Naruto and his party, because they were afraid of the resounding name of Orochimaru, who was also one of the three ninjas of Konoha in front of them, and the strong strength that was obvious to all. So much so that although the three girls chose to join forces to protect Naruto in the first place. Stand side by side, use your body as a shield, and stand ready to stand in battle. But from beginning to end, no one dared to take a preemptive approach and launch an offensive against the seemingly lazy and casual Orochimaru in front of him, who was full of flaws.

Compared with Naruto and his party, who are like a great enemy, Orochimaru, who looks relaxed and casual on the surface, is secretly in an embarrassing situation of throwing a rat trap.

After all, originally in Orochimaru wanted to come...... Since "Danzou" has "deliberately" sent the Nine-Tails Human Pillar Force - as the village's final combat weapon, the Human Pillar Force is described by the standard of Naruto's previous life, that is, a humanoid self-propelled nuclear bomb - to "deal with" Jiraiya. Then, according to common sense, in order to allow the Nine-Tails Pillar Force to hide from the attention of the three generations of Hokage, he quietly left the village, and followed the order of "Danzo" to successfully "assassinate" Jiraiya. Then, out of the low-key consideration of the secrecy of the operation, the most appropriate approach should be to let the pillar force act alone, and minimize the possibility of revealing his whereabouts as much as possible. And then without knowing it, taking advantage of the fact that he didn't notice the danger approaching, he used the tailed beast jade to drop it directly in an instant.

Because of this, the special mark applied to Naruto before the elephant turned to the doppelganger was dying, and he followed all the way after quickly approaching. According to common sense, Naruto, who was the pillar force of the Nine-Tails, was the most powerful Orochimaru who "assassinated" Jiraiya this time, so he directly ignored the existence of Naruto's third daughter. So much so that Orochimaru naturally regarded them as useless vases at the same time. Because of his own thoughts, he was focused on how to consider Naruto's plan of action to kill with one blow, and he slackened his defense against these three women. So that in the Orochimaru plan, even if he couldn't directly take Naruto's life, it was enough to hit him hard, but unexpectedly, he was hit by the female ninja of Nadeshiko Village and deviated from the offensive track!

"In addition to the Nine-Tails Pillar Force, there are actually three Shangninas following the guards...... Hmph, it's really a 'luxurious' lineup......"

In this unexpected situation, the big snake pill, who had never put the third girl in his eyes, was shocked and uncertain, while secretly calming down, pretending to be calm so as not to mess up. While quietly letting out his own perception, he carefully investigated the details of the three girls. And then while frowning slightly and talking to himself, his lazy and casual gaze began to become vigilant and serious.

"It seems that the old immortal thing in Tuanzang is really planning to tear his face with the teacher recently, so he wants to leave Jiraiya here completely......"

As one of the former high-level Konoha leaders, and even a candidate for the fourth generation of Hokage on the bright side...... For the large and small forces in the village, although they are like a family on the surface, they get along harmoniously. But secretly, it is for their own interests, and there are constant contradictions and disputes, and even the fact that they regard each other as enemies of life and death, the big snake pill knows it. Naturally, before leaving the village, he had already decided that the fragile comradeship between Tuanzang, who was wholeheartedly greedy for the glory of the Hokage's position, and his teacher, who knew Tuanzang's ambitions but always turned a blind eye and hoped in vain that Tuanzang would be able to get lost, would sooner or later lead to a rupture and collapse, and saber rattling.

Because of this, after Naruto finished solving the group, he deliberately asked the three generations of Hokage to block and keep the intelligence information secret. Orochimaru, who is extremely lacking in the latest information for reference, naturally thinks that the group that has disappeared for a long time is in the dark, in order to usurp the position of the Hokage by force, and what kind of conspiracy is secretly brewing. And then after realizing that among the three girls in front of him, even the youngest Shizun has a strong strength close to the upper ninja level. Let his mind gradually be misled by his own conjectures, and the big snake pill who became suspicious and fought with the air, suddenly thought of a more serious possibility from this obviously too "luxurious" lineup.

That's whether Danzang's untrustworthy villain would take advantage of the fragile trust relationship that has been established over the long period of cooperation with Orochimaru—for example, after Danzang clearly guessed that Orochimaru, who had always maintained a distrust of him, must have sent his trusted intelligence agents to closely monitor and investigate Yakushidou's whereabouts. As if he were planning it, he used the medicine man's pocket that Orochimaru liked as a bait to lure the snake out of the hole. Didn't Fang just send a commissioner to recover the information in the first place, so that Orochimaru could "accidentally" take the lead and intercept part of the content of the "handwritten edict" that should have been visible only to Yakushidou?

