Escape From Konoha

Due to the sudden break in the ground, Sasuke could only watch as he lost his fulcrum and the soles of his feet flew into the air.

The giant snake's mouth opened, and what led to the depths of the snake's mouth was an endless dark abyss. Faced with such a sudden and terrifying scene, Sasuke's Sharingan eyes still did not waver at all, and there was only a coldness that was not disturbed by any external factors. .

"In the way."

He softly uttered these two words in his mouth, lightning gathered on his palms, and he pointed at the giant snake that suddenly appeared below.

Thunder and lightning instantly shot out from Sasuke's hand in the form of a beam. The air that became thick and moist could not block the lightning at all. The lightning was allowed to penetrate the air, and finally turned into a thunder light gun, piercing through the head of the big snake.

When the screams were released from the giant snake's mouth, they were also mixed with the scene of blood splattering. Even though the giant snake had unusual vitality, it could not make itself this extraordinary after being penetrated by lightning in the head. His strong body lasts one second of life.

Sasuke stepped on the half-body body of the giant snake that emerged from the ground, and quickly jumped back with the help of this fulcrum.

His nose twitched slightly, and the air was filled with a dirty and sour smell of rust, making Sasuke feel extremely nauseous and uncomfortable.

Click.

The skin near the head of the giant snake seemed to be cracking open, and a slender figure emerged from there.

The long black hair stained with turbid mucus, and the waxy white skin are not what a human should have, and the body is incredibly flexible. The moment he came out, he was lying on the body of the giant snake in a weird posture, giving people the feeling of It's a snake.

But there is no doubt that he is a human being, not a snake-like creature.

"Orochimaru."

Sasuke kept a calm expression and called the man's name in an emotionless voice.

A cold-blooded snake wearing human skin, an absolute alien among humans. This was Sasuke's evaluation after contacting the other party.

As for the other party's performance, it was no surprise that it fit this evaluation perfectly, without any deviation.

"Hehe, Sasuke-kun, you are still as cold as ever."

Orochimaru shook his body, and slowly stood up straight from the giant snake's broken wound. The slimy liquid slipped from his skin and hair, but he didn't seem to care, and laughed at Sasuke, as if Suddenly something happened that made him happy.

"What do you mean? Even if you say hello, it's a little too enthusiastic. I don't like such parties."

The lightning that gathered in Sasuke's body dissipated in the air, and his sharp aura began to subside, and he became like an ordinary person, just staring at Orochimaru's body up and down with his red Sharingan, observing his every step of action.

"Don't say that, Sasuke-kun. The stage here today was specially built for you." He shook his body and let out a nervous laugh. Maybe he was too excited, causing his brain to start to change. Dei became abnormal: "As for the purpose, of course it is for us to become one and become the most perfect existence in this world."

Lifting the soles of his feet from the broken wound of the giant snake, the whole person showed the posture of standing on the corpse of the giant snake. In the pair of golden vertical pupils that were no different from those of snakes, Sasuke's figure and the pair of Sharingan were clearly reflected. bright colors.

Deep in the golden snake eyes, there is a color of covetous greed, which is displayed without any concealment.

"Yeah?"

Sasuke's tone was still extremely calm, and Orochimaru's words mixed with fanatical intentions could not make him feel shaken at all.

Rather, this is a fact that both parties have long understood.

In order to get his body, Orochimaru had spared no effort to cultivate him in the past three years. Any abundant resources were given to him first. Even if a lot was wasted, he didn't care.

And naturally he couldn't simply think that Orochimaru's contribution was absolutely selfless. Even in his innocence, he knew that all Orochimaru's sacrifices for him were secretly written into the price.

Now, it was time for him to officially pay the price to Orochimaru.

"I thought a ninja like you would continue to be patient for a while, but I didn't expect you to be more impatient than I thought. It just so happens that I am no longer interested in you. You can't teach me anything anymore. Let's end it here today. "

Sasuke said calmly.

Although the current situation was not his intention, and there was no notification from Jugo, he probably didn't know that he had completely broken up with Orochimaru at this time.

