Chapter 240: A Taste of the Beginning
Whether it's Konoha Dark, Jiraiya, or the art duo of the "Akatsuki" organization, they almost all discovered each other, but they each had scruples and didn't make a move.
In addition to them, Iwa Shinobi and Yun Shinobi also sent a team to monitor from afar.
It's rare to see so many masters gathered in this small place as Tanokuni.
After a few times, even if Orochimaru relaxes again, it should be time to realize that there is a problem.
When the surrounding eyeliner passed the information of those uninvited people to Orochimaru's hands, one of the former "three ninjas" who almost broke out in a cold sweat because of his negligence, immediately decided to close all the underground bases in the vicinity and transfer the core.
The pharmacist who presided over the promotion was busy packing and taking away the important equipment and experimental records in the laboratory, and the valuable "materials" locked in the dungeon left in batches, and the remaining "consumables" were used as cannon fodder to attract the attention of the attackers.
Orochimaru himself, who was the center of the incident, was in no hurry to leave after calming down.
Not to mention whether the secret base will be discovered, even if it is breached, Orochimaru, who occupies the advantage of the home field, has a great chance of repelling the attacking enemy.
The only thing you need to care about is Jiraiya, who has been chasing for many years and has not given up, and the red sand scorpion, which is not pleasing to the eye.
"Orochimaru-sama, do you want to catch up with your old friends?"
"Wouldn't it be a pity to miss such an opportunity? Isn't it rumored that I have stolen the grave of the original purpose, and if I don't respond, wouldn't it seem too weak? ”
"Okay."
The pharmacist took the first step to escort the supplies away, but his heart was full of muttering.
"It's a pity? Weak? Orochimaru-sama didn't have such an abundance of radical thoughts before, so what's wrong with it now?"
If Orochimaru was really someone who cared so much about what outsiders thought of him, he wouldn't have defected from Konoha Village back then.
Except for immortality in mind and the plan to explore the mysteries of ninjutsu, everything else is dispensable.
With doubts and worries, the pharmacist skillfully used a series of disguises to deceive the pursuit and interception of all sides, and successfully escaped from the dangerous situation.
Orochimaru, who knows that his mentality is a little problematic, has no intention of wanting to change it for the time being.
Instead, he did a lot of things that surprised him.
A week later, in an abandoned temple to the east of Tanokuni, Jiraiya, who had drunk some wine and rested for a while, walked down the long street with his sleeves folded.
"I'm invited, Orochimaru, aren't you showing up yet?"
"It's really as stupid as before, aren't you afraid that this is a trap?"
"Even if it is going up the knife mountain and going down to the sea of fire, I will come. It is my mission to bring you back and wait for your fate. ”
"Don't be ashamed. Your mission is not to find the child of destiny, I am not the savior of those stinky toads, and you can't please me if you oppose me. ”
"You'll have to try it to find out."
Around the corner, Orochimaru walked over with a grim smile on his face, and stood still more than twenty meters in front of Jiraiya.
"I also want to see it, the toad immortal has a good trick, you don't need to be polite, let the horse come."
Hearing this, Zilai's face was also grim, and he quickly sealed.
"Fire Escape, Flame Bomb."
Gather the chakra in your mouth, condense it into oil, and use the fire escape to ignite it the moment it is spit out.
The oil fueled the fire, and the hot oil bomb headed in the direction of Orochimaru.
"Soil Escape, Earth Flow Wall."
A wide wall of earth rose up from the ground and blocked the attack of the Fire Escape Flame Bullet.
The high temperature and heat produced a small explosion that cracked the wall of the earthflow, then burned it and dumped it down.
Although it broke through the Earth Escape and Earth Flow Wall, the Fire Escape Fire Bullet did no damage in the end.
The Great Snake Pill that was so good for a while, looking at Jiraiya holding the azure blue chakra ball - the Spiral Pill bullied up, and pressed it with his hand, the power of A-level ninjutsu was indeed extraordinary, and the Great Snake Pill body was like being knocked down by a rag that had been blown away, and he rolled on the ground for more than ten meters, collapsing the wall behind him before stopping.
It seems that Zilai also has the upper hand, but Orochimaru is actually not so easy to get hit.
I saw that the languishing figure turned into a pile of loess, and it turned out that it was only a puppet that was hit by it.
"That's it? Orochimaru, you've regressed. ”
As he spoke, his white hair stretched out, protecting his whole body, blocking the sword light that suddenly slashed.
