Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

"How effective is the mental synchronization?"

“Very good, we used mental synchronization to expand our perception range and thus locked onto Orochimaru.”

"keep in touch."

"it is good."

Hai Yiying's clone disappeared.

Chiba, holding the radio, quickly gave chase—

Orochimaru is just ahead.

He took out a talisman.

The Flying Thunder God Talisman can be used to lock onto the location of the Flying Thunder Formation and provide support. In the ceremony just now, all three special Jonin were present.

This was certainly not a coincidence, but rather the result of Chiba's deliberate invitation.

Unfortunately--

Kakashi and Might Guy were on a D-rank mission and couldn't come to participate, otherwise Chiba would have had one more ally.

Chiba quickly followed.

The Oil Women were already tracking ahead, while the parasitic insects were scattered all around.

Before long, they arrived at a hilltop.

Orochimaru was still using Earth Release to switch positions, but he discovered...

I may be being tracked, and it's a targeted tracking capability.

"The technique of the three generations of old men?"

"Unlikely. That guy's technique is powerful, but it can't be that precise."

"Barrier spell?"

Orochimaru speculated on each point.

but.

This isn't right either.

If it was a barrier technique, how did Chiba manage to do it in Sunagakure?

Even he couldn't understand how Chiba managed to pinpoint his location so precisely and perfectly.

What technique can achieve this?

"Do I really have some fatal flaw?"

Orochimaru is questioning the meaning of life.

Being caught once can be attributed to accident, but being caught twice is no longer accidental.

The other party must have found one of my characteristics!

"Could it be the soul level?"

"So, the method used to lock me down is related to the mountain clan?"

"I haven't seen any Yamanaka clan ninjas at all."

Orochimaru gradually uncovered the root cause.

The mountain clan!

He couldn't help but feel a little relieved afterward.

Yakushi Kabuto is very comfortable with Orochimaru and has no plans to change his assistant for the time being.

Fortunately, Kabuto convinced himself and changed the person who came to eavesdrop.

If it were Orochimaru's original plan, Kabuto would probably have been captured by now—of course, there's also the fact that shadow clones could have infiltrated in place of the real Kabuto.

"Yagyu Chiba is truly not to be underestimated."

It almost tipped over!

Orochimaru's lips curled slightly as he prepared to hasten his departure from the Land of Fire.

however.

At that moment, insects appeared within his perception range.

They're full of parasites.

Immediately afterward, a figure rapidly approached.

Yagyu Chiba!

Chapter 128 Selfless Sacrifice by Jirobo

"You are a genius, but I really can't understand what makes you dare to pursue me like this. Even your teacher Kakashi never dared to lay a hand on me."

Orochimaru originally wanted to mock Kakashi, but remembering how Kakashi had tricked him last time, he had to change his mind.

Chiba noticed the momentary pause.

He smiled.

"Courage, of course!"

"???"

Orochimaru was stunned for two seconds, then chuckled softly, "Although I don't understand what you mean, you're being naive if you think this will anger me."

"do you need?"

"Heh, Kakashi was once just as fearless as you, back when he was already an Anbu member."

It was swarming with parasites!

This……

Then, snakes flew out of the sleeves.

Could it be this special psychic technique?

or……

His sheer killing intent was enough to intimidate the enemy.

Orochimaru licked his lips. "Chiba-kun, there's no one else here. I really admire you. Come and work with me. Let's explore the truth of the ninja world and the secrets of immortality."

Such destructive power, even more terrifying than before.

Orochimaru said, "If you answer..."

Chiba admired him greatly, but...

Orochimaru's pupils shrank.

Yes, I'll eat!

"That's right, I thought my disguise was flawless, but you saw through it both times. Do you have some special mark?"

A summoning array!

"I can let you go!"

"You want to know why I always manage to find you, don't you?"

Chiba smiled brightly.

How could those stingy and conservative families be so generous?

No, there's definitely something fishy going on.

He bit his finger.

Even with her strong will, Chiba had no choice but to fight back with her mental strength.

Latent Shadow Snake Hand!

These harmful parasites...

"Good question, but as a researcher, I think it's best to find the answer myself."

It is evident that Chiba has special methods of identification.

at the same time……

He was well aware of Orochimaru's question.

As he spoke, a surge of murderous intent welled up within him.

However, before it could even attack Chiba, the parasitic insects pounced on him.

"It seems you have no intention of cooperating, that's a pity. May I ask you a small question?"

Orochimaru was puzzled.

Twice, and each time he was recognized, but only Chiba noticed it; the Third Hokage didn't.

The Oil Women clan actually shared the parasitic insects with other tribes?

How can it be!

Only after facing Orochimaru directly did Chiba understand why Kakashi had been at a disadvantage when chasing Orochimaru.

“Thank you for your recognition.”

Saying...

The next instant, a dark cloud emerged from the spirit communication array.

Orochimaru is particularly patient with people who are interested, much like a snake engaging in foreplay when hunting its prey.

Unfortunately, he has no intention of cooperating with Orochimaru for the time being.

The three legendary ninjas were all survivors of battlefields filled with corpses and blood; none of them were pushovers.
