"Damn, you dare to play sneak attack in front of me! Isn't the lesson taught to those miscellaneous people in the root organization base camp deep enough? ”

After rescuing the small fan from the sneak attack, Naruto's heart was full of anger, originally thinking that it was just the remnants of the root organization, the thief was immortal, and came to seek revenge, so he was full of thoughts about how to torture the other party to death to vent his anger, but after inadvertently seeing the true face of the "hidden weapon" that suddenly attacked was actually a sinister poisonous snake with a fierce light exposed, his anger faded, and was replaced by a terrifying chill that went deep into his spine, as if he couldn't help but burst out with a foul language as if to vent the huge gap in his heart.

"It's ...... Snake......? Holy! Orochimaru?! ”

As a ninja, in addition to mastering ninjutsu for offense and defense, it is also a common skill to use props, creatures and other means to assist in amplifying oneself, and there are countless factions of magic derived from this...... But a ninja who is good at driving poisonous snakes to attack, powerful and hostile to the Konoha Ninja Village, Naruto didn't even have to think about it before a pale face like a woman appeared in his mind, and the identity of the attacker was revealed in the words of instinct - it was the real shadow-level powerhouse who was once called Konoha Sannin with Jiraiya and Senju Tsunade, but finally chose to defect to Konoha and his whereabouts are unknown, Orochimaru!

“…… Oh, not only did I dodge the attack, but I also recognized my identity...... What a surprise little ghost. ”

Almost at the same time as Naruto's subconscious burst of exclamation, as if to confirm Naruto's conjecture in his heart, a soft and cold sound of surprise came out of the darkness as the poisonous snake's supposed sneak attack failed, and then the footsteps were not light and heavy, and gradually approached like a leisurely stroll, and finally under the dim lights on both sides of the road, a man with a pale complexion and a red auspicious cloud robe on a black background appeared in front of Naruto and Sasuke with a smile and applause. After a moment's pause, he slapped his hands and wiped the fresh blood stains on his clothes, squinting at the little kid in front of him who should be a non-threatening existence in front of him, and finally fixed his eyes on Naruto, who was bound to miss the blow, and continued with interest.

"I didn't expect that those garrisons who claimed to be elite but were vulnerable were not as capable as a stinky hairy boy...... Ha, should I say that the new generation has excellent potential, or should I say that the high-level combat power of the village has become more and more corrupt and incompetent over the years, so that even the members of the special forces responsible for guarding the safety of the frontier have begun to be shoddy? ”

"This look...... Sure enough, it's you, Orochimaru......"

Although Naruto was reluctant to face the reality in his heart, after Orochimaru revealed his true nature, he tried to comfort himself with the fact that the appearance of Orochimaru depicted in the original book was different from the person in front of him and the impression that it might not be Orochimaru himself. But when I saw the purple slender eyeshadow carved on the corner of the person's eyes in front of me, the golden snake pupils that were vertically constricted into lines, and the terrifying coercion that seemed to be firmly bound by the python that was swallowing the snake letter, the fangs were clenched, and the body was weak and difficult to move...... After such obvious iconic features, without exception, they became ironclad evidence to prove the identity of the perpetrator in front of him, and through reason, he ruthlessly and forcefully reminded Naruto that the person in front of him was indeed the cold fact that the person in front of him was indeed the Orochimaru deity who had disappeared for many years after defecting!

"Although it has been determined that this guy is Orochimaru...... But, how is this possible...... He should have appeared only after killing and replacing the identity of the fourth generation of Kazekage, and guiding the Sand Hidden Village to invade the Konoha Ninja Village during the middle ninja exam...... Even if history is skewed because I destroyed the group, the timeline won't be so much earlier, right? Not to mention that I'm only a little over four years old now, judging from the way Orochimaru is dressed, this guy is obviously still a member of the Xiao organization! If this is not handled well, let him attract those monsters who are so strong that they are comparable to tailed beasts to help, then will it not let people live? This is obviously trying to play dead directly, right?! ”

It's not that Naruto doesn't have the slightest chance of escaping in front of Orochimaru, in fact, if the forces represented behind Orochimaru are only the sound ninja village and the deceived Sand Hidden Village that he created himself like the middle ninja exam when he was twelve years old, Naruto didn't have much worry or fear about Orochimaru...... After all, although Orochimaru is a real shadow-level powerhouse, the coercion is a little small compared to the tsundere tenant Nine Lama who had to riot and stimulate from time to time before Naruto's admission of the symbiotic relationship between his partners. What's more, the current situation Orochimaru is obviously the same as Danzo, because of the immature age of Naruto and Sasuke's appearance, he didn't take the enemy to heart...... As long as Naruto finds the opportunity to unleash the Flying Thunder God Technique, he can escape with a small group of fans in an instant! At that time, Orochimaru, who doesn't know space-time ninjutsu at all, naturally has no threat to Naruto and Sasuke!

However, now Orochimaru's standard costume from the Akatsuki organization has subverted this premise, Naruto not only has to be distracted and concerned about the huge power of the Akatsuki organization represented behind Orochimaru's clothes, so that Naruto has to conceal the existence of most of his hole cards, including the Flying Thunder God's technique, and invisibly strangled Naruto's thoughts of directly slipping away in the cradle. It even put Naruto in a situation where he had to think twice and carefully consider whether he should even expose his identity as a human pillar and use the power of the Nine Lamas to fight against Orochimaru!

This is not comparable to the trivial trouble encountered in eradicating the root tissue a year and a half ago! However, under the premise that Naruto had full control of the complete destruction and obliteration of the three generations of Hokage's assistance, the group and the root organization were able to play all kinds of hole cards they had without any scruples! After all, it is impossible for a dead person, especially a group of people who have been crushed and ashes, to spread this kind of secret information to anyone! And the three generations of Hokage and others who participated in the operation were too late to care about Naruto, and it was impossible to make a move that would obviously do Naruto all harm and no benefit!

It is precisely because of the different threat levels that Naruto is facing the deadliest crisis in his life......

It was at the risk of being known as the Akatsuki organization, or rather the existence of one of the final bosses in the Naruto world, Uchiha Obito, who sensed the potential threat and pursued it himself, and completely wiped out the world before he could grow up completely, and resolutely took Sasuke to use the Flying Thunder God technique to avoid war with Orochimaru and avoid the edge for the time being......

Or do you keep and seal all the hole cards, including the tail beast and the art of the flying thunder god, and hit the stone with an egg and go head-to-head?

"I thought I could at least last until the end of the middle ninja exam, but I didn't expect the retribution brought about by the change in history to show up so quickly...... Whew, no matter which option you choose, there is only one way to determine the outcome. ”

After a long silence, Naruto slowly took a deep breath to try to calm his restless mood, his fists suddenly clenched and the corners of his mouth pulled into a reluctant wry smile, and he muttered in a low voice.

"This time, I'm afraid I'm really going to get rid of it......"
