Outside Konoha Village, in the mountains and forests in the distance.
The weakened Orochimaru did not go far. He stood on the top of the crown of a huge tree, looking at the smoke gradually fading in the direction of Konoha in the distance.
"Sarutobi-sensei...hehe..."
Orochimaru chuckled lightly, with a bit of sadness in his eyes. He was not very happy when Sarutobi Hiruzen died.
Of course, to say that it's sad doesn't seem like much.
Such an ending may be the best ending for a generation of heroes for the old man.
"Cough cough cough!"
Suddenly, Orochimaru clutched his chest and coughed violently.
Blood overflowed from his fingers, and his face became paler.
"The Eight Door Dunjia Formation... is really powerful!"
Orochimaru looked at the blood on his palm, his eyes narrowed. He originally thought that the level of life had changed qualitatively. After reaching a big level, the only people who could threaten his life were Bai Yu, Kushina, and the Otsutsuki clan. But it turned out that He was severely injured by Matt Dai at the level where he thought he was least likely to be injured.
After completing the software transformation and integrating the chakra of the Otsutsuki clan, he would not necessarily be injured even if he took a hit from the tailed beast.
This time, Matt was seriously injured.
But if he had known this, Orochimaru would still have returned to Konoha.
Maybe it's psychological.
Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, just like walking in brocade at night.
After receiving such a huge improvement, Orochimaru thought deep down that he should show it to some special people.
Didn't the old man say that he was on the wrong track?
Facts have proven that the path he took is the right one.
Otherwise, why would the old man die by Kakashi's knife?
If the old man could be like him, his strength did not decline during his peak period, or even continue to improve, he would not become more and more mediocre in these years. After all, his strength is declining, and he is afraid of being surpassed by rising stars, and he is reluctant to give up the power in his hands. Faint moves occur frequently.
it's all over!
Orochimaru looked deeply at Konoha again, and then withdrew his gaze.
This time he not only wanted to recover from his injuries, but also completely restore the original chakra of Otsutsuki in his body.
Originally, he was planning to take advantage of the end of Konoha's collapse plan to acquire the One-Tailed Shukaku, but a huge change occurred in the form of Matt Dai.
But then he can start from other villages. Even if he is not against Bai Yu, he can still capture the four and five tails of Iwagakure Village, the six tails of Kirigakure Village, the two and eight tails of Kumogakure Village, and Taki. There are still six tailed beasts in the Hidden Village for him to capture, which can completely restore a considerable part of Otsutsuki's original chakra.
Now that he has obtained information about the parallel world from Otsutsuki Ishiki's memory, he can explore the parallel world and avoid conflicts with Bai Yu in this world.
His goal is to explore unknown affairs, not to become an enemy of Bai Yu.
"Lord Orochimaru!"
Swish, swish, swish!
The four Sound Ninjas and several Sound Ninja Murakami came to the tree where Orochimaru was and knelt down on one knee.
"Are you the only ones left?" Orochimaru said calmly: "Where's the letter?"
"Lord Orochimaru and Lord Nobu have evacuated safely in advance. The Konoha ninjas counterattacked very quickly. We are the only ninjas left in the Sound Ninja Village."
The sound ninja Murakami lowered his head and responded.
"Yes." Orochimaru nodded: "Look for the letter."
"yes!"
Orochimaru's body flashed and disappeared into the tree crown.
Several others quickly followed.
The group of people quickly walked through the forest and soon came to the natural cave where Xin was hiding.
"Lord Orochimaru!"
Nobu heard the movement in the cave and rushed out. When he saw Orochimaru arriving, he stepped forward to salute excitedly.
The sound of fighting in the sky of Konoha before was described as earth-shattering, which is not an exaggeration at all.
If the battle broke out not in the sky, but on the ground, half of Konoha would probably disappear.
Although Nobu was very confident in Orochimaru's strength, he was still extremely uneasy. He only regretted that he was too weak to help Orochimaru fight.
Now that he saw that Orochimaru was safe, he felt relieved.
"Lord Orochimaru, are you injured?!"
Shin noticed that Orochimaru's aura was much weaker, and there was still a little blood on the clothes on his chest.
"A small injury." Orochimaru smiled: "Let's leave here first. The location of the Sound Ninja Village will probably be discovered soon. This time we will change our base."
Noting Orochimaru's attitude towards Nobu, the four sound ninjas were really envious and jealous. This Nobu was extremely weak. I really don't know what Orochimaru-sama values about him and treats him so well!
"yes!"
