The large meteorite-like ball floating in the air was witnessed by many of the examiners present.

According to the red bean report, the big ball sucked all the creatures within a radius of about a kilometer onto the sphere and slaughtered them all!

That...... It's not a ninjutsu that can be unleashed by the lower ninja......

Even...... As a Hokage, he couldn't release it, let alone that kind of ninjutsu, he hadn't even heard of it......

Looking at it this way, the person who released that one could only be Orochimaru.

"Alas......"

Ape Feiri sighed and said to the red bean: "The exam has to continue, you go and organize the candidates who have passed the test first, but you must pay close attention to the movements of Orochimaru......"

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

Hongdou said quickly, and then left the monitoring room.

"And ......"

Ape Fei Ri turned his head to Gangzitie again: "Go and contact all departments, let them take all precautions in the near future, even ...... Always ready for battle! ”

"Yes! Hokage-sama! ”

Gangzitie answered, and then turned to leave.

……

A few minutes later.

Inside the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi turned his back to the gate, looked at the scenery of the entire Konoha Village from the window, and said with a little sadness: "Elephant, you have already heard about Orochimaru's participation in the middle ninja exam. ”

At the door of the office, a masked figure immediately responded, "Yes, Hokage-sama, my subordinates have been informed of this information. ”

"Hmmm......"

Ape Fei Ri's voice was a little low: "Then he released that moon-like ninjutsu during the middle ninja exam, you know?" ”

"My subordinates know."

"Then why do you think he released this ninjutsu?"

"This ......"

Xiang hesitated for a moment, and then said calmly: "According to the information left by the shadow in the past, Orochimaru is not the kind of person who will show his hole cards blatantly, since this is the case, he does this...... There must be a reason for that! ”

"And according to my guess...... There are two reasons for this. ”

"First, that's that ninjutsu, it's not his hole card, he has more powerful hole cards available."

"As for the second ...... I guess he made such a big splash that he was trying to send a message to someone......"

"Hmmm......"

Ape Fei Ri Slash was still looking out the window, so that people couldn't see his expression: "Then which one do you think?" ”

Xiang was silent for a moment before he said, "This ...... The subordinates don't know, and please ask Hokage-sama to see it! ”

At this moment, the elephant's body trembled.

"Haha, it's okay, it's normal that you can't guess."

Ape Fei Ri chuckled lightly and said slowly, "I guess...... It should be the second one, what he wants to pass on...... It should be [in danger], this information. ”

Elephant didn't dare to pick up the stubble.

At this moment, Ape Fei Ri continued: "As for who this information is passed on, I don't know very well, maybe I'm old, so I like to guess......"

After saying that, he turned his head back, looked at the elephant, and said with the same kind smile on his face as usual: "You go down, convey my order to all the members of the dark department, remember, it is all the members, tell them to be vigilant at all times, and if there is any situation, report to me immediately." ”

"Yes!"

Answered, Xiang hurriedly retired.

In the house, only Ape Fei Ri was left.

He lit his pipe, took a deep breath, and looked a little sad again......

……

A few more minutes later.

Konoha underground.

【Root】Headquarters.

In the gloomy building, a few dim beams of light became the only way to illuminate the hall.

And in it, an old man with squinting eyes has a vague expression on his face, making it impossible to see what he is thinking.

As for the other person, even if he was wearing a mask, he vaguely revealed a touch of respect.

The old man's face was expressionless, and he said, "Elephant, the sun is slashed...... What did I say to you? ”

Xiang didn't dare to procrastinate, and hurriedly repeated everything that the three generations of Hokage said.

After listening to everything that Xiang reported, Tuan Zang snorted coldly.

"Hmph...... That guy really knows how to act when he sees the opportunity, and the reason why he deliberately interpreted it in front of you is just to use it to knock me. ”

Hearing this, Xiang was puzzled and said, "That'...... Lord Danzang, could it be that Orochimaru-sama's move actually has another meaning? ”

Tuan Zang's face remained unchanged, and he said unhurriedly: "In my opinion, Orochimaru's move is to convey to me that his action this time is bound to win!" ”

"I had a secret conversation with Orochimaru's subordinate Dou before, and at that time, I showed some hesitation towards Dou, in other words, I was suspicious of their strength."

"Presumably, Dou has already conveyed all of this to Orochimaru, and Orochimaru's actions this time must be to break my doubts and tell me one thing."

"That is, even if he has exposed such strength, he is still confident that he will win in the next plan!"

On the side, after listening to Tuan Zang's words, Xiang suddenly realized, and said with admiration: "I see...... It's worthy of the Danzo Lord! ”

However, Tuan Zang's face remained unchanged, he was not complacent, and he didn't say anything more about it.

After all, he has lived in the shadows of Konoha for many years, and if he can't even solve this kind of dumb riddle, it would be a shame for him to live a dark life for so many years.

"But...... Elephant. ”

Danzang pondered for a moment and spoke again: "You also have to keep an eye on Orochimaru's movements, if that big ball is really released by him, then his strength may be a little too strong, if it is not restricted, it is likely to backfire against us in the future." ”

"Yes!" Xiang said respectfully, and then did not stay long, and left quickly.

Wait for the elephant to leave.

Tuan Zang looked at the huge buildings buried deep underground in the root headquarters, his face was complicated, and he muttered, "...... Next, the sun is about to shine into the dull roots of Konoha, reflecting the rings of history, and it is about to rewrite the shape......"

With that, he looked at his right arm.

There was silence for another moment.

Tuan Zang turned around and walked away slowly.

And at this moment, in Tuan Zang's eyes, the killing intent was revealed......!

……

Meanwhile.

in a small room inside the central tower.

With an apologetic face, Dou reported to Orochimaru the harvest of the second exam.

Orochimaru-sama had sent him to collect the latest information on Sasuke Uchiha, but he found nothing.

This is one of the few defeats he has ever had.

Moreover, I didn't even get the information of a little ghost, which is quite a low-level defeat.

"I'm sorry, Orochimaru-sama, I couldn't get information from Sasuke Uchiha...... These imps seem to have an unusually sharp instinct, and I haven't been able to get close to them. ”

After speaking, Dou lowered his head and fell silent.

And in front of him, Orochimaru smiled and didn't say anything about it.

After all, there is an unimaginable imp with them, and it is normal for Dou to not get information.

"It's okay, Dou, it's not your fault, and it's ......"

Orochimaru licked his lips, and said with a wicked smile on his face, "I now have another target......"

"Another target?" Dou wondered.

But in an instant, he had a flash of inspiration, and his face became confident again.

After all, as Orochimaru-sama's henchman, this thing is still easy to guess.

He pushed his glasses away, and there was a glow of wisdom in the lenses.

"What do you mean...... It's Naruto Uzumaki, right? ”

“…… No. ”

“……”
