Chapter 488: Personal Vendetta!
Chapter 488: Personal Vendetta!
The burlap sack was untied, revealing the person inside.
Sarutobi Asuma!
Yes, they had abducted him from Konoha.
The village's secret transaction with the Daimyo had assigned Asuma a mission back to Konoha, providing Yuuhi a chance to 'persuade' him.
It had to be said that the village's upper echelon had planned this meticulously, and if not for Dong Ping's accidental encounter, they would have never known their scheme.
Every time before his transmigration, when he saw the beautiful Yuuhi fall into the hands of Asuma, the Shadow Second Generation, he felt extremely displeased.
Now, given the opportunity, he wanted to give Asuma a 'shocking education.'
Personal vendettas need no justification.
Illusion Technique!
At this moment, Asuma was trapped in an illusion meticulously crafted by Uchiha Yai.
The effect was singular.
In his current state, he had married his heart's goddess, Yuuhi, and it was the perfect... moment.
Yes, Dong Ping enjoyed the spectacle and didn't mind making things worse for Asuma.
"You've enjoyed the privileges of being a Shadow Second Generation since childhood; it's only fair that you also bear the risks that come with that identity, right?"
Just like those young lives sacrificed on the battlefield, they were sent by the Hokage Faction, and the higher-ups of the faction remained in the village, claiming to 'stand guard' at the rear.
"Pfft, they've completely lost their face, and their double standards for the Will of Fire are too much."
Asuma had indeed gone to the battlefield, and besides receiving various special treatments, he hadn't been assigned any dangerous missions.
Having received these benefits and encountering Dong Ping, who held no regard for the Hokage Faction, it was only right for Asuma to face retaliation.
Moreover, Asuma wasn't a good person.
Since childhood, he had led a group of lackeys to bully others, and Dong Ping had personally witnessed him smoking and drinking. It was impossible for him to be wrongfully accusing Asuma.
Therefore, he had never given the two Shadow Second Generations any face, and he had even slapped Asuma across the face once.
This time, he wanted to give Asuma a memory he would never forget.
Glug, glug!
Dong Ping poured bottle after bottle of potion down Asuma's throat.
It wasn't poison!
These were potions that replenished nutrition and endurance, and there were even healing potions. If Asuma's body encountered any problems, they could be treated immediately.
With all this, it would be strange if Asuma's body wasn't completely wrecked.
"Let's go!"
After finishing everything, Dong Ping placed Asuma next to Danzo, ensuring he was lying down comfortably.
Hmm, Danzo was under the effects of an illusion and a seal, so it would take at least a day for him to wake up. Before then, there was no way he would regain consciousness.
Dong Ping was genuinely curious to see how Asuma would face reality when he woke up.
Hmm, it wouldn't be strange if they formed a new 'bond' in the future.
After all, Danzo's true love was Sarutobi Hiruzen, and now that his target had changed to Hiruzen's son, it was somewhat understandable.
Of course, Dong Ping's actions weren't just about pranking Asuma; he was also 'silencing' him.
If Danzo were to reveal that he had been attacked, he would have to explain the whole situation. By then... he hoped Asuma would be fine.
Furthermore, this incident involved his meeting with Orochimaru, so regarding the attack and the theft of his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, even if he was furious, he could only suppress his anger.
After leaving the cave, Uchiha Yai watched as Dong Ping sealed the exit. Her eyes twitched.
She had never expected Dong Ping to go this far.
"Do you have some grudge against Sarutobi Hiruzen?" she asked curiously after Dong Ping finished sealing the exit.
Dong Ping's animosity towards the Third Hokage had been evident since before, but he hadn't shown it due to his lack of strength in the past.
"No, I just can't stand 'double-standard dogs' and 'white lotuses,' and those who enjoy the benefits brought by them but are seen as 'kind and gentle' by others!" Dong Ping replied, feeling a surge of emotion.
In the future, there would even be people who believed Asuma was a good person.
It was truly a hellish joke.
Asuma had bullied others since childhood and even betrayed the village by joining the Guardian Shinobi. It was unfair for him to be called a good person.
