Countless figures fell down on the empty wilderness.
At first glance, it seems that there is no end in sight.
These people wear uniform clothing and uniform ninja forehead protectors engraved with musical note marks, which all show their identity - Otogakure ninjas.
The black-haired boy sitting on the back of one of the fallen sound ninjas had a slightly more mature and steady face than his peers, and his cold black pupils gave him a cold and freezing aura that made people feel uncomfortable. When you get close to him, you can't help but shudder.
"One hundred and ninety... or two hundred... In the end, are the ninjas in Sound Ninja Village only capable of this?"
Sasuke glanced at the whole place with a stern and arrogant look, and found that except for himself, all the sound ninjas in the 'field' had fallen, and no one could stand up under his attack.
Seeing this scene, Sasuke couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer that looked like disdain.
Although the Sound Ninja Village was founded by Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, after getting deeper, I discovered that the ninja power in this village was not as strong as imagined.
One of the forces established by the 'Rebellious Ninja', the other led the Kingdom of Demons and severely defeated the ninja coalition of the four major countries from the front.
This made Sasuke very suspicious, did the ninja with the title of Sannin have some moisture in it?
In addition to Orochimaru himself, there is also the ignorant Yakushi Kabuto. He has not yet seen a ninja that can make people shine in the Sound Ninja Village.
The four sound ninjas could only barely catch the eye.
The rest of them are even more incompetent and can break into pieces at the touch of a touch. In actual combat with these people, you will not feel the joy of fighting at all.
Although it was not easy to win, and the power of the curse seal was used, nearly two hundred ninjas did not even have the ability to scratch his body. In Sasuke's view, if an enemy came to attack the Sound Ninja Village, these ninjas only needed one If you meet them face to face, you will be defeated by the enemy.
It's okay to deal with ordinary bandits, but if it collides with a powerful ninja organization, the result can be imagined.
Bang, bang, applause came from not far away.
A figure walked slowly from the direction outside the venue, it was Kabuto.
While clapping, he looked at Sasuke with admiration, and smiled in an exclamation tone: "You are indeed a ninja who has inherited the Uchiha bloodline. Sasuke-kun, congratulations, your strength has become stronger again. All of a sudden Clear two hundred chuunin...your strength is considered to be the strongest among the jounin."
Even...above him as a medical staff.
By using tactics and the environment, he could indeed kill two hundred chunin, but he would never be able to crush two hundred chunin from the front like Sasuke single-handedly.
And he was able to achieve injury without dying... This kind of control is more terrifying than killing them directly.
"Chunin?" Sasuke's expression was cold, with a hint of ridicule: "If you didn't say they were chunin, I would have thought they were chicks who had just graduated from the ninja school."
Sasuke's cold words made the Oto-nin who was sitting under him feel angry and wanted to stand up hard to prove that he was not a fledgling who had just graduated from the ninja school, but a genuine chuunin.
but--
An electric current climbed up his body, and with a scream, the sound ninja was directly stunned by the lightning. His eyes turned white upward, saliva flowed from his mouth, and he instantly lost consciousness.
"Indeed, with your current strength, being a Chuunin-level ninja may no longer be able to meet your actual combat needs. After all, you have been here for a year, and Lord Orochimaru alone has spent a lot of time on you. A lot of hard work.”
Kabuto pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, showed his usual smile, and smiled at Sasuke.
"Where's Orochimaru?"
Sasuke asked the question.
He left the Oto-nin's back, patted the dust on his clothes, and stood up.
On the belt behind his back was a long straight-edged knife.
The blade is put into the scabbard, gathering the edge of the blade.
This is the Kusanagi sword.
A sword-like weapon that can cut through iron like clay.
It is one of the many weapons that Orochimaru collected when he traveled in the ninja world in the past.
But according to what Sasuke observed, Orochimaru held more than one Kusanagi sword, and some of them even had special abilities.
His Kusanagi sword was personally given to him by Orochimaru to increase his fighting ability.
It is said that the Kusanagi sword held by the Demon Country was also lost from Orochimaru.
As far as weapons are concerned, Sasuke is very satisfied with this Kusanagi sword.
