The Red Moon of Konoha

Chapter 173 Jiraiya's mouth escape
"Bang!!!"

His fist rubbed heavily on his soft belly.

The dull impact echoed in the dark and cold cave.

"Yuck~~~"

The girl with a pair of cicada-like wings growing on her ribs couldn't stand upright, her fluttering wings lost all strength, and she knelt down on the ground, opening her mouth wide like a fish out of water, accompanied by a sound from her throat. He groaned in pain and spit out a puddle of yellow bile.

"Nana!!!"

Seeing her sister's miserable appearance, Yeyezi, who is an older sister, was very anxious.

"Half-hearted in front of me? You are very courageous!" One hand twisted Yeyezi's arm covered by the pale armor, and his body suddenly exerted strength, directly dragging the distracted Yeyezi One of them staggered and lost his balance, then exerted his muscles, and with his backhand, he threw the girl flying like a javelin, and slammed into the opposite rock wall fiercely.

A loud bang of "dong" echoed in the cave.

Although the noise was loud, people were fine.

What happened was that the rock wall was hit again and again, and finally it could not bear the humiliation, and it was broken and peeled off.

This is not surprising.

Yeyezi, who has been cursed and imprinted, is already out of the category of ordinary human beings. As long as the vitals are not directly pierced by a sharp blade, the damage caused by blunt weapon strikes will be greatly weakened. Of course, this is limited , if it breaks through the upper limit of tolerance, it should be over and it must be over.

Curse imprinting is not immortality.

"Fight, you must concentrate, especially when facing an opponent stronger than you."

"You dare to be distracted in the face of enemies stronger than you. It can only be said that you are really lucky to survive until now, or... the enemies you have encountered so far are worse than you, but As my subordinate, the enemy you will face in the future is not that kind of trash, if you don't want to die too quickly with your sister, then concentrate on learning to be beaten for me."

"Now, stand up."

Longshu stepped forward step by step.

Looking down at the girl with the pale one-horn like a rhinoceros horn on her forehead and the forearms of her two arms wrapped in pale armor, this posture is the girl's curse-sealed appearance, and her sister's ribs have wings completely different.

Through these experiments again and again, the experimental data of [Curse of Void] has gradually been enriched.

All recipients who accept the [Curse of Void] will secrete a white liquid substance, and it will be shaped into different shapes. Even the losers will secrete this hardened substance that is as hard as steel after being shaped, and so far Everyone's appearance is different so far, and there have been no repeated examples.

Even twin sisters have two completely different postures.

Ye Yezi stood up.

Roaring in a low voice, he rushed towards Longshu again.

the other side.

Nanawei, who had finished vomiting, flapped the cicada-like wings under her ribs again. Although she could not fly high, she was able to glide at low altitude. Using this as a means, the girl circled the dragon tree, waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack. In the repeated beatings by Nagarjuna, he constantly honed his fighting skills.

And on the edge of the underground river, another dragon tree is instructing Miwa Mitake to practice the skills of treading water.

In the other corner of the cave, Akashi was fighting Nagarjuna, sharpening his short sword skills.

All of these are the water body of Nagarjuna.

Compared with the shadow avatar, the water avatar has only one-tenth of the power of the main body, and it is undoubtedly more friendly to use as a sparring partner for Miwa Mitake and the others. Although the water avatar cannot pass back memory and experience... But Nagarjuna There is no need for the memory of such abusive dishes.

What he needs are subordinates who grow up quickly under harsh beatings.

Judging from the current situation, the progress is pretty good. Strictly speaking, these subordinates are not very good.

They knew very well that being beaten by Nagarjuna's water body was a good thing that many people dare not even think about, so they worked hard when they practiced. Hold on, as long as you still have consciousness, you can still hold on.

Because there is really no one under his command now, Longshu spends so much effort in cultivating these four barely passable seedlings.

In the future, the new subordinates may not be treated so caringly.

