Chapter Seventy-Three: Orochimaru
In the Forest of Death, Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura took turns to be on guard.
Occasionally, there were some low howls from deep within the woods, presumably from some animals.
There should be no other teams nearby for the time being.
Sasuke took out the food from the folding bag, and with the folding bag, he didn't have to worry about eating, the only thing to consider was water, because Sasuke didn't have that many bottles, so he couldn't carry too much fresh water.
Luckily, it's close to the river in the heart of the Death Forest, so even if there's a shortage of water at the back, there's still living water to use.
"Sasuke is really reliable, he has prepared so much food."
Naruto picked up a rice ball and stuffed it into his mouth.
"It would be better if there was Ichiraku ramen or Ichiraku ramen in a cup."
“……”
Sasuke didn't bother to answer such a question.
He had found out before that some of the cup ramen that Naruto brought him to the hospital last time was still expired, how bad is this guy's living habits? Is it true that that expired cup ramen doesn't cause diarrhea when eaten?
"Stupid, it's good that Sasuke has something to eat for you, at least we don't have to hunt in the dangerous forest, you really think we're here for a picnic."
Sakura gave Naruto a gentle punch in the shoulder.
"I know, I'm just going to talk about it......"
Naruto muttered.
Several people ate the food in their hands and talked softly.
Suddenly, Sasuke stopped what he was doing, and his eyes became wary.
It was quiet, and the surroundings suddenly became very quiet, neither the howls of animals, nor even the sound of insects, so quiet that it was a little weird.
He turned his back to the two and gestured.
The two who saw Zuo's posture also stopped, stood up, and guarded each other back to back.
This is a vigilance, there is danger nearby.
After an eerie silence, Sasuke heard a "hiss" sound.
There was also something huge that was rubbing against the ground and nearby flowers and trees.
In this quiet environment, this muffled grinding sound makes people feel creepy and their scalps tingle.
"What ......?"
Naruto couldn't stand the numbing silence and said out loud.
"Quiet ......"
Sasuke was about to reprimand Naruto for not making a noise at such a time, but he saw a figure standing on a tree branch without leaning down.
And the other party also looked at him with interest at this time.
Hat, huge purple knot, this man is the strange long-tongued ninja who has been watching him before the start of the exam in the morning!
This is obviously not a chance encounter, the other party's goal from the beginning is himself, so he has been looking for him since he entered the examination room, and he has been looking for him until here.
When did he get here? I didn't find out at all before, this level of concealment means is really what a ninja who takes the middle ninja exam should have? And that terrifying insight in the morning.
Why did a ninja of this strength come to take the middle ninja exam?
A layer of cold sweat covered Sasuke's back.
"Naruto, protect Sakura, leave, quick!"
Sasuke conveyed what he wanted to convey to Naruto as briefly as possible, and at the same time took off his shirt, and the writing wheel entered the kaleidoscope form at the same time, and the Grace of God activated.
The sense of danger that this person gives Sasuke is not under the Abyss Apostle, and he in the ninja world does not have the blessing of Wendy's Thousand Winds power, and he does not dare to leave his hand in the face of an enemy of this level.
At this moment, a huge python appeared at their side, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced on them.
"Get moving, Naruto, quick!"
Sasuke's dragon wings just stretched out, only to find that Naruto and Sakura didn't move, only their faces were full of horror.
Killing Intent.
Although the strong killing intent brought by the python did not work for Sasuke, who had experienced Dvalin's endless hatred and corruption in Teyvat, Naruto and Sakura at this time were still rookie ninjas who had just graduated from ninja school, and they did not have the same experience as Sasuke, and at this time they were completely shocked by the killing intent released by the python and that strange person, and they couldn't move.
Damn, careless.
Sasuke naturally couldn't calculate that a ninja with this strength would come up and target them, so he grabbed Naruto and Sakura by the collar and lifted them into the air.
The long-tongued monster who had been observing Sasuke before was now brighter, and his tongue was swallowing more frequently.
"It's ...... Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye's ability? ”
"I see, at this age, I actually opened the kaleidoscope writing wheel, Sasuke, you have brought me more surprises than your brother."
"What a wonderful body...... So young and handsome...... The potential is limitless. ”
"Worthy of the genius of the Uchiha clan."
"It's more fun than I thought."
He stretched out a hand and raised it into the air, and this arm instantly transformed into multiple long snakes, which catapulted towards Sasuke in the air.
Sasuke sped up the speed of lift-off, but those long snakes spread faster, and although Sasuke dodged the entanglement of the long snakes, Naruto in his hand was wrapped around the arms that turned into snakes and pulled down.
Naruto's clothes were torn apart in the tugging of the two, dragged down, and were thrown like trash into the mouth of the giant python that had attacked them before and swallowed into the stomach.
"Naruto!"
Stunned by the swallowed Naruto, Sasuke sped up to fly and placed Sakura on a branch high above a large tree near the point, making sure she wasn't affected by the battle that followed.
"Sakura-chan, protect yourself, I'll go rescue Naruto."
He left Sakura with a shadow clone and returned to the battlefield with a wave of dragon wings.
The other party seemed to know that Sasuke would return, and waited in the same place with great interest.
Sasuke naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to ask who the other party was at this time and what his purpose was.
When he first looked at him, he had already noticed that the other party was staring at him greedily.
At that moment, he knew that this was a rat who coveted the power of their Uchiha clan's writing wheels.
If you want to get the power of the Uchiha, then be prepared to leave something behind.
The Sharingan locked on to the opponent's position, and Sasuke quickly lifted into the air.
The seal, the blue thunder light condensed in his hand.
Tightening his wings, Sasuke landed rapidly above the man.
The gravitational acceleration produced by this height is much faster than that of advancing through a forest full of obstacles.
Plover.
The devastating thunder light carried the speed at which an afterimage appeared, penetrating the opponent's celestial spirit from top to bottom in an instant, directly annihilating all the body tissues above the opponent's neck.
Is it wiped out?
Sasuke flailed his wings and gasped as he watched his opponent's fallen body.
Controlling his body at this speed is also a great burden on him, and the reaction caused by the fall requires him to control the dragon wings to counteract, otherwise even if Chidori penetrates the other party, he will fall straight to the landmark because he can't control the speed, turning into a puddle of Sasuke-chan.
Just when he thought he was done and wanted to rescue Naruto, the headless body began to twitch, and then cracked, and a figure emerged from the body like a white snake molting.
Great snake flow stand-in technique.
The appearance of the person who came out of this body was completely different from the previous one, and the forehead protector also changed from the grass hidden village to the forehead protector of the sound ninja village.
And there was no anger on his face that would arise from being hit by a thousand birds, but rather a morbid excitement.
"Worthy of the person who inherited the name of the Uchiha."
"You are indeed brothers, and you have more power in your eyes than the Uchiha Itachi."
"I really want you, Uchiha......"
"Sasuke."
