Orochimaru Hideout Novels & Stories

“Where. Is. He?” Glass shattered as Thomas dropped two men trying to storm the stairs. His voice was a growl over the chaos. “Rival, make it quick!” Moreno finally broke. “Upstate! He’s hiding upstate, outside Albany, on the training grounds—they’re rebuilding!” My chest went tight. Base Two wasn’t gone. They were multiplying. I yanked the blade free, blood gushing hot across my hands. Moreno slumped, sobbing, shaking. “You should’ve kept quiet,” I whispered. Then I drove the knife up through his jaw, into his skull. His eyes went glassy before his body even sagged.

And Tim had chosen me for the first time instead of running to Eric's aid, the thought made an ugly twist in my chest. Phil followed my gaze toward the estate and muttered, “Still weird to think this whole place is his actual headquarters.” “He hid it well,” I replied. That part still irritated me. All this time we had been looking for hidden warehouses, underground facilities, and abandoned buildings. Meanwhile Kagemoto Kazama had been operating from the same luxurious estate everyone already knew belonged to him. Right in plain sight. No wonder nobody suspected it. Peter’s voice came again through the comms. “Outer guards are fewer than usual. Most of the men are still at the port.”

“I am not going anywhere. This war must stop, now.” Bozo chuckled. Kachi had broken out of his hiding place and was running towards them. In his hands was the rein of Bozo’s black stallion. A horse he had named, Ghost, some few days ago. “Take her to safety,” Bozo grunted and took the rein from the commander, “Make sure her injuries are attended to.” Kachi nodded and tried to take Ejima, but the woman would have none of it. “I said this war should end now.”

Neither of the two gave way to their true feelings for the other, just for Serafina's sake. And speaking of Serafina... "Give..." Alessio stammered out with a shaky breath, recalling that he had the Regnante hidden away in his bedroom, and given her nature, she had just heard everything. "Give me a moment," Standing up from his place, he walked to his room and cursed under his breath to see the door ajar. Pushing it open, his heart ached in his chest to see his window thrown open as he gritted his teeth.

"A direct hardware bridge. I have to physically walk into his server room and slam an exploit drive straight into a local routing node." Dominic rested his palms flat on the wood. "Where is the box?" Sophia spun her monitor around, pointing at a red dot on the digital city map. "We’ve been tracking Ichiro's real estate fronts. He bought an old logistics center in the East Sector last week. Power consumption in the basement just spiked into the red." "That’s his local brain," Noah confirmed. Dominic stared at the marker. "Hugo ran surveillance there yesterday. It’s a fortress. Twelve armed Japanese operatives holding the perimeter, overlapping patrol routes with thermal optics. You think you

"But I felt it." That got my attention. "Felt what?" I asked. "Power," he said. "Not like anything I've seen before. It… hummed. Like it was alive." A cold weight settled in my stomach. Old. Powerful. Unknown. "Where is she now?" I asked. Orin hesitated. Then he moved to a table, pulling out a worn map. He spread it open, tapping a point along the mountains. "Here," he said. "An old fortress. Abandoned years ago."

I withdrew my gaze and turned to see Evie staring at me with a worried expression. “What were you looking at?” She asked, and I lowered my gaze and stared at the vase. This happened again. I lifted my gaze to her again. “Tell me, where did the informant find Malakai's hideout?” I asked. Evie stared at me for the longest time with her lips pursed. The look in her eyes seemed to be asking if anything was wrong. “Far east, almost closer to the lower town. There is a small hideout there with trees surrounding it.”

Erick said standing up, “You say he knew about us? That everything we did was in vain?” “Yes, and that’s why he brought the entire building down.” Allorah said with a sigh. “Did you have any clues of where he was? He must have had escaped,” my mother asked Allorah. “He did not escape,” Allorah said frowning, “He hid inside a bunker that was under ground on that building. Not only that, but…” “But what?” I asked. Allorah stayed quiet. She was debating with some inner thought. What was she hiding?

If I judge from the layout of the harbor, it can be split into three areas: The cargo section, the ship docks, and the main hideout, which is the building in the middle. Both the cargo section and the ship docks are heavily guarded, but the main hideout seems to be guarded by a ghost... not a single soul is in it except... Hitoshi and his son. And there seem to be two tunnels underneath the ground which can be used as an escape route... so I should tell that to Sir Rigor. The harbor is surrounded by a ten-meter high wall, and no one seems to be guarding it, so it should be a walk in the park. But here comes our most formidable obstacle.

Yamato said in realization "We have to rescue the others" "Not that" Orie replied "The others can rescue themselves" "Then what is this new mission" Yamato asked. Then Orie smiled and replied "Do you remember the bounty that was placed on Shiro's head" "Yes" Yamato answered "Two hundred million Arabian gold bars" Then Orie let out a suspicious laugh that scared Yamato a little. "What if I told you..." He said "... that I know where it is being kept" Yamato didn't know when he joined Orie in the suspicious laugh.