However, the perseverance shown by Akashi and Miwa Mitake made Nagarjuna quite gratified, and finally he didn't waste all his hard work!

underground base.

There is no day and night, no seasons.

Here, there are only three things: eating, sleeping, and practicing. The time to go to the toilet is compressed within 3 minutes, which can be ignored. As for taking a bath... there is no need to take a bath. Thump around in the river, come up and continue to practice.

So, it all boils down to three things.

----

Black Hat Mountain.

The battle between Toad and Orochi bulldozed a large forest. This battle lasted from noon to dark. In the end, Orochimaru chose to hit Jiraiya's [Frog Kumite] hard, and his right arm was directly interrupted, with Half of her body was beaten to pieces, but she also took this opportunity to run away in the dark.

Yes, he just ran away, just like that in front of Jiraiya.

Although Jiraiya chased after him all the way, he finally lost the trace of Orochimaru at the junction of Tianzhi Country and Iron Country.

Looking at the snowy forest in front of me.

Jiraiya's face was ashen, but he had to admit that Orochimaru escaped from his hands again.

Orochimaru's complicated and secretive methods, even Jiraiya, this once close teammate, only knows a little bit about it, confronting head-on, Orochimaru can't stop Jiraiya's onslaught in sage mode, but Orochimaru wants to escape... ·····

The plan that Jiraiya spent a lot of time thinking about this time still failed to leave Orochimaru.

"asshole!"

Jiraiya punched the black pine tree beside him.

The black pine, which could only be hugged by five or six people, was broken by his punch.

The black pine tree crashed down and hit the snow, splashing countless snow foam.

The bitterness of the Iron Country is not for words.

This is a country that is almost as weird as the Land of Frost. Next to it is the Land of Fields known as the "granary of the mainland", but the Land of Iron is covered with snow all year round. If there is no Snow Country already, Maybe the Iron Country has long been renamed the Snow Country.

It is impossible to change the name. After the warriors occupied the Iron Country, they liked the name very much.

Jiraiya was standing on the land of the Iron Country at this moment, looking at the white snow field, feeling depressed.

"Jiraiya, I'm going back, it's really bad luck today, I was escaped by that stinky snake..."

Toad Bunta is also irritable, and it didn't gain the upper hand in the battle with Wan Snake. Although it cooperated with the Wan Snake that Jilai also burned with fire to force it to shed its skin once, it was also thrown by the snake. Its vest is very tight now. painful.

"Little Ziraiya, we're going back too, this damn place is too cold."

"Boss, big sister, thank you for your troubles."

"It's okay, it's okay, compared to this, Ziraiya, you should go as soon as we leave! Orochimaru is very insidious, don't fall for it, if you really have anything to ask us, don't be afraid of trouble Ah." Immortal Zhima, with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, repeatedly urged.

"I will be careful."

Zilai replied with a wry smile.

The anger on his face melted a little.

The Art of Two Lives, lifted!
After disengaging from Immortal mode, fatigue flooded in like a tidal wave, almost drowning him, but this fatigue was not enough to make Jiraiya also fall down. He is now at the peak of energy and experience in his life, if there is If necessary, it would be no problem to fight Orochimaru for another [-] rounds - of course in the state of immortal mode.

Once again looking at the boundless snow field and the vast and deep snow forest, Zilai let go of the regrets in his heart, turned around and left, and went back to Tianzhiguo along the original road.

Wait until Jiraiya's back completely disappears at the end of the white snow field.

A frozen big snake struggled to get out from the depths of the snow, opened its mouth wide, covered in mucus, and the big snake pill, which was missing a left leg, crawled out of the big snake's mouth.

"call!!"

Orochimaru was short of breath.

He lowered his head and looked at the lower half of his body that was burnt by Jiraiya's fire escape technique, and opened his mouth wide again with difficulty. A pair of hands full of mucus opened Orochimaru's mouth...

He shed his old shell.

Regeneration is complete.

