"Senior, how long do we have to wait here... Although according to the intelligence, this is the only way for them to pass, it still takes half a day to get here from Konoha Village! Didn't we arrive a little early?

Um!"

Orochimaru turned his head and looked at the impatient young man beside him, without saying anything~

Suddenly, a small white snake emerged from the woods, crawled to Orochimaru's feet, and climbed up Orochimaru's body along Orochimaru's ankles...

Caressing the little snake in his hand, Orochimaru chuckled and said lightly to the blond young man beside him, "Deidara, we are not early, we are just in time~ be prepared!"

Hearing this, the blond young man named Deidara couldn't help but be startled. He frowned and looked into the depths of the forest. After a moment of silence, he nodded slowly, stretched out his hand and put it into the two robes fastened to his waist.

In a black package...

There was a disgusting chewing sound, and Deidara took his hand out of the package, and in his hand, he was holding two small animal dolls made of clay~

Throwing the small clay animals in his hand to the ground, Deidara made a seal, and these small clay figures swelled up in a burst of smoke~

The clay dolls became huge and even movable!

Looking at the things made from clay, Deidara smiled with satisfaction, turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Orochimaru beside him, and said jokingly, "Senior, have you seen it? This is real art! This is...

The art of explosion! Yeah!”

Orochimaru nodded noncommittally, and said calmly to Deidara, "Be careful~ Deidara, what we have to face is not a simple opponent... Although the above did not ask us to catch him now

,but...I think this is a good opportunity~"

Hearing this, Deidara, who was appreciating his work with satisfaction, couldn't help but be stunned. He turned his head and looked at Orochimaru in surprise and asked, "Senior, you...are you serious? The two of us now...catch Kyuubi."

Jinchuuriki?"

Orochimaru chuckled lightly, showing the expression of a young man who wants to make progress, "Why not? You have to know... It is a very rare thing for the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki to leave Konoha Village, although I don't know why Konoha Village

Some people will let this child go, but for us... this is a rare opportunity!"

Hearing this, Deidara pondered for a moment, then frowned and asked softly, "Then do we need to notify the boss? Tell him to send more manpower? After all, the current state of the two of us... hmm!"

Before Deidara could finish what he said, Orochimaru waved his hand gently and interrupted, "No need! It's too late to say it again~ Now the main one is the one-tailed one. If we can catch the nine-tailed one, we are lucky, even if we catch it

I don’t care and I don’t care. Anyway, your and my mission has been to block their progress from the beginning, right?”

Deidara looked Orochimaru up and down, then grinned and said with a grin, "Senior Orochimaru, you are really too bad~ But I think this is a good idea, since we have nothing to lose anyway!

Just do as you say! In that case...then I have to do more preparations! Hmm!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Deidara opened his palm, two mouths were opened in the palm, and he even stretched out his tongue and gently licked the palm of his hand.

Looking at Deidara who was ready to go, Orochimaru couldn't help but chuckle, and then sighed slightly.

This thing is so weird that even Orochimaru, who is good at maneuvering, is a little confused about the current situation...

Why does Konoha Village still send Naruko on a mission under the current situation? Is it because Ashes didn't send the information to the people in Konoha, or is it because they don't pay attention to it or they don't believe in themselves?

This is not the style of Konoha Village at all! It should be impossible for them to do such a thing~

However, this is an excellent opportunity for Orochimaru. What he just said was not so much for Deidara, but rather for Zee who was monitoring them~

Tilting his head slightly, Orochimaru gently smoothed his hair, and said calmly to Deidara, who was still squeezing the villain next to him, "Here we come, get ready!"

As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, a strong gust of wind came from the woods. The sudden strong wind made Orochimaru startled. Deidara, who was still holding the clay figure in his hand, was blown back two steps.

step~

Feeling the direction of the strong wind, Orochimaru quickly formed seals with his hands and slapped his palms on the ground. Then the mountain shook, and three huge doors suddenly appeared in front of Orochimaru!

"Psychicism! Triple Rashomon!"

The strong wind hit me hard and hit the three gates rising from the ground!

Orochimaru's face instantly became extremely ugly. In just a moment, the first Rashomon was broken through, and the second Rashomon didn't hold up for long, and now, the one standing in front of him and Deidara

The third and final Rashomon door also made a tooth-gripping sound!

With a loud noise, the last door was broken through, and Orochimaru and Deidara finally saw clearly what had broken through their defenses!

