Escape From Konoha

"What a big snake!"

Naruto's eyes widened in surprise. It was the first time in his life that he saw such a huge python. His vision suffered an unprecedented impact, and he stayed in place for a while.

"Naruto, don't be in a daze there!"

Sasuke retreated to a safe area where the Orochi could not attack, gritting his teeth and staring at the sudden attack of the Orochi.

This snake is not a desert species. Sasuke judged at a glance that the ridiculously large snake in front of him was not the sand snake species in the Demonic Desert.

If we rule out the sand snake species that are not found in the desert, then there is only one possibility that Sasuke can think of - this is a large snake that was artificially channeled.

What level of creatures will be summoned by the psychic technique will be screened based on the chakra used by the practitioner.

To put it simply, when performing psychic skills, the more chakra used, the more powerful the summoned psychic beast will be.

Seeing the huge snake that was twenty or thirty meters long in front of him, which could cause great destructive power by swinging at random, Sasuke suddenly became extremely vigilant.

To be able to summon a psychic beast of this level, the magician's strength is definitely above him.

Are there any genin candidates of this level? Sasuke recalled all the genin who passed the first exam. Although he could not judge the strength of most of the candidates, he could still faintly sense the strong genin with his Sharingan.

Who is it? From the corner of Sasuke's eyes, he kept searching around, trying to find the magician who came out of the psychic snake from the corner of the ruins.

If the magician suddenly came to make a surprise attack while dealing with this big snake, the situation would instantly turn against them.

However, after searching with his eyes for a while, Sasuke still couldn't find anything unusual from the ruins.

Everything seemed so dead and deep, only the cold wind mixed with the strange smell of the big snake, blowing towards his face.

"Sasuke! Naruto! Are you okay?"

Sakura was also taken aback by the big snake that suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and her voice was trembling with fear.

"Sakura, take care to protect yourself, this thing is hard to deal with!"

Sasuke took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag and held it with his backhand. The chakra in his body began to flow to the kunai. The kunai was instantly covered by dense electric light, which not only enhanced the kunai's attack power, but also made the kunai possess Paralyzing effect.

Without hesitation, when Orochimaru raised his head and prepared to launch the next charge, Sasuke took the lead and rushed forward. Along the way, only the afterimage left by his movement could be seen. By the time Orochimaru found Sasuke's figure, Sasuke had already jumped. In the air, he quickly aimed at the big snake's head with Kunai and stabbed it.

The big snake felt that the crisis was approaching, so it shook its body directly, and the huge snake tail swept quickly, only a black shadow could be seen coming from the side.

So fast! Sasuke was startled, and he had no time to defend himself. His body was knocked away by the snake's tail and fell into the ruins. With a bang, a wall was smashed by Sasuke's body, and his body was buried beneath the rubble.

"Sasuke!"

Seeing Sasuke being knocked down by the big snake, Sakura suddenly exclaimed.

Shaking away the crushed stones on his body, Sasuke's face was pale, and several wounds were cut on his arms by the sharp stones, bleeding continuously.

Sasuke took a sip of the dirt in his mouth, and said to Sakura: "Don't worry, I'm fine. This guy moves very quickly, don't be careless."

When saying these words, Sasuke's attention has been focused on Orochi, and his eyes have not moved away for a moment.

I'm afraid that if you don't pay attention, you will be attacked by this big snake.

Judging from the situation where the big snake hit him flying just now, the opponent's attack strength is amazing.

If his body hadn't been greatly improved compared to before, he might have fallen to the ground just now and needed Sakura's medical ninjutsu treatment before he could fight again.

However, with such a tense situation, as well as the enemies secretly peeping here, there is not much time to heal the injuries.

In the next battle, we must try not to be hit as critically as possible.

Not detecting any traces of the enemy means that the enemy's concealment ability is very strong.

What you need to pay attention to is by no means the only big snake on the surface.

Sasuke gave Naruto a vague look, and the meaning was very clear, that is, to join forces to fight the enemy.

