Chapter 166 Orochimaru’s interest, frustrated Asuma, Root Ninja: Did Orochimaru do it?
”Danzo-sama, I failed to intercept that guy after he left, and I felt that he was in a very bad state.”
At the end, the voice of this Root Ninja was filled with hidden annoyance.
You know, that guy was in the same team as him.
And this happened.
Hearing what this guy said, Danzo stared coldly at the Root Ninja who was reporting in front of him.
There is such a thing? It’s simply inexplicable! ”Since he dared to resist, someone must have contacted him behind the scenes.”
Danzo said coldly: “It is very likely that the guy who attacked our Root base before.”
Speaking of this, Danzo slowly stood up.
The shadows stretched out in the dim light, as if they were integrated with his pressure.
Danzo turned his gaze to the core Root members standing beside him.
These were all elites he personally trained, well-trained and powerful.
”Mobilize the team and act immediately.”
Danzo decisively gave the order, his voice grim: “Be sure to capture him alive!”
”Also, see where this guy will go and notify the people outside the village to guard him.”
”Yes!”
Hearing Danzo’s words, several Root ninjas responded quickly and exchanged silent looks with each other.
They knew that Danzo’s decisions were always decisive and cold, and there was no room for maneuver in this action.
Danzo swept his eyes over them, and a cold edge flashed in his eyes: “Remember, don’t take it lightly, the Hyuga clan must also arrange for people.”
Speaking of this, Danzo’s voice was low, and he continued: “Must capture alive!”
Hearing Danzo’s repeated instructions, the elites of the root took the order and left, with vigorous and fast steps.
Their figures moved quickly in the dark passage, as if turning into silent black shadows.
Danzo’s sight followed their backs, his eyes were deep and indifferent.
If possible, he also wanted to go out.
But he was afraid that he would be attacked again.
Even if he went out now, he would use the clone technique to do it.
But he believed that Ding San would definitely not escape his palm! Under Danzo’s command, the ninjas of the root were quickly mobilized.
They each left the Root base, holding weapons and looking alert, forming an invisible hunting net in Konoha Village.
Danzo’s plan was extremely strict. He took all possibilities into consideration to ensure that the guy had nowhere to escape.
The formation of the Root ninjas changed quickly and orderly, operating like a precision machine.
Their figures shuttled between the shadows of Konoha Village, searching unscrupulously.
”Danzo-sama!”
At this time, another Root ninja quickly ran over and reported respectfully; “Hokage-sama sent someone to ask us who we have arrested. If possible, please go to Hokage-sama’s office.”
As he said that, he briefly explained the situation.
Hearing this, Danzo’s face darkened: “Tell him that I am cleaning up the house and I don’t have time to go now.”
Damn Sarutobi, he actually wrongly accused him of arresting people.
“Yes.”
Hearing that Danzo had no intention of continuing to speak, this Root Ninja immediately took the order and left.
And Danzo watched this guy leave, with murderous intent in his eyes.
He was targeting what he had encountered during this period.
Now, even if he is in good health, he dare not walk casually on the streets of Konoha Village.
If he does not find the murderer behind the scenes, he can only live in the Root base.
Being forced to be in the Root base and being in the Root base on his own initiative are two different things!
Now that there is a clue, he does not believe that he can’t catch the murderer behind the scenes! When Danzo thought so, the Root Ninja went out directly and quickly tracked down everything in Konoha Village.
This scene also alarmed many ninjas.
”What is that old thing Danzo doing again?”
In the territory of the Hyuga clan.
Hyuga Hiashi received the words from his family’s assassin, and his face was strange.
They sent out the Root Ninja openly.
In broad daylight, who are they looking for?
”Investigate again and report back.”
Hyuga Hiashi continued to give orders.
It was not only Hyuga Hiashi who was given the order, even Kakashi noticed that the Anbu Ninja’s movements, frowning slightly.
The second round of the Chunin Exam, has even the Root been alarmed?
This shouldn’t be the case.
Based on his understanding of the Root, Danzo didn’t care so much.
But the next second, Kakashi didn’t care.
”Uh.”
On the other side.
Yuhi Kurenai, who was walking to the door of Ichiraku Ramen, saw a Root ninja passing by her quickly, and stopped in astonishment.
What’s going on.
Why are the Root ninjas going out so openly?
