'Boom! ! ,
Accompanied by a dull impact, the entire outer surface of the arena was shaken by a circle of vibrations.
The collapse of stone pillars and the falling of gravel caused an ANBU ninja who was running among them to stop himself.
Because if he advances for a moment, he will definitely be buried by these falling rocks.
But at this moment,
Compared with the towering rock pillars that collapsed due to the impact, what he cared more about was the concrete object in his field of vision: a huge crystal that lay in front of him, like a broken mountaintop! !
It was this thing that was beyond ordinary human cognition that hit the stone pillars raised on this land, and caused the terrifying scene at this moment.
The eyes under the mask burst out with a cold light,
This familiar situation prompted Kabuto Yakushi to recall a person, a woman with whom he had never dealt with each other when they were in the same power.
But now,
The only companionship between them must have been broken. This meeting must be just opposing enemies.
"Ah, why would ANBU's loyal dog want to escape from the battlefield at this time?"
"Don't you have to defend and protect your Hokage-sama?"
Joking and sarcastic voices sounded at the right time,
However, when we look down at the nature of this mockery, what is hidden within it is indifference and hostility that is difficult to conceal.
"Ah,"
Amid a sneer, the man in ANBU attire slowly turned around, and with his raised palm, he pinched a corner of the white mask and lifted it.
The thin lenses reflect the rare skylight in the stone forest. Her short gray hair is tied into a bird's tail at the end. She is still wearing the ANBU's standard ninja uniform, but there is a forehead protector with musical notes carved on it tied to her forehead.
"It's been a while, but your mouth is still as vicious as ever, Guren."
He raised the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then complained to the woman standing on the stone peak.
"oh?"
"It's really you, Kabuto Yakushi."
"I told you why as soon as I got here, I felt a sense of disgust all over my body."
Hearing this, Honglian's pupils narrowed slightly. Although there was no violent emotion on his face, his words were not weak at all.
However, at this moment, Yakushi Kabuto had already shifted his attention from the other party's words to the forehead protector with the word "demon" tied between his forehead.
For a moment, the complaints in Yu Zhi's voice immediately turned into biting sarcasm without any concealment:
"You, who used to be obsessed with becoming Lord Orochimaru's first reincarnation vessel, actually changed your will."
"Fortunately, I thought you could be firm in your heart and guard Orochimaru-sama's territory, and would rather die than surrender."
"What kind of promise did that guy make to you?"
However, at the end of the sentence, Yakushi Kabuto's voice suddenly became low and confused.
Because he really wanted to know what kind of promise Uchiha Ara made to Guren, which caused him to change his long-cherished wish to become the reincarnation body of Lord Orochimaru.
After all, simply wanting to conquer this troublesome woman with force and death is simply impossible.
Even bluntly,...
Previously, this woman's loyalty to Orochimaru was like a loyal dog raised since childhood!
As for why I want to know,
It's because that night, that person was in my ears, no, to be precise, it left potential hatred and real temptation deep in my heart that is difficult to erase easily.
【Oh, right. 】
[I also saw the person you are following and loyal to from the memory of Aburame Ryoma. 】
【In other words,】
[At that time, Yakushi Nonoyu was ordered to go to Iwagakure Village to eliminate Konoha spies, and he was also aware of it. 】
[However, this guy said nothing and did nothing.
】
Afterwards, Kabuto kept thinking.
If Orochimaru could tell Yakushi Nonoyu his true identity in the first step of the mission arrangement, or if he could explain when he injured the man by mistake.
Then, it will definitely not stop healing her.
Perhaps my life and the lives of my companions in the orphanage will be turned around and changed.
Hidden hatred:
[One of the reasons for all this is due to Lord Orochimaru's indifference! ! 】
"That person just unlocked the memory sealed deep in my memory."
"Let me clearly see the true nature of Orochimaru."
Guren, who was asked, did not avoid the question, nor did he fully answer the promise.
