……
"What happened here..." Orochimaru, who was walking halfway down the road, looked at the carriage lying in the grass and the orc corpses piled together, his expression became gloomy.
Has his whereabouts been further discovered by the ninjas of Konoha? No, it should be unlikely. If it was really Konoha's doing, it is absolutely impossible to treat the scene like this hastily.
Wouldn't it be a better choice to kill his men and then hide in the Ibri clan disguised as this to attack him?
Orochimaru looked at the bloody scene, his gloomy face suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha, things are getting increasingly unpredictable. Let me see who else is trying to figure me out in this farce?"
After Orochimaru found no recovery potion in the surrounding area, he continued to run towards the path ahead.
……
Konoha Village…
An ANBU suddenly appeared in the Hokage's office, half-kneeling in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Sandaime-sama, the Uchiha clan has held another large-scale clan meeting. Based on the current empty state of Konoha, it may not be a good thing for the Uchiha clan to gather a large number of clan ninjas in a short period of time."
After hearing the explanation of the ninjas in the audience, Sarutobi Hiruzen took off his Hokage hat and put it on the table, and looked through the window at the position of Senju Tobirama on the Hokage rock wall.
"Well, it seems that the Uchiha clan is quite dissatisfied with Konoha's arbitrary rule."
While Sarutobi Hiruzen was still sighing, Danzo walked in quickly from outside.
"Sarutobi, it seems you have also received the news. The Uchiha clan is probably trying to take advantage of Konoha's emptiness to launch a coup in order to seize actual control of Konoha. Now we have to act quickly. While they are still gathered together, as long as we surround them..."
"That's enough, Danzo, now is not the time. Orochimaru has just defected, and Konoha can no longer stand the torment." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed as he looked at the stone statue between the Senju Gate in the distance.
Danzo looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi's indecisive appearance, and his teeth itched with hatred.
If we don't take action now, why don't we wait until the next "Uchiha Madara" rides the Nine-Tails to bloodbath Konoha? Sarutobi, you are so weak as Hokage. Sure enough, Teacher Tobirama missed the mark back then. Only he can truly lead Konoha to eternal prosperity!
Chapter 24 Xuejian's Betrayal
"Where are those two brats?"
"Did you run there?"
"Let's go and catch up!"
After the two smoke men left, two curtains suddenly opened on the wall here. After Zhixue and Tianzhong looked at each other, they ran toward a gap in the surrounding cave.
"Are you also a ninja from Konoha?"
"I should be the one to ask you this question." Zhixue lifted up one side of her silky bangs, exposed Konoha's steel forehead protector, flicked it, and asked back to the Sky Burial.
Sky Burial scratched his head in distress.
"It seems that you are just an ordinary Konoha ninja. It is really not the right time for you to come out at this time. Let me send you out later. It is really too dangerous here."
Zhixue shook his head at the kind persuasion of sky burial. He was already in the snake's den. He could get the treasure immediately. How could he give up so easily at this time?
"I came here mainly to search for signs of Orochimaru from my commissioned mission, so I followed the clues to catch up." Zhixue made up a reason, then raised his jade-white calves to support the On the rock wall, he took out a map from the ninja bag hanging on his thigh.
Ahem...
When Sky Burial inadvertently saw the looming absolute realm under Zhixue's lotus leaf skirt, he coughed twice with a somewhat rosy face.
Why do you suddenly feel a surge of blood?
Zhixue unfolded the map, and Sky Burial also went up to take a look. Sure enough, it was a map from Konoha to this hidden place. It was almost exactly the same as the one Danzo gave him, except that the entrance was different.
Looking at the map in Zhixue's hand, Sky Burial suddenly thought of the blood-stained girl he saw at the market gate before. Could it be that the map was snatched from Orochimaru's men?
"What is your mission?" Zhixue tilted his head and asked Sky Burial beside him.
"Of course it is to prevent Orochimaru from escaping Konoha's pursuit." Sky Burial said with great conviction. This is indeed what Danzo ordered him to do.
Orochimaru's defection was too sudden, and after he left, he also took away a lot of scientific research materials and results that Danzo needed.
And more importantly, Orochimaru became Konoha's S-class rebel ninja, and the last of the three ninjas also left the village. Now Konoha's strength will be weakened again, and the Uchiha clan, the eager tiger, is still here. If Konoha waits and sees, it will probably cause a lot of chain troubles.
"How do you know Orochimaru must go here?" A strange look flashed across Zhixue's pretty face. The direction Orochimaru walked should be the woods behind Konoha, right? How could it be possible to come here in a circle?
"I was not sure at first, but just now, the Ibri clan has received news from Orochimaru, and it is estimated that he will be here soon."
Zhixue:……
Today is really unlucky, I really met Orochimaru.
……
Ibri land…
Two streaks of smoke drifted in front of Mrs. Wu, gradually returning to her human form.
"How's it going? How are the two brats doing at the back?"
"Report to the leader, we lost track of them. They were running very fast, and the two of them were chasing each other at very close speeds. They even came close to catching up several times, but they seemed to pull away deliberately, like It was done on purpose.”
"Yes, leader, they are all from Konoha, I'm afraid they are deceitful."
After hearing the suggestions from the two guards, my wife pondered for a while, and then ordered to the two of them: "Hurry up and notify the tribesmen in various places to find these two brats. Capture them alive if you can, and kill them if you can't." They, Lord Orochimaru, are kind to us, and we cannot watch him being captured by Konoha."
