It's night, a clearing training ground in the forest.

Xili had already greeted Izumi in advance, saying that he was not going to dinner, and even brought a large bag of rice balls to the training ground with lunch.

This practice is up to now.

Sweat rained down.

A small puddle of water could be seen at Sili's feet, but he didn't have any extra expression.

Sweating is the first manifestation of the results of hard work.

If you do penance from the evening until late at night, you don't even get your clothes wet.

That's a fart penance?

……

The wind whirred in the air, but there was no thud of striking a stake.

Because Sili is now punching sandbags.

A soft sandbag.

Sandbags filled with plenty of cotton.

When you punch it, it looks like the whole fist is going to be sucked in, and this feeling is very uncomfortable for Xili, who likes to hit hard.

It's like...

It's like when you spray people, the permission dog bans you.

No matter how you deduct words on the keyboard, you just can't send it!

Taking a breath, Sieli stopped punching and wiped a handful of sweat to reveal his dark eyes.

While the power of the punches is the same, so is the way of practice.

But Xili always felt that beating cotton was more tiring than beating wooden stakes.

And it's easy to hold back internal injuries.

"I can't stand it, I'm going to hammer a stone first!"

With a roar, Cili threw down his sandbag and turned around.

Suddenly!

As he was about to lift his feet, Sili froze, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a snake-headed monster at the edge of the forest.

Then...

He stood up like a man.

At last...

The slender snake tail began to transform, and gradually turned into a person's legs!

"it, snake spirit?!"

Xili was taken aback by the snake-headed monster that was gradually transforming, and pulled out his mace with his backhand and shot it towards the...

Human head, or snake head?

No matter, let's be a snake!

A backhand stick smashed towards the head of the human snake.

Bang!

A muffled sound!

The feeling of hitting the real thing, and hitting the long neck of the human snake's head, it was so embarrassingly inlaid there!

It's not what I expected!

Say yes and fly out!

"Tsk..."

The snake head of the person who had been beaten to the side in a strange posture turned around, and a pair of snake eyes stared at Xili and then grinned.

A touch of human mockery is revealed.

Followed by.

A low hoarse voice with three points of evil spirit sounded.

"That's a lot of strength, Xili-kun."

“...”

This sound is so familiar...

The sluggish Sili's pupils shrank suddenly, and he finally reacted as the snake spirit's hideous face gradually became clear.

I'm a good girl!

Isn't this Uncle Snake?!

Lao Tzu gave him a stuffy stick in front of Orochimaru?

Oops hey! ~

Be cool! ~

Be cool! ~

Be cool! ~

The reason why he didn't react at first was because Orochimaru had now defected to Konoha and Xili didn't expect to meet him in Konoha Village!

But now I saw the Orochimaru deity standing alive in front of him.

Sili took a sip.

I don't think it's going to be special!

A drop of cold sweat slid down his sideburns.

Siri held the mace and kept smashing it horizontally on Orochimaru's neck, not knowing whether to take it back or not.

How embarrassing it is to be.

What if someone misunderstands it?

Will it be killed in seconds?

This guy is not a miscellaneous fish, let alone a ninja who can't break his defenses, but a shadow-level powerhouse who can mess up his skills!

It's going to be killed in seconds, right?

And then tied to the operating table and dissected like a guinea pig?

Finally put it in bottles and cans for specimens?

"I said Xilijun, this stick is a bit heavy, can you take it back first?"

Orochimaru squinted and glanced at the mace on his neck.

This little ghost can do it!

This mace is a few hundred pounds, right?

Hearing this, Xili moved back slightly, and found that Orochimaru was just looking at him quietly, and had no intention of making a move.

He silently withdrew his mace, and then stood there silently staring at the other party vigilantly.

It looks like a great enemy.

Do you want to open the Eight Gates Dunjia and run away?

Although it's a bit of a loss of face for the Bull Demon King, how much is face worth?

Return the face of the Bull Demon King?

Bah!

Do you want face or death?

However, Xili didn't plan to act rashly for the time being, because he didn't feel any murderous aura from Orochimaru's body.

And listen to Orochimaru's breath.

Seems to know him?

"Who are you?" Xili asked pretendedly, as if he had completely forgotten the thing he had just scolded the snake spirit!

Can you not forget?!

That's Uncle Snake, who likes to kidnap children the most!

"My name is Orochimaru."

The corners of Orochimaru's mouth always had a hint of curvature, and it seemed that today's Xili made him very satisfied.

He was just passing by today to see Sili.

I thought it was a failed experiment.

Tut...

Such a waste can become a shinobi, and he awakened the blood inheritance limit, and also defeated the genius Uchiha Itachi of the Uchiha clan.

Konoha is really a good place to raise people.

"The next time we meet, you'll remember me."

Orochimaru smiled faintly, and then his body sank into the ground as if it were disembodied.

I don't see the other person make any movement at all.

Xili suddenly felt a thick sleepiness sweeping over him.

Although I wanted to hold my eyelids and not fall asleep, I didn't last two seconds...

Thump!

With a muffled sound, a cloud of dust was splashed.

In the clearing training ground in the forest, there was only a bull-headed imp lying on the ground in a large shape.

……

The moonlight is boundless, adding a cool beauty to the quiet forest.

Deep in the secluded forest.

A medushead scurries through...

Nestled in a deep valley on the other side of the mountain, darkness covers the land.

A stone forest in a deep valley.

A figure shrouded in black robes walked anxiously around, seemingly waiting for someone, and very impatient.

He looked at Xuanyue in the sky and muttered, "Why haven't you come yet?" ”

Hiss! ~

Suddenly!

A cold aura suddenly appeared, and a long snake tail swooped out of the darkness and directly wrapped around the black-robed man.

Then a cape and snake head were revealed, and they looked at the black-robed man.

"Are you in a hurry? Hezejun. ”

"Nope..."

The brim of the black-robed man's hat slipped down, revealing a familiar face, it was Maruyama Heze, the head teacher of the second class of the first grade of the ninja school!

He swallowed nervously.

"Orochimaru-sama, can you..."

Maruyama Katsusawa was very uncomfortable with this way of speaking, and was strangled by a large snake, as if he was the prey that would be swallowed at any time.

Orochimaru didn't embarrass the other party, and happily let go of Maruyama Heze and turned into a human form again.

This is Konoha Village, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the strongest ninja village.

Even Orochimaru has to be careful, and it would be bad if he was targeted by the shadows.

He didn't want to face three generations of troublesome old men.

"Is there any movement in Konoha lately?" Orochimaru glanced at Maruyama Heze lightly and asked straight to the point.

"This is the information collected by his subordinates, please take a look at Orochimaru-sama."

Maruyama Heze bowed respectfully and took two steps back, then took out an intelligence scroll from his bosom and held it in both hands.

Orochimaru picked his fingertips, and the intelligence scroll fell into his hand.

He casually flipped through...
