Naruto: Who made him a ninja

Chapter 96 Yang Release: Chakra Mode! (10,000 words, please subscribe)

"Any clues?"

"It seems that no trace has been found yet."

Inside a dilapidated house in Iwagakure, the Akatsuki members regrouped.

They had already sneaked in and started searching, and now it was time for them to gather and report back, but unfortunately, it seemed they hadn't found anything.

"Iwagakure is such a terrible place. The defenses are so tight, it's really unsettling."

Seeing that everyone seemed to have come to nothing, Pipa Juzo shrugged indifferently.

"Although it's still far inferior to Kirigakure, this is troublesome enough."

"Indeed, even using puppets to find it isn't that easy."

Scorpion nodded. He had been searching with his puppets without any results, which made him somewhat annoyed.

"Kakuzu, are you sure your intelligence is accurate?"

"Indeed, even though Iwagakure is a large village, it doesn't seem good that there haven't been any results, Kakuzu."

Konan nodded, her gaze also falling on Kakuzu, which immediately made Kakuzu feel increased pressure.

The information Shuze gave him was that Orochimaru was in Iwagakure, but he didn't say anything else. What could he do?

Fortunately, Kakuzu was a seasoned veteran, and he maintained his composure and spoke calmly.

"Didn't anyone expect this to happen?"

Iwagakure is already quite large, making it difficult to search for; moreover, if the intelligence is that accurate, would we still dare to believe it?

"That's also a problem."

Xiao Nan nodded in agreement upon hearing this explanation; indeed, it was difficult for intelligence to be that accurate.

"It seems we have no choice but to continue the search. That's certainly true."

Before Xiao Nan could utter the word "trouble," the ground suddenly shook slightly.

A powerful surge of chakra erupted instantly, making them realize that something was wrong!

"This is."

Konan quickly looked into the distance, and in this unusual movement of chakra, she seemed to detect a familiar scent.

But she couldn't quite remember what it was, as it seemed somewhat unfamiliar.

"Looks like we have a goal now."

However, while Xiao Nan was pondering, Scorpion suddenly whispered to her.

"Let's go take a look. Hopefully, this target isn't too outrageous."

"Kakashi-senpai, did you feel it?"

Inside Iwagakure, in a corner near the Tsuchikage's building, Tenzo noticed the unusual chakra and immediately turned to look at Kakashi.

Their task was to create chaos at the Iwagakure Building, but Hidezawa hadn't told them exactly when to make their move.

Because there are some things that even Hidezawa, the 'culprit,' is not sure about, he tells Kakashi and the others to just act according to circumstances.

"This is really bad; things certainly don't look good."

Kakashi naturally sensed the unusual nature of the current situation, and after pondering for a moment, he spoke.

"Let's make our move. The commotion over there is likely to attract the attention of Iwagakure, and we can't be sure if it's Hidezawa or Jiraiya who are making their move."

So let's stick to the plan for now and create chaos here as quickly as possible.

"it is good."

Tenzo was eager to try; he had long regarded Hidezawa as his idol.

They're all from Root, all know Wood Release, and are currently in the same investigation team, so naturally he'd want to learn from and imitate Hidezawa.

However, his old captain was still Kakashi, and he still needed to follow orders. Now that he had received a reply, he immediately became excited.

"Kakashi, senior, cooperate with me, let's make this a big deal!"

"Hey, hey, hey, we..."

Kakashi wanted to offer some advice, as he was well aware of Tenzo's current state of mind, but before he could finish speaking, he was shocked to see Tenzo make his move!

"Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!"

With a roar of his chakra, a large number of vines and wooden branches burst out of the ground in an instant, and then swept towards the Tsuchikage Building!

"Who is it?"

"Damn it, what's with all this wood?"

"Damn it, could this be Wood Release?"

"What exactly is going on?"

"Hurry, don't let these Wood Release techniques get close!"

The Iwa ninja stationed at the Tsuchikage Building were immediately taken aback by the scene before them; they had heard of the formidable reputation of Wood Release.

