On the empty wilderness, countless figures fell.

At first glance, it seems that there is no end in sight.

These people are dressed in uniform costumes and wear uniform ninja forehead guards engraved with musical note marks, which all show their identity - Otokure ninjas.

The black-haired boy sitting on the back of one of the fallen shinobi had a slightly more mature and stable face than his peers, and his cold black pupils made him have a cold and frozen aura around him, and when people approached him, they couldn't help but shiver.

"One hundred and ninety...... Or about two hundred...... As a result, the ninjas of the Otoshinobi Village, is this the only thing they can do? ”

Sasuke scanned the audience with a look of arrogance and found that all the shinobi in the 'field' had fallen except for himself, and no one could stand under his attack.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Sasuke's mouth couldn't help but raise slightly, revealing a sneer that looked like disdain.

Although the sound ninja village was established by Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, after going deeper, it was discovered that the ninja power of this village was not as strong as imagined.

The other is the force that was established by the 'traitor ninja', but the other is to lead the country of ghosts and defeat the ninja alliance of the four major countries from the front.

This made Sasuke very suspicious, did the ninja with the name of the three ninjas bring a little moisture in it?

In addition to Orochimaru himself, there is also the medicine master who doesn't know the depths, and he hasn't seen a ninja who can make people's eyes shine in the sound ninja village.

The four of them are only barely able to get into the eye.

The rest of the people are even more unbearable, they will be broken when they touch it, and they will not feel the joy of fighting at all in actual combat with these people.

Although it was not easy to win, and the power of the curse mark was used, the nearly two hundred ninjas did not even have the ability to cut scars on his body, and in Sasuke's opinion, if an enemy came to attack the sound ninja village, these ninjas would only need a face to face and be defeated by the enemy.

It's okay to deal with ordinary bandits, but if you collide with a powerful ninja organization, the result can be imagined.

Snap, snap applause came from not far away.

A figure walked slowly from the direction outside the venue, it was Dou.

While clapping, he looked at Sasuke with admiration, and said with an exclamatory smile: "It's really worthy of being a ninja who has inherited the Uchiha bloodline, Sasuke-kun, congratulations, your strength has become stronger again." Clear the light of two hundred shinobi at once...... Your strength, among the upper ninjas, can be regarded as the strongest type. ”

Even...... Above him, the medical staff.

He used tactics and environment to indeed kill two hundred middle ninjas, but it was impossible for him to single-handedly crush two hundred middle ninjas from the front like Sasuke.

And he did it without dying...... This kind of control is even more terrifying than killing them directly.

"Shinobi?" The expression on Sasuke's face was cold, with a slight mockery: "If you don't say that they are middle ninjas, I thought they were fledglings who had just graduated from ninja school." ”

Sasuke Mori's cold words made Otoshinobi, who was sitting under him, angry, and wanted to try to stand up and prove that he was not a fledgling who had just graduated from a ninja school, but a genuine middle ninja.

But—

An electric current climbed up his body, accompanied by a scream, and Otoshino was directly stunned by the thunderbolt, his eyes turned white, saliva flowed out of his mouth, and he lost consciousness in an instant.

"Indeed, with your current strength, a ninja at the intermediate level may no longer be able to meet your needs for actual combat. After all, you've been here for a year, and Orochimaru-sama alone has spent a lot of hard work on you. ”

Dou pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, showed his usual smile, and smiled at Sasuke.

"What about the Orochimaru people?"

Sasuke asked the question.

Leaving Otoshinobi's back, he patted the dust off his clothes and stood up.

On the belt behind his back, there is a long, straight-edged knife.

The blade is tucked into the scabbard, and the edge of the blade is retracted.

This is the Kusanagi sword.

A sword-like weapon that sharpens iron like clay.

It is one of the many weapons that Orochimaru collected when he walked the ninja world in the past.

However, according to what Sasuke observed, the Kusanagi Sword held by Orochimaru in his hand was more than plural, and there were individual Kusanagi Swords, and even carried special abilities.

This Kusanagi sword of his was given by Orochimaru himself to increase his combat ability.

