dog in ninja world

Although it is still in the planning and construction stage, Oto Ninja Village is still a large-scale military garrison built according to the standards of Ninja Village. The area is not small. It is not easy to find the place where Orochimaru stores information.

so easy.

In addition to the rows of houses below, there are more than a dozen caves of different depths on the mountain walls on both sides, and there are barriers outside the caves, so that even the most insightful Byakugan cannot

It can be seen through smoothly, so if you want to find something, you still have to check each one in person.

If you are lucky, maybe the first one you find is the target. If you are not lucky, it will take a while.

With so many caves, even if you find them one by one, it will take at least several hours of effort. This does not include the effort of how to deal with the guards without alerting other people if you encounter tighter guards.

, Fortunately, several of them are experienced ninjas, and their patience is enough. Not only are they superb in strength, but they are also quite good at reconnaissance. Especially Jiraiya, who wanders around the ninja world alone, if not for his extraordinary means.

Otherwise, he would have died outside long ago.

Jiraiya has considerable experience in such technical tasks as infiltrating and searching for intelligence. Therefore, after careful analysis, several people placed their first target in the cave diagonally above their heads.

.

Firstly, the cave was the closest to them and the moving distance was short, so it would not attract much attention. Secondly, that cave happened to be one of the most heavily guarded cave entrances in the valley.

Generally speaking, aren't the most heavily guarded places most likely to be important places?

After quickly making a plan, the four of them hurriedly took action, disguised themselves as wandering ninjas, and walked all the way up the mountain along the side path without attracting the attention of outsiders.

"stop."

As expected, the cave on the mountain was indeed a forbidden area for ordinary people. They had just walked up a few steps and before they even got close, the people above noticed them immediately.

"Don't you know this is a forbidden area?"

There are also wandering ninjas guarding the entrance of the cave. There are three people in total. However, compared with the ninjas below, the ninjas above are obviously different. First of all, they are not of the same grade. The armor is more high-end, and they carry similar ninja tools or scrolls.

The style of equipment is also more complete.

And in terms of strength, judging from their behaviors such as walking, sitting, and lying down, most of the ninjas patrolling below should only be of average genin level, while the ninjas above would have no problem becoming ordinary chuunin in other villages.

This can be judged from the rich experience of Jiraiya and others.

When did Orochimaru get such a group of people?

Jiraiya saw this and thought to himself.

Chuunin level combat power, placed in a large ninja village, is nothing to jonins like Jiraiya and Kakashi. If they are willing, they can kill each other instantly.

However, in the wandering ninja group, chunin is not a simple concept.

Wandering ninjas are not particularly rare in the ninja world. Although there are many in number, their strength is also uneven. Don't look at the clouds of masters in Akatsuki, who seem to be able to compete with several major countries. Those are just individual factors.

Only the S-class rebellious ninjas in the entire ninja world must gather together to achieve such combat effectiveness.

In fact, the real large group of wandering ninjas is actually mostly miscellaneous fish.

Among the entire hierarchy of wandering ninjas, most of the top ones are rebellious ninjas who were born in the Great Ninja Village. They can defect from their original villages and avoid being hunted by the village. Without a certain degree of combat effectiveness, it will definitely not work, so

These people are naturally the elite among wandering ninjas.

Of course, there are only a few real elites. After all, even in a large ninja village, Jonin is still at the top of the elite. There are not many of them. Naturally, they cannot all be traitorous ninjas. In addition, even if a traitorous ninja defectes,

Leaving the village is also the target of invitations from other forces. Most of them have joined other forces for safety and future development. There are only a few who can still wander in the ninja world.

Therefore, there are actually not many wandering ninjas at the Jonin level. Most of them are genin and chunin. Among them, genin is the most common, accounting for about 60%, chunin accounts for about 9%, and jounin only 1% or more.

Low, of course, there are some, those who are not even as good as genin, those who just casually learned a few rubbish ninjutsu from nowhere and think they are great, accounting for about 30% of the number.

This is the hierarchical structure of wandering ninjas in the ninja world.

Judging from the above points, Chuunin-level combat capabilities are actually considered masters among wandering ninja groups. Outside of the Ninja Village, in many places, Chuunin can be used to brag. My eldest brother used to be xx

The chuunin of the village is a powerful legendary dark ninja, the character of "ninja" that everyone is afraid of.

Therefore, Chuunin, who is relatively common in the five major countries, is a very rare master for people in other places.

Jiraiya was also surprised by this. Although he had not carefully inspected or fought against each other, judging from basic behaviors and other aspects, half of the approximately thirty ninjas and samurai that could be seen in this valley were at least chunin.

level, except for a few people who were clearly dressed as samurai, there were dozens of guards at chuunin level and above.

Orochimaru, where did he get so many people?

Jiraiya secretly wondered in his heart.

As far as he knew, Orochimaru broke away from the Akatsuki organization only half a year ago. While he was wanted by Konoha and several major countries, he was also hunted by the Akatsuki organization. In the eyes of several parties, in just a few months, he

There should be no chance of gathering so many manpower and resources.

