"Good, big snake!"

Naruto's eyes widened in surprise, seeing such a huge python for the first time in his life made his vision suffer an unprecedented impact, and he stayed in place for a while.

"Naruto, don't be there in a daze!"

Sasuke retreated to a safe area where the snake couldn't attack, gritting his teeth and glaring at the snake that had suddenly attacked.

This snake is not a desert species. Sasuke judged at a glance that the strangely large giant snake in front of him was not a sand snake species in the Demon Desert.

If you exclude the sand snake species that are not in the desert, then there is only one possibility that Sasuke can think of - this is a large snake that is artificially channeled.

The level of creature summoned by spiritism is determined by the chakra used by the practitioner.

To put it simply, the more chakras you use when performing spiritism, the more powerful the summoned psychic beast becomes.

Seeing the huge snake in front of him that was twenty or thirty meters long, swinging in a random posture could cause strong destructive power, Sasuke's heart was suddenly extremely vigilant.

To be able to summon a psychic beast of this level, the strength of the sorcerer is definitely above him.

Among the lower ninja candidates, is there a guy of this level? Sasuke recalled all the shinobi who cleared the first exam, although he couldn't say that he could judge the strength of most of the candidates, but the strong shinobi, he could still faintly feel it from it by virtue of the writing wheel eye.

Who the hell is it? Sasuke's eyes continued to search around, trying to find the sorcerer who had come out of the psychic snake from the corner of the ruins.

If, while dealing with this great snake, the sorcerer suddenly comes and makes a surprise attack, the situation will instantly turn against them.

However, after searching with his eyes for a while, Sasuke still couldn't find anything unusual in the ruins.

Everything seemed so dead and deep, only the cold wind mixed with the smell of the serpent's body, blowing in its face.

"Sasuke! Naruto! Are you alright? ”

Sakura was also startled by the sudden appearance of the serpent in front of her, and her voice trembled a little with fear.

"Sakura-chan, take care to protect yourself, this thing is not easy to deal with!"

Sasuke took out a kunai from his ninja bag and held it with his backhand, and the chakra in his body began to flow to kunai, and the kunai was instantly covered by dense electric light, enhancing kunai's attack power while also making kunai have a paralyzing effect.

Without hesitation, when Orochimaru raised his head and was about to launch the next charge, Sasuke rushed forward first, and only the afterimage of him as he moved could be seen along the way, and by the time Orochi spotted Sasuke's figure, Sasuke had already jumped into the air and stabbed Orochi's head with kunai.

Sensing the approaching crisis, the big snake shook its body directly, and the huge snake tail swept quickly, and only a black shadow could be seen attacking from the side.

So fast! Sasuke was shocked, and he didn't have time to defend himself, and his body was directly flapped out by the snake's tail that the big snake flicked, and fell into the ruins, and with a bang, a wall was smashed by Sasuke's body, and his body was buried under the rubble.

"Sasuke!"

Seeing Sasuke being knocked down by the big snake, Sakura suddenly exclaimed.

Shaking open the rubble that weighed on his body, Sasuke's face turned pale, and several wounds were cut by sharp stones on his arm, and he kept bleeding.

Sasuke took a bite of the dirt in his mouth and said to Sakura, "Don't worry, I'm fine." This guy moves quickly, don't be careless. ”

While saying this, Sasuke's attention was focused on Orochi, and he didn't take his eyes off for a moment.

I'm afraid that if you don't pay attention, you will be attacked by this big snake.

Judging from the situation where the big snake hit himself just now, the strength of the opponent's attack was very amazing.

If it weren't for the fact that his body had improved a lot compared to before, just now, he would probably fall to the ground and need Sakura's medical ninjutsu treatment before he could fight again.

However, with such a tense situation, and the enemies secretly peeping here, there was not much time to heal the wounds.

In the ensuing battle, it is necessary to try not to get hit as much as possible.

Not detecting the traces of the enemy means that the enemy is very hidden.

It is important to note that this big serpent is not the only one on the surface.

Sasuke cast a vague look at Naruto, and the meaning was clear, that is, to join forces against the enemy.

