Chapter 224 Orochimaru and Kabuto reappear
Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu watched Orochimaru and Kabuto with amusement and amusement.
The two were experiencing a complex emotional shift, their initial calm demeanor gradually turning into shock, and then revealing a deep sense of lingering fear.
It turns out that Orochimaru and Kabuto had spent countless hours researching and experimenting before finally succeeding in creating the red energy transmission port.
This teleportation portal is no ordinary portal; it possesses the powerful ability to transport even a Shadow-level (King-level) powerhouse.
The two exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming with determination, and immediately decided to embark on another journey to the world of pirates.
They harbored two objectives: first, to wash away the humiliation they suffered three years ago on this land at the hands of Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu.
Secondly, and more importantly, a momentous event has occurred in the ninja world that could change the landscape, and they need to cooperate with Minos.
After some twists and turns, the two arrived at the island of Serbia through the red energy transfer portal.
However, when they set foot on this land and sensed the aura emanating from Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu, they froze on the spot, speechless.
Cheng Xiaoyu and Minos exuded the powerful aura of mid-level King, and that boundless power rushed towards them like a surging tide, leaving Orochimaru and Kabuto at a loss for what to do.
Looking back three years ago, they were the peak of the Shadow level, but now, only three years later, Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu have reached the intermediate level of the Super Shadow level.
This is really unreasonable, isn't it? (◣_◢)
As for themselves, although they occasionally cultivated during these three years, their progress was minimal, remaining at the initial stage of the Super Shadow realm with almost no significant changes.
This enormous gap left Orochimaru and Kabuto with mixed feelings, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside them.
However, to their surprise, Minos did not make things difficult for them. Instead, he invited them into the castle again with a faint smile on his face.
Orochimaru and Kabuto exchanged a glance. Although they were full of doubts, they still followed him with a heavy heart.
Stepping into the castle, the interior is luxuriously decorated yet mysterious, with various strange paintings hanging on the walls, shimmering with an enigmatic light.
However, Orochimaru and Kabuto were not in the mood to appreciate any of this; their hearts were filled with unease.
Just then, something shocking and frightening happened to them.
The atmosphere in the castle's hall suddenly became oppressive.
If, in their understanding, the peak strength of Hundred Flame Monarch, Sharp Fang Monarch, and others was the peak of King-level (Super Shadow), then the Destruction Monarch Dragon Emperor who appeared before them at this moment had reached the peak of God-level strength.
That powerful, suffocating aura made Orochimaru and Kabuto feel as if they were instantly plunged into an endless abyss of darkness, with fear following them everywhere.
They had just walked through the gates of hell, and the feeling of being on the verge of death left them with lingering fear.
This explains the shocked and frightened expressions on Orochimaru and Kabuto's faces as they looked at the Dragon Emperor. (Continued from the end of the previous chapter.)
……
Looking at the silent, pale-faced Orochimaru and Kabuto, Minos broke the silence with a hint of mockery in his eyes: "You two haven't seen each other for three years, and you seem a little surprised by our changes?"
Minos's voice echoed in the empty hall, carrying a hint of mockery.
Orochimaru slowly stuck out his long tongue and said in a low voice, "Mi-kun, I didn't expect that you would give me such a huge surprise after only three years. You really are mysterious!"
Orochimaru's eyes revealed a hint of resentment and envy.
"Haha, Orochimaru! You flatter us. We've only gotten a little bit stronger."
"Hmph, this isn't as simple as just getting stronger. If I remember correctly, back then it was just you and the Shadow King, right?"
Orochimaru frowned slightly, a scrutinizing look in his eyes. "Now, several powerful individuals have appeared, and one of them is even at the Six Paths level? Mi-kun, you've kept this from me for quite a while!"
After speaking, Orochimaru first gave the Dragon Emperor a solemn look, his eyes filled with awe, before shifting his gaze to Minos, who had a mocking expression.
Minos remained unmoved by Orochimaru's pitiful words, secretly sneering to himself.
He knew all too well that Orochimaru was like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, always plotting against others.
