The prestige of the three ninjas is like thunder among the Konoha ninjas.

Although Orochimaru was not present in person, he only sent a small snake to deliver the message.

But neither Nara nor Yakushi Nonoyu will ignore the existence of this scroll.

Not to mention that the recorded information on this scroll is deliberately written in encrypted text at the root!

Nara Langui could think with his toes that Orochimaru's sudden visit was absolutely inseparable from the roots.

Yakushi Nonoyu took the scroll and translated the words on the scroll very skillfully, and relayed it at the same time.

"What this scroll says is that Orochimaru-sama invited me and you to meet in the forest on the outskirts of Kikyo Castle."

Just a meeting?

Nara Langui was a little surprised, and grasped the point and asked, "Is there a mention of the existence of 'roots' on this scroll?" ”

"Nope." Yakushi Nonoyu looked at the scroll again and replied with great certainty.

Nara Langui's brow furrowed slightly.

Orochimaru deliberately used the encrypted text of the root to contact the Kikyo Orphanage, and the meaning behind this is self-evident-

He was ordered by the roots, so he has today's action.

Nara is aware that there is some "unclear" relationship between Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo.

It's just that he didn't expect that long before the start of the Third Ninja World War, the two of them would hook up together......

But the problem is that according to the bad relationship between Nara Langui, Yakushi Nonoyu and Roots.

If it was really Shimura Danzou who sent Orochimaru, the other party's contact attitude would definitely not be so polite-

Wrong!

Nara Langui suddenly remembered the fat nun who had disappeared for no reason, and asked again.

"Sister Nonoyu, you said that the disappearance of the nun, could it have something to do with Orochimaru?"

"The nun is just an ordinary person, Orochimaru-sama shouldn't be ......"

Yakushi Nonoyu was originally inclined to be dignified and ninja, and would not do anything to threaten others with the lives of ordinary people.

But at this moment, Shimura Danzo's bandaged face suddenly flashed in her mind, as well as the other party's previous threatening remarks.

Pharmacist Ye Naiyu frowned, and changed his words: "I can't be sure either." ”

After some discussion, Nara and Yakushi Nonoyu decided to go to the forest on the outskirts of the city to make an appointment together.

However, considering the potential risks of meeting Orochimaru, the two still made some preparations in advance.

……

When Nara and the two came to the agreed place in the forest on the outskirts of the city.

Orochimaru, who was wearing a green upper ninja vest and a Konoha forehead guard, was waiting here alone.

"Did you really come to the appointment?"

Orochimaru's trademark hoarse voice resounded in the forest, and the birds fluttered their wings away.

"Yakushi-san, Nara-kun."

"Orochimaru-sama."

Yakushi Nonoyu took a step forward and returned the salute according to social etiquette.

Nara Langui is also learned, but while reciprocating, he has been using [Lacquer Eye] to observe his surroundings.

Somewhat surprisingly, there was no unusual flow of chakras in the surrounding woods.

Orochimaru is really just the only one here.

"Orochimaru-sama, you invited the two of us over......"

Yakushi Ye Naiyu originally planned to continue to be polite, but Orochimaru obviously didn't have the leisure to do so.

"I guess you two know the reason and purpose of my coming here, don't you?"

Orochimaru stretched out his slender blood-red snake tongue and gently licked the corners of his mouth.

The words fell, and a cold and murderous aura started from the point where he was standing, and rushed towards the direction of Nara Langui and Yakushi Nonoyu.

Medicine Master Ye Naiyu's pupils contracted slightly, only to feel that a sea of corpses and blood suddenly flashed in front of her, and the incomparably rich smell of blood made people almost sick, and her delicate body hidden under the nun's robe trembled slightly.

Nara Langui also felt the imminence of this amazing murderous aura, but his spiritual strength had already crossed the A-level, and his on-the-spot performance was more stable than the pharmacist Ye Naiyu next to him.

"It's just a simple murderous aura, but there is no real killing intent."

Nara Langui looked at Orochimaru from afar and said calmly.

"Shimura Danzo's order, is it to intimidate the two of us?"

"Hehehe......"

Orochimaru retracted his momentum and let out a chuckle, observing Nara with great interest.

"Nara-kun, you're really a boy who is a little overconfident, just like I learned before.

"In any case, Shimura Danzou is a high-ranking village elder, and we need to respect him, don't we?"

Nara smiled noncommittally.

Everyone refers to Shimura Danzo by name, and no one can make fun of anyone when it comes to looking down on each other.

"Of course, there are respectable shinobi in the village, such as the director of the Kikyo Orphanage, for example, the two generations of class leaders of the upper ninja class."

Nara made no secret of his contempt and hostility.