Especially those ninjas who returned from the battlefield in the Land of Grass had mentioned some "legends" of Wood Release that they had seen, so they were naturally a little panicked when they saw these vines.

Even though they had already started to defend themselves, Tenzo's Wood Release still managed to sweep over them successfully, and a large number of trees appeared around them!

"Now's the time, Kakashi-senpai! Use Fire Release!"

Seeing that his Wood Release technique had achieved its effect, Tenzo immediately turned to Kakashi and spoke.

At the same time, he also took out several kunai from his ninja tool bag, all of which were attached with explosive tags!

He didn't give Kakashi a chance to speak before he had already fired the kunai.

boom--

boom--

boom--

A violent explosion suddenly rang out, and flames ignited the vines. The next moment, a large area of ​​flames ignited his Wood Release!

"."

Kakashi stared in disbelief at the scene, one of his hands hovering trembling in the air, as if trying to stop Tenzo's actions.

But at this moment he realized that there was nothing he needed to do anymore, because it was all too late.

"Senior, hurry up and get started, otherwise the fire won't be fierce enough."

Tenzo blinked and urged him urgently from the side, a voice that also woke Kakashi.

He glanced numbly at Tianzang, and finally could only tremblingly begin to form hand seals, but in his heart he was also screaming.

"You bunch of bastards from the root, not a single one of you is any good!"

"Senior, shouldn't we make our move too?"

In a forest in another direction from Iwagakure, Yugao turned to Shisui beside her and asked in a low voice.

Since they were going to cause a disturbance, the commotion couldn't be small. While Kakashi and his group were causing trouble in the central area of ​​Iwagakure, they would naturally be operating in other areas outside.

The most likely way to attract the attention of Iwagakure, or rather, to attract the attention of everyone, is naturally to set the mountain on fire!

Although Iwagakure is mostly rocky terrain and relatively arid, that doesn't mean there are no forests in the village. Naturally, this forest caught the eye of Shisui and Yugao!

"Yes, it's time to make a move."

Zhi Shui nodded. Actually, he felt a little regretful. This was his last mission, and all he was asked to do was set fire to the mountain.

This seems like a waste of talent, doesn't it?

However, Shisui did not refute it, because he knew in his heart that Xiuzawa would definitely make things worse.

Or rather, the tasks that Xiuze encounters always inexplicably turn out to be problematic, eventually escalating to the point where only the Shadow can resolve them.

"So, this time shouldn't be boring either."

Shisui nodded in his heart, and then his hands began to form hand seals rapidly. The next moment, a huge fire dragon spewed out of his mouth!

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

The burning dragon ripped through the sky, roaring as it crashed into the forest, instantly igniting the trees.

Before long, the area where they were located was engulfed in flames!

If we just wait a little while, there won't be any problem with the entire forest being set ablaze and burned.

"This is so relaxing, I'm not used to it yet."

After Shisui finished doing all this, she couldn't help but mutter something to herself, but Yugao, who was beside her, looked into the distance and after a while she whispered something.

"Senior Shisui, look over there!"

"Um?"

Shisui was a little confused. He turned his head and followed Yugao's gaze, only to be surprised to find that it was the center of Iwagakure.

There, flames raged, and scorching fires accompanied by rising black smoke, as countless ninjas rushed toward that direction.

Upon closer inspection, Shisui was dumbfounded!

"Is that... the Tsuchikage Building?"

He never dreamed that Kakashi, that guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would do something so outrageous, burning down the Tsuchikage Building without making a sound.

Imagine what would happen if someone burned down the Hokage Building. Shisui felt uneasy at the thought.

"It seems so."

Xi Yan seemed to realize that the problem was quite serious. She hesitated for a moment before turning to look at Zhi Shui.

"What do we do now? Even though Jiraiya-sama is leading the team, what about us?"

"Wait, what did you just say?"

Shisui's eyes lit up the moment he heard Xiyan's words, and he immediately pressed for details.

"You mean, Jiraiya-sama is leading the team?"