A girl with smooth blond hair and a short knife in her hand... The howling wind is wrapping around this girl, entwining around the dagger in her hand~

Naruko broke through the three layers of Rashomon with just one sword, which shows the power of this sword. If it had been hit from the front, they would have died here!

Orochimaru and Deidara, who came to ambush, actually got the upper hand and were caught off guard... This is really ugly~

From the large hole drilled through Rashomon, Deidara also saw the girl holding a short sword. He stood firm, raised his hand suddenly and made a seal, and then shouted with excitement.

!

"Drink!"

The small clay animal that Deidara had pinched before had slipped through the big hole in Rashomon at some point, and quietly touched Naruko's side. At Deidara's command, it emitted a dazzling light.

!

Explosion! A violent explosion! The sky-high flames enveloped Naruko's body, making it difficult to see what was going on inside. It was impossible to know whether she was directly killed and injured, or whether she escaped...

Suddenly, a burst of sound accompanied by the sound of lightning penetrating the air came from the thick fire and smoke. Although there were explosions and burning sounds as a cover, Orochimaru was still keenly aware of this almost undetectable burst.

sound…

The golden snake pupils shrank suddenly, Orochimaru grabbed Deidara who had a joyful smile on his face next to him, and quickly stepped back!

Immediately afterwards, pieces of darts burst out from the fire, and each dart was wrapped with visible lightning~

Lightning flowed on these darts, connected to each other, forming a huge power grid, and flew towards Orochimaru and Deidara overwhelmingly!

Pieces of darts stuck to the ground, and the arcs wrapped around the darts seemed to be stimulated by something. They flickered for a while and soon disappeared...

Fortunately, Orochimaru reacted quickly enough and took Deidara out of there quickly, otherwise he would have been covered! It would be really uncomfortable then!

Deidara, who had been saved his life, looked at the darts on the ground and the remaining electric light on the darts. He couldn't help but swallowed his saliva. He turned to Orochimaru beside him and asked with some uncertainty, "Senior... what kind of ninja is this?"

Technique, why have I never seen it before?"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, with a smile on his lips, and said with interest, "The interesting thing is... I haven't seen it before! It looks like this is an original ninjutsu created by a certain genius!"

As he spoke, the flames of the explosion quietly dissipated, and the breached Rashomon also turned into a burst of white eyes and disappeared without a trace. Orochimaru and Deidara finally saw clearly the people who attacked them...

After letting go of Deidara, who was being held by him, Orochimaru stood up slowly, looked at the four people not far away and said with a smile, "The seventh class of the new generation? It's really nostalgic! It's so nostalgic.

It’s surprising…”

Just like Orochimaru recognized them, everyone in Team 7 also recognized Orochimaru, except Naruko...

"This is really bad! I didn't expect to face such a tough opponent right away...it turned out to be Orochimaru. This is really bad luck!"

Naruko, who didn't know why she wasn't injured in the explosion, put away the blocking dagger in her hand, turned her head to look at Kakashi in surprise and asked, "Huh? Kakashi-sensei, do you know this..."

Sasuke on the side could not help but sigh softly, and said calmly to Naruko, "It's strange that you don't know him. This guy is a legend! One of the legendary Sannin, a disciple of the Third Hokage, by the way, it seems

This person was also a candidate for the Fourth Hokage!"

"Huh? Disciple of the Third Hokage? Candidate of the Fourth Hokage? Isn't that my father's competitor? Such a person should be considered the mainstay of Konoha Village! Why are they here, why..."

While talking, Naruko looked at Orochimaru, looking at the Konoha forehead protector with a slit in the middle that he hung around his neck. He swallowed softly and asked, "Why did he become a traitor?"

Bear it!"

Kakashi shook his head gently and said with a melancholy expression, "I don't know, this matter is top secret in Konoha Village. Only a few people know about it. Unfortunately, I am not among them, but this matter

That’s not the most important thing…”

Hearing Kakashi's words, Sasuke couldn't help but be stunned, turned to look at Kakashi and asked, "Is there anything more important than these?"

Kakashi nodded bitterly, showing an ugly expression. He looked at Orochimaru who was smiling not far away and said softly, "Yes, the most critical and troublesome issue is... Orochimaru once was there."

I have been with Lord Ashes for a while! And I seem to have learned some very troublesome things from Lord Ashes."
