Orochimaru's home was quickly surrounded by visiting Ninja, making it impenetrable.
The Third Hokage, Fourth Hokage, two Advisors, Danzo, and various Konoha Family were all watching Orochimaru, wondering what he would do.
However, to everyone's surprise, Orochimaru actually accepted this outcome. He persuaded the Ninja who followed him to return, and went to the Hokage Office alone.
No one knew what Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze discussed, but that night the Hyuga Clan received an order from the Hokage: Asana would assist Orochimaru in completing these two S-rank missions, and the Hyuga Clan was not to obstruct her.
This greatly displeased the Hyuga Main Family, who had been preparing to give Asana a good scolding. They collectively pressured Hyuga Hiashi to meet with Hokage-sama and ask Minato Namikaze to retract his order.
However, before Hyuga Hiashi could go to the Hokage, Orochimaru paid a visit first.
That night, a very strange thing happened in the Hyuga Clan: the Elders of the Main Family were all injured by a mysterious person.
The Hyuga Clan Chief was also no match for this mysterious person. At this critical moment, Asana stepped in and stopped the mysterious person.
As for who this mysterious person was, everyone knew, and yet seemed not to know.
In any case, after this incident, the Hyuga Clan tacitly agreed to Asana accompanying Orochimaru to complete these two S-rank missions.
A day later, Orochimaru and Asana, having packed their belongings, left the Village together.
They had already said goodbye to everyone they needed to in advance, so they did not inform anyone of their departure time, leaving Konoha silently.
On the Hokage Rock, Uchiha En activated his Sharingan and watched the two leave.
He stood on the Hokage Rock for a long time, until their figures completely disappeared from sight.
"Alright, it's time to get down to business!" Uchiha En stretched after speaking, and then his figure disappeared from the Hokage Rock.
Meanwhile, at the Akatsuki Organization, Obito and Black Zetsu, who had been missing for over a month, returned.
The two did not see Nagato this time; instead, they saw six expressionless orange-haired men.
"Nagato."
"Call me Pain," the Heavenly Dao said, stepping forward with an emotionless voice.
"Alright! Pain, you—"
Before Black Zetsu could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a huge gravitational force erupt from the Heavenly Dao.
"Pain, what are you doing?" Black Zetsu asked in a panic.
"Nothing, I just want to know what exactly you are!" After speaking, the gravitational force from Deva Path Pain increased again, and Black Zetsu was directly pulled over by Deva Path Pain.
Then, a black iron rod appeared in Deva Path Pain's hand, directly pinning Black Zetsu to the ground.
Black Zetsu is a product of Yin-Yang Release, and only things similar to Yin-Yang Release can restrain his actions. This black iron rod, created using the Rinnegan, happens to be a form of Yin-Yang Release.
Therefore, Black Zetsu was directly pinned to the ground, unable to move.
"Nagato, what is the meaning of this?" Obito asked with a serious tone from the side.
"Don't be nervous, I just want to understand what he is!" After speaking, Deva Path Pain took out two more black iron rods and plunged them into Black Zetsu's head and heart.