"Um"

Xi Yan nodded, and soon she realized what was going on.

"Senior Shisui, what do you mean?"

"Didn't you say that Jiraiya-sama would be leading this operation?"

Shisui immediately repeated it, then turned to look at the grove of trees behind him.

"Although the mission was arranged by Hidezawa, we had to figure it out ourselves after Jiraiya left."

"And it was Jiraiya-sama who entered Iwagakure first; we came in to prevent him from being isolated and helpless!"

What's wrong with you? You're just like that bastard Xiuzhe.

Xi Yan felt a headache coming on after listening to Zhi Shui's words.

Xiuze is a good person, that's undeniable, but how did you end up with his extreme ideas?

Before Xiyan could say anything, Shisui suddenly formed hand seals again.

"It seems we need to step up our efforts. To prevent Kakashi and the others from being surrounded, we need to make our situation more impressive!"

But don't Kakashi and the others have Hidezawa's kunai?

Yugao stared silently at Shisui, feeling as if Shisui was about to transform into the shape of Xiuzhe.

"Who goes there? How dare they set fire here?"

Just then, a man wearing a straw hat and a veil suddenly rushed out of the burning forest, his gaze instantly locking onto Shisui and Yugao.

He exuded an imposing aura, and his eyes were filled with anger, but upon seeing him, Shisui's eyes instantly lit up!

"This person is the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Han?"

"What's wrong? Why do I keep feeling anxious?"

In Iwagakure, at Onoki's house, it was already late, but he couldn't sleep at all, and he had a bad feeling about it.

This made him even more wide awake, so he simply sat up to see if anything else was happening in the village and to wait for sleep to come.

"Why aren't you asleep yet, Old Man Tu?"

Huang Tu came out of the house, seemingly intending to go to the toilet, but he happened to see Onoki sitting in the living room.

"It's so late, get some rest. Don't let yourself be too tired to handle work tomorrow."

"Hmph, if you had just put in a little more effort, I wouldn't have to work so hard."

It would have been better if the loess hadn't been mentioned, because it really made Onoki furious.

He just couldn't understand why, even though Huang Tu had clearly put a lot of effort into nurturing him, this kid was nothing like him.

He was incredibly reckless and completely indifferent to political affairs, even lacking any talent whatsoever, which really frustrated Onoki.

"this."

Huang Tu was a little embarrassed, but fortunately he was almost immune to it. After all, he heard such remarks every now and then, and over time he could basically ignore them.

"Dad, you should get some rest. Even though you're still very strong for your age, you don't need to work so hard. The village is perfectly safe."

"safely?"

Onoki glanced at the yellow earth with disdain.

"Anran, you'll get caught again. Anran, how dare the Grass Country conduct experiments on the Uzumaki clan right under their noses?"

"Wasn't it just your own guess, Father, that you leaked the information to Konoha?"

"How was I supposed to know it was true? Who knew they'd be so bold! And you were such a disappointment, getting captured by those brats from Konoha!"

"But that's Wood Release."

"Wood Release, Wood Release, don't make excuses for yourself!"

It would have been better if I hadn't mentioned it, because just talking about Onoki makes me furious.

Although he admitted that Wood Release was indeed powerful, you were captured with almost no resistance, and you still have a point?

Besides, even if it's Wood Release, so what? The opponent isn't Hashirama Senju. Why did you get caught, you idiot?

Thinking about this, Onoki really didn't want to say anything anymore; he was furious.

Huang Tu didn't dare to speak again. He knew his father was in a bad mood, and he didn't want to add fuel to the fire at this time.

He's starting to regret it now, wondering why he went out so late at night.

For a moment, the entire living room fell silent, but thankfully that silence was soon broken!

hum-

With a surge of chakra, their gazes sharpened instantly, and they quickly ran to the window to look outside.

"That was..."

Huang Tu frowned and spoke, while Onoki replied in a deep voice.

"It looks like some petty thugs have come here to cause trouble."

Although we don't know who the person who came is, they dared to cause trouble during the village's curfew and make such a big commotion.