Although it only has the three characteristics of cutting iron like clay, being indestructible, and conducting chakra, in Sasuke's opinion, it is already a magic weapon that is hard to find in the ninja world.
With this weapon, he will be more relaxed when facing enemies in the future.
"Orochimaru is very busy at work. He should be studying the genes of ancient creatures there now. Therefore, it is up to me to supervise your work."
Kabuto said with a smile.
After all, ordinary ninjas cannot supervise Sasuke, and just being close to him is dangerous.
This frightened Kabuto. If he continued to grow at this rate, it wouldn't take long for Sasuke's strength to reach a new level.
By then, I'm afraid even Orochimaru, the 'owner', may not be able to suppress the opponent.
Lord Orochimaru is really too random. If he doesn't restrict this lone wolf, he will be hurt sooner or later. Doudou was secretly wary.
Although he is a supervisor, he does not have the power to restrict Sasuke's freedom, nor does he have the power.
"So, what are we going to do next? Are you, the supervisor, here to personally experience my strength?"
The pupils that were originally black and white immediately turned into a red three-magatama Sharingan, which was bright and eye-catching.
Sasuke's eyes were fixed on Kabuto.
He felt more interested in fighting Kabuto than fighting these Chuunin.
He wanted to know how powerful Kabuto was.
"After the previous battle, you have wasted a lot of chakra..."
Kabuto looked for a reason to refuse.
"This is not a problem... After the curse seal is released, the chakra will be replenished immediately."
Sasuke said this while watching Kabuto's every move with an expressionless expression.
He reached his right hand behind his back and grasped the handle of the Kusanagi sword.
The Kusanagi sword was partially exposed from its scabbard, shining with a snow-white light in the cold wilderness.
Sharp murderous aura overflowed from Sasuke's body.
"Next, I'm going to take you to see someone... to let you enter the next stage of training."
Kabuto lowered his head and said.
There was no fighting spirit in him.
He felt very headache due to the strong fighting spirit bursting out from Sasuke.
He is just an ordinary medical ninja, why should he be in trouble with himself?
What a troublesome brat.
Hearing Kabuto's words, Sasuke narrowed his eyes, but the action of drawing the sword did stop.
Kabuto secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This guy Sasuke... is indeed a problem child.
"Next stage of training?"
"Yes... that's magic."
Kabuto raised his head and said with serious eyes.
The wind blew across the wilderness, and Sasuke's eyes swept over him sharply, and he put the Kusanagi sword back into its scabbard.
Kabuto glanced at the sound ninjas who were still wailing on the ground, ignored them, turned around and left, leading the way.
While leading Sasuke the way, he said to Sasuke who was following him:
"Among Lord Orochimaru's subordinates, there is a very special child. His name is Jugo."
"Jugo?"
Sasuke raised a brow.
He has been coming to Orochimaru for more than a year, but he has never heard of this person.
"What's so special about him? Why can he let me learn magic?"
Sasuke asked.
After all, even Orochimaru has not learned the power of Senjutsu.
How could a subordinate of Orochimaru do this?
If it could really be done, why didn't Orochimaru do it himself instead of giving him such a good opportunity?
Sasuke was filled with doubts.
But on the surface, he still has to look cold and arrogant.
According to Kakashi, the more this happens, the more Orochimaru appreciates it.
For that Sannin, being 'unruly' seemed to be a proof of ability.
Of course, the premise is that the ninja is recognized by Orochimaru.
"Zhongwu is different from normal people. He is born with the ability to absorb natural energy."
Kabuto gave this piece of news.
"!?"
Born to absorb natural energy?
Sasuke's pupils dilated slightly, then returned to normal after a while.
It was Kabuto's news that really surprised him.
Although natural energy is an introduction to magic, it does not mean that natural energy is easy to perceive and absorb.
When I was practicing natural energy, I suffered all kinds of hardships.
For example, when it comes to letting go of distracting thoughts, I haven't gotten started for a long time just because of Itachi.
A person who can naturally absorb natural energy. This kind of physique is probably even rarer and more precious than the blood inheritance limit.
