Generally speaking, if aerial photography does not reveal anything, then there is basically no base for Orochimaru.

On this day, Xia Mu came to an area not far from the residence of the Daimyo of Tianguo, and once again discovered a hidden stronghold. Looking at the entrance of this stronghold, it seemed to be more luxurious.

The entrance is a carving of a giant python, which is intimidating and seems to have no hidden meaning at all.

In this case, this can only be Orochimaru's main stronghold!

Xia Mu secretly took a photo and was about to sneak in as usual, when suddenly several figures appeared in the telescope, causing Xia Mu to subconsciously hide again.

These people look familiar. They are none other than Kidomaru, Tayuya, Sakon, Ukon and Jirobo of the Four Sound Ninjas.

These four were responsible for setting up the formation in Konoha's collapse plan, trapping the Third Hokage and Orochimaru together, leaving the Third Hokage with no one to rescue him, which led to the Third Hokage's death.

Chapter 156 The Sound Ninja Four Attack

However, the four of them did not take much action in Konoha Village, and Konoha was not very clear about their combat capabilities.

In the original novel, after performing the second stage of the curse seal, the four people suddenly burst into the strength of jonin, and even defeated Shiranui Genma and Bizuka Leidō who had just returned from a mission. In the mission to retrieve Sasuke, Choji, Neji, Inuzuka Kiba, and Shikamaru also fought hard and only with the help of Temari and her brother did they defeat the four people, which shows that the four people are really powerful.

As for Kimimaro, he's probably lying in bed, dying.

According to some people's speculation on the Internet, the Kaguya clan to which Kimimaro belongs has some connection with the Hyuga clan. I don't know if it's true. Maybe I should tell Neji?

Xia Mu shook his head to get rid of his wild thoughts and put the water mirror away to avoid being discovered.

The four of them hurried and quickly entered the stronghold.

"Since the Four have come to 523, Orochimaru is probably inside. I can't go in, otherwise, with Orochimaru's keen sense, it will be easy to alert the enemy. But I can pass on the information about the Four back."

Xia Mu was thinking secretly, but not long after, he saw four people hurried out, and then rushed to the south without saying a word.

It looks like they are going on a mission, and the only mission that requires the four people to be sent out during this period of time is to bring back Sasuke. Orochimaru can't bear it anymore and needs to change his body!

This is not good news.

Sasuke, Kakashi and Shino are at the northeastern border, not far from here. If the four of them get the news and rush over to kill them, it is hard to say whether Sasuke and the others can really hold on.

After all, the power of the curse seal has some bugs, and Sasuke and the others know nothing about the Four, so they might underestimate the enemy.

After Natsuki and the other four left, he retreated without delay and found a secluded spot to draw a portrait of the four and write down some information about them. Because he was worried about being discovered, he didn't even take a photo, so that Tsunade and Kakashi would pay attention to it.

After preparing two pieces of information, Xia Mu summoned an eagle and asked the eagle to send one piece of information back to Konoha.

As for the other piece of information, Xia Mu held it with chakra in his hand, and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to transmit the information directly to Kakashi.

The battery he gave Kakashi before had a special one for the Flying Thunder God Technique!

Just for convenience at this moment!

Of course, Kakashi knew this and didn't object.

Meanwhile, Team Kakashi was patrolling near the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Hot Springs, and found no signs of anyone infiltrating the Hidden Cloud Village, which was a relief, but not pleasant for Sasuke.

He was also wondering if he would meet a master who could show him the effect of Chidori Ruiqiang.

In order to become stronger, he is naturally warlike.

Everyone says the rain has stopped and the sky is clear, and that Sasuke is back to normal. The mocking voices should not be too harsh. In fact, the reason why Sasuke is beaten every time he gets too arrogant is because he always likes to challenge those above his level. Only by being tempered by various strong people can he grow faster.

Those who only dare to bully the mentally retarded often make limited progress, don't they?

At this moment, Kakashi's expression froze, and the next second a scroll suddenly appeared in front of him.

Sasuke and Shino immediately became alert.

Shino hurriedly asked the insect, but got no answer. Then something occurred to him: "The insect didn't notice anyone approaching, but could it be Natsuki who made the scroll appear out of thin air?"

Sasuke also thought of it: "Is it the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"That's right! It was Xia Mu who sent the information using the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Kakashi took the scroll and said, "For him to be willing to use Flying Thunder God to transmit this information, something must have happened. I wonder if Lady Tsunade knows about it."

As he spoke, he opened the scroll, and his expression suddenly became solemn after reading it.

He handed the scroll to Sasuke and Shino, but they both had different expressions after reading it.

