At the beginning of May of the 60th year of Konoha , at the entrance of an underground stronghold somewhere in the country of Tanokuni, the four people of Otoshinobi had solemn faces, and they were facing the four people of Fulito.

This is a stronghold of Orochimaru, the leader of the Otoshinobi. The task of greeting uninvited guests has always been done by the four of Otoshinobi.

It's just that after the initial contact between the two sides, the four of them realized that something was wrong. Jirobo's proud earth escape and brute force are like mud pills played by children in front of immobility, and even the spider sticky gold of the ghost boy pill can't break through the sclerosing technique of immobility; Left and right tried to break through to the enemy formation, but under the continuous bombardment of the five series of escape techniques without wind, they could not get close at all; Even Tayuya's illusion attack was easily cracked and made no achievements.

When the four of them were thinking about whether to open the curse seal two and give it a go, Bu Litu finished eating the sweet potato in his hand, and laughed loudly: "Orochimaru, this is not the first time we have dealt with each other, but the hospitality of your subordinates has not improved at all." ”

"Hehe, it's because you haven't been here for a long time, and these children don't know you." Orochimaru slipped out of the stronghold, waved his hand to signal the four of them to step back, and asked, "The lord who doesn't know you, what is he looking for me this time?" ”

"Hahaha, it seems that it is indeed my fault, I haven't been here for too long, and it seems that my allies have been snubbed." He put a scroll on the ground, and then led the three of them to take a few steps back, "That lord asked me to bring this to you, this is the itinerary of the four generations of Kazekage." As for the detailed garrison information of Konoha Village, it depends on your sincerity. ”

"Raksha? I'll bring someone there, as long as the information is true. Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked the corners of his mouth, "You will soon be able to see the corpses of the four generations of Kazekage." ”

"Hahaha, since that's the case, I'm waiting for your good news." Bu Litu laughed and left with a few people without wind, and reminded the four of them "kindly" before parting: "A few little ghosts over there, remember to listen quietly to the adults in the future, it is easy to suffer a big loss if you do it rashly." ”

Orochimaru stepped forward to take the scroll and saw that it was the content of a letter from the Daimyo of the Land of the Wind to Luo Sha, asking Luo Sha to go to the Land of the Wind in five days to discuss matters such as reducing military spending and mission quotas; It also recorded the detailed time, route and accompanying escort information of Luo Sha's trip.

"Orochimaru-sama, are they...?" After the four of them left, although they were a little dissatisfied with these people, the attack of the four of them just now was indeed completely suppressed by the other party, and it was understandable to be ridiculed.

"They're just a few ninjas who can escape." Orochimaru said lightly, "It's just that their organization's ability to gather intelligence is too strong, and the four of you will be suppressed just now, it seems that your intelligence should have been mastered by them." ”

"How so?" The four of them were all surprised, as Orochimaru's guards, they rarely showed up, and most of the time they stayed in the stronghold. There are very few living people I have come into contact with, and I have no idea that my information will be leaked out.

Orochimaru didn't continue to explain, but remembered that before he defected to Konoha, Sarutobi Hizashi personally led the dark department and raided the research institute.

He always believed that it was Kakashi who discovered the root ninja armor of Aki Shun and reported it to the three generations of Hokage. This aroused Hichi's suspicions, and Shimura Danzo specially warned himself about this. That old man was indeed powerful, but in a year or two, he was dug out of the stronghold where he studied the art of regeneration.

However, what happened at the Ibri clan's residence ten years ago couldn't help but make Orochimaru feel that the process of his defection to Konoha seemed to be under the calculations of that organization.

——

Ten years ago, there was a ninja group called Ibri in the Fire Country, and their clan had the ability to turn into smoke, which could be immune to physical damage after turning into smoke, and could even enter and control other people's bodies, and men and women of all ages could be combat power.

However, in a remote cave, at this time, half of the Ibri fell to the ground and did not know whether they were alive or dead, and the rest also glared at the two men and two women not far away with resentment, but they did not dare to make a move because of fear.

"Sure enough, as the lord said, this group of people will dissipate and die in the form of smoke once they are blown by the wind." Bufeng kicked and fell to the ground, and the Ibri, who had changed back into a human form from the form of smoke, showed a playful smile, "Looking at these blown away smoke, it reminds me of the days when I practiced wind escape in those years." ”

"Why can't you people listen quietly to what we have to say?" Bu Litu looked at the remaining Ibri people with a sad face, and said with a solemn face: "Fellow Ibri clan, you are about to die. But your souls will be guardians for all eternity..."