"Hehe, as expected, I still need to save the situation myself."

Naruto grasped his clenched fists. Seeing such a huge snake, the warlike factor in his body was also aroused.

It can be used to test his growth over the past few months.

"Then, let's get started."

As soon as Naruto finished speaking, he quickly formed seals with his hands, and the banging sound kept coming. In an instant, more than a dozen clones of Naruto appeared on the stage, each of them holding a kunai.

"Everyone, come on together!"

"oh!"

A dozen clones of Naruto ran forward with kunai in hand without fear of death. Each kunai was attached with a sharp aura, which was the adhesion ability of wind attribute chakra, which could greatly increase The sharpness of the kunai. This kind of increase is not even weaker than the thrusting ability given by thunder attribute chakra.

Seeing more than a dozen clones of Naruto rushing towards him, the big snake opened its bloody mouth and let out a terrifying roar. It didn't make any too complicated movements, it just rolled up its tail again and turned into a swift black shadow. With the sound of breaking through the air, the snake's tail fell from the sky like a sharp blade.

boom!

Before Snake Tail could crush more than a dozen of Naruto's clones with its overwhelming offensive, a huge fireball carrying high temperature struck from one side and hit Snake Tail in the middle.

The big snake screamed again, but this time the scream was accompanied by waves of pain.

The high temperature of the flame caused its snake tail to burn completely. It kept twisting its body and slapped the ruined buildings with its tail, hoping to extinguish the flames on its tail.

"Don't even think about it!"

A dozen clones of Naruto jumped up, and the kunai carrying wind attribute chakra directly broke through the hard snake skin of the big snake and penetrated deeply into the big snake's flesh.

The big snake twisted even more violently, and the screams and wails made it start to roll, but this also made the big snake fall into an extremely violent state.

The vertical pupils were blood-red, full of cruelty and bloodlust.

However, in the eyes of Sasuke and Naruto, its state is nothing more than a trapped beast still fighting, a final struggle.

"Chidori!"

The piercing chirping of birds sounded in the dark night, illuminating the surrounding sand. As Sasuke ran, he adjusted the position of his arms to use a better focus point to attack.

When approaching the body of the big snake, Sasuke jumped on the big snake's head. Chakra gathered under his feet and settled firmly. No matter how violently the big snake shook his body, Sasuke did not fall off its head.

Without hesitation, Sasuke quickly dropped the lightning concentrated on his right hand.

Poof!

The lightning was like cutting tofu, sinking directly into the snake's head, and blood flew out, splashing Sasuke's face.

Half of Sasuke's arms were stuck in the big snake's head. Seeing that the big snake under his feet was struggling more and more weakly, he pulled his arm out of the big snake's head and jumped downwards.

The moment Sasuke landed, the front half of the Orochi's body, which had been holding its head high in the air, crashed down with a roar, creating a large crater on the ground and kicking up a large amount of sand and dust.

When the smoke dissipated, the big snake opened its mouth wide, but it had lost its breath and lay motionless on its side.

"Is it over?"

Sakura glanced at Orochi's body with some fear, then walked to Sasuke and asked.

Naruto also walked over, staring at the big snake without blinking, as if thinking about how such a big python grew.

In Naruto's impression, snakes more than ten meters long were considered rare, but this snake was at least twenty or thirty meters long, which was beyond his imagination.

"No, this snake is not a native species in the desert, and it is not suitable for growing in the desert. It is obviously a person who was channeled by someone."

When Sasuke said these words, his eyes turned into Sharingan at some point. The dark magatama rotated in his pupils, and he scanned the dark environment around him vigilantly.

The battle is not over yet.

Sure enough, after hearing Sasuke's words, Naruto and Sakura also looked serious, and like Sasuke, they began to look around, trying to find the location of the enemy.

Just when the three of them were trying to find the location of the hidden enemy in the surrounding ruins, a cold voice suddenly spread through the air:

"Haha, you are indeed a person who has inherited the Uchiha bloodline. You really did not disappoint me."

