Chapter 117:
On the other side, in the Land of Rice Fields, Orochimaru had been in this country for nearly two years.
At this moment, in an open field near the border, a massive, khaki-colored python was coiled up, flicking its red tongue as it watched the scene ahead. Its golden snake eyes gleamed with an unsettling chill.
Around it, several ninjas lay scattered on the ground, defeated.
Orochimaru stood nearby, observing the short-haired girl in front of him. He couldn't help but marvel at how fate had brought them together.
The girl wasn't particularly attractive, dressed in simple civilian clothes. But her striking short red hair made her stand out.
"What's your name?" Orochimaru asked, his tone calm but probing.
"My name is…" The girl hesitated before replying, "My name is Chana."
"Chana, huh?" Orochimaru smiled faintly. "It's a nice name. So, would you like to come with me?"
"F-Follow you?" The girl, Chana, was visibly confused, staring at the pale-skinned, long-haired man before her.
