"Leader, don't underestimate that kid. He's only twelve or thirteen, but his strength isn't weak. And that kid is despicable, shameless, insidious, cunning, has canker sores in his mouth, pus flowing from his feet... in short, he's utterly rotten. Otherwise, I wouldn't have suffered such a huge loss at his hands."
The thought of Naruto's punch made Kisame break out in a cold sweat.
It wasn't that Naruto's punch was incredibly strong—well, it was pretty strong—but more importantly, it was Naruto's earlier act of feigning weakness.
If he hadn't been fooled by Naruto's performance, Kisame wouldn't have let him land a punch.
Everyone knows what happened next: Kisame was instantly humiliated and even changed his name. He truly suffered a massive loss.
"Sigh~"
Watching Kisame exaggerate Naruto's flaws, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but recall the scene of Kisame and Naruto bickering like elementary schoolers.
He really hadn't expected his comrade to have such a goofy side.
But this was good. Uchiha Itachi, who knew Kisame's past well, knew how heavy his heart was. Occasionally acting goofy to vent negative emotions was an excellent way to relieve stress.
If circumstances allowed, Uchiha Itachi would also like to act goofy sometimes.
"Oh, and Leader, there's a very mysterious guy in Konoha. I think the Akatsuki Organization needs to investigate his information."
After discussing Uzumaki Naruto's situation, Kisame thought of Ge Liang, the Internet Cafe Owner.
Given that Ge Liang could capture Danzo and not make Hiruzen Sarutobi explode with rage, this person must be very dangerous.
Having the Akatsuki Organization investigate him now would be beneficial, so they wouldn't be completely clueless if they ever faced Ge Liang.
"Oh? Konoha has such a person?"
Pain didn't immediately agree; instead, he turned to Uchiha Itachi.
Seeing Pain look over, Uchiha Itachi nodded, agreeing with Kisame, and directly took out the scroll containing Danzo.
"This is a gift from that Internet Cafe Owner to you."
When Ge Liang handed Danzo to Uchiha Itachi, he told him that Uchiha Itachi could deal with this person however he wished.
Since that was the case, as a spy for Konoha, Uchiha Itachi naturally had to try his best to eliminate the antagonism between the Akatsuki Organization and Konoha.
Ge Liang naturally couldn't represent Konoha, but Ge Liang now lived in Konoha. If the Akatsuki Organization fell out with Ge Liang, then Konoha would ultimately be the one 'hurt'.
"I want to see what's inside."
Pain didn't care about gifts; he was just a little curious about Ge Liang.
And his curiosity was limited to whether this person would hinder the Akatsuki Organization's actions.
If he would cause an obstruction, then he definitely needed to be removed as soon as possible.
With this decision made, Pain naturally no longer valued the gift Uchiha Itachi mentioned.
"Bang!"
Uchiha Itachi finished his hand signs and released Danzo from the scroll.
When he saw Danzo, Pain's pupils constricted.
How could he not recognize Danzo?
Danzo was one of the people who conspired with Hanzou against the Akatsuki Organization back then.
Pain wanted to kill Danzo at every moment.
It was only for the Akatsuki Organization's ultimate plan that he had endured, only eliminating Hanzou, the other instigator at the time.
He really hadn't expected his long-sought enemy to appear before him in this manner.
While delighted, his interest in Ge Liang grew even deeper.
"I will have Zetsu investigate that person's information. You two may leave and act freely."
After speaking, Pain grabbed Danzo's neck and started walking back, seemingly intending to torture Danzo thoroughly.
"It seems that boss didn't lie to us; the Leader really does have a grudge against Danzo."
"Let's go, don't dwell on meaningless thoughts."
"Okay!"
...Danzo ultimately fell into Nagato's hands; Ge Liang doesn't know this yet.
But even if he knew, he wouldn't think much of it.
He who kills others will be killed by others.
Just as Danzo treated Yahiko and his companions, Nagato would now exact double the retribution on Danzo.
It is foreseeable that Danzo will surely suffer some inhuman torture.
As mentioned before, Seal-type abilities will automatically Release over time after leaving the Internet Cafe.
The 'Bigu' ability, being a low-level skill, was completely removed three days after Danzo left the Internet Cafe.
The Deprivation ability is a top-tier System skill, so it will take some time for it to automatically be removed. If Danzo dies before the Deprivation Seal is removed, that would be for the best, as he wouldn't have to feel any Pain.
If Danzo dies before the Deprivation Seal is removed, that would be for the best, as he wouldn't have to feel any Pain.
Looking at it this way, Danzo should even thank Ge Liang, otherwise he would have to endure extremely intense Pain.
Danzo: I thank your whole family!
..."You actually dare to return to Konoha? Aren't you afraid of being caught?"
It was night, and Ge Liang was about to close the shop.
Just as he was about to close, someone else appeared at the Internet Cafe's entrance.
Hmm~ why did I use 'else'?
"I specifically came to seek the boss's help."
Pale face, hoarse voice. That's right, the newcomers were Orochimaru and his assistant Yakushi Kabuto.
"Come in and talk."
After ushering the two into the Internet Cafe and closing the door, Ge Liang asked, "What do you need me for?"
"The boss should know about my current situation, right?"
Ge Liang nodded.
Similar to the original work, Orochimaru's hands had been sealed by Hiruzen Sarutobi's Reaper Death Seal, rendering them useless.
As a mad scientist, Orochimaru couldn't accept his hands being crippled, which is why he returned to Konoha at this time, seeking Ge Liang's help.
"It's simple to solve your hand problem. Can't you just use your Living Corpse Reincarnation once?"
In the original work, after failing to get help from Senju Tsunade, Orochimaru used the characteristics of Living Corpse Reincarnation to heal his hands.
However, the Living Corpse Reincarnation jutsu has severe side effects.
Each reincarnation would cause a certain amount of damage to Orochimaru's Soul.
This is also why Uchiha Itachi could instantly defeat Orochimaru with just a 'look'.
With his Soul so severely damaged, Orochimaru definitely wouldn't use Living Corpse Reincarnation to solve the problem unless he had no other choice.
He had already decided: first, he would seek Ge Liang's help. If Ge Liang couldn't cure him or refused to help, then he would go to Senju Tsunade. In any case, Living Corpse Reincarnation was the last resort, and he wouldn't use it until the very last moment.
"If there's no solution here, then I'll have to go to Senju Tsunade."
"It's not that I don't have a solution here."
Speaking of which, the Internet Cafe really does have the ability to repair Souls.
Not only are there omnipotent Internet Cafe skills that can repair Souls, but in "the legend of sword and fairy 1," there is also a Medicinal Pill that can repair Souls.
Ge Liang was just struggling with whether or not to save Orochimaru.
After much thought, he decided to save him.
