Chapter 42: The Hyuga Team's Crisis
The darkness seems to be particularly long.
Especially for Rey and his party.
The darkness was like a high wall, obscuring their eyes. Their enemies can come and go in the darkness as they please.
Except for the occasional two red dots, the enemy's movements are almost completely undetectable.
It's just that no matter how thick the clouds are, they can't obscure the sky forever.
The torrential rain gradually subsided, and the rainforest finally lit up.
Although the light was still dim, this level of light was enough for the ninja to protect themselves, not to be slaughtered by others as before.
In just a few hours, there were only nine people left in Rey's team.
The weaker Iwa Shinobi and Misty Shinobi have been slaughtered.
On the one hand, it was because of his lack of strength, and on the other hand, Rey did not treat these people as companions, and deliberately left these ninjas at the outskirts of the defensive circle.
Rey looked at the dense forest that was gradually brightening, and felt more and more that he had made a wise choice.
Now, once again, hunters and hunters exchange identities.
Finally it was their turn to fight back.
"Uchiha Itachi..."
He gritted his teeth and spat out a name.
At this moment, Uchiha Itachi once again rushed out of the forest, this time targeting the westernmost Yunnin.
The light ruthlessly betrayed his position.
Rey's feet slammed into the ground, mud splashing.
In the next second, his fist hit Itachi Uchiha hard.
Black shards obscured his eyes, and a barrage of exclamations rang out behind him.
Rey's team is one less person.
。。。。。。。。
Hinata stood at the end of the line, taking in everything around him, and no slight movement could escape his sight.
His cheeks were bulging, and his eyes were as white as white.
This is the blood inheritance limit of the Hyuga clan, "White Eyes".
It is precisely because of these eyes that they can move in this dark forest without any scruples.
His face suddenly became solemn, and in the midst of his eyes, a figure was rapidly approaching the Hyuga team.
As if the hearts were connected, Inuzuka Hana, who was walking at the front of the line, stopped at the same time.
On either side of her body, the hair on the two ninja dogs stood on end like steel needles, and an unsettling growl came from her mouth.
"Be careful, there are enemies."
Inuzuka Hana gestures to the two teammates behind her to prepare for battle.
Farther away, Sarutobi Nanami quickened his pace and followed closely behind Hinata Mumita, as if this was the only way to make him feel safe in the murderous rainforest.
A teenager wearing a sand ninja forehead appeared in the sight of several people.
"It's damn weather, it's been delayed a lot...
He sighed as he smiled at the few people who were on the verge of a great enemy.
The smile looked weird and fake, not like a human smile, but like someone had drawn it on the face with a pen.
"Konoha's imps are more cunning than the other, and it's too hard to find."
His voice was gloomy and sad, with an old-fashioned look.
It's hard to imagine hearing such a voice from the mouth of a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy.
Listening to his tone, there is no doubt that the target is a few people in Konoha.
"Ashmaru!"
With Inuzuka Hana's command, one person and two dogs rushed out at the same time, like three sharp arrows, pounced on the sand ninja boy from different directions.
The face of the sand ninja boy began to distort and deform at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into the appearance of a middle-aged ninja.
The pale yellow pupils shone with a greedy and cold light, as if it was a poisonous snake that was eyeing and poised to move.
His arm suddenly stretched infinitely, swinging lightly in the air like a whip.
"Smack, smack, smack."
Three crunching sounds.
The sound of hitting the ground was heard from three different places.
"Hurry up, I'll stop him!"
The oil girl mallet and Hinata Xiangtai rushed towards the boy at the same time with angry shouts.
At the same time, they recognized the true identity of the young man.
。。。。。。。。
Orochimaru...
One of the legendary Three Shinobi who left Konoha shortly after failing to compete with the fourth Hokage of Ha Feng Mizumon.
The Konoha higher-ups say that Orochimaru conducted secret human experiments in an inhumane manner and brutally killed children.
During the pursuit operation commanded by the three generations of Hokage apes, Orochimaru escaped with serious injuries and eventually betrayed Konoha and became a traitorous ninja.
Of course, this is just what the upper echelons of Konoha want to tell the people of Konoha.
As for the truth of the matter, only a few of the parties themselves know.
But why did Orochimaru appear in the Land of Rain? Appearing in the exam room of the Chunin exam?
Hinata rushed to the opponent he knew he couldn't defeat, full of questions.
Nothing unexpected happened.
As a ninja who is good at physical arts, he can't even get close to Orochimaru's body.
A foot away from Orochimaru, an arm like a giant python slammed into his body.
His body smashed a large hole in the ground like a boulder, and he almost passed out.
He struggled to get up from the ground, and in an instant it seemed that heaven and earth were turned upside down.
Scarlet liquid trickled down the corners of his mouth, quickly leaving red spots on his black ninja suit.
He shook his head heavily, forcing himself to come to his senses as quickly as possible. In the face of an enemy of Orochimaru's strength, if there is no accident, everyone in his team will die here.
The swaying figures and trees in front of me finally stabilized and turned into real images.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that Inuzuka Hana was lying not far from him. The two ninja dogs, on the other hand, were dying and couldn't even stand up.
"You guys get out of here!"
The oil girl's body was scattered in the air by Orochimaru's snake arm, and it quickly condensed into a human form.
As if he had gone mad, he rushed towards Orochimaru again and again, and was shattered again and again.
Judging from the weaker and weaker chakra fluctuations in him, it is obvious that it will not last long.
Hinata endured the sharp pain in her body and picked up Inuzuka Hana, who was unconscious.
His gaze swept around, wanting to seek Ape Fei's help.
But except for the oil girl mallet who is still desperately stopping Orochimaru, there is still half a figure.
Ape Fei Nanami, who was nearby half a minute ago, has long since disappeared without a trace.
。。。。。。。。
Hinata gritted her teeth, tears in her eyes, and plunged into the woods.
Nara Shikamaru and Uchiha Itachi must be found as soon as possible.
Orochimaru's target is obviously not just their team. With the deep feud between Orochimaru and Konoha, he will not let go of any ninja related to Konoha.
Only if all the Konoha ninjas join forces will it be possible to fight this terrifying enemy.
