The branches in the forest are tied, layered on top of each other, dense and opaque, and the cold is deep.

As Shikamaru's words fell, Orochimaru's snake eyes tightened.

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became tense, and Orochimaru's body bent slightly, his steps moved slightly, and he made a fighting stance.

"It will certainly not be a simple thing to be able to make Orochimaru, one of the three shinobi of Konoha and return to Konoha again, regardless of the danger."

Shikamaru smiled, not caring at all about Orochimaru's appearance.

"You know too much!"

Orochimaru stretched out his hand slightly, and a shuriken burst out in an instant, passing through Shikamaru's sideburns and hitting him behind him.

"Looks like those traps you've set up aren't of much use!"

Shikamaru smiled slightly, and Orochimaru frowned and ignored it. The seal in his hand, the shuriken he was controlling turned into countless and flew into the shadows not far away.

The shadows were dim, and the surroundings were empty, but with Orochimaru's shuriken array, it suddenly arrived. A ninja flashed out of it, a light footstep and a quick backward movement.

It's just that the shuriken array controlled by Orochimaru has no dead ends, and the ninja seems to be aware of this. In times of crisis, he seals his hands.

"Water escape. The Art of the Water Prison. ”

A huge ball of water shot out of thin air, completely enveloping the ninja's body, defending against Orochimaru's fatal blow.

"Mist Shinobi?"

Above the branches, Shikamaru looked at the water balloon in the distance and muttered. At this time, Orochimaru had already attacked the ninja first. It can be seen that Orochimaru is more concerned about the secrecy of his trip, and he can't tolerate a trace of accidents, and wants to strangle all dangers in the cradle.

Shikamaru stood on a branch and watched the play. As one of the three ninjas of Konoha, Orochimaru is usually obsessed with ninjutsu research, but once he makes a move, he is resolute.

In just a short moment, Orochimaru's hands were sealed, and he had already issued four or five ninjutsu in a row, and one was more weird than the other, and the angle of his attack was even more tricky.

Usually the ninjas who come to inquire about intelligence are good at hiding and investigating, and Orochimaru also knows this, so he plans to kill with one blow and does not intend to delay time.

It's just that under Orochimaru's series of attacks, that ninja is at ease. Even, in between Orochimaru's attacks, the ninja saw the opportunity and reflexively kicked Orochimaru instead.

Looking at Orochimaru, who was knocked back by a blow, Shikamaru jumped down from the branch and quietly took two steps forward, looking at the ninja who was on guard in front of him.

"You don't look like a little person!"

"I didn't expect that the sister-in-law of the Nara family, who just returned to Konoha Village a few days ago, would actually collude with Konoha's traitorous ninja."

"It's not collusion, it's just some contact!"

Shikamaru smiled, and the figure disappeared in place in an instant. The ninja looked around, and when Shikamaru reappeared, he was already behind him, faintly forming a flanking attack with Orochimaru.

"I didn't expect that the famous dried persimmon ghost shark in Wuyin Village would actually be a pawn who snooped on intelligence."

The dried persimmon ghost shark was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that the other party could actually recognize his identity, and couldn't help but be more vigilant.

"Snooping on intelligence?"

The dried persimmon ghost shark showed its teeth as hard as a shark and said, "Although this is in Konoha, you are more afraid of being exposed than me!" ”

Orochimaru's brow furrowed slightly. The words of the dried persimmon ghost shark hit his heart. In the hearts of the top officials of Konoha, the danger level of Orochimaru is definitely the highest level.

Not only because of his own strength, but also because of Orochimaru's familiarity with Konoha Village. Therefore, once Orochimaru's whereabouts are leaked, Konoha will not stop until he investigates.

This is a dangerous person. In Orochimaru's heart, this thought flashed through him for a moment. He was about to think about how to kill the dried persimmon shark in the shortest possible time when Shikamaru spoke.

"Why don't we make a deal?"

"Deal?"

"I've heard the name of the dried persimmon ghost shark, so I naturally know your strength. I'm teaming up with Orochimaru to take you down in a short period of time, maybe it's possible, but it's bound to make a big commotion, enough to alarm the entire Konoha. ”

Speaking of this, Shikamaru spread his hands, and the dead fish's eyes opened.

"So, if we let you go, you don't have to say anything. Anyway, before you Kiri Shinobi ask Konoha for benefits, there is no conflict with Orochimaru. What do you think? ”

The shark-like eyes of the dried persimmon ghost shark stared at Shikamaru tightly, looking at the flawless smile on the other party's face to some extent, but the more he felt that the child in front of him was unfathomable.

"I agreed!"

The two looked at Orochimaru, only to see that the other party also waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, let's disperse separately!" ”

The dried persimmon ghost shark got the promise of the two of them, and his figure flashed, and he quickly left the woodland.

"For me, there's really nothing in conflict between them and me. But for you, is it really good to let the Kirist Shinobi know about your existence? ”

Shikamaru didn't answer Orochimaru's doubts, just smiled slightly. A shadow quietly appeared in the woodland, revealing a half-human form, and then blending into the shadows of the earth like muddy water.

"Looks like you've already prepared!"

Orochimaru slowly walked towards Shikamaru and looked at the place where the Flowing Shadow had disappeared.

"Don't forget! For ninjas, spying on intelligence and infiltrating enemy camps is a basic job! ”

"So, in Wuyin Village, do you also have eyeliner?"

Orochimaru's low voice slowly spit out. Before he could finish speaking, his attention was drawn to distant sounds.

"It seems that the mechanism you set up really has no effect!"

In order not to be noticed by the people of Konoha, the organs set up by Orochimaru in this forest are all vigilant. It's just that at the same time as the alarm was set up by the mechanism he set up, the noisy sound over there had already been heard.

It can be said that the mechanism set up by Orochimaru is useless.

Listen to some familiar voices in the distance. Shikamaru said, "Can you psychic two snakes that are not poisonous?" ”

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, looked at the approaching figure, seemed to notice something, and said very angrily: "No! ”

Subsequently, Orochimaru's figure disappeared. And almost at the same time, under the leadership of Shiro, Konoha's small powerhouses, including Nara Yu, appeared in front of Shikamaru.

Seeing Shikamaru, among the small powerhouses, the first to attack was not Naratama, but Naruto Uzumaki.

He pointed at Shikamaru and said loudly, "What! Bai said that you have something to go first. I didn't expect you to be so cunning and actually came here first. You must want to outperform us in the next hunt, right? ”

Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief, although his appearance had changed a lot, some things still hadn't changed.

For example, Naruto's IQ.
