Chapter 298 - 296 : Shisui and Itachi!!
"Orochimaru?"
Shisui muttered softly, a flicker of interest appearing in his usually calm eyes.
Orochimaru — one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.
Along with Jiraiya and Tsunade, he was a student of Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage. All three of them were among the strongest ninja in the village.
Shisui even believed their strength had likely surpassed Hiruzen’s. Even if not, they were definitely on the same level.
That’s why...
He was curious to meet this man — a powerful rogue ninja who defected from Konoha.
A man whose experiments were going well until Hiruzen shut them down. Orochimaru ended up taking all the blame.
He must really hold a grudge against the Third Hokage.
"With how simple-minded Hayashi is, even after traveling the ninja world for over a year, there’s no way he can outsmart Orochimaru," Genya murmured with a faint smile.
If Hayashi hadn’t been clever enough to realize something was off about the deal with Orochimaru — and hadn’t warned the merchant guild to notify him — he probably would’ve walked right into the trap.
