"Tsk, I thought I could more or less make some trouble for that guy Orochimaru...... As a result, the roar sounded like a full of energy. It's not at all like what a seriously injured and dying person can come from......"

Frowning and muttering to himself, Naruto judged from the deafening roar that Orochimaru had not only failed to achieve the serious injury effect expected by Naruto under the previous attack [steal] attack, but it was more like completely angering Orochimaru, a shadow-level powerhouse. So much so that the atmosphere that had finally eased became nervous again under the pressure of this powerful aura that suddenly exploded.

Of course, being able to successfully seriously injure Orochimaru is certainly what Naruto wants to see...... But in the face of the fact that Orochimaru ate the full amount of Spiral Pill's damage without being guarded, but was still unscathed, it was not an unimaginable and unacceptable development for Naruto.

Because, judging by the performance of the original book......

If you compare the rankings purely according to the level of strength?

Then, as the early boss, so that the big snake pill who can only show off his martial arts in the fledgling childhood of the protagonist group, may indeed not be so powerful and terrifying. After the members of the Xiao Organization appeared one after another, and even after the start of the Fourth Ninja World War, where shadow-level powerhouses were running everywhere, it seemed to be no threat at all......

But when it comes to the ability to escape and protect yourself?

Well, in the case of Orochimaru who considers himself second place...... I'm afraid that if I search the entire Naruto world, I won't be able to find an existence that can afford this first place!

After all, in the original book......

Whether it was Orochimaru's torture that he was about to lose his body and was in a weak and fragile state, he was killed by Sasuke by taking the opportunity.

Or in the life-and-death duel between the Uchiha brothers after this, they were Itachi's Amaterasu and sealed by the Ten Fists Sword......

Every time the "death" ending, it seems that Orochimaru, who has died so much that he can't die anymore. But he can always rely on his tenacious life [begging] [life] [life] [desire], and resurrect alive and kicking again. So much so that no matter what he does, Orochimaru who can't die has become the only one among all the villain bosses who have appeared in the Naruto world while successfully whitewashing himself and surviving to the finale safely!

In other words, if we talk about the tenacity of the vitality...... Orochimaru, who believes in science and masters core technology, is the real immortal Xiaoqiang in the Naruto world!

"Sounds like Orochimaru is about to start going berserk...... Well, but it's no wonder...... In the hands of the same child one after another, he was tragically tricked and deflated, and the dignity of the shadow-level powerhouse was gone...... If it were me, I guess I'd be annoyed and angry......"

From Naruto's stunning performance of easily repelling Orochimaru, he recalled Naruto's identity background as the current leader of the Root Organization. Immediately, in the face of this unimaginable fact, Naruto was no longer regarded as a child who could only rely on others to care for and pamper, but began to gradually face Naruto's Ye Nayu. Suddenly, it was a moment when his consciousness was scattered, and he was called back to reality by Orochimaru's roar. While empathizing, he muttered to himself in his heart. While distracting himself from the sideways of his head a little, Naruto, who was at the tip of the iceberg that showed his true strength, became the backbone of the crowd, and asked out loud without hesitation.

"What do we do next? Naruto? ”

Between the words, if someone can look at the whole audience and look carefully, it is not difficult to find out...... The people who have this thought, led by Naruto, are obviously not the only ones who have no Yu.

Witnessing it with his own eyes, he not only saw Naruto's effective and excellent choice to successfully retreat from Orochimaru and help the women out of the siege with just one blow. What's more, after this, he skillfully cast the sealing technique, and the poisonous mist that was enough to make everyone helpless easily contain the fact of the seal. So much so that even though he didn't say it verbally, secretly, the eyes that looked at Naruto were more and more awe-inspiring. It is enough to prove that Naruto at this moment has the absolute right to speak among everyone!

