The root group moved very quickly, reaching the border by noon.

There were two teams in total, and all of them except the leader wore animal masks and black robes.

However, Hoshino Shuichi was extremely surprised by the person in charge.

Orochimaru!

Snake Aunt!

It's already reached the root area so quickly?

Upon seeing Orochimaru, Minato Namikaze immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Lord Orochimaru."

"Watergate..."

Orochimaru's gaze swept over the prisoners on the ground. "Are these the only ones?" he asked.

Minato Namikaze said, "Two Sand Ninja, two wandering ninjas, and the rest are villagers from that village."

Orochimaru nodded, then looked at Hoshino and the other two with a look of great interest.

However, whether it was Hoshino Shuichi, Uchiha Shisui, or Kurama Sanyou, they all couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

The chilling aura emanating from Orochimaru was truly unsettling, and his gaze made Hoshino Shuichi and the other two feel as if they were being watched by a venomous snake.

But the three had no choice but to step forward and bow: "Lord Orochimaru!"

Orochimaru withdrew his gaze, looked at Minato Namikaze, and smiled, "Three very good disciples."

One was a genius from the Uchiha clan, one was from the Kurama clan, and the other was a renowned commoner genius. He already knew about them before he came.

"Minato, could you lend us one of your disciples to take us to that village?"

Orochimaru said.

Minato Namikaze's expression changed slightly, and he was about to speak when Orochimaru said, "Minato, you still need to stay here and ensure that these prisoners don't escape. You only need one guide. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Minato Namikaze was unable to refute for a moment, but looked at Hoshino and the other two with some concern.

At that moment, Hoshino and his two companions felt Orochimaru's deep malice.

evil!

That's so evil!

Looking at Orochimaru's smiling face, Hoshino Shuichi sensed a deep-seated wickedness within him.

With the arrival of the roots, the fate of that village seemed predictable.

It seems quite clear what the person leading the way will see.

even……

Suddenly, Hoshino Shizuka noticed Orochimaru's gaze fall on him, and his heart skipped a beat.

At that moment, Uchiha Shisui stepped forward: "Minato-sensei, let me show Orochimaru-sama the way!"

Kurama Sanyo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt ashamed.

Hoshino Shuichi didn't try to stand up for himself. He watched as Minato Namikaze nodded in agreement, and then Shisui Uchiha left with Orochimaru and the others.

Anma Shanyang hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself.

……

With the wind howling, in less than an hour, Uchiha Shisui led Orochimaru and the others to the mountain north of the village.

"That's it."

Uchiha Shisuido.

Orochimaru looked down at the village and laughed, "You want to plead for them?"

Uchiha Shisui paused for a moment, then shook his head: "According to the intelligence we gathered before, the able-bodied men of this village participated in several raids on the Land of Fire. This was intentional on the part of Sunagakure."

"They may have been forced at first... but in any case, everyone has to pay the price for what they've done."

"But the elderly, women, and children are all innocent."

Orochimaru laughed and said, "Konoha is righteous, and in order to win over the Land of River, it will not harm the innocent."

Uchiha Shisui was overjoyed upon hearing this.

But Orochimaru changed the subject again, saying, "However, if they resist, there's nothing we can do."

Uchiha Shisui's heart sank. He looked down at the village, at the old people and women still working in the fields, and at the children playing. Suddenly, he made up his mind and said, "Lord Orochimaru, leave this matter to me."

"They're just ordinary people; there's no need for the root to intervene."

Orochimaru's smile widened: "Of course!"

Uchiha Shisui took a deep breath, then leaped up like an eagle, swooping down towards the village below the mountain.

Watching Uchiha Shisui's retreating figure, Orochimaru couldn't help but sigh, "The Uchiha clan... is truly simple-minded!"

He then ordered, "Do not let anyone leave."

"yes!"

The numerous Root ninjas agreed and then vanished in unison.

In the village.

Uchiha Shisui drew his sword and effortlessly stormed into a villager's house, killing two men who were drinking.

Blood splattered, staining the walls red.

One after another, Uchiha Shisui's movements were clean and efficient.

When he encounters children, he uses illusions to put them all to sleep.

In less than 5 minutes, all the able-bodied men in the village were killed by Uchiha Shisui.

Then, covered in blood, he charged toward several young men in the field.

This time, it was impossible to hide it any longer. Screams erupted as villagers frantically fled for their lives, but the men could not escape Uchiha Shisui's pursuit.

After killing the last person, Uchiha Shisui was covered in blood. He looked at the Root ninjas who had entered the village and knocked out the fleeing villagers, as well as the corpses on the ground, which made his eyes appear even more scarlet and eerie.

Orochimaru happened to witness this scene and was somewhat surprised: "There are signs that he's about to awaken the second tomoe..."

He hadn't started studying the Sharingan, but he was familiar with this bloodline limit.

Therefore, they know how the Uchiha clan awakens their Sharingan.

According to previously available information, Uchiha Shisui opened the single tomoe because of the deaths of his team leader and another teammate.

But I never expected that I would be moved by a group of strangers who are both bandits and civilians.

"interesting……"

Orochimaru smiled to himself, then stepped forward and said, "You're quite good."

"Leave the rest to us, you can go back now."

Uchiha Shisui's eyes returned to normal. He sheathed his short sword and bowed respectfully: "Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"

Before leaving, however, Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but ask, "Lord Orochimaru, what will happen to these villagers?"

Orochimaru laughed and said, "Of course, we'll hand it over to the Daimyo of the Land of Rivers, so they can become evidence of the Sunagakure ninja's evil deeds."

Uchiha Shisui was completely relieved, bowed again, and then left.

Orochimaru watched Uchiha Shisui leave. A moment later, a Root ninja appeared before him and respectfully asked, "Lord Orochimaru, everything is complete. What's next?"

"Send all those children to Experiment Base No. 2 first, seal up their bodies, and send them to Experiment Base No. 3."

The Root ninja immediately obeyed: "Understood!"

Orochimaru was certainly not deceiving Uchiha Shisui; he did intend to hand over these villagers to the daimyo of the Land of Rivers, but only to the roster.

However, he believed that the Daimyo of the Land of Rivers would hand over these villagers to him to deal with in order not to anger the Land of Fire and Konoha.

So how can this be considered deception?

……

Before returning to the Land of Fire, Uchiha Shisui first washed himself in the river to get rid of the smell of blood before reuniting with Hoshino Shuichi and the other two. Therefore, Hoshino Shuichi and the others did not notice anything unusual.
