Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 378: The poisonous bird occupies the magpie's lair, the snake's questioning

The Land of Lightning, the Central Mountain Range, the Hidden Cloud Village.

At this time, the people of the Hidden Cloud Village were in a state of panic.
Because nearly 10,000 ninja troops were withdrawn to kill Uchiha Ci in Yunming City, only a group of old, weak, women and children and a small number of garrison forces were left.

At this moment, facing the attack by Iwagakure's army of 10,000 people,
Looking at the large group of people coming towards him,
Faced with such an absolute disparity in power, the Yunyin group felt as if the sky was about to fall. They stood there in a daze, looking up in confusion, trembling all over.

And at this time,
"boom!"

The Kumogakure ninjas had just gathered in front of the village when they suddenly heard a loud noise behind them.
The sound came from the center of the village, where the Raikage Building was located.
When I look back, I see——

A huge purple snake emerged from the ground, coiled around the base of the Raikage Building, and roared:

"--hiss!!!"

Then, it crashed into the Raikage Building, causing an exaggerated dust storm and strong wind.

"That's Orochimaru's summoning beast, Manabu?!"

Looking at this desperate scene that almost made things worse,
The group of Kumogakure ninjas on the platform where they assembled in front of the Kumogakure Village suddenly fell into chaos.
"Damn,"

"That guy actually took advantage of our weakness and sneaked into our village again!"

"It's over. It's over."

"There's Iwagakure in front and Orochimaru behind, but Raikage-sama and Abby-sama are not here."

"Could it be that we, the Cloud Village, are going to be destroyed!?"

"Don't give up hope!"

"Wait, Ailei, what are you doing? Don't jump!"

When my eyes became clear again,
Uchiha Ci felt as if he had fallen into a swamp.

From somewhere, there was a faint sound of floating water.

Faintly, through the deep darkness, one can see a sticky, scarlet wall of flesh.

This is the same level as the Toad Mouth Binding Technique of the Myoboku Mountain Iwasukami Toad, and belongs to the Ryuchi Cave.
Ninja method·Shekou binding.

It seemed that he was reversed summoned by Orochimaru into the stomach of a giant snake.

After taking a quick look at the surroundings, Uchiha Ci closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again,
A hint of purple eyeshadow appeared around the eyes.

At the same time, the light in front of him suddenly became bright, and through his sage night vision ability, Uchiha Ci could see,
At the end of the winding snake cavity, there is a door with a faint light.

"Is that the place? The secret base that Orochimaru built near the Hidden Cloud Village?"

"How many bases does this guy have?"

Uchiha Ci made a grumble, shook his head, and strode forward.
Soon, they arrived in front of the wide-open door of Shekou.

Turn the door handle and push the door open.

However, the scene before his eyes was different from the dark, damp, mossy wild laboratory environment that Uchiha Ci had imagined.

This is a room that looks quite spacious.
The circular house has a floor-to-ceiling window that takes up half of the room. From the window, you can overlook the entire Hidden Cloud Village.

There is a large desk in the center of the house.
With legs crossed at the table, one elbow resting on the back of the chair, one arm grasping the face, turning around,

Sitting on the throne that belongs to the Raikage,

A man with a pale face and long black hair and heterochromatic eyes.

"Sa~"

"You are here, my disciple."

There is no doubt that this is the office of the Raikage, and the one who is now in the office is his own master who was wronged.

"Orochimaru-sensei?"

Looking at this scene, Uchiha Ci couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Although I was prepared for Orochimaru's great powers, I also felt that Orochimaru might really be able to establish a base right under Kumogakure's nose. After all, he had been here more than once or twice.

But now, this... directly summoned him out of the Raikage's office. Uchiha Ci felt that it was still a bit outrageous.

Soon, Uchiha Ci's attention fell on Orochimaru's eyes.
at this time,

Orochimaru was also staring at Uchiha Ci, with veins popping up around his right eye.

And placed in Orochimaru's right eye socket was a white eye.

Roll your eyes!

When in Yunming City, Uchiha Ci noticed that Mangetsu's blind left eye was replaced by a white eye. He speculated that this might be the spoils obtained by Mei Terumi and others in the attack on the chakra cannon.

In other words, a member of the Hyuga family was involved in this battle and died without Uchiha Ci's knowledge, and lost his Byakugan that was not confined like a caged bird.

And now, the other right eye is in Orochimaru's hand.

Then, the members of the Hyuga clan appeared in this war, and it is very likely that Orochimaru was behind it.
"good,"

"Is this the Immortal Heart you cultivated on Turtle Island?"

"Tsk, it's amazing that such a huge amount of natural energy can be stored."

Staring at the terrifying thing beating in Uchiha Ci's chest with his Byakugan, Orochimaru said in amazement,
"Knowing all truths, combining countless ninjutsu, creating, and transcending!"

"Learn and utilize all the ninjutsu in the world, and eventually become the ultimate individual."

"Ci,"

"You are getting closer and closer to my dream of you now!"

Got praise from the teacher.
But Uchiha Ci didn't have the heart to discuss dreams with Orochimaru at the moment, he just shook his head.

"Teacher Orochimaru, do you have anything else to say?"

He looked past Orochimaru in front of him and looked out the French window.
From here, you can have a clear view of the entire Cloud Hidden Village.

Including in front of the Hidden Cloud Village,
now,

Thunder and lightning fell from the sky,

The Third Raikage Ai, with seven tails swaying, suddenly jumped down, and then, panting heavily, dragging his body that was severely injured by Uchiha Ci, began to charge towards the densely packed army formation of the Iwagakure.

Seven giant tails swept across the battlefield, stirring up a bloody rain like a windmill.

At this time, Orochimaru also turned his seat and looked at the hellish scene outside the window, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
then,

He turned his head and looked at Uchiha Ci, and said with a hoarse smile:

"The chakra of half the Eight-Tails in your body is almost used up."

"The natural energy stored in the Sage's Heart has reached its limit after the battle with the Raikage and the use of that form of power twice in a row."

"Although the newly acquired Curse Seal II ability can repair the body, it cannot repair the seal engraved on your heart."

"That means you won't be able to use the same move you used against the Raikage again."

"You should have stayed in Yunming City and listened to the plan discussed by those three brats from Akatsuki, and let Minato and Jiraiya take action."

"There is a considerable possibility that this war can be ended."

"And now-"

"And yet you still chose to come here."

"So,"

Orochimaru closed his right eye, narrowed his golden snake pupils slightly, and asked with interest:
"You who made this choice,"

"How can we fight against the Iwagakure army of 10,000 people?"
