all. Hinata was even more frightened and shivered, and hid behind Naruto.
Danzo glanced coldly at the two nervous children, and then announced loudly: "Nine-Tails Jinchuriki rescued successfully!"