It is said that the Kusanagi sword held by the Oni no Kuni was also lost from Orochimaru.

As far as weapons are concerned, Sasuke is very satisfied with this Kusanagi sword.

Although it only has three characteristics: sharpening iron like clay, being indestructible, and conducting chakra, in Sasuke's opinion, it is already a divine weapon that is difficult to find in the ninja world.

With this weapon, it will be easier for him to face the enemy in the future.

"Orochimaru is very busy with his work, and now he should be there to study the genes of ancient creatures. So, overseeing your work, I'll do it. ”

Dou laughed.

After all, ordinary ninjas can't supervise Sasuke, and just being close to him is dangerous.

This made Dou feel frightened, and if he continued to grow at this rate, it wouldn't take long for Sasuke's strength to reach a new realm.

At that time, I am afraid that even Orochimaru, the 'owner', may not be able to suppress the other party.

Orochimaru-sama is really messing up, and if he doesn't restrain this lone wolf, he will be hurt sooner or later. Dou was secretly vigilant in his heart.

Although he is an overseer, he does not have the power to restrict Sasuke's freedom, and likewise, he does not have such strength.

"So, what's next? Is it you, the overseer, who have come to teach me my strength? ”

The pupils, which were originally black and white, immediately turned into red three-hook jade writing wheel eyes, which were bright and dazzling.

Sasuke's gaze was staring straight at his pocket.

As for fighting against Dou, he felt more interested than fighting against this group of middle ninjas.

He wanted to know how strong Dou's strength was.

"You've wasted a lot of chakras after the previous battles......"

Dou looked for a reason to refuse.

"That's not a problem...... After unlocking the spell seal, Chakra will immediately replenish it. ”

Sasuke watched Dou's every move with a blank face and said this.

Reach behind your back with your right hand and grasp the hilt of the Kusanagi sword.

Kusanagi's sword shone out of its scabbard, shimmering in a snow-white glow over the cold wilderness.

A sharp murderous aura overflowed from Sasuke's body.

"Next, I'm going to take you to meet someone...... Move you on to the next stage of your training. ”

Dou bowed his head and said.

There was not the slightest intent to fight on him.

He felt a headache about the strong fighting spirit that burst out of Sasuke's body.

I'm just an ordinary medical ninja, so why can't I get along with myself?

What a troublesome little ghost.

Hearing Dou's words, Sasuke narrowed his eyes, but the action of drawing the knife did stop.

Dou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Sasuke, this guy...... Sure enough, it's a problem child.

"The next phase of training?"

"Yes...... That's immortality. ”

Dou raised his head and said seriously with a serious look in his eyes.

The wind blew across the wilderness, and Sasuke's gaze swept sharply, and he put the Kusanagi sword back in its scabbard.

glanced at the ninjas who were still wailing on the ground, ignored them, turned around and left, leading the way ahead.

While guiding Sasuke, he said to Sasuke, who was following him:

"Among Orochimaru-sama's subordinates, there is a very special child. His name is Shigego. ”

"Shigego?"

Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

He's been here for more than a year, but he's never heard of this person.

"What's so special about him? How can I learn immortal arts? ”

Sasuke asked.

After all, the power of immortal arts, even Orochimaru has not learned.

How can a subordinate of Orochimaru do it?

If it can really be done, why doesn't Orochimaru do it himself, but instead give him such a good opportunity?

Sasuke's heart was filled with doubts.

But on the surface, it is still necessary to put on a cold and disdainful appearance.

According to Kakashi, the more this is the case, the more Orochimaru appreciates it.

For that Sannin, 'unruly' seems to be a proof of ability.

Of course, the premise is a ninja who is recognized by Orochimaru.

"Shigego is different from normal people, he has a natural ability to absorb natural energy."

Dou gave this piece of news.

“！？”

Born to absorb natural energy?

Sasuke's pupils dilated slightly, and it took a while for him to return to his original state.

It was really this news that surprised him very much.

Although natural energy is the introduction to immortal arts, it does not mean that natural energy is easy to perceive and absorb.

When I was cultivating natural energy at that time, I had endured all kinds of hardships.

