"Alas..." Third Hokage on the main seat put down his pipe and let out a long breath. He turned his head to look at Jiraiya,

"I know that you have the idea of ​​'maybe there will be a turnaround', but the journey of nearly one month is a distance that cannot be crossed."

"Konoha Ninja can't leave these villages behind for more than two months. This is the bottom line."

Seeing Jiraiya lowering his head in disappointment, Sandai Hokage said again, "However, the Sealing Class has recently made a breakthrough in the research of 'Flying Thunder God'. If there are only one or two people, there is a chance."

"As for the candidate... for the time being, it will be Orochimaru. If there is any problem, he can also use the Ryūji Cave to return..."

"and many more……"

Before Sandai could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice. The next moment, Orochimaru pushed open the door of Hokage Room, walked in, and said with a smile, "If you don't discuss with me first, you can arrange this kind of work. I'm not afraid that I will directly reject?"

The appearance of the person involved changed the atmosphere in the conference room. Sandai, Jiraiya and others looked at the smiling Orochimaru and frowned.

Naturally, this is not because of Orochimaru's figure and appearance. He doesn't intend to explain so much to the people in the village, and now he is showing people with the transformation technique.

All the ninjas present were high-level ninjas in the ninja world, but they didn't know about it except Jiraiya, and they all cared more about what he said before.

Turning to sleep, Xiaochun stared at Dashewan, and said in a deep voice, "Are you planning to reject the village's appointment?"

Under the premise of being unable to rush to the rescue of Miaomu Mountain and not wanting to completely cut off contact with it, Orochimaru rushed there as a helper, which couldn't be more appropriate.

Not to mention the strength, what's more important is that with the help of the psychic beast in Ryuchi Cave, he crossed thousands of miles in a short period of time, and quickly returned to the ninja world.

As for the distance between Longdi Cave and Konoha... the village can afford it at this point.

Of course, there is a premise for all this planning - Orochimaru will not give up.

Facing everyone's gaze, Orochimaru smiled, "Of course I agree with this matter, but the Mt. Myogi incident after more than a month can only be regarded as a trivial matter, and now we have a catastrophe of life and death in front of us."

"Do you know why the Akatsuki organization has not carried out a second attack for so long?"

Before they could calm down and think, Orochimaru said directly, "I just got the news that Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, has undergone physical strengthening surgery."

"Not only the Baijue kind, but also the kind where Yaoshidou transformed from Chunin to Kage-level strength overnight."

There was a moment of silence in the Hokage room, and the atmosphere suddenly froze. Except for Orochimaru and Jiraiya, everyone felt a huge stone was pressing on their hearts, and the chill went deep into their bones.

Compared with this time, the quarrel between the elder advisor and Jiraiya just now seemed a little too cheerful.

Catastrophe is imminent.

Mt. Miaomu, which is far away in the desert, no matter what kind of disaster it encounters, there is no doubt that it will not affect Konoha.

But the Akatsuki organization, the leader Nagato... is a very terrifying enemy.

Even though they have lost the Box of Bliss, Nagato has the Immortal Eye and his own combat power can already cause huge damage. …

Not to mention, his strength has been strengthened now.

Looking at Orochimaru who was still smiling in front of him, everyone had mixed feelings in their hearts.

If there hadn't been such a physical strengthening operation from the beginning, the village's strength might not have improved rapidly, but it would not have encountered such an enemy, but in this way, perhaps Orochimaru would not be so strong...

The cause and effect of the world are entangled with each other. Even if all the ninja elites here are present, it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong.

Among them, Danzo, who has no sense of existence, glanced at Orochimaru in a subtle way, and was quite interested in what he had "recently inquired about". Perhaps it could be used as a piece of valuable information to trade with the Akatsuki organization.

Danzo's peeping can't be hidden from the current Orochimaru, but now he has no time to pay attention to the other party.

After all, he was an elder in the village, so if he wanted to kill him, he needed to find an upright reason, and Orochimaru naturally didn't want to take that effort.

What's more, from Dashewan's point of view, letting Danzo live like this, but getting farther and farther away from the goal, may punish him more severely.

And after the dead silence in the Hokage room, Sandai stared at Orochimaru, and said slowly, "Now, do you still have the strength to block Nagato?"

"I'm somewhat sure that I can repel it again." Da Shemaru nodded slightly, then smiled, "But others can't guarantee it, it's better to continue to push the scope of the operation... By the way, the side of Sha Yin Village can also do it." Included in the operation, Feng Ying and I have already negotiated part of the deal."