However, bringing Jugo along was just to eliminate factors other than Orochimaru, such as the four Otogakure.

Although he has been getting along with each other in the past few years, he has won the support of Tayuya and Jirobo among the four. However, Orochimaru has accumulated power in the hearts of the four for a long time. It is difficult to say which side they will choose to help at the critical moment. .

Jonggo was the one who accepted his arrangement in order to prevent these external factors.

However, it is no longer useful.

Orochimaru had no intention of letting the others intervene, so naturally he couldn't involve Jugo.

This is a battle between him and Orochimaru.

The winner gains everything, the loser loses everything.

"That's because the smell on you, Sasuke-kun, has become very delicious. If you continue to endure it, even I can't guarantee that no accident will happen. So, now let's merge into one!"

After Orochimaru said this, he quickly jumped down from the giant snake's body. His limbs were as soft as bones, clinging to the ground like a gecko, and his mouth was opened to the limit, even beyond the limit that humans can reach.

"The Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes!"

Hiss~

Hiss~

The sound of a venomous snake spitting out a message sends chills down your spine.

Countless venomous snakes spread out from Orochimaru's mouth that expanded to the limit.

He simply turned his body into a giant snake cave, and his mouth was the entrance for the snakes to enter and exit.

In just the blink of an eye, countless venomous snakes spread out, densely packed, blocking the road in front of Sasuke, turning it into a dark sea of ​​snakes, and occupying Sasuke's entire field of vision.

It was so dark that it made my scalp numb.

Even Sasuke, who had remained calm-faced, couldn't help but frown.

However, there was no flinching in his eyes.

The dark sea of ​​snakes in front of him was indeed astonishing, but it was not enough to threaten his life.

But letting these poisonous snakes get close to his body is what Sasuke doesn't want to see.

Subconsciously, Sasuke kicked the ground hard with his feet, and his body rushed towards the group of dark snakes like an arrow from a string.

Before touching the group of snakes, Sasuke formed seals with his hands and quickly accumulated a large amount of Senjutsu Chakra in his mouth. Then he stared at the endless sea of ​​snakes in front of him and released all the Senjutsu Chakra with the fire attribute in his mouth in one breath.

"The Immortal Technique: The Great Fire is extinguished!"

boom!

The fire shot into the sky, and the blazing heat distorted the surrounding air.

The incandescent light instantly covered the group of pitch-black snakes in front of them, rolling over the ground. Countless poisonous snakes were violently lifted into the air by the strong storm in the incandescent light and heat at the center of the sea of ​​fire. They then lost their traces in the firelight and disappeared without a trace.

The group of pitch-black snakes that originally blocked the middle aisle were swept away by the sea of ​​fire, leaving only a few torn and charred snake skins, steaming.

Perhaps the high-temperature attack of the sea of ​​​​fire was too fierce, causing accidents to occur in the cultivation devices on both sides of the middle aisle. The strengthened glass that imprisoned the twisted giant creatures quickly developed cracks and expanded rapidly under the previous high-temperature baking.

boom!

Glass shards flew everywhere, and green liquid spurted out from the cracks in the glassware.

The giant creatures that were sleeping like dead things suddenly opened their red snake eyes, and a horrifying aura was released from them, making the already thick air in the space even heavier.

Sasuke clearly saw that there were curse marks on these twisted giant creatures.

In addition, the eyes of these creatures tend to have vertical pupils like snakes. It is not difficult to see that the power of the curse seal has been injected into these creatures by Orochimaru.

Judging from the original forms of these creatures, they should be psychic beasts captured here, but they have become twisted in a different way under Orochimaru's living transformation.

"Boring, just doing these childish tricks."

As if provoked by Sasuke's words, the giant psychic beasts that escaped from the restraints of the container began to activate the curse marks on their bodies. The dark marks were released from the curse marks, covering every part of their bodies. Then waves of ominous purple chakra spurted out from them, as if they were about to lift off the ceiling of the laboratory, unleashing their willpower to hit the wall panels above.