"Hehe, sure enough, I still need to save the scene myself."

Naruto clenched his fists, and seeing such a huge snake, the belligerent factor in his body was also stimulated.

It's a good time to test how he's grown over the last few months.

"So, let's get started."

As soon as Naruto's words fell, his hands quickly sealed, and the sound of thumping continued to come out, and in an instant, more than a dozen doppelganger Naruto with entities appeared, each of which held a handful of kunai in his hand.

"Everyone, let's go together!"

"Oh!"

More than a dozen doppelgangers, Naruto, ran forward with the kunai without fear of death, and on each kunai, a sharp aura was attached, which was the attachment ability of the wind attribute chakra, which could greatly increase the sharpness of the kunai. This increase is not even weaker than the stabbing ability granted by the thunder attribute Chakra.

Seeing more than a dozen doppelgangers Naruto rushing towards him, the big snake opened its bloody mouth and let out a terrifying roar, and did not make too complicated movements, but just rolled up the snake tail again, turning into a swift black shadow, and in the sharp sound of breaking the air, the snake tail fell from the sky like a sharp blade.

Rumble!

Before the snake tail could be overwhelmed by Tarzan, it crushed more than a dozen of Naruto's doppelgangers, and a huge fireball carrying high temperature slammed into it from one side and hit the snake tail.

The serpent shouted again, but this time there was a pain in it.

The heat of the flames caused its snake tail to burn completely, and its body writhed there, slapping the ruined buildings with its snake tail in order to extinguish the flames on its tail.

"Don't succeed!"

More than a dozen doppelgangers, Naruto, jumped up, carrying the kunai of the wind attribute chakra, and directly broke through the hard snake skin of the big snake and stabbed deeply into the flesh and blood of the big snake.

The serpent writhed even more violently, and the screaming and wailing made it roll around, but it also sent the serpent into a state of extreme rage.

The inside of the vertical pupils was blood-red, full of cruelty and bloodlust.

It's just that in the eyes of Sasuke and Naruto, its state is just a trapped beast fighting, a final struggle.

"Chidori!"

The shrill sound of birdsong rang out in the night, lighting up the surrounding sand, and Sasuke adjusted the position of his arms as he ran to better focus his attack.

When approaching the body of the big snake, Sasuke jumped on the head of the big snake in three or two times, and the soles of his feet gathered chakra, and settled steadily, no matter how the big snake shook his body violently, Sasuke did not fall off its head.

Without hesitation, Sasuke quickly lowered the thunder light that was converging on his right hand.

Poof!

Thunder Light fell directly into the head of the big snake like slicing tofu, and blood gushed out, splashing Sasuke's face.

Half of Sasuke's arm sank into the snake's head, and seeing that the snake under his feet was struggling more and more weakly, he pulled his arm out of the snake's head and jumped down.

At the moment when Sasuke landed, the front half of the body of the big snake, which was originally standing high in the air, fell down with a bang, smashing a large pit on the ground and kicking up a large amount of sand and dust.

When the smoke and dust dissipated, the serpent opened its bloody mouth, but it had lost its breath and lay there motionless on its side.

"Is it over?"

Sakura glanced at the corpse of the snake with some fear, and walked over to Sasuke and asked.

Naruto also walked over, staring at the big snake's eyes without blinking, as if he was thinking about how such a large python could grow.

In Naruto's impression, a snake of more than ten meters was already rare, but this snake was at least twenty or thirty meters long, which was beyond his imagination.

"No, this snake is not native to the desert, and it is not suitable for growing in the desert, it is obviously a psychic guy from some guy."

As Sasuke said this, his eyes turned into a writing wheel at some point, and the pitch-black Magatama swirled in his pupils, warily scanning the dark surroundings around him.

The battle is not over yet.

Sure enough, hearing Sasuke's words, Naruto and Sakura also had solemn expressions, and like Sasuke, they began to look around, trying to find out where the enemy was.

Just as the three of them wanted to find out the location of the hidden enemy from the surrounding ruins, a cold voice suddenly spread through the air:

"Hehe, it's worthy of inheriting the Uchiha bloodline, and it really didn't disappoint me."

