Whether it was Konoha Anbu, Jiraiya or the artistic duo of the "Akatsuki" organization, they almost all discovered each other, but they each had their own concerns and did not take action.
In addition to them, Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja also sent teams to monitor from a distance.
It is rare to see so many masters gather in a small place like Tianzhi Country.
After a few attempts, even if Orochimaru was more relaxed, he should have realized something was wrong.
When the surrounding informants passed the information about those uninvited people to Orochimaru, one of the former "Sannin" who almost shed a cold sweat because of his negligence, immediately decided to seal off all nearby underground bases and Move the core.
The pharmacist who presided over the promotion was busy and packed up the important equipment and experimental records in the laboratory. The valuable "materials" locked in the dungeon were left in batches, and the remaining "consumables" were used as cannon fodder to attract The intruder's attention.
Orochimaru himself, who was at the center of the incident, calmed down and was not in a hurry to leave.
Let's not talk about whether the secret base will be discovered. Even if it is breached, Orochimaru, who has the advantage of home field, is still very confident to repel the incoming enemy.
The only ones that need to be concerned about are Jiraiya who has been pursuing him for many years and has not given up, and the Red Sand Scorpion who is not pleasing to the eye no matter what.
"Lord Orochimaru, do you want to catch up with old friends?"
"Wouldn't it be a pity to miss such a good opportunity? Aren't there rumors that I secretly dug the first generation's grave? Wouldn't it look too weak to not respond?"
"All right."
Yakushi Kabuto escorted the supplies away first, but his heart was filled with tears.
"pity? weak? Lord Orochimaru didn't have such rich extreme ideas before, what's wrong now? 』
If Orochimaru really cared about what outsiders thought of him, he wouldn't have defected from the Leaf Village back then.
Except for the plan of immortality and exploring the secrets of ninjutsu in his mind, everything else is dispensable.
With doubts and worries, Kabuto Yakushi skillfully used a series of disguises to deceive everyone and successfully escape from the dangerous situation.
Orochimaru, who knew there was something wrong with his mentality, had no intention of changing it for the time being.
Instead, he did many things that surprised him.
A week later, in an abandoned temple east of Tian Country, Jiraiya, who had drank some wine and rested for a while, strolled down the long street with his sleeves rolled up.
"I'm here at invitation, Orochimaru, why don't you show up yet?"
"You are really as stupid as before. Aren't you afraid that this is a trap?"
"Even if I have to go up the mountain of knives or go down into the sea of fire, I will still come. It is my mission to take you back and let you go."
"You're not ashamed of your words. Isn't your mission to find the child of destiny? I'm not the savior those stinky toads talk about. If you go against me, you won't be able to gain favor."
"You won't know until you try it."
Around the corner, Orochimaru, who exuded a cold aura and had an evil smile on his face, came over and stood more than twenty meters in front of Jiraiya.
"I also want to see Toad Sage Jiraiya's clever tricks. You're welcome, just come over here."
After hearing this, Jiraiya's face became serious and he quickly formed seals.
"Fire Release·Fire Bullet."
Gather chakra in your mouth, condense it into oil, and use fire escape the moment you spit it out to ignite it.
The oil fueled the fire, and the high-temperature and high-temperature fire oil bombs headed in the direction of Orochimaru.
"Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall."
A wide earth wall rose up in front of him, blocking the attack of Fire Release and Flame Bullet.
The high temperature and high heat produced a small explosion, which cracked the earth flow wall, then burned it and dumped it down.
Although the Earth Release and Earth Current Wall were defeated, the Fire Release and Flame Bullets did not cause any damage.
Orochimaru, who was so rested, looked at Jiraiya holding the azure blue chakra ball - Rasengan. He stepped forward and pressed his hand over him. The power of A-level ninjutsu was indeed extraordinary. Orochimaru's body seemed to be blown away. The rag was knocked down and rolled on the ground for more than ten meters. It only stopped after collapsing the wall behind it.
It seems that Jiraiya has the upper hand, but Orochimaru is not so easy to catch.
The sluggish figure turned into a pile of loess. It turned out that what Riraiya had hit was just a clay puppet.
"That's all you have? Orochimaru, you've regressed."
As he spoke, Jiraiya's white hair suddenly stretched out, covering his entire body, blocking the sudden sword light that struck him.
"No, you are still the same, still as sinister. And I have become stronger. This time, you will definitely not be able to run away."