The building also buzzed and shook under the powerful bursts of chakra, and pieces of broken stones fell from the ceiling, hitting Sasuke's feet.

Boom!

First, a large psychic beast stepped forward and trampled the hard ground into pieces.

Then came the second and third psychic beasts with red snake eyes, emitting a sinister and ferocious chakra aura, surrounding Sasuke.

Without warning, a psychic beast stretched out its white claws and launched a surprise attack as if it wanted to tear Sasuke's body apart.

But with Sasuke's next move, this offensive stopped immediately.

The cold sword light cut through the air, and the large psychic beast that stretched out its claws stiffened. The other psychic beasts surrounding Sasuke also stiffened, and their red eyes dimmed.

As Sasuke sheathed his sword, the upper bodies of the huge psychic beasts around him began to tilt and move, like pieces of white paper cut in the middle with a knife, simply divided into two halves.

The blood spurted out and scattered around Sasuke, but not a drop of it touched Sasuke's body, as if it was carefully controlled, resulting in this deliberate result.

Sasuke jumped out of the ground that was about to be covered by the spread of plasma and came to the outside of the circle surrounded by psychic beasts. He glanced around and found no sign of Orochimaru. He only saw snake skins scorched away by the high temperature of the flames.

Just when Sasuke was about to continue walking forward, he suddenly felt a stinging sensation from a needle on the left side of his neck, which made his body sore and weak. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to cover the left side of his neck, and he squatted down, frowning tightly. They were wrinkled together and never relaxed.

"This is……"

Sasuke touched the spot where the curse seal was on the left side of his neck. There was a hot and scalding breath coming from there. But if he felt carefully, under the hot skin, there was an icy cold that could penetrate deep into the bone marrow, making his body feel somewhere between cold and hot. Devastated.

As a result, Sasuke began to generate senjutsu chakra in his body, preparing to suppress the power of the curse seal in one breath.

Click!

The sound of the earth cracking came too suddenly, and Sasuke's plan to generate senjutsu chakra in his body was undoubtedly interrupted.

The giant white snake quickly emerged from the cracked floor, and then curled up tightly. Sasuke, who had no time to react, tightened the arms tightly, making it impossible for him to move.

As if it felt that this was not safe, the giant white snake opened its mouth again, and purple poisonous mist spewed out from the bottomless mouth, covering all the surrounding space, including Sasuke, who was restrained and unable to move even half a step. .

"Orochimaru, you guy..."

Sasuke raised his eyes with a sharp look.

The body of this giant white snake is entirely made up of a large number of white snakes. The scale-like skin on its body is made up of white snake heads, which make up the skin of the giant snake.

The head of the giant snake is a snake-shaped white human face.

Despite the relatively large changes, Sasuke was still able to tell from this alienated face who this somewhat familiar face originally belonged to.

"Sasuke."

Orochimaru, who transformed into a white snake, spoke Sasuke's name in a hoarse and deep voice while sticking out his tongue.

"It seems that you not only like to lively transform others, but also yourself? But you are really ugly like this."

Even though he was restrained, the corners of Sasuke's mouth still curled up slightly, revealing a calm smile.

As if it's not time to despair yet, he still has the ability to make a comeback.

Orochimaru ignored this and controlled the white snake head to slowly approach Sasuke. The tongue he spat out almost touched Sasuke's cheek, and his golden vertical pupils revealed a color of obsession.

"Sasuke..."

Continuing to call Sasuke's name, the snake head stepped back, not because he felt danger, but to ensure that his final blow would be effective, leaving enough space for charging, purposefully opening the distance, and accumulating energy in his body. Enough strength. Just like an archer, in order to make the arrow fly farther, he must pull the bow string back hard and strive to kill with one hit.

After retreating to a certain distance, the snakehead stopped in mid-air.

His long-cherished wish was about to come true, and the originally cold snake blood in his body seemed to be boiling, desperately craving for something.

The greed and desire in the golden snake's eyes could no longer be contained, and spewed out like a volcanic eruption.

"Sasuke!"

So, he shouted the name again with enthusiasm, and the extent of his mouth split exceeded the limit of normal snakes.