Sasuke never expected that such a character existed in Orochimaru's hands.
"In other words, he knows magic?"
Being able to naturally absorb natural energy means that the person named 'Zhongwu' directly skips the previous steps when practicing celestial beings and enters the advanced stage of the fusion of chakra and natural energy.
It can be said that the other party is born with the ability to perform magic!
"How is that possible? Sasuke-kun, you are overthinking. Jugo does not know senjutsu."
Kabuto shook his head and smiled at Sasuke's guess, full of helplessness.
"What's the meaning?"
"Senjutsu is not that simple. According to the information collected by Orochimaru, among the current human group, the only ninja who can perfectly control the power of senjutsu is the Kingdom of Oni...and the number is extremely rare. Those who can control natural energy, It does not mean that you can control Xianjutsu. Xianjutsu has extremely high demands on the ninja's chakra control, willpower, spiritual realm, chakra amount, etc. The amount of chakra alone has caused countless people to lose Qualified to practice immortal arts."
Kabuto said with a wry smile.
Although with his chakra capacity, he has barely reached the threshold for practicing immortal arts... but in practice, it will be much more difficult than imagined.
"Hmph, it seems he's not a great guy."
Sasuke snorted.
Make him happy in vain.
Kabuto continued to shake his head.
"No, just the ability to absorb natural energy is already better than most ninjas. And Jugo's situation is a bit special... By the way, speaking of which, you don't know one thing."
"What?"
Sasuke subconsciously asked back.
"The girl in your Class 7 named Haruno Sakura also defected from Konoha and joined the Kingdom of Demons."
Kabuto's words stopped Sasuke in his tracks.
This news was too sudden. Compared with what he heard a while ago, the news that the Kingdom of Ghosts had defeated the ninja coalition of the four major countries was more surprising to him.
That Sakura actually...
How can it be?
What happened to Konoha?
"Her parents were spies from the Kingdom of Oni. During Konoha's campaign to clean up spies a while ago, her parents left Konoha and fled towards the Kingdom of Oni. It was also at that time that Haruno Sakura left with them."
"Is that so?"
After receiving Kabuto's explanation, Sasuke calmed down.
"What, do you have any thoughts? I can also tell you something about Naruto's situation."
Kabuto asked with a smile over his shoulder.
"Boring. Whether it's Sakura or Naruto, they are all a group of guys who act impulsively when they are emotionally excited...and I am not interested in the things of these idiots."
Sasuke replied calmly.
"That's such a pity. Okay, it will take quite a while to get to the northern stronghold where Zhongwu is located. We will resupply in the village before going there... In addition, we will live there for a few months. If you have anything to bring, just do it quickly. We will meet here in an hour."
Arriving at the entrance of the Sound Ninja Village, Kabuto said to Sasuke next to him.
Sasuke did not hesitate and walked towards his residence in the Sound Ninja Village. Although it is true that there are not many things to bring, you still need to prepare a lot.
◎
Sound Ninja Village, Laboratory.
The flesh-and-blood body as huge as a hill is a strange beast that resembles some kind of ultra-ancient creature.
From the outside, it looks like a large psychic beast.
However, its abnormal monster shape and appearance give people an extremely evil and corrupt feeling.
These beasts and monsters are surrounding the huge pool of blood, using their sharp teeth to gnaw at the mountains of human corpses.
These human corpses were wearing gray prison uniforms, were thin and had black curse marks engraved on their bodies. They were obviously failed experiments.
As soon as Kabuto came in, he saw such a terrifying thing and couldn't help but feel a little nauseous.
Orochimaru, who was standing next to the huge beast, had a headache.
This adult still likes to think about these strange things as always.
This thing can no longer be viewed with the thinking of normal creatures.
"Is this the creature called 'Dragon Beast'?"
Kabuto came over and asked.
"No, it's just a degraded beast created by injecting dragon beast genes and supplemented by Yin-Yang Escape. In terms of power, it still can't be compared with large psychic beasts. But if a certain amount is energized, it can also be used as a Good cannon fodder to use."
Orochimaru smiled without looking back.