No matter how you look at it, he's not an ordinary person, and he definitely can't be from the village!

"Looks like, just because of a negotiation with Konoha, they've made me look like a dead man."

Onoki snorted coldly and turned his head to look at the yellow earth.

"Go and summon the secret agents, and have them..."

"Dad, look!"

However, before Onoki could finish speaking, he noticed that Yoto was staring out the window in terror, his whole body seemingly trembling.

Onoki also sensed something was wrong, especially when a burst of firelight came from behind him, and the temperature began to rise sharply.

He turned his head in disbelief, and the next moment he was completely dumbfounded.

Because he saw that his Earth Shadow Building had been set on fire!

The raging flames were so dazzling and spectacular in the night sky.

At that moment, Onoki felt like he was about to explode with anger.

"Who are you?"

It was physically scorching hot outside, but the heat wasn't as intense as Xiuze and the others had imagined.

Yakushi Nonou was tied to a vine, and she looked at Hidezawa with a puzzled expression.

The boy in front of her was very handsome, and he gave her a strange sense of familiarity, but she really didn't remember seeing him before!

At least, after she infiltrated Iwagakure, she didn't really have a deep impression of the boy in front of her.

"Dean."

Kabuto Yakushi couldn't hold back any longer. He stepped forward and shouted urgently to Nono Yakushi.

"I'm Kabuto! I'm Yakushi Kabuto! This is Hidezawa, Shihara Hidezawa, don't you really remember us?"

"Dou Xiuze?"

Yakushi Nonou was somewhat confused; she seemed a little unsure of what was going on.

As a "walking witch," she was exceptionally good at reading people, and she could sense that the two boys in front of her meant her no harm.

However, the names these two mentioned don't seem to match the photos she received from Danzo!

"idiot."

Seeing Yakushi Kabuto so excited, Hidezawa also found it hard to contain himself. He pushed Yakushi Kabuto away and looked helplessly at Yakushi Nono, whose face was full of confusion.

"The reason is actually very simple: we were all deceived by Danzo. He never gave us the time or opportunity to go back to the orphanage, and he never let us get any news."

Similarly, they won't tell us any information about you, and the photos they give you are fake, not what we really look like.

"you mean"

A hint of doubt and confusion flashed in Yakushi Nonou's eyes, but she already understood everything. She just couldn't believe that Danzo would do such a thing!

"How could he? How could he possibly do that?"

"Xiuze told me that."

Kabuto Yakushi had calmed down by now, and he looked at Nono Yakushi with a helpless expression.

"Anyone who enters the root has no chance of leaving except by death!"

He saw through Danzo's plot; he guessed that you might be here, Headmaster. We...

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. We have other troublesome things to deal with."

Looking at Yakushi Kabuto's current appearance, Hidezawa couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Although he wouldn't mind listening to what this guy had to say, the current situation clearly didn't allow it.

He looked up and then casually pointed.

"See? We're in pretty much trouble right now."

"That is."

Yakushi Nonou wasn't entirely convinced yet, but when she looked up, her pupils dilated slightly.

"Lord Jiraiya and Orochimaru?"

"Lord Jiraiya is my team leader. We came here after receiving a message from Orochimaru."

Xiuze casually offered an explanation from the side.

"As for Orochimaru, he's probably here to collect your corpses, or to put it more bluntly."

Whoever survives, he will kill the other survivor, but this matter is inextricably linked to the Root.

Regardless of the outcome this time, we are all Root ninjas, so…

Kabuto and Nonou looked at each other, both understanding what Hidezawa meant: they absolutely couldn't let this go!

Because this could very well turn into something that harms both oneself and others.

As for the credibility of these words, even the somewhat suspicious Yakushi Nonou dared not deny them in the slightest.

Moreover, she seemed to have come to accept Shuzawa's explanation, not because of anything else, but because Jiraiya's existence made her have no choice but to believe it!

call out--

Suddenly, the vines and wooden strips binding her began to loosen, allowing her to break free. Yakushi Kabuto immediately caught her.