"My lord, someone is coming in this direction, it should be Orochimaru." Standing next to the cave wall, Bu Yuan stopped Tu Dun Yan Sense, and reported to Bu Litu: "The appearance is the same as the information provided by that adult, wearing a green vest of Konoha, and the right side of the abdomen is injured, and it looks like the injury is not light. ”

"So fast? Forget it, let's do it. Bu Litu waved his scepter at the remaining Ibri, and said with some regret, "I still want to experience the sense of ritual that the Lord said, but unfortunately there is not much time left for us, so we must try it next time." ”

When Orochimaru covered his wounds and rushed to the cave, he saw only the Ibri clan lying on the ground and a scroll spread out on the ground.

Traps? Orochimaru's vision was a little blurry because of his serious injury, so he had to squint his eyes and adjust the focus, and then he saw a passage on the scroll: "We know that you are seriously injured, so we have prepared this meeting gift for you." If you're interested, I'll talk to Tanokuni in detail..."

Gift? The seriously injured Orochimaru used his shulker hand to carefully grab an Ibri, and after making sure that there were no traps, he bit down on the neck...

Over time, most of the Ibri who had fallen to the ground had dissipated. And Orochimaru, who felt that his injuries had been relieved, was a little clearer.

Although Orochimaru was seriously injured, it was not difficult to deal with the Ibri clan who were confined by the curse seal, and he did not need the help of others. And the blood of these people is not enough to allow themselves to gain the ability to turn into smoke for a short time.

Judging from the surrounding traces, there were no more than three people who struck, and the technique was clean and neat, and the Ibri clan didn't seem to resist too much, and they were stunned to the ground.

"So it's not so much a greeting as a dismount, right?" Orochimaru sneered twice. "Is it a ninja from Tanokuni? I can go and see it..."

"Orochimaru-sama?" At this time, a freckled girl ran in from outside the cave, looking at the clansmen in one place, and looked at Orochimaru in astonishment.

"It's terrible, it's really not good," Orochimaru knew this girl, Yukimi, the daughter of the patriarch of the Ibri clan, and a pair of snake eyes stared at the trembling girl, "It seems that it must be your blood..."

Bu Litu was sitting at a three-way intersection outside the cave, lighting a fire and concentrating on roasting sweet potatoes.

Bufeng stood aside wearing a hat and complained impatiently, "How long do we have to wait here?" Isn't the mission already done? ”​

"There's also an optional quest to convince her to join the organization if we can meet the Ibri girl before the evening." Bu Bu helped Bu Litu roast sweet potatoes on the side, and explained to Bu Feng. "It's the one I didn't perceive before.,The girl who left the cave with the two Konoha shadows.。

"Isn't it? We're going to wipe out the whole family and then run to recruit the only survivor? Bufeng smiled exaggeratedly: "That adult's style of acting is really more and more in line with my appetite." ”

"The Ibri clan, who are loyal to Orochimaru, has no value in the first place for the Fire Country." Bu Yuan, who was touching up his makeup on the side, said nonchalantly: "No, it's up to you to recruit that little girl, and I'll invite you to chocolate when I go back." ”

"I really don't know what's so delicious about that sweet and greasy thing, does it smell like roasted sweet potato?" Bu Litu half-jokingly handed Bu Feng a roasted sweet potato, but he also recognized that Bu Feng would communicate with the girl to make his image better, "Remember, when you talk about the extermination of Ibri for a while, your expression is serious, and you are not allowed to laugh." ”

"Hahaha, don't worry, I'm a ninja." Bufeng tried his best to squeeze out a sad expression of a rabbit and a dead fox, "No matter how funny it is, I won't laugh unless I can't help it..."

Kakashi had known for a long time that the ninja world could not be thought of in terms of common sense, but the scene in front of him was still somewhat unrealistic.

Yukimi, who was drained of her blood by Orochimaru and died of the erosion of the curse mark, was actually reborn in the combination of the wood escape of the armor and the smoke of the soul of the Ibri tribe to form a tree.

Looking at the root in front of him, but with a happy face. Kakashi thought it was better not to report to the village, he hadn't met Orochimaru and the Peculiar Clan, nor had he met anyone with roots...

After that, the three people who climbed out of the cave to bask in the sun, and the four people who ate sweet potatoes around the fire, met so naturally.