"But as a result... there are far fewer experimental subjects available. The original living subjects used for experiments are very rare..."
It's not that Kabuto can't bear it, it's that he doesn't feel it.
People will not remember how much they have eaten, how much water they have drunk, or how many ants they have trampled to death.
In all the education he received from childhood to adulthood, there was no respect for 'life' at all.
In this turbulent era, no matter men, women, old or young, life does not have the slightest 'weight'. This is the consensus of most people.
Some are just a bunch of numbers gathered together.
Numbers exist in the world for the so-called truth...
Except for that dean...but even that dean, in the end...
Thinking of this, Kabuto's eyes looked a little sad.
"You can grab as many experimental subjects as you want from anywhere. How is Sasuke's condition?"
Orochimaru only cared about this problem.
When he embarks on this path, he will no longer have any respect for such an ambiguous thing as 'life'.
Kabuto's compassion was just ridiculous.
It seemed that after being brainwashed by himself and Danzo, this guy still held grudges against the teachings of the past 'dean' and still had his last hope left.
Therefore, that kind of ridiculous fool will be abandoned at the root and die early.
In this world, good and bad people cannot live long at all. They will only be manipulated and used by others, and finally abandoned and become rotting corpses.
If Kabuto continues to retain such ridiculous human thinking, he will never be able to surpass him for the rest of his life and can only live as his puppet.
Thinking of this, Orochimaru felt somewhat bored.
Perhaps because he got a better 'work' - Sasuke, he felt a little disgusted with Kabuto's work that he had admired in the past.
Kabuto straightened his face and replied:
"We are packing our luggage, and we will take him to Chonggo's stronghold next."
"Really? It looks like things will become very interesting after this."
Orochimaru laughed, his long tongue sticking out of his mouth and licking the corners of his mouth.
"That's right."
Kabuto responded according to Orochimaru's wishes.
"His growth rate has exceeded my initial expectations. His talents are indeed not weaker than Itachi's. As for the genocide, Itachi, as well as the few high-level advisors and elders who continue to survive in Konoha... will become the most power-hungry Good catalyst!”
Orochimaru was so sure.
"What Orochimaru-sama means is that Sasuke will obtain senjutsu?"
Kabuto became curious.
"Let's wait and see about this kind of thing."
Orochimaru did not respond directly, but kept it secret.
Then, he waved his hand in disinterest.
"Okay, these days, you continue to supervise Sasuke. When I finish my work here, I will go to the northern stronghold to find you."
"yes."
Kabuto glanced at the large beasts that continued to gnaw on human bones and respectfully stepped back.
◎
The country of ghosts.
Residential villa area.
Liuli was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room, turning on the TV. She was bored with the remote control and flipping through the programs on the TV.
Although I didn't pay attention to the programs on TV, as long as I did this, it seemed that the huge home would not seem too empty.
After all, in such a large villa building, before Bai Shi came back, she and Tian Yunv were the only two people, which did seem a little lonely.
Lei Ming Wan, who can usually still be a 'dog' running around in circles, is still lying on the experimental table with its new body, and it is still far from being reborn.
As for Yiji and Asuka, they are also busy with their own affairs. They probably won't come back until they finish the things at hand.
The same goes for the woman with white eyes. She is stationed at the border of the Earth Kingdom and cannot come back from the front line until the compensation from the Earth Kingdom is officially implemented.
At that time, we can occasionally have an afternoon tea party to pass the time.
Thinking of this, Liuli couldn't help but sigh, whether she was a little old.
I always feel that today's life is very much like old age.
My children, who are about to reach adulthood, just want to pass the time by having afternoon tea with their mortal enemy...
The days of ease are really depressing.
"I'm back."
The man of the house is back.
As usual, he threw his white coat on the clothes rack at the entrance, put on his shoes and walked into the living room.
In the kitchen, Tian Yunu is washing vegetables and preparing tonight's dinner.
"Liuli, thank you for your hard work on the negotiations over there."
Between his eyebrows, he saw that Liuli seemed a little tired. Baishi came over with a smile, sat on the sofa, and hugged her delicate body skillfully.
Liuli struggled slightly and then stopped moving.
