Ninja Ice House

The entangled vines, like a winding snake, entangled Orochimaru layer by layer and kept tightening, with the intention of binding Orochimaru and suffocating him. Other Anbu were also preparing to use sealing techniques to capture him.

It went so smoothly that even the leading Wooden Ninja felt a little unreal. The following development also confirmed that his worries were justified.

I saw Orochimaru, whose bones were almost broken, collapsed into a ball and turned into soil and fell. Then there was a burst of chakra, and several huge long snakes were channeled, breaking through the confinement of the wooden escape.

The powerful snake's tail swung past, breaking the surrounding trees and causing dust to fly.

Realizing something was wrong, the ANBU team hurriedly retreated, watching Orochimaru standing on top of the snake's head and watching the psychic snake in turn strangle the Konoha ninja.

"I left, not because I was afraid, but because I didn't want to cause trouble. Just a few of you dare to catch up. You are really brave. It seems that the Konoha ninjas have forgotten to respect their seniors just a few years since I left."

At this juncture, it is indeed a bit contemptuous to say such arrogant words, but Orochimaru has such confidence.

Except for the leader's Wooden Ninja, who performed somewhat decently, the others were completely unable to fight back. They were forced back by the giant snake covered in hard scales and could not pose any threat to Orochimaru himself.

A true master is one who forms an army and can single-handedly defeat the terrifying existence of a country. Orochimaru has reached this level very early. Currently, among the top experts known in the ninja world, there are not many who are more powerful than him.

As strong as the "Five Shadows", they may not be able to gain the upper hand in front of the "Sannin".

It was only now that the embarrassed Konoha ninjas realized how big the gap was between themselves and those being pursued.

Many years have passed since the Raikage Sandaime was beaten by tens of thousands of rock ninjas, fought to the death, and was killed until he was exhausted. The young juniors no longer realize that there are no masters of the same level who want to win.

How much "cannon fodder" does a master of Orochimaru's level need?

Looking at the defeated ANBU team, the captain who was once code-named "A" and known as "Tenzo" could not help but feel a little desperate in his tough heart.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the companions from behind who also wore animal masks, but whose temperament was obviously different from that of ANBU, and who were all cold and cold, caught up with them.

A piece of kunai tied with a detonating talisman flew and wounded the attacking giant snake, slightly reducing the pressure on the ANBU.

"Is it the "root" organization?"

Although I dislike these compatriots who are outside the Konoha ninja system, they are still comrades in the same camp. At this time, we must work together, otherwise, everyone will die here.

Different from the orderly ANBU, the ninjas of the "Root" organization are like a running machine. Each member is a precise part and acts according to the training program. There are almost no weaknesses and mistakes, and most of the seven emotions and six desires are eliminated.

.

Ninjas are known as mission machines without self. According to this standard, most ninjas are unqualified, but the Konoha ninjas of the "Root" organization are the closest.

Seeing the ninjas trained in the place where he once stayed, charging into battle without fear, the cold-blooded Tenzo couldn't help but be moved.

If they feel it is necessary to increase the success rate of completing the mission, these "root" organization ninjas will not hesitate to adopt suicide tactics of dying together, seeming to regard their own lives as a bargaining chip that can be discarded at any time.

Taking this opportunity, he called his subordinates together and reorganized their formation. Tenzo decided not to hold back any more. With an enemy like Orochimaru, all kinds of calculations were in vain. If you want to survive, you must go all out at all times.

"Wood Escape·The birth of the sea of ​​trees."

As the chakra surged, a wood escape forest rose from the ground.

Compared with the extremely powerful Wood Release and Tree Realm Advent, what Tianzang used was like a severely weakened simplified version. Not only did it have a much smaller range, but its power was also seriously insufficient.

Even so, the characteristic of Blood Succession Limit Wood Release itself to absorb chakra still exists.

It is undoubtedly a fantasy to rely on this secret technique of wood escape to defeat Orochimaru. However, the secret technique that Tenzou exerts with all his strength also plays a very important role. The biggest advantage is that it can play a detection and warning role to prevent various attacks.

A sneak attack.

In this wood escape forest, wherever the wood escape reacts by absorbing chakra, Tenzo can accurately determine the enemy's position and take measures early.

Just like now, Tenzo immediately discovered that Orochimaru, who was watching the battle above the head of the snake, was most likely just a clone, and his true body was hidden several meters deep underground.