However, Orochimaru, who had completed the regeneration, fell headlong into the snow and had no strength to get up for a while. He used his original double regeneration technique several times in a row, especially the two toads on Jiraiya's shoulders this time. He actually controlled him with an auditory-type illusion, and was almost captured alive by Jiraiya.

It's a good thing that Zilai doesn't know his details, and it's a good thing that he has already transformed himself out of the limitations of ordinary people.

Jilai didn't really grasp his vitals.

This gave him the opportunity to escape.

But as the price of being almost captured alive, his chakra was almost squandered. Now he really needs a little time to recover his breath before he can continue to squeeze his body and spirit and refine new chakra.

"Jiraiya...you idiot!!!"

His face was covered with icy snow.

Orochimaru cursed Jiraiya bitterly for causing him to end up like this, "Fortunately, it took me a month to study reincarnation eyes, otherwise I would really lose money this time..."

After lying on the snow for a few minutes, Orochimaru extracted a new chakra.

Jieyin summoned a new big snake and took him away from this ghostly place that can freeze people to death.

----

"Jiraiya-sama? Are you kidding me?"

"Oshemaru ran away?"

"You...you are kidding us!!"

Land Country, Daming Mansion.

Kakashi was so depressed, they managed to finish the yakuza's bad business, gearing up, ready to investigate the truth of Orochimaru's news... In the end, Jiraiya came to tell them that Orochimaru was beaten away by him up.

"Don't worry, it's true that Orochimaru ran away, but his lair in Black Hat Mountain is still there! Let's go search together, maybe we can find other clues about Orochimaru." Jilai also smiled , Speaking of this matter, it is true that he did not trust Kakashi's ability, so he did it alone.

As a result, Orochimaru escaped from Tianzhi Country and disappeared.

As a result, Kakashi and the others' missions were...completed.

Lynn doesn't really care about that.

But Kakashi, Asma, and Akai strongly protested against Jiraiya's deprivation of their mission.

Among the three, Asma was the most disappointed. He really wanted to use a task like this to prove to his old man that he was no longer that kid who didn't understand shit. Also this guy ruined it.

Speaking of which, Jiraiya is a disciple of three generations.

But when Jiraiya and the others practiced with the three generations, Asma hadn't even been born yet!

When Asma was born, Ziraiya and the others had already left their teachers, and the three of them were the kind of maverick masters, basically they would not visit the homes of the three generations, which led to Ah, who was originally from the same school as Jilai. The relationship between Sima and Jiraiya is very ordinary, that is, the kind of ordinary acquaintances who met each other, but basically talked about three generations of ordinary acquaintances.

"Orochimaru has run away, what else is there to search for in a lair? Alas!!!"

Asma sighed deeply.

How could his luck be so bad!Obviously acting together with Kakashi this time, it should be somewhat of Kakashi's good luck, right?Could it be that his luck was so bad that even Kakashi was dragged into the water by him?
Jilai also took a look at Sarutobi's youngest son, a little confused what this kid was thinking, did he really think Orochimaru was a soft-legged shrimp?This time, he spent a lot of effort to persuade the two immortals to use [Immortal Art, Magic, Toad Singing], but in the end he was still escaped by Orochimaru.

No, I have to find a way to correct the arrogant attitude of this kid Asma, lest I lose my life because of it in the future, and it will be Sarutobi-sensei who will be sad.

"Asuma, is that why you want to catch Orochimaru?"

"Isn't this natural? If you can catch Orochimaru, you won't have to look at the old man's face when you go home." Asma said sullenly.

"Ok?"

I was also a little confused.

This seems to be different from what he thought?
He decided to ask again,

"Do you think Orochimaru is so easy to catch?"

"How is it possible? You think I'm stupid! If Orochimaru was so easy to catch, he would have been taken back to the village to dispose of it. How could it be my turn?" Asma snorted and looked at herself dissatisfied. Lai Ye, he felt that Zi Lai was also making fun of him.