This cold voice could not distinguish between man and woman, and there was no trace of it, as if it was close to the ear and far away from the sky.

An invisible sense of oppression weighed on Sasuke's heart, making his expression extremely heavy.

"Pretending to be a fool, get out of here!"

Naruto shouted, completely unafraid of the owner of the voice.

Click.

As if to cater to Naruto's shouting, a strange noise came from inside the corpse of the Great Snake.

The eyes of Sasuke and the others were immediately attracted, only to see the corpse of the big snake lying there quietly, with a huge tear on the head that was larger than the injury caused by Chidori.

And this crack has a tendency to increase further, gradually cracking.

I saw a pair of arms suddenly stretched out from the crack of the big snake's corpse, a strange picture, a gust of wind blew past, and with the dark late night environment, Naruto and Sakura couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

This eerie picture is as if you are watching a horror movie.

Sasuke's expression was silent, staring at the arms that emerged from the corpse of the serpent.

After a short time, the two hands completely broke free from the cleft, and then they tore hard, and the tear widened again, until the cleft was large enough for the next adult to pass through, and then the tendency to expand stopped.

A man covered in yellowish transparent slime stood on the corpse of the serpent with a rocking position, looking down at the three people on the ground in a condescending position.

The man had long black hair, and his skin was pale, as transparent as a candle, not like the skin color of a living person, but a dead person.

The mouth was a little bigger than that of ordinary people, and the long tongue spit out from the mouth, licking the mucus on the side of the lips, and then the corners of the mouth were hooked, and a smile of unknown meaning was raised, and with golden vertical eyes that resembled snakes, staring at the three Sasuke.

"This guy...... It's human...... Is it a snake? ”

Naruto squinted his eyes and looked at the other party's image and dress, and couldn't tell whether the other party was a human or a snake.

That dangerous smile, and snake-like vertical pupils, seemed to tell someone that he was a snake.

However, it has the form of a human, and although many of its features are similar to those of snake creatures, it cannot be arbitrarily concluded that the other party is not human.

Instinctively, Naruto felt that there was something wrong with the snake man in front of him.

Sasuke stared at the snake man in front of him, his eyes were cold, and the nerves in his whole body began to tense, and he asked word by word, "Who are you?" You're not a candidate for the Shinobi exam, I've never seen you among the candidates. ”

Sasuke's words also made Naruto and Sakura react, indeed, among the candidates who passed the first exam, there was no one who matched the image of the snake man in front of him.

In other words, the other party is not a candidate who took the Zhongnin exam.

"My name is Orochimaru, and this name may be a little unfamiliar to you. But it doesn't matter, from today, we'll officially get to know each other, Sasuke-kun. ”

Orochimaru looked at Sasuke's chakra with an almost greedy gaze.

Or rather, this gaze is more inclined to obsession.

The secret of writing wheels, combined with the information he had gathered, and the information provided by Nagato, he had already eaten it thoroughly.

If he was interested in it at first, he made a move on Itachi, but when he learned that the final form of the Sharingan was the legendary Reincarnation Eye, even he would have the desire to encroach on this kind of thing.

Because the eye of reincarnation has a powerful forbidden technique of life and death, it can better serve its own immortal art.

Nagato's pair of reincarnation eyes, the probability of him getting it is very small.

So, we have to start in other directions.

Start with the most basic writing wheel.

Well, there are two pre-selected goals.

One is Uchiha Itachi and the other is Ruri Uchiha.

Compared to the latter, the former is easier to deal with.

To deal with the latter, you have to deal with two other tricky ninjas at the same time. The level of danger is no less than dealing with Nagato head-on, and with him at present, there is no difference between him and suicide. Yinyin Village, which was established with great difficulty, will also be uprooted, leaving no trace.

In contrast, starting with the Uchiha Itachi has the highest success rate and the lowest danger.

In addition, Nagato's side knows about it, and he will acquiesce to his actions, and there will be no unplanned mistakes.

Then, Sasuke's belonging has become a very critical issue.