Orochimaru, who was affected by the rolling wood beam, also realized that he was exposed, so his true form simply appeared.

"It's really powerful. No wonder that useless guy Danzo risked his life to get it. It's a pity that such a powerful blood successor has no power to fight back in front of the Sharingan."

The ambitious "Darkness of the Ninja World", before he could realize his path to hegemony, was defeated by Uchiha Fugaku, who had a death wish. Not only did he lose the Wood Release, but he also lost the Mangekyou Sharingan.

The Kusanagi sword, which was as sharp as clay, flew up and down in Orochimaru's hand, cutting off the attacking vines. Orochimaru, who fought and retreated, did not feel nervous about being surrounded at all.

After the two sides fought for a few minutes, three more teams of nearly twenty Konoha ninjas arrived, and the situation seemed to be getting more and more unfavorable to Orochimaru.

"That's almost it. You won't be able to send more people for a while, right?"

Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue and licked the corner of his mouth with a strange smile. Then he cut his finger with the sword blade, sprinkled the blood, drew a simple formation pattern, and then used the psychic technique.

A few seconds later, a coffin appeared.

"I just bought it not long ago, so I just want to test the effect."

As soon as he finished speaking, the coffin lid opened, and a man with yellow hair walked out, his eyes tightly closed.

Before both parties could react, Orochimaru took out the kunai with the charm tied on it and submerged it into his mind to strengthen his control.

"Who...is this?"

There were no special features on his body that revealed his identity. Few young people today remember this lifeless "humanoid monster" that came out of the coffin.

"Speaking of which, decades have passed and today's young people really don't remember the heroes they once were."

Wearing a green shirt underneath, a high-collar trench coat, and a black belt around the waist.

Judging from the way he is dressed, he is obviously arrogant, domineering, and ruthless. Such a temperament generally does not appear in ordinary people.

"Decades ago?"

A powerful person who can be regarded as a trump card by Orochimaru is definitely extraordinary, but if you say that a few decades ago, almost no one present was born, how could you possibly know?

The yellow-haired mysterious man seemed to have no consciousness. Under the control of Orochimaru, he used a psychic technique, and a huge monster came out of the sky. It looked like a ball of meat protected by two shells.

"Clam...so big?"

The large clam, which was obviously "excessive" in size, spit out a large piece of thick fog like an exhaust pipe. After a while, the area was surrounded by water vapor filled with chakra fluctuations.

Just when the Konoha ninjas were worrying about the reduced visibility, their vision suddenly became clear.

In an instant, the offense and defense changed positions.

At the bottom of the river not far away, a group of mermaids took advantage of the struggle between Konoha ninja and Orochimaru to escape.

Orochimaru, who had his hands free, checked for a few minutes and found nothing, so he had no choice but to leave with regret, leaving the second generation Mizukage, Kiden Genzuki and the Konoha ninja entangled.

"A bunch of idiots."

Gu Shanbu Shui, who secretly watched the battle, couldn't help but curse secretly.

The best way is to go all out, attack hard without retreating, and fight to the end. Orochimaru must not be given any chance to counterattack.

Mastering so many forbidden techniques, no ordinary ninja can resist any one of them.

Having a numerical advantage, but hoping for more reinforcements to assist, this conservative strategy is effective for ordinary masters. Orochimaru does not accept this method at all. If he cannot inflict heavy damage at the beginning of the encounter, there is no other way.

Fusugi Fusui also understood that both the ANBU and the "root" organization lacked the experience to fight against a master of Orochimaru's level and did not know how to deal with it. However, it was still a bit disappointing to let the enemy run away so easily.

.

"Fortunately, I didn't act recklessly. Within a hundred miles, the Third Hokage and Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't make a move, so I really can't do anything to him."

If possible, Konohagakure could mobilize and go all out to kill Orochimaru, but it was hard to say how much it would cost.

In such a situation, there is really no need to pursue him to the death. Commander Kosugi thinks he is in Hiruzen Sarutobi's position and would make the same choice. If he showed mercy a few years ago, he will not kill him a few years later.

hand.

To put it bluntly, everyone is an old acquaintance. The friendship forged in the same trenches for decades has made most Konoha ninjas still feel lucky, hoping that one day Orochimaru will change his mind and rekindle his "love".

