Chapter 699: Lie—

Facing the curiosity of Akatsuki's members, Orochimaru's mouth cracked open and he laughed twice.

"I'm not going to tell you why I'm there because I value my privacy…"

"However, about Rifan, it's really interesting to share it with other people."

After a pause, Orochimaru continued, 

"I just happened to pass by at Kirigakure."

"There, I saw a little girl with good talent, so I wanted to recruit her as my subordinate."

"But obviously, I'm not alone in seeing her.

"She, in the end, was not able to become my subordinate."

Hearing this, Konan frowned and said:

"Orochimaru, do you mean that Rifan likes the little girl you want to recruit?"

"As expected of the angel of the Akatsuki organization, that's right." Orochimaru laughed, "Rifan claimed that he planned to take that little girl as his disciple."

"And he did take the little girl."

Orochimaru raised his head to look at the ceiling, where, even if the sky was cut off, Orochimaru's sight of the golden list was not cut off.

"I thought I would soon see that little girl on the Golden List to challenge someone on the list."

"What's interesting though is that she hasn't started the challenge until now."

"I don't know if it's because the little girl is too young."

"If so, even an existence like Rifan can't train her to be a strong person who can defeat Kage-level ninjas for a while."

Hearing Orochimaru's words, Payne and the others fell into thought.

According to the previous situation, after Rifan accepted Terumi Mei and Samui as his disciples.

They all grew up in a very short period of time, and boarded the challenge field of the golden list, and also successfully defeated their opponents and won the battle.

Coupled with the strange props that Rifan had at hand, no matter how young the little girl Orochimaru said was, it wouldn't stop her from growing up.

After all, in the ninja world, there are many children who go to the battlefield at the age of six and perform well.

"Could it be that the little girl was prepared by Rifan for Senju Hashirama?"

"He wants new disciples to intercept the First Hokage's rewards?"

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Konan's mind.

"Intercepting the First Hokage's reward?" Orochimaru's eyes lit up, "Perhaps, it's not impossible."

"Is she going to defeat First Hokage? Interesting, it seems that I can continue to watch this golden list performance." Kakuzu, who had been silent all the time, became interested when he heard about the First Hokage.

"Hey, Kakuzu, didn't you say that you fought with First Hokage before? Why didn't you come to challenge First Hokage this time?" Hidan looked at his partner with a strange look. "And since you can fight First Hokage, why isn't there a place in the kage list that belongs to you?""

Hearing this, Kakuzu's forehead had blue veins.

Although he has always been proud to have fought First Hokage, he has often claimed so.

But only he knew that he threw a kunai at Senju Hashirama eight hundred miles away.

In Senju Hashirama's eyes, it wasn't even called a battle.

Originally such a lie was nothing, after all, in the era of the First Hokage, everyone except Kakuzu had died of old age or died in battle.

But now the golden list has appeared, and a kage ninja list has also been listed.

It would be too embarrassing if someone asked about Kakuzu at this time.

"Cough, you idiot, the Kage Ninja List only chooses ninjas with the title of Kage. I am not Kage, and of course I won't be on the Kage Ninja List."

Kakuzu glared at Hidan and said angrily.

"That's true, but why don't you take on the First Hokage once so you can continue the battle you've never finished?"

"I'm not interested, I don't want to expose my abilities now. If you want to fight, you can go by yourself."

Kakuzu frowned, although he was also intrigued by the various scheduled rewards on the Golden List.

But he also fears that fighting in front of the world will reveal the secret of his longevity to the public.

In this way, he will lose a lot of advantages when fighting other people in the future.

"I'm not interested." Hidan shook his head, "Those guys on the Golden List have the healing authority of the Golden List. Even if I kill them, the Golden List will be able to restore them. Lord Cthulhu will definitely not like my contribution to such incompetence dissenting corpse's."

Although Hidan doesn't mind exposing his abilities, he is also not interested in battles where he can't sacrifice his opponents bodies to the evil God he worships.

"Okay, here we go, everyone."

"There is a new move on the Golden List.

Hidan and Kakuzu were interrupted by Payne's voice, and they looked up at the golden list.

Sure enough, they saw something worthy of their attention.

'That guy Hashirama, is he finally going to star?'

Kakuzu whispered.