Looking for someone?
Who?
Almost instantly, Yuhi Kurenai gave up the idea of opening the jar temporarily.
She took a shower after waking up and prepared to come to Lin Mo’s jar shop to open the jar.
Unexpectedly, she encountered this situation not long after she went out.
The ninjas of the root seemed to be crazy.
”Now is not a good time to open the can.”
For a moment, Kurenai Yuhi looked sad.
It seems that we can only wait a little longer.
Thinking of this, Kurenai Yuhi walked into the Ichiraku Ramen Shop and ordered a bowl of ramen.
And in the distance.
Sarutobi Asuma looked at Kurenai Yuhi with a complicated expression, and his face showed sadness.
The scene he saw last night is still vivid in his mind.
He really wanted to ask Kurenai Yuhi what the relationship between that person and Kurenai Yuhi was.
But when he thought of offending Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi looked sad, and finally sighed deeply and turned away.
Let’s talk to Shikamaru and the others.
Let Shikamaru talk to the team led by Kurenai Yuhi and others, and ask about it indirectly.
Shikamaru and the others are still in the Death Forest of the Chunin Exam.
He still has to go there.
The team led by Kurenai Yuhi has not only passed, but also refreshed the record, making him feel that he is one step behind Kurenai Yuhi.
At this moment.
Outside Konoha Village.
The breeze blew through the branches and leaves, making a rustling sound.
The root shadow that has become a real person has agile and fast steps, walking in the shadows, as if it has merged with the surrounding shadows.
Now he has felt very dangerous, and many people are looking for him, so he wants to leave.
However, when it is about to pass through the dense forest, the atmosphere around it suddenly becomes tense.
Several figures surrounded it silently from all directions.
The root ninjas held weapons and looked grim, forming an invisible hunting circle, locking the shadow that has become a real person in the center.
Everyone’s movements were coordinated and quick, obviously after careful planning and deployment.
”Danzo-sama’s order, lock the target and make sure to capture him alive!”
One of the Root ninjas whispered the order and waved his hand. The other ninjas immediately took action and quickly formed seals.
”Boom!”
”Swish, swish, swish!”
Instantly, countless kunai and shurikens shot from all directions, covering the shadow that had turned into a real person like dense raindrops.
The shadow had no extra time to hesitate.
Quickly dodging, his figure was like a ghost, flexibly avoiding the attack.
”Dang, dang, dang!”
The blade and kunai drew a cold light in the air.
The shadow that had turned into a real person dodged as fast as lightning.
In a few rolls, he quickly counterattacked with several wind escape ninjutsu.
The howling wind stirred the leaves, forcing the Root Ninjas around to temporarily avoid the sharp edge.
”When did Ding San become so proficient in wind escape ninjutsu?”
Seeing this scene, a familiar Root Ninja cursed secretly and suddenly accelerated the rhythm of attack.
”Capture it first.”
As several Root Ninjas communicated, they quickly took action.
”Boom!”
Fire escape ninjutsu and lightning escape ninjutsu appeared, and the sound of explosions and the light of lightning continued in the woods.
The Root Ninjas continued to suppress the real shadow with tacit cooperation, gradually forcing it into danger.
Because they wanted to capture it alive, their speed was very slow.
Otherwise, it would be easy to kill the target.
Although the real shadow was strong, it gradually became powerless in the face of siege.
Although his moves and ninjutsu can imitate the movements of the root ninja, his experience is limited after all, and the rhythm of the battle is firmly controlled by the opponent, so his reaction has been somewhat slow.
However, after just a few confrontations, his movements began to become stiff.
EvenAfter being hit many times, obvious scars appeared on his shoulders and calves.
”Speed up.”
Seeing this, a leading Root ninja gave a cold order, his eyes were like knives, and the speed of the seals in his hands suddenly increased.
Several Root ninjas reacted immediately and formed seals one after another.
”Boom!” A series of earth escape and wind escape intertwined to form a tight encirclement ninjutsu, directly forcing the shadow that had turned into a real person into a dead corner.
The shadow that had turned into a real person could not dodge in time and was instantly trapped between the earth wall and the wind blade.
”Hua La La!”
The next second, several iron chains suddenly shot out, locking his limbs tightly.
For a moment, his face changed drastically and he struggled desperately.
