Konoha: This ninja is covered in liver

"oh?"

Bai Yu put down the manuscript in his hand, walked out of the library, followed the sound ninja to the vicinity of the arena, and saw Kabuto who had just returned from the Daming Palace of Tian no country.

The sound ninja who conveyed the message retreated.

The flame of the oil lamp in the passage is dim.

Kabuto, who was still in a state of excitement before, now looked a little anxious, with worry on his face, and kept pacing back and forth.

When Kabuto saw Bai Yu, before Bai Yu could speak, he walked up first and hurriedly replied:

"Bai Yu, I just received news from Lord Orochimaru. The situation is not optimistic. If possible, I would like to hire you directly to assist Lord Orochimaru in helping him escape from danger."

"Oh?" Bai Yu thought to himself, how could that guy Orochimaru be forced into this?

If so, business will come!

Kabuto calmed down, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "As long as you take action, everything including remuneration can be discussed."

"Kabuto, you know how to hire ninjas." Bai Yu crossed his arms over his chest, lowered his head and said calmly: "Usually, it's not cheap to hire a shadow from a ninja village to go on a mission!"

I agreed to help Kabuto before because it was mutually beneficial to both parties.

At the moment, Orochimaru's situation is obviously not optimistic, and there is no room for bargaining in the Sound Ninja Village.

"Master Orochimaru will discuss this matter with you personally." Kabuto looked anxious and urged: "If you are willing to accept this order, we will set off immediately. We will talk about the details on the road."

"I'm fine."

Bai Yu nodded.

"Okay, let's set off immediately!" Kabuto said, taking Bai Yu and running out through the nearest passage.

The two of them arrived outside the base in a flash.

On the way, I saw Sasuke being carried by Tayuya, and Tayuya briefly explained to Bai Yu.

Bai Yu didn't take it to heart, and after telling him to take good care of Zuosuke, he followed Kabuto away.

Tayuya breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that Bai Yu would be angry.

The four sound ninjas looked at the backs of Kabuto and Bai Yu hurriedly leaving, and stopped where they were.

It wasn't until the two of them disappeared at the exit that they continued walking towards the base.

"Tayuya, I have to say that you have really improved a lot in illusions after studying with that master for so long."

Kidomaru joked:

"Otherwise, let's change the bedroom and let me live with that adult?"

"Tayuya, aren't you just going to be a maid for that adult? I'll take care of you, so you can be a valet. There's no problem with that."

Sakon suddenly joined in the teasing.

Only Jirobo smiled honestly.

"You're laughing so hard, you fat man, don't even think about it." Tayuya shook her beautiful red hair, rolled her eyes at her companions, and said disdainfully: "If Mr. Bai Yu is willing to live with you, why did you choose me in the first place?

A room? So, stop dreaming!"

"Master Bai Yu has called me." Kidomaru smacked his lips, put his hands on the back of his head, and said with a smile: "Forget it, forget it, you are the only girl here, I won't argue with you!"

…

…

Outside the Oto Ninja Village base, in the not-so-wide forest, Bai Yu and Kabuto jumped on the branches, Kabuto put his hands behind his back, and his running posture was like a standard ninja running.

Bai Yu is in a normal posture.

The direction Kabuto was leading the way at this time was to the west of the Ninja Realm.

That is the direction of the Kingdom of Wind.

If the purpose of their trip was Sunagakure, then if they were to set out nearby, they would have to cross the Land of Fire. Otherwise, they would have to take a long detour, passing through the destroyed Taki Country and many other small countries.

"Bai Yu, the way you rush is very similar to Lord Orochimaru."

After Kabuto sighed, he solemnly said:

"I won't go into too much nonsense. Let's talk about the main point. Lord Orochimaru's specific location at this time is probably in the Kingdom of Rivers. It can be determined through credible intelligence that Lord Orochimaru is seriously injured at this time."

Hearing this, Bai Yu's heart tightened.

In the entire ninja world, the number of people who can injure Orochimaru can be counted on five fingers.

Even though Orochimaru's record is not that strong.

But this guy's defense is extremely thick, and even Tsunade with her strange power cannot guarantee that Orochimaru will be seriously injured.

so.

Orochimaru may have faced a very terrifying enemy.

In the Akatsuki organization at this time, the only one who could easily injure Orochimaru was Tendo Payne.

If you are a Scorpion, you may not be able to do this in a short period of time.

"Could it be Payne?" Bai Yu muttered to himself. As he spoke, he opened Kagura's mind, fearing that something uncontrollable would happen around him.

Until the scene with a radius of ten kilometers.

appeared in his mind in real time.

Bai Yu finally felt a little safer. At this time, facing Payne, even he could only find a way to avoid his sharp edge.

I just hope Orochimaru won't be so unlucky, and don't face Pain after avoiding Itachi who can kill him instantly in the original work.

