Naruto Shadow Mage

The defection of the three ninjas can be said to be a sensational event in the ninja world.

 However, when the Third Hokage led the ANBU to sneak attack, Orochimaru knew how ruthless the Third Hokage really was. Although he could find others as a scapegoat, the Third Hokage insisted on finding his beloved disciple as a scapegoat. This was the main reason that made Orochimaru feel chilled, so Orochimaru defected without hesitation.

Moreover, when he left the laboratory in style, he found that the Third Hokage did not come to pursue him. There was no joyful smile on Orochimaru's face, but a sneer.

 “Are you preparing to divert hatred?”

"The living me is far more important than the dead me, because the living me can attract a lot of attention, especially since the black technology mentioned by Cross Country has been exposed, and you can turn the holder of the black technology into me. Even if someone needs black technology, the person they are looking for will be me, not you, right?”

"Sarutobi-sensei, when you taught me, Tsunade, and that idiot Jiraiya to work together as a team, you made us believe that the most reliable ones are our own companions. Teacher, now do you know how ridiculous your teaching is?"

“Sure enough, growth is a lonely road.”

“I’m afraid the people I can trust around me from now on will no longer have the same companions or teachers as before!”

 Sneered secretly, Orochimaru hid on the streets of Konoha Village, and soon disappeared within the territory of Konoha Village.

Just when Orochimaru was hiding, the Uchiha clan's guards began to take action. This was undoubtedly the order of the Third Hokage.

 Although Orochimaru could be said to have spared the Third Hokage once, he did not directly take the Third Hokage's life. However, compared with the overall situation, Orochimaru's small favor was still unable to shake the determination of the Third Hokage, so when the Uchiha clan guard received the news, the entire Konoha Village suddenly became alert.

 In contrast, among the Nara clan.

 Knowing about Orochimaru's defection, the calm Shikaku was frightened for a long time.

Someone among the Sannin actually defected?

 Still the only Orochimaru left in the village?

Thinking that Orochimaru and Cross Country had a good relationship, Shikaku took a deep breath and went to find Cross Country to discuss the defection of the three ninjas. Who would have thought that when Shikaku arrived at Cross Country's room, he saw three children, namely Gaara, Uzumaki Naruto, and Shikamaru.

　　With Gaara and Uzumaki Naruto, we are only familiar with each other, not very close.

 So, finding that Shikamaru was not in the room, Shikaku's eyes fell directly on Shikamaru and asked: "Shikamaru, where is your brother Shikamaru?"

"Brother off-road? He said he had important things to deal with and told us to have a good rest!"

As he spoke, Shikamaru pointed to the shadow clone next to him and asked curiously: "Father, what is that?"

“That’s the clone of your off-road brother, the shadow clone!”

Knowing that he had to go cross-country to deal with important matters, Shikaku frowned, and the first thought in his mind was to go cross-country to chase Orochimaru.

All right.

Shikaku didn't know at all that off-road and Orochimaru were the ones who were on the same road.

The interests of Konoha Village are not taken seriously by Cross Country at all. This is probably the only difference between him and Shikaku.

However, the cross-country at this time was really going to chase Orochimaru. He had long known that Orochimaru had the idea of ​​defecting, and had transferred all important things early. Wandering on the streets of Konoha Village, using Kagura's Eyes to scan the panicked crowd, Cross Country quickly locked onto the target, and immediately followed the target person. Cross Country followed him step by step into the Forest of Death.

Or

 He went to the secret passage in the forest of death!

 That's right, there is a secret passage in the Forest of Death, which was built by Orochimaru himself.

The reason why Cross Country fought Danzo Shimura in the Forest of Death was that Cross Country knew where the secret passage was. If things went bad, he could take Gaara and leave directly.

 Now, the secret road cross-country is not used, Orochimaru is really used.

Following the footsteps of the suspicious target, it didn’t take long for the cross-country and the suspicious target to head into the depths of the Death Forest.

 While tracking, Off-Road failed to deliberately hide its tracks, so the suspicious target quickly noticed the tracking of Off-Road, only to find that the person following it was the suspicious target when Off-Road

 No, it should be said that it was Orochimaru, so he turned around and faced the off-road road:

“Xiujiang, are you planning to capture me and take me back?”

 “Catch you back? Is there any benefit?”

With a relaxed smile, Cross Country was as relaxed as chatting with Orochimaru. He casually squatted on the ground and said with a smile: "It's just that I didn't expect that I just had the idea of ​​assassinating Danzo, and you Orochimaru was ready to defect. Tell me what the Third Hokage did to you. I am very curious as to why he chose you as the scapegoat instead of Danzo. Is it because he has a good relationship with Danzo? "

“Not only is the relationship good, Danzo’s style of dealing with things is more beneficial to Konoha Village.”

Licking the corner of his mouth with his tongue, Orochimaru said calmly: "On the surface, Danzo only controls the "roots". In fact, Danzo is responsible for collecting most of the information outside the village. It can be said that , without Danzo, Old Man Sarutobi's intelligence system would be reduced by half at least. Moreover, Danzo's spies are hidden in various ninja villages and can bring first-hand intelligence to the village, which is also strategic. needs."

“Compared to that guy Danzo, my intelligence system is much worse!”

As he spoke, Orochimaru suddenly saw that the cross-country muscles became stiff, which was a sign that he was preparing to exert force.

  Sensing the intention of taking action again in cross-country, Orochimaru was very wary.

 In other words, after the Third Hokage gave up on Orochimaru, Orochimaru felt that there was no one he could trust in the world.

The reason why Orochimaru's snake pupils gradually became colder was that the muscles in his body gradually became stiffer, and soon the attack came with a "bang" and the use of "Moon Step"!

“So you are planning to help old man Sarutobi?”

 “Off-road, what do you think?”

Muttering silently in his heart, Orochimaru narrowed his snake eyes slightly, and was about to cast the Latent Snake Hand directly at the landing point after casting "Moon Step" off-road. But just when the latent shadow snake hand was ready, a sudden psychological suppression and terror invaded. Orochimaru, who had already used the reincarnation technique, suddenly lost the ability to control his body. He could only use his snake eyes. Just staring at the cross-country in horror.

 It’s over!

That was the first thought that came to Orochimaru's head when he was mentally suppressed.

 However, just when Orochimaru thought that he would use the suppression of the Yin Escape secret technique to directly capture him alive when he went off-road.

 “Shua!”

The sharp spear with a palm blade shot away, and Cross Country suddenly cut off one of Orochimaru's arms.

　　followed by.

 His finger suddenly touched Orochimaru's forehead lightly!

“Orochimaru, who am I going to help? Do you understand now?”