"Yes!"
The two guards ran down, and Xuemi, who was hiding in the corner, also overheard Wu Tai's order.
Xuejian backed behind a pillar, clenched his hands to cheer himself up and said: "Tianzang finally came back. I will never allow others to hurt him. Leader, I'm sorry, I absolutely, absolutely cannot watch it with my own eyes." Tenzo went to die again..."
After Xue Jian strengthened his belief, he turned into a pink smoke and flew out like a whirlwind.
"Catch the two outsiders and don't let them escape!"
"Yes!"
A guard patrolled the cave, looking around at places where people might be hiding.
"We found them, catch them!"
A guard threw the dagger in his hand and stabbed it into Yamato's back, but after just a burst of smoke, Yamato's body had transformed into a lifelike wooden figure.
Zhixue, who observed this place with his Sharingan, said to the sky burial beside him: "Yamato, it seems you have been exposed."
"My name is not Yamato, my codename is -A."
"Then let's call you Yamato Craftsman, how about the code name - A? Isn't it super cool?" Zhixue scratched the soft hair on the top of his head, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration and patted the sky burial on the shoulder and said.
Sky burial:…
As a ninja at heart, what does he have to do with a completely unrelated career like craftsmanship? He can't use his proud wood escape to build a house in Konoha, right? That would be too shabby, right?
When the two people were hiding in the vent and talking, a pink smoke appeared behind the two people and transformed into a little lolita with brown curly hair.
"Xue Jian? Why are you here? You should leave here quickly. We are being hunted by your people. We can still run if we are seen. If we see you with us..."
When Xuejian heard Tianzhong's worried voice, a warm current flowed through his heart, and he also shook his little head.
"Don't worry, the leader loves me very much and won't do anything to me. Moreover, I have already lost my family once before. I don't want to experience the feeling of separation this time, Tianzang." (This is it. To explain, Tenzo is Yukimi’s younger brother, and the two have a brother-sister relationship.)
Xuejian's two small hands tightly grasped Tianzhong's left hand, and the warm and soft touch seemed to penetrate deeply into Tianzhong's blood, causing his fiery heart to beat.
It was an emotion I had never felt before...
When Zhixue's scarlet eyes were observing the ground, he suddenly saw a burst of gray smoke flying over at high speed from a distance, and the amount of chakra flashing on it was exactly twice that of Zhixue.
"The enemy is coming, Yamato, retreat quickly." Zhixue took out the Grass Pheasant Sword, patted the Sky Burial on the shoulder and said.
Wu Tai rushed toward the location of Zhixue and Tianzhong with smoke. However, when he saw a pink storm sweeping two outsiders towards the outside world, Wu Tai's expression was startled, and then he reacted with anger. Come over.
"Xue Jian, the real Tenzo is already dead! The two of them are just unrelated outsiders. Do you want to help outsiders betray Lord Orochimaru!"
Chapter 25 Movie Experience Card
"They should be right here... Those two damn guys..." My wife's shadow wandered through the winding ventilation ducts and chased towards the road in front of me.
Soon, my wife saw a bright light in front of her. It was not the light from the exit, but a hot flame that could almost drown the passage.
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
After spitting out two fireballs, Zhixue turned around and was about to leave, but was entangled in a burst of black smoke.
"Tell me, where did Xuejian go?" Wutai's low voice came from the black smoke, but Zhixue did not speak. Instead, he showed a sarcastic smile, and then with a puff, such a big person turned into a piece of paper and fell lightly to the ground, with a cute cartoon pattern of a small hand touching the top of the head engraved on it.
(Cue: Comfort your opponent.)
After transforming into a human form, I patted the blackened dust on my body, picked up the paper, and looked at the mocking expression. The anger in my heart began to soar. Then I tore the paper into pieces and threw it into the fire behind me.
"Damn you kid, don't let me catch you!"
……
Outside the dark and deep cave, it was getting late at this time. The faint light of the torch shone in the corridor. Two guards with machetes were guarding the outside of a locked door, looking a little tired.
"Hahahaha... Why hasn't Orochimaru-sama come yet? I feel like I'll fall asleep if it's any later."
"Who says otherwise? If this guy doesn't have the technology to treat our irregular smog, who would listen to a smelly snake?"
"Oh, this is all so that the next generation can truly live under the sun. It's enough to stay in this cave for the rest of your life."
While the two guards were still chatting, there seemed to be a sound in the surrounding passages.
"Huh? Who!?"
"Who is where?"
The two guards raised their machetes vigilantly, and then a slender black shadow gradually appeared in the cave. When they saw this shadow, both of them shrank their pupils.
"Yes, is it Lord Orochimaru?"
"I seem to hear you talking about me?" Orochimaru, with several blood-stained bandages tied around his waist, walked step by step in front of the two guards. His cold and cruel golden pupils scared the two of them.
"No, no, Lord Orochimaru is a great benefactor to our Ibri clan. We were just praising you."
"Okay, open the door. I have to go in and pack my things. I have to leave here later to avoid Konoha's pursuit. But when I succeed in my research outside, I will definitely help you solve your own physical problems. "
Orochimaru said and walked towards the door, but the two guards were in trouble.
"But, Lord Orochimaru, without the leader's order, we can't..."
"But aren't these things mine? Why, can't I take back what belongs to me?" Orochimaru asked the guard in a hoarse voice with a gloomy face.