"It's nothing, I'm just following the established plan. On the other hand, the Country of Wind, why don't you get the lost land back?"
Liuli asked.
"It's not necessary. Anyway, the bit of land that was taken back was not very big, and it was not a resource area. It would be more cost-effective to exchange that bit of land for the resource exploitation rights in some places in the Kingdom of Wind. And there is one more thing, That is, if we launch troops against the Kingdom of Wind in the future, we can declare war in the name of 'recovering our homeland' and gain the upper hand."
Shiraishi explained this.
Among the compensations requested from various countries this time, only monetary compensation is required for Kirigakure and Konoha, as well as tariff collection, which will benefit the country of ghosts, and the opening of some ports in coastal areas to the country of ghosts.
The Kingdom of Earth, on the other hand, simply and roughly eroded and swallowed the territory based on the above.
Among these, the conditions for the Country of Wind are slightly different.
That is, in this war, a small area was captured by the Kingdom of Wind. After a long period of argumentation, and with the compromise and negotiation between the two parties, the mining rights in some areas of the Kingdom of Wind were conditioned. , it was transferred by the Kingdom of Ghosts, allowing the Kingdom of Wind to 'recover' it.
On the surface, it seems that the Kingdom of Wind and Sunagakure did not suffer any losses in the war. On the contrary, they only paid money and opened some unimportant ports to permanently conquer a part of the country. Although this part of the country could not even build a small Zhendu was very reluctant...but it did give the Wind Country and Sunagakure a sweet taste.
And something like an agreement, once signed, is meant to be torn up.
Especially in this tense situation where every big country is starting to make moves, no one really takes this agreement seriously.
All we need is to retreat and gain more development space and time.
Regarding this, the senior leaders of the Ghost Kingdom and the Alliance Army were also aware of this, but they had never pointed it out.
What the Alliance Army thinks is that the Kingdom of Ghosts will win this time, but it may not win next time.
Liuli could understand it to some extent, but needed further confirmation.
Then, she remembered something again, looked at Baishi and asked:
"Speaking of which, when I came back, Feiniao sent me a letter saying that you had added a lot of workload to him for no reason. Is this true?"
Originally, she would not ask about this kind of thing.
But since Feiniao took the initiative to send the message, as a mother, she naturally wanted to know the specific situation.
Although there was no specific statement in the letter, there was deep resentment between the lines.
"?"
That bastard dared to file a complaint?
Shiraishi's first thought was this.
"How could it be? I just want to hone his abilities. There are specialized medical ninjas over there, and nothing will happen to him. As our children, we have to endure hardships more than ordinary people. You don't want Asuka to grow up. Let’s ruin Uchiha’s reputation.?”
Bai Shi responded without changing his expression.
"Well. In that case..."
Under Shiraishi's surprised gaze, Liuli hugged Shiraishi's back neck with both hands, and put her right thigh on Shiraishi's leg. She exhaled softly and bit her pink thin lips.
"Then let me increase your workload appropriately..."
With that said, Shiraishi's body fell on the sofa.
With the delicate and slender body pressed against her, Liuli bit the zipper on Shiraishi's clothes with her teeth, showing a slight smile, and the breathing in her lips became heavier.
The zipper slowly pulled downwards.
When Shiraishi saw this scene, he immediately had a very strong physiological reaction.
Ayane is not here.
If he fights alone, no matter how fierce Liuli's attack is, he still has a very high chance of winning.
Thinking of this, Baishi didn't hesitate, turned around and replaced Liuli lying on the sofa.
The zipper of the clothes was still in her mouth and she didn't let go.
Liuli's eyes were filled with moving waves, filled with infinite tenderness and sweetness.
After a long time, my body became warm and no longer empty.
My own blood is indeed still young and energetic!
It is a kind of supreme happiness like being among thousands of troops, fighting to the death with a powerful enemy!
…
In the kitchen, Tianyu Nu silently put down the work of washing vegetables.
She walked through the entrance hall and stood outside the door of the villa, like a loyal gatekeeper, sticking to her post.
It seems that tonight's dinner will be postponed again.