"Alright, we can discuss anything else later. What you need to do now is leave here as soon as possible."

Xiuze glanced at the two of them, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Captain Jiraiya has made a huge fuss. Even if I make some arrangements elsewhere, I'm afraid the effect won't be as good as I imagined."

So you all need to leave now. Kabuto bears the mark of my Flying Thunder God Technique. This time, we will all return.

Flying Thunder God Technique?

Isn't this the Fourth Hokage's technique?

Moreover, it seems that this kid just used Wood Release?

Yakushi Nonou was confused again. She felt that everything she had seen today was challenging her understanding!

The latest novel is first published here!

However, Kabuto didn't seem surprised at all, so what exactly happened during their separation?

"And what about you? Aren't you coming with us?"

Yakushi Nonou was filled with doubt, but she still asked the question subconsciously.

"Dean, you don't need to worry about me."

Xiuze looked up and then slowly put on the mask.

"As for me, naturally I need to finish some unfinished tasks."

"Orochimaru, stop being so stubborn!"

On the battlefield, Jiraiya stood on Gamabunta's head and shouted loudly at Orochimaru.

However, as he shouted, Gamabunta, the toad beneath his feet, showed no mercy to Manda, and swung his katana toward Manda's head.

For Gamabunta, Manda is probably the person he hates the most. There is absolutely no room for reconciliation between them!

Manda did the same. After dodging Bunta's katana, he immediately seized the opportunity to coil around Bunta, baring his fangs in preparation to bite the giant toad.

"Stubborn to the end?"

Orochimaru shook his head dismissively upon hearing this, and looked at Jiraiya with indifference before speaking sarcastically.

"Do you know what I hate most about you? You know so many things, but you always act like you know everything and don't want to get involved."

You became someone else's accomplice but are unwilling to face the truth. Instead, you come to me every day, wanting me to go back to that godforsaken place. Who do you think you are?

You might as well keep clinging to your toad and indulging in your daydreams. By the way, have you found your prophetic child yet?

The last one, I think, was Minato Namikaze, tsk tsk, it seems like all the guys you define as children of prophecy are short-lived.

"You bastard!"

Jiraiya was somewhat taken aback by Orochimaru's words; it just goes to show how venomous Orochimaru's tongue can be.

"Looks like I'll have to just beat you awake, you bastard, and then take you back, Bunta!"

"Tch, why are you wasting your breath talking to him?"

Bunta immediately understood Jiraiya's meaning. After a slight complaint, he leaped up and spat out a large amount of toad oil.

At the same time, Jiraiya also quickly formed hand seals.

"Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!"

"Ugh, what a hassle."

Seeing the sea of ​​fire instantly formed by the combination of toad oil and Jiraiya's fire jutsu, even Orochimaru frowned slightly.

However, Orochimaru was not without a way to deal with it. While waiting for Manda to retreat quickly, he had already completed the hand seals.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

A fierce wind howled, and this violent wind-style technique actually blocked Jiraiya's fire-style technique.

However, only the front was blocked; the rest of the area was still enveloped in flames, which greatly restricted the movement of the ten thousand snakes.

"Great opportunity, Bunta, go!"

Jiraiya immediately seized the opportunity and shouted loudly at Bunta, which displeased Bunta.

"Don't shout nonsense, I know."

However, even though he was unhappy, Gamabunta immediately followed Jiraiya's idea and leaped up, heading straight for Orochimaru's location!

boom--

A tremendous roar suddenly erupted as the two enormous objects, each the size of a small mountain, collided.

At the point where these two monstrous figures' bodies intersected, Jiraiya and Orochimaru were already locked in combat.

Their movements were as fast as phantoms, using both fists and feet, and for a time they were locked in a fierce battle!

"You bastard, this time I'm bringing you back to Konoha no matter what!"

Jiraiya couldn't help but speak while fighting Orochimaru, but Orochimaru scoffed at his words.

"You're as stupid as ever. Why should I go back with you? Instead, I think you should think about your own problems."

"That's none of your business!"

