At the venue of the third test, the Konoha ninja was quite tightly guarded, and the main focus was on the gold lord of the upper stand, and the other ordinary seats were much worse.

Due to the influx of spectators, some of the late arrivals did not even have seats, so they crowded into the back aisle.

In the corner not far from the southeast exit, there are many fewer spectators, and the pharmacist who took the initiative to quit a month ago leans against the wall with his back to the duel below, while discussing something with a middle-aged man next to him.

Of course, it is not easy for ordinary people to deal with Yakushidou, who is a multi-faceted spy, but the person in front of him is different, if the ordinary face is peeled off, you can see a very young face, and this is not his true face.

"Dou, it's not easy for me to come here, if your so-called special accident doesn't satisfy me, the result may not be too good......

"Orochimaru-sama, I have a reason why I must invite you to come and deal with it in person."

The pharmacist replied in a low voice,

"Those two temporary "partners" were not recovered in time and were taken away by Konoha Village. I'm afraid their bodies will reveal some secrets."

"Whose hand did it?"

"If my guess is correct, it's probably the Root."

"That old thing in Tuanzang, hasn't given up yet?"

Orochimaru sneered and said disdainfully,

"When the secret laboratory was reopened, he personally told me to be careful of the side effects of the forbidden technique, but I couldn't help it......

The former "three ninjas", since they also traveled to the ninja world in the early years, are used to being in the field, don't go back to the village much, and come back every once in a while to see. The first to run away was actually Tsunade, who suffered from hemophobia, and was no longer able to take on the duties of a qualified medical ninja in the later stage. Wandering incognito in the ninja world is also just to escape from reality.

The second one to leave is the defected Orochimaru, although it feels like this former hero of Konoha Village has been gone for a long time, in fact, it is now less than six years before the time when the third generation of the Hokage Sarutobi slashes out Orochimaru.

In the competition of the fourth generation of Hokage, Orochimaru, who lost to Bo Feng Shuimen, began to cooperate with Shimura Danzo to study forbidden arts, and gradually broke away from the mainstream sight of Konoha Village. It wasn't until three years later that he was completely exposed, and he was found by Ape Feiri.

At that time, Uchiha Itachi was already more than eight years old, and Furusugi Bushui still had two years to "drop out".

It feels like it's been a long time, but it's actually just a few cold and hot times.

Jiraiya, who couldn't catch up, was the last to leave Konoha Village.

Not to mention the entire Konoha Village, it was in this grandstand that I had direct or indirect dealings with Orochimaru, not a hundred, but also fifty.

"Orochimaru-sama, on Elder Danzang's side, it will take many years to crack the mystery of the curse seal, but with the help of the Gushan family, it will be much faster."

"Furucegi? I haven't heard of them working with the Root."

"I didn't know until later, and it doesn't seem like they've been dealing with each other for long, but the news of a secret lab that has achieved remarkable results shouldn't be wrong."

"Do you know where it is?"

"Forgive my subordinates for their incompetence, so far we have not been able to find the exact location. If Elder Tuanzang doesn't crack it well, will he seek the strength of his partner? After all, the Furusugi clan also has a deep accumulation of biotechnology, and the Inuzuka family also cooperates with them, and Kurama and Hinata also come and go frequently."

"You want me to snatch the experimental "materials" and teach Tuanzang a lesson?"

Orochimaru smiled playfully.

Six or seven years ago, his teacher Sarutobi took two assistants, and without using all his strength, he was able to beat Orochimaru without the power to fight back, if it weren't for the soft-heartedness of the three generations, it would be impossible to escape. Now, although the strength has also been greatly improved, and Shimura Danzo's combat effectiveness is not at its peak, but Orochimaru is self-aware, and he challenges the "root" organization in Konoha Village, and no one with a normal brain will think so.

This year, there is no "Konoha Collapse Project", and there is no sand shinobi to act as cannon fodder.

Even so, Orochimaru was not very worried, and he did not grasp the key - the immortal chakra, no matter how Shimura Tunzo tossed, he couldn't peek at it

Get the essence of the curse seal.

If there were still kaleidoscope writing wheel eyes and the first generation of cells by his side, Orochimaru would still be afraid of one or two, but now, a beast without minions will only bluff, and the threat will definitely not be as good as before.

Before coming to Konoha Village, Orochimaru also met a team of Konoha ninjas on a mission, and on a whim, he gave a certain white-haired unlucky egg an experimental spell mark, the effect was mediocre, and it was estimated that there were no surprises.

