Chapter 514 Cooperation?
Kaito let Zabuza continue to attack Orochimaru. He just saw that Orochimaru seemed to need him, so he just wanted to give him a show of strength first.
It was necessary to listen to how the other party wanted to cooperate. Naturally, he won't choose to let Orochimaru's chakra was exhausted and disappear.
Seeing that it was almost time, he directly used the "Water Style Sage Mode".
A sage chakra arm emitting a bright blue glow suddenly emerged from his arm.
The blue energy arm depicting golden lines stretched and grew larger as soon as it appeared.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge palm several meters high, holding Zabuza, who was about to charge at Orochimaru, firmly in his hand.
"This, this is Sage Chakra!"
Orochimaru looked at the big hand that forcibly dragged Zabuza back with surprise.
Although he himself did not practice Sage Mode, he had signed a Summoning contract with the Ryuchi Cave, one of the three holy places.
Orochimaru's understanding of sage mode was no worse than anyone else.
Even the 'Cursed Seal of Earth' developed by Orochimaru himself was developed based on the concept of natural energy.
It was just that he himself, out of caution as a researcher, did not trust the old snake in the Ryuchi Cave, so he did not personally learn the so-called 'Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode'.
Who would have thought that now, he would actually see a brand new Sage Mode that did not belong to one of the three holy places on the Mizukage in front of him.
Even just looking at the flexibility of his control and the power of this grab, the proficiency of the Sage Mode of this Mizukage is even higher than that of his former teammate, the idiot Jiraiya.
'Could it be that his summoning beast frog also possesses some secret inheritance of sage arts?'
Orochimaru naturally knew about the existence of Blue, and even planned to capture him for research.
In the last battle, Blue's 'Flame White Mode' that broke out in the 'Bond Evolution' state made Orochimaru remember it clearly.
It is not surprising to speculate from this.
'Hehe, in this case, deepening cooperation may be a good choice.'
Thinking of this, Orochimaru's smile became even stronger.
Even the bad memories brought by the snake head falling in front of him were all thrown behind him.
On the other hand, Kaito.
After the big hand caught Zabuza back, he saw that he was not obedient and was struggling and roaring in the giant energy palm.
Kaito's face turned black.
With a slight force on his palm, the tailed beast coat surging around Zabuza's body instantly made a "sizzling" sound.
Fortunately, although Zabuza's current "state 2" will make him fall into a state similar to bloodthirsty and violent, he will not completely lose his mind.
Compared with the "state 3" of complete tailed beast transformation, he still has a certain degree of control.
Feeling the faint "creaking" sound coming from the bones around his body.
Zabuza, who was already sensitive, the beast instinct in his body instantly warned him.
His eyes quickly regained clarity.
The black and purple energy surging around his body was immediately retracted into his body.
"I told you to practice, but how can your frenzy help you?"
Zabuza subconsciously shrank his neck when he heard Kaito's scolding.
After the energy palm that imprisoned him dissipated with the wind, he covered his arm with a grin and stood obediently behind Kaito.
"I'll deal with you when we get back!"
After beating Zabuza a little, Kaito, who was full of black lines on his head, did not dwell too much on this matter. Turning his head to look at Orochimaru, who seemed to have a somewhat fanatical look in front of him, Kaito suddenly felt a chill.
However, he remained calm on his face and spoke lightly at a steady pace.
"Looking at your dress, you should have joined the behind-the-scenes organization of the guy who calls himself Uchiha Madara, right?"
"You just said that you want to cooperate with me again, what exactly does that mean?"
Facing Kaito's question, Orochimaru, who had slightly changed his original purpose, did not rush to tell the content of his cooperation as before.
Instead, he said slowly with a smile.
"The organization I joined is called Zero. As for whether the leader is Uchiha Madara, hehe~"
When mentioning the leader of the organization, Orochimaru showed a bit of obvious disdain on his face.
Kaito was not surprised by this.
With Obito's brain, relying on the ability of "Kamui", he could show up less often in front of people who didn't know what was going on, pretending to be Uchiha Madara, and maybe people wouldn't suspect him.
In front of members of the organization who often meet, especially Orochimaru, who was born in Konohagakure and had some research on Sharingan and the First Hokage, it was normal for him to doubt his nonsense.
However, the name of the organization mentioned by Orochimaru made Kaito slightly stunned for a while.
'Rin? So straightforward? Obito is not afraid of exposing his identity?' ( Zero is called Ling in Chinese. Rin is called Lin in Chinese. )
However, Kaito immediately reacted and realized that Orochimaru was talking about "Zero" instead of "Rin".
He was a little speechless and shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind and continued to bring the topic back to the previous cooperation.
"It doesn't matter who the leader is. Tell me about your so-called cooperation."
Facing Kaito's straightforward inquiry, Orochimaru did not feel unhappy. He just looked at Terumi Mei and Zabuza standing behind Kaito.
But seeing that Kaito didn't seem to want the two to avoid him, he didn't say much.
He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, then spoke out his bargaining chips in the same straightforward manner.
"I can be an insider and provide all the information about the Zero Organization to you, Mizukage-sama."
Kaito nodded slightly when he heard this, and he was not too surprised.
Orochimaru appeared as a member of the Zero Organization, and the bargaining chips he could bring out were nothing more than a few, and intelligence was relatively the least impressive one.
Even Kaito himself, in some aspects, may have a better understanding of the intelligence of the Zero Organization than Orochimaru.
"Don't worry about the specific information, tell me what you want to get by doing this first?"
Orochimaru was slightly stunned when he heard this.
He thought that Kaito, who was suspected of having had many confrontations with the leader of the organization and whose village had been attacked by the organization, would attach great importance to the information of the person behind the scenes.
And not to mention the previous ones, the focus of the Five Kage Talks that he just participated in should be on dealing with the organization behind him.
Why did the Mizukage in front of him seem to be not too concerned about the information he could provide.
'If you don't care about the information, why do you keep me here? Or do you not trust me to provide the real information?'
Although Orochimaru was a little confused about Kaito's thoughts at this time, he immediately pulled his thoughts back to the question raised by Kaito.
What does he want from Kaito?
