Satoru stopped and watched for a while, and it was indeed as he had thought.
The Ninja in this arena were quite strong.
However, most of them were Ninja with specialized skills, unlike the Ninja from the Hidden Villages.
But all of them were Ninja who had experienced many life-and-death battles.
There were quite a few Bloodline Limits.
He also learned from the people around him that this type of arena model existed in various countries.
It was to find Ninja for important figures to serve as bodyguards and similar roles.
And Yashiro, whom they spoke of, was one of the important figures in the Land of Hot spring, a very wealthy merchant.
"It seems Orochimaru is planning to cooperate with these rich people, which isn't too surprising."
He sensed Orochimaru's Chakra still within a room, so they probably hadn't finalized their discussion yet.
Orochimaru had his own secret bases in various countries and managed to develop so well, naturally, he had his methods.
Trading with the power structures of various countries was probably one of those methods.
Satoru left the audience seats and walked in the direction where Orochimaru was.
Let's see what Orochimaru is up to...
"Thanks to Mr. Yashiro's support, my base wouldn't have been built so easily."
In a secret room of the arena, Orochimaru smiled at a middle-aged bearded man with gray-brown hair wearing a jumpsuit.
Yashiro was sprawled on the sofa: "Well, only by cooperating with a Ninja like you can I feel like I'm talking to a smart person. I hope you can maintain this cooperative stance."
Yashiro
Facing Orochimaru, he showed no fear, despite the rumors of how terrifying he was.
Because in the Land of Hot spring, most of Orochimaru's test subjects were supplied by him, and this had been going on for several years, so he was already very familiar with Orochimaru.
"Of course, what I like most is a win-win situation. I hope we can continue to cooperate."
Orochimaru sat on the sofa, completely at ease.
"Then, this uninvited guest is up to you. I am a merchant.
It's better not to fight if I don't have to."
Yashiro smiled and 'poof' disappeared in front of Orochimaru.
Orochimaru's gaze fell on the person right in front of him: "Captain Satoru, your Genjutsu is getting stronger and stronger. Long time no see, how is Sarutobi's health lately?"
"Oh, it seems Senior Orochimaru is somewhat wary of my Ninjutsu.
Why was that Mr. Yashiro in such a hurry to leave?"
Satoru was helpless.
His Body Concealment Jutsu had failed, and without any prior intelligence. It seems the Ninja World is not lacking in experts.
Orochimaru was one, and that guy just now was too.
"Hehe, you walked in so openly, it would be hard not to know, wouldn't it?
That person is different from me. If I'm a cunning rabbit with three burrows, he's a cunning rabbit with fifteen burrows.
He's much more cunning than I am."
Orochimaru chuckled.
There was no intention of a confrontation.
"I can tell. Using a clone even when going out, truly cautious!" In Satoru's perception, both of them were actually clones.
He distinguished Orochimaru's clone by the amount of Chakra.
"But that person has nothing to do with me. Senior Orochimaru, why don't you tell me what you're doing here?"
Satoru was very curious.
Orochimaru's social circle was truly wide!
From the Konoha higher-ups to the gangs in various countries, he had partners everywhere.
Orochimaru licked his lips: "For experiments, Captain Satoru.
Let's leave it at that for now. I don't want to deal with you at the moment.
If there's an opportunity in the future, let's meet again and chat."
There seemed to be a hidden meaning in his words, and Satoru was puzzled.
Chat with me, and only later? Can't we chat now? Aren't you just a clone?
Bang!
Orochimaru just smiled at him and then disappeared from his sight.
"What a cautious guy."
Satoru had been thinking of planting a contact nerve on him to collect his body information!
They were all clones, which was simply too cunning.
Anyway, he couldn't guess what Orochimaru wanted to do, or why he came to the Land of Hot spring.
Or, as he said, he just came to the Land of Hot spring to trade corpses for experiments.
Thinking of the corpse that had just died in the arena, that was a user of a secret Jutsu.
"Forget it, I'll just go steal some corpse information."
After thinking about it, Satoru had no reason to chase Orochimaru. He was just curious earlier.
He thought of the large number of Ketsuryūgan users and various secret Jutsu users just now.
That was more useful to him.
He returned to the arena, used his Body Concealment Genjutsu, and went back to his old ways.
Reading the memories and body information of corpses.
He hadn't felt this sneaking feeling in a long time.
"Hmm, among these Ninja, only a few are from the Hidden Hot spring Village.
Most of them are rogue Ninja, and a few escaped from the nobles because they couldn't stand their exploitation.
Indeed, Ninja who don't belong to their own Village really don't have it easy!"
Although Ninja possess great power, they are not the main theme of the Ninja World.
The main theme of the Ninja World still belongs to ordinary people.
Satoru's methods were superb; none of these ordinary Ninja discovered his Body Concealment Jutsu.
Mainly, he noticed that after Yashiro finished his recruitment, the quality of the Ninja declined.
Five days later, he reluctantly left the arena.
It was simply an information database!
He could visit the arenas in other Great Nations in the future.
If the quality in the Land of Hot spring was like this, imagine the quality in the other Five Great Nations.
Whoosh whoosh!
Swallowing a secret medicine to maintain his body's evolution, Satoru headed north of the Land of Hot spring, towards Hidden Mist.
According to his Pupil Setting Hand reconnaissance these past few days, two strange individuals had appeared there.
And not long ago, they even showed their faces.
He looked at the map in his hand.
"North... Land of Exchange... Hmm... Is this to collect funds for the Akatsuki Organization to sustain itself?"
At this stage, shouldn't they be looking for Tailed Beasts?
True, it's not yet time for Akatsuki to make its big move.
Whoosh whoosh~
..."Mr. Itachi, the Akatsuki Organization treats us too inhumanely.
I didn't even work this hard to earn money in the Hidden Mist Village.
Really, to achieve an interesting dream,
I'm exhausted."
Kisame complained, but he was still very willing to work.
The Akatsuki Organization leader's goal aligned perfectly with his thoughts.
On his great sword, Samehada, a figure was hanging.
Uchiha Itachi said: "We'll be at the Land of Exchange soon, don't be careless."
Outside the Land of Exchange, there were some Ninja who liked to ambush others who had completed their missions, robbing them of their spoils after leaving the Land of Exchange for a while, or when entering it.
This was not uncommon.
"Heh, perfect. I want to stretch my muscles and bones. This guy wasn't strong enough to even get my muscles and bones moving."
Kisame shook the corpse hanging on Samehada and laughed.
He also wondered if a strong opponent would appear before him.
"Stop, Kisame, we might be in trouble."
Itachi looked at some flying birds, his Sharingan spinning.
