In the forest inside the canyon, the captain of the Kirigakure's Anbu's team is running forward at an extremely fast speed, with a panicked expression on his face, because there are almost no more screams coming from behind!
Finally, as the last scream disappeared, only his rapid footsteps, breathing, and heartbeat remained in the silent forest.
'Damn it!'
'Why haven't the others arrived yet!!'
'Why haven't I run out yet?!'
The captain's eyes are fixed on the front, but as far as the eye could see, there were only dark trees, stretching towards the end of the world like an infinity!
"Hehehehe, this is the end."
Orochimaru's hoarse, gloomy voice came from all directions, and an invisible pressure suddenly pressed on the captain of the Kirigakure's Anbu's team.
...
On the hillside of a green mountain outside Kirigakure, an invisible ring-shaped air wave suddenly exploded, followed with Kanpū's figure quietly landed.
Turning around and looking down, he saw that Kirigakure was enveloped by a layer of hazy mist in the night, and only a few sporadic sparks could be seen.
Kanpū looked up towards the dark shadow outside Kirigakure, and frowned slightly, 'Where are Orochimaru and the others?'
Kanpū pondered for a moment, then created a shadow clone and said: "East one, south two, west three, north four."
Then he hit the clone with a punch.
In the next instant, the purple-black nebula inKanpū's began to fluctuate.
'One, two, three times.'
'It's the west!'
Kanpū's figure flickered and immediately turned into an afterimage and disappeared.
...
At the entrance of the canyon.
Yagura and fifteen Kirigakure's Anbu stood quietly under the moonlight, silently looking at the jungle deep in the canyon.
"Mizukage-sama, there seems to be something wrong."
The Anbu with Byakugan has the veins in his right eye protruding, and he stared fixedly at the depths of the canyon. the gray field of vision, a figure in a haggard state was running outwards while stumbling.
It's just that the Chakra lines on this figure are a bit exaggerated!
Regarding Shinobi, the more Chakra they had in their body, the clearer the Chakra lines that appears in Byakugan's vision, and for the Chakra lines' clarity to this level, even Yagura can 't compare with it, unless the latter uses Sanbi's Chakra.
"What's wrong?" Yagura tilted his head slightly.
The Byakugan Anbu was about to speak when the figure in his field of vision had already rushed out of the canyon, and it is the captain of the Anbu's team!
"Mizukage-sama, save me!!"
The team captain ran towards Yagura full of panic and fear, and he also kept looking at the back, as if there is something terrifying chasing from behind him.
Yagura subconsciously took two steps forward to meet his subordinates.
"Wait!"
The Byakugan Anbu stared at this companion who was getting closer and closer, 'As an Anbu like me, he shouldn't have such a huge amount of Chakra, so…'
"Mizukage-sama, he is Orochimaru!"
In a flash, the Byakugan Anbu guessed the identity of the person in front of him and quickly reminded Yagura.
Yagura paused and his immature face suddenly darkened. He immediately lifted the iron rod in his hand.
"Four Coral Strikes!" Yagura trusted this Byakugan Anbu very much, so after hearing his reminder, he launched a violent offensive almost without hesitation.
"It was discovered…"
The team captain, who is indeed Orochimaru, looked at the Byakugan Anbu in surprise. His eyes instantly locked on the bulging veins near the eyepatch of his right eye.
'Is that…'
'Byakugan?!'
Orochimaru stepped back quickly while twisting his waist like a snake to avoid Yagura's iron rod.
"I really didn't expect that Kirigakure would be able to get Byakugan. I was careless."
Orochimaru looked at the Byakugan Anbu excitedly, while tearing the human skin that had been put on his face using the 'Erasing Face Technique'.
If he had known that there was a Byakugan in Kirigakure early on, Orochimaru would definitely hide the huge Chakra inside his body, but unfortunately, he missed an excellent opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
But Orochimaru didn't panic at all.
He looked at Yagura's pale and bloodless face, and he can tell at a glance that there is definitely a huge hidden danger in other party's body, and even if he and Taki didn't take action, Yagura would probably die soon.
In this way, as long as he keeps consuming him, he can drag Yagura to death.
Orochimaru bit his thumb, then formed hand seals and slammed his palms onto the ground: "Summoning Technique!"
Bang!
Under the dark night, a huge smoke rose into the sky, and with the sound of rubbing scales, a huge, bloated giant snake rushed out of the light smoke.
"What kind of monster is that?"
"Wow, so big!!"
"That should be a snake from Ryuchi Cave, which is one of the Three Holy Land in the Shinobi World. Its aura is very powerful!"
The group of Kirigakure's Anbu immediately scattered in various directions, for fear that they would be slapped by Manda when gathered together.
"Orochimaru…"
Manda lowered his head and looked down at Yagura and the Kirigakure's Anbu. He hissed and said coldly, "Are these living people the sacrifices you give to summon me? It's far from one hundred!"
'Hmph, although I am a snake, I can still count from one to a hundred smoothly!'
Orochimaru lightly jumped onto Manda's head, his golden vertical pupils fell in the direction of Kirigakure, and he said with a smile: "There are more behind, don't worry."
"Orochimaru, did Akatsuki send you here?" Yagura calmly looked at the demon-like Manda, and slowly opened the seal inside his body.
"I didn't expect you to have heard of Akatsuki's name…"
Orochimaru crossed his arms near his chest, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, "I understand, Gekko Kanpū's purpose of coming to Kirigakure is to tell you about Akatsuki's information."
"So what? You…"
Just as Yagura wanted to speak, he heard a shrill howl coming from the side.
Yagura turned his head abruptly and saw that the Byakugan Anbu had been beheaded by Orochimaru, and at the same time the Byakugan in his right eye socket was removed.
"This Byakugan, I accept it." Orochimaru turned his head and smiled coldly.
Yagura's face changed slightly, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Orochimaru on Manda's head. He saw that Orochimaru smiled with disdain, and then turned into a white snake with a bang, then slithered into Manda's large nostrils and disappeared without a trace.
'So cunning!'
Yagura's pupils shrank at this moment. Just now, Orochimaru deliberately summoned this big snake just to attract the attention of all Kirigakure's Anbu including him, and then wait for the opportunity to sneak attack on the Byakugan Anbu.
'Bastard!!'
"Then, let me see the true form of Sanbi, Yondaime Mizukage…sama!" After Orochimaru sealed the Byakugan into a scroll, he immediately flickered behind Yagura, and slapped him on the head.
Yagura snorted, and the Sanbi's Chakra inside his body suddenly spurted out like a fountain, condensing into a scarlet Biju Cloak outside his body. His style of appearance is instantly different from Orochimaru.
Coral Palm!
After using Biju Transformation, Yagura's speed and defense were greatly increased. He completely ignored Orochimaru's attack and turned around and slapped Orochimaru back with a palm.
Coral Palm is a Nintaijutsu self-created by Yagura based on Sanbi's Chakra. Once it hits the target, corals will grow on the injured part until it pierces the opponent's internal organs!
But the other side is Orochimaru, who is one of Konoha's Sannin after all, so it is impossible to be hit by him…
'Bang!'
'Huh?'
'I hit him?!'
Yagura looked at Orochimaru, who is flying upside down, feeling a little confused.
