What's the most appropriate way to handle the current situation?
Should I bring out the big guns? Give him a shot before he completes his tailed beast transformation?
But, on the surface, this shot that I've been saving for over a year is for the Third Raikage. Although there are no witnesses here, using that kind of technique will inevitably leave traces.
But if I don't go all out, can I deal with a tailed beast transformed Jinchūriki? Kushina isn't here to help suppress him.
Just as Haori was hesitating, he suddenly felt a cold sensation behind him.
It was that same damp and chilly feeling, like… how to describe it? Right, if I had to use an animal to describe it, it would be like… a snake.
Haori turned his head sharply!
Then he breathed a sigh of relief because a helper with their own BGM had arrived.
Orochimaru, why are you just getting here?
I've been silently singing "A Thousand Years of Waiting" over and over again.
Finally, someone is here to save the hero… cough, nothing happened.
Finally, a big shot has arrived. So, Haori doesn't have to worry anymore. He doesn't have to deal with the Jinchūriki. This is something that a ninja of the Sannin's level should handle.
Haori quickly retracted his attack and retreated to Orochimaru's side, who had suddenly appeared.
Due to the appearance of the new enemy, Rōshi's tailed beast transformation had also stopped in a strange way. He hadn't escaped, nor had he chosen to immediately launch an attack. It seemed like he wanted to see what was going on before doing anything.
"A Jinchūriki? That's what the strong chakra you're feeling is like." Orochimaru's raspy, magnetic voice sounded. His cold face and vertical pupils, like those of a white snake, actually had a hint of excitement.
Male creatures always like exciting things. And a Jinchūriki, this dangerous thing, didn't make Orochimaru worried, but instead excited him, as a great scientist.
He definitely wants to catch this tailed beast and keep it as a pet.
"Orochimaru-sama, Rōshi, the Four-Tails Jinchūriki of Iwagakure." Haori revealed the other party's identity.
"Iwagakure? So, it's the Four-Tails. No wonder…"
Orochimaru's eyes couldn't have missed those burn marks around them. If it was the Four-Tails, then this would explain it.
"You've been fighting the Jinchūriki alone… your name?" He asked Haori again.
"Konoha Chunin, Shiraishi Haori."
Orochimaru, who had been staring at the Jinchūriki, suddenly turned his eyes towards Haori. His expression seemed even more excited than when he saw the Jinchūriki.
"That Lightning Release, that technique, so you're Shiraishi Haori."
"Chunin… hehe."
"Haori, Haori, that name… hehe, good, very good."
Orochimaru's attitude wasn't good.
Haori's mind raced. Could it be that he's also on the other party's research list?
Actually, thinking about it, he was indeed a special specimen. He was clearly from an ordinary ninja family. Why was he so strong at such a young age?
Especially that Lightning Release, which was clearly beyond the limits of human endurance. He himself wasn't injured at all. This was a challenge to the basic principle of "the power and risk of jutsu."
As for Chunin… when did Chunin become able to fight a Jinchūriki alone?
Even Orochimaru made fun of Haori's name. This was the first time someone had made fun of it.
Haori, this was the name of the Sage of Six Paths before he became a monk. But in the ninja world, where the Sage of Six Paths is now treated as a myth and legend, there is naturally a lack of understanding of the sage who created the ninja arts and pacified the world.
Was the Sage of Six Paths a real person? Most ninjas either say they don't know or say it's impossible.
But ninjas like Orochimaru and Jiraiya still have a basic understanding of the Sage of Six Paths. At least Orochimaru knows that the Sage of Six Paths' name is "Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo."
The name Haori wasn't common, but it wasn't rare either. But being a ninja named Haori, and having strength that can't be explained by general theory, Orochimaru was naturally interested in this fact.
So, how was Orochimaru's tongue moving at this time… Just imagine it. No description will be provided.
Haori didn't take the bait. He changed the subject and asked directly, "Orochimaru-sama, should we work together to deal with the Jinchūriki? We still haven't figured out why Iwagakure infiltrated this place."
Don't forget that this is the most urgent matter.
"No need. Leave this one to me. Aren't you two acting together? Your teammate's situation isn't very good right now."
As he spoke, Orochimaru pointed in a certain direction.
Orochimaru meant: It's okay that you messed up. Come on, Uncle will cover for you.
"Understood!"
With Orochimaru saying that, Haori didn't hesitate. He immediately retreated to rescue Kakashi.
As for Orochimaru wanting to deal with the Jinchūriki? He probably wanted to conduct indescribable research on the Jinchūriki and the tailed beast as a mad scientist…
Some things have to be done in secret. It's not convenient to have a third person present.
Haori carefully avoided Rōshi's side. The other party didn't stop him from leaving.
Leave the Jinchūriki to Orochimaru.
After keeping a certain distance from the enemy, Haori ran towards the direction Orochimaru had just pointed. Before he arrived, may the Third Hokage bless Kakashi Hatake.
Because they were not that far apart, Haori quickly reached the battlefield where Kakashi had initially fought the enemy. But there was no one there now.
He didn't find any blood or corpses, which made Haori breathe a sigh of relief.
The traces of the battle hadn't been concealed, so the direction of Kakashi and the enemy's movements during the battle was very clear. Haori followed that direction and chased after them.
And what about Kakashi? He was really in a bit of a bad situation now, because he was currently engaged in a dangerous one-on-one fight. But it was him against two.
The other two were attacking him, a mixed-gender double team.
It's truly a turn of the tide. Kakashi's feeling was not good at all.
Fortunately, it was as if they were deliberately letting the eyebrowless guy practice. The second enemy had just been watching. Only after the guy had been attacking for a long time did she decide to make a move.
Kakashi was about to be killed! At this time, his friend Haori finally came online.
Do you really think I didn't know you ten years ago?
The eyebrowless guy's name was probably Zōri Haku.
The ninja who had been watching the fight, the female ninja who had just made a move, was called Mei Terumi.
This woman, when she didn't move, she didn't move. But when she did move, she was as swift as the wind. In an instant, the kunai in her hand was about to pierce Kakashi's neck!
However, the special chirping sound of a certain Lightning Release suddenly sounded.
A hand, flashing with lightning, magnified in front of Mei Terumi's eyes, and then slapped her face with a "smack."
It was painful, numb, and stimulating. As a woman, even as a ninja, she probably hadn't been treated this way since she was a child.
The force coming from the hand was very strong. She felt a pulling sensation on her neck.
Her head moved back under the force of the other party, then was pushed away, followed by her waist, thighs, and feet!
Mei Terumi felt her body flying backwards. Then…
"Boom!"
The girl's head was slammed against a wall by someone!
Like a rotten watermelon.
Brutal!
But when Haori retracted his hand, the thing in front of him was just a wooden stake.
"That's interesting. With my attack speed, so far, there haven't been many enemies who have successfully used the Body Flicker Technique in the process of fighting me."
Haori turned around and said to a certain direction.
Actually, there hadn't been any before. Mei Terumi was the first.