"Really? I wonder how the old man will treat you then. After all, you just finished negotiating with Iwagakure, and now you're coming to Iwagakure to cause trouble. Tsk tsk."

"Don't talk nonsense, I..."

"Nonsense? Do you think nobody around can see you? Or do you think nobody knows you? Wake up. You may be stupid and foolish, but you're not so stupid that nobody knows you."

Listening to Orochimaru's words and seeing the guy's mocking expression, Jiraiya was extremely annoyed.

He realized he had caused quite a bit of trouble this time, and he was worried about how to explain himself when he got back.

But no matter how it's explained, that's a matter for the future. Right now, dealing with Orochimaru is more important!

"Captain Jiraiya, it looks like you're in trouble?"

However, just as the two were locked in fierce combat, a voice suddenly rang in their ears!

Upon hearing that voice, the two of them separated instantly.

"That voice."

Orochimaru frowned. He felt the voice was somewhat familiar, but compared to its familiarity, there was a slight gloom in his eyes.

His sudden and silent appearance beside them made him involuntarily think of a technique.

"Xiuze?"

Jiraiya didn't care about that anymore. He turned his head and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.

"Why are you here? Never mind, let's just capture Orochimaru quickly. We can't let him get away this time!"

"Xiuze?"

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow upon hearing the name. How could he not know this name?

This kid was responsible for delivering research materials to me several times, and he was also Danzo's spy planted next to Uchiha Shisui!

"The person in Konoha who learned the Flying Thunder God Technique is actually him?"

Orochimaru wasn't entirely clear on these matters, after all, he had been away from Konoha for a long time, and Danzo would never easily reveal certain information about Konoha to him.

All he knew was that some interesting people had appeared in Konoha, such as Uchiha Shisui with the Mangekyou Sharingan, someone who could use the Flying Thunder God Technique, and the reappearance of Wood Release in Konoha.

But apart from Uchiha Shisui's identity, he didn't know much else about him. He really didn't expect that the one who could use the Flying Thunder God Technique was this kid.

"It seems Danzo really is after me this time."

Even brats with the Flying Thunder God technique have come; he absolutely does not believe that this matter has nothing to do with Danzo!

"I see."

Hidezawa glanced helplessly at Jiraiya. This guy was calling him by his name directly, wasn't that revealing crucial information?

He and Orochimaru are old acquaintances.

Since that's the case, then he has no choice but to swing his sword!

boom--

Suddenly, Xiuze clasped his hands together, and a surge of immense chakra burst forth!

"This is."

Orochimaru's expression changed slightly, because he sensed a dangerous aura approaching.

The next moment, he suddenly realized that a large number of trees had appeared on the ground, as if endless vines and branches were frantically wrapping around the Thousand Serpent!

"Wood Release? It's this kid too?"

Orochimaru's expression turned somewhat grim; he even began to suspect that this kid might be one of his experiments from back then.

However, he reacted quickly and immediately realized that something was wrong with these wood-style materials. The life-filled aura was clearly not like the product of his experiments back then!

"The Senju clan, who awakened on their own?"

Without even a second thought, Orochimaru completely ignored Manda, who was being entangled and had his chakra being continuously absorbed. He leaped up and jumped away from Manda's body.

"Where are you going, Lord Orochimaru?"

However, at that moment, Xiuze's figure appeared in front of him in an instant, and then Xiuze threw a punch!

boom--

Orochimaru felt a sharp pain and was instantly launched into the air!

A physical fitness level of LV11 has already surpassed the system's evaluation standard.

Of course, the main reason is that the system doesn't have any "Super Shadow" setting, but such physical strength is really not something that ordinary people can withstand!

Orochimaru was struck hard and slammed into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Flying Thunder God? Where did it come from?"

But Orochimaru is Orochimaru after all. Amidst the swirling smoke, he quickly rose to his feet. Even though his body was already contorted, he simply twisted around a few times and returned to normal.

His flexibility is making him more and more like a real snake!

"Of course, it's through the mark, Lord Orochimaru."

