Hidden Otsutsuki

"Be careful!" The side where Nonoyu was standing happened to see the flash of light when the scroll was opened. He rushed forward in a hurry, trying to pull down the root.

"Is this... a trap?" Tie Gen couldn't understand. He just controlled the insects to surround himself, staring at the scroll carefully with thousands of eyes, trying to find some clues. "Who would do this?"

"Captain, captain?" Nonoyu looked at the dark insect sphere and had no idea what to do. He could only call outside, for fear that he would die inside if he took the root...

"I'm fine." Tiegen waved his hands and scattered the bugs around. There were faint black dots falling slowly in the air... Needless to say, those were the bugs injured by the explosion.

"Captain, why is this scroll..." Nonoyu glanced at the broken scroll lying on the ground with a scared look on his face, and hid behind Torigen.

"Someone doesn't want us to get close to Orochimaru's base." This was the only conclusion that Tegan could draw. He bit his upper and lower jaws together hard, drawing traces of blood.

"Captain, you...your bug..."

"revenge."

"Huh? Just because..."

"That's right, just for the bugs!" Togen suddenly burst out with murderous intent, and the target was Nonoyu who was standing behind him.

Anyone who despises bugs deserves to die!

"Captain, I didn't mean that..."

"Hmm." Togen didn't say anything happily. He hummed a sound from his nose and walked back towards the weak Shanfeng. The corners of his mouth that he glanced downward and his slightly opened eyes all reflected that trace of resentment.

"Captain..." Nonoyu slowly put on his mask and followed Torigen.

"Only masks can be used as an essential part of ANBU to control our emotions."

People under the mask should not have emotions.

…

In the Kingdom of Tian, ​​somewhere in the forest, there is a stone castle.

"Has 'Gen' fallen to this level? Even the two top members can't do anything to my little puppet."

A man was lying on the ground, wearing a black robe, with a black cloth hanging in front of his mouth, covering the lower half of his face. His eyes were white as snow, with small pupils in the middle, trembling.

He faced the corner and smiled coldly.

"Haha, you can't blame that old man. After so many years, he has been able to engage in politics and bully three generations of old men." Orochimaru was also here. He stood with his hands behind his back, two white snakes coiled around his feet, and his lavender eye shadow shone strangely in the darkness.

"Danzo? Konoha...has been trying to deal with me for so many years, but it has no effect at all. Hey, Orochimaru, you came here just to talk about this, right? If you have something to say, say it quickly, and say it quickly, I don't want to waste time. ." The man on the ground did not react in any way to Orochimaru's joke, and abruptly interrupted his faint smile.

"Are we going to evict guests so soon? Well, I want you to do me a favor."

"What do you want me to do?"

"You really go straight to the point. Let me make it clear. I want you to assassinate the Fourth Kazekage."

"You're crazy."

"No, I'm not crazy."

"Kill him for what?"

"I think... being able to control Sand Gold's body must be very powerful, right?" Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue, licked his lips, and grinned unnaturally.

"Is this...what is your purpose?"

"Hehehe... I won't tell you now."

"You won't help unless you explain clearly."

Orochimaru is actually very aware of the strength of the Fourth Kazekage, after all, he is known as the weakest Kazekage in history. With Orochimaru's strength, it is not difficult to kill him alone. It's just that it will be a little troublesome to deal with the funeral.

This man's strength is just right for this kind of work. It's really relaxing to take the blame.

"That's it... Haha, I want to attack Konoha." Orochimaru walked towards the man, the snake head raised in his hand ready to move.

"Konoha? Isn't that the village where you were born? Why do you do this?" The man spoke, with an unusually cold bass, asking such a warm question, which was really inconsistent.

"You still ask me such a question... Haha, Konoha is decayed! It is no longer the strongest ninja village in the ninja world that I admire." Orochimaru did not want to be an enemy of this man, and remained calm. He took back the white snake beside him, took a step back, leaned against the stone wall, and closed his eyes slightly.

"Such behavior is disgraceful."

"Destroy the village where you grew up? But aren't we now fighting to the death?" Orochimaru's eyes slowly turned cold, and the excitement of making trouble was gone, leaving only nostalgia and resentment.

These were naturally seen by the man, the silent one, who said nothing and remained motionless.

"I've told you the reason, will you help me?"

"What are you going to do?"

"It's none of your business, right?"

"I can help you."

For a long time, there was silence again.

"Okay. Do you know about the Chuunin Exams?"

"Um."

"This time, the address is set at Konoha Hidden Village. I will send my genin in as undercover agents."

"Then what?"

"I will disguise myself as the Fourth Kazekage, sneak into Konoha myself, and get close to the Fourth Kazekage."

"This is why you want to kill the Fourth Kazekage. It's really making a fuss out of a molehill."

"Wouldn't it be nice to give you an extra reserve of puppets?" Orochimaru grinned and hummed, staring into the eyes of the man on the ground.

