Konoha: This ninja is suspicious by nature

Chapter 51 Orochimaru Appears

Huge tangled tree roots cover a large area of ​​the forest, and the extremely thick tree trunks are like roads in the sky, allowing you to walk at will.

The dense foliage blocks the sun's rays, making it feel gloomy.

The three of them had just set off and had not yet encountered an enemy. Facing the harsh environment, the optimistic Naruto did not think too much, but Sasuke was always uneasy.

"I want to pee!"

Naruto immediately turned around and ran under the tree to solve it on the spot.

"Naruto! What are you doing stupidly in front of a lady!"

Sakura was so angry that she shook her fist and gave him a harsh lesson.

Helpless, Naruto ran dejectedly into the depths of the woods, looking for a hidden place where there was no one around.

Naruto was pouring water wantonly, humming and chirping.

Suddenly, a strong wind swept through him. Naruto hurriedly pulled up his pants, but just as he was about to turn around, he was overturned by the storm.

A giant python came with the wind, spitting out a letter from its mouth, and its snake eyes were bigger than Naruto's head.

When he got up and saw clearly the shape of the giant python, he was swallowed into his belly before he had time to digest his fear.

"Naruto, why did he go so long? He won't be lost, right?"

Sakura got a little impatient with waiting, so she simply sat on the grass to rest.

"I am back!"

Naruto's figure ran out from the depths of the woods.

Sasuke frowned, looked carefully, and immediately pulled out a kunai and shot it at Naruto with a "whoosh" sound.

Naruto opened his eyes wide and fell to the ground to avoid it.

"Sasuke, why?"

Sakura was confused for a moment and looked back and forth between them.

"He's not Naruto, Naruto couldn't dodge my blow just now." Sasuke sneered, "And Naruto was injured on the left cheek, but he turned into the right cheek."

"Counterfeit!"

Sasuke immediately took out Kunou to stand in front of Sakura, confronting the fake Naruto.

"Hehe, good observation ability."

The fake Naruto stuck out his tongue and licked his chin, and there was a "pop" sound as light smoke rose up, revealing his true appearance, which was the long-tongued Grass Ninja Village ninja from before.

He took out the Earth Scroll, shook it in front of the two of them, then raised his head and opened his mouth wide, pressed the scroll into his throat and swallowed it.

Sakura felt deeply cold, but Sasuke looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy. The other party's behavior showed that this must be a life and death battle.

"The battle for the scroll has begun."

The grass ninja made a voice like a middle-aged woman, but she was dressed as a man, looking mysterious and weird.

He stared at Sasuke, raised his left hand and rolled his eyelids, revealing slender eyes like poisonous snakes. The golden vertical pupils seemed to contain a bottomless danger, as daunting as an abyss.

In an instant, the world here is full of murderous aura, the vegetation seems to be withered, and the poisonous insects and beasts have no sound.

Sasuke and Sakura were stunned, their whole bodies motionless but trembling.

Compared with the fear when he first encountered Zabuzhan, the fear at this moment is more like instinct, like the fear engraved in the bones of species crushing bloodline suppression.

escape!There was only one voice in Sasuke's head at this time.

"Hehehe, is that all?"

The grass ninja shot two kunai with half interest.

"Move!"

Sasuke was in excruciating pain, his body refused to obey his orders, and his physical fear had overwhelmed his spiritual call.

Seeing that the kunai was about to hit them, Sasuke forced out his kunai and plunged it into his thigh, trying to use the pain in his body to suppress his physical fear.There was a surge of blood, and the two kunai fell into the air. Sasuke picked up Sakura, quickly jumped onto the jungle tree trunk, and disappeared.

"You can still have some fun."

The grass ninja stretched out his long, moist tongue and licked the smell of blood in the air.

Behind the tree trunk, Sasuke, who was temporarily hiding his body, was sweating and taking deep breaths. The pain from the wound could not stop his body from trembling.

"What's wrong with you Sasuke?"

Sakura asked softly. Although she was also scared, she didn't seem to lose her soul like Sasuke.

She was extremely worried at this moment. She had never seen Sasuke so helpless like now. It would be great if Naruto was here.

At this time, Naruto was swallowed by the giant python, and the acid in his belly was melting his body. He felt his skin itching a little bit, and it seemed that he would turn into slag soon.

Recalling that this journey has been so difficult, how could he die of such frustration? Naruto cheered up and formed seals with his hands.

I saw the giant python's body expanding rapidly, as if it was about to explode. "Bang!" A huge sound shook the valley, countless Naruto clones burst out of their stomachs, and the giant python burst.

"Sakura, the opponent's strength is not at our level to fight against."

Sasuke's words trembled slightly, and he didn't even notice that a big snake was approaching behind him for a while.

Seeing the big snake opening its huge mouth, trying to swallow the two of them, suddenly several shurikens flew out and shot at it.

Seeing this, the big snake retreated, and then the skin on its back cracked, and the grass ninja emerged from the snake's back, only half of its body exposed.

Sasuke and Sakura reacted and looked up to find that Naruto was already standing on the thick tree trunk high up, and it was he who shot the shuriken.

Naruto, who was covered in transparent mucus and exuded a rotten smell, could no longer care about his own image. He shouted:
"You're a snake-loving guy, let me meet you."

"No! Naruto! We are no match at all!"

Sasuke was emotional and shouted towards Naruto with red eyes.Then he took out the Scroll of Heaven from his leg bag and said to the grass ninja:

"We withdraw from this scroll competition, let us go!"

After saying that, he threw the scroll out. Naruto was furious when he heard this. He dived down from the tree and intercepted the scroll flying in the air.

Then he hit Sasuke with a heavy hammer, "The Sasuke I know is not so cowardly!"

"Stupid! You have no idea what's going on!"

Sasuke retorted hysterically.

"Do you think that if you give him the scroll, he will let us go?" Naruto concluded with a clear mind, "You are the coward who doesn't understand the situation!"

"You are the counterfeit!"

Naruto was extremely disappointed. He didn't expect that proud Sasuke would be frightened into begging for mercy.

"Hehehe, that boy is right. How could I let you go for something as boring as a scroll?"

The grass on the snake's back sneered.

Naruto knew that he could only rely on himself at this time, so he immediately used his shadow clone, and a group of people swarmed towards the big snake.

The big snake collided head-on, and several clones instantly dissipated. The snake's head was extremely strong, and branches were broken wherever it went.

Naruto dodged left and right, jumped to the side, then his eyes turned red and his chakra surged.

"Could it be that Naruto is going to go berserk again." Xiao Sakura on the side asked worriedly.

At this moment, Naruto was much faster than before. He teleported to the big snake, raised his arms and punched the snake's head wildly.

The snake's skin was strong, and even after countless punches by Naruto, it was only a skin trauma. The big snake hit it hard in anger, and Naruto flew to the sky in an instant without a trace.

"You brat who got in the way."

The Kusanagi on the snake's back said disdainfully, and then adjusted his mount. The big snake turned its head sharply and rushed towards Sasuke without warning.
