In a dense forest three hundred miles north of Konoha Village, a group of four people was shuttling through the forest.

The first person is none other than Makoto Uchiha, and his team of four has been searching for a day and a half.

However, no trace of Orochimaru has been found.

"I didn't expect that one day we would be ordered to capture that one, and before I entered the shadows, I also participated in the Battle of Kikyo Mountain with Orochimaru.

The thought of maybe making a move with Orochimaru made me so excited that I couldn't stop it! Hopefully we'll find him first! ”

Nighthawk's tone was bloodthirsty and excited, and listening to his tone, it seemed that he was determined to get Orochimaru, who was already injured.

In this regard, Makoto Uchiha can only say that his IQ may have grown in height and size.

It is not clear to him who is the hunter and who is the prey.

Although Orochimaru was injured after fighting Jiraiya, this is the most terrifying.

They were already the second group of shadows to hunt down Orochimaru, and only 6 of the 15 people in the first batch came back alive.

If it is said that Orochimaru is in a full state, when he encounters a member of the dark department who is chasing him, he may be too lazy to do it and leave directly.

But the injured Orochimaru will definitely kill him if he gets into trouble.

"Nighthawk, can you have a little brain, you must not crow's mouth, I don't want to meet Orochimaru!" The female ninja codenamed 'Bobo' on the side complained that she was the one with a good figure and was good at water escape.

"Me too." Makoto Uchiha's side, codenamed 'Mirai', also agreed, as he was a recent addition to the Dark Ministry, and he was good at thunder.

Seeing that his teammates had no motivation at all, Nighthawk felt a little unhappy in his heart, and then asked Makoto Uchiha, "What about you?" You think so too? ”

"Hmm." Makoto Uchiha nodded, "I haven't lived long enough, and I don't want to die for the time being." ”

In the face of Uchiha's straightforward answer, the expression on the face under the Nighthawk mask froze.

"Humph!"

Even Makoto Uchiha, who was far stronger than him, said this, and he had nothing to say, but secretly scolded them for being cowardly in his heart.

It's rare to encounter such an important task and such a good opportunity.

If he can catch Orochimaru, one of the legendary three ninjas, then he will become famous in the entire dark department, and after breaking away from the dark department, he will be able to shock Konoha and be reused later.

Who can resist this temptation?

In particular, Orochimaru has been seriously injured, and this kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

With the strength of their squad, it's not that they don't have a chance to take down Orochimaru.

It's a pity that his teammates are too timid.

Makoto Uchiha saw that Nighthawk was silent, and sneered in his heart.

Although the shadows are all elites, much stronger than ninjas of the same level, most of the people's strength is concentrated in the elite ninja, and there are only a few who have the combat power of the upper ninja.

According to Makoto Uchiha's observation, the leader of each detachment is the upper shinobi, and the outstanding members of the individual detachment are the upper ninja, and the total number of upper ninja in the entire dark department will not exceed 15 people.

Before the three wars, the Uchiha clan had more than 30 people, including the special Shangnin.

The special ninjas have their own specialties, but the special ninjas in the shadows are basically good at fighting and tracking.

Because it was the same detachment, Makoto Uchiha also investigated the person Nighthawk.

Nighthawk comes from a small Konoha family, and before entering the shadows, he was particularly ninja, good at wind escape and perception.

As a relatively rare perceptual ninja, he is very confident in his own strength, and he is a person with a more flamboyant personality.

Obviously, after entering the shadows, he did not change his personality.

Originally, if Makoto Uchiha didn't enter the sixth class, after the pheasant retired, it would basically be Nighthawk as the team leader.

Now the situation is unknown.

Makoto Uchiha also understands his careful thoughts, but it doesn't matter.

Anyway, Makoto Uchiha wasn't prepared to stay in the shadows all the time, and when Kakashi recovered, he would definitely have to resign from Bo Feng Shuimen.

After all, if you don't do the dark part, you can also help Bo Feng Shuimen.

Although there are good people here, most of them do things unscrupulously, and he doesn't like this atmosphere very much.

Especially the root members who are also in the dark department, there is no lower limit to what they can do.

In the past two months, Makoto Uchiha has had several conflicts with members of the root during the mission, and the other party has been beaten half to death by him.

Roar!

Just when Makoto Uchiha was about to go back to his life after a few more laps, Warwick's warning suddenly appeared in his heart.

Makoto Uchiha hurriedly used [Blood Pursuit] to find someone in a cave ten meters in front of him, and the other party's hidden breath.

If it weren't for Warwick's reminder, he would have used [Blood Pursuit] to the extreme, and it would have been difficult to find the other party.

Judging from Chakra's perception, it is very powerful, and it should be Orochimaru.

Thinking of this, Makoto Uchiha paused, stopped on the trunk of the tree, and then took out the map.

Seeing that he stopped, the remaining three members of the team also stopped on the trunks of the surrounding trees.

