"For some reason, one Konoha clan has bad relations with the village. Upon learning of this news, Hidden Stone Village decided to launch a large-scale attack."
"It is unknown whether the intelligence is correct or not, so we need you to verify it."
After Tatsuma Aburame behind Danzo finished speaking, Nono, who was standing in front of them, clenched her fists.
Then she replied: "You found the wrong person, now I just work as the director of this orphanage."
Danzo frowned slightly: "You must understand why the funds for the orphanage have not yet arrived."
Tatsuma Aburame's voice sounded again: "Sooner or later, the orphanage will receive these funds. After all, this is what the Fourth Hokage promised. But this place is quite remote. Are you going to hire some ninjas to protect him at all times? For example, to prevent the theft of money or these children..."
Orochimaru interjected in the middle of his speech: "Orphans not from Konoha are useful, I really need them for..."
The next words were not spoken, but Nono already knew what her interlocutor meant.
I have to agree...
As for the money, I can probably find another source, but the safety of the children in the orphanage...
Nono, who used to be a Root elite, knows very well how Root uses these orphans.
Yes, exactly what to use. After brainwashing, they will become weapons of war or directly used in human experiments, regardless of the option - it is hell for the children themselves.
"Hm... I see."
When the enemy has your weakness in his hands, the confrontation does not last long.
Danzo's eyes flickered slightly, and Orochimaru behind him also smiled.
"Because of this information, I lost a subordinate, so this time I need to take the child from you…"
"No!"
Before she finished speaking, Nono stood up and resolutely refused. The children in the orphanage are her weakness, but they are also her support, allowing her to stay away from the darkness in her heart and strive for the light.
...
Walking out of the house, Kabuto clenched his fists tightly, as if he had made some decision in his heart.
*Pam!*
A hand suddenly slapping him on the shoulder almost scared him to death. But when he turned around, he discovered that it was the big red-haired brother who had invited him to a barbecue a few days ago.
"You…"
Sora smiled and replied, "Do you want to come forward and agree to their offer? Then do you know where the Root they are talking about is?"
Kabuto shook his head, "I just don't want the orphanage director to feel awkward, and as for me... it doesn't matter."
Sora looked into the room, and the black shadow instantly grew larger.
"Go back and wait for me."
Pushing Kabuto behind his shoulder with his hand, the long blade in his hand slashed across.
*Boom!!*
*Whoosh!*
Not only was the wooden door cut in one blow, but the snakes hidden in the shadows released as a countermeasure were also cut in half.
The power of the blow was a little out of control.
Returning the long blade, Sora frowned slightly. The surge of vitality and physical abilities made his speed, strength, and chakra completely different compared to before.
But along with this, there was also a sharp drop in controllability, to which he had become accustomed earlier.
Um... didn't I just break Kabuto's shoulder with that much force?
"Red hair, Uzumaki clan? You're not a Konoha ninja, it looks like my lab will soon have some good material."
Orochimaru's long scarlet tongue licked his lips as if there was a delicacy in front of him.
"Seriously, you're such a disgusting bastard!"
After saying these words, Sora joined his hands and the eight Flying Thunder God Kunai from his ninja bag were thrown forward.
Although the accuracy was not very good, at least two of them headed towards the enemy, while the remaining six landed on opposite sides.
"The throwing accuracy is so bad that it reminds me of some gray-haired guy."
Orochimaru was about to casually block the attack, but at that moment the kunai got closer and the three symbol spells engraved on them caused the snake pupils in his eye sockets to quickly shrink.
"Flying Thunder God!"
As he exclaimed, a kunai was stabbed into his heart from behind.
*Poof!*
"You guessed it right, Orochimaru."
Sora's voice came from behind Orochimaru's ear, but the next moment...
Orochimaru, who had been pierced through the heart, did not seem to feel any pain at all and even immediately turned his head, stretching his softened neck and allowing his head to be behind Sora's back.
*Shua!*
The Kusanagi blade that jumped out of Orochimaru's mouth pierced straight into the back of his opponent's neck, followed by a cross cut.
*Poof!*
There was a puff of smoke because it was a shadow clone.
"Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, you were never my target."
Appearing in the air behind Danzo, the kunai instantly struck.
*Boom!*
The kunai was blocked by the long blade, and Sora looked at Tatsuma Aburame standing in front of him, "From the very beginning of the fight, you did not turn your attention to me, but constantly observed Danzo's surroundings, you are truly loyal."
Tatsuma Aburame showed no expression and replied indifferently, "Root's mission is to protect Lord Danzo. The Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God technique is very fast, but it's just speed."
*Bzzz…*
A large number of black beetles flew out of his body like black mist, rushing towards Sora.
*Shua!*
Sora, who had stepped back to avoid the bugs, smiled, "No, it's because you don't know anything about the horror of the Flying Thunder God Technique."
*Boom!*
The flame attached to the Flying Thunder God's kunai ignited, and Sora suddenly threw it at Danzo.
*Boom!*
The first kunai of the Flying Thunder God, burning with flame, had just bounced off when the second one was already approaching, and the third one was not far behind.
*Shua!*
In an instant, Sora appeared behind Tatsuma, and in the next instant, a kunai split the former in two.
*Poof!*
*Bzzz…*
A large number of black beetles flew into the air, it was a clone of insects.
"Mr. Uzumaki, why do you think that the Flying Thunder God Technique can defeat me?"
Under a cold voice, as soon as Orochimaru extended his hand, several large snakes jumped out of it, wriggling towards Sora.
*Shua!*
Sora, who had disappeared after the flash, suddenly appeared behind Tatsuma who had just appeared, this time it was a real body.
*Pa!*
The arm was cut off from the shoulder and blood began to flow, but Sora frowned.
As a member of the Root, Tatsuma has a lot of combat experience, and the blow he just missed seemed to be a deliberate way to make physical contact with his opponent.
"Phew..."
The pain of having his arm cut off caused Aburame Tatsuma's forehead to break out in a cold sweat, but compared to Obito, the guy's pain-sensitive nerves seemed almost non-existent.
"I think it's a good deal, trading your life for my hand."
Aburame Tatsuma continued with a blank expression, "There is no need to talk much about the power of time and space ninjutsu. The reason why you dare to attack us is mainly because you can leave at any time?"
"Leave a mark in another place and immediately leave if all else fails. This should be your best hope."
Sora paused for a moment, feeling the changes in his body.
This…