The two of them were traveling very quickly.

The foot strength of a ninja, in a place like the forest, is not inferior to any means of transportation in the ninja world.

The two of them passed through the country of fields.

Enter the Fire Nation area.

The trees in the forest have also become dense and lush.

Bai Yu even clearly saw the path he took when he followed Yamato and took Ino Izumi on his first mission.

They also headed to the River Country this time, to the place where Kakashi Ban fought to rescue Gaara.

But this time the purpose is a bit abstract.

Bai Yu could never have imagined that one day he would rescue Orochimaru.

"If we drive at this speed, we should be able to reach the Kingdom of the River before dark."

Kabuto jumped from one big tree to another and analyzed it carefully.

Bai Yu followed closely. If it weren't for Dou leading the way, he could even go faster. Thinking about it, he curiously asked:

"After arriving in River Country, is there a way to contact Orochimaru?"

Hear this question.

Kabuto nodded and replied:

"The information from Lord Orochimaru came from the Sunagakure Village base. He clearly said that he would follow the route of River Country to try to get rid of the pursuers. When we arrive at River Country, we can just go directly to the base. Orochimaru

Maru-sama will go there."

"What will you do if I'm not here this time?" Bai Yu asked again.

If he is not here.

Orochimaru is being hunted by the Akatsuki organization. Once Pain takes action, Orochimaru, the early boss of Konoha, may no longer exist.

certainly.

It's impossible for Orochimaru to truly die with his methods.

Kabuto said in a deep voice:

"Even if you are not here, I will take Kimimaro to save Lord Orochimaru, even if everything we have worked hard to prepare for many years turns into ashes. After all, without Lord Orochimaru, Oto Ninja Village has no meaning for its existence."

"I know." Bai Yu sighed softly: "I hope things are not as bad as imagined."

Although Kabuto didn't know what the worst outcome would be, he could only pray for it.

The two of them drove non-stop for four hours.

Walk through the forest.

river.

valley.

Finally entering the realm of River Country, in the ninja world, the concept of border defense is actually very vague.

Thanks to the chakra possessed by ninjas, all complex terrain becomes extremely simple.

Even the most powerful Fire Nation will not set up defenses at the border, but will set up ninja sentries along the main roads.

Not to mention a small country like the River Country that is sandwiched between the Wind Country and the Fire Country.

The border is completely undefended.

Enter the intricate valleys of the River Country.

Kabuto took Bai Yu to head to Orochimaru's stronghold in this effect.

According to Kabuto's explanation, they have a stronghold in almost every country in the ninja world.

Even in a closed water country.

When Bai Yu asked Kabuto if they had a stronghold in the Kingdom of Tea, Kabuto was silent, and then replied that there had been before. After the Uchiha Ninja Village settled in, it was cleared.

Bai Yu naturally didn't believe it.

Wait until this problem is resolved.

He had to talk to Shisui, find all the strongholds of the major ninja organizations in the Tea Country, and mark them after they were found.

Of course, you can't just take them all at once. Keep them so that they can be used to play tricks on those ninja organizations that don't mean well when they release false news in the future.

At this time, the two passed through a valley again.

Enter a cave passage.

Bai Yu found that Orochimaru liked to walk on roads with this kind of terrain.

Didn't take a few steps.

The two of them looked at the collapsed cave in front of them and immediately stopped.

Bai Yu scanned the surroundings with Kagura's inner eye and found nothing unusual.

But the scene of the cave collapsing in front of us must have collapsed not long ago.

"There was a battle here." Kabuto took out the torch from the seal scroll in his arms, and after lighting it, he could clearly see the blood stains on the gravel.

"Let's take a detour. It's most likely the cave that was destroyed after Orochimaru was broken." Bai Yu sniffed the air in the cave. Unfortunately, he was not a ninja dog and couldn't smell anything useful.

"Well, go straight over this valley, and there is a town in front of you. Our stronghold is under that town." Kabuto said, and turned back.

The cave passage collapsed into pieces.

Except for some blood stains.

No fighting methods can be seen at all.

Bai Yu stopped searching for traces and followed Kabuto out of the cave, using chakra to absorb the steep mountain wall and climb up quickly.

The two of them spent half an hour without stopping for a moment, and finally arrived at the small town of River Country.

Along the way.

Bai Yu's Kagura mind still didn't detect anything abnormal.

Within a radius of ten kilometers moving around him, neither Orochimaru nor any member of the Akatsuki organization was seen.

This small town in the River Country is not prosperous, with only two or three scattered pedestrians on the streets.

The ground is wet.

It had just rained lightly in the Kingdom of Rivers. Bai Yu and Kabuto stepped on the bumpy road and came to a shop selling food.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw rice sacks piled up in sacks.