Because she would not let dangerous people like Kabuto Yakushi grasp her weakness and turn it into a bargaining chip to threaten her.
Even if he really wants to use this personal assistant of Orochimaru to find the Yuukimaru in his mouth and complete his own salvation.
But that was only after he was captured and tortured.
"that's it?"
Kabuto Yakushi scoffed at the woman's simple, standard answer, and the deep distrust appeared directly on his face.
After all, the explanation of seeing through Orochimaru's true nature is simply too funny.
After following the former for many years, what the other party did has long been seen through by them as subordinates and knives, and they are even familiar with it.
Even so, isn't this woman still eager to become Lord Orochimaru's first vessel?
[Now, if one day, you can’t find the meaning of continuing to exist by Orochimaru’s side. 】
【Then, come to me. 】
【At that time,】
【I will give you a new meaning of existence. 】
The sudden memories that popped up in his mind once again tugged on his nerves.
Compared with the person's desire to accurately grasp his inner desire, the above is a clumsy lie.
"It seems that you still have some secrets in your heart that you don't want to share with me."
"Is it because the promised thing still exists in Orochimaru-sama's hands, so you are afraid that I will destroy it in advance?"
"hehe,"
"It seems that during the days after being abandoned by Lord Orochimaru and sent to a border prison, you still haven't made much progress. All your emotions are written on your face."
Observing the distinct changes on the woman’s face,
Kabuto Yakushi confidently raised the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a confident smile that saw through everything overflowed from the corner of his mouth. ….
"You chose to surrender without mercy."
"I still banned him and took him back."
After hearing such a response, Guren instantly regained his previous indifference and hostility, and pieces of ice crystal shurikens emanating from his side appeared.
"Feel sorry,"
"I don't want to choose either of these two."
Seeing the woman's increasingly angry expression, the smile on Yakushi Kabuto's face became brighter and brighter.
He knew he had guessed correctly.
But what kind of thing is it? He would have to look for it after he went back.
As for that invitation, Kabuto Yakushi was not ready to respond right now.
Because even if there is some resentment towards Orochimaru in Yu Zhi's heart, from the current point of view, the other party is still his dream and the meaning of his existence! !
Where will that adult's desire and research on life ultimately lead?
He wanted to see it with his own eyes.
'Boohoo! ,
The ice crystal shuriken hovering around Guren flew towards Yakushi Kabuto without any reason.
Since the other party has already responded, there is no need for her to continue communicating.
catch,
No,
Life or death doesn't matter anymore.
Not only that Lord, but also the Blood Dragon Eye among the Lord's subordinates can pry out all the memories of the person in front of him!
"Since you don't want to choose,"
"Then, just die in the eternal ice crystal."
Cold voices fell, and the slender fingers joined together to form a seal.
"Crystal Escape·Crystal Five Sealing Prison."
I saw that the bottom of the dark stone forest where Yakushi Kabuto was standing suddenly burst out with dazzling ice crystal light.
A crystal clear ice crystal cage suddenly appeared and sealed it inside.
Capture completed!
Later, we only need to find out the relevant memories about Yougui Maru from his mind.
but,
Just when Honglian thought he had achieved something, an unpleasant feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
And the source of that unpleasant feeling comes from within my own ice crystals! !
Gazing intently, he saw that the prey that was originally sealed was no longer there, and in its place was a white mask belonging to an ANBU ninja!
Judging from the lines painted on it, it was clearly the mask that Yakushi Kabuto had worn on his face and discarded carelessly!
This is,
【Substitute technique! ! 】
The feeling of being played with instantly filled Honglian's heart.
Its vision quickly locked onto the prey that was already on a stone pillar.
【hateful! ! 】
Without any verbal exchange, crystal clear ice crystals appeared out of thin air and attacked that guy.
However, this hastily launched offensive turned into tiny crystal fragments in a pair of scalpels attached with emerald green energy.
After all, the reason why he was defeated by Orochimaru was not just because he had a smart mind.
