Naruto Shura Road

."Everything is ready, Lord Orochimaru."

It has entered late at night in Konoha Village. In the courtyard of Orochimaru's residence, a group of Konoha ninjas are ready to go. Their whole bodies are bathed in the moonlight, which looks quite strange. One of them steps out and faces the person facing away.

They bowed to their Orochimaru.

"Yes, I understand, but Iwatake-kun, what do you think of Konoha?"

Orochimaru turned around. He was now wearing a standard Konoha ninja uniform instead of the usual kimono.

"Your father once sacrificed his life for Konoha. I want to hear what you think now?"

He looked at the subordinates in front of him with a smile, as if he had no idea what he was going to do next.

"That is a thing of the past. I have nothing to remember about this organization."

The man named Iwatake showed an indifferent expression.

"My father was your subordinate before he died, and so am I today. That's all. The time has come for you to leave."

There was indifference in his eyes, as if everything was just business.

"You've been planning this for so long, just for today. I don't think there's anything to hesitate about."

"Oh my, do you think I'm hesitating?"

Orochimaru seemed very surprised,

"Do I feel like I miss old things so much?"

"Then what are you waiting for? You even put on a Konoha ninja costume, or who are you waiting for?"

Iwatake doesn't seem to know what it means to understand the intentions of his superiors.

"That disciple of yours? Companion? Or... teacher?"

Before he finished speaking, everyone felt that the air around them seemed to have become colder.

"You have murderous intentions, which means I was right, doesn't it?"

Iwatake bowed lightly,

"Then Orochimaru-sama, please tell me how much time it will take."

"Don't make unnecessary guesses, Iwatake."

After calming down the killing intent that arose at that moment, Orochimaru glanced at Iwatake,

"I put on the combat uniform because there are still a few people in this village who can fight with me. You guys set off first and everything goes according to plan. If you set out with me, you won't survive. If they fight against me, they won't survive."

It's easy to say, how many moves can you take against you?"

"Understood, then let's arrange the route to the north in advance."

Iwatake bowed his head and no longer dwelled on this issue.

Orochimaru was right. There are still several masters at the same level as Orochimaru in Konoha Village today. Since the war is over, they all stay in the village.

Regardless of whether it is the golden flash, or Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, or even the current third generation Hokage, it is easy to kill them...

"Walk!"

He turned around and waved his hand, and immediately led the group of people to jump up and down, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"He is really a frank subordinate. He has the same temperament as his father."

Watching Iwatake leave, Orochimaru shook his head. Of course he meant that killing intention just now, otherwise it would be easy to let this guy continue talking...

"Should I say that they are indeed father and son...Forget it, let's go see my disciple."

He smiled a little, walked into the house, and walked slowly around the mansion like a normal person.

Not long after, he had already walked to the door of a room, and the painful sobbing of a girl could be faintly heard from inside...

"Squeak..."

He opened the door and walked in.

"Lord Orochimaru."

Several ninjas in the house turned around and saluted Orochimaru.

"How is the child doing?"

Orochimaru asked casually, while his eyes were fixed on the girl lying on the floor.

"It seems to have failed, but it did leave a life behind."

"Orochimaru...teacher..."

The girl on the floor seemed to wake up a little because she heard Orochimaru's voice. She struggled to raise her head and see clearly.

"teacher……"

The girl's sobbing voice sounded very sad.

"Why……"

"Oh...did you still fail?"

Facing the girl's cry, Orochimaru looked very indifferent. He just looked at the girl indifferently, as if she was a stranger.

"You disappoint me so much, Hongdou. It seems you are not worthy of being taken away by me."

The cold words once again deeply hurt the girl's heart. If she could, she really wished she was dreaming.

But the pain on her shoulder that almost penetrated into her soul told her that this was reality...

But she didn't understand why the kind teacher in the past suddenly became so strange.

"Lord Orochimaru, do you want to kill her?"

The ninja on the side asked Orochimaru,

"If you leave her here, she will probably be discovered."

"Need not……"

Orochimaru knelt down, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked Anko's cheek as usual.

Feeling Orochimaru's movements as usual, Anko felt creepy at this moment, and her body even froze.

At this moment, Orochimaru's palm seemed to pause for a very brief moment. As a direct contact, Anko was aware of this, but she believed that this should be an hallucination caused by severe pain. So far, this kind of hallucination

It can't save the scars in her heart...

"Leave her here."

Orochimaru retracted his hand and stood up,

"This is a reward for her survival. A little girl can't ruin my action plan."

His indifferent face showed a smile again, just like he usually faced his subordinates. This familiar expression let the ninjas present know that Orochimaru had made a decision and they didn't need to say anything more.

Originally, it was not their turn to intervene in matters between master and apprentice, but they were still eager to do so.

"Let's go."

After taking one last look at Anko, Orochimaru walked out, followed by the other ninjas, and soon they all left. Anko was the only one left in the relatively empty room.

"Orochimaru...teacher..."

It hurts! It hurts!

It's not her body that's hurting, but her heart. At this moment, Hongdou is crying loudly as if she wants to drain her tears for a lifetime, mixed with her angry roar,

"If you don't kill me today, you will definitely regret it!"

"Lord Orochimaru..."

The ninjas who had just walked out of the door felt the resentment from the depths of Anko's soul, and they couldn't help but stop.

"It doesn't matter, let's go."

Orochimaru didn't even turn his head. Although the ninjas present couldn't see his expression, they could hear that his tone was very calm.

"There's nothing to worry about, she's just a failure."
