Inside the cave.

The village chief stood by the entrance of the cave, looking a little anxious, until he saw Lu Ning who appeared from a distance, and he was relieved.

Lu Ning told them that he was going outside to help look at the wind, but he didn't come back for so long, he thought something was wrong and wanted to go out to find Lu Ning, but he didn't dare.

"Jiuhe, you're back, hey, this is ...... on you"

Looking at Lu Ning who came over, the village chief first breathed a sigh of relief, but then saw the wounds and blood stains on Lu Ning's body, and couldn't help but be shocked.

Lu Ning made a slightly weak appearance and said, "I met a few bandits and fought with them, but fortunately there is a knife from you from the village chief." ”

There are not many ninjas in this world, more of them are ordinary people, and there are naturally many thieves in this war era, and they may be encountered at any time in the wilderness.

Hearing Lu Ning's words, the village chief couldn't help but exclaim: "Bandit? Are you okay. ”

"I'm fine, only a minor injury."

Lu Ning waved his hand at the village chief, signaling that he was fine.

Seeing that Lu Ning's complexion was acceptable and his speech was not too weak, the village chief couldn't help but gradually relax his heart, sighed and said, "This world, alas, ......"

"I made a trip back to the village."

Lu Ning said slowly to the village chief: "The village is occupied, I don't know if it's a ninja, I didn't dare to approach, it seems that we can't go back for the time being." ”

Hearing Lu Ning's words, the village chief also showed a dignified expression.

Although it was hard to live in this cave, it was better than risking his life, and he said in a deep voice on crutches, "If it's a ninja, you should be leaving soon, and it's better to wait a little longer." ”

has been recognized by the village chief, plus Lu Ning, although there are many villagers who want to go back, but Lu Ning said, 'You go ahead', he wilted.

No one dares to risk their lives.

After re-stabilizing the villagers and making sure that he could still command these villagers at will, Lu Ning came to the entrance of the cave, sat down in his place, and thought about specific things.

A ninja like Orochimaru, even if he hasn't grown to the peak now, just an elite ninja, he must not get too close, Lu Ning feels that there may be a danger of being discovered for a few hundred meters.

But.

It is precisely because of the existence of Orochimaru that he has extremely strong acuity, but it is easier for him to make some guidance, and if he sprinkles a few drops of blood at intervals, he may be able to guide successfully.

"In the information you gave before, Orochimaru has the sense of smell of a snake? How far should I keep from him, is it a safe distance? ”

The nightmare space was briefly analyzed, and said: "More than five hundred meters." ”

"The weather in the Land of Rain is rainy all year round, and it is easy to wash away the smell, unless it is a large amount of blood or a unique smell, it will not spread too far, your idea is a little unrealistic, and the perception of Orochimaru itself is also very strong."

Nightmare Space commented on Lu Ning's simple thoughts.

Lu Ning's eyebrows trembled, and he said, "I'm just thinking about it casually, of course I know that it won't be so easy, you make me very shameless like this." ”

Nightmare Space said, "You think you're the red-haired Shanks? ”

“？？？”

Hearing this, Lu Ning's eyes suddenly widened,? This nightmare space even knows the stalk of 'face fruit', it's fake!

"It's strange if I don't know."

Nightmare Space calmly responded, "Nightmare Space's penetration rate into the real world reached 99% at its peak, and it was basically close to complete control. ”

Lu Ning hit mercilessly: "But now you don't even have one percent of your control over the real world." ”

Nightmare Space: "......"

……

Trickling raindrops fell on the muddy ground.

Under the canopy of a huge tree, a group of ninjas wearing the forehead guards of Konoha Village are sitting on the ground, clearing the ground and crafting some stones.

There were some dry food on the stones, everyone was eating slowly, no one spoke, and the atmosphere in the procession seemed to be as silent and oppressive as the weather.

Rustling!

At this moment, from the muddy water in the distance, a small snake swam in.

The little snake swam straight to the edge of the line, a black-haired, white-faced figure that slipped through his trouser legs.

The ninja next to him saw the little snake and asked the man, "Orochimaru-sama, have you found anything?" ”

"In that direction, there are corpses."

Orochimaru's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked in one direction, and the little snake conveyed very clear information about the smell to him.

In the land of drizzling rain, whether it is the smell of blood or the rancid smell of corpses, they will be washed away over time, and this time, judging by the smell, it should be a human corpse, and the time of death is no more than five days.

Hearing Orochimaru's words, the ninja's face suddenly changed slightly.