Unless, during the Akatsuki organization, Orochimaru was already quietly preparing for what was to come.

Perhaps, Orochimaru has already started planning various matters in the Sound Ninja Village in the Akatsuki Organization, or perhaps, in Orochimaru's mind, the Akatsuki Organization is just a way for him to obtain resources and manpower and avoid being captured by the Leaf Village.

.

It suits your style very well, Orochimaru.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya smiled coldly in his heart. When he was in Konoha Village, Orochimaru behaved in a mysterious and scheming way. He always found a way out for himself, otherwise he would not have defected.

I can still take away so many forbidden books and secrets.

These thoughts circulated in Jiraiya's mind, and they only lasted for a second. In reality, he still maintained that frightened look, showing a horrified expression when facing the questioning guards.

"I'm sorry... I didn't know... is this a forbidden area?"

Jiraiya lowered his head repeatedly, scratched the back of his head, and hesitated, showing a look of confusion and surprise. As a man with more than ten years of intelligence career, it was not difficult at all for him to pretend to be various people.

"I'm really sorry. I'm new here. I don't know the situation. I thought..."

He apologized quickly, and while nodding, he moved his body carefully, using his broad shoulders to partially block the people behind him, and with a smile on his face, pretending that a few people were really unfortunate enough to go the wrong way.

"Then get out of here!"

The guarding ninja scolded with disgust, waving his hands to drive Jiraiya and others away, but as soon as he raised his hand, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

This place has been developed for more than half a month, and no new people have joined recently. How could someone not even know about the forbidden area?

"etc."

Thinking of this, he suddenly became wary.

"You guys..."

Several guards looked solemn, and touched the handle of the knife at their waists with their right hands. Just as they were about to take action, they saw a long and narrow shadow suddenly flash under their feet. Before any real movement could be made, their bodies were no longer in control.

Their mouths were half open, but their bodies seemed to have suddenly stopped, frozen in place, motionless, as stiff as three lifeless puppets.

Under their feet, several black shadows extended from the soles of their feet, eventually converging into the shadow of Nara Makaku.

"Well done, Zhenjiao."

Jiraiya put away his smile and praised lightly.

The only person who can silently control three people at the same time without making any noise or being alerted by others is Nara Shinkaku, who was born in the Nara clan.

The Shadow Imitation Technique is a secret technique of the Konoha Nara clan. Although its attack power and destructiveness are not great, and it is not as good as other escape techniques, it is extremely effective in control and infiltration. It is not only extremely fast.

, and silently, completely controlling the bodies of several people in the blink of an eye, and preventing them from showing any strange and alarming behaviors. Even if outsiders saw it, they would not arouse suspicion.

In this situation, even if someone accidentally saw it, they would just think it was a few people having a conversation.

Moreover, not only the limbs and torso, the shadow of Nara Makaku even controlled all the bones and muscles of the controlled person, sealing their mouths tightly, so that they could not even make a sound.

At this moment, these ninjas guarding the cave are like puppets in the hands of a puppet master, becoming puppets that can only be manipulated by others.

"Watch them."

Jiraiya looked at the three ninjas with frightened eyes, but did not give any orders to kill. Although these people worked for Orochimaru, they had not done anything obvious bad so far, although there were

It was an act of aiding the tyrants, but the crime did not lead to death, so Jiraiya did not kill them, but just ordered Nara Shinkaku to control these people.

Next, let Nara Makaku control a few people and control them with shadows at the entrance of the cave, pretending to continue guarding and patrolling, while Jiraiya took Kakashi and Hinata Hikari into the cave to search.

However, the results of the search were not smooth.

The first cave was a warehouse for storing supplies. There was nothing in it except some living materials. They quickly returned and asked Nara Makoto to create a shadow clone to continue to control the rebel ninja and the remaining four people.

The main body then heads to another cave not far away.

With the experience of the first cave, the remaining caves have become easier. I just attract attention casually and then take away the shadow imitation technique in a wave. It is easy and smooth, and basically there is no obstacle.

However, it was a pity that two more caves were searched in succession. Neither of them was the data room they were looking for. One was just an ordinary conference room, and although the other looked like a laboratory, the equipment and facilities were all new.

, but did not start using it.

Orochimaru, this kid, shouldn't he have not had time to transfer all his things?

After failing to find the target he wanted three times in a row, Jiraiya suddenly had some doubts. Since the Sound Ninja Village was still under construction, Orochimaru might not have completely regarded this place as his home base, so many things were not there yet.

Move here?

This possibility is not impossible. If the Sound Ninja Village has not been used yet, then Orochimaru is very likely to hide his laboratory in other places.

But if they do this, they will run away in vain, and they have already taken action before and captured several prisoners. If they leave like this, it is impossible not to alert Orochimaru. If he finds something, given his character

, I won’t be sure if I want to find something next time.