Only by obtaining the ownership of Sasuke can the future plan be carried out safely.

"Orochimaru?"

Sasuke frowned, always feeling a little familiar with the name, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had heard of it.

On the contrary, Sakura, who heard the name Orochimaru, did instantly turn her face like a blank piece of paper, and her face was so frightened that her body stiffened there, and she didn't dare to move.

"Sakura-chan, you know what?"

Sasuke hurriedly asked when he saw Sakura's appearance.

Sakura nodded in a daze, her gaze as if she had lost focus, leaving only fear and despair.

"Orochimaru...... Like Tsunade-sama, who opened up the new era of Konoha medical system, he was once one of the legendary three ninjas of Konoha ......"

Saying this sentence with difficulty, it seemed to use all of Sakura's strength.

As soon as her knees weakened, Sakura sat down on the ground, losing the courage to fight.

Because Sakura knows that the enemy in front of her is impossible to defeat.

The fame and strength of the three ninjas are second only to the transcendent existence of the five shadows in the world.

For those who are shinobi, there is only the share of being slaughtered.

"The Legend of Konoha Three Ninja...... That means, this guy is our Konoha ninja? ”

Naruto was surprised.

"Idiot! Since Sakura said that it was once, it means that this guy is now a traitor to the village! Not companions at all! ”

Sasuke was speechless at Naruto's sluggish brain, but seeing Sakura's unbearable appearance, he also knew that the snake man in front of him was not an ordinary ninja.

Legend of the Three Ninjas.

Sasuke once heard Kakashi talk about the elite shinobi who made countless feats in Konoha during the war, and each of them had a strong reputation and strength to participate in the Hokage candidate conference at that time.

Such ninjas are undoubtedly the top group of people in the upper ninja class.

The most important thing is that the strange aura that Orochimaru exudes all the time makes every cell in Sasuke's body like a warning, and instinctively tells him that the main thing is to escape now.

In a head-on battle, there is only one way to die.

"Traitor?"

No matter how sluggish Naruto was, he knew what the term renegade represented, and his gaze when he looked at Orochimaru was also full of coldness.

"It's an honor, I didn't expect people of your time to know my name. But even so, I'm not going to leave you alone. Especially you, Sasuke-kun, let me take a look at your condition. ”

The smile on Orochimaru's face was even more unscrupulous, full of evil intent.

"Bastard, don't forget me!"

Seeing that no matter who looked at him, it seemed that Sasuke was the only one, and he was always ignored, which made Naruto feel very unhappy, so he clenched his fists and rushed towards Orochimaru at a fast speed.

"Wait, Naruto, don't be impulsive-"

However, Sasuke's shouting was too late.

Naruto had already rushed in front of Orochimaru and slammed his fist into Orochimaru's face.

Bang!

Naruto's fist unsurprisingly hit Orochimaru in the face.

Sasuke was taken aback at the same time, but he also felt that something was wrong.

"This guy...... What's going on? ”

Seeing that Orochimaru, who received a punch from himself, was still standing there steadily, even if he was hit head-on by the fist with great force, his body didn't even shake a little, as if the fist that hit him in the face was just a soft fist.

Naruto, however, knew how powerful his fist was when he used all his strength.

"Naruto-kun, although you are also very good, but unfortunately, I have no interest in you for the time being. If you can, can you stand aside and watch quietly? ”

Orochimaru tilted his head, and the evil smile on his face became more and more presumptuous.

"Look down on people less!"

Naruto's body spun sharply, and one leg swept over him with all his might.

Syllable!

Orochimaru didn't let Naruto attack this time, but quickly grabbed Naruto's calf with his hand.

Naruto felt his body suddenly fly off the ground, and by the time he reacted, his body had been thrown into the sky with a terrifying force.

"Damn!"

Naruto adjusted his posture in mid-air and began to seal.

At the moment when he was letting go of ninjutsu, suddenly the ground below shook.

Naruto turned his head to see that a huge crater appeared in the ground at some point, and a large snake that was even bigger than before appeared from the pit, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed Naruto into his stomach in one gulp, when Naruto was caught off guard.