Yu Lei asked suspiciously, "Yu Feng, what's wrong?" Did you find something? ”

"I may have eaten something bad, and my body is a little unwell, and from the map, there seems to be a small town not far to the east, let's go there and rest." Makoto Uchiha's tone was slightly depressed, as if he was really unwell.

"This ...... All right. Yu Lei was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect this to be the reason.

Bobo on the side heard this, nodded, and said, "I agree, the task is not in a hurry, I also want to take a break, let's go to the town to replenish our supplies, let's rest for a while." ”

Seeing that the three of them were unanimous, the face under the Nighthawk mask sank, and in his opinion, the three of them must have been cowardly and deliberately delayed time.

Thinking of this, Nighthawk said, "In that case, let's go together, but don't be in a hurry, let's search the neighborhood first and then go."

As he spoke, he pointed to a huge rock in front of him, looked at the small cave below, and said, "Look at that cave, it's suspicious." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped down from the tree and walked towards the cave.

Seeing this, Makoto Uchiha didn't stop him, and if he said more, it would be easy to arouse suspicion.

Anyway, Nighthawk wants to die, and he can't stop it.

With his current strength, although he is not Orochimaru's opponent, he is not without the strength to fight.

Especially against the injured Orochimaru.

When he said that before, the main reason was that he was afraid of trouble.

And if the three generations really want to kill Orochimaru, where will it be their turn.

Letting these people in the dark department hunt down Orochimaru is not just sending them to death, it's basically just making a show.

If you are serious, you lose.

Wrong!

It's dead!

Even if Makoto Uchiha can defeat the current Orochimaru, he is not sure to catch him and bring him back.

In the Hokage world, Orochimaru's strength may not be in the top ten, but his life-saving ability is definitely in the top three.

The moment Nighthawk stepped into the cave, the muscles of Makoto Uchiha's whole body tensed, and he suddenly became vigilant.

Rumble!

Nighthawk suddenly flew out of the cave, flying directly ten meters away, and slammed into the thick tree.

He vomited blood, his neck crooked, and he lost consciousness.

Da Da...

There was a sound of slow footsteps in the cave, and I saw Orochimaru walking out with his waist on his left, and his already pale face was bloodless at this time.

The viper-like vertical pupils exuded a cold killing intent, and the air seemed to have a feeling of condensation.

Feeling the oppression of Orochimaru, Uchiha Makoto felt a pang in his heart, is this a real shadow-level powerhouse?

Makoto Uchiha also killed a lot of people, but his momentum and killing intent were far less powerful than Orochimaru's.

But momentum alone doesn't scare him.

"Because of the injury, can't you even maintain a light and breezy posture?" Uchiha Makoto secretly thought in his heart that Orochimaru's performance was a manifestation of his weakness.

But the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and he didn't want to touch his brow.

However, without Makoto Uchiha's action, the Nighthawk, who had just been 'killed in seconds', suddenly appeared behind Orochimaru at this time.

The ninja knife in his hand was sharpened, and with a grunt, Orochimaru's head fell to the ground.

However, the smug smile on his face was not over, and he found that the big snake pill on the ground had turned into a puddle of mud.

"Not good! It's a dirt stand-in! Nighthawk's face changed suddenly.

"Shulker Serpent Hand!" Orochimaru suddenly emerged from the ground at Nighthawk's feet.

Four thick pythons emerged from his sleeves and struck at the Nighthawk.

Directly wraps the Nighthawk firmly around while quickly tightening.

"Ahh

There was a crunch click, and Nighthawk's neck was twisted off, and his body twisted into a twisted shape.

"Nighthawk!"

Seeing that the Nighthawk, whose strength was second only to Makoto Uchiha in the team, was killed in an instant, Bobo and Yulei screamed in shock, and their bodies were cold.

Makoto Uchiha was indifferent, since Nighthawk was a perceptual ninja but didn't discover Orochimaru, he had already lost.

I even wanted to pretend to be hit and try to sneak attack.

What a naivety!

In fact, if Makoto Uchiha had used [Flash] just now, he would have had a chance to save Nighthawk.

But their relationship was so bad, he thought a little more for 0.5 seconds, and the Nighthawk was gone.

It doesn't matter anyway.

Personnel turnover in the shadows is a common occurrence.

At this time, Orochimaru, who had killed the Nighthawk in seconds, set his sights on them.

"Chengjun, I didn't expect you to be among the people who chased and killed me, it's been a long time." The killing intent in Orochimaru's eyes weakened slightly, and his demeanor returned to his usual demeanor, as if he was reminiscing about old friends.

The expression under Makoto Uchiha's mask was stunned, he didn't use the Heavenly Sword, he didn't use swordsmanship, and he didn't open the Sharingan, how could Orochimaru recognize him?

Seeing that Makoto Uchiha did not react, Orochimaru said to himself:

"I said, I like the look in your eyes."
