Someone was coming!
Aoba, who was hiding in the tree, immediately heard the movement behind him. When the person appeared, Aoba was stunned at first, then immediately walked out.
"Aoba? Is it you?"
Among the three Anbu members who were wearing masks, one of them suddenly took off his mask excitedly.
"Hayate!"
Aoba also did not expect to see Gekkou Hayate here. Then, could it be that the woman beside him was Hayate's girlfriend, Yugao?
Just as the two of them were about to catch up with each other in pleasant surprise, Anbu, who was leading the group, coughed lightly.
Then, Hayate, who was a little embarrassed, put on his mask.
Aoba also knew that Anbu was not allowed to reveal his identity when he was on a mission. Strictly speaking, Hayate's behavior just now had violated the rules.
Therefore, he smiled and punched Hayate on the shoulder, no longer causing trouble for Hayate.
After handing over the mission scroll and confirming their identities, Aoba began to explain the situation in detail.
More of it was actually in the photo he handed in. In order to completely fulfill the lie he told before, he also let 'Crown Prince' take a high-definition close-up of 'Enel' and completely threw the blame to his alternate account.
"That's the general situation. We can be sure that it was Orochimaru. However, after the other two left, Orochimaru never showed up. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I didn't sneak into the base to investigate. At the same time, I'm not sure if there are other ways to leave the base."
"We'll deal with the rest." Anbu nodded.
If he didn't see Gekkou Hayate, Aoba would certainly be eager to get rid of him, but considering that Orochimaru might have left some backup plans in the base, he made it clear that he wanted to follow and help.
After a short consideration, the leader, nodded. "Ok, we'll wake care from here."
Therefore, they immediately launched the arrest operation.
To be honest, Aoba was not optimistic about the result of the operation. They had already confirmed the whereabouts of Orochimaru, and Sarutobi only sent so few people.
Could it be that there were other people on standby in the dark?
There was a possibility.
After using the Explosion Tag to blow up the huge rock at the door, they quickly rushed inside.
However, just as Aoba had thought, Orochimaru had already disappeared.
After all, this base had been exposed to others. For safety reasons, Orochimaru would definitely choose to temporarily shelve this base.
Whether it was Sasori or Yasuo, Orochimaru did not trust them.
However, after the search, they still successfully found the secret passage in the base. Presumably, Orochimaru left the base from here.
However, when Gekkou Hayate took the lead and walked down, a sudden light made everyone's faces change greatly.
"Retreat! It's full of Explosion Tag!"
No one had expected that there were no traps in the entire base, which made everyone relax their vigilance. In the end, they were filled with Explosion Tag.
Such a sinister arrangement, as expected of Orochimaru!
Gekkou Hayate, who was walking at the front, was immediately pulled back by Aoba. It was already too late to run out at this time. If he was unlucky, he might be buried alive in the collapsed base.
Therefore, Aoba directly shouted, "Come to me, don't run around!"
At the same time, [Hardening], [Iron block], and [Busoshoku Haki] were all activated, and finally, the light and shadow of [Undying Fortress] instantly enveloped the crowd.
When Aoba used his fastest speed to do all this, the super chain explosion also began.
The tunnel instantly collapsed, and because the foundation was destroyed and the huge impact of the explosion, the entire base began to collapse
However, everyone was safe and sound under the protection of [Undying Fortress]!
Gekkou Hayate already knew that Aoba had such a move, so he was very calm and even had the mood to take care of his girlfriend.
But this scene was a bit shocking for other Anbu and Yugao.
And at this time, when he noticed the lightning on the hands of the leading Anbu, Aoba's heart was moved, and he probably knew who this guy was.
If it was as he expected, the leader of this mission should be Kakashi.
After all, this Chidori was really too easy to recognize.
As for whether Kakashi wanted to use Chidori to escape or save people, he was not sure.
The violent noise lasted for a few minutes before it gradually quieted down. The original cave had been completely buried, but relying on the small world that [Undying Fortress] had built up, it gave them a chance to buffer.
"Be careful, I'm going to end this Ninjutsu."
After reminding, Aoba canceled [Undying Fortress]. Several big stones fell in an instant, but they were broken by Gekkou Hayate and the others. It was not a threat to them.
On the other hand, Aoba used up his stamina to instantly heal his injuries.
[Undying Fortress], who was at Level 6, could already do 30 of the damage reduction effect. After the skill ended, he only recovered 70 of the accumulated damage.
With his current powerful defense, the damage he received was actually not much of an effect on him. In addition, the healing effect brought by [Ultra Rapid Self-Healing Body], allowed him to easily take on everything and protect everyone.
Otherwise, there would definitely be casualties. Not everyone was like him. Because they were afraid of pain, they added all their 'attribute points' to defense.
Fortunately, he followed, and Orochimaru was really sinister!
"What do we do now? The tunnel that can track Orochimaru has been destroyed, and we are also trapped here." Yaguo hesitated for a moment and asked.
At this time, Kakashi said very calmly, "Wait for the people outside to bring us out."
"The people outside?"
"What is our mission?" Kakashi suddenly asked.
Gekkou Hayate was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Capture Orochimaru."
"So, do you think that Orochimaru, who was once known as one of Konoha's Sannin, would be able to be arrested with just a few of us?"
They were being looked down upon!
Gekkou Hayate immediately understood what Kakashi-senpai meant.
They were only in charge of connecting and confirming whether the information was correct.
When they really started, there would definitely be reinforcements.
Thus, they were relieved.
In fact, there was one more thing that Kakashi did not say, which was that when he was facing Orochimaru, he could not even move because of the cold killing intent emitted from his opponent.
If Sarutobi had not appeared in time at that time, he might have already killed Orochimaru as prey.
Of course, the current him was no longer the same him as before, which was also why he came here now.