In other words, in the case of this conjecture as a premise, with the current lineup that is obviously beyond the assassination of Jiraiya, the need for too "luxurious" lineup. Always on guard against the big snake pill that Tuan Zang bites back, he involuntarily suspects Tuan Zang's true purpose, will it not kill Ji Lai Ye at all...... But after arranging the lore danger against Jiraiya, he also calculated the possibility that after Orochimaru obtained the content of the edict, he would definitely come to help Jiraiya get out of danger, and tried to kill Orochimaru on the spot!

After all, even if Orochimaru is on the surface, he is already an outright S-level traitor who has been spurned by the Konoha Ninja Village...... But the deep bond that has been cultivated since childhood is not so easy to cut off! Thinking about it from another perspective, Orochimaru decided that if he knew that Tuan Zang would poison Jiraiya or even the teacher. Even if he is besieged and pursued by the village, he will definitely intervene in this matter!

What's more, at the request of Danzang, the prosthetic limb cultivated by using the first generation of Hokage cells has already been transplanted to Danzang's body......

Although so far, Orochimaru can't think of it, so he didn't hesitate to cut off his arm and replace it with a small hole full of hollows that was specially asked to be customized, so that it seemed like a potholed "broken arm" Tuanzang, what kind of ghost is he thinking...... But there is one thing that Orochimaru can affirm - that is, if he has lost his use value, he will be killed by Tuan Zang, which is by no means uncommon.

And this is not an unacceptable "fact" for Orochimaru, who took what he needed, so that he was already prepared when he came into contact with Danzang and joined forces. So much so that the "truth" conceived by the brain seems more and more credible at the same time. Orochimaru, who originally had the idea of solving this matter alone, couldn't help but start thinking about his own way out when he confronted people silently.

"Not only do you want to stay, but you also made up my mind...... Old thing, your appetite this time is not ordinary...... Let me guess, have you set up more traps and ambushes around here, waiting for me and Jiraiya to step on? ”

Between the lightning and flint, he thought that he would have the cause and effect, and he had already explored and speculated on the big snake pill. As his frown gradually unfolded, he nodded thoughtfully as he raised the Kusanagi Sword in his hand again. After a little scrutiny, he decided that this attack would not be able to be used again, so he directly took advantage of the situation to open the distance and wait for the opportunity to move.

"Although there is some reluctance...... But in the current three-on-one situation, which is already unfavorable to me, if the nine-tailed demon fox launches a surge again, the only way to find the idiot from Zilai is to join forces to break through...... The longer it drags on, the less good it will be for me, so let's do it quickly. ”

Well, under normal circumstances, Orochimaru's speculation is indeed reasonable and there is nothing wrong with it......

It's a pity that what Orochimaru doesn't know is......

The target of his fear, Danzang, was not only completely destroyed more than a year ago. Even the "culprit" who killed Tuan Zang, and inadvertently lured him to this place, was actually right in front of his eyes. And between the previous lightning and flint, he was almost stabbed by the big snake pill suddenly, and was taken away by the big snake pill directly in a wave......

In other words......

Orochimaru, who has been calculating for most of the day, is actually just making up for his excessive suspicion and fighting with the air in a tense and exciting game......

And for Orochimaru's heart, after fighting wits and courage with the air for most of the day, he began to change from the initial easy victory, and gradually turned to Naruto and his party, who knew nothing about the complex thoughts of not seeking merit but seeking no faults. Although he felt a little uneasy because he was about to fight the famous Orochimaru. But at the same time that Orochimaru's eyes gradually became sharp and sharp, everyone looked at each other, but they had no intention of sitting still.

The female ninja of Nadeshiko Village, who is obviously good at using swordsmanship, has already had an incomparably sharp blade at this moment, and it has already been completely contained and wrapped in a layer of blue materialized chakra. And in the bursts of sharp and piercing whistling, the whole person's temperament became more and more dangerous and cold. Obviously, he was trying to suppress the strangeness in his heart in order to keep his composure to deal with Orochimaru's attack. Just like the chakra knife principle of Ape Fei Asma, he has put a layer of unknown ninjutsu buff on his beloved blade. Once the war with Orochimaru officially starts, he plans to intercept the main attacker who will fight back head-on!