The big snake glanced at the smiling big snake pill, as if he got some kind of hint, and quickly burrowed into the pit and disappeared.

"Naruto!"

Sasuke rushed over, trying to chase the serpent.

"Wind Escape: Great Breakthrough!"

Orochimaru quickly stamped on the corpse of the big snake and opened his mouth to spit out.

A strong wind blew, and the whole space was buzzing and trembling under the action of this strong wind.

Where the wind passed, all the buildings were swept away, and the ground was also swept up by the wind, and the violence blew into the distance, extending a deep and long tunnel more than ten meters long.

Sasuke's pupils shrank when he saw this.

Feng Dun Great Breakthrough This Feng Dun basic ninjutsu, he knows.

Naruto would have used this move.

However, the big breakthrough in front of him and the big breakthrough that Naruto performed couldn't be compared with each other at all.

Sasuke can be sure that if he was in this storm just now, his body would be torn apart by the wind, and the lightest would be a serious injury.

And this is just the result of the opponent's casual ninjutsu.

Looking at Sasuke, who had no way out, Orochimaru grinned, and that smug look was like a beast staring at delicious prey.

◎

"Markey-sama, it's not good!"

Markey, who was preparing to sleep in his room, was startled by a sand ninja who suddenly barged in without knocking on the door.

"What's wrong? What happened? ”

Markey didn't get angry either, but asked calmly.

The sand ninja in front of him looked anxious, obviously because of some urgent matter, he would break in so rudely.

"This is information from Konoha side! According to the intelligence, Orochimaru lurked in the examination room of the second exam! ”

The Sand Hidden Ninja quickly repeated the information he had gotten, and although he tried his best to restrain his panic, the urgency in his eyes betrayed him.

"What!?"

Maki took the scroll handed over by the sand ninja and opened it to see that his body was frozen in place.

This is indeed a communication from Konoha, and the content of the communication is the same as what the Sand Hidden Ninja said, one of the three ninjas who defected to Konoha - the extremely dangerous S-class renegade Orochimaru is lurking in the second exam room of this joint middle ninja exam, and the intention is unknown.

After reading the news, Markey's face was in a cold sweat.

He realized that if this matter was not resolved as soon as possible, then the prestige of Shayin Village would be lost, and it would be criticized by various countries later.

"Damn! Why did that guy from Orochimaru come here! ”

Markey yelled.

"Lord Markey, what are we going to do now?"

The Sand Hidden Ninja asked worriedly.

"Call all the sand hidden shinobi stationed here, and in addition, go and invite Miss Ichihime and Mr. Kakashi, if you want to deal with Orochimaru, you must have a ninja of the same level involved!"

Ma Ji knew very well that even if he called the Sand Hidden Shinobi who controlled all the towers, it would be impossible to stop Orochimaru from making trouble in the examination room of the Demon Desert.

If you want to deal with a ninja of Orochimaru's level, you must have a ninja of the same level to contain it.

Of all the various nations in the central control tower, only Kazuhime and Kakashi have the ability to repel Orochimaru. Because the Wind Shadow was sitting in the Sand Hidden Village, he did not personally go to the examination room in the Demon Desert.

And no one would have thought that a notorious traitor would dare to be so bold and break into the examination room jointly organized by various countries to make trouble.

"Yes!"

The Sand Hidden Ninja immediately ran out of the room, leaving Maki alone in the room.

Ma Ji can only force himself to calm down at this time, as long as he mobilizes enough strength, even repelling the three shinobi is not too much of a problem.

It's just that he was very puzzled by the purpose of Orochimaru's sneaking into the examination room.

If it weren't for some special intentions, it would be impossible for such a ninja to personally risk offending various great powers and come here to cause trouble.

Soon, Markey thought of a possibility.

According to a news that has been passed down in Konoha, there is a mysterious organization in the shadows of the ninja world that is secretly collecting tailed beasts from various countries.

And Orochimaru seems to be a member of this organization.

"Is the purpose of Orochimaru's ......?"

Thinking of some terrifying possibility, Markey's face instantly turned pale.
