Chapter 511: Good Partner
In the ice and snow, the whole world seemed to be covered by a thick white velvet blanket.
On a mountain wall that was not too steep, the biting wind and snow whistled past.
In the flying snow, two figures wearing black robes with purple eyes design, and simple hats stood quietly like messengers of the night.
The hems of the black robes rustled in the wind, like dancing black flames.
One of the figures seemed a little impatient, slightly turned his head to look at his companion beside him, and was the first to break the silence.
"Is it almost time? Hasn't the acquaintance you are waiting for arrived yet?"
The voice seemed a little young, but the words seemed to be a little colder than the biting cold wind.
But the companion beside him didn't seem to care about the cold questioning at all.
Instead, he replied with an equally cold but slightly hoarse voice.
"No need to hurry, judging by the time, he should be here soon."
The young figure was obviously not satisfied with such a perfunctory answer, and his tone became even colder.
"Orochimaru, you don't complete the task assigned to you by the leader, but want me to accompany you here to wait for others, what do you want to do?"
As he spoke, the wind and snow also blew up the young figure's hat.
Under it, a rather delicate boy's face was revealed.
The red hair gently stroked the boy's cheek, making this delicate face with a little childishness more graceful than a girl's.
However, Orochimaru, who was accused by him, would not pay attention to the face under the boy's hat, but instead said frivolously with his unique and charming voice.
"Sasori, this is not a task assigned to me, but a task assigned to the two of us."
As he said, Orochimaru also pointed to a carrier pigeon in front of the two people, which had been frozen in the snow for who knows how long, and said indifferently.
"And the mission? Didn't we already stop one?"
Sasori, who had been a little irritated by waiting, looked at Orochimaru impatiently without even looking at the dead carrier pigeon in front of him.
"There have been five carrier birds coming and going here, but you only stopped the first one?"
"Do you have any unrealistic expectations for Konohagakure?"
Sasori had just said this when a hint of coldness suddenly appeared in Orochimaru's narrow snake pupils.
But he quickly restrained it and his tone remained very calm.
"The leader bribed you with just a possible help? Don't forget that the inspiration for your regeneration core came from..."
Orochimaru had just said half of his words when his expression suddenly paused.
Then he looked down the cliff again, licked his lips that were a little cracked by the cold, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
"Here he is!"
After saying this, Orochimaru ignored Sasori beside him and jumped directly off the cliff.
Although Sasori was still a little impatient, he quickly jumped up and followed.
At this time.
In the narrow path below the mountain wall.
After the previous meeting of the five Kage, Kaito and the other two who were walking slowly back suddenly looked up at the same time and swept their eyes to the sky.
They saw two black-robed figures falling rapidly from the sky.
They had already encountered an attack on the way here, and the alarm bells in their hearts were immediately raised.
They quickly drew their weapons to protect Kaito.
On the contrary, Kaito himself seemed to be unconcerned and stood still.
He looked at the two people falling from the sky with interest.
'It's really a robe with a black background and purple eye pattern? What a blunder this mistake has caused.'
Originally, Kaito had already heard from Hozuki Shingetsu and Zabuza that this time that the organization led by Obito was not wearing the original black robe with red clouds.
Relying on his "foreknowledge", he fell into an empirical misjudgment.
Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, this little thing didn't affect his previous plan.
While paying attention to the robe, Kaito's dynamic vision also saw the faces of the two people who fell.
As the two people landed steadily on the ground, a little white snow splashed.
Kaito also spoke slowly.
"Orochimaru, Sasori. How dare you appear in front of me so openly?"
Who would have thought that before Kaito could say more.
As soon as Sasori landed, he immediately reached behind him, and at the same time, he took two steps back with a vigilant look on his face, looking at Orochimaru beside him.
"Orochimaru! Is this the acquaintance you mentioned?"
Sasori's sudden question made Zabuza and Mei, who were still unclear about the situation, feel a little confused.
Even Kaito, who had some guesses, felt a little confused at this time.
'Is it not true that your new Akatsuki organization keeps secrets so well? Do you not even know the mission objectives before setting out on a task?'
Among those present, only Orochimaru himself had anticipated the current situation.
He took off his bamboo hat and said in a teasing tone.
"This Mizukage and I are old acquaintances who are very familiar with each other."
The four people present were all frowning at this time.
Kaito and the other two naturally recalled the scene when they were punished by Orochimaru on the battlefield when they were still Genin.
However, the strength of the three people is now different from the past, so they don't care much about the past.
As for Sasori, he has begun to feel speechless about his teammate who is simply reckless.
Now Mizukage Kaito's reputation has spread throughout the ninja world.
If it were just this, Sasori would not be too nervous.
But the unfathomable leader in the organization has repeatedly warned not to provoke the Mizukage too early.
In addition, the four members of the organization had gone out together before, but they were forced to retreat by the man in front of them alone in the battle to attack the Kirigakure Village.
If Sasori still only regarded the other party as an ordinary Kage like the Third Kazekage, it would be too careless.
But then, Sasori seemed to have thought of something, and his face quickly regained its calmness.
He said to Orochimaru beside him with a somewhat unfriendly tone.
"Orochimaru, I will report this matter to the leader truthfully!"
Hearing this, Kaito looked at Sasori of the Red Sand who spoke with a strange look, and he didn't know where the other party got his confidence from.
"Don't you think that if you show up in front of me, you really have a chance to run away?"
As he said, Kaito didn't wait for the other party to answer, and waved his hand directly at Zabuza and Mei.
"Mei, Zabuza, go up and practice!"
As he said, with him here, even if the other side turned the world upside down, Zabuza and Mei would not die.
It would be even more difficult to escape under his nose.
It just so happened that Zabuza and Mei were both between the strength of a jonin and a Kage, so they would not let go of such a good sparring partner easily.
As for the other party's specific purpose, he would have to wait until they were beaten to their knees before asking.
As Kaito's voice fell, Terumi Mei and Zabuza immediately rushed out like an arrow from a bow.
