Chapter 56 Beating the old man at the root
"Well……"
"What happened, Orochimaru?"
Seeing Orochimaru, who was closing his eyes and concentrating next to him, suddenly opened his eyes and made a somewhat unexpected sound, Aburame Ryoma, who was sent by Danzo to meet with his old colleagues, frowned and was doing the release of parasites. preparation, while keeping a close eye on Orochimaru.
"Relax, Ryoma. I'm not crazy enough to fall out with my hunting companions before I get the prey..."
Orochimaru licked his cheeks with a tongue that was unusually long, and explained to his old colleague at the root with a smile:
"I just suddenly realized that our prey didn't just break into our trap without noticing anything..."
"Has anyone been discovered?" Aburame Ryoma decisively released the parasite in his body, preparing to use it to connect intelligence with other members of the same race working at the root. "Didn't the previous intelligence investigation say that that Isn’t Kaguya Rei good at perception?”
"Ninjas who have learned the sage mode will more or less acquire a certain degree of perception ability..." Orochimaru stood up and looked at the flickering lights in the forest in the distance with intense interest, " The psychic beast I sent out to mix with ordinary snakes was killed. He was demonstrating to me..."
"You tell Danzo to close the encirclement, and I'll go talk to Mr. Prey for a while first."
After finishing speaking, Orochimaru's body slipped silently from the shadow of the tree trunk like a hunting snake, and quickly disappeared from Aburame Ryoma's sight.
Aburame Ryoma frowned in displeasure and quickly released several waves of parasites to let them pass the news to their own kind. Then he took his own insect jar and chased after Orochimaru.
It is true that Nebe and Orochimaru are cooperating now, but as long as there is a chance, Orochimaru will never mind taking all the loot by himself, so Danzo has issued an order long ago, even if it is just for a moment, he must not let it go Orochimaru escaped from the sight of the root ninja and went to make contact with the target of this mission.
…
Where the firelight flickered, Kaguya Rei was humming a tune from his hometown in a relaxed manner while skewering the washed and skinless snake meat and placing it on the bonfire for a simple barbecue.
About a day ago, snakes began to appear more frequently during Kaguya Rei's journey to Tian Country.
Although this level is high, it is only from seeing one or two a day to seeing three or four. But for Kaguya Rei, who is designing Orochimaru himself, this small abnormality is , it was enough for him to realize Orochimaru's approach.
It is precisely because of this that when Orochimaru appeared from the shadow of the forest, Kaguya Rei, who was eating snake meat skewers, did not feel any surprise at all. He even waved the skewers in his hand leisurely and asked Orochimaru is interested in joining his own barbecue party.
"You don't seem to be surprised at all by my appearance, Kaguya Rei..."
Orochimaru ignored Kaguya Rei's very provocative invitation and squinted at Kaguya Rei's young, powerful and enviable body, while Kaguya Rei swallowed a piece of golden and burnt snake meat. After that, he responded in a relaxed tone:
"I was originally here to avenge the bite I received from you when I was attacked by you last time. Am I still surprised that you threw yourself into a trap, Orochimaru?"
"Hmph, this sharp-tongued boy is very confident in his own strength..."
Orochimaru really wanted to take advantage of his rich life experience to criticize Rei Kaguya, who looked very young and naive at first glance, but when he saw that the other party was calm and did not look like he would be able to use the method of provocation, Orochimaru finally He still gave up the more aggressive statement, but carefully maintained the distance between him and Kaguya Rei, and said in a conspiratorial manner:
"I just don't know if this confidence can save your life?"
"Huh? But Orochimaru-senpai, your actions don't seem as strong and confident as your attitude in speaking?"
Kaguya Rei stood up and turned her head slightly, revealing the magatama-shaped wound on her neck that was sealed by the four elephant seals. With a sarcastic smile on her lips, she said provocatively:
"Does it mean that, even at such a close distance, you don't have the guts to fight alone with me who has been planted with a curse mark by you? If so..."
"Then I'll come and take your head off without any courtesy."
In the forest, a storm suddenly blew up.
That was the aftermath of Kaguya Rei stepping on the ground and accelerating with all her strength.
"Latent Shadow Snake Hands!"
As a ninja who has experienced hundreds of battles, Orochimaru will naturally not approach a blood successor ninja who is good at physical skills without being prepared. Almost the moment Kaguya Rei launches his attack, he has already raised his hand to summon Countless huge venomous snakes appeared, completely blocking the direction Kaguya Rei was charging forward.
But in the blink of an eye, the big snake that flew out was turned into minced meat all over the sky in the lightning-fast sword light. Kaguya Rei even realized that before the rain of blood exploded and sprinkled, he had already appeared in front of the big snake. In front of Maru, he slashed down at him who was forming seals——
puff.
Orochimaru's body instantly turned into seventy or eighty pieces of various sizes, flying in all directions, but as Kaguya expected, the next moment, the intact Orochimaru appeared covered in mucus from not far away. A big snake appeared from the mouth and launched the prepared ninjutsu at him.
"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"
"Fire Release·Big Flame Bullet!"
The Wind Release that injected a large amount of chakra formed a huge tornado, suppressing Kaguya Rei in it. Then, a huge fireball ejected from another direction went straight into the tornado. The wind helped the fire, and in an instant It turned into a huge fire tornado that stretched across the sky and the earth, and its power and destructive power more than doubled!
"Earth Escape·Rock Breaking Hat!"
Another root ninja arrived and released a powerful earth escape technique. A huge hollow earth mountain fell from the sky, accurately pressing the fire tornado under the earth mountain, trying to limit the burning space. Create higher temperatures and violent explosions, further causing damage to Kaguya Rei who is trapped inside——
"poor and weak."
During the brief speech, Tushan had been cut in half. Kaguya Rei, who was unharmed, jumped out of the broken "volcano" and swung an extremely long ninja with his backhand at the root ninja who had released his earth escape. whip.
"Earth, Earth Escape·Hardening..."
Snapped.
The root ninja who wanted to rely on the hardening technique he had prepared in advance to withstand the blow was directly blocked and beaten into pieces all over the sky. With the light from the "volcano" erupting, the root ninjas present also saw Kaguya clearly. The true appearance of the whip in Rei’s hand——
That was his spine after hardening and lengthening.
"Dance of Maidenhair Flowers·Tangled Thorns."
Before the gathered root ninjas could figure out how to deal with this strange weapon, they saw the "whip" in Kaguya Rei's hand growing in the wind, extending to tens of meters in length in an instant, and then at a high altitude The hands of Kaguya Rei, who jumped up high, were waved wildly.
A light blow is enough to leave a deep mark of more than half a meter on the ground. Trees as thick as an adult's waist can't even slow down the whip's swing. However, in just a few seconds, Kaguya Rei's body is nearly 100 meters away. The forest was cleared into a white field, and the few root members who were unfortunate enough to be in it were all beaten into a bloody mist.
"It's really surprisingly tricky... but only such an extraordinary body is worth the many trump cards I have to deal with."
Orochimaru looked at the battlefield cleared by Kaguya Rei, licked the blood on his face that came from an unknown ninja, then bit his finger and slapped it toward the ground:
"Psychic art! Come out, Ten Thousand Snakes!"