With such suspicion, the three people (who were on guard at the entrance of Nara Makoto) entered the fourth cave again.

This time, just after going more than ten meters deep, Jiraiya suddenly felt that they had found the right place this time.

Because the situation of this cave is completely different from other caves. Other caves are very short, ending in tens of meters at most. However, although the entrance of this cave looks the same as other caves, the internal structure is different.

It's a huge difference. Just in terms of length, the length inside is at least a hundred meters long, and the passage is so winding that you can't see the end at a glance.

Moreover, as we go deeper and deeper, the width of the cave becomes wider and wider. After walking for a few minutes, snake-like stone reliefs gradually begin to appear on the walls on both sides. They are like countless real snakes.

Generally speaking, crawling crookedly on both sides of the wall will give you a chilling feeling.

"It looks like we found the right one."

Jiraiya looked at the reliefs on both sides, touched them lightly with his hands, felt the cold touch, and said softly.

The snake-shaped relief is Orochimaru's style.

Since there is such an obviously representative thing, it means that the character who may appear in it is likely to be the target of their trip - Orochimaru!

"Everyone, be careful."

He reminded softly, telling Kakashi and Hinata to be more vigilant. Orochimaru was no better than others. He was not inferior to himself in terms of combat experience and strength, and he had also learned many dangerous forbidden techniques. If he was not careful, even if he

You may also encounter unexpected events.

Kakashi and Hinata nodded slightly, without Jiraiya's instructions. Ever since they discovered the reliefs on both sides, they became vigilant. Kakashi had already opened his forehead protector, revealing the Sharingan hidden underneath, while Hinata

Guang's white eyes have also been opened a long time ago, but unfortunately the surrounding barrier is too complicated, so he can only see a small area.

The three people looked at each other, paying attention to their surroundings, and continued walking along the passage. However, they did not realize that behind them, in the corner of the densely packed snake-shaped relief wall, there was such a winding and rugged snake.

The little snake suddenly opened its eyes.

Two pairs of ferocious snake eyes as big as mung beans, fiery red, lit up in the layered reliefs, blinking and blinking in this cold cave, exuding an unusually weird aura.

At this moment, Jiraiya and others were still walking forward in the passage. The further they walked, the light from the direction of the cave entrance became darker. Even with the torches on both sides, the field of vision gradually became narrower.

This situation is actually very unsafe. I am walking in an unknown and potentially dangerous cave. Once discovered by the enemy, I will be in the open and the enemy is in the dark. Then my next behavior will be very passive, but Zilai

There is nothing the others can do, because the purpose of their trip is to deal with Orochimaru, so no matter what the situation is, they must continue to go deep.

The three of them continued to walk forward. The passage became curved in front, revealing several forks. Just in case, they did not move separately. Instead, they chose the fork that seemed to be the widest. When they turned this corner, they saw a fork in front of them.

There is a long tunnel with several closed iron doors at the top. Judging from the heavy door leaves and the enchantment spells attached to the walls, the things inside the door are definitely extraordinary.

"The lab ahead of that guy Orochimaru should be..."

Jiraiya thought in his mind, and the next moment, his expression changed, his eyes suddenly turned, and he quickly looked behind him.

At the same time, I heard Hinata Hikaru shouting: "There is someone!"

At this moment, a mysterious figure appeared within the detection range of his white eyes.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Before he finished speaking, there was only a rustling sound of wind, and something seemed to shoot out from the darkness, heading towards the three of them.

Ninja Hidden Shadow Snake Hand

In the darkness, dozens of pairs of red eyes glowed strangely, rushing towards their faces at extremely fast speeds.

Ninja Technique Needle Jizo

At this critical moment, Jiraiya clasped his hands together and moved instantly in front of Kakashi and Hinata. He released the transformation technique and returned to his original form. At the same time, behind him, his long white hair was as fast as if it were alive.

It grew, circled in front of him, and turned into a thorny wall with white steel needles, appearing in front of the three people.

Puff puff……

Along with the sound of flesh and blood being penetrated, blood splashed everywhere, and the black shadow hit the white wall, blooming into a dazzling blood flower. Some were still hanging on it, and some were directly broken at the waist and fell.

On the ground, it turned out to be sections of small snakes that were not completely dead.

Blood with a fishy smell gradually dripped from the white wall, dripping, ticking, and making dense red dots on the ground.

"Hehehe..."

At this time, a thin, creepy sneer came from the darkness in the distance.

"It's such a nostalgic face. Who did I think it was...it turned out to be you, Jiraiya..."

Thump... thump... thump... thump...

Accompanied by a crisp sound of footsteps, a figure was slowly approaching from the depths of the dark cave.

Whoosh!

Jiraiya turned his head slightly and tossed the snake corpse in his hair aside, then put away his hair and turned his head, an extremely complicated look flashed in his eyes.

"This is exactly what I want to say, long time no see..."

He looked at the figure in the distance, his eyes darkened, and he spoke clearly.

"Orochimaru!"