There is also an individual strength that is not weak at all!
This was the foundation that supported him from serving as a spy in various ninja villages for decades.
"I don't have time to continue playing around with you now."
"However, I will dig into it after I go back to find out what is the thing you cherish."…
"See you next time,"
"Oh, in return, I'll give you a gift too."
"The Demon Hidden Village of Yuno Country!"
As he spoke, Yakushi Kabuto's fingers also completed the prescribed seal.
However, this jutsu seal does not seem to be an offensive ninjutsu.
Rather, it was the suspension of a certain ninjutsu.
"untie."
"Enjoy it, and your reputation will rise in the chaos!"
Looking at Guren's ferocious expression that desperately wanted to kill him, the smile on Yakushi Kabuto's lips grew brighter.
At the same time, an ear-piercing scream that could pierce the clouds suddenly sounded from the direction of the arena behind them.
The large-scale illusion "Nirvana Abode Technique" has been unlocked.
"Then, goodbye."
After once again evading the ice crystals that suddenly condensed from nothingness, he stopped entangled at all and fled quickly through the stone forest terrain created by his movement.
As for Lord Orochimaru who is still in the field,
If he dies here, it will prove that the other person is no longer suitable to be the person he wants to follow.
"Don't even think about running away!"
Seeing the bastard who threatened him and ran away without a fight, Honglian immediately wanted to chase him in the direction of his escape.
However, at this moment,
Several figures in strange costumes quietly appeared in her field of vision like ghosts, and formed a line-up formation to block them.
The main reason why these people are dressed strangely is that they all carry a gray jar behind their backs.
"Father."
Just when there was a moment of stalemate, a young voice
The figure walked out from the dark corner.
Compared with the few Konoha ninjas who suddenly appeared, he seemed much normal, but just from the names he blurted out, he could directly tell that they were of the same origin.
"She is also a hostile ninja who invaded the village. She uses a special crystal ninjutsu."
"The ANBU ninja who escaped before is also fishy. He is not from Konoha. I have placed the female insect on that guy's body, so he can't escape."
"Besides, we need to fight quickly. The illusion that puts ordinary people into sleep has been broken."
Shino Aburame quickly conveyed the known information to her father and senior members of the clan.
As early as when he noticed that the contestants of Sunagakure Village showed a strange attitude towards Uchiha Ara, he had already conveyed the news to his family through bugs that there might be changes in the competition.
First, it was because the incident that happened before the start of the second trial left him feeling frightened, and that kind of intuition drove him to do this.
The second reason is that compared to ordinary people who like to join in the fun, their clan prefers to be quiet.
Therefore, no one came to watch the Chunin selection.
Including his father.
"I understand, please step aside and leave this place to us."
Aburame Shichi, who had heard the message, spoke slightly.
He also clearly knew that this was not the time to be entangled, so when he made a sound, the parasites that were as dense as dark clouds swarmed out of the insect jar behind him.
"Ha, so you are the Aburame clan."
Looking at the group of people blocking it and the tiny insects that filled his field of vision, the angry look on Guren's face suddenly became weird and ironic.
Because the mission given to her by the Lord was to deal with the Aburame clan who were good at controlling insects in this battle.
As for Kabuto Yakushi who has escaped,
Didn’t the kid next to me already say that he left a traceable mark on that guy’s body!
Now, as long as this established task is completed, it means that she can move freely!
"Then, all those who are in the way will die!!"
Watching the attacking swarm of insects, Honglian quickly formed a seal.
"Crystal Escape·Crystal Wall Eight Formations!"
While roaring, a solid ice crystal that sealed several insect swarms and a small half of the field suddenly materialized, and suddenly collapsed the next second after it imprisoned these creatures.
And it's the kind of complete crushing that turns into powder! !
And in the bright crystal light and shadow mixed with tiny black spots, a cold low roar sounded:
"Insects and numbers are of no use to me."
Want to sleep in the dark