All the people present frowned slightly when they heard this statement. It is obviously not in line with procedural justice to conduct transactions on behalf of the village with other ninja villages privately, but now is obviously not the time to pursue it.

The Third Hokage nodded slightly, "Here I will let Tsunade continue to stare at the point, and speed up the process of lignified ninjas."

After saying these words, Sandai seemed to think of something, turned his head and said to Zilai, "If Mt. Miaomu will help Konoha in this month, there will be springs in the future."

"I see." Jiraiya nodded, looked at Orochimaru, but saw that he was smiling and turned into a wooden sculpture.

……

The sound of the wind whizzed by, and the white clouds changed their shapes, whizzing by.

Orochimaru stood high in the sky, overlooking the country of stone below, with a lot of emotion in his heart.

The environment is also harsh. If the Loulan Oasis in the desert is a gift from the earth, then the desolation of the Kingdom of Stone is due to greed.

Waiting for the dragon's veins to run through the body, the White Snake Immortal has been entrenched in the ground for nearly a thousand years, and has already absorbed enough natural energy, but this guy still hasn't given up the idea of ​​swallowing it alone.

Nowadays, the natural energy in Longdi Cave is all second-hand goods that have been digested and changed. If the White Snake Immortal needs it one day in the future, there is a high probability that it will be transferred back.

It can be said that Longdi Cave and all living creatures in Longdi Cave are her backup hidden natural energy, the only difference is that one is alive and the other is dead.

Of course, Orochimaru is not a good bird, and thinking about this is not to accuse the White Snake Immortal or anything, but just as a reference for comparison, thinking about what kind of approach I will take in the future.

"We came too fast, the avatar is still in cultivation, why not take this opportunity to go shopping."

The lamp god smiled mysteriously, "It just so happens that there is a child below, you must be very interested."

Orochimaru nodded slightly, "Alright."

Following the direction directed by the lamp god, he rushed down, and soon came to a rare hill with dense vegetation.

"The natural energy here is abundant."

Orochimaru's eyes shimmered, looking at the scene on the ground from a bird's eye view, he said in surprise, "It seems that this is a leak point of Ryuji Cave."

A long time ago, the natural energy in the White Snake Fairy's body had reached saturation.

"That's right."

The lamp god floated in the air, tilted his head and smiled, "And here is the kind of person you want to find in Loulan, a child corroded by natural energy. He is in the cave below."

"interesting."

Orochimaru licked his lips, "I have to go and have a look."

Chapter 336 Lack of Trust

Before falling from the sky to the cave, Orochimaru suddenly heard a deep roar, the corners of his mouth slightly grinned,

"Why, isn't the child you're talking about now working with bears and beasts?"

The lamp god smiled when he heard the words, but did not answer directly, but said, "If there is anything you want to know, let the Lord explain it to you."

Orochimaru shook his head and started to walk forward.

The cave is not shallow, and after walking a few steps, there is darkness in front of him. Orochimaru already has some night vision ability, and it is not affected at all at this time.He could clearly see the marks of hammering paws all over the outer wall of the cave, as if some ferocious beast had gone mad here.

"It's interesting." Orochimaru twitched the corners of his mouth, quickened his pace, and arrived deep in the cave not long after.

There was a burly figure half-kneeling on the ground, with a suppressed whimper in his throat, which was the origin of the beast roar that Orochimaru heard before.

"It's really rich natural energy."

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows, but his gaze fell to the figure's feet, where there was a thick and heavy shackle.

For ordinary people, this may be an inescapable bondage, but for strong people who have been strengthened by natural energy, it may not be such a powerful bondage.

If someone is afraid of this child's power, why not just kill him instead of choosing such an unreliable cage.

"Wake up." Orochimaru showed breath, and reached for a stone flake with his fingers.

Almost at the same time, the burly figure suddenly raised his head, revealing a pair of beast-like bloodthirsty eyes. Only in the depths of his eyes could he see a trace of humanity struggling.

Snapped!

The stone piece was hit on the forehead, and the figure was stunned for a moment, the animalism in the eyes rose, and the anger rushed to the crown.

A gust of wind suddenly rose in the cave, rushing towards him with a howl, and the distance that was not far away was instantly crossed.

Orochimaru didn't dodge or dodge, but just stared at the other party with great interest, with a golden glow in his eyes.

The wind suddenly stopped, and the inhuman beast's claws stopped in front of Orochimaru. The burly figure's voice was hoarse, and he squeezed out a few words, "You... leave quickly..."