The development on the original timeline also proved that this approach was indeed feasible. Both Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi were successfully "cleansed". Even Uchiha Obito, Nagato and other heinous villains had their names cleared before they died.

A sign of remorse.

After all, the ninja world is a world where extraordinary power exists. The superiority of bloodline determines the future to a large extent. Konoha Village has been established for more than fifty years. With the rise of civilian ninjas, the decline of the ninja clan is the general trend. However, the fate of the ninja village

The pillars are still a few major ninja clans and their disciples. "Going astray" is not a problem. As long as Orochimaru is still one of the "three ninjas" that people avoid, even if he has defected, he is still a "live" piece of Konoha Village.

"Signboard" will not change its essence just because of "temporarily leaving".

The world of ninja is very big, but the circle of ninjas is very small. There are not just one or two stories of people turning against each other for various reasons, and then inexplicably "changing their minds". What's more, for a talent like Orochimaru, the harm is not very great in the first place, and there is no need.

He pursues him relentlessly, as long as he doesn't cause trouble in the Fire Country, what's the point of him?

Expulsion was the order of the Third Hokage, and there was no hope that his subordinates would kill Orochimaru or capture him.

However, Konoha Village seems to have underestimated Orochimaru. In the few years since he defected, without the constraints of Konoha Village, his suppressed talents have been completely liberated. Orochimaru has gone further and further on the road of forbidden arts, and his strength has also increased, making him more dangerous.

The level is no longer that of the "lost Hokage" who only saved his life when the third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, saved his life.

Even the filthy earth body of the Mizukage Nidaime Kiden Genzuki, which was thrown away casually, could not be dealt with by nearly thirty elites of the Leaf Village.

Just as Fusugi Fusui expected, the secret technique of the second generation Mizukage, the earth body, and the psychic beast, the giant clam - Magic Steam Pavilion, made the Konoha ninjas spin in circles.

This water escape illusion technique is not just about the water vapor distorting the light to create hallucinations. The chakra mixed in it can also subtly distort the perception of the trapped ninja.

Disaster.

Being able to do this is not only because of the power of Ghost Lantern Huanyue itself, but also because of the extraordinary talent of the psychic beast Big Clam. Originally, clams, a shelled mollusk, rely on filtering microorganisms, worms, fish eggs, etc. in seawater to produce

Food.

The animal ecology of the ninja world must also abide by basic principles, because the existence of extraordinary power such as chakra allows some mutant creatures to grow extremely large.

As the size increases, the food intake naturally increases. Clams have poor mobility, such as the giant clam, which relies on filter feeding some small bugs, plankton and fish eggs.

to be starved to death.

Therefore, this unconventional big guy also began to prey on some fish and molluscs that are larger and have more meat. With the characteristics of clams, they have neither fangs nor sharp teeth, and their own toxicity is close to zero.

Not to mention actively hunting, you will be lucky if you are not eaten by other predators.

Such a big clam is also a delicious meal for many creatures.

It is impossible for giant clams to successfully grow to such a big size without some special skills.

The magic trick "Steaming Pavilion" is its trump card. Not only can it cause misjudgment by natural enemies and prevent it from harming the giant clam's body, it can also confuse the prey, trap it, and paralyze its ability to resist. Only in this way can the giant clam act like this

Only in this way can you swallow the delicious food without any ability to resist.

Relying on this extraordinary ability that evolved unexpectedly, giant clams not only live more and more nourishing lives, but can even confuse terrestrial animals and become their delicious meals. Especially humans who are born with high intelligence are more likely to be fooled in this aspect.

trick.

Yes, this thing eats people. Gu Shan Bu Shui has heard of such legends before, such as the bewitching siren song, the empty ghost ship, the undersea man-eating giant, etc. A large part of it is

was attacked by such creatures.

After subduing the mermaid clan, Gu Shanbu Shui realized that although there were few of them, they were definitely not just one or two. Murlocs rarely acted alone because they were afraid of encountering similar dangerous mutated creatures.

After confirming again and again that Orochimaru really had no intention of getting entangled with the Konoha ninjas, and having already gone far away, Fusugi Bosui called on a few capable subordinates and hurried towards the place where the accident occurred. To face Orochimaru face to face, Fusugi Fusui did not have the courage, but

, it is quite courageous to fight against the dirty body of a mere Mizukage and brush up the favorability of the Konoha ninja.