"In the past few years, this is the first time you have said this kind of thing and come back disappointed. Haven't you learned your lesson? It seems that your understanding is only that, and you can't recognize the gap between you and me."
"You're wrong, I'll prove it to you."
As he spoke, Jiraiya took a few steps back, bit his finger, and used a psychic technique. Violent chakra fluctuations erupted, and a huge red-skinned toad with scars all over his body appeared impatiently, carrying a big knife on his back.
"What is it this time, Jiraiya...eh? Orochimaru, we really meet old friends."
Seeing that the other party had ended the test, Orochimaru was not polite and quickly called Wan She over.
"I told you, Orochimaru, don't cause any trouble to me until we have agreed on the number of sacrifices."
"two hundred."
"Deal, since you are so sensible, I will reluctantly do it...wait, is it you stinky toad?"
"Garbage bug, want to test whether my knife is sharp?"
"Sooner or later I'm going to crush you and eat you, you bastard who has no other skills except for having a very loud breath."
Generally speaking, frogs are the prey of snakes, but toads have venom glands on their bodies and are too large, so many snakes are reluctant to provoke them.
In fact, snakes and frogs prey on each other. Whoever eats the other depends on which one is bigger and can swallow the other.
People often see water snakes eating frogs, but rarely see frogs preying on water snakes because they can't compete on the same stage.
Some giant frogs, such as toads, bullfrogs, and horned frogs, do include smaller snakes and juvenile snakes in their diets. Once caught, they will swallow them without hesitation.
Gamabunta originally belonged to a race whose body was made entirely of stomach except for its mouth. It was entirely possible for him to swallow a snake similar to his own size. Of course, it wouldn't be a problem for Wan She to eat Gama Bunta.
Gamabunta, who was holding the handle of the knife with his forelimbs, was on guard against the snakes that were spitting out snake messages. Jiraiya, who was standing overhead, was looking at Orochimaru from a distance, using words to delay the experiment while forming seals to prepare for sage mode.
Orochimaru acted as if he didn't know, watching Jiraiya's movements with great curiosity, and his own perception clearly detected the abnormal movement of the surrounding natural energy. He also began to activate the curse seal quietly, getting ready to turn on the immortal mode.
A few minutes later, Jiraiya, who was chattering endlessly, accumulated enough chakra and turned on the sage mode. The frog transformation marks on his face were very deep. At the same time, he used the psychic technique to call Shima sage and Fukasaku sage over, and performed the celestial magic. The art of life combines the power of the three, and the power of the Toad Immortal reaches its peak.
"Immortal Technique·Fire Release·Great Flame Bullet."
After being prepared, Jiraiya quickly used the powerful Fire Release and headed towards the huge Manji and Orochimaru.
"Innocent."
Orochimaru, who sneered, once again used Earth Release and Earth Release Wall to block the Immortal Fire Release.
The result this time was no different from last time.
"This is impossible."
The stunned Jiraiya looked at the immortal magic being blocked, and was a little confused for a moment.
Rather than restraining each other, the Immortal Technique, Fire Release, and Great Flame Bullet are enough to crush ordinary Earth Release Ninjutsu into slag.
After Shima Sennin coughed twice, he pointed in the direction of Orochimaru and said:
"Little Jiraiya, look across the way. We are in trouble!"
I saw that Orochimaru's body shape also changed slightly. The traces of snake transformation were obvious. There were four or five purple dragon-shaped chakras swirling around his body. It was obviously not an ordinary technique.
"That...is also the immortal mode? This shouldn't be the case. He has said before that he failed in practicing snake immortality."
"Failed in the past does not mean that he will not succeed in the future. Obviously, Orochimaru did it. He is really an incredible genius."
"Even so, I won't stop."
As he spoke, Jiraiya once again summoned up all the chakra in his body. After accumulating the energy, he opened his mouth and spit out a large ball of fire.
"Senpō Goemon."
It is almost the strongest fire escape ninjutsu that Jiraiya can perform now, and it also uses the power of the experienced Shima Sage and Fukasaku Sage.
"Psychic·Triple Rashomon."
As Orochimaru's words fell, three doors with grimaces rose from the ground, blocking the extremely powerful fire escape.
The triple Rashomon gates were destroyed one after another, proving that Jiraiya's technique was indeed terrifying. The partially weakened Senfa Goemon, after hitting Manji and Orochimaru head-on, jumped into the air. Fierce flames.
