"Okay."

"Well, then you stay in the village for a while."

The Sandai took a puff of cigarette, "By the way, it seems that we have to recruit a chuunin recently, especially a jounin retraining, so I'll leave it to you to take charge of it. After all, it's just idle time."

"!!!"

Jiraiya instantly understood their intentions.

Just wait here!

…

"Chunin, special Jonin retraining registration, presided over by Jiraiya."

Chiba passed by the bulletin board and saw the announcement written on it, which made her want to laugh.

Jiraiya, want to run?

It's not that simple!

He suppressed his smile and did not stay here longer. Instead, he went to the ANBU.

The ANBU leader is still Uzuki Xiyan.

but.

As the captain of the training department, Chiba has been able to officially participate in the work of the ANBU. Of course, the main purpose of this trip is not for training.

He wants to see Kimimaro again.

Seeing Kimimaro again, Chiba found that his health had improved a lot. Although he was still suffering from pain, he did not seem to have deteriorated significantly.

"You're in pretty good shape."

"fine."

Kimimaro was released from the sealed state, and his mood did not fluctuate much.

Just like Kabuto said.

It's not that easy to make Kimimaro surrender.

"Kimimaro, do you have an answer to my suggestion?"

"I want to know whether Lord Orochimaru is dead or not."

Kimimaro said seriously.

"Before, I could only answer with guesswork, but now I can responsibly tell you that he is indeed not dead."

Chiba told Kimimaro the details of her "encounter" with Kabuto Yakushi.

After hearing this, Kimimaro's face gradually became serious.

Can't find reincarnation in the dirty land?

This is enough to prove that Orochimaru's soul did not return to the underworld and may survive in the ninja world in another form.

He narrowed his eyes and asked again: "If Lord Orochimaru is resurrected, how will you treat him?"

"Stop researching forbidden ninjutsu and put him under special surveillance, but I will let him live, but he can no longer conduct those experiments, otherwise I will kill him."

"In addition, I have the ability to find Orochimaru's method, and I am absolutely capable of keeping Orochimaru in that state forever and finally dying."

Chiba knew that Orochimaru wanted to live forever.

Regardless of the cloning technique that Orochimaru himself thought of later, or the "White Zetsu", etc., they can meet Orochimaru's needs. The latter is fine, if it is the former...

He didn't quite approve of it either.

Cloning is a very scary thing. The past life is like Pandora's box, not to mention the ninja world in such a chaotic place.

and.

Not being able to live forever and being imprisoned is a sufficient punishment for Orochimaru.

This is a condition that cannot be compromised, otherwise the price will be too easy.

Kimimaro was silent for a few seconds.

He only has less than half a year left to live, so in a sense he still needs to be treated by the other party.

Under such circumstances, Konoha's willingness to offer such conditions is considered very sincere. At present, rescuing Orochimaru is still the first priority.

As for imprisonment...

At least Orochimaru-sama is still alive.

As for resurrecting Orochimaru by bypassing Chiba, not to mention that they don't have a clue yet, even if they know the method of Orochimaru's resurrection, he doesn't think they can bypass Chiba.

This boy is far scarier than imagined!

He thought for a long time and said, "What do you want me to do?"

"You don't need to do too much. In fact, your current situation is very dangerous. Even if you use my treatment plan, you will no longer be able to use the corpse veins in the short term."

Kimimaro will just be an "instructor" in the short term.

Chiba explained her needs again.

Kimimaro was silent again.

If he agrees to this condition, he will never be loyal to Orochimaru again——

It was impossible for Konoha to agree to let the person who knew the ANBU training situation leave.

Unless what's left is a corpse.

"Before we fully trust you, we need to take some protective measures. You should understand, right? After all, you know the power of the corpse veins best."

"Um."

Kimimaro nodded.

He understood this very well. No one would let a dangerous person walk around in the village, unless the other party had a hole in their head or hoped to use him to guide Orochimaru's hidden subordinates.

"If that's the case, I agree to your terms and help you train ninjas in sword and body skills."

Kimimaro bowed and bowed.

"Okay, since you agreed, you don't need to be detained here in the future. You can change to another place, but part of the seal cannot be unlocked yet..."

"I understand."

Kimimaro nodded calmly, "Actually, I can feel that after chakra and some abilities are sealed, the deterioration of the body is weakening."

This proves that Chiba's conjecture is correct.

Kimimaro's bloodstain disease stems from the evolution of the blood inheritance boundary.

"It's not surprising. The blood inheritance limit is a help, but it is also a disease. This is not only your corpse vein, but also the Sharingan."

"Does the Sharingan also exist?"

Kimimaro was slightly startled.

"It's just different degrees, so in the future, you may not be able to use the power of the curse seal anymore, I will completely seal it."

"Thank you so much."

Kimimaro bowed lightly.

He is loyal to Orochimaru, but he does not discriminate between good and bad.

Kimimaro has always been grateful for Chiba's attention and talent.

"Then you change your clothes first, and I'll take you to meet the Hyuga clan, whom your Kaguya clan is more familiar with."

"It's not necessary. I have no contact with them or any feelings towards them."

Kimimaro said calmly.

Chiba smiled and said: "I am not trying to get closer to you. The Hyuga family's Byakugan can directly see the essence of the human body, which may be helpful to your condition."

"Yes, I understand."

Kimimaro followed Chiba.

but.

After thinking about it, he still said: "The premise for me to help you and Konoha is that you can fulfill your promise, otherwise..."

"Don't worry, but you have to understand that Orochimaru and you have committed serious crimes. If you want to survive, you have to make meritorious deeds. This is true for both you and Orochimaru."

Qianye said sternly.

"I will serve you, and your orders are my direction."

Kimimaro knew that the other party did not trust him.

but.

It's better to be open and honest than secretive.