This cold voice could not tell the difference between male and female, and it was traceless, as if it was close to my ears yet far away in the horizon.

An invisible sense of oppression pressed on Sasuke's heart, making his expression become extremely heavy.

"You pretentious bastard, get out of here!"

Naruto shouted, completely unafraid of the owner of the voice.

Click.

As if to cater to Naruto's shouts, a strange sound came from the snake's body.

The eyes of Sasuke and others were immediately attracted, only to see the body of the Orochi lying there quietly, with a larger crack on its head than the injury caused by Chidori.

And this crack has a tendency to increase and gradually crack.

I saw a pair of arms suddenly stretched out from the crack of the snake's corpse. The strange scene, a gust of wind blowing past, and the dark late night environment, Naruto and Sakura couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

This eerie scene is like watching a horror movie.

Sasuke's expression was silent, staring intently at the pair of arms that emerged from the snake's corpse.

Not long after, the two hands completely broke free from the crack, and then they tore it apart with force, causing the crack to expand again. The trend of expansion did not stop until the crack was large enough to accommodate the passage of an adult.

A man whose whole body was covered with light yellow transparent mucus stood unsteadily on the corpse of the big snake, looking down at the three people on the ground in a condescending manner.

This man had long black hair and pale skin, as transparent as a candle. It did not look like the skin color of a living person, but that of a dead person.

The mouth was a bit larger than that of an ordinary person. A long tongue came out of the mouth and licked the mucus on the lips. Then the corners of the mouth were raised and a smile of unknown meaning was raised. With golden vertical pupils that resembled snakes, Staring at Sasuke and the other three.

"This guy...is a human...is he a snake?"

Naruto squinted his eyes and looked at the other person's appearance and clothing, and couldn't tell whether the other person was a human or a snake.

That dangerous smile and snake-like vertical pupils seemed to tell others that he was a snake.

But it has a human body. Although many of its characteristics are similar to those of snake-like creatures, it cannot be concluded that the other party is not a human being.

Instinctively, Naruto felt that there was something wrong with the snake man in front of him.

Sasuke stared at the snake man in front of him with cold eyes, and the nerves in his body began to tighten. He asked word by word: "Who are you? Are you not a candidate for the Chunin Exam? I am a candidate." I haven’t seen you among them.”

Sasuke's words also made Naruto and Sakura realize that indeed, among the candidates who passed the first exam, no one matched the image of the snake man in front of them.

In other words, the other party is not a candidate for the Chunin Exam.

"My name is Orochimaru. This name may be a little unfamiliar to you. But it doesn't matter. From today on, we will officially know each other, Sasuke-kun."

Orochimaru looked at Sasuke's Sharingan with an almost greedy gaze.

In other words, this line of sight is more inclined to obsession.

He had already understood the secret of the Sharingan, combined with the information he had collected and the information provided by Nagato.

If he had taken action against Itachi out of some interest at first, but after learning that the final form of the Sharingan was the legendary Rinnegan, even he would have the desire to appropriate this thing.

Because the Samsara Eye possesses powerful forbidden techniques of life and death, it can better serve its own immortality technique.

The chance of him getting Nagato's Rinnegan eyes is extremely slim.

Therefore, we can only start from other directions.

Start with the most basic Sharingan.

Well, there are two preselected goals.

One is Uchiha Itachi and the other is Uchiha Ruri.

The former is easier to deal with than the latter.

To deal with the latter, you have to deal with two other tricky ninjas at the same time. The level of danger is no less than facing Nagato head-on. In his current situation, there is no difference between him and seeking death. The Sound Hidden Village that was finally established will be uprooted without leaving a trace.

In contrast, starting from Uchiha Itachi's Rinnegan Eye has the highest success rate and the lowest risk.

In addition, if Nagato knows about it, he will acquiesce in his actions and there will be no unplanned mistakes.

Then, Sasuke's belonging has become a very critical issue.

