The underground waterways are intricate and extend in all directions.

Moreover, due to the wide range, it is far beyond the area of the Dragon Cave, so even the lamp god cannot be explored clearly for a moment.

He is not a professional radar device after all.

Therefore, in the past few days, while avoiding Bai Jue's detection, Orochimaru has tried his best to expand his range of activities and give the Lantern God a chance to open a map.

Of course, this is not a waste of time, and moving around also helps his hunting behavior.

"Almost, I've probably found the outlet to this underground sewer."

The lamp god has long since embodied the lines, extending infinitely into the darkness of the waterway, and his head is now smaller than a pinhole, but the voice is as good as ever,

"Let's go, I'll show you the way."

"Good!"

Orochimaru nodded, and immediately submerged in the water, the snake's tail swayed lightly, chasing the smoke thread, like a swimming dragon.

The underground waterways crisscross the waterways, and the water direction is not as monotonous as the surface rivers, there is no high and low reference, and the undercurrent is very strange.

Moreover, Orochimaru now has a body of nearly fifty meters, which is not the size of an ordinary person, and the requirements for the length and width of this waterway are very harsh.

It's not impossible to break through forcibly, but if you can really use such a brutal method under the monitoring of the white doppelganger, it is better to simply break through and return to the surface.

Under many restrictions, it was really hard to find such a suitable route.

In the dark, time passes slowly, but with the god of lights as a clock, Orochimaru will not confuse time.

He ate as he walked, and the day passed.

"It's time to get out of the scope of the white clone, right?"

Orochimaru spat out the fish bones and asked.

The lamp god nodded and said with a smile, "I have left a long time ago, but seeing that you are so attentive to eating, I didn't remind you."

"It's time to get back to the ground."

Orochimaru rinsed his mouth and washed away the fishy smell in his mouth, "I've eaten fish for several lifetimes in the past few days, it's time to change the taste." ”

After this period of continuous eating, this huge body is no longer an empty shell, and it can also exert extraordinary strength with every move, but Orochimaru would rather not have this kind of power.

In the ninja world, this body is too unfavorable for his actions.

Needless to say, the others are the villagers of Konoha, and when they learn that the Great Snake Pill in the Three Ninja has become like this, I am afraid that their first reaction will also be fear and distancing.

Orochimaru is too aware of their limitations.

"Back to the surface? I advise you to abandon this idea for the time being."

The lamp god pointed upward, "At the moment, we don't know how many kilometers underground, and it's tiring to climb up slowly."

"And I don't know what the situation is up, with your current size, there is a high probability that you will be exposed after you go up, or you have to stay underground for a long time, which is not conducive to action."

"If my estimation is correct, further along there should be the sea, and that's where you should be now, whether it's hunting or trying to get back to shape."

The sea is vast and boundless, and both the world of the god of lights and the humans of the ninja world have very limited understanding of it.

Mystery and the unknown are the characteristics of the sea, but now it is the place where Orochimaru can stay.

…

Orochimaru pondered for a moment and nodded, "That's right, there may not be so much prey on land for me to squander. ”

It is very easy to grow up, whether it is from one meter to one meter seven or eight, or from one meter seven or eight to fifty or sixty meters.

But when you grow up, it's not easy to get the resources to maintain this size.

But at this time, you can't think about changing back to your previous petite appearance, either to satisfy this gluttonous appetite, or to die of weakness and starvation.

In this case, the abundance of food and the sea without the intervention of other ninjas, is undoubtedly a good choice.

……

Konoha, Hokage Room.

"What? Still can't contact Orochimaru? ”

Jiraiya snapped up, his face was anxious, "So, the information circulating outside may be true?" ”

When Orochimaru left, he already had a bad premonition, and the current loss of contact was to some extent a confirmation of his suspicions.

"Zilai, don't lose your proportion."

Miyo took a puff of his pipe and said in a deep voice, "It's just that I have lost contact with the village for the time being, and I have already sent someone to find his men, maybe they still have the means to communicate." ”

"Now, sit down."

"Yes, old man." Jiraiya took a deep breath and sat back in his chair, just clenching his fists to let others know that his mood was not calm.

It didn't take long for Orochimaru's disciple Mitarai Azuki, his subordinate Yamato, and Shisui and Jinsuke, who were quite closely connected, to be summoned to the Hokage Room.

After listening to the three generations explain the reason, several people's faces have changed to varying degrees, and red beans are the most anxious.

Others believe in Orochimaru's strength, while she is purely concerned about chaos.

"I'll contact Orochimaru-sensei."

Red Bean bit her lip and immediately began to perform her psychic spell.

Peng!

Smoke rises, and a gray-backed pit viper swims out.

Seeing this gray snake, Hongdou breathed a sigh of relief, but soon her face changed.

Because after she finished the handprint again, the gray snake remained in place, and it was impossible to complete the reverse channeling by sensing Orochimaru-sama's chakra.

The connection between the two sides is as if they have been cut off by something.

At this moment, even the most calm water stop changed his face.

Next, several people tried their own means of contacting Orochimaru, and as expected, they all failed.

"Zhishui and Jinsuke stay, and the others will go back first."

The third generation put down his pipe, stared at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "Don't make a public announcement about this matter. ”

The most powerful and prestigious figure in Konoha spoke, and even the most panicked red beans put away their anxious expressions, and when they walked out of the Hokage room, they pretended to have a calm expression.

Waiting for these junior ninjas to leave, Jiraiya couldn't wait to speak, "Old man, give the order quickly, I'll take someone to find Orochimaru, he must be in a bad situation now." ”

This operation, Orochimaru went for him, and if something really went wrong, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

"Calm down, with your current state of mind, how can I trust the team to you with peace of mind?"

The three representatives became stern, "I don't know what happened now, and rushing there will only make you fall into it." ”

As the Hokage of Konoha, he must think about the entire village and not let personal emotions affect his judgment.

It has been more than five days since Orochimaru set out to investigate the Akatsuki organization, and during this time, Orochimaru only sent a message four days ago, saying that he planned to explore Taki Shinobi Village, and then he lost his news.

Why Takishinobi Village? Orochimaru didn't say it, but the three generations knew that this guy must have found some traces.

At the moment, he has already sent enough intelligence personnel to investigate, and when the news comes back, he will immediately arrange rescue.

"Orochimaru, you're not such an easy guy......"
