Xie Mao looked around and counted the number of people: "The ninjas who gathered here before didn't leave." ”

Raksha was reminded, bowed his head slightly, and announced to everyone: "Except for the upper ninja and the dark ninja, the rest of the ninjas need to follow me and the scorpion before the end of the mission, and must not communicate with the outside world." ”

The credibility of the upper ninja and the dark ninja is very high, and there are only two upper ninjas here, Raksha and Karura, both of whom are deeply trusted by the three generations of the Kazekage, and the dark ninja is the henchman of the Kazekage, so naturally there will be no constraints.

However, there is no such treatment for the middle ninja and the lower ninja.

The ninjas looked at each other, and although they were a little confused, their high obedience made them all agree without any doubts.

"Raksha." Garura walked over and said, "Is there anything else you need me to do next?" ”

Luo Sha said, "No, you can go back first." ”

"Then I'll accompany them to the research room with the puppet and sword first."

Garura advised, "Be careful. ”

Xie Mao and Luo Sha both bowed their heads, and after Jia Ruluo left, Luo Sha looked at Xie Mao and asked, "Now start divination?" ”

Although the third generation of the wind shadow handed over the command of the scene to Luo Sha, he knew that what this mission really had to rely on was Xie Mao's divination.

Traditional tracking methods are likely not to work.

Xie Mao looked at the ninjas around him and said, "Let's report all kinds of information first." ”

"Yes, one by one." Luo Sha arranged.

One after another, a shadow ninja stepped forward to report:

"The building opposite the puppet is a shop, and no suspicious traces or breaths have been found in the building, and the people in the shop have no clues."

"The intelligence ninja in charge of monitoring Kazama and Yama Tachibana reported that the last time they were seen was last night, and neither of them was missing since."

"There is nothing abnormal about Yamatachi's residence, but some hidden records have been discovered, and it has been preliminarily determined that Yamatachi is a spy of Iwa Shinobi."

"Kazama's dwelling has been cleaned, and there are no special traces or smells left, so it is very difficult to trace."

"Yamachi's companion Red Ant is also missing, and there are some slight signs of fighting in the residence, and the trace of the smell disappeared halfway through."

The more Luo Sha listened, the darker his face became, and he said in a deep voice: "In other words, we can't track them down?" ”

Even though the ninjas in the shadows were all wearing masks, Xie Mao could still feel that they were turning their heads slightly, looking at each other.

A shadow ninja stepped forward and said, "When most of the traces are eliminated, it is very difficult to recover, but it is certain that they should not leave the Sand Hidden Village." ”

This is the information I got after contacting the enchantment class.

"If we can lock down the village and mobilize hundreds of sentient ninjas to conduct a covering search, we can theoretically find out the anomaly in one to two days." Another Shadow Ninja said.

“…… It's been too long. Luo Sha shook his head and said, "These few days are all the middle ninja exams, and the flow of people is frequent, and the cost of locking down the village is very high, and it is difficult to draw enough sentient ninjas to help." ”

Xie Mao pondered and said, "There will be a lot of ninjas out of the village in tomorrow's exam, maybe the enemy is aiming at this time." ”

"You can't interfere with the Shinobi exam because of espionage." Luo Sha knows very well that the middle ninja exam is one of the faces of a ninja village, and it can't be interrupted because of some small things.

If the village is closed because of a few spies, the Sand Hidden Village will immediately become the laughing stock of other ninja villages, so the high-level leaders of the Sand Hidden Village will never make a decision to blockade it, at most strengthen the enchantment, and strictly screen the people who enter and exit, but tomorrow's middle ninja exam will easily give the spies a chance to exploit loopholes.

Fortunately, there are more unreasonable divinations.

"Leave it to me." Xie Mao jumped upstairs, scraped off some blood stains with kunai, and then fell back to the ground, he held his cane in a false grip, trying to find the owner of the blood with the divination staff.

As the divination began, the cane tilted slightly, pointing diagonally in the direction of the front.

Luo Sha perked up and said, "Found it? ”

Xie Mao looked at the cane, frowned slightly, and said, "It doesn't seem right." ”

"Well, what do you mean?" Luo Sha frowned, "Split again?" ”

"It's not."

Xie Mao shook his head, he felt the cane seriously, and said slowly: "The distance is not right, the cane seems to be pointing to an extremely far place." ”

"Far away?"

"The owner of the blood is not in the Sand Hidden Village, and maybe not even in the Land of the Wind." Xie Mao held his cane and ended the divination.

He looked at Raksha and asked, "Do you have any of their belongings in Kazama?" ”

"Yes, I took them all." Raksha handed over the clothes of Kazama, Yamaman, and Red Ant, with labels on them indicating whose they belonged to.

