Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Time of Darkness
Dark clouds drifted by, and the moonlight was obscured.
At this moment, the sky seemed to be darker, as if it were forever. That little bit of silver can no longer be sprinkled on the earth.
In a corner of Konoha Village, Utsuki Xiyan is busy with her companions, participating in the restoration of the village and the treatment of the injured.
Suddenly, a palpitation came, suffocating her breath.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her like this, the companion asked with concern.
"It's fine." Mao Yue Xiyan shook her head.
"If you're tired, go and rest, we're here." Patting her on the shoulder, the companion said.
Mao Yue Xiyan shook her head, then frowned slightly, raised her head and looked at the sky. The moon was hidden in the dark clouds, which made her heart faintly uneasy.
Hurricane, you don't want to be fine.
In the woods outside Kikyo City, looking at the white-faced man with a frightened expression who fell to the ground, Maki's eyes revealed a bit of appreciation.
"With this strength at his age, he is also a rare genius. It's a pity......" There was some regret in Markey's eyes.
The strong will always respect the strong, if it weren't for the great plan, he would also have the heart to let the moonlight blow the wind. Unfortunately, after all, it is still the enemy.
"Is it him?" Turning the body of the moonlight blast over, just to meet the pair of eyes, Dou was slightly surprised.
"Do you know him?" Markey asked, then thought for a moment and said, "Also, you have been undercover there for so many years, and it is not surprising that you know him." ”
Dou didn't answer his question, but squinted his eyes, thinking in his heart: "It turned out that this guy followed, I don't know how the little ghost would react if he knew that his teacher was dead." Thinking about it, the smile on Dou's face deepened, and his glasses were a little reflective, making him look even more gloomy.
Show me the power of your hatred, Xiu.
In the woods a few kilometers away from Konoha Village, there was silence, and in the faint light, the shadows of the trees were swaying. At the end of a small path, the figure of a man staggering gradually became clear.
The man is slender and well-proportioned, handsome in appearance, and has fierce eyes.
Orochimaru, who is a rare powerhouse in this world, is even more feared by all forces because of his cold personality and unscrupulous style.
At this time, however, he was wounded.
"Damn...... I fell for the old guy's calculations. God is God, even if he is old, he still can't be underestimated. ”
Walking to a corner, Orochimaru sat down against the trunk of the tree, took out the kunai, and carefully cut the clothes on his abdomen.
The skin was exposed, and a shocking wound almost pierced the entire abdomen, and the organs that were still functioning could be seen almost along the wound.
Slowly stuffing the exposed intestines back, the serpent's right hand was covered with a layer of pale green chakra, and then he pressed his palm close to his abdomen.
It's amazing, where the palm is close to it, the injured internal organs inside are slowly recovering.
After more than ten minutes, the palm of the hand was removed, and there was no scar in the original position, only a shallow mark could be seen.
However, Orochimaru's expression did not change for the better, and he reached behind him to support the trunk of the tree and tried to stand up, but he almost stumbled and fell.
"This body is no longer usable, we must replace it as soon as possible......" Orochimaru frowned, fine sweat covered his forehead, shrugged his ears slightly, and the sound gradually became clear.
"Alas! ~ You said okay, why did you suddenly go to war, it's only been a few days. ”
"What's the solution, we're okay, other countries are in chaos, no one dares to go out at night."
Talking were two ninjas wearing Konoha forehead guards, one tall and thin, the other short and stocky,
"I heard that this time it was the village where Sand Shinobi and Otoshi colluded to attack the village, and I don't know why. These guys, who are obviously allies, actually do such a thing. ”
"Hey, where are there any alliances in this world, some are just interests. But those big snakes make me think of someone. ”
"You mean...... That person? ”
"Shhh
"Hey! No one in this barren mountain will hear it. If I want to see it, our Hokage-sama was blind at the beginning, and he actually taught such an apprentice, if I had slapped him to death in the first place, it would be a disaster to keep it. ”
The tall and thin ninja was facing the rise of his companion's blow, but found that his companion's expression suddenly changed to horror, and hurriedly turned around, just in front of a pair of fierce snake eyes.
"Big.... Orochi ....."
"You say, who are you going to pinch to death......!"
On the side, Humpty Dumpty Ninja sat on the ground, his hands trembling, barely supporting his body.
After a few breaths, the original tall and thin ninja changed his appearance, his skin became pale, and his eyes turned into yellow snake pupils, and he suddenly became the appearance of Orochimaru!
On the ground, however, there was only a withered empty skin sac, and in the faint light, you could still see the twisted and terrifying face.
Stretching out his right hand and squeezing his fist, Orochimaru frowned slightly.
"This body is really weak, if it weren't for him.... Now, that shell is mine! Thinking of what happened in the secret room, Orochimaru's expression became even more fierce.
Coming back to his senses, his gaze shifted to the frightened Humpty Dumpty Ninja, who stretched out his long tongue and licked the corners of his mouth with a cruel smile.
"No, don't!"
The restoration of the village is still in full swing, even at night.
"Mu Dun - The Art of Tsuchiya Tile Building!"
With a light sound, the ground trembled, and black shadows intertwined. In a matter of moments, a five-storey house rose from the ground.
"Captain Yamato, your Mu Dun is really amazing, we worked hard for half a day to build such a small house, and you built such a big building in an instant with one ninjutsu." A ninja complimented as he pointed to a small cabin not far away.
Yamato wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Everyone is just doing their own duties, even those two adults have rushed back, of course I have to contribute." ”
"Anyway, thanks to the Lord, otherwise these wounded would be in danger. I heard that the wound medicine in the hospital is almost running out. ”
Next to a ruin, Ape Feiri sat on the ground, looked at the busy figure not far away, and said to the tall man beside him: "This time the village was not lightly damaged, and there was an urgent shortage of manpower, but fortunately you came back in time." ”
The tall man scratched his head and laughed: "Actually, it's useless for me to come back, these injured people are still being treated by Tsunade." ”
After taking a deep look at the other party, Ape Fei said: "Jiraiya, I'm tired, the affairs of the village ......"
Before he finished speaking, Jiraiya slapped his palm and said, "Ah, I remembered that I brought some medicine back this time, and I haven't sent it to the medical department yet." ”
"Jiraiya! Come over here and help me, you guy! ”
"It's coming, it's coming!" Hearing Tsunade shouting, Jiraiya hurriedly trotted over.
"Tsunade, I still have a lot of medicines here, you see." As he spoke, he took out a few scrolls.
"You guy..."Tsunade's expression changed slightly, and when Jiraiya was beaming, he suddenly smashed a punch on his head and scolded, "Why didn't you take it out sooner, bastard!" ”
Looking at the two people playing in the distance, Ape Fei shook his head, and the vicissitudes of life shone in his eyes, as if he had fallen into some kind of memory, and shook his head after a while.
Next time, I won't show mercy to my subordinates.
