Chapter 868: Blocking the Way

Hearing the old man's words, the corners of Orochimaru's mouth couldn't help but slowly hook.

I saw a pair of yellowed snake eyes glancing at him slightly, and his hoarse voice was full of mockery.

"How... Shouldn't Danzo-sama, who is in charge of the roots like a rat in the ground, take advantage of the old man's death to hurry up and fight for the Hokage's authority now, why did he appear in this place?"

When he said this, he smiled at Tuan Zang in front of him and said hoarsely.

"Could it be... Did Danzo-sama come here to thank me as a collaborator... After all... I've helped you solve an opponent you've been dealing with for the rest of your life..."

After hearing Orochimaru's words, the head of the regiment, the old man's face was expressionless.

Just like a rotten dead wood, I saw his cloudy eyes move slightly, glanced at Orochimaru, and said in a very calm and low voice.

"Don't try to provoke me with this tactic, Orochimaru... You should know... As a leader of the roots, I've been exposed to a lot more than you might think..."

"It's just this low-level means... But I can't hide your current physical condition..."

I saw that his cloudy eyes narrowed slightly, and he said hoarsely and in a low voice.

"After all... I know the strength of Ape Fei... Being able to get rid of him alone... You should be at your worst right now..."

The words of the two clashed slightly, but it was a strong gunpowder atmosphere, after hearing his words.

The smile on the corner of Orochimaru's mouth also slowly retracted, his face was cold, his eyes were faintly shot towards Tuanzang, and he slowly spoke.

"Tell me, what you're here for..."

Hearing this, Danzang's cloudy eyes couldn't help but glance at him, and then looked left and right, and the two root ninjas immediately flashed around, surrounding Orochimaru at this moment in a triangular shape.

Orochimaru looked at all this with cold eyes and didn't say a word, while Tuan Zang was slightly narrowed in his eyes and said slowly.

"As you say, Orochimaru... I'm here to seize the Hokage's authority..."

"After all... You've killed three generations of sinners with your own hands, you just need to bring your corpse back, and with the influence of the root, it can be said that my ascension to the position of the Hokage this time can be said to be a breeze..."

When he said this, even Tuan Zang, who had been quiet in the past, touched that position so close for the first time at this moment, and his eyes couldn't help but become hot, and his voice was slightly excited.

However, it is clear that Danzou at this time does not know about the battle that took place in the Forest of Death that changed the fate of the entire ninja world.

At this time, he was still immersed in the old ideas of the past, full of longing for the Hokage.

After hearing Danzang's words, the corners of Orochimaru's mouth couldn't help but show a hint of sarcasm, and his voice was indifferent.

"So... Is that why I didn't have a single root ninja involved in my fight with the old man before that?"

Hearing this, Tuan Zang was rarely silent for a while, and after a while, he slowly raised his head, his cloudy eyes looked directly into Orochimaru's eyes, and said in a deep voice.

"I know Ape Fei, and the battle between you and him must be reluctant to involve outsiders in his thoughts..."

"As an old friend, I respect his choice...."

Hearing this, Orochimaru silently showed a sarcastic expression, and said in a hoarse and low voice.

"So... The old man should be sad to have an old friend like you..."

As for Orochimaru's words, obviously, Tuan Zang didn't care much, just said hoarsely.

"Sarutobi was able to die in the battle to defend Konoha, I think this is probably the most appropriate death for him...."

"Otherwise... Could it be that when you watch your body age, when you can't even choose how to die?"

"A generation of ninjas, it's too sad to fall to such a point..."

"So... In a way, I should have thanked you for Sarutobi, Orochimaru..."

"Even if he fought to the death with his renegade disciple who wanted to destroy the village, he finally retained a trace of dignity at the last moment..."

Hearing this, Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was silent, and he didn't blindly refute it.

At this time, Tuanzang's eyes were slightly cold, and he said coldly.

"But... Someone is going to settle this grudge instead of Ape Fei!"

In this regard, Orochimaru just glanced at him, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he smiled hoarsely.

"So... Are you sure you're going to be the candidate?"

Hearing this, Tuan Zang couldn't help but say.

"Could it be that there is anyone else besides the old man.... Huh!?"

When he said this, Danzang frowned suddenly, and his exposed eyes immediately looked at the shadow of the tree trunk on the side, and the same was true of the other two ninjas at the roots!

"What man!?"

With a low shout from Danzang, the next moment, I saw a tall figure slowly walking out of the shadow of the dark tree trunk under Orochimaru's smiling gaze.

Seeing the comer, Tuan Zang's face couldn't help but become gloomy, and he said in a deep voice.

"Thousand Hands Rope Tree...!!"

Hearing Tuan Zang's words, I saw that Rope Tree had a calm look on his face, and slowly came to the field, looking at him, and said in a very calm voice.

"It turned out to be Danzo-sama... I thought someone would be able to join forces with Konoha traitors to assassinate the three generations of adults..."

"If it's you, then everything can be explained, after all... You, who are in charge of the Roots, have too many ways to communicate with foreign enemies and arrange this deliberate assassination..."

I heard what the rope tree said as soon as he came up and framed it.

Even with Tuanzang's old scheming, his face couldn't help but become gloomy and ugly at this moment, staring at the big snake pill and the rope tree, his cloudy eyes flickered slightly, and he said hoarsely and in a low voice.

"Do you think such a rhetoric will be useful, Thousand Hands Rope Tree!?"

"I really didn't expect it... Everything was as the old man expected... Since you've followed that guy Aizen... Old man doesn't believe that you can change your mind and return to Konoha so quickly!"

"Now it seems... But the old man was still not decisive enough at that time, he should have sent someone to assassinate you early, and he wouldn't have had so many incidents now!"

Hearing Tuan Zang's words, Rope Tree's eyes were lowered, but he didn't have any excuse.

The big snake pill on the side glanced at the two of them, and said to the rope tree in a very calm voice.

"It's just this guy, you should be able to deal with it, right?"

Hearing Orochimaru's words, Rope Tree nodded calmly and said slowly.

"If I don't think of any accidents, there shouldn't be any problems...."

In this regard, Orochimaru couldn't help but laugh hoarsely.

"Now it seems... It seems that you guys didn't use the Void Elixir and it was really a wise choice..."

"In that case, I'll leave it to you here..."

After saying that, Orochimaru didn't care, turned around slowly, and walked towards the depths of the forest by himself.