But as he struggled, he could only feel that he was getting deeper and deeper, and the pressure from all around him suppressed his movements like an iron clamp.
Root ninjas approached step by step, ruthlessly preparing to capture her completely.
”Huh.”
However, just when the shadow that had turned into a real person was about to be completely controlled, a strange cold light suddenly flashed beside.
Accompanied by a cold breath.
Instantly, a huge snake shadow suddenly jumped out of the bushes next to it, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced directly at the root ninjas! ”What?!”
The sudden situation shocked the root ninjas, and a trace of astonishment and disbelief flashed in their eyes.
Where did the snake come from?
”Is it the murderer behind the scenes that Danzo-sama is looking for?”
One root ninja thought of something, and his eyes instantly turned cold.
He had also experienced the bombing of the root base and the attack on Danzo-sama before.
The reason why Lord Danzo arrested this guy was because he suspected that this guy was related to the murderer behind the scenes!
However, they didn’t have time to think too much. The snake was extremely fast and powerful. It bit the weapon of one of the root ninjas, threw it out, and smashed it hard on the ground.
”Retreat first!”
The root ninjas were shocked by this sudden change and retreated immediately.
”It’s Orochimaru!”
The next second, a root ninja who was about to continue to take action instantly recognized the source of the snake shadow, his face suddenly changed, and he was shocked and angry.
”What!”
”Orochimaru?”
”How could it be!”
No matter how much they thought about it, they didn’t expect that there would be such a dangerous existence here.
Orochimaru, the rebel ninja of Konoha Village, would suddenly intervene in this matter, which was really unexpected.
The most important thing is that Orochimaru shouldn’t intervene.
And Orochimaru’s figure slowly emerged from the shadows, with a sneer on his face, his eyes full of teasing and contempt.
Raising his hand and gently patting the giant snake beside him, Orochimaru sneered: “It’s really lively. Danzo sent you guys to catch this guy. It’s too much to think highly of him. Does he have any secrets?”
Originally, Orochimaru was going to leave here first to observe Uzumaki Naruto.
Unexpectedly, he encountered such an interesting scene.
Danzo actually sent a Root ninja to capture a Root ninja in broad daylight.
Or capture him alive.
He was very curious, could this guy have any secrets.
But aren’t those the secrets of Danzo? ?
What else can there be? But he decided to capture him first.
Anyway, Danzo can slowly negotiate with him later.
”You did it!”
The Root Ninja glared at him, his eyes full of murderous intent and anger, and even disbelief.
It shouldn’t be Orochimaru.
How could Orochimaru attack Danzo? However, facing the gaze of the Root Ninja, Orochimaru didn’t care at all.
Instead, he stared at the trapped real-life shadow with appreciation, as if he was looking at a particularly interesting work.
”Don’t worry, I’m very interested in the person you captured, so I’m helping you.”
Orochimaru laughed in a low voice, his tone was cold, with a playful sarcasm.
While speaking, another big snake appeared around.
The Root Ninjas looked gloomy, and the speed of the seals in their hands increased.
But facing such a powerful opponent, they had to be wary in their hearts.
The two sides were on the verge of a fight, and the air was filled with tense murderous intent.
The joining of Orochimaru caused the originally one-sided roundup to get out of control instantly, and the Root Ninjas were forced to adjust their formation and confront Orochimaru again.
At this moment, the shadow who had turned into a real person had taken advantage of the chaos to escapeHe was freed from his restraints, and quickly retreated, standing vigilantly behind Orochimaru.
”Follow me for now. I’m curious about what secrets you have of Danzo that allow him to capture you.”
Seeing the real shadow, Orochimaru tilted his head slightly and chuckled, his voice carrying an irresistible temptation.
Although the real shadow didn’t understand, he stood quietly in place.
He had realized that he couldn’t leave here.
And the guy in front of him could help him.
”Back off.”
The next second, Orochimaru looked at the Root Ninja in front of him and said slowly: “Tell Danzo that I took his people away first and will bring them back to him.”
”Impossible!”
Hearing this, the Root Ninja looked angry.
Even if Orochimaru is very dangerous, the order of Danzo is the most important.
But when they thought of the danger of Orochimaru, they seemed to be no match at all. They gritted their teeth for a while, but could do nothing.
“Let’s do it!”
Finally, the Root Ninjas gritted their teeth and launched a joint attack without hesitation.