"What you said is a bit valuable, but ...... It's not enough."

The original gray-black eyes flashed golden-red vertical pupils, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, staring at the medicine master who was in a cold sweat.

"There's also the container you care about, Kurama Yakumo's condition is getting better now, you can improve his rank, and when he gets older and his body becomes stronger, he can consider giving a spell seal. In addition, Xianglian's background can confirm that the bloodline of the maternal family is exactly the whirlpool."

"That's kind of interesting."

After a few weird laughs, Orochimaru looked at a corner of the stands, where Momiji and Kari, Kurama Yakumo, Yamanaka Ino, Hinata Hinata and others were all in that direction.

At the same time, the mother and daughter, who were laughing, felt a chill flash in their hearts, and instinctively looked in the direction of the medicine master.

"Not good."

Orochimaru's heart was shocked, and he suddenly remembered a certain legend about the Uzumaki clan, and realized that he was at risk of being exposed, so he immediately dodged, walked to the corner of the backlit corridor, avoided everyone's sight, and then walked away quickly.

"It's actually the 'Kagura Heart Eye', but I didn't expect that the bloodline secret technique that was only recorded in the literature would be used by others."

A master of Orochimaru's level, his perception of danger has become acute to the point of almost instinct.

Seeing the movement of the red leaves and the incense in his eyes, following their line of sight, he saw the somewhat dazed medicine man's pocket, and the ancient cedar water suddenly understood.

"I've got something to do, so let's get out of here."

The young family governor, whose face was as heavy as water, summoned the patrol captain Qiu Dao Dingzuo on duty, and whispered,

"Look for the person who just left through the exit over there."

"I'll arrange it right away, what else does the young governor command?"

"I...... It's a bad feeling, you guys have a snack, maybe there is a windfall, and if you are short on manpower, I can also help."

Realizing that Gu Sugi Bushui was quite serious, Akido Dingza also paid attention to it, waved his hand and asked a few dark men to chase after him, and at the same time reported to the three generations of Hokage on the viewing platform.

Back in the backstage rest area, the young family governor, who was about to chase after him in person, hesitated for a while, but still stopped.

"There are some things, let the Konoha ninja deal with them, this is not Shiqi Island."

In the end, in "other people's homes", you can't take care of housework.

However, it cannot be so indifferent.

Quickly sealed, small splashes of water emerged from the body, turning into inconspicuous transparent balls, blending with the surrounding environment and spreading in all directions.

The order was also passed on to all the merfolk and ninjas who had signed psychic contracts through the connection between the Kaibo Lord's splits.

After a while, the girl with long purple hair, Yuhuo, came to report.

"What's the catch?"

"Miss Xianglian, on her side, seems to feel a fleeting threat, and nothing else is abnormal. The red eye has more insight and refinement than the white eye, but it is not sensitive enough to the anomalous chakra, and it does not track down the enemy in the first place."

"Hmm."

Rubbing his chin, Gu Shanbu Shui, who thought about it, said,

"Now that the third test of the middle ninja exam is in full swing, so many nobles are present, the first task of the Konoha ninja is to protect them, not to chase down the traitorous ninja, not to mention, they won't really work hard to fight Orochimaru. In contrast, the "root" organization is a little more reliable. Leak the news to the Elders of the Tuan Zang and let them get busy."

Nearly half of the forces in Konoha Village are in the stands of the examination room, and the remaining half is defending on the periphery of the city wall, so there is not much mobile combat power left.

"Just now...... What's that?"

Momiji and Xianglin glanced at each other, so they had to put these aside for the time being

Put it down.

Orochimaru, who caused a small commotion, walked through the streets of Konoha Village, so many people, none of them were able to touch his existence, and even the Konoha Ninja patrol who passed by did not find anything abnormal.

After getting out of the gate of Konoha Village without danger, he ran wildly for more than ten minutes before he stopped at a small river, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Now in Konoha Village, the situation is not good, and there are not many people who can compete with Orochimaru.

The Konoha ninja is also afraid of falling for the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and it is not one or two who have the intention to take advantage of the chaos to do bad things, and it is not worth pressing on a suspicious person whose identity cannot be confirmed.

When he was analyzing the situation, the water surface reflecting his face suddenly stirred up a ripple, and the alert Orochimaru was about to retreat, and he saw a wave on the surface of the lake, six or seven meters high and dozens of meters long, and slapped it fiercely.

Orochimaru, who couldn't dodge, only had time to protect him, and was beaten upside down by the waves, and after a few more rolls, he jumped up and turned over, sealed his hands, and performed ninjutsu.