For example, the point of emptying distractions is that I haven't started for a long time because of the ferret.

A person who can naturally absorb natural energy, this kind of physique, I am afraid that it is even rarer and more precious than the blood inheritance limit.

Sasuke couldn't imagine that there was such a character in Orochimaru's hands.

"In other words, he knows immortal arts?"

Being able to absorb natural energy naturally means that this person called 'Chonggo' directly omitted the previous steps when cultivating immortal arts, and entered the advanced stage of the fusion of chakra and natural energy.

It can be said that the other party is born with the talent of immortal arts!

"How is that possible? Sasuke-kun, you think too much, Shigego doesn't know how to do immortals. ”

Dou shook his head and smiled at Sasuke's guess, full of helplessness.

"What do you mean?"

"Immortal art is not such a simple thing. According to the information collected by Orochimaru, the only ninja in the human community who can perfectly control the power of immortal arts is the country of demons...... And the number is extremely scarce. Being able to harness natural energy does not mean that you can harness immortal arts. Immortal art on the ninja's chakra control, willpower, spiritual realm, chakra amount, etc...... are in extremely high demand. The chakra measure alone has made countless people lose their qualifications to cultivate immortal arts. ”

Dou said with a wry smile.

Although with his chakra amount, he barely reached the threshold of cultivating immortal arts...... But in practice, it will be much more difficult than imagined.

"Hmph, it doesn't seem to be a big deal."

Sasuke snorted coldly.

Make him happy in vain.

Dou continued to shake his head.

"No, the fact that it can absorb natural energy alone is more than most ninjas. And Shigego's situation is somewhat peculiar...... By the way, speaking of which, you don't know one thing yet. ”

"What?"

Sasuke subconsciously asked back.

"The seventh class you're in, the girl named Sakura Haruno, also defected to Konoha and joined the country of ghosts."

Dou's words made Sasuke's footsteps stop directly.

This news was too sudden, and he was even more surprised by the news that the Oni Country had defeated the ninja alliance of the four great powers head-on than he had heard a while ago.

That Sakura turned out to be ......

How can it be?

What the hell happened to Konoha?

"Her parents are spies in the country of ghosts, and in the operation of Konoha to clean up spies a while ago, her parents left Konoha and fled towards the country of ghosts. It was also at that time that Sakura Haruno left with her. ”

"Is that so?"

After receiving Dou's explanation, Sasuke calmed down.

"What, do you feel anything? I can also say a thing or two about Naruto's situation. ”

Dou asked with a smile.

"Boring. Whether it's Sakura or Naruto, they are a group of guys who are emotionally agitated and cause them to act impulsively...... And I'm not interested in the things of these stupid people. ”

Sasuke replied calmly.

"That's a shame. Okay, let's get to the northern stronghold where Shigego is next, it will take a short time, let's resupply in the village before we go over...... Plus, we're going to be living there for a few months, so if there's anything to bring, let's do it quickly. An hour later, we meet here. ”

Coming to the entrance of Otoshinobi Village, Dou said to Sasuke next to him.

Sasuke didn't hesitate and walked towards his own residence in Otoshinobi Village. It's true that there aren't many things to bring, but you need to be prepared.

◎

Otoshinobi Village, Laboratory.

Huge as a mountain of flesh and blood, it is an alien beast that resembles some kind of ultra-ancient creature.

From the outside, it looks like a large psychic animal.

However, its abnormal monster size and appearance give people an unusually evil sense of corruption.

These beastly monsters are surrounding a huge pool of blood, gnawing at mountains of human corpses with their sharp teeth.

The human corpses, dressed in gray prison uniforms, were thin and had black spell marks engraved on them, apparently failed test subjects for experimentation.

As soon as I came in, I couldn't help but feel a little sick to my stomach when I saw such a terrifying thing.

For the big snake pill standing next to the huge beast, it was even more of a headache.

As always, this adult still likes to ponder these strange things.

This thing can't be seen in the mind of a normal creature anymore.

"Is this the creature called the 'Dragon Beast'?"

Dou walked over and asked.