Shino's tone remained unchanged for a thousand years: "Orochimaru sent the Otonin Four to bring Sasuke back. Is he planning to take over Sasuke's body?"

Sasuke smiled and said, "Come on, my body is getting rusty in this month, so I'll let these four people have a taste of Chidori Rui's power!"

Kakashi had no choice but to warn, "Natsuki's intelligence says that these four have been cursed by Orochimaru. They can use the power of the curse to reach the strength of a jonin in a short period of time, so we must not be careless. Fortunately, Natsuki seems to have investigated their abilities and has already written them down in the intelligence. This is our advantage!"

It was obvious that Kakashi had no intention of dodging.

Since Orochimaru had planted a curse seal on Sasuke, he must be able to sense Sasuke's location, so there's no way to hide...

In this case, it would be better to use the intelligence advantage to defeat the Four, which would also weaken Orochimaru's power.

In addition, there has been no movement from the Hidden Cloud Village in the past month, so it seems that the Hidden Cloud Village will not attack. As Sasuke said, people will become rusty after this month, so it is a good time to stretch their muscles.

"I'll keep an eye on the enemy's movements." Shino didn't say anything else. Since they were going to fight, he started preparing.

"Okay. Just in case, let's make some arrangements..."

"Kakashi-sensei, I'll be the bait."

Sasuke interrupted Kakashi and said, "Since their target is me, I'm the best bait. You and Shino hide and wait for an opportunity to attack. Since they can use curse seals to unleash the power of a jonin in a short period of time, we're at a disadvantage with three against four. A surprise attack is better."

Kakashi opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't object.

In theory, using students as bait is a very risky behavior and should not be done.

But Kakashi soon realized that Sasuke was no longer a Genin, but a Chunin who could start to stand on his own. What could go wrong with just being a bait?

Moreover, Sasuke's analysis made sense. If they were at a disadvantage when outnumbered three to four, they would have to use bait to launch a sneak attack.

Since it is right, there is no need to oppose it.

Besides, Kakashi wasn't too worried because Natsuki was in the Land of Rice. Even if Sasuke was kidnapped, Natsuki would be there to rescue him. Kakashi even thought that Natsuki would suddenly use Flying Thunder God to flash over, and the so-called Four People would not be a concern at all.

"Okay then, let's follow Sasuke's plan!"

The three of them nodded, and then Shino immediately released a large number of insects for reconnaissance.

Sasuke found an open place and stood there, waiting for the four to come over, while Kakashi found a secluded place and hid.

While preparations were underway, Konoha Village also received information from Natsuki.

Tsunade got a headache after reading the information: "Orochimaru's lair has been found, but this venomous snake has sent four powerful guys to find Sasuke. It seems that Orochimaru is really eyeing Sasuke's body."

Shizune also looked at the information, and when she saw that the four people could use the power of the curse seal, her expression became solemn.

Chapter 157 Bait and Battle

Shizune suggested, "Tsunade-sama, could we get some support from the ninja stationed at the border?"

Tsunade shook her head bluntly, "The ninjas at the border are only of average strength. They can only perform reconnaissance and transmit intelligence, so they can't help much. Currently, the village's jonin and special jonin all have their own plans, so they don't have any manpower available... Wait a minute! There are still people! Our negotiations with the Sand Village are over, and the war will not start. We don't have to worry about attacks from other villages. There's no need for Team Gai to continue guarding. Let them go support Team Kakashi!"

This is really bold!

Kai's team is at the northwest border, and Kakashi's team is at the northeast border. How can we support them?

Shizune's mouth twitched: "Lady Tsunade, why not ask Xia Mu for support? He is in the Land of Rice and can provide support faster."

Tsunade laughed: "Shizune, you are stupid. Xia Mu knows the Flying Thunder God Technique and can provide support at any time. The reason why he did not move is to keep a close eye on Orochimaru. That venomous snake is the real threat. Although Team Kai is far away, have you forgotten that Tiantian has a mountain giant eagle summoning beast? 21"

"Yeah! How could I forget about this! Then let's notify Team Kai right away!"

Shizune finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s really scary to read these news in the Hokage’s office every day. I hope everyone is okay.

Shizune went to arrange the notifications, and Tsunade flipped through other documents. When she saw the recent mission status of the Genin, she couldn't help but twitch her brows.

The Aoba Squad completed their mission well. Although Rock Lee joined temporarily, he played a significant role in the battle and cooperated well with Lun. Hui was also making continuous progress, not only in terms of strength, but also in learning medical ninjutsu. She was a very positive and motivated child.

As for Asuma's squad, things are looking a bit dire. Sakura's strength is lacking, and her coordination with Ino and Choji is also poor.

When he arrived at the Sunset Red Class, his mission completion rate was almost zero, mainly because Naruto's performance was too bad.

