The reputation of the three ninjas is as thunderous as the ninjas of Konoha.
Although Orochimaru did not arrive in person, he just sent a small snake to deliver the message.
But neither Nara Langui nor the pharmacist Nonoyu will ignore the existence of this scroll.
Not to mention that the recorded information on this scroll was specially written using encrypted text at the root!
Nara Langui could think with his toes that Orochimaru's sudden visit was absolutely inseparable from the roots.
Pharmacist Nonoyu took the scroll, translated the text on the scroll very skillfully, and relayed it at the same time.
"What this scroll says is that Lord Orochimaru invited me and Lan Gui to meet in the forest on the outskirts of Kikyo City."
Just a meeting?
Nara Langui was a little surprised, and asked the key point: "Does this scroll mention the existence of 'roots'?"
"No." Medicine Master Nonoyu read the scroll again and replied with certainty.
Nara Langui's brows wrinkled slightly.
Orochimaru deliberately used the encrypted text at the root to contact Kikyo Orphanage. The meaning behind this is self-evident——
He was ordered by his roots, so he took the action he did today.
Nara Langui knew that there was some "unclear" relationship between Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo.
It's just that he didn't expect that they would have hooked up before the Third Ninja War started...
But the problem is, according to the bad relationship between Nara Langui, pharmacist Nonou and the roots.
If Danzo Shimura really sent Orochimaru here, the other party's contact attitude would definitely not be so polite——
wrong!
Nara Langui suddenly remembered the fat nun who disappeared for no reason, and asked again.
"Sister Nonoyu, do you think the nun's disappearance has something to do with Orochimaru?"
"A nun is just an ordinary person. Lord Orochimaru should not..."
Yakushi Nonoyu was originally inclined to be a dignified Sannin and would not act like threatening others with the lives of ordinary people.
But at this moment, Shimura Danzo's bandaged face and his previous threatening remarks suddenly flashed through her mind.
Pharmacist No Naiyu frowned and changed his words: "I can't be sure either."
After some discussion, Nara Langui and pharmacist Nonoyu decided to go to the suburban forest together for an appointment.
However, considering the potential risks of meeting Orochimaru, the two of them still made some preparations in advance.
…
When Nara and Gui arrived at the agreed place in the forest on the outskirts of the city.
Orochimaru, wearing a green Jonin vest and a Konoha forehead protector, was waiting here alone.
"Did you really come to keep your appointment?"
Orochimaru's iconic husky voice sounded in the forest, and the birds fluttered away.
"Yakushi-san, Nara-kun."
"Lord Orochimaru."
Pharmacist Nonoyu took a step forward and responded according to social etiquette.
Nara Langui was also well-educated, but while retaliating, he had been using his [lacquer eyes] to observe the surrounding environment.
Somewhat surprisingly, there was no strange chakra flowing in the surrounding woods.
There is really only Orochimaru here.
"Lord Orochimaru, please invite us two over..."
Yakushi Noonoyu planned to continue to be polite, but Orochimaru obviously had no such leisure.
"You two must also know the reason and purpose of my coming here, right?"
Orochimaru stretched out his slender blood-red snake tongue and gently licked the corner of his mouth.
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold and chilling aura started from where he was standing and struck in the direction of Nara Langui and Pharmacist Nonoyu.
Medicine Master Noonoyu's pupils shrank slightly, and she felt that a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood suddenly flashed before her eyes. The rich smell of blood made people almost nauseous, and her delicate body hidden under the nun's robe trembled slightly.
Nara Langui also felt the approach of this shocking murderous intent, but his mental strength had already surpassed the A level, and his on-the-spot performance was more stable than that of the pharmacist Nonou next to him.
"It's just pure murderous intent, but there is no actual murderous intention."
Nara Langui looked at Orochimaru from a distance and said calmly.
"Is Shimura Danzo's order to threaten the two of us?"
"Hehehe..."
Orochimaru put down his momentum, let out a chuckle, and observed Nara Langui with interest.
"Nara-kun, you are indeed the same as I learned before, you are a somewhat overconfident boy.
"In any case, Danzo Shimura is a powerful village elder. We need to respect him, right?"
Nara Langui smiled noncommittally.
Everyone refers to Shimura Danzo by name, and no one can make fun of anyone for looking down on the other person.
"Of course there are jonins in the village who are worthy of respect, such as the director of the Platycodon Orphanage, and the two generations of monitors of the jounin class."
Nara Langui did not hide his contempt and hostility at all.
"But Danzo Shimura, is he worthy?"