"Let me investigate."

"No need, let's go together."

Orochimaru opened his mouth with a calm face, but his tone gave people a chilling feeling.

A few days ago, Konoha's large army and Sand Hide's large army encountered, and after a big battle, Sand Hide's large army was scattered.

And the task of these people is to destroy those scattered sand ninjas!

"Yes."

The efficiency of the ninja is surprisingly high, not to mention that the lowest of the people present are all middle ninjas, and no one raised any objections, all of them finished eating in three or two bites and stood up.

One of them sealed and released an earth escape ninjutsu that erased the traces.

The group turned into black shadows and ran under the rain curtain.

Soon.

Everyone came to a sparse jungle, and Orochimaru took the lead into the jungle and soon found three decomposing corpses.

"It's a ninja from the sand hide."

There was little need to check, and a look at the signs on their clothes and forehead guards would tell that the three were ninjas from the Sand Hidden Village.

However, at this moment, everyone showed a hint of surprise.

How did the ninja of the sand hide die here?

"Did the other team do it?"

The task of exterminating the scattered Sand Hidden Ninjas was not only their team, but there were also two other teams, but there was no overlap in the search areas of the three teams.

Orochimaru leaned down and stared at the wounds of the three corpses carefully, then stood up, looked at the remaining traces of battle on the trees around him, closed his eyes slightly, and added a few images to his mind.

"Killed by the same person."

Orochimaru opened his eyes and spoke slowly.

The only one who can kill a ninja is a ninja, and no matter how unexpected an ordinary person is, it is almost impossible to kill a ninja, not to mention that there are three corpses here.

So the question is, who is this ninja and why did you kill the ninja in the sand?

"Is it a guy from Iwakure?"

A person next to him asked with a frown.

Orochimaru shook his head and said, "If it is a person from Iwakuin, he will definitely find a way to hide his traces, and he will not leave immediately after killing people, and he will not even clean up the scene." ”

If it's not from Iwakure, and it's not from Konoha, it's worth thinking about.

"Could it be Yuyin's people?"

"It's possible."

Orochimaru nodded, and then his gaze suddenly froze.

He looked up at a tree in the distance, and then walked towards it, only to see that someone had carved an arrow out of the tree.

A few words were also written under the arrow.

There's a sand shinobi over there.

“……”

Orochimaru's expression froze.

The expressions of many middle ninjas also froze.

Everyone looked at the sign on the tree in a daze, and three question marks popped up on their heads.

What's so ...... What's going on?!

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, the atmosphere is indescribably weird for a while.

Even Orochimaru showed a strange expression and said, "It seems that I was wrong, that guy didn't clean up the scene, but deliberately brought us over." ”

As soon as he heard Orochimaru's words, the faces of the many Zhongnin present suddenly changed slightly, and several of them almost immediately took a defensive posture and looked around.

Since someone deliberately brought them in, there is likely to be a trap!

"There's no one around here."

Orochimaru was not too vigilant, but shook his head, he had already released the little snake to explore before entering the woods, and there was no one in this kilometer radius.

He stared at the arrow, and the handwriting underneath.

"Orochimaru-sama, what are we going to do?"

Several Nakashinobi next to him had strange expressions, and someone couldn't help but ask.

This is the first time everyone has encountered this situation, and there are also deliberately carved arrows in the trees to lead them over?!

Only fools will pass!

……

Five miles away from the woods.

Places close to the canyon.

Lu Ning was crouching behind a raised rock, constantly obtaining traces and movements of Orochimaru and his party from the nightmare space.

"How? Did they move? ”

"Investigate in the direction you pointed out."

Nightmare Space responded mechanically, but there was always an indescribable strangeness in the words, because Lu Ning's operation really made it difficult to evaluate, and if it was to be evaluated, it could only be said.

'Wise'!

Suffocating operation.

"I knew it."

Lu Ning showed a smile on his face and said, "There are three kinds of people in this world, fools, ordinary people, and geniuses. ”

He leaned against the stone, looked up at the sky at a thirty-degree angle, and said slowly: "The Buddha said, the first realm, looking at the mountain is the mountain, looking at the water is the water, this is the fool, the second realm, looking at the mountain is not the mountain, seeing the water is not water, this is the ordinary person." ”

"As for the third realm, looking at the mountains or the mountains, looking at the water is still the water, of course, it is a genius like Orochimaru, although it is still so much worse than me."

Nightmare Space: "......"

I'll just watch you pretend quietly.