After all, at the end of the day - in the world of Naruto, no matter how times change, the creed rule of the law of the jungle and the strong is always the same. So much so that compared to the beginning, it seems that there is no combat power at all, and the little fart who can only hide behind everyone and accept protection...... Naruto Uzumaki, who was able to occupy an overwhelming advantage in the brief confrontation with Orochimaru, is obviously more worthy of being put on an equal footing by everyone and given all their trust and support.

"Well, there's no way, I've done my best...... Since we haven't been able to hit Orochimaru hard, then all we can do next is the tried-and-true ultimate mystery......"

"The most ...... The ultimate mystery? What is that? ”

"The so-called ultimate mystery is, of course, ......"

From Ye Naiyu's words and the strange gazes projected by the people around him, he vaguely sensed that among the women, there was a sense of looking at himself as the only one. As a result, Naruto only paused for a moment after hearing Orochimaru's roar. He quickly stood upright from the ground, looked around, and looked thoughtfully. Immediately, in the puzzled eyes of the women, he stood on tiptoe with a confident and chic smile and slapped the women's arms one by one...... In the eyes of the women who quickly turned into stunned and surprised, they quickly fled with great strides and fled away, leaving only a faint and justified shout.

"Thirty-six plans, go for the top plan——!"

“…… Alas? Toll...... Naruto? ”

"That's it...... Just gone? ”

"Isn't it...... Could it be that this is a novel tactic? ”

At the same time, it was originally because after Naruto's move, the aggressive crisis was solved in an instant. At the same time that the three girls secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, they also subconsciously believed that even if Naruto couldn't defeat Orochimaru directly, he would definitely be a hidden powerhouse that was enough to make Orochimaru have a headache...... Driven by this "misunderstanding", the women were not worried and nervous when they heard Orochimaru's roar. On the contrary, it is faintly, as if it has found a solid and solid backer, and it seems quite relaxed and casual. So much so that in a hurry, when he saw Naruto's decisive retreat without delay, he showed a fact that was diametrically opposite to his own conjecture. The women naturally looked at each other, and they were stunned in place.

"Looks ...... Naruto really ran away......"

"Well, that's true...... So, what do we do next? ”

"Naruto has already run away, what else can I do? Of course, it's running along...... It's impossible to continue to wait stupidly and give your life here in vain, right? ”

Until the rich and cold killing intent aura that came from behind him, as time passed, it began to quickly close closer and close the distance. And as soon as Naruto's words fell, he quickly walked away without the slightest intention of turning back. After letting the ladies look at me and I look at you, I could only accept the truth of this fact with tears and laughter. Immediately, while worrying that Orochimaru would vent his resentment on himself after climbing up from the bottom of the building, they followed Naruto's footsteps and began to quickly flee away. On the one hand, because Naruto's previous unusually serious explanation, it was completely inconsistent with the real approach. While letting the women be busy keeping a distance from Orochimaru as much as possible, they all complained in their hearts.

"Thirty-six plans, go for the top plan...... I thought it was the ultimate mystery of something, and the result was ...... Isn't this just running away? Why do you have to say it so highly!? ”

And not long after the women followed Naruto's steps and left from the same place...... I don't know if it was the girls who were stunned and stunned, and they wasted too much time in vain. Or maybe the time it takes for Orochimaru to regain his strength is too short to be far beyond everyone's expectations. So much so that before the women could run a few steps, a black afterimage that exuded a cold killing intent that was almost substantial, jumped up from the big hole in the human form. Then, like a poisonous snake that had firmly locked onto its prey, it chased in the direction of Naruto's escape and the others at an extremely alarming speed. Even in just a few breaths, he easily caught up with Ye Naiyu and the others who were one step ahead! It was Orochimaru, who was completely annoyed and angry after being "despised and played" by Naruto!

"Not good! Orochimaru has already caught up from behind! ”

"What? Is it so fast......!? ”

"The chakra that I consumed earlier has not recovered at all...... Tsk, there's no way, instead of wasting our energy in vain, let's just stop here, we can help Naruto delay for a while...... Huh? ”

Facing the figure of Orochimaru, who is getting closer and closer, makes the women think that they are already in a catastrophe. As a result, he paused, pessimistically regarded himself as a useless outcast, and was ready to use his life as the last hole card to buy time as much as possible for Naruto's escape plan......