Kakashi subconsciously took out the kunai and stared at the four of them with a wary expression; A clenched the short knife on his back, protecting Yukimi behind him, and his face was a little solemn.

He had just used Mu Dun to consume a large amount of chakra, and Kakashi's condition was not too good, facing four people...

"We're not enemies, the ninjas of Konoha." Bu Litu pointed to the waist cloth embroidered with "Underworld" on his body, and said lightly: "We are the people of the underworld, and the organization has also cooperated with you Konoha Village. ”

"As far as I know, you're a Chamber of Commerce organization, right? Why did you go out of your way to such a remote place? "Kakashi does know that this recently emerging chamber of commerce organization has a good reputation in the Fire Country. But the appearance of a person organized by the Chamber of Commerce in such a remote place really reassures him.

"Brother Konoha, of course we have a mission here!" At this time, Bufeng smiled like a flower, completely devoid of the bloodthirsty cruelty in the cave before, "We are ordered to find the people of the Ibri clan and invite them to join the organization." ”

"No, how can you reveal the content of the mission at will?" Bu Litu's face darkened, and he reproached a little unpleasantly.

"What's the matter, we can't find the Ibri anyway." Bufeng pouted slightly, and tilted his head to the side angrily, "If we can't find it before this evening, our mission will fail, and I won't be able to eat delicious strawberry cake." ”

The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, and the long blood-colored hair was sprinkled with colorful light and shadow, and the picture was too beautiful and deceptive.

"Everybody's dead... There's no more Ibri anymore..."It's hard to say whether Kakashi has been deceived or not, but Pure Yukimi's voice can't help but choke up a little when he thinks of the clansmen who have dissipated in the cave because of the lack of wind.

Hearing Yukimi's words, Bufeng's mouth slowly recovered, and it was replaced by a little stunned. Twisting his head to the side, he also turned to Yukimi, and was just right to be silent for a while, and said in a slightly vague muttering manner, "Please mourn and change." Little sister, are you going to live in Konoha Village next? ”

Yukimi glanced at the armor that looked very much like his younger brother Tenzo, and shook his head, "I want to walk around, keep moving forward, and walk out of my own path." ”

"Would you like to join us?" Bufeng smiled excitedly at Xue Mi, his eyes bent like crescent moons, "The organized caravans are all over the country, and the merchants are running around from all over the world, which should be very suitable for you." ”

Jia pulled Xue Jian and shook his head, although he had also heard of the Chamber of Commerce organization of the Fire Country. But he is still suspicious of the identities of Bufeng and a few people, and he is unwilling to let this girl he cares about leave with Bufeng.

Xue Jian nodded, and said to Jia: "Even if the wind blows again, I won't be afraid." I want to move forward, for my own future. ”

"Giggles, little sister, your little boyfriend still cares about you." Bufeng immediately changed to a narrow expression, and smiled with his mouth covered, "But don't get me wrong, even if you agree to join the underworld, little sister, you can only go to the nearest town to find the organization's chamber of commerce base to register, we have other tasks, can we take you..."

"No wind, stop chatting, it's time for us to go." Bu Litu put on an impatient look, urging the wind.

"Got it..."Bufu said as he reached into the ninja bag, took out a few pieces of the currency of the Fire Country, stuffed them into Yukimi's hand, and then left with Futachito, "Take it, no matter what, you always need to live, right?" ”

After the four of Bu Litu left, Bu Feng smiled quite smugly after making sure that there were no tails behind a few people: "How is it?" How is my acting? Is it time to transform into an actress? Did you notice the look on the imp's face? If she still doesn't obediently join Hades, I'll perform a handstand for you to wash your hair. ”

Bu Litu praised Bufeng with a sentence of "well done", and then pointed in the direction of the country of the sea with his scepter, "No, send a message to the people in the eastern stronghold, let them prepare their ships to go to sea, we will go to the country of the sea." ”

"Huh? Didn't you go to Tanokuni to find Orochimaru? Bufeng was a little puzzled, "That lord designed to force Orochimaru out of Konoha and made so many arrangements, and now Orochimaru is seriously injured and escapes, isn't it the best time to recruit him?" ”

"It's enough to plant the seeds, and people like Orochimaru can only cooperate, not enough to be our companions." Bu Litu turned his head and glanced gloomily in the direction of Tian Zhiguo, but his tone was quite playful: "Let Orochimaru go to the Rain Country Naxiao Organization for a few years first, and then he will have the value of cooperating with us, which is also what the Lord meant." ”