Shin came to Orochimaru's side and followed him closely.
Since Shin was the weakest, the group of people rushed slower than before. It was obvious that Orochimaru was deliberately trying to defeat Shin.
In about an hour, Orochimaru and others had already encountered several groups of ninja teams rushing back to Konoha from outside the village. Obviously, these people should have noticed the fighting in Konoha, or they had been notified and rushed back. support.
Although these people were not very strong, and the most powerful team was led by a jounin, Orochimaru had no intention of fighting again, so when he sensed it, he took the initiative to avoid it and let them live.
Soon, they were far away from the location of Konoha Village and heading north.
After Orochimaru jumped onto a thick tree trunk, he suddenly raised his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Stop!"
He jumped down from the tree trunk and landed on the grass in the forest. His face was a little uncertain and he looked around cautiously.
Just now, he felt a terrifying aura that made his hair stand on end. The key was that the aura flickered and disappeared instantly.
But at Orochimaru's current level, especially after mastering the Otsutsuki clan's special concealment technique in Otsutsuki Ishiki's memory, he knew that it was definitely not an illusion.
The other people all fell behind Orochimaru, looking wary and on guard.
Orochimaru's eyes changed, and he looked forward indifferently: "Come out."
Others did not dare to express their anger because they found no sign of an ambush.
"What a keen sense."
A deep voice sounded, and a tall man wearing white feathers walked out of the bushes in front of several people. His hair was gathered on the top of his head, with small braids that resembled a money rat tail, and there was a Roman numeral 4 tattooed under his left eye. , with red earrings hanging on his ears, the whole person looks calm and indifferent.
Although he was very close, no one found any trace of him.
Even in his weak state, Orochimaru only noticed his momentary mood swings and did not find his location later. He just wanted to test it out, so he deliberately spoke to an empty place.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Cixuan. I am here to invite you to join the organization."
There was a smile on Ishiki's face, but his eyes seemed to be able to see through Orochimaru completely, staring at him.
"Jixuan?! Otsutsuki Ishiki!" Orochimaru's pupils tightened and his body quickly tensed up. After devouring Otsutsuki Ishiki, he obtained most of the opponent's memories, so he naturally knew that the opponent came from the ninja world. In a parallel world.
Orochimaru knew all about Otsutsuki Iski's true face, as well as the containers he had used, and the condition of the shell tissue.
If it had been in the past, Orochimaru might have really joined if Ishiki had invited him.
But it’s absolutely impossible now!
Because he has already devoured the Otsutsuki Ipki from the parallel world, the biggest purpose of the Ipki in front of him is to be completely resurrected, and the fastest way is to collect the tailed beasts again.
In addition, there is a method that is faster than collecting tailed beasts, but it only existed in theory at first, and that is to swallow the chakra of another one.
Now Orochimaru has completely swallowed the Otsutsuki Ishiki of the parallel world, and his chakra has been integrated into one.
How could the Yishi in front of him be able to withstand the temptation of such a quick resurrection?
People of the same clan of the Otsutsuki clan generally do not kill each other, but Ishiki has suffered a sneak attack from Kaguya of the same clan, and it took him a thousand years to recover, and his thoughts have completely changed.
The most important thing is that for the people of the Otsutsuki tribe, those who have not swallowed the fruit of the sacred tree and do not have pure Otsutsuki bloodline are inferior creatures and are not of the same race.
Orochimaru is now at his weakest stage, and even in his prime, he can't say that he will definitely be able to defeat the one in front of him.
broken!
"You even know my name. It seems that the chakra in your body really comes from the Otsutsuki clan and is closely related to me. No wonder I feel so familiar!"
Yi Shi was a little surprised.
"What if I refuse?!" Orochimaru said solemnly. The only original chakra remaining in his body was ready to be unleashed. If he followed Ichiki now, it would be equivalent to being captured without a fight.
He couldn't do it.
A smile appeared on Yi Shi's face: "Others can do it, but I'm afraid you can't."
"Letter." Orochimaru stared at Ishiki with his bright yellow vertical pupils, and without looking back he said to the people behind him: "You go first!"
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru, please be careful." Feeling Orochimaru's solemn attitude, Shin knew that the enemies in front of him were incredibly powerful and that staying here would only hinder them, so he immediately responded and prepared to leave with the others.
"Want to leave? I'm afraid that's not possible!"
A joking voice came from behind everyone.
A woman with yellow shawl curly hair appeared behind the group of people.
