Chapter 557 An Unknown Little Person

The visitor was a messenger from the organization, who knelt down on one knee.

The first internal training session has been completed by the vast majority of members. Some geniuses have mastered the first stage of the Flying Thunder God Technique. Although they cannot avoid damage, they can still transmit messages over long distances.

Actually, if possible, Aburame Shih-cheng would prefer them to call, because that would be faster.

However, since his subordinates insisted on manual communication to show off their mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique, there was nothing he could do.

Aburame Shisei nodded, then asked, "What is it?"

The messenger lowered his voice and said, "Information has come from the Province of Demons that a long-haired ghoul has infiltrated our world, escaped our control, and has already caused several murders."

Aburame Shisei frowned slightly and waved his hand to signal him to continue.

The messenger continued, "Initially, this matter shouldn't have reached you. But the long-haired ghoul and his accomplices have been captured. To save his own life, the ghoul offered to find and communicate with the demon realm, asking only for a chance to live."

"The realm of demons and monsters?" A hint of interest flashed in Aburame Shisei's eyes.

His large, fat worm had long coveted this realm, but it could never find the coordinates. This was partly the reason why he wanted to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique.

After all, whether it's the Kara organization, the Summoning World, or the current Konoha, they are all basically hiding in another dimension.

Furthermore, they have virtually no way to contact the Time Worms and cannot be transported there through thought channels.

"That's quite interesting." Orochimaru smiled and nodded.

The messenger echoed, "Yes, he said he's willing to be a guide and help us find and invade the demon realm."

Aburame Shisei gently placed the coordinates back into his sleeve. "Interesting. Take me to see him."

Orochimaru laughed and said, "Take me with you too, maybe I can be of help."

The confinement cell is located three underground floors of the organization. The walls are made of a special alloy reinforced with sealing techniques, and even the light is suppressed to be very dim.

A member of the Daodao Clan stood on each side, responsible for guarding the area.

When Aburame Shisei walked in, he immediately saw her being imprisoned inside.

She was a woman with long, floor-length hair, or at least she appeared to be. She was quite striking in appearance, wearing a blue dress, somewhat resembling the former Water Shadow, except that her looks had a seductive quality and she seemed a bit frivolous.

Her hair was scattered on the floor of the solitary confinement cell, like a black swamp, half-covering her body.

Because of the harsh interrogation, her face was deathly pale, but her features were delicate, and her eyes revealed a pitiful fragility.

When Aburame Shisei first saw it, he felt it was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place it.

"I never expected such a creature to appear in the ninja world. I really need to study it properly!" Orochimaru's eyes were full of inquiry, because he could tell at a glance that the woman's physical body was a puppet, fake, and her true form was her hair.

"My lord, my lord!" Just then, two voices called out from the next room, and two simply dressed earth-style ninjas knelt on the ground, pleading.

Sitting in front of them was Wuwei, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and also the highest warden of this prison.

After going through many twists and turns, the father and son Wuwei returned to their old profession, only this time it was the Imperial Prison instead of the Ghost Lantern City Prison.

Wuwei looked down at the two from his high position, exuding an air of authority.

The long, thin centipede in his hand transformed into a long whip, its legs and claws now sharp barbs that, along with their master, embedded themselves into the prisoner's flesh, tearing off chunks of flesh with each pull.

"We are innocent. We didn't kill anyone. Yes, we were all misled by him."

Another person chimed in, "Yes, yes, we haven't killed anyone. We're just... we're used to the oppressive life of farming every day, and we just wanted to let loose."

"Oh, so you admit your crimes." Wuwei took out their confessions and had them sign and put their fingerprints on them. After all, this was the imperial era, and things had to be done according to procedure and evidence.

Even if he is one of the Four Heavenly Kings, he cannot disregard the law, can he?

"Sir, will you let us out if we just sign this?"

"Whether you release it or not, that's not my problem." Wuwei's fingernail transformed into a sharp blade, constantly scraping at the bits of flesh on the centipede's body. "But you can suffer a bit inside me, though."

"Then we admit it, we admit it!"

These two were once extremely powerful ninjas, with their earth-style ninjutsu being exceptionally exquisite.

Unfortunately, times have changed, and ninjas have become a menagerie. They have been forced to become wandering ninjas and farmers, but the monotonous life they lead day after day has become boring.

Until one day, a beautiful woman arrived and invited them to do something big, which they naturally accepted gladly.

Who knew that he would pass away before his career was completed!

The current empire is too harsh on their ninjas.

They were just killing a few snobbish fools who looked down on others.

This wouldn't have been anything special in the past, since it was normal for ninjas to massacre villages and cities.

So what's abnormal isn't them, it's the world!

They're clearly driven by the law of the jungle, yet they pretend to be civilized. It's disgusting!

Fortunately, as long as I can survive, I can endure it a little longer. What's wrong with enduring it for a while?

The two of them flipped through the document in front of them. It was a long string of text that they couldn't understand. They recognized all the individual characters, but when put together, they still couldn't quite make sense of it, and the number of characters was unusual.

Finally, they flipped to the last page, checked off their crimes, signed their names, and pressed their fingers.

"Sir, we've already signed!"

Just as Wuwei took the documents, Aburame Shisei's voice came from afar, "Since you have confessed, then execute him on the spot."

No, is that right? Didn't they say there were other procedures to follow?

"Sir, I protest! You are deceiving me!"

"Protest denied!" Wuwei grinned; in fact, he had wanted to do this for a long time.

"I knew it, hah, I knew it. You guys are still so tyrannical at heart. You follow the rules and procedures meticulously, but when a real powerhouse appears, you're just going to kill them without hesitation! What's with all the hypocrisy!"

The androgynous ninja suddenly stood up, his muscles tense, gripping the cage as if trying to pry it open.

However, the harmless insects had already climbed onto their bodies and were slowly gnawing at their flesh.

Fear slowly crept onto their faces, and screams echoed continuously in the dark dungeon.

Seeing her companion's miserable state, it would be a lie to say the beautiful woman standing nearby wasn't frightened.

"Sir, I'd be happy to lead the team!"