"No, it's just a degraded beast created by injecting dragon beast genes, supplemented by yin and yang. In terms of power, it still can't be compared to large psychic beasts. But if you can generate a certain amount of energy, you can also use it as good cannon fodder. ”

Orochimaru smiled without looking back.

"But that's it...... There are many fewer test subjects available, and the living subjects that were originally used for experiments are very rare......"

It's not that you can't bear it, it's that you don't feel it.

People don't remember how much food they have eaten, how much water they have drunk, and how many ants they have trampled to death.

In all the education he received from childhood to adulthood, there was not the slightest respect for 'life'.

In these turbulent times, it is the consensus of most people that there is no 'weight' in the lives of men, women and children.

Some are just a bunch of numbers that come together.

For the sake of the so-called truth...... And the numbers that exist in the world.

Except for the dean...... But even the dean ended up ......

Thinking of this, Dou's eyes were a little gloomy.

"Subjects can be grabbed everywhere as much as they want. What happened to Sasuke? ”

Orochimaru is only concerned with this issue.

When he embarks on this path, he will no longer have any respect for such an ambiguous thing as 'life'.

For the compassion of the pocket, I just think it's ridiculous.

It seems that after being brainwashed by himself and Tuanzang, this guy is still obsessed with the teachings of the 'dean' in the past, and there is still the last hope.

That's why that ridiculous stupid guy will be abandoned by the roots and die early.

In this world, that kind of rotten good person will not live long at all, and will only be manipulated, used, and finally abandoned and become a rotting corpse.

If Dou continues to retain such a ridiculous human mind, he will not be able to surpass him for the rest of his life, and can only live like his puppet.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru felt a little bored.

Maybe it's because he got a better 'work' - Sasuke, who has a little disgust with this work that he admired in the past.

He straightened his face and replied:

"I'm packing my bags, and I'm going to take him to Shigego's stronghold next."

"Really? It looks like the rest of the story is going to be very interesting. ”

Orochimaru laughed, his long tongue sticking out of his mouth and licking the corners of his mouth.

"That's right."

Dou responded to the meaning of Orochimaru.

"He's grown faster than I initially expected, and his talent is really not weaker than Itachi. And the extermination incident, Itachi, and now the few high-level advisors and elders in Konoha who continue to survive...... It will be the best catalyst for thirst for power! ”

Orochimaru is so sure.

"Orochimaru-sama means, will Sasuke get senjutsu?"

Dou was curious.

"Let's wait and see."

Orochimaru did not respond directly, but sold it.

Then, he waved his hand in anticipation.

"Okay, these days, you continue to supervise Sasuke, and when my side is done, I will go to the northern base to find you."

"Yes."

Glancing at the large beasts that continued to gnaw at human bones, he respectfully retreated.

◎

The land of ghosts.

Residential villa area.

Liuli sat alone on the sofa in the living room, turning on the TV, bored with the remote control and looking at the programs played on the TV.

Although I don't pay attention to the TV program, as long as I do this, it is as if the huge home does not seem too empty.

After all, such a large villa building, before Bai Shi came back, there were only two people, she and Tianyu Nu, and they did seem a little lonely.

Usually it can still be a 'dog' Thundering Pill, but at this time, its new body is still lying on the experimental table, and it is still far from being reborn.

As for Kazuhime and Asuka, they are also busy with their own affairs, and they probably won't come back until the things at hand are done.

The same is true of the white-eyed woman, who is stationed at the border of the land country, and will not be able to return from the front line until the land country's compensation is officially implemented.

At that time, you can have an occasional afternoon tea party to pass the time.

Thinking of this, Liuli couldn't help but sigh, is she a little old.

I always feel that today's life is very much like old age.

The children who are about to reach adulthood only think about opening afternoon tea with their sworn enemies to pass the time......

A comfortable day is really depraved.

"I'm back."

The man of the house is back.

As usual, he threw his white coat on the hanger in the entryway, changed into shoes and walked into the living room.

The Tianyu girl in the kitchen is washing vegetables and preparing for tonight's dinner.

"Liuli, thank you for your hard work, the negotiation work over there."