"I want to get you!"

Orochimaru seemed to have seen the end of victory, and burst out with all his strength to rush towards Sasuke, abandoning all attacks.

"Yeah?"

It was like looking at a dead person, Sasuke's tone remained calm and unmoved by anything.

"Then go to hell."

Talking about an ordinary little thing.

The next moment, blood spurted out without warning and spread around.

Orochimaru, who transformed into a giant white snake, stopped his momentum and twisted his body in mid-air, letting out a hoarse scream and blood splattering from his mouth.

Amidst the flying blood, the snake body wrapped around Sasuke was divided into several pieces at some point and scattered on the ground.

Sasuke held the blood-stained Kusanagi sword, jumped into the air, rushed towards the head of Orochimaru, who was twisting in pain, and ruthlessly waved the blood-stained sword blade in his hand.

"Your time is over, Orochimaru."

…

"Has it started yet?"

On the empty platform outside the stronghold, Bai Shi, wearing a doctor's coat, jumped down from the sky and sensed the entire stronghold. Under the scanning of his soul secret technique, everything was clearly visible.

Whether it was the deployment of troops or the battle in the deepest laboratory, everything was clearly presented in Shiraishi's mind, and not a single step was missed.

Chakra can deceive people, but the soul cannot.

"Stop!"

On the originally empty platform, a dozen figures suddenly rushed out, all wearing Otogakure ninja forehead protectors. They were undoubtedly Orochimaru's subordinates.

After discovering Shiraishi's figure, they immediately reacted and surrounded Shiraishi. The leader Oto Ninja interrogated him in a questioning tone.

However, Baishi seemed not to have heard this. He put his hands in the pockets of his white coat, with a faint smile on his lips, and just stepped forward step by step, as if there was no one around.

"Damn it, didn't you hear that? Get him!"

As if being stimulated by Shiraishi's contemptuous behavior, the surrounding Otogakure ninjas gave up questioning and swarmed up with all their strength, preparing to take Shiraishi down in one fell swoop and throw him into the dungeon for interrogation.

What stopped all this was the air blades that cut through the atmosphere.

The air blade shining brilliantly with white light ruthlessly passed through the bodies of the Otogakure ninjas surrounding Shiraishi.

In the blink of an eye, only blood was left on the ground, as well as broken limbs that had been decomposed by the air blade.

The air blade continued to shuttle, leaving deep slashes on the ground along the way, and flew towards the gate of the stronghold.

boom!

The moment the air blade hit the gate of the stronghold, a violent explosion immediately occurred, shattering the gate of the protective stronghold from the front.

"who!?"

The moment the gate exploded, more figures emerged from the corridor connecting the stronghold gate.

They were all ninjas from Otogakure Village. When they saw the blood and broken limbs remaining on the ground, their pupils shrank, and a biting chill ran from their heels to their spines.

Before they could react, a gust of wind roared out from beside Bai Shi, and it was a red and white figure.

Wearing the holy dress of a shrine maiden, Tianyu Nu gathered wind attribute chakra in her hands, and launched air blades from her palms at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, slashing at the unaware enemy.

Whether it was a building blocking the road or a ninja, Shiraishi, the wind clone created by the Creator, gave them all equal destruction and cleared a passage for them to pass through.

"Quick, stop them!"

As one of their companions fell down and blood splashed on their faces, the Otogakure ninjas reacted from their daze.

Several of them directly used the power of the curse seal. Black patterns covered their whole body, and the muscles and bones of their whole body seemed to be twisted. Ominous purple chakra spurted out of their bodies, turning into a humanoid monster.

One of them created a hard rock on his body and punched hard.

However, Tianyu Nu didn't even look at him and released an air blade towards him.

"To this extent——"

The air blade passed through his head magnificently, and his skull flew away.

The sound stopped suddenly.

Even if you cover your whole body with rock that is hard enough to withstand the damage of air blades, it is meaningless if you don't surround your head, which is also a weak point.