"No, you're still the same, still so insidious. And I, on the other hand, have become stronger. This time, you won't be able to run. ”
"How many times have you said this kind of thing in the past few years, and you have returned disappointed, haven't you learned your lesson? It seems that your strength is no more than that, and you can't recognize the gap between me and you. ”
"You're wrong, and I'll prove it to you."
As he spoke, Jiraiya took a few steps back, bit his fingers, and cast a psychic spell, and violent chakra fluctuations erupted, and a huge red-skinned toad, covered in scars and carrying a large knife, appeared impatiently.
"What's it this time, I'm ...... Huh? Orochimaru, it's really an old acquaintance. ”
Seeing that the other party had ended the temptation, Orochimaru was not polite, and quickly called Wan Snake over.
"I said it, Orochimaru, don't trouble me until you discuss the number of sacrifices."
"Two hundred."
"Deal, since you are so knowledgeable, I will reluctantly make it difficult...... Wait, it's you stinky toad? ”
"Trash bug, want to try if my knife is sharp?"
"Sooner or later, I'll squash you and eat you, a bastard who has no other skills than a particularly big breath."
Generally speaking, frogs are prey for snakes, but toads have venomous glands on their bodies and are too large for many snakes to provoke.
In fact, snakes and frogs prey on each other, and whoever eats the other depends on which side is larger enough to swallow the other.
Water snakes are often seen eating frogs, but frogs are rarely seen preying on water snakes because they can't compete on the same stage.
Some giant frogs, such as toads, bullfrogs, and horned frogs, do incorporate smaller snakes and juvenile snakes into their diets, and once caught, they will not hesitate to swallow them.
Toad Bunta originally belonged to a race with a stomach except for the mouth, and it was entirely possible to swallow a snake about the same size as his own body. Of course, it is not a problem for Wan Snake to eat the toad Wentai.
The toad Bunta, who held the handle of the knife with his forelimbs, was alert to the ten thousand snakes who were spitting snake letters, and Jiraiya, who was standing above his head, looked at Orochimaru from afar, and while delaying the experiment with words, he made a seal and prepared to launch the immortal mode.
As if he didn't know about Orochimaru, he watched Jiraiya's movements with great curiosity, and his own perception clearly detected the abnormal movement of the natural energy around him. He also began to activate the spell mark quietly, ready to turn on the immortal mode.
A few minutes later, the chattering Jilai also accumulated enough chakra, turned on the immortal mode, and the frog transformation traces on his face were very deep, and at the same time performed spiritism, summoned the Shima Immortal and the Fukasaku Immortal over, and cast the Immortal Law and the Twin Lives Technique, combining the power of the three, and the power of the Toad Immortal reached its peak.
"Immortal Method, Fire Escape, Great Flame Bomb."
After getting ready, Jiraiya quickly unleashed a powerful fire escape, heading towards the huge Ten Thousand Snakes and the Great Snake Pill.
"Naive."
The Great Snake Pill who sneered once again cast the Earth Escape Earth Flow Wall to block the Immortal Fire Escape.
The result this time is no different from last time.
"It can't be."
The stunned Jiraiya watched the immortal law being blocked, and it was a little incomprehensible for a while.
Neither of mutual restraint, the Immortal Method, Fire Escape, and Great Flame Bullet are enough to crush ordinary Earth Escape Ninjutsu into slag.
After coughing twice, the Shima Immortal pointed in the direction of the Great Snake Pill and said:
"Little Jiraiya, look at the other side. We're in trouble! ”
I saw that the figure of the Great Snake Pill had also changed slightly, and the traces of snake transformation were obvious, and there were four or five purple dragon-shaped chakras circling around his body, which was obviously not an ordinary technique.
"That'...... Also in Immortal mode? This shouldn't be, he had said before that he had failed to practice snake immortal arts. ”
"Failure in the past does not mean that it will not succeed in the future, obviously, Orochimaru has done it, what a great genius."
"Even so, I won't stop."
As he spoke, Jiraiya puffed up the chakra of his whole body again, and after charging his strength, he opened his mouth and spat out a large ball of flames.
"Senfa: Goemon."
It's almost the strongest fire escape ninjutsu that Jiraiya can perform now, and it also uses the power of the experienced Shima Immortals and Fukasaku Immortals.
"Psychic Triple Rashomon."
As Orochimaru's words fell, three grimacing doors rose from the ground, blocking the mighty Fire Escape.
The Mie Rashimon Gate was destroyed one after another, proving that Jiraiya's jutsu was indeed terrifying, and the Senfa Goemon Gate, which had been partially weakened, hit Mansera and Orochimaru head-on, and burst into flames.