If Orochimaru thinks he can get information about the Dragon Emperor and others from him by playing the emotional card, then he is simply delusional.
Thinking of this, Minos's gaze sharpened, and he coldly said, "Orochimaru, let's put everything else aside for now. I just want to know why you two suddenly came to the ninja world again, and what your intentions are!"
"Mi Jun, you're really impatient! I've only just arrived and haven't even had a sip of hot tea, yet you want me to confess honestly. Mi Jun, you're really heartless!"
Orochimaru tried to change the subject, but a hint of panic was visible in his eyes.
However, after he finished speaking, he carefully observed Minos's face and found that Minos was unmoved and showed no signs of being touched.
This disappointed Orochimaru, who knew that there was no point in delaying any longer. In the end, he had no choice but to say, "Mi-kun, of course something big has happened, otherwise why would I come to such a frightening place?"
"Ok?"
Minos was slightly surprised upon hearing Orochimaru's words. He thought to himself, "The big event Orochimaru mentioned must be a major event happening in the ninja world!"
But Orochimaru once said that a great change had occurred in the ninja world, so what could possibly happen now?
Thinking of this, Minos looked at Orochimaru's seemingly genuine expression and said calmly, "Orochimaru, just tell me what major event happened in the ninja world. Otherwise, I don't believe you would come to this pirate world for no reason."
Orochimaru chuckled softly, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes: "Mi-kun, you really do know me well?"
He paused deliberately, whetting Minos's appetite: "Actually, your pirate world has been exposed, and now the ninja army is preparing to attack your pirate world!"
After saying this, he stared intently at Minos, trying to catch any change in Minos's expression and see how he would react.
Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Minos was immediately filled with shock and his eyes widened in astonishment.
If he heard correctly, Orochimaru said, "Their pirate world has been exposed, and now the ninja army is preparing to attack the pirate world?"
This sudden news left Minos somewhat bewildered. Confusion and bewilderment appeared on his face. He really couldn't understand how he had been exposed so suddenly!
Suddenly, Minos saw Orochimaru's smiling face and immediately understood.
This matter is definitely related to Orochimaru and Kabuto. Thinking this, Minos's gaze sharpened, a chill creeping into his eyes as he stared intently at Orochimaru, and he said in a deep voice, "Orochimaru, this matter is probably related to the two of you!"
After speaking, Minos's gaze lingered on Orochimaru for a moment, as if trying to see right through him, before slowly shifting to Kabuto. The meaning was clear: these two were definitely behind it. (⌒▽⌒)
Orochimaru smiled mysteriously at Minos's words but did not reply.
However, Orochimaru's Kabuto adjusted his glasses, trying to appear more composed, and said calmly, "Lord Minos, you've misunderstood us this time. It really wasn't us who leaked it."
Orochi Kabuto frowned slightly, seemingly recalling the scene: "Back then, after we returned to the ninja world, none of us expected the energy fluctuations to be so powerful. We were immediately discovered by those Six Paths level shinobi." His voice carried a hint of helplessness and frustration.
"So, we were captured and interrogated by them. Although Obito Uchiha tried his best to stop us, it was to no avail."
Orochimaru continued, a bitter look on his face: "So, everything was exposed just like that. And Orochimaru, Obito, and I almost got judged by the other Six Paths Warriors."
"If it weren't for Uchiha Madara and Indra being so interested in the pirate world..."
Orochimaru paused, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes. "Then, it's possible that, apart from Obito Uchiha, Lord Orochimaru and I have already been punished."
Minos listened to Orochimaru's explanation with skepticism. He knew that Orochimaru and Orochimaru were both cunning and treacherous, and it was difficult to completely trust their words.
But the current situation doesn't allow him much time to think. The pirate world is facing an attack from the ninja army, which is no small matter.
The most important powerful figures in the pirate world were almost all eliminated a month ago. Now, facing the ninja army, the pirate world is simply no match for them.
Moreover, with so many Six Paths level powerhouses in the ninja world, what can the pirate world use to stop them?
Is Minos about to become the savior of the pirate world? (◣_◢)
Could this be the chance to officially become a permanent employee? (◣_◢)
