It's been less than two weeks since Shuichi Makomi left Konoha Village, and since that day, Oni Raven has abandoned the bird's nest he had built before and looked for a new target in the forest where he is now.

By this time the moon had climbed up the treetops, and its bright light gilded the earth with a layer of silver. The forest at night is extremely quiet.

The ghost crow rested on the branch of a large tree, its head tilted, and its keen sense of smell smelled the smell of blood wafting through the forest.

As a ghost, it can be said that it is extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, and this time it smells not the blood of wild animals, but the blood of humans.

Whoever it is, it's not a good thing to be injured in the forest at night.

The ghost crow flapped its wings and flew low through the forest at controlled speed, tracking down the source of the smell of blood. If it flies too high, it won't be able to smell this faint smell of blood.

"Huh...... Heh......"

Orochimaru's breath was disordered at this time, panting heavily, limping through the forest. He was covered in blood, all wounds from a close-range explosion.

"Uhhh

Even though he was one of the three ninjas, being injured by the detonation charm at close range in an unsuspecting situation almost cost him half his life.

He really didn't expect that his teacher, Ape Fei Ri, would leave this hand, and he made a mistake.

"Gah!!"

At this time, the big bird hovering in the sky let out an ugly call, which made Orochimaru frown, and secretly said that he was unlucky.

Orochimaru didn't have the same eyesight as a white eye, and with the darkness of the night, he didn't notice anything wrong with the bird in the sky for a while.

Maybe it's a big bird in the wild, or maybe it's one of the ninjas chasing him.

He knew that the bird's call would most likely attract the ninjas of the Shadows, revealing his current location.

It's just that he's seriously injured now, and he can't be fast.

Seeing

the faces of the people below, the ghost crow was slightly surprised.

Before that, he had friendly exchanges with the ghosts who used to be ninjas, especially Momiji, and told him a lot of information about Konoha ninjas in a rare way.

Among them is Orochimaru, one of the famous three ninjas.

It knew very well that Orochimaru's strength was not something it could challenge now, but when it saw Orochimaru who was seriously injured, it still couldn't hold back the impulse in its heart.

Although the other party is Orochimaru, but now that he is seriously injured, it is difficult to say whether he can exert three or four percent of his strength.

What if?

Momiji once said that the Oni King might have a soft spot for these powerful ninjas. If he can bring the Great Snake Pill to the Ghost King, will it be considered a meritorious service?

Although the Ghost Crow's mind is a little impulsive, it has always maintained that caution.

Hide in the shadows and let the crows scout around.

Soon, a group of ninjas who were following closely behind Orochimaru were spotted. Those ninjas were different from ordinary ninjas in that they were uniformly dressed and wore white masks on their faces, so they couldn't see their faces.

Some of them were running in the woods, some were on the paths in the woods, and some were plunging headlong into the water, all searching for something.

It seems that it was a Konoha ninja who had come to hunt down Orochimaru

? What a strange thing, wasn't Orochimaru a ninja of Konoha? Why did Konoha's ninja chase him? One of the

two parties must have been a betrayer.

These Konoha ninjas who suddenly appeared could be regarded as dispelling the idea of the ghost crow attacking Orochimaru, and there was no chance to make a move, so it could only watch Orochimaru from a distance in the sky.

If Orochimaru can be seriously injured and incapacitated, then it will not be too late for him to attack Orochimaru under the pressure of the ninja behind him.

Human ninjas have this disadvantage, no matter how strong they are, their bodies are still fragile.

This look is a night.

Keeping track of Orochimaru until the sun gradually rises in the east, the Oni Crow has no chance to attack Orochimaru.

In desperation, it could only plunge headlong into the dark chasm, hiding from the sun.

Unexpectedly, under this crack, which seemed to be difficult for even one person to pass, there was a very large space, and the walls on both sides were crawling with the roots of trees.

Even if the ghost crow spreads its wings, it doesn't feel crowded here.

"What a great place. "

It even gave rise to the idea of wanting to settle here.

It's just that the crack is too big, and if the sunlight is strong, it can completely illuminate the space.

It didn't take long for the crow to find a narrow passage at the bottom of the space, perhaps only large enough for a petite child to pass through.

This passage leads to a deeper place, where it is darker.

This is good news for the ghost crows.

Looking up at the sunlight gradually pouring in through the crack, the ghost crow rushed into the passage without hesitation.

The other end of the passage was dark enough that sunlight could not penetrate at all.

It's just that the top is too short, and with the size of a ghost crow, if you want to fly here, you not only have to control your speed, but you also have to play a full twelve points of spirit.

Otherwise, you might hit your head against the wall.

The ghost crow instantly turned into a free-rooster, and could only move his body step by step to a corner.

Soon after.

The pitch-black body of the ghost crow hid in the darkness, closing its eyes to recuperate, but the sound of approaching footsteps disturbed it.

"Here?" said

a teenager.

"You see there are a lot of tree roots wrapped around the roof and the walls, and there is such a hole inside, it's like a labyrinth. The

voice of another girl was getting closer and closer to it with the sound of footsteps.

The ghost crow in the shadows watched silently as a little girl led another boy dressed like a ninja past the front to the passage it had passed through before.

The other party didn't notice that there was still a pair of eyes staring at them in the dark.

"It's going to be narrower ahead, but it's not a big problem for the time being. The

girl grabbed the wall full of roots with both hands and looked into the passage.

"Where are we going?"

"My secret base with Tenzo." After the

two finished speaking, they climbed into the passage one after the other, and their voices grew farther and farther away.

Could it be that humans live under such a lightless underground

? Could it be that there are humans who are afraid of light?

The ghost crow scratched its head with its wings, only feeling that the surprise brought to him here was a little more, and it jumped in the direction where the girl came.

If you go in the opposite direction, you'll find more living people.

Outside the pitch-black cave, Kakashi Hagi, who came to pursue Orochimaru with the other Konoha shadows, stepped into this dark place by mistake.

Following the candlelight to the deepest part, except for the impermeable rock wall, it was still an impermeable rock wall, and there was not even half a human figure.

"What is this place?"

Kakashi looked around, seeing that there was something strange about it. Whether it's the candlelight burning on the ground or the tree trunk that looks like a passage in the corner, it proves that there were people here.

At first glance, this arrangement is simply a secret base.

Could it be that he really won the lottery?

He was overjoyed in his heart, and as he walked forward, he sighed in his heart about his luck.

However, he rejoiced too soon, and within a minute, a thick white mist rose from under his feet and gradually surrounded him.