He was already on the verge of madness, and he didn't even have time to think about the identity of the other party, and why he came here, he only hoped that the other party would leave quickly.

"Interesting, indeed interesting."

Orochimaru looked up and down at the burly young man in front of him, with a smile on his lips.

His former assistant, Pharmacist Dou, was already a rare genius in immortal arts, with a high affinity for natural energy, and even able to control immortal chakra with Chunin-level strength... But even so, it is not as rare as this young man right now. .

If Orochimaru is not mistaken, this boy does not control Chakra, but directly controls natural energy. This is different from almost all the sages in the ninja world, but it is the same as the white snake sage and slug sage a long time ago... .

Of course, now these guys behind can also use the chakra of chakra mixed with natural energy, but they haven't reached this point yet, and the little guy who only masters natural energy is a pretty good comparison.

But Orochimaru is here to celebrate that he accidentally encountered a piece of protection, but Chongwu can no longer control his bloodthirsty animal nature.

"Ah ah ah..."

After hearing a wild roar, Zhonggo's stopped claws suddenly snapped down, and the long-suppressed animal nature burst out and was completely released. …

But Chongwu himself did not have a trace of joy in his will, but a deep sadness flashed in his eyes.

—he was killing again, and it was an unrelated stranger.

boom!

After a loud noise, gravel was splashed and dust was flying, but Chongwu discovered in confusion that he had emptied out.

Before he had time to think about whether this was good or bad, or why, the next moment, his own body was slammed into the rock wall.

The intense pain spread to every nerve in an instant, but Chongwu's remaining rationality was relieved - the guy in front of him might not be able to kill himself, which is a very good thing.

So he stopped suppressing his animal nature and swooped over again.

Boom...boom...boom...

The loud noises in the cave continued for more than a quarter of an hour. During this period, the beasts attacked Orochimaru countless times and were shot back on the wall countless times.

Of course, except for the first time, Orochimaru kept his hands, otherwise even a body strengthened by natural energy would not be able to withstand this kind of toss.

"Looks like he's regained his sanity."

Orochimaru smiled, and walked out carrying a weight that was almost twice his current height. The shackles on the latter's feet melted like ice and dripped to the ground.

The sun outside the cave was just right, and Chong Wu, who hadn't left the cave for some time, subconsciously raised his hand to cast a shadow on his face.

Orochimaru took Shigego to the hill and threw him under a big rock. The latter got used to it for a while, stood up, looked at the black-haired boy who was even younger than himself suspiciously, and asked , "Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, I like you very much."

Orochimaru stood on the boulder, looked down at Zhongwu, and said with a smile, "I will help you solve this madness, and you don't have to be imprisoned in a cave by yourself in the future."

Although he didn't get any information from the lamp god, after just a short contact, Orochimaru had already seen clearly the boy's character and what he cared about the most.

The manifestation of bloodthirsty rage obviously has nothing to do with Chongwu's nature, but a sequela of the energy of the White Snake Immortal Art. Even if Chongwu didn't ask for it, he would try to research a way to suppress it.

After a moment of silence, Chongwu responded, "...OK."

He really didn't want to kill people at will, whether it was familiar people or strangers.

"By the way, after a while, there will be an earthquake here, and a disaster is inevitable."

Orochimaru glanced at Chongwu and said with a smile, "If you have the heart, you can go to the foot of the mountain and tell the villagers to stay away from here."

Although in fact the movement that will happen later will make the entire Stone Kingdom unsafe, but there is a difference in strength and weakness in comparison, and the natural energy leakage of this dragon hole must be the strongest part.

Chongwu's face changed slightly, and he said in surprise, "How do you know?"

"Does it matter?"

Orochimaru licked his lips, "Believe it or not, you can choose for yourself. I don't care, whether it is your choice at this time, or the lives of the people in that village."

"I understand." Jugo fell silent and did not argue with Orochimaru. Instead, he ran barefoot in the direction of the village. A sentence floated far behind him, "After the disaster, you can come here to find me."...

Chongwu didn't look back, just nodded heavily.

……

Inside the Dragon Cave.

Orochimaru, who had been meditating for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes, and the white snake fairy who looked like an old man in front of him spoke slowly, "Continue with the topic just now, how will you help me complete the transformation?"

When he said this, the White Snake Immortal narrowed his eyes slightly, and it was hard to hide the turbulent waves in his chest.

She has always known that Orochimaru is very talented, and even when she failed the final test of White Snake, she cooperated to save the other party's life, and even gave him a chance to subdue Ten Thousand Snakes.