She was tall, wearing a black cloak and a blue-green top, revealing a large area of snow-white skin on her chest. He looked at Orochimaru and the others with light purple eyes, his eyes were cold and unusual, he wore yellow eye shadow, wore red triangular earrings on his ears, and had the Roman numeral 1 tattooed on the center of his forehead.
The person coming was none other than Diluda from the Shell Organization.
Orochimaru's face darkened. The aura of the woman behind him was very vague, but she was obviously not a weakling after being brought here in one move.
It seems that the other party came prepared and did not notice him just because of impromptu.
boom!
"It seems you are here to die today!"
The chakra around Orochimaru suddenly surged.
Although he is in a weak state now, he must not show any cowardice in his momentum, otherwise he will really have no chance at all.
However, he did not expect that Diluda behind him was a reckless man.
"Go to hell!"
Before Ichiki could react, Diluda shouted and rushed forward, launching an attack on Orochimaru.
Diluda's figure flashed and appeared in front of Orochimaru, punching Orochimaru in the face.
boom--!
Orochimaru turned over and punched Diluda. The terrifying force spread out around the two of them, and the ground under Orochimaru's feet suddenly cracked.
With a loud noise, Diluda's body flew backwards like a cannonball, breaking a dozen large trees that were as thick as two people's arms, and then stopped. Sand, gravel, sawdust, and dust were flying all over the sky.
Several people around Orochimaru couldn't help but cheer, but Orochimaru looked at the direction in which Diluda flew out with a solemn expression.
When the smoke dissipated, Diluda appeared in front of Orochimaru in a few flashes. Except for being a little dirty, he was completely unscathed.
"Damn stinky man!" Diluda patted the dust on his body and was about to attack again.
"Wait a moment."
Ishiki suddenly spoke, and Diluda stopped.
He looked Orochimaru up and down, and then said: "It seems that you consume a lot. Otherwise, if you have chakra similar to mine, your blow just now will definitely hit Diluda hard. Joining the Shell Organization will be good for us all. ,what do you think?"
Orochimaru sneered, exuding an extremely dangerous aura.
His attitude is very obvious.
"Let me kill him!" Diluda said coldly. Seeing that Ichiki on the side did not say anything to stop him, he directly attacked Orochimaru again.
Bang!
A pebble made a sharp sound as it broke through the air and hit the trunk of a nearby tree. The pebble was deeply embedded in the trunk.
Among the team following Bai Yu back, Ziyuan, Guangzi and Taiyi were guarding the rear.
"Taiyi, can you calm down a little bit?"
When Guangzi saw Taiyi bumping the stones in her hands from time to time and throwing them towards the tree trunks nearby, making noise, she finally couldn't help but make a sound.
"It's such a pity this time. The battle ended in the middle, and we haven't seen the last wonderful battle." Taiyi said with some disappointment. While speaking, he broke off a small piece from the stone in his left hand. Put the stone in your right hand and bump it.
"What a pity. With your current strength, you might be affected if you just watch. Just calm down!"
Photon slapped Taiyi on the back of the head, stopping him from continuing to throw stones.
"Why did you hit me again?!" Taiyi said with a grimace, facing Photon's vicious look, he still threw the stone in his hand in front of him and patted the dirt on his hand, "Is this okay?"
With that said, Taichi came behind Shion and made a face at Mitsuko.
The two were arguing for a while, and Taichi suddenly said mysteriously: "There are so many rumors about dad circulating in the ninja world. Who do you think is more powerful compared with dad, Orochimaru and Matt Dai? It's a pity that dad didn't take action. .”
"I think dad is more powerful, but mom is the most powerful!"
Photon said.
"That's right." Taiyi couldn't help but nodded.
boom--!
Suddenly there was an earth-shattering and terrifying explosion in the distance, a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and the ground trembled as if there was an earthquake.
"what happened?!"
"Is there an enemy?"
"what is that?!"
"Oh My God!"
The eyes of everyone in the team were attracted.
"Don't mess up! Stay where you are!" Bai Yu's voice suddenly came from the front, and the commotion in the team quickly stopped.
I saw white feathers soaring into the sky, flying into the sky, looking into the distance: "That's..."
Bai Yu quickly fell down, returned to the team, came to Ziyuan, Guangzi, and Taiyi, and said: "You guys continue on your way, I'll go take a look!"
As he said that, Bai Yu's figure flashed, and the next second he appeared a hundred meters away.
Taiyi looked at Bai Yu's back with excitement on his face, a little ready to make a move.
"Don't follow me!"
Bai Yu's voice appeared in Taiyi's ears.
Taiyi: "..."
