"Who is it?"
There was another cold shout. There was a fascinating light in Cross Country's slightly squinted eyes. Obviously, after being baptized by this decapitation tactic, plus the second stage of Yin Escape brand condensation, Cross Country had already broken through half the level. Stepping away from the shackles of the quasi-shadow level, he successfully passed a difficult level and entered the realm of the quasi-shadow level.
Quasi-shadow level, only half a step away from being a true shadow-level powerhouse!
At this moment, the cross-country with the second stage of the Yin escape brand condensed has undoubtedly become one of the few beings in the ninja world who is proud of the pinnacle of the ninja world.
In other words, as a quasi-shadow-level strongman, Cross Country already has the power to influence the Ninja War. He is no longer the former being who could only interfere with the Ninja War through strategy.
Therefore, facing the sudden strong man, Cross Country has the confidence and the courage to keep him.
Who would have thought that just when Cross Country gave a cold shout and was preparing to fight with the strong man who rescued Toshiro, a familiar figure gradually appeared in front of Cross Country, and then he spoke slowly with his hoarse voice that contained endless magnetism. Xu said,
"Off-road, it's me."
"Huh? Orochimaru?"
There is no doubt that Orochimaru's appearance was unexpected by off-road.
Following the orders of the Fourth Hokage and going to the Land of Grass to carry out beheading tactics is the real secret. Moreover, when going to the Country of Grass, Cross Country was a half-step quasi-shadow level expert. He naturally had the confidence to avoid the pursuit of the ANBU of Konoha Village and quietly complete the mission issued by the Fourth Hokage.
But now that Orochimaru appears, what does it mean?
It shows that traveling cross-country to the Land of Grass is not a secret at all. Even people like the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzo may know about it.
It is also because of this that Orochimaru's appearance caused Cross Country's expression to change continuously. After all, it doesn't matter even if his trip to the Country of Grass is exposed, but if the news that the Fourth Hokage is alive is exposed, Uzumaki Naruto in the Leaf Village will be in danger.
How could the Third Hokage, Shimura Danzo and the others watch the Fourth Hokage leave the Leaf Village?
Is it tantamount to rebellion?
Knowing that the Fourth Hokage is not dead, Uzumaki Naruto must be punished instead of the Fourth Hokage!
However, as if he could see through Cross Country's thoughts, Orochimaru smiled slightly as he stared at Cross Country's unpredictable expression. Immediately, with just one hand seal, Toshiro next to Orochimaru fell directly to the ground. Even Nozomi, who had escaped with his life before, fell into a deep sleep.
Obviously, Orochimaru had something to say to Cross Country if he made such a move.
Sure enough, as Cross Country expected, after Orochimaru solved Toshiro's hidden danger, he once again turned his attention to Cross Country. Orochimaru used his deep voice and said slowly: "You don't have to, Cross Country. Worry, I can know your whereabouts because I had a deal with Kushina. So, with Kushina's aura, I can find your whereabouts, but those guys in the village don't have this ability. ."
"Of course, if it were that idiot Jiraiya..."
"Perhaps, he is also capable of tracking you. After all, you still have a little aura that I hate." "
That aura must be Miao. A toad from Kiyama?"
As he said that, Orochimaru remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
Looking at the cross-country again, there was no doubt that when Orochimaru finished speaking, he secretly took a breath.
"It turns out that it's because of the Uzumaki clan inheritance that Master Kushina condensed for me that Orochimaru was able to track my footsteps. However, just like Orochimaru said, if Jiraiya is really serious, I'm afraid that through Minato With the teacher's psychic skills, Jiraiya can also track my footsteps." "
It seems that before Minato-sensei solves Jiraiya's hidden dangers, I still need to communicate less with Minato-sensei." "
No matter from the perspective of Which way do you look at it, Jiraiya..."
"They all seem to be guys from Yuzhong Konoha Village, right?"
He secretly thought that Cross Country knew what he was doing.
Immediately facing Orochimaru, Cross Country asked directly: "So, Orochimaru-sama, what do you mean by saving Toshiro? Don't you know that Toshiro's identity is very important?" "Important? Of course I know it
. "
Nodding, Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth and said: "But the more important Toshiro is, the less I can let Toshiro die, do you understand?" "
Lord Orochimaru, you mean..." "
No. No, I hope the situation is more chaotic."
As he said that, Orochimaru gradually looked into the distance, as if he was complaining about cross-country, but more like muttering to himself: "Sarutobi-sensei is old, look at Minato and You can tell from Kushina's situation that Sarutobi-sensei is no longer the Third Hokage who had the world in mind. So since Sarutobi-sensei can abandon such a useful chess piece as Minato and ignore Kushina's life, I'm afraid it only takes a little bit If there is any trouble, the first person Sarutobi-sensei is going to operate on is me." "
Fortunately, the situation in the Kingdom of Thunder is very bad, Sarutobi-sensei still needs me. Because of Minato's death, Jiraiya is not planning to come back for the time being. , if you want Tsunade to return to the village, you need to explain the rope tree. It is impossible for Teacher Sarutobi to do such a troublesome thing. Therefore, only when we, the Country of Fire and the Country of Thunder, go to war, can I be safe. Finished the last experiment."
"Off-road, if I say I need your power now, can you give me some help?" "
Just like I gave Kushina a little help before, I now..." "
Very much I need your help!"
"What can I help you?"
Cross Country sneered and asked: "I am just a small character, controlled by the Hokage lineage. I hope to help you, Orochimaru-sama. Unfortunately, the Third Hokage As long as I master that secret technique, I will be the slave of the Third Hokage. So I'm sorry, Orochimaru-sama, I'm afraid I'm going to let you down." "As long as
your heart is not with Sarutobi-sensei, you won't let me down. , Cross Country."
Listening to Cross Country's words, Orochimaru nodded with satisfaction.
Undoubtedly, the fact that Cross Country did not use honorifics to the Third Hokage was an important reason why Orochimaru was prepared to cooperate with Cross Country.
Then, as Orochimaru gradually explained his situation to Yuchi, Yuchi learned a lot from Orochimaru.
First of all, Orochimaru's experiment has reached a very important level. I am afraid that the Yaki no Jutsu in the original plot has taken a prototype, so he needs a stable environment for the time being, that is, he needs the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Fire. Only when the war in the country continues can experiments be carried out safely in Konoha Village.
The second point is that under the suppression of the Third Hokage, Danzo Shimura has no hope of getting the position of Hokage. As a result, Danzo Shimura will definitely be crazy for a while, so the matter of cooperation between Cross Country and Orochimaru will probably be revealed to the Third Hokage soon. This is undoubtedly the reason for further cooperation between Cross Country and Orochimaru. .
The third point is that the situation of the Nara clan and Uzumaki Naruto is very bad.
Even if he doesn't help Orochimaru in cross-country, Orochimaru may still have a way to successfully complete the experiment and betray Konoha Village like in the original plot.
But if Orochimaru does not cooperate with Cross Country, neither the Nara clan nor Uzumaki Naruto will be able to solve the problem smoothly under the control of the Hokage.
Therefore, when Cross Country knew that his cooperation with Orochimaru was to help others and himself, Cross Country directly agreed to Orochimaru's cooperation.
After confirming the cooperation, Orochimaru quietly took away Toshiro and the two Kumo ninjas.
On the contrary, they were off-roading. As Orochimaru and others gradually disappeared, they sat cross-legged on the spot and stared blankly at the Nara mark on their palms.
"If you want to remove the Nara mark on your palm, it turns out that you need..."
"Is it the inheritance of the Uzumaki clan?"
