Chapter 125 stalemate
Chapter 125 stalemate
Deep underground in Konoha, within the base of the roots. .
Danzo was sitting on the chair, his eyes were gloomy, and he was desperately suppressing the anger in his heart. His whole person exuded an aura that no strangers should enter.
"Asshole!" Danzo suddenly yelled, with a very ferocious expression on his face. At the same time, the crutch he held in his hand hit the ground hard, making a clanging sound. Danzo was shaking with anger, and his eyes were filled with anger. Showing unwillingness, anger, and even a trace of despair.
Over the past month, he has been busy cooperating with Orochimaru and has not paid attention to other information. Just now, his subordinates reported to him the news that Jiraiya appeared in Konoha. In the village, and also helped Morino Ihiki, the head of the Torture Department, to repel the giant snake summoned by Orochimaru.
But this is not important. In Danzo's eyes, Jiraiya's appearance only means one thing, that is, he has missed the throne of Hokage again.
He tried his best and even cooperated with Orochimaru, a rebellious ninja, and managed to kill Hiruzen, but now, he had to make wedding clothes for others.
Danzo himself knew very well that there was only one situation in which he could become Hokage, and that was if there was really no one available in Konoha.
Only in this way can it be his turn. After all, Danzo is too old. In the eyes of others, he is already a useless old man. Even the third generation Hokage's strength has greatly declined. Not to mention.
It is impossible for Danzo to roll up his sleeves and tell them that I have first-generation cells and live with more energy than young people. You are completely overthinking.
And now, just when he thought he had finally succeeded, Jiraiya came back, and between Jiraiya and him, more than % of the people in Konoha would choose Jiraiya, even those who had been The two members of the elder group who had always been colluding with him were no exception. In other words, his dream of becoming Hokage was broken again.
Just when Danzo was frustrated alone, he suddenly felt that somewhere, there seemed to be a great malice sprouting against him.
......
The scene fell into a stalemate. Orochimaru and Sakura stood face to face, but neither of them made a move first.
This is not because Orochimaru is still immersed in his thoughts. In fact, although Orochimaru had imagined the scene of Danzo persecuting him for a long time in his mind before, he had not spent even a minute in the real world. He had long since come to his senses.
However, after Orochimaru thought he understood the truth, he did not immediately take action to kill Sakura, who was just a genin in his eyes, because it had no meaning to the entire battle. In a battle of this level, genin and cannon fodder It makes no difference. Even if he is alive, it is of no use. His real enemies should be those jounin hiding in the dark.
What's more, Sakura's fighting power may not be as good as a genin in Orochimaru's eyes. After all, Sakura was knocked unconscious by her own gust of wind in the forest of death. At that time, even Orochimaru was a little surprised, because Even students from a ninja school wouldn't be so "weak".
Judging from the fact that Sakura had directly admitted defeat to Gaara before, it is estimated that she has not made any progress in the more than a month since the Death Forest. If Sakura really wanted to participate in the battle, she would instead give Gaara Hold back.
Orochimaru didn't take any action at the moment, he was just thinking about how to escape from here.
There are no less than a plurality of Jonin who come to hunt him, and on his side, he himself has lost all combat effectiveness, so the only one he can rely on is Kabuto.
But Orochimaru also knew very well that Kabuto could not be the opponent of more than ten Jonin. In other words, in theory, he could only die.
Orochimaru is not completely unacceptable to this result. This is not because he is not afraid of death, but because he knows that even if he dies here, he will still be resurrected from other ninjas who have been planted with curses in the future.
But if possible, Orochimaru still hopes to try his best to avoid this result, because there will be a three-year interval every time he uses the Fuzo Reincarnation. If he uses the Fuzo Reincarnation now, it means that he will not be able to take Sasuke's body within three years. Well, that would go against his plan to grab Sasuke's body within a year.
And not only that, if he is really killed by the pursuing ninja, although Orochimaru himself will not really die, Kabuto standing next to him will not have this treatment. If he is killed, he will really die.
Kabuto is now Orochimaru's important assistant. If Kabuto's help is lost, half of Orochimaru's experiments will be unable to continue. This is something Orochimaru cannot accept.
Therefore, in order to ensure that his experiments and plans were not affected, Orochimaru could only think of ways to escape.
And Sakura also had her reasons for not taking action, which was to further weaken Orochimaru.
After all, Sakura is not a prophet. Although she knows that Orochimaru is very weak now because she knows the plot, she would not have thought that Orochimaru would be so weak. After all, in her memory, Orochimaru even had both hands when he was at the Tenchi Bridge. Unable to form a seal, it can also temporarily suppress the four-tailed Naruto.
Although Orochimaru can't compare to his intact state now, he should be conservatively estimated to be around the strength of a Jonin.
So since Orochimaru doesn't take the initiative, Sakura is happy to spend time with him. Anyway, as time goes by, the opponent's injuries will only become more serious without treatment. When the time comes, it will be easier for Sakura to deal with him. So she didn't mind waiting any longer.
"It's strange why those people haven't come out yet." After a while, when no one appeared in front of him, Orochimaru felt a trace of doubt in his heart.
Orochimaru's strength has now dropped to freezing point, and his perception has also plummeted, and Kabuto is not good at perception-based ninjutsu, so if there are Jonin-level enemies hiding, they will not be able to detect it now.
Orochimaru looked at Sakura, with murderous intent in his eyes, and said in his heart: "No matter what, although I haven't figured out a way to escape yet, this body is worse than I thought." What’s more serious is that if I don’t stabilize it with drugs quickly, it will collapse soon, and I will have to change my body, so whether I can escape or not, I can’t delay it, I must fight quickly.”
"Since you can't hide and come out, I'll kill this genin first."
Orochimaru looked at Sakura calmly, he opened his mouth and made a hoarse voice.
"pocket."
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru." Kabuto nodded after hearing Orochimaru's words.
There was no need for too much communication. With the tacit understanding cultivated by Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi through years of cooperation in experiments, Kabuto understood what Orochimaru meant just from Orochimaru's tone of voice.
That is - kill Sakura.