As if he had heard Orochimaru's words, Shuzawa's figure reappeared behind him, and this time his power was even greater!

"Oh no."

Orochimaru's expression changed slightly, but unfortunately, Hidetsawa's Flying Thunder God Technique was even more bizarre than Minato Namikaze's, as he relied entirely on Wood Release to move.

There was absolutely no trace of flight from the kunai; it was even more ethereal and elusive, making it difficult for even a powerful figure like Orochimaru to adapt to for a while!

boom--

boom--

boom--

The dull thuds continued to ring out as Orochimaru was repeatedly knocked away. Gamabunta, who was standing to the side, and Jiraiya, who was perched on Gamabunta's head, both stared blankly at the scene.

Especially after watching Manda lose his chakra and roar, "Orochimaru, you need to prepare 100 sacrifices for me!" before leaving, Gamabunta couldn't help but complain.

"You're such a loser! You fought for ages and did absolutely nothing. And why didn't you send someone like that sooner?"

"."

Jiraiya was also dumbfounded. He knew that Hidezawa was very strong, after all, he was the one who had captured the son of the Fourth Raikage and the Third Tsuchikage.

But he really didn't expect that this kid would be this fierce!

"His speed and strength are truly terrifying, and his Flying Thunder God Technique is extremely strange. How exactly does he move?"

"You ask me how I would know? Shouldn't you know it better than me? Minato knows this technique too, doesn't he?"

"But I don't know how."

"So you're the idiot!"

Jiraiya was so choked by Gamabunta that he didn't know what to say, but he really didn't understand what was going on.

However, Orochimaru, who had been beaten for half a day, gradually got used to it, and it seemed that he also knew what was going on.

"Wood Release: Flying Thunder God... does it use the surrounding Wood Release elements as a springboard to create the Flying Thunder God seal?"

Orochimaru glanced around and began to have a vague idea of ​​what was going on. At that moment, countless venomous snakes appeared on his arm.

The venomous snake opened its mouth, and a grayish-yellow mist emerged, immediately covering its surroundings.

Clearly, Orochimaru knew he couldn't handle the Flying Thunder God Technique, so he simply used poison to keep Hidezawa away!

Sure enough, Xiuze stopped after seeing this scene, but his gaze involuntarily swept around.

"Kid, you're surprisingly strong."

Orochimaru also vaguely noticed something, but his attention was still on Hidezawa. He licked his lips and spoke meaningfully.

"Wood Release: Flying Thunder God Technique, you are truly incredible! I doubt anyone would have imagined that you are a descendant of the Senju!"

"..."

Xiuze pursed his lips, and here he comes again.

"But are you sure you want to go with Danzo?"

However, before Hidezawa could speak, Orochimaru continued to laugh to himself.

"Do you know why you're here, and do you know why I'm here?"

"..."

Xiuze blinked. He didn't know what Orochimaru meant by that, and he was now certain of one thing.

"The Akatsuki members are here. Looks like we need to get serious."

Xiuze's previous battles weren't exactly serious, or rather, he wasn't giving it his all.

He only used a combination of Wood Release and Flying Thunder God Technique, but it has to be said that anyone would be tricked if they didn't know where his Flying Thunder God Technique mark was!

The Fourth Raikage was like this, and so was Orochimaru, but Orochimaru was clever and directly used area attacks and defenses to prevent Hidezawa from making reckless advances.

Moreover, Orochimaru was testing Hidezawa's abilities, and now he probably has to take it seriously!

"We've probably all fallen into Danzo's trap."

Shuzawa didn't speak, but Orochimaru didn't care at all. He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, then smiled coldly.

"He sent me here to deal with two people, but it's clear he betrayed my information, which is why you and Jiraiya are here."

Especially you, do you know who the two people I'm responsible for dealing with are?

Those are your old friend, Yakushi Kabuto, and your headmistress, Yakushi Nonou!

At this point, Orochimaru's chakra became even more violent, and visible blue chakra flickered on his body.

"Both of them are eager to leave Root. Danzo cannot keep such people around, so they must die. I am here to take care of the aftermath."