"I'm really becoming more and more interested in you, Nara-kun."
The curious light in Orochimaru's eyes became more intense.
"Elder Danzo Shimura did give me a mission order, the kind of mission you should all be aware of.
"After all, you guys have experienced this before."
As soon as Orochimaru said these words.
Pharmacist Nonoyu subconsciously touched the weapons in his ninja bag.
Nara Langui also focused his eyes and prepared himself mentally for the battle.
But Orochimaru suddenly changed the subject.
"But Danzo Shimura has his ideas, and I have mine."
Having said this, Orochimaru took the initiative to extend his sickly white palm towards Nara Langui, and his hoarse voice was filled with a poppy-like temptation.
"Nara-kun, I know you are a unique child.
"To a genius like you, the Nara clan is like a speck of duckweed on a pond.
"Its strength is too weak and weak, and it cannot support the vigorous growth of a young tree, or even withstand the turbulence of too many winds and waves, so...
"Want to come under my command and see a broader landscape together, and taste the new trend that shakes the times?"
Yakushi Nonoyu looked at the Sannin opposite in astonishment.
She never expected that Orochimaru's goal was to recruit Nara Langui!
However, facing the recruitment of the Sannin, who was almost at the top of Konoha's strength pyramid, Nara Langui just chuckled.
"Lord Orochimaru, do you know?"
He suddenly started talking about seemingly insignificant topics.
"After graduating from the ninja school, I was unable to become a qualified ninja due to physical problems.
"But with the arrangements made by the Ninja School teachers, I successfully entered the animal training and rehabilitation class of the Medical Department."
"I have already learned about Nara-kun's life trajectory from Elder Shimura Danzo."
Orochimaru didn't show any displeasure, he just said cooperatively.
"But I believe that with Nara-kun's level, I'm afraid he won't stay in the animal training and recuperation class for too long, right?"
"It's definitely shorter than expected."
Nara Langui responded happily, telling top-secret information that only he, Tsunade and Inuzukazuma knew.
"I was fired before I even started working."
"..."
Even with Orochimaru's psychological quality, he almost showed a dull expression after hearing this.
You leave it here and leave it here!
"Now that Nara-kun has left the animal training and recuperation class, he has regained his free status."
Orochimaru said patiently.
"Or...Nara-kun has joined another department?"
"To be precise, I don't know."
Nara Langui spread his hands.
"The last boss who had access to my ninja files was probably the director of the medical department.
"In other words, if I have to say it, I should be Tsunade-hime's subordinate now."
Is this guy a subordinate of Tsunade?
What a joke! ?
Orochimaru's pupils shrank slightly.
Why was this matter not mentioned at all in the root intelligence network?
"so……"
Nara Langui deliberately put on a curious posture.
"Lord Orochimaru, are you going to discuss recruiting me with Lord Feeling?"
Looking at the smiling boy opposite, the smile on Orochimaru's sickly white face gradually faded away.
"Nara-kun, do you think that with Tsunade standing behind me, I won't do anything to you?"
"how come……"
Nara Langui waved his hand. He still knew how cold-blooded Aunt Snake—no, it should be Uncle Snake now—was.
"I just want to say that we are two completely different types of ninjas.
"Lord Orochimaru, you aspire to become a new trend that shakes the times.
"But for me, life on the pond is leisurely enough."
Looking at Nara Langui's attitude of coveting comfort and not wanting to make progress.
A faint feeling of jealousy and dissatisfaction arose in Orochimaru's heart for no reason.
The war is breaking out, and people are dying every moment, turning into the most insignificant dust.
How come you, a brat from the Nara clan, can eat all day long and have nothing to do? !
"hehe……"
Orochimaru laughed again, but this time his laughter was obviously much colder than before.
"I will convey Nara-kun's thoughts to Tsunade later.
"But now...let me give you a small gift!"
It's too late, it's fast.
Orochimaru's neck suddenly stretched like rubber, his head "flyed" directly from his neck, and his long black hair danced all over the sky like a black snake.
Like a poisonous snake that chooses and devours people, Orochimaru opened his bloody mouth and bit hard at Nara Langui's body.
"Lan Gui!"
Pharmacist Nonoyu subconsciously exclaimed. She wanted to take a step forward and block Nara Langui.
But unfortunately, her speed was still a bit slower than Orochimaru.
Orochimaru's snake neck tightly wrapped around Nara Langui's body, and the two sharp fangs in the bloody mouth, the tips condensed with a few drops of "venom", emitted an awe-inspiring cold light under the sunlight.