"Earth Escape, Earth Flow Wall."

A wall of earth rises from the ground, blocking the raging waves. Tu Dun's restraint effect on Shui Dun is still very considerable, and he has just been hit, but he just suffered the loss of being attacked.

Ten seconds later, the flood water subsided, Orochimaru waved his hand to clear the earthen wall, looked at the lake, only to see that the previous splash was nowhere to be seen, there was no one on the lake, and there was no trace of anyone passing by on the shore.

"Ran away? No, underwater."

Realizing that the sneak attackers had been ambushed here for a long time, Orochimaru was also convinced, such a wild countryside, who would dare to set up an ambush here?

Konoha Village is nearby, and there are friendly troops coming and going, so what's the use of being on guard in such a place? Only when the ninja world is in war, local breaking tactics and long-distance raids, there are occasionally such non-mainstream traps.

Let's not talk about what hostile forces in this era would invade so close to Konoha Village, and what is the probability that they will be bumped into by Orochimaru himself?

Just as he was about to give a blow to the underwater enemy, he saw that the moss and algae on the water surface quickly condensed and multiplied, rapidly expanded, and turned into a hideous dark green monster, occupying half of the river and blocking Orochimaru's way.

"What the hell?"

The movement of the chakra outbreak here will sooner or later alarm the Konoha ninja to come, and once they are caught up, it will not be easy to get rid of it.

"Fire Escape: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet."

From Orochimaru's mouth, he spit out a stream of scorching fire, and then quickly split into three, turning into three long dragons, and directly crashed into the monster on the water.

The flames collided with the soggy algae convergence monster, and the scorching flame stream instantly evaporated the water on the surface of the body, and the dry green monster not only became sluggish, but also flammable, turning into a giant torch in a matter of seconds.

The flames burned brightly, and the Konoha ninjas who were several kilometers away were aware of it.

The big snake pill that was close at hand was even more uncomfortable, after that strange guy was ignited, not only burned quickly, but also emitted a rather unpleasant smell, even the big snake pill, which had a big gap between the sense of smell and ordinary people, felt very uncomfortable.

What's even more tricky is that this green monster saw that it was invincible, so it simply dispersed, tiled and smashed on the surface of the river, forming a river of flames of hundreds of meters, and also ignited the bushes on the bank, with the intention of starting a forest fire.

Orochimaru didn't care about the fire or anything, but now was not the time, and this flame belt was blocking the way.

The big snake pill with a perception that is somewhat similar to snakes doesn't like this scorching environment very much, and even doesn't like to use it.

"What's underwater?"

In a different environment, Orochimaru must find out what the manipulators behind the scenes are hiding, but now, the pursuers of Konoha Village are getting closer and closer, and some minor things have to be abandoned.

After hesitating for a moment, Orochimaru opened his mouth, and a long sword was spat out, grabbed in his hand, and grew longer as Orochimaru danced, and then slashed at the burning monster on the surface of the river.

The cool water quickly extinguished the nearby sparks, creating a relatively safe pathway.

Don't care about flying sparks and heat waves

, Orochimaru quickly moved forward, stepping on the river and running.

When it reached the middle of the river, the monsters that seemed to be suppressed by the might of the Kusanagi Sword suddenly gathered and stirred, the exterior was still burning, and the inside was like a hollow ball, wrapping the big snake pill that could not be evaded, like a sticky green oil sludge, and the flames continued to spread.

"Is it a trick?"

Orochimaru, who seemed to have expected it, danced the long sword in his hand again, and the monster that was approaching was cut down mercilessly.

It's just that the guy who is like a slime monster has no weakness at all, even if he is ignited, burned in half, and cut into several pieces, he will not be fatally injured until the chakra is consumed.

It doesn't matter if you can't beat Orochimaru, as long as you delay its actions and let the Konoha ninja catch up.

In just over a minute, after defeating the monster and no longer being able to gather, more than a dozen dark people wearing animal masks have surrounded them.

"Sure enough, it's you, Orochimaru."

The voice of the leader was a little immature, but his demeanor was calm and measured, and he quietly mobilized his subordinates to block Orochimaru's retreat.

"You dare to stop me?"

"That's not for sure."

The leader quickly approached, and several shurikens were contained, and then quickly sealed,

"The Art of the Great Forest."

Facing the dark green vines that bound him, Orochimaru couldn't help but laugh and said:

"It turned out to be the 'legacy' I left back then, and there are still survivors."