And as a former "walking witch" title, and even though he has retired from the root organization, he is still remembered by the group, trying to re-win the return of the team...... Despite walking in a hurry, he did not carry his usual blades and equipment. But between the unblinking stares, the hands that quietly and quickly sealed, and the cold aura on his body became more and more obvious. It is enough to prove that Ye Naiyu has never relaxed for a moment in the short silence process of confrontation with each other!

In this case, once Orochimaru has the slightest sign of wanting to make a move...... Then what greeted him would definitely be a powerful ninjutsu bombardment!

Even among the three girls, because they are much younger than each other, whether it is the means of facing the enemy or the experience of on-the-spot response, they all look much younger and immature. It was also after making the decision to protect Naruto that he took out several thin needles from the straps on his thighs and clamped them in his hands. On the one hand, in the palm of the left hand that was deliberately set aside, the chakra quickly condensed and gathered, and transformed into a medical ninjutsu that exuded bursts of warmth...... Obviously, in the short period of time after this abnormal protrusion, Mute not only recognized his own lack of strength, but also after a little thought, he did not hesitate to prepare to take on the auxiliary role of providing treatment for the other two and containing Orochimaru's operation!

That's why......

If it is said that when Orochimaru just made a move, the temporary defense line composed of the three girls with their own thoughts can be regarded as a plate of loose sand. So that it is as strong as the outside and the middle is dry, and it is particularly vulnerable......

Then, after this almost fleeting short period of time, although it is not very exquisite, the degree of cooperation between the three women has been significantly improved under the reasonable and clear division of labor!

In addition, Naruto, who was regarded as an assassination target by Orochimaru as an "inexplicable", so much so that his brain crashed, and the whole person was a little in a trance. Finally, under the buffer of the short time buffered by the battle of wits and courage between Orochimaru and the air, he gradually came back to his senses.

"Isn't that right? With the ruthless method of Orochimaru that guy dares to do human experiments...... Even if you make an elephant doppelganger, you need to sacrifice a living person as a sacrifice. But for Orochimaru, who has countless 'experimental targets' at hand, it shouldn't be a heart-wrenching loss, right......? ”

From the gap in the human wall where the three women were standing side by side, he looked at Orochimaru with a strange expression, and thoughtfully observed the change in Orochimaru's gaze. While muttering to himself, he wondered what he should do if Orochimaru didn't give up and wanted to continue to attack himself...... In other words, the price of revealing his true strength to Orochimaru caused by making a public shot is not something he can afford now. So much so that at this critical moment when everyone was nervously confronting each other. Naruto, who is the only person involved, does not have the tension and worry about his life and safety that he should have as an assassin!

In a sense, like Orochimaru, Naruto likes to think carefully before making a decision to act. In front of Orochimaru's "fearless" eyes, he didn't think that Orochimaru pinned his hopes of successfully getting out on Jiraiya. So much so that naturally, Naruto, who was also fighting wits and courage with the air, decided that in a corner around him, there was absolutely another Naruto who was waiting for an opportunity to make a move. After a short silence, he "wittily" chose to admit cowardice and pretend to be weak.

Well, of course...... If Naruto knew that Orochimaru at this time was really alone to stab himself......

Naruto, who has been able to borrow the power of the Nine Lamas at will, and is proficient in the art of flying thunder. Probably after closing the distance with the technique of the Flying Thunder God, he directly sent a Zhuyu Spiral Pill mixed with the Tailed Beast Chakra to the vital point of the Great Snake Pill. Try to inflict as much damage as possible on Orochimaru in the first place, so that he can fulfill his long-standing wish to bring Orochimaru back to the village even if he uses force......

In other words, at some point...... If Naruto can be like the "Naruto Uzumaki" in the original book, rush forward in one go, do things recklessly, and become the No. 1 ninja in the true sense of the word...... Benefits. It's a lot better than racking your brains and thinking about it.

"Well, though, then again...... Whatever Orochimaru was thinking, before another member of the Akatsuki organization who had already been ambushed revealed his whereabouts. It's better for me to endure it if I can, and try not to show my strength...... At the very least, I'll have to find a chance to solve the problem of 'Bo Feng Mian Ma'......"

Because he didn't realize that he missed the perfect opportunity to forcibly surrender Orochimaru in advance by force. Naruto muttered to himself in his heart, while dispersing the essence chakra that was driven by instinct and converged towards the palm of his hand. While his gaze was quietly deflected, he looked in a certain direction behind him.

"So, at the moment, the only one that can be used directly is this one, right......?"

"Uh...... Although the consequences of doing so will be a bit humiliating...... But in terms of results, it should be pretty good, right? ”