For example, when it comes to scouting the enemy, Kiba and Hinata both do a great job, but Naruto seems to have trouble finding the enemy, only reacting when the enemy is right in front of him. Another example is when it comes to lurking, Kiba and Hinata are also competent, but Naruto is too noisy and often makes mistakes, even Akamaru can do better than him.

Tsunade finally understood Kakashi's evaluation of Naruto, which was that unexpectedness was the most important thing.

There are always unexpected things when doing tasks, but sometimes when facing some critical situations, they are unexpectedly reliable, which makes people feel helpless.

However, if the mission completion rate continues to be zero, Tsunade won’t dare to let this class participate in the subsequent Chunin Exams. It’s too worrying!

In fact, this is exactly the case.

In the past, with the reliable Shino in the Yu Ri Hong Ban, nothing would be a problem.

But now Shino has become a Chunin, and Tsunade arranged for Naruto to come in. Hinata doesn't dare to speak loudly to Naruto, and Ya can't control Naruto. This would be a bad thing.

"This won't work! I'll have to arrange a special mission to test them. If they don't cooperate well, we'll have to regroup again!"

Tsunade made up her mind and started contacting some old friends.

Although those old friends are not very strong, they have various skills. Assigning them a task will be enough to make Naruto and his friends suffer.

A day later, near the northeastern border.

Shino's bug discovered the figures of the Four and immediately passed the message to Kakashi and Sasuke.

The corners of Sasuke's lips curled up, he was already impatient, but he still stood still, waiting for the other party to come.

Ten minutes later, the four arrived and stood on a big tree, looking at Sasuke. Their eyes were full of questioning and mocking, which made Sasuke very uncomfortable.

"Who are you?" Sasuke asked in a cold tone.

"We? Haha, we're the ones who are here to test you!"

Kidomaru grinned, "Let's see if you are worthy of Lord Orochimaru's attention. You have obtained the power of the curse seal, but you are still hiding in the peaceful village of Konoha. I think you must be a weakling."

Tayuya said unhappily, "Stop talking nonsense Kidomaru, beat him up first and then tie him up and take him back!"

Sakon, Ukon, and Jirobo naturally had no objections.

The four of them jumped directly towards Sasuke, intending to surround him, but the next second they heard the sound of a mechanism, and sharpened wooden sticks shot out from all directions, completely covering the four of them.

"A trap? Did they know we were coming?"

The four of them were startled and immediately began to show their magical powers.

Kidomaru opened his mouth and spit out sticky silk to wrap around Jirobo's waist, then swung him around with force, while Jirobo swept the wooden stick away with brute force.

But the four did not dare to be careless and immediately chose to disperse.

It just so happened that Sasuke's fireball hit the place where they had just landed. The timing was very good, and luckily they dodged quickly, otherwise they would have been burned.

As soon as Jirofang landed, he heard a buzzing sound.

His face changed and he quickly rolled on the ground, just in time to avoid the attack of the swarm of insects.

When they looked up, they saw a well-wrapped man in sunglasses standing on a big tree not far away. He seemed to have appeared silently and they were completely unaware.

He is a master!

Shino said that I just have a low sense of presence.

Shino made a few seals and immediately countless insects emerged from his body and headed straight for Jirobo. Jirobo had no choice but to continue dodging.

Jirobo can use brute force and earth escape, and can also use earth escape to absorb other people's chakra. This is originally very difficult to deal with, but Shino 523 uses insects to attack from a distance, so it would be strange if Jirobo did not suffer a defeat.

On the other side, Sakon, Ukon and Kidomaru were stopped by Kakashi.

As soon as Kakashi appeared, he launched several Storm Kick slashes at the two men, forcing them to stop.

Sasuke silently drew his short sword, stared at Tayuya, and said in a cold tone: "You are the Four Sound-nin. Did Orochimaru send you to capture me and take me to the Hidden Sound Village, intending to seize my body? However, he underestimated me. Sending only four of you small fry is meaningless."

Tayuya scolded, "You don't understand the power of Orochimaru-sama. He gave us power, and he also gave you power, but you don't know how to use it. You will regret it soon. I will use this power to defeat you, Uchiha genius!"

As she spoke, she quickly formed a seal and slapped the ground.

"Psychic magic! Angry ghost!"

The spirit summoned three tall humanoid spirit beasts, which looked very creepy.

Tayuya took out the flute and started playing it. As the music started, three angry demons began to attack Sasuke.

Sasuke understood instantly: "Control these three monsters to attack through sound? If it's only this extent, then you can die!"

He ignored the angry ghost and immediately used the instant body movement technique to rush towards Tayuya.