Dong Ping didn't hesitate to take action against those he disliked.
As for those who, even after transmigrating, still feared this and that, eventually living a life they despised, he held no respect for them.
Having crossed over into this world, if I can't do as I please after gaining strength, then what's the point of all this?
This was also the reason why he dealt with Asama.
If I didn't have the strength, I could let it go. But now that I do, seeing that you, the Second Hokage, are unhappy, I'll naturally take care of you directly.
In the future, I'll deal with the Third Hokage too. I won't let him have a 'glorious sacrifice' and whitewash all his past misdeeds.
"..."
Uchiha Yai could tell that Dong Ping wasn't joking, so she didn't press further.
As for the terms 'double standards' and 'white lotus', he often used them, so he understood their meaning.
Hmm, after the two of them finished, they left without staying to watch the live-stream.
After all, it was too eye-burning!
If it were two girls, Dong Ping might have been interested, but Danzo and Asama... Forget it, he didn't want to have nightmares.
However, on their way out, he kept humming songs like 'Broken Chrysanthemum, Wounded Butt...' which made Uchiha Yai glance at him with a strange look.
A few hours later, at dawn, they caught up with Hyuga Cangyue.
"Is this the place?"
Dong Ping curiously looked at the lake before him.
Yes, Orochimaru's base was hidden beneath this lake.
A very clever choice.
The lake appeared calm, but in reality, it was in a state of constant disturbance. Even the Byakugan would have difficulty seeing through it, let alone the Reincarnated Eye, unless one stared at it continuously to notice some clues.
"That's right, but I can't see the situation inside either!"
Hyuga Cangyue nodded.
Although the other party had made extensive preparations, she wasn't just a Byakugan user but a 'true' Reincarnated Eye. Even though she hadn't reached her peak yet, her reconnaissance ability was far beyond the Byakugan, so she had some discoveries, but not many.
"Yai, you should use the Mizu no Dougan for a while to get familiar with it. We'll take action when they come out!"
Dong Ping made his decision.
There was only one chance, and he wouldn't dare to enter their lair and take action. He could only wait for them to come out on their own.
Orochimaru was a research fanatic, and he could sit for as long as needed for his research.
But his current forces hadn't grown yet, and he didn't have many capable people at his disposal. So, he had to handle important matters personally.
For example, capturing important experimental subjects; he couldn't entrust them to the Sound Ninja Village, which didn't even have Jonin.
"Okay!"
Uchiha Yai nodded immediately.
It was only because it was Dong Ping; if it were anyone else, she would have immediately taken drastic action to kill.
Ninja was a profession of suspicion.
Hyuga Cangyue immediately found a very good observation point and used her hands, enhanced by Razor's Edge, to dig out a temporary base in the mountain wall.
Dong Ping immediately began the surgery.
Although the Sharingan seemed like a 'hot-swappable' device, using it that way would burden both the user and the eyes themselves.
But with Dong Ping, the pinnacle of medical ninjutsu, along with the assistance of drugs and surgery, there were no such issues.
Eye-swapping surgery wasn't difficult; even Yahiko Rin could do it back then, so how hard could it be?
Anyone could perform surgery, but the results varied.
If Dong Ping did it, the results would naturally be the best.
After Uchiha Yai switched to Shizuru Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan, she didn't feel any discomfort or burden and could almost use it immediately.
Next came the preparations and arrangements for the hunt.
If it were anyone else, they wouldn't need to be so cautious.
The problem was that their prey, Orochimaru, one of the Three Sannin, was only a Shadow Rank in terms of strength.
Note that this refers to 'strength', evaluated by chakra, physical qualities, and the like.
But if you add the 'Sage' data to a ninja's profile, Orochimaru's combat power would be at least that of a High-Ranked Shadow Rank.
At the very least, he wouldn't lose!
After all, when he was a main general, he had directly blocked strong Shadow Ranks like Daigo or the Third Raikage. His achievements were right there.
Orochimaru was the type who could bring out his strength beyond what the data suggested.
After waiting for about half a month, they finally found an opportunity.
