Chapter 143: A Fateful Encounter
Chapter 143: A Fateful Encounter
"Let's go"
Konohamaru's father yelled, and then he and his wife grabbed one of the pharmacist Nonou's hands and started running wildly.
Shisui no longer leads the way this time. He protects the three of them from any danger that may come at any time.
Pieces of large pieces of gravel rolled towards several people with the remnant power of the explosion. Shisui pulled out the rib blade behind him and waved it in mid-air.
The flames flew several meters away like sword energy, accurately hitting large pieces of gravel and shattering them.
This is the Fire Release Ninja Taijutsu developed by Shisui himself. Although it does not have the effect of the Kumo Ninja's Thunder Release Ninja Taijutsu to temper one's body to reach the level of his brother, it can have unexpected effects in battle.
After all, most fire escapes that require aiming at the seal are good arts.
The four of them were racing against death in the crumbling tunnel. At the entrance of the tunnel, the roar of the tailed beast and the noisy shouts of the Iwa ninjas could be heard faintly.
"Boom boom"
The sound of the tunnel collapsing behind them reminded them that they didn't have much time left.
On the ground beneath their feet, cracks had caught up with the four of them.
A burst of thick dust extinguished the torches in the hands of Konohamaru's parents, and they instantly lost their light source in the middle of the tunnel.
A small flame once again lit up the vision of the four people, and an unextinguished flame ignited on the ribs in Shisui's hand.
Konohamaru's father hurriedly handed over the extinguished torch in his hand to start the fire. The fire on the Shisui dagger was caused by his consumption of chakra. This thing cannot last long.
A road of less than a kilometer is not too far for a ninja, or even for ordinary people.
However, the cracked ground and the roaring and violent vibrations caused by the continuous collapse behind them made the four people present have their adrenal glands secrete at an accelerated rate.
At this moment, Konohamaru's father actually remembered the choice his father gave him after he graduated from the ninja school as a boy:
"Your talent and talent are much worse than when I was young.
Even among my three disciples, not to mention the genius of Orochimaru, and not to mention Jiraiya, who had a chance encounter practicing immortality in Mt. Myoboku since childhood, you are far inferior to Tsunade.
Do you choose to become an ordinary ninja in the village step by step, or do you
From now on, accept the painful training of old-style ninjas and become an Anbu under my leadership."
Unlike his rebellious brother Asuma, he has always been mature and chose to become his father's assistant. Since then, he has undergone several years of old-style ninja training that tests the physical and psychological limits of human beings.
Most of his more than 20 years of life have been spent in tedious and arduous training, because he knew that his father had always regretted that he did not have a good enough talent.
Just like, a genius like Orochimaru
Seeing that it was not far from the exit, light was already shining in along the exit of this tunnel.
A happy smile appeared on the young Shisui's face.
However, there was no smile on Yakushi Nonoyu's pale face.
Neither did Konohamaru's father's face.
Because with the help of light, they saw the things on the tunnel floor
Snake corpses.
In the face of natural disasters caused by man-made disasters such as landslides, the lives of humans and psychic beasts are equally fragile.
Rocks will not stop hitting you just because you are a snake channeled from Longdi Cave.
On the ground of the tunnel, colorful and highly venomous snakes, like the four people in Konoha, were rubbing the ground and moving quickly towards the exit of the tunnel.
"Watch out for these snakes"
Konohamaru's mother naturally noticed something fishy and reminded Shisui who wanted to speed up.
Zhisui naturally saw large and small snakes on the ground, but in his impression, even these snakes were artificially channeled.
Isn't its owner Orochimaru-sama, one of the Sannin of Konoha?
Shisui didn't know, but the other three adults knew very well.
Orochimaru was excluded from this plan to rescue the pharmacist Nonou.
Orochimaru's psychic beast appears here, which is definitely not good news to be thankful for for a few people.
Sure enough, when they were only a few dozen meters away from the tunnel exit, a tall and thin figure appeared in the field of vision of the four people.
Today, Orochimaru is not wearing the green vest uniform of Konoha, but the gray robe of the root ninja.
His long black hair was blown away in the breeze, and his narrow eyes looked at the people in the tunnel with a smile.
"Oh, not only the pharmacist Nonou, but also other acquaintances~"
Of course, Orochimaru was no stranger to the eldest son of Master Hiruzen.
"Sorry, you guys"
Konohamaru's father saw from a distance that Orochimaru stretched out a hand and bit his fingers, and his inner uneasiness turned into despair.
He asked loudly:
"Senior Orochimaru, what are you going to do?"
Orochimaru ignored his intention, dipped his fingertips in his own blood, formed a seal and pressed it on the ground:
"The art of psychic triple Rashomon"
Gates depicting the scene of hell were erected from the exit of the tunnel towards the inside. At this moment, the life of the four people in Konoha in the tunnel was completely extinguished.
"Hey I said"
Orochimaru's hands were still on the ground but a voice still came from behind him.
"You want to kill these Konoha guys who ran away from Iwagakure Village?"
The cruel smile on Orochimaru's face disappeared. He turned his head and stared at the visitor with his pair of light yellow vertical pupils.
This is a tall man, wearing a black robe with a red cloud pattern, half of his face is covered by the raised collar of the robe.
Kakuzu looked at the guy in front of him with a pair of green pupils and said:
"Get out of the way and clear out these things you channeled
Don't get in the way of my work"
The smile that had disappeared for a few seconds reappeared on Orochimaru's face, this time becoming playful.
He recognized the uniform on the guy in front of him. Since he chose to cooperate with Danzo, most of the information in the roots of Konoha has been unconditionally open to him.
This is the organization founded by Jiraiya's three dead disciples in the Land of Rain.
Are there any remaining parties?
"What if I refuse"
Kakuzu heard Orochimaru's words and took out his accounting book from his arms.
The tasks given to him by the big benefactor Luo Sha were divided into four levels: S, A, B, and C according to the money level.
There is currently only one S-level mission:
Kill or capture alive Orochimaru, one of the Sannin of Konoha.
Mission reward: Starting from ten gold coins, there will be additional if captured alive.
Kakuzu raised his head and looked at Orochimaru who was not far away.
In his eyes, this is not a person.
Is this a piece of gold that can walk on its own?