These personal items can be used for divination.

Xie Mao first wrapped Kazama's clothes around the cane and divined again, and soon had a corresponding direction.

He didn't stop, changed the clothes of the mountain orange and the red ant to continue divination, and found that the direction of the cane pointing to the mountain orange was consistent with the wind, and the two were most likely together, and when divining the location of the red ant, the cane did not react.

If there is no response, it means that the red ant may be dead.

"Kazama and Yamamandarin are still in the village, they should be together, and if the red ants are gone, they may be dead." Xie Mao calmly said his conclusion.

"Are you sure?" Luo Sha didn't trust Xie Mao's divination very much, after all, he had just made a mistake last time.

Xie Mao didn't mind and said, "I need a quiet environment to verify." ”

"Then let's go inside." Luo Sha gestured sideways, this blood-stained house has been temporarily blocked, and Xie Mao can use it at any time.

Xie Mao immediately walked into the house with his things, and after turning on his spiritual vision and looking around and finding nothing abnormal, he separated his clothes from the blood-stained kunai, and then walked four steps backwards to the gray mist.

Xie Mao This is to try to ensure the accuracy of divination.

He embodied the clothes and kunai on the bronze long table, first picked up the bloody kunai, and with a flick of his fingers, the blood on it was separated and floated in front of Xie Mao.

"The source of blood."

Xie Mao took out a pen and paper, wrote down the divination sentences, and then closed his eyes while silently reciting in his heart.

The darkness in front of him grew hazy, and then he saw entangled snakes, some of which had obvious wounds on their bodies.

Xie Mao's divination is actually snake blood.

And the moment he saw the snake, Xie Mao knew who his enemy was.

Orochimaru is really here!

Xie Mao was surprised by this, but he was not surprised at all at this time, or rather, he was even more curious about how the Great Snake Pill could come so late.

Konoha's spies are almost wiped out, why did you do it?

This is also the last "three forbearances" that Xie Mao came into contact with.

He and Tsunade had met above the Grey Mist, and he had fought Jiraiya twice, and then Orochimaru was left.

I'm afraid this confrontation is going to be in Shayin Village.

It's not impossible to kill him...... Xie Mao thought silently.

Orochimaru is simply a mess of leads, especially his improved [Filthy Earth Reincarnation] is extremely troublesome.

This kind of guy who only cares about immortality in his heart, regards human life like a mustard, and likes destruction and chaos is not a good thing, the key is that the strength is still extremely strong, if you really want to be an enemy, it is best to be ruthless.

But now Orochimaru is secretly doing cruel experiments, but he has not defected on the surface, and he is still the hero of Konoha Hidden Village, and if he is killed, it will inevitably attract Konoha's anger and revenge.

The current three generations of Hokage are still at the tail of their peak, and their heart has not completely dispersed, and if their love dies, they will be furious even if they are at a loss.

If the third ninja war broke out early, Xie Mao felt that it would still be too much of a loss.

"Just catch him and imprison him first, and never let him go, and wait until I am promoted to Sequence 5 and have the ability to be secretly coupled, and then kill Orochimaru completely, even if war breaks out at that time, I will not be afraid when I really grow up."

Xie Mao couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.

If only Orochimaru were so easy to catch.

In terms of survivability alone, Orochimaru is a unique one, even if he should not have developed [Immortal Reincarnation] at this time, it is still very difficult to kill.

After all, Orochimaru is quite life-sparing.

Xie Mao shook his head and put aside these thoughts, and instead divined the clothes of the others in turn, and came to the same conclusion, the red ant was indeed dead, and Kazama and Yama Tachibana were still alive.

This is consistent with the divination results when he did not enter the gray mist, and it seems that Orochimaru has no precautions against divination.

Xie Mao simulated the feeling of falling back to reality, picked up his things and walked out of the room, and said to Luo Sha's expectant gaze: "Let's go." ”

In a slightly dry and dimly lit underground tunnel.

"Your sewers here are drier than they thought." Orochimaru's figure walked out of the darkness and said casually.

Kazama and Yamatachi are tied up here, looking sluggish and in extremely poor condition, but barely maintaining consciousness.

The so-called cooperation is that Orochimaru coerces and lures all the information with clever words, and people are tied here at will by him.

It can also be called a win-win situation.

Kazama and Yamachibana, a sand ninja and a rock ninja, Orochimaru can't look down on them.

He still has feelings for Konoha, and Konoha is a real high-level, so Orochimaru won't really cooperate with them at all.

When he finished using them, Orochimaru didn't mind sending them to death, or simply bringing them back as experimental materials.