The reason I brought you here was to let you see the bodies of those two people, to make you believe that I was the one who did it, so that you would be even more dependent on me.

Because only he could obtain information about me, Danzo really played his cards well, but unfortunately, he was ruined by Jiraiya.

But regardless, some things are already destined. Now I want to ask you one question: are you really still willing to follow someone like this?

Orochimaru continued to explain his conjectures, but Hidezawa, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.

What's going on?

I haven't even framed him yet, how come you're so sure?

However, upon closer examination, considering the current situation and the relationship between Orochimaru and Danzo...

This seems to be the most correct way of thinking!

"Oh, looks like another person disgusted by that bastard Danzo."

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out. Shuzawa and Orochimaru were not surprised; they both looked up slightly at the same time.

Under the moonlight, four figures dressed in black with red clouds appeared not far away!

"Another enemy?"

Jiraiya stood on Gamabunta's head, staring in disbelief at the people who had suddenly appeared. Based on their clothing, he could tell they were members of the Akatsuki!

It matches up, it matches up perfectly.

Xiuze's information was absolutely correct!

"That is."

Meanwhile, within the Akatsuki organization, Konan looked at the toads in the distance, which resembled small mountains, and her expression gradually darkened.

"Jiraiya-sensei?"

She really didn't expect to run into Jiraiya in this place!

It's hard to say that the chakra fluctuations I just sensed had a strange familiarity; it really was someone I knew.

However, she couldn't back down now, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.

"Oh, it seems you have a companion."

After seeing these people, Xiuzawa didn't give Orochimaru a chance to speak at all.

"But it's not surprising. The Akatsuki takes in rogue ninja from various villages. Orochimaru-sama, you are a rogue ninja from Konoha, so it's not surprising that you're involved with them."

"."

This time, Orochimaru was speechless. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but unfortunately, Kakuzu from the Akatsuki organization spoke up.

"Orochimaru will naturally be our comrade, and I didn't expect you, brat, to be here too."

"It seems you're still Orochimaru's enemy, well then, this time I'll take care of you!"

"."

Orochimaru gave Kakuzu a strange look. Although he could recognize who Kakuzu was, it seemed like they didn't know each other at all.

"As expected, birds of a feather flock together."

Shuzawa Zanshan glanced at Kakuzu, then spoke again before Orochimaru could.

"Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony. It's a good opportunity to try out my new research; after spending so much time on it, it's time to see the results!"

"."

Orochimaru had a feeling that he had been tricked, because no matter how he tried to explain, the situation seemed difficult to explain clearly!

He glanced at Hideaki, who was rapidly gathering chakra, and then at Jiraiya, who was standing on Gamabunta's head, ready to pounce.

He rubbed his temples helplessly. He didn't know what Xiuze was thinking. Perhaps it was because Jiraiya was there that he dared not express any opinion?

hum-

However, the next moment, his expression changed slightly. Not only that, Jiraiya and the Akatsuki members who rushed over also changed their expressions.

Suddenly, a fierce chakra appeared on Xiuze's body, accompanied by the aura of nature!

"Is this... the power of nature?"

Jiraiya stared at Hidezawa in disbelief, and he also noticed something.

"There seems to be a scent of that chakra that drew me here within this chakra."

With such a powerful infusion of chakra, Xiuze's body flashed with golden light.

Looking around, there really is a hint of the future Six Paths Naruto!

Unfortunately, he didn't have Truth-Seeking Balls or 'magatama' made of chakra, but Hidezawa was already very satisfied with this.

He looked up at Orochimaru and suddenly grinned.

hum-

Almost instantly, he ignored the poisonous mist and rushed towards Orochimaru, a kunai appearing in his hand.

"Lord Orochimaru, you've made a mistake."

The kunai flew about, accompanied by a piercing sound as it whistled through the air. His voice rang in Orochimaru's ears, and his words made Orochimaru's pupils dilate!

"Lord Danzo, please allow me to give you my regards, and then you may depart in peace."