"But Shimura Danzo, is he worthy?"

"I'm really getting more and more interested in you, Nara-kun."

The curious glint in Orochimaru's eyes became more and more intense.

"Elder Shimura did give me a mission order, the kind of mission that you should all know about.

"After all, you've been through it once before."

As soon as Orochimaru's words came out.

Yakushi Ye Naiyu subconsciously touched the weapon in the ninja bag.

Nara Langui is eyes are also staring, ready to face the psychological preparation.

But Orochimaru suddenly changed his words.

"However, the Shimura group has his thoughts, and I have mine."

Speaking of this, Orochimaru took the initiative to stretch out his white, somewhat sickly palm towards Nara Langui, and there was a little poppy-like temptation in his hoarse voice.

"Nara-kun, I know you're a different kid.

"To a genius like you, the Nara people are like duckweed on a pond.

"Its strength is too weak and weak to support the vigorous growth of a young tree, and it can't even withstand too much wind and waves, so ......

"Do you want to come to my command to see a broader scenery and taste the new wind that shakes the times?"

Yakushi Nonoyu looked at the three shinobi on the opposite side in astonishment.

She didn't expect that Orochimaru's goal would be to recruit Nara Langui!

However, in the face of the solicitation of the three ninjas, who were almost at the top of the Konoha strength pyramid, Nara Langui only chuckled.

"Orochimaru-sama, do you know?"

He suddenly moved on to seemingly inconsequential topics.

"After graduating from ninja school, I didn't become a qualified ninja due to physical problems.

"But under the adjustment arrangement of the teachers of the ninja school, I still successfully entered the animal taming recuperation class of the medical department."

"As for Nara-kun's life trajectory, I have already learned from Elder Shimura Danzo."

Orochimaru didn't show the slightest look of displeasure, but just said cooperatively.

"But I believe that with Nara-kun's level, I'm afraid I won't stay in the beast taming recuperation class for too long, right?"

"It's really shorter than expected."

Nara responded happily, revealing top-secret information that only him, Tsunade, and Inuzuka Paw knew.

"I was fired before I even went to work."

“……”

Rao is the psychological quality of Orochimaru, and after hearing this, he almost showed a sluggish expression.

You put this and this!

"Now that Nara-kun has left the animal taming recuperation class, it can be regarded as a free identity."

Orochimaru was patient and spoke.

"Or ...... Nara-kun has joined another department? ”

"I don't know, exactly."

Nara spread his hands.

"The last boss to contact my ninja file should be the head of the medical department.

"In other words, if I had to say it, I should be a subordinate of Tsunade Ji now."

This kid is Tsunade's subordinate?

Are you kidding!?

Orochimaru's pupils shrank slightly.

Why is this not mentioned in the intelligence network of the root at all?

"So, ah......"

Nara Langui deliberately put on a curious posture.

"Orochimaru-sama, are you going to discuss with Lord Sensei about recruiting me?"

Looking at the smiling kid opposite, the smile on Orochimaru's fair-skinned and sickly face gradually faded.

"Nara-kun, do you think that with Tsunade standing behind you, I won't do anything to you?"

"How could it be ......?"

Nara waved his hand, he still knew how cold-blooded Aunt Snake was—no, it should be Uncle Snake now.

"I just wanted to say that the two of us are two very different types of ninjas.

"Orochimaru-sama, you aspire to be a new wind that shakes the times.

"But for me, living in the pond is more than easy enough."

Looking at Nara Langui's greedy and unenterprising attitude.

Orochimaru's heart gave birth to a faint sense of jealousy and dissatisfaction for no reason.

War is breaking out, and every moment people are dying and turning into the most humble dust.

Why are you, a little imp of the Nara clan, able to eat all day long and do nothing?!

"Hehe......"

Orochimaru let out a long laugh again, but this time his laughter was noticeably colder than before.

"I'll tell Tsunade about Nara-kun's thoughts later.

"But now...... Let me give you a little gift! ”

Say it's too late, then it's too fast.

Orochimaru's neck suddenly elongated like rubber, his head "flew" directly from his neck, and his long black hair danced wildly in the sky like a black snake.

Like a poisonous snake that chooses people to devour, Orochimaru opened his bloody mouth and bit Nara Langui's body fiercely.

"Lan Gui!"

Yakushi Nonoyu subconsciously exclaimed, she wanted to take a step forward and stand in front of Nara Langui.

But it's a pity that her speed is still a cut slower than Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's snake neck tightly wrapped around Nara Langui's body, and the two sharp fangs in the bloody mouth, the tips of which condensed a few drops of "venom" emitted an awe-inspiring cold light in the sunlight.