Half a minute later, the scorching flames slowly subsided, but Jiraiya looked around with a somewhat unsightly expression.
The snake-like object under the firelight was just a hollow mass of snake slough, and the real owner had long since disappeared.
The extremely powerful fire escape ninjutsu didn't work. Jiraiya was a little disappointed, but he could understand it. If Orochimaru could be captured so easily, it wouldn't be so difficult.
"Where are the people?"
After a brief but intense conflict, Orochimaru retreated simply.
It was not Orochimaru's purpose to defeat or even kill Jiraiya. The purpose of inviting this former comrade to meet was actually to confirm some ideas about the sage mode. Since the other party was so cooperative, Orochimaru was naturally happy to lend a hand.
After achieving his goal, there is no need to continue fighting, and Orochimaru will naturally not waste time in a dangerous place.
"Jiraiya is still the incompetent guy. He has never mastered the so-called Toad Senjutsu. Without the help of two smelly toads, he can barely maintain a fighting posture. As for the Immortal Technique... it is quite powerful, and it is not ruled out that there are more powerful tricks, but the essence is nothing more than this, and it is not much better than the Immortal mode developed from the Curse Seal. 』
The immortal mode is just a fighting posture to maintain stronger power, and there is no essential difference between the first, second and third states of the curse seal.
If your own power has its own limit, you can use natural energy to make up for it. The utilization mode and efficiency are similar.
After leaving Jiraiya alone in his incompetent rage, Orochimaru quickly headed west.
"Just in time, I'm going to the Kingdom of Wind to talk to Feng Ying about cooperation. 』
After making up his mind, Orochimaru strengthened his senses a lot and looked in the direction where Deidara and the Red Sand Scorpion were following. After sneering disdainfully, he no longer cared, but took advantage of the blessing of the Sage Mode to return. Didn't pass, speeded away.
Although it was unknown who was behind this sudden change, Orochimaru did not plan to care about it for the time being, but implemented it in an orderly manner according to his own plan.
On the other side, Aburame Shihui, who silently watched the battle scene in his eyes, asked the Anbu to stare at the direction Orochimaru was leaving, and followed Jiraiya, intending to wait for him to calm down before going forward to have a chat. .
Even Jiraiya couldn't be taken down, so the ANBU should not expect to do anything to Orochimaru.
More importantly, the information that Orochimaru has become more powerful must be passed back to the village as soon as possible.
…
After Feng Molan and a large number of unruly guys were sent to a more secluded base nearby, he looked at his new "roommate". The three of them looked at each other across the iron fence.
The burly Jirobo was the guy who gave Fuma Arashi a huge blow several times. He was born with supernatural power, and ordinary people simply couldn't withstand his attacks.
He is the one who can defeat ten levels with one force. Maybe Jirobo can't kill everyone at a higher level, but he is already one of the strongest people in this dark underground arena.
Tayuya on the other side was also a pretty girl at the beginning, but her natural temperament was wiped out in repeated fights. The current Tayuya is a terrible and moody god with a bad temper, who kills people with voice illusions whenever he disagrees with her, and is moody.
As for Feng Molan, I don’t know what Gushan Bushui did to his body, which he had never even met, and his strength became stronger and stronger.
Lan always had a fake smile, always had a good temper, and was quite kind to others. However, almost all the people who had interacted with him died, and he was the only one who was still alive and well.
No one cared about it at first, but as time went by, Feng Molan became the smiling Shura that everyone stayed away from.
"Sacrifice...is getting harder and harder." 』
There are not many masters who can get on the stage. Jirobo and Tayuya, who are looking at them fiercely, are good targets. Unfortunately, their strength is beyond the range that Fuumalan can deal with. At least for now, there is no way to do anything to them. Sample.
In another dungeon, there are two more worthy masters, Sakon, Ukon and Kidomaru.
Feng Molan calmly looked at the black diamond-shaped mark on his wrist, and Feng Molan's restless heart calmed down a little.
Every time the "wedge" thaws in stages, Feng Molan can feel that some kind of power is awakening in his body.
"That is definitely not the blood inheritance limit. 』
Feng Molan was convinced of this. Although he was a little worried, he had to rely on it now.
In this dangerous dungeon, strength is the only way to survive.
"Sasame, Kageno, and... my compatriots, wait for me. I will definitely see you back." 』