It was at this time that something even more unexpected happened......

Facing Nonoyu and the others who were close at hand, Orochimaru, who had previously made up his mind to exterminate Naruto and his party, did not hesitate to pause at all. On the contrary, in front of the restless and nervous looks of the women, as if they hadn't seen anything, they walked straight past the three women!

Obviously, the angry Orochimaru has long lost interest in Ye Naiyu and others as "accomplices". And compared to wasting time on these three people, what Orochimaru was looking forward to more was tearing apart Naruto who had made him so embarrassed with his own hands. And then use Naruto's blood to wash away the unbearable shame he suffered in public!

"Ah, I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky...... As I guessed, the target of that guy from Orochimaru was really me...... It's weird, isn't it just an elephant turned clone? As for making it so endless? ”

Regarding Orochimaru's aggressive pursuit momentum, Naruto, who seemed to be wandering away at will, had already sensed all this through his perception with all his might. And then after discovering that Orochimaru directly ignored Ye Naiyu and others, and chased straight after him without relenting. On the one hand, Ye Naiyu and the others, who were completely out of danger, felt secretly relieved. While quietly speeding up his pace for a while, so as not to relax for a while, he was really caught directly by Orochimaru in a positive manner.

Obviously, the so-called 36 plans are the best plans...... It's just a pretense that Naruto deliberately said to Orochimaru at the moment when he sensed Orochimaru's figure and had begun to climb upward......

After all, from the previous brief encounter, it was confirmed that Orochimaru had made up his mind to fight him to the end for some unknown reason......

Compared with staying by the side of the women every step of the way, passively waiting for the opportunity to break the siege...... Keeping a distance from Ye Naiyu and the others to avoid being accidentally injured by Orochimaru's attack in a state of rage, it is obviously more cost-effective! [Not to mention anything else, if Orochimaru uses the poisonous mist offensive again, under the interference of Orochimaru's main attack, Naruto will obviously not be able to distract himself to disperse the poisonous mist. Not to mention sealing the poisonous mist in a hurry like before! 】

In addition to this, Naruto also had some thoughts that he had to confront Orochimaru alone before he could have a chance to implement it......

First of all, it is the reason why Orochimaru suddenly attacked!

As early as the moment Orochimaru appeared, Naruto vaguely felt that his every move was under Orochimaru's locked observation. So much so that in a hurry, in the face of Orochimaru's sneak attack, Naruto did not choose to replace his main body with a shadow clone as before. Instead, they chose to use the stand-in technique, which is simpler and riskier to remedy and avoid disasters.

It is precisely because of this that Naruto, who seems to be running away in a panic, is actually taking advantage of the blind spot brought by taking the first step, and deliberately creates false footprints several times to try to cover his true travel route. And then use this as a basis to judge whether the sudden appearance and trouble of the Great Snake Pill can really lock his whereabouts, or whether it is an accidental event caused by a mistake.

And the other, and even more important, reason. It was in the previous attack that revealed that he had mastered the secret of the Flying Thunder God's technique, because of the fact that he had been nervous for a long time, and even deliberately pretended to be engrossed in sealing the poisonous mist, he was not able to suffer from the sneak attack of another member of the Akatsuki organization, so that Naruto was a little unbelievable, but he was more or less sure that Orochimaru was indeed alone to find fault......

In this case, Naruto, who only needs to fight alone with Orochimaru, naturally has his worries greatly alleviated. So much so that if Nonoyu and others were present, Naruto wouldn't be able to let go of his hands and feet.

After all......

If there are acquaintances present, and if you are staring at it, for the sake of personal image, how can you happily knock on the stuffy stick and plot against Orochimaru?!