Only by obtaining Sasuke's right of ownership can subsequent plans be ensured to proceed safely.

"Orochimaru?"

Sasuke frowned. He always felt that the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

On the contrary, when Sakura heard the name Orochimaru, her face instantly became as white as a sheet of paper. She was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her body was frozen there, not daring to move.

"Sakura, do you know?"

Seeing Sakura like this, Sasuke hurriedly asked.

Sakura nodded blankly, her eyes seemed to have lost focus, leaving only fear and despair.

"Orochimaru... is one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, just like Lord Tsunade who pioneered Konoha's new era of medical system..."

Saying these words with difficulty seemed to take all Sakura's strength.

Sakura's knees weakened and she collapsed on the ground, losing the courage to fight.

Because Sakura knows that the enemy in front of her is impossible to defeat.

Sannin's fame and strength are transcendent existences second only to the Five Kages in the current world.

For those who are submissive, they only have to be slaughtered.

"Konoha's legendary Sannin...that is to say, this guy is our Konoha's ninja?"

Naruto was surprised.

"Idiot! Since Sakura said it was once, it means that this guy is now the village's traitorous ninja! Not a companion at all!"

Sasuke was speechless about Naruto's slow brain, but seeing Sakura's unbearable look, he also knew that the snake man in front of him was not an ordinary ninja.

The legendary Sannin.

Sasuke once heard from Kakashi that he was an elite jounin who made countless achievements in Konoha during the war. Each of them had the strong reputation and strength to participate in the Hokage Candidate Conference at that time.

Such ninjas are undoubtedly the top group of ninjas.

The most important thing is that the strange aura that Orochimaru exudes all the time makes every cell in Sasuke's body sound like a warning. His instinct tells him that he should focus on escaping now.

In a frontal fight, there is only one dead end.

"Rebel Ninja?"

No matter how dull Naruto was, he knew what the term "renegade ninja" represented, and he looked at Orochimaru with coldness.

"It's such an honor. I didn't expect that people of your generation would still know my name. But even so, I don't intend to hold back on you. Especially you, Sasuke-kun, let me take a look at your name. It’s in good condition.”

The smile on Orochimaru's face was even more unscrupulous, full of evil intentions.

"Bastard, don't forget about me!"

Seeing that no matter who it was, Sasuke seemed to be the only one in his eyes, and he was always the one ignored. This made Naruto feel very unhappy, so he clenched his fists and rushed towards Orochimaru quickly.

"Wait, Naruto, don't be impulsive—"

However, Sasuke's voice was too late.

Naruto had already rushed in front of Orochimaru and punched Orochimaru in the face with his fist.

boom!

Naruto's fist hit Orochimaru in the face without any surprise.

While Sasuke was surprised, he also felt something was wrong.

"This guy... what's going on?"

Seeing that Orochimaru had been punched by him, he was still standing there stably. Even though he was hit head-on by a powerful fist, his body did not even shake. It was as if the fist that hit him in the face was just a soft blow. It's just a fist.

But Naruto knew how powerful the destructive power of his fist was when he used all his strength.

"Naruto-kun, although you are also very good, it is a pity that I am not interested in you for the time being. If possible, can you stand aside for a while and watch quietly?"

Orochimaru tilted his head, and the evil smile on his face became more and more unrestrained.

"Stop looking down on others!"

Naruto's body turned sharply, and one leg swept over forcefully.

Snapped!

Orochimaru did not let Naruto attack this time, but quickly grabbed the calf that Naruto kicked with his hand.

Naruto felt his body suddenly fly off the ground, and by the time he reacted, his body had been thrown into the sky by a terrifying force.

"hateful!"

Naruto adjusted his posture in mid-air and began to form seals.

The moment he formed the seal and let go of the ninjutsu, the ground below suddenly shook.

Naruto turned his head and saw that a huge pothole appeared on the ground at some point. A bigger snake than before appeared from the pothole, opened its bloody mouth, and when Naruto was caught off guard, it snarled in one mouthful. People swallowed it in their stomachs.