In an instant, several Root Ninjas quickly formed seals, and various Ninjutsu swept towards Orochimaru like a storm.
”Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!”
”Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!”
”Lightning Style: Ground Walk!”
”Boom!”
Flames, winds, and lightning intertwined into a terrifying energy net, which exploded with a bang.
The surrounding trees were instantly scorched, the ground was split, smoke and dust filled the air, and fire flickered.
Several Root Ninjas took the opportunity to quickly approach the real person’s shadow, intending to capture it in one fell swoop in the chaos.
Their purpose was just to delay Orochimaru and take people away, not to fight with Orochimaru.
Seeing this, Orochimaru’s eyes flashed with disdain.
With a sneer, he twisted his body like a snake and easily avoided most of the attacks.
Faced with the overwhelming ninjutsu, Orochimaru just slightly turned sideways, flicked his fingers, and instantly used the unmarked ninjutsu.
”Hua La La!”
Several huge snake shadows rushed out from the ground, opened their bloody mouths and bit the Root Ninjas with fierce force.
The Root Ninjas saw that the situation was not good, and immediately changed their formation and quickly performed defensive ninjutsu, but they were still beaten back by the snake shadows and could not get close at all.
Orochimaru’s movements were as fast as a ghost, as if he was dancing on the battlefield, and his eyes showed the coldness and enjoyment of the battle.
”Come again!”
The Root Ninjas gritted their teeth. Although they were repeatedly frustrated, they did not dare to have the slightest thought of retreating.
A ninja suddenly jumped up, and the kunai in his hand pierced Orochimaru’s throat with a cold light.
The other two ninjas used earth escape and water escape respectively, attacking from both sides, blocking Orochimaru’s retreat.
”Stupid.”
Seeing this, Orochimaru shook his head slightly, his expression was indifferent, and there was a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.
Then he made a seal with one hand, and a water escape·water prison technique was quickly formed, trapping several root ninjas tightly.
The water flow was as hard as steel, freezing their movements in an instant, and no matter how they struggled, they could not escape.
”Orochimaru Haihu pad hand seal?”
Seeing this scene, the Root ninja’s eyelids twitched violently.
I haven’t heard that Orochimaru can do this.
”This body is really troublesome.”
At the same time, Orochimaru, who easily avoided all attacks, was not excited at all, but sighed.
With a sigh, his footsteps silently shuttled through the gaps between ninjutsu like sliding.
Suddenly, he gently waved his palm, and a snake bite technique quickly attacked a root ninja in the front.
The ninja had no way to avoid it, and was directly entangled by the giant snake, and the whole person was thrown out.
With a “bang!”, he hit the tree trunk heavily, and blood flowed from his mouth.
”Do you want to continue?”
Orochimaru sneered, his eyes full of teasing and contempt.
He did not hide his disdain for these root ninjas, and his relaxed attitude was particularly dazzling. ”Damn Orochimaru!”
”Not a match at all.”
Several root ninjas were shocked back one by one, and exchanged angry and helpless looks with each other.
Orochimaru could easily resolve every attack they made.
Not only that, the opponent’s counterattack was swift and deadly, leaving them with no way to defend themselves.
The real shadow was also struggling in the melee.
It keenly sensed the Root Ninja’s intention to capture it, and tried desperately to avoid it.Avoid attacks, while imitating the opponent’s movements to protect itself.
Although its combat ability is not good, in this situation, its instinct and desire for survival stimulate powerful potential.
Seeing that the shadow that has become a real person is about to be caught again, Orochimaru appears like a ghost and blocks the Root Ninja.
”Swish!”
A sharp Kusanagi sword suddenly appeared in Orochimaru’s hand, and the sword flashed, rushing straight to the Root Ninja in the front.
The Root Ninja was startled and hurriedly defended, but was forced back by Orochimaru’s swift attack. His body fell heavily to the ground and groaned in pain.
The offensive of the Root Ninjas was instantly suppressed, and each of them looked extremely ugly, but helpless.
Orochimaru’s strength far exceeded their imagination.
Even though they were the most elite troops under the command of Master Danzo, they seemed extremely vulnerable at this moment.
“You guys are not qualified to attack me.”
Oshimaru sighed: “Do you still want to continue? If you continue, you will lose your life, which is not good.”