For a time, the miserable howls and whines of the defeated people, and the sound of Tianyu Nu's wanton release of Wind Escape, were transmitted intermittently through the air.

However, all this has nothing to do with Baishi, who has already left this battlefield and headed towards the stronghold.

◎

Figures wearing heavy black armor, black coats, and long black beak-pointed masks were flying through the forests of Tian Country.

On both sides of their waists, there were two military blades, one long and one short, that were different from the standard Ninja swords, looming among the black coats that were running and flying.

Only the girl leading the group did not wear chakra armor and a beak mask that symbolized ominousness and death like them.

Her clothes are quite simple. It seems to be to facilitate the movement of her two arms. Her upper body is a tight black off-shoulder leather jacket, and a pair of black leather fingerless gloves worn on the palms. On the back of the gloves, there are inlays that can withstand weapons. Silver gray iron sheet.

The lower body is a trendy black miniskirt paired with knee-high socks. Inside the miniskirt, you can vaguely see the safety shorts.

A black belt is tied to the right side of the thigh, holding a short flintlock gun, and a sheathed long sword is worn on the left waist for close combat.

In addition, there is a black cloak with a stand-up collar on the outside. When running and galloping, the girl's long black hair flutters in the wind.

"Kui, can you clearly see the number of people on the other side?"

Ichiji, who was running between the branches of the trees, turned to look at a figure in the team who looked extremely petite even if he was wearing chakra armor.

That petite figure had a pair of pure white pupils exposed from the eye holes of its black beak mask.

Roll your eyes.

Among the thorn team that brought together forbidden arts, secret arts, and blood-bound ninjas, a Jonin from the Hyuuga clan of the Kingdom of Ghosts was naturally added.

Hinata Aoi is her name.

The normal observation distance of the Byakugan is one kilometer, while the observation distance of Hinata's Byakugan is within four kilometers, and the precise observation distance is three kilometers.

This distance is enough to avoid many risks.

Hinata's slightly childish voice rang in the air: "The number of people is between forty and fifty, and most of them are jounin. There are a few chakras that are particularly powerful, and there is a chakra that is even better than this. Although not as good as you, the captain, you are quite rare among ninjas. Judging from his appearance, he should be Konoha's Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki."

Yiji's expression remained unchanged.

Jinchuriki has many characteristics, one of which is the large amount of chakra.

The same is true for Gaara of Sunagakure Village. He is a ninja born with chakra that far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Moreover, some of the chakra is used to suppress the tailed beast in the body and cannot be used for fighting.

If you include these, the jinchuriki's chakra is even more terrifying.

"Captain, with our numbers, I'm afraid we can't stop them."

The total number of people in Konoha, Sunagakure, and Kumogakure is between forty and fifty, and there are more than thirty Jonin. This is an extremely luxurious team configuration.

Especially if there is a dangerous existence like jinchūriki among them, if the enemy wants to break through the blockade, they will have no choice.

Even if it is Ichiki, no matter how fast the teleportation technique is, it is impossible to stop the scattered Jonin at the same time, unless it is a time and space ninjutsu that is faster than the teleportation technique.

"It doesn't matter. Just block as many as you can. I will contain the most difficult ones, and you will contain the rest. Zitong, you will command the team. If the current situation becomes unavoidable, just evacuate and leave me alone. .”

Ichiji gave instructions to the wood escape ninjas in the team.

Although the members of the Thorn Team are powerful, they are not strong enough to ignore the encirclement.

Moreover, in order to destroy Orochimaru this time, most of the people sent by Konoha, Sunagakure and Kumogakure were elite Jonin. She had the ability to ensure that she was not threatened, but she could not guarantee the safety of the remaining members of the Thorn Team.

Her fighting style is too rough. Once she uses her full strength, if her own people don't evacuate in time, they are likely to be involved in the battle with the enemy and suffer a devastating blow.

"yes."

The wood escape ninja named Zitong nodded. Judging from his voice, he was an adult male.

"Then, let's do it."

Ichiji took a deep breath, gathered chakra on her feet, and began to speed up, flashing out like a jet of black lightning.