Between the eyebrows, seeing that Liuli seemed to be a little tired, Shiraishi walked over with a smile, sat on the sofa, and skillfully hugged her delicate body.

Ruri struggled slightly, and then didn't move again.

"Nothing, just acting according to the established plan. But on the side of the Wind Country, why not get the lost land back? ”

Ruri asked.

"There's no need, anyway, the bit of land that was taken back wasn't that big in the first place, and it wasn't a resource area. With that bit of land, the right to exploit resources in some parts of the country of the wind is a little more cost-effective. And there is another point, that is, if you use troops against the Land of Wind in the future, you can also declare war in the name of 'recovering your homeland' and get the first move. ”

Shiraishi explains.

Among the compensation demanded from various countries this time, only monetary compensation is requested for Kirigakushi and Konoha, as well as customs duties, which are beneficial to the country of ghosts, and the opening of some coastal ports to the country of ghosts.

On the basis of the above, the land of earth is a territory swallowed by simple and crude erosion.

Among them, the conditions for the Land of the Wind are slightly different.

That is, in this war, a small area seized by the Wind Country, after a long period of arguments, and also under the compromise and negotiation of the two sides, on the condition that the mining rights of some areas of the Wind Country were transferred, so that the Wind Country could 'recover'.

On the surface, it seems that the Land of the Wind and the Sand Hidden did not suffer losses in the war, on the contrary, they only paid money and opened some unimportant ports, and permanently subdued a part of the country, although this part of the land is very reluctant to even build a small town...... But it did make the country of wind and the sand hide taste the sweetness.

And the agreement is something that is used to tear it up.

Especially in a tense situation where every major power is starting to stir up, no one really takes this agreement seriously.

What we want is to retreat into progress and gain more space and time for development.

For this, the high-level of the Ghost Country, and the high-level of the Alliance Army, are also well aware of this, but they have not broken it.

The Alliance thought that this time it was the Oni no Kuni who won, but not next time.

The glass can also be seen to some extent, but it needs to be further confirmed.

Then, remembering something again, she looked at Shiraishi and asked:

"Speaking of which, when I came back, Asuka sent me a letter saying that you had added a lot of work to him for no reason, is there such a thing?"

Originally, she wouldn't have asked about this kind of thing.

But since Asuka took the initiative to send the message, she, as a mother, naturally wanted to know about the specific situation.

Although the letter did not specify it, there was a strong resentment between the lines.

“？”

That bastard boy dares to sue?

Shiraishi's first thought was this.

"Why, I just want to sharpen his abilities, there are specialized medical ninjas over there, and nothing will happen. As our children, we have to endure hardships more than ordinary people. You don't want Asuka to grow up and ruin the reputation of the Uchiha, right? ”

The white stone face does not change color in response.

"Hmm. In that case......"

In Shiraishi's surprised gaze, Ruri wrapped her hands around the back of Shiraishi's neck, and her right thigh was also on Shiraishi's leg, exhaling like an orchid, biting her thin pink lips.

"Then I'll give you a proper increase in workload......"

As he spoke, Shiraishi's body collapsed on the sofa.

The delicate and slender body pressed against the body, and Ruri bit the zipper on Baishi's clothes with her teeth, revealing a shallow smile, and the breathing in her lips became heavier.

The zipper is slowly pulled downward.

When Bai Shi saw this scene, he immediately had a very strong physiological reaction.

Ayane is not there.

If he fights alone, no matter how fierce Liuli's attack is, he has a very high chance of winning.

Thinking of this, Baishi did not hesitate, turned his body and replaced it with a glass lying on the sofa.

The zipper of her clothes was still biting into her mouth, not letting go.

In the eyes of the glass, there are moving waves, which is infinite tenderness and honey.

After a long absence, the body is hot, and it is no longer empty.

His own blood is really young and vibrant!

It is a kind of supreme happiness like being in the midst of thousands of armies, fighting with a strong enemy to the death!

……

In the kitchen, Tianyu Nu silently put down the work of washing vegetables.

She stepped through the entrance and stood outside the door of the villa, like a loyal gatekeeper, sticking to her post.

It seems that tonight's dinner is going to be postponed again.