"One more is not more, one less is not a lot. So these are your plans? You pester the fourth generation and leave the rest to Oto-nin?"

"The purpose of pretending to be Kazekage is to be able to command Sand Hidden..."

"Okay, I agree. But I have a request. Konoha White Fang or his children must be killed by me myself!"

"Yeah, sure, it would be a good choice to throw him to you."

"If you dare to break your promise, I will definitely kill you."

"Okay, okay, you've threatened me so many times. Work hard and destroy pedantic Konoha together."

"Tch, you don't need to say it."

After saying that, the man walked straight to the entrance of the cave, leaving Orochimaru still licking his lips.

"By the way, you should change to a puppet earlier. I feel really unhappy about this."

"Tch, you don't need to worry about it."

"Okay, I don't mind as long as it doesn't hinder your movement." Orochimaru was just talking nonsense. He didn't care what the man did to him.

"Call me when you're ready." After saying that, he left without looking back.

"It's still the same... I'm so anxious." Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, then put on his signature evil smile, and his body slowly turned into a white snake and escaped into the ground.

…

"team leader!"

"What's up?"

"Another eagle is coming!"

"I'll come." Almost an hour later, another black hawk flew over. By this time, Shanfeng had woken up, but his physical condition was not strong enough to support a long-distance transfer.

The previous removal of the illusion by taking the root really hurt the internal organs. Although it is not serious, it cannot be recovered in the short term.

The explosion of the previous scroll had set a warning bell in their minds. Seeing such a thing again made them naturally more nervous.

"good."

"Hey, isn't it just that envelope? What about you two? It's like a life-or-death situation..." Shanfeng muttered in a low voice, and the corners of his eyes drifted towards Togen from time to time.

"There was another envelope bomb just now..." Nonoyu also lowered his voice and leaned close to Shanfeng Feng to explain to him.

She didn't want to disturb the root extraction. If the scroll was fake again, it would not be a good thing to break it.

"Envelope bomb? Tell me, what's going on?" Shanfeng suddenly became interested and suddenly sat up, staring at Nonoyu with wide eyes.

boom!

"Well, it's like this." Nonoyu didn't know how to describe it, and then an explosion appeared again.

This time I took the root and stood far enough away that there was no need to release bugs to resist damage.

"Another one."

"When will I receive a reply from Danzo-sama?"

…

On the other side, inside the cave, one of Orochimaru's strongholds.

"We are almost at the entrance of the cave. Let's go out and rest. After all, this is the enemy's lair, and we don't know what we will find." Yu Ling led the three of them through the road they had passed before, and it took a long time to reach the entrance of the cave. Without the blessing of the Sharingan, it would probably have taken longer.

"Okay." Jugo and Kimimaro's chakra has recovered, and there should be no problem with normal actions.

"Wait a minute!" Two figures were seen flashing past within the range of Yu Ling's Sharingan.

"Who could be there in this desolate wilderness? The chakra reaction is still so strong."

"Zhonggo, are there any villages near here?"

"I don't know." Chongwu took a deep breath through his nose and sniffed the air. "However, two familiar scents came over."

"Familiar breath? Could it be Tomorrow and Mingyue?" Yuetu immediately thought of his teammates, and the previous sadness was covered up by excitement.

"I'm not sure... I can't tell. It feels a bit familiar, but not very familiar." Kimimaro also stood up to help Jugo. Both of their Yin attributes could feel the changes in the air.

And isn't this the feeling that Ming Ri Mingyue gives these two people? We have met, but not much contact.

"I saw it." Yu Ling pointed to the darkness and said confidently. A bolt of lightning shot out from his fingertips, illuminating the visitor's cheek.

"Is it you!?" With just one glance, Chongwu could clearly see the faces of these two people.

Shark-toothed man, red-haired woman.

It can only be Shuiyue and Xiangphosphorus.

"Oh, I've been discovered. This kid is really not simple." Shuiyue raised a finger without any explanation, and water spurted out from the fingertips, hitting the thunder stream in mid-air. "Water Release·Water Gun Technique!"

Another high-speed jet of water hit Yu Ling, and before anyone else could react, the water bullet had already touched his face.

"Shuiyue you..."

"What are you here for?" Yu Ling calmly twisted his neck and stretched as naturally and easily as he started to engage in routine with the two Jonin-strength enemies across from him.

If he was alone, he wouldn't be so arrogant. After all, the difference in strength is there, and if he provokes any more, it will just be considered a trick, and he may not be able to escape unscathed.

But now that Chugo and Kimimaro are standing beside him, he naturally feels confident.

"Us? Haha..."

…

"Captain, there's another eagle!"

"Wow, how many eagles are there? They are really rich."

"Secret Technique·Insect Jade!"

"Thirty-fourth, deal with it!" Nonoyu clapped his hands happily, looking at the black eagle corpses lying next to him and the scattered scrolls.

"Let's go."

"yes!"

This time the fallen scroll didn't explode, it just scattered.

In the first line, there are only two striking words: "Retreat!"