"..." Bai Yu stopped.

Kabuto noticed Bai Yu's strange expression and asked curiously: "Is there something wrong?"

"No." Bai Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about me, just keep walking!"

See rice in this case.

It's actually a bit unlucky.

Although Bai Yu is not superstitious either.

Kabuto nodded, and the two of them walked towards the inside of the store. When they saw the owner of the store, Kabuto went up to talk to him and got a letter from the boss. Kabuto immediately used a specific technique to open it and check it.

After reading the letter.

Kabuto's expression suddenly changed, and he said solemnly: "Those guys pushed too hard, and Lord Orochimaru was forced to return to Sunagakure. Judging from the information he left behind, it is most likely that he wanted to end things with those people in the desert."

"..." Bai Yu nodded and sighed: "Orochimaru actually didn't think about harming you. Okay, let's continue on our way!"

The two left this quiet town.

It was getting dark.

It was about six o'clock in the evening. After leaving the country of the river, the humid environment suddenly became dry, the woods and trees gradually decreased, and eventually the ground turned into a desert.

The two of them seemed to have entered another world as they crossed the last valley.

Because it was a cloudy day, there was no sunset.

The desert is vast and endless.

Hills rise and fall.

Even the temperature has become hotter.

Bai Yu looked at the black sky, sighed, and once again increased the scope of Kagura's eyes.

The range of ten kilometers that can be monitored by the mind has been expanded to fifty kilometers.

Just when Bai Yu thought nothing had happened, he suddenly observed an incredible battle scene on a hill 25 kilometers away at eight o'clock.

The next moment.

Bai Yu seemed to be being watched, and the scene of Kagura's inner eye being monitored was replaced by an endless cycle of reincarnation, and then a mental attack and oppression like a landslide and tsunami came.

Bai Yu immediately cut off Kagura's mind and stopped his perception. He knocked on his slightly painful head, took a deep breath and stopped.

"Is there something wrong?"

Kabuto looked at Bai Yu, who had a bad expression, and was startled. He quickly stopped and asked with concern.

"Hiss...the worst result has occurred."

Bai Yu adjusted his condition, looked directly in the direction where he sensed the strangeness, and muttered:

"Kabuto, things may be beyond my control. If you continue to move forward, there is a high probability that you will die here."

Kagura's inner eye just took a peek at that place, and the outline of the Samsara Eye was reflected in her spiritual world.

No need to guess, the person chasing Orochimaru must be Payne, whom Bai Yu least wants to face now!

Kabuto smiled sadly, shook his head and said:

"The meaning of my life now is given by Lord Orochimaru. If Lord Orochimaru dies, I will have no purpose in living. Bai Yu, I know how bad the situation is beyond your control. If you don't want to get involved,

If you come in, then go back, as for Tayuya and the others, you can watch and deal with it."

Bai Yu could hear despair and helplessness in Kabuto's words. People like Kabuto would probably tell the truth only at times like this.

If it were him a few months ago.

If you say leave, then leave.

After all, his purpose of finding Orochimaru was, firstly, to kill time, and secondly, to let him use him as a sandbag to improve his proficiency. At this time, he still had no shortage of sandbags in the ninja world, so there was no need to confront Pei in advance for Orochimaru.

kindness.

But now, Bai Yu has a reason to let Orochimaru live. If anyone in the entire ninja world is most likely to crack the side effects of the kaleidoscope, or even delay the side effects of the kaleidoscope, this person can only be Orochimaru.

Of course Bai Yu knew.

If Orochimaru is killed by Pain at this time, he can be resurrected later through the curse seal.

At the moment, if you can sell Orochimaru a favor, that would be a good choice, although someone like Orochimaru might not appreciate it.

When he has a goal, Bai Yu is not the first person to think about Gou when encountering difficulties.

Since there is no other way.

Meet Payne.

Then give it a try!

"Okay, follow me." Bai Yu looked solemn, and as soon as he finished speaking, before Kabuto could speak, he suddenly raised his breath without reservation.

The Mangekyō Sharingan opens.

Red awns bloom.

The Yin Escape chakra burned crazily outside the body, and Bai Yu directly entered the third stage of Xuzuo Nenghu.

boom--

Golden light bloomed, and Kabuto standing next to Bai Yu was enveloped by the huge chakra giant.

Suddenly.

Kabuto suddenly realized that he was actually high in the sky at this moment, and Bai Yu was in front of him. Looking down, he saw the huge and streamlined body of Sunao Nōhu that made people tremble.

"Stand still!"

Bai Yu, who was in the diamond-shaped energy gem above Xuzuo Nenghu's head, reminded him.

Xuzuo Nenghu summoned the double energy blades with both hands, and the energy wings spread out behind him, just like a god releasing his divine power after descending from the earth, flying forward at a speed close to the speed of sound.