"Then you...you know Orochimaru is so dangerous, why are you still so enthusiastic?"

Come and ask again.

"Then why don't you ask Kakashi and Akai why they are so enthusiastic?" Asma looked at Jiraiya suspiciously, he felt that Jiraiya was really trying to trick him this time.

"Kakashi's enthusiasm is because he is in a hurry, Akai...he is such a warm-hearted person." Jiraiya originally wanted to say that he was a fool, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate to say that. Through his observation , It can also be seen that Akai is not a genius in the conventional sense, but a hard-working 'genius'.

It is somewhat similar to myself to some extent!

Of course, he just didn’t get enlightened when he was a child, but after a trip to Mt. Miaomu, he got enlightened, and since then he has soared into the sky...

But no matter what, say Akai is an idiot to his face... forget it!

"Anyway, Asma, I won't go around with you anymore. What I really want to say is don't underestimate that guy Orochimaru. Even I dare not be careless about the danger of Orochimaru. Don't think it's just to confirm the news. There is no danger if it is true or false, but if it is true that it meets Orochimaru..."

Jilai also paused, looking at the four boys and girls in front of him.

"Except for Kakashi who can use his ninja tool to escape, the three of you... can't escape."

Kakashi lowered his eyes and didn't say anything, but clenched his fists around his waist.

Akai laughed silly, and was praised by Master Jiraiya for his enthusiasm, which made him very happy, and immediately decided to record this matter in his heart, and shared it with his father when he returned to the village.

Lin knelt quietly and sat aside, anyway, she was indifferent from the beginning.

"...Let me tell you the truth! From the very beginning, I was not in favor of Minato sending you guys here. You are still very young and haven't reached the peak you can reach. Don't be ruined by a moment of enthusiasm. Lose your future."

Zilai also continued to teach them a lesson.

At the beginning, he was quite guilty of being accused by Kakashi and the others.

But now that I said a few words, I suddenly became a little bit overwhelmed, and the depression that was escaped by Da Shewan was still buried in my heart, and it also flared up at this moment, so I couldn't help putting on the airs of being a teacher, and taught me a lesson Four little guys.

This reminded him of the days when he taught Yahiko, Nagato and Konan in the Land of Rain.

As for Minato... this apprentice is too smart. When teaching Minato, he only worried about one thing, that is, Minato's learning speed is too fast. He is always worried that his ability is limited, and Minato, which is called a treasure, is wasted. talent!
"Asma, I can guess what you are thinking about. Are you planning to use this mission to prove yourself to Sarutobi-sensei?" He cast his knife-like gaze on Asma.

Rubbing her lips, Asma wanted to refute, but opened her mouth, but did not speak.

At this time, he really couldn't do the thing of opening his eyes and talking nonsense.

"I thought so."

Finally, he honestly admitted.

"······Asma, I don't know the conflict between you and Sarutobi-sensei, so I don't intend to scold you, I just remind you here, before making a certain decision, you should pay more attention. Think twice, will your decision bring you danger, will it bring danger to the people around you, Kakashi, this also applies to you, as the captain, your decision will affect you The life and death of the subordinates."

Asma was silent.

Kakashi's pupils shrank sharply, and he... remembered the matter of Frost Hidden Village.

Before he knew it, he seemed to have made the same mistake again.

Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the serious-looking Lin, the foolish Akai, and the dejected Asma...Cold sweat broke out suddenly. If there was no interference from Mr. Jiraiya, if they really met Orochimaru, maybe the story of Shuangyin Village will be repeated again!
He didn't dare to think about it anymore. If something happened to Lin, he would never forgive himself in his life.

"Sorry, Ziraiya-sama, I was the one... reckless!"

Kakashi lowered his head deeply.

"I... sorry!"

Asma apologized endlessly.

"Okay, let's cheer up! Orochimaru has run away, but the lair is still there! Let's all prepare, and then we will copy Orochimaru's lair."
