Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 71 The Price of Blindness (34)

"Bang bang bang...!"

The black iron rod that the Monkey King had transformed into clashed with the Kusanagi sword, sparks flying everywhere. The Third Hokage and Orochimaru had already exchanged blows several times.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, having retreated, flung out several shuriken and then rapidly formed hand seals.

The technique of creating clones with sword shadows in hand.

The shuriken split into several pieces and sped toward Orochimaru.

However, the Third Hokage's hands, which were forming hand seals, did not stop.

Multiply the explosive tags!

Orochimaru's gaze narrowed slightly; there was an explosive tag attached to the back of the shuriken in his hand.

Similarly, after forming the hand seal, pat both hands on the ground.

Psychic communication, Rashomon!

"boom……!!"

The massive explosion caused the underground laboratory to begin to shake precariously, and Yun, who was watching the spectacle from a distance, frowned.

After looking at Jia, he said, "Use Wood Release to protect them, otherwise they will be injured when the landslide occurs."

A nodded, made a hand seal, and clapped his hands down.

Wood escape·Wooden spindle wall.

The defensive circle formed by the giant tree enveloped all the Anbu members of Team 6. Then, Kaka looked at the other side and asked, "These are all high-level ninjutsu. Is the Third Hokage serious?"

Yun scoffed, "Using a technique like Multiplying Explosive Tags on this kind of terrain, what do you think the Third Hokage's purpose was? As a professor of ninjutsu, do you think he wouldn't understand?"

After Yun's reminder, Jia, realizing what was happening, smiled wryly and said, "It seems that Lord Sandai is still too soft-hearted..."

Yun replied, "He's just an old man on the verge of death. Although he's a bit weak and indecisive... the current Third Hokage is no longer the valiant ninja of yesteryear."

……

As pebbles continued to fall, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at his disciple and murmured, "Orochimaru..."

The Enma, standing to the side, frowned deeply: "Sarutobi, are you really going to let him go? This is your last chance!"

The third generation did not reply, but quietly waited for the underground to collapse.

The explosive tag that was just stuck inside the snake's cavity will detonate during Orochimaru's next summoning.

This is a lesson I hope you'll learn from!

……

"boom!!!"

The underground laboratory collapsed.

On the ruins, giant logs arched up the stone slabs.

Except for two members of the sixth squad who were killed in the explosion, all the ANBU members were unharmed. On the other side, the two men brought by the Third Hokage were also captured by Enma and thrown out.

As for Orochimaru, he has already disappeared without a trace.

The Third Hokage, blocking the pursuit, glanced behind him and said, "Let's classify Orochimaru as an S-rank rogue ninja..."

A looked around at his teammates. The sixth squad had lost two people in this operation, and both of them were completely wiped out.

Is the sacrifice of the two teammates merely due to their status as rogue ninjas?

Yun patted Jia on the shoulder and asked, "As the Fourth Hokage's direct subordinates in the Anbu, shouldn't we only obey the Fourth Hokage's orders?"

A hesitated for a moment before replying, "That's true, but..."

"Then there's no problem!"

As she spoke, the kaleidoscope in Yun's eyes began to slowly rotate.

"As one of the Legendary Sannin, that guy is indeed a bit slippery, so I don't know if this attack will be enough to take him down. Most likely... it will be difficult."

"But as a new member of Team Six, wouldn't it be a disservice to our two deceased seniors if we did nothing?"

"Now that the area below has collapsed, this is the perfect place to use this trick in the open. Don't worry about you being buried alive."

"Buzz!!!"

Susanoo!

As soon as he finished speaking, the blue chakra materialized and lifted up the clouds.

A colossal half-giant suddenly formed, and a bow made of blue chakra instantly materialized in his hand, aimed directly at the direction the Third Hokage was facing.

"Uchiha Un!!!"

The cloud perched on the giant's forehead looked at the Third Hokage: "Perhaps, Third Hokage, you can block this attack aimed at the enemy. Would you like to give it a try?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the Anbu members present looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

If the Third Hokage really takes action, then his credibility, which had already declined since Danzo's death, will plummet once again.

He dared not make a move!

Because he was already old, he did not want to be nailed to the pillar of shame at the last moment.

Blue chakra arrows gradually formed, and Orochimaru, who had already left in the distance, was suddenly startled.

Turning around, he saw the blue giant in the distance, his bow and arrow aimed at him. The cold and enormous chakra instantly sent chills down his spine.

Hands form a mudra.

Shadow Clone Technique!

The five Orochimarus scattered and fled, while the real Orochimaru used Earth Release to burrow into the ground.

Ok?

Does it have the ability of a kaleidoscope?

In Orochimaru's perception, the enormous, cold chakra arrow ignored all the shadow clones and remained locked on the main body underground, unmoved by any of them.

"Whoosh!"

The giant blue arrow arrived in an instant, tearing countless trees to shreds.

"boom!!!"

A tremendous roar echoed through the forest, and the force of the impact was like that of a typhoon, leveling the surrounding area.

The blue giant dissipated, and Uchiha Yun, who had landed again, looked at his masterpiece.

Although the spot where he was hit had become a deep crater, he still felt that Orochimaru was not dead.

As a mad scientist who never completely died in my memory, his survival skills alone are unparalleled in the ninja world.

"Is he dead?" A asked.

Yun shook his head: "I don't know, but he's probably not dead. After all, even if he didn't run away, killing him would be quite difficult."

A gave a wry smile: "No wonder he's Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin. He managed to survive that kind of power."

Then A looked at Yun again: "Compared to you, it's even more astonishing that you can wield such power at such a young age!"

"Hmm!"

Yun groaned and covered her eyes with her hands, a drop of blood falling through her fingers.

"Snapped!"

The blood fell to the ground and shattered.

A glanced at the grim-faced Third Generation and quickly whispered, "I'll take you back to the village's medical station right away."

With that, Jia picked up Yun and called for the sixth squad's ANBU to leave.

No one resigned with the Third Hokage; everyone felt a sense of shared sorrow and resentment towards Hiruzen Sarutobi, the former Hokage.

This opinion will spread after these people return to Konoha. Today's events can be kept secret from ordinary people, but most of the Third and Fourth Hokage's direct subordinates in the Anbu will know.

……

"Was that blue giant a power unique to the Uchiha Sharingan?"

Yun, who was lying on Jia's back, whispered back, "You guessed right. Even the Uchiha clan has to pay a heavy price for the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Susanoo is the ultimate ability that the Mangekyou Sharingan can unlock. However, the cost is that the user's eyesight will decline until..."

Before he could finish speaking, A stopped abruptly, and the ANBU members of the Sixth Squad around him also stopped.

A hesitated, then turned his head and asked, "Until I go blind?"

Yun, clinging to its back, nodded weakly: "Incredibly powerful strength always comes at an irreparable price. Even your Wood Release was built upon the deaths of countless experimental subjects, wasn't it?"

……

The author is sobbing and begging for more reading!!