Half a minute later, the scorching flames slowly subsided, and Jiraiya looked around with an unsightly face.
I saw that the snake-like thing under the firelight was just a hollow snake molting, and the main owner was long gone.
The powerful Immortal Fire Escape Ninjutsu didn't work, and he was a little disappointed, but he was quite understandable. If it was so easy to catch Orochimaru, it wouldn't be so difficult.
"What about people?"
After a short but fierce conflict, Orochimaru retreated very simply.
Defeating or even killing Jiraiya is not the purpose of Orochimaru, asking this former comrade-in-arms to come out to meet is actually to confirm some ideas about the immortal mode, since the other party is so cooperative, Orochimaru is naturally very happy to help.
After the goal is achieved, there is no need to continue fighting, and Orochimaru will naturally not waste time in a dangerous place.
"Jilai is still the guy who can't make it, the so-called toad immortal art, he hasn't practiced at all, and without the help of two stinky toads, it's very reluctant to even maintain a fighting posture. As for the immortals...... The power is quite great, and it is not excluded that there are more powerful tricks, but the essence is nothing more than that, and it is not much better than the immortal mode developed from the spell seal."
The Immortal Mode is just a combat posture to maintain stronger strength, and there is no essential difference between the first, second, and third states of the spell seal.
There is a limit to its own strength, so it is supplemented by natural energy, and the utilization mode and efficiency are similar.
Leaving Jiraiya alone in that impotent rage, Orochimaru quickly headed west.
"It's just right, I'm going to the Land of the Wind and talk to the Wind Shadow about cooperation."
After making up his mind, Orochimaru strengthened his perception a lot, looked in the direction that Deidara and the Red Sand Scorpion were tracking, and after sneering disdainfully, he didn't care anymore, but took advantage of the state blessing of the immortal mode to speed up and leave.
Although this sudden change doesn't know who is behind the scenes, Orochimaru doesn't plan to care about it for the time being, but follows his own plan and implements it in an orderly manner.
On the other side, the oil girl Zhihui, who silently saw the battle scene in his eyes, asked the dark to stare at the direction of Orochimaru's departure, and followed Jiraiya's footsteps, intending to wait for him to stabilize his mood and come forward to chat.
Even Zilai couldn't take it, and a few dark people still don't have the luxury of hoping to do anything about Orochimaru.
What's more, the information that Orochimaru's strength has become stronger must be transmitted back to the village as soon as possible.
……
After being sent to a more secluded base nearby with a large group of unruly fellows, Wind Demon Lan looked at his new "roommate", and the three of them looked at each other across the iron bar.
The sturdy Jirofang is the guy who has given Wind Demon Lan a great impact several times, and he is born with divine power, and ordinary people can't withstand his attacks at all.
One force will drop ten times, and he is talking about him. Maybe Jirobo can't kill the Quartet at a higher level, and in this gloomy underground arena, he is already one of the strongest people.
On the other side, Tayuya was also a handsome little girl at the beginning, but in the battles again and again, that natural temperament was wiped out. The current Tayuya is a terrible murderous god who is short-tempered and uses voice illusions to kill people and be moody when he doesn't agree with him.
As for Wind Demon Lan, I don't know what Gu Shanbu Shui, who has never even seen before, has done inside his body, and his strength has become stronger and stronger.
Lan, who has always been with a fake smile, always has a good temper and is quite kind to people, but the people who have dealt with him are basically dead, and he is still alive and well.
At first, no one cared, but after a long time, Wind Demon Lan became the smiling Shura that everyone respected.
"Sacrifice...... It's getting harder and harder.'
There are not many masters who can get on the stage, and looking at Jirobo and Tayuya viciously here is a good target, but unfortunately, their strength is beyond the scope of what Wind Demon Lan can deal with, at least for now, there is no way to do anything with them.
In another dungeon, there are two more worthy of sacrifice masters, Left and Right and Ghost Boy Pill.
Quietly looking at the black diamond-shaped mark on his wrist, Wind Demon Lan's restless heart also calmed down a little.
Every time the "wedge" thawed in stages, Wind Demon Lan could feel that there seemed to be some kind of power awakening in his body.
"That's definitely not the Blood Inheritance Limit."
Wind Demon Lan was sure of this, and although she was a little worried, she had to rely on it now.
In this dangerous dungeon, strength is the only way to save your life.
"Sasame, Kageno, and ...... Compatriots, wait for me, and you will definitely go back and see you."