Orochimaru squinted at Kazama and said coldly, "Today is your puppet being crucified, tomorrow is your crucification, and the brewing storm should be enough for me to find the glass snake." ”

He planted a special "seed" in that sword, which could be nurtured and sprouted at any time if he wanted, causing turmoil and obtaining information at the same time.

Kazama didn't speak with a calm face, and Orochimaru didn't mind, and continued, "You shouldn't want to die, right?" I've always wanted to study the results left behind by the second generation of Kazekage, so the forbidden technique in your mind is valuable. ”

Even Orochimaru didn't dare to go deep into the Kazekage Building and steal the forbidden scroll that was kept closely.

Kazama was able to steal forbidden jutsu in the past because he was already trusted, and many of the forbidden spells were not directed at him.

Secondly, a technique like [Michen Country], which has never been successfully cultivated, is not very valued in the first place.

“…… My answer is the same, die. Kazama said.

"It's a shame." Orochimaru's tone was gentle, but his sinking face was full of murderous intent, and he slowly glanced at Yamachi.

"Kazama, it's all time, it's important to save your life." The mountain orange on the side hurriedly persuaded.

Kazama looked sideways at Yamatachi with contempt, and closed his mouth without making any response.

"It's stubborn." Orochimaru's expression was extremely cold.

Although he was able to obtain a lot of information from Kazama's brain and body with some secret techniques, it was extremely difficult to obtain the complete forbidden arts.

Just as Orochimaru was about to use physical means to convince him, a snake swam quickly, then gently wrapped around Orochimaru's legs, all the way up, and finally stopped at his shoulder, letting out a continuous hissing sound.

Orochimaru listened sideways, his face becoming a little strange: "They came all the way here?" ”

How is it possible, he has carefully removed all traces, smells, footprints and other things that are conducive to tracking have not been left, why can Sand Shinobi still chase him?

And he also deliberately left a small gift on that puppet, which could theoretically drag on for a lot of time, why was he chased so quickly.

Although he didn't believe it in his heart, Orochimaru knew very sensibly that this information was most likely true.

He silently began to seal, his hand was fast, and then he bit his thumb open, and his palm fell to the ground with a little blood.

Boom!

In the vast white smoke, thick snakes were all over the secret passage.

"Spread out." Orochimaru commanded, and the surrounding snakes immediately dispersed in obedience to the order, swimming in all directions.

No matter how those sand ninjas tracked them, these snakes will mess with their clues and affect their judgment.

This would give Orochimaru time to leave.

He stepped forward and lifted Kazama and Yamamandarin one by one, and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a violent noise from above.

“！？”

Orochimaru was frightened in his heart, but he still calmly and quickly sealed, and his body suddenly split and walked out of a new Orochimaru, which turned into the appearance of a mountain orange in a puff of white smoke, and the original body was like a snake skin wrapped around the mountain orange, and a large amount of sticky silk wrapped around the mountain orange's body, which immediately made the mountain orange lose consciousness.

After making these big snake pills, he hurriedly looked up, and found that the top of the dark path was actually directly opened by the earth escape ninjutsu, and a large area of gold like waves poured down, directly filling the field of vision of the big snake pill.

Orochimaru's reaction was very fast, and he immediately threw Kazama and "Yamachibana" into the depths of the dark tunnel, and then retreated to the other side.

But in the narrow dark passage, the surging gold dust was unavoidable, and they swarmed up, wrapped up and twisted the big snake pill fiercely, and the big snake pill's body was immediately twisted like a rag, and then the outer skin shattered, revealing the mountain orange in it.

But it was just a corpse.

"What!?" Raksha, who was rushing down on the dust, was stunned on the spot, and he turned back in disbelief to find that Kazama and Yamatachi, who had been thrown out, were gone.

Orochimaru was able to replace himself and Yamamana before he was attacked, and he also manipulated Yamatachibana to make moves.

What a weird trick...... Luo Sha looked at Xie Mao, who was brought down by him on the side, and hurriedly asked, "Can you still chase it?" ”

"Hmm." Xie Mao popped out the chakra line and pulled the outer skin of the Great Snake Pill over, and when he was about to grab it, this outer skin spontaneously combusted, and it disappeared in just a few seconds.

"It's really cautious." Xie Mao couldn't stop the spontaneous combustion of this layer of skin, and in the strong smell of fire roasting, it was difficult to track the Great Snake Pill with the smell.

If Orochimaru gave up Kazama and ran away, Xie Mao felt that it would be difficult for him to catch him again.

But Orochimaru's act of taking away Kazama just now means that Kazama is still valuable, that is, Orochimaru will not give up Kazama easily until the last moment.

"Hurry up." Xie Mao held his cane and ran out first.