The Orochi glanced at the smiling Orochimaru, and as if he got some kind of hint, he quickly got into the hole and disappeared.

"Naruto!"

Sasuke rushed over, trying to chase the big snake.

"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"

Orochimaru quickly formed a seal on the snake's body and spat out.

A strong wind blew, and under the influence of this strong wind, the entire space was buzzing and shaking.

Wherever the strong wind passed, all the buildings were swept away, and the land was swept up by the strong wind. It blew violently into the distance, extending a deep tunnel more than ten meters long.

Seeing this scene, Sasuke shrank his pupils.

He knew the basic ninjutsu of Wind Release: Great Breakthrough.

Naruto will use this trick.

However, the great breakthrough in front of him and the great breakthrough performed by Naruto were simply not comparable to each other.

Sasuke was certain that if he had been in this storm just now, his body would have been torn to pieces by the strong wind, and he would have been seriously injured at the very least.

And this is just the result of a casual ninjutsu move by the opponent.

Looking at Sasuke who had no way out, Orochimaru grinned, with a proud look like a beast that had spotted a delicious prey.

◎

"Master Machi, it's not good!"

Maki was preparing to sleep in the room when a Sunagakure ninja barged in without knocking on the door, startling him.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Marky was not angry, but asked calmly.

The Sunagakure ninja in front of him looked anxious. It was obviously because of some urgent matter that he barged in so rudely.

"This is information from Konoha! The information says that Orochimaru has lurked into the examination room of the second exam!"

The Sunagakure ninja quickly repeated the information he had received. Although he tried his best to restrain his panic, the urgency in his eyes betrayed him.

"What!?"

Magee took the scroll handed over by the Sunagakure ninja, opened it, and froze in place.

This is indeed a communication from Konoha, and the content of the communication is the same as what the Sunagakure ninja said. One of the three ninjas who defected from Konoha, the extremely dangerous S-class rebel Orochimaru, is lurking in this joint chunin exam. In the examination room of the second exam, the intention is unknown.

After reading the news, Markey's face was covered with cold sweat.

He realized that if this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, then the prestige of Hidden Sand Village will be wiped out, and it will be condemned by various countries in the future.

"Damn it! Why did that guy Orochimaru come here!"

Mackey yelled.

"Master Maji, what shall we do now?"

Sand hidden ninja asked worriedly.

"Call all the Sunagakure Jonin stationed here. In addition, go and invite Miss Ichihime and Mr. Kakashi. If you want to deal with Orochimaru, you must have ninjas of the same level involved!"

Maki knew very well that even if all the sand hidden jomins in the control tower were called, it would be impossible to stop Orochimaru from making trouble in the examination room of the Devil's Desert.

If you want to deal with ninjas at the level of Orochimaru, you must have ninjas of the same level to restrain them.

Among all the Jnin from various countries here in the central control tower, only Kazuki and Kakashi have the ability to repel Orochimaru. Because Kazekage was sitting in Hidden Sand Village, he hadn't personally been to the examination room in the Devil's Desert.

And no one would have thought that a notorious rebel would dare to be so bold to break into the examination room jointly held by various countries and make trouble.

"yes!"

The Sunagakure ninja immediately ran out of the room, leaving Maki alone in the room.

Marki could only force himself to calm down at this time. As long as he mobilized enough power, even repelling the three ninjas would not be a big problem.

But he was very confused about Orochimaru's purpose of sneaking into the examination room.

If it weren't for some special intentions, it would be impossible for such a ninja to personally risk offending various major powers and come here to cause trouble.

Soon, Markey thought of a possibility.

According to a piece of news circulating in Konoha, there is a mysterious organization in the shadows of the ninja world, which is secretly collecting tailed beasts from various countries.

Orochimaru seems to be a member of this organization.

"Is the purpose of Orochimaru..."

Thinking of some terrible possibility, Ma Ji's face instantly turned pale.
