The forest was in a mess at this time. Orochimaru and the ninja who looked to be in his forties were facing each other.
Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice, "A ninja of your level shouldn't be a nobody. Why have I never heard of you?"
The ninja had messy hair and a scar under his left eye.
He looked stern and did not answer Orochimaru's words.
Several years of hard work had been destroyed in this way, and he was in a terrible mood at this time.
But fortunately, killing the boy in front of me would be enough to make up for the loss.
After all, this person is Third Hokage's beloved disciple.
He quickly Hand Seals, "Water Style: Water Trumpet." With a bang, Water Release rushed over.
Orochimaru Hands Hand Seals, "Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall"
The dense water poured over like crazy. Then it hit the wall.
A few seconds later, there was a bang on the wall behind Orochimaru, and a circle with a diameter of one meter appeared on the wall.
The next moment, Orochimaru suddenly turned around,
He pointed his arm at the cracked wall.
Waiting for the other party to break it directly. Then everything went quiet.
The wind whistled softly through the air.
Orochimaru His heart condensed slightly.
After a moment, a small Wind Blade cut in. The wall exploded with a bang, and the rocks flew out with huge momentum.
Orochimaru jumped to the side.
"Ninja Art: Ash Pile"
Suddenly, a large amount of dust poured in from the ninja's mouth.
In an instant, the entire line of sight was blocked, and even breathing was affected.
Orochimaru closed his eyes, and the snake's infrared rays allowed him to easily capture the opponent's movements.
But the other party didn't know this. He thought Orochimaru couldn't see the things around him at all.
Then he immediately rushed over and said, "Go to hell."
Bang - bang - in the dust, Orochimaru dodged the opponent's fist.
The ninja kicked Orochimaru with a fierce sideways kick.
Orochimaru On one side of his body, he blocked it with his arms, and both parties immediately took two steps back.
Then dust came in from all directions, again obscuring vision, and the wind disturbed hearing.
In a moment, there were more than ten consecutive attacks, and the opponent's attacks were all blocked by Orochimaru.
Suddenly, Orochimaru waved his hand, and the ninja's chest was grabbed by him.
The next moment, the ninja's eyes were spinning.
With a bang, almost the entire wall that had been broken at the back was broken open.
Orochimaru dragged the opponent's body and hit it hard.
The leg whip was like electricity, and with Orochimaru's flying kick, it hit the opponent's lower abdomen hard.
"Uh..."
With a pop, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and then his body was kicked out by Orochimaru.
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet"
Orochimaru Hand Seals immediately. A huge Earth Dragon rushed away.
I saw the man holding his hands on the ground. On the ground, dozens of Explosive Tag were immediately erected and stuck to Earth Dragon.
Then there was a huge explosion. Earth Dragon was blown to pieces.
When the smoke cleared and Orochimaru looked again, the man had disappeared.
Orochimaru stood there for a while without pursuing him. The Explosive Tag on the ground was obviously placed by the other party in advance.
I wonder how many such traps there are on the road. He didn't want to be blown to death by Explosive Tag without any reason.
So he immediately turned back.
When he returned to Rogue Town, his Earth Clone and Uchiha Chen were already waiting for him.
"Teacher Orochimaru, have you caught the other party?" Uchiha Chen asked.
Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Chen with his golden eyes and shook his head, "Let him run away."
Nawaki hugged his chest with his hands and comforted Orochimaru, "It's okay, the horse stumbled. Even I fail sometimes, don't be discouraged."
"..."
Orochimaru ignored him and led them to a cellar.
"This is where the leader hid the looted property. Let's go in and take inventory."
Walking into the cellar, Uchiha Chen wiped his eyes.
Seeing such gleaming gold nuggets, silver bars and various other valuable porcelain and antiques in front of him, Uchiha Chen swallowed hard.
He had never seen so much money.
"You're not dreaming, are you?" Then, he slapped Nawaki hard on the face.
"..."
Looking at Nawaki's painful expression, Uchiha Chen nodded.
"It doesn't look like a dream."
"Uchiha Chen, why did you hit me!" Nawaki pointed at Uchiha Chen.
"I saw these things and I was so stressed that I couldn't control my hands. I needed to calm down."
Then Uchiha Chen turned around and hugged Mikoto, "Great, Mikoto. These are the spoils of our mission, and we are now rich people. We are going to enter the upper class!"
"... It seems necessary to let you know who is the most powerful person in Konoha." Orochimaru's hoarse voice came from behind.
"Teacher Orochimaru, there is a room full of stolen goods, why don't you take a closer look?" Uchiha Chen walked up to Orochimaru and showed a shy smile.
"It will be shipped to Konoha in two days, what a pity!" Uchiha Chen showed a toothache expression.
"Yes, I know. I am responsible for transporting these things." Orochimaru said calmly.
"Teacher, you still don't understand what I mean." Uchiha Chen shook his butt.
"These things are all turned over to Konoha. Konoha built buildings and hospitals, but what does this have to do with us! This is equivalent to Third Hokage Old Man taking the spoils of our mission to bribe Konoha's ninjas."
Seeing Orochimaru's expressionless face, Uchiha Chen said anxiously, "Hey! You still don't understand what I mean."
"Look at Konoha now being the richest among Five Great Nations. And we are still poor. Do we need to solve our personal problems before considering the village?"
"These precious things should be collected by the right people! What do those politicians know? They don't have the same taste as us." Uchiha Chen said.
Orochimaru remained expressionless.
"Also, teacher, you see I have already visited. There are really a lot of good things here. Especially among them there is Scroll with a Forbidden Jutsu above it."
Orochimaru's eyes lit up.
Uchiha Chen continued, "I have already taken it out, and no one else will know about it. Look, how about I hand it over to you with my own hands."
Orochimaru hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Chen, recently I have been thinking about applying for you to become Jonin. But you are just a student of the Ninja Academy."
"So, I can compensate you in other ways. You can also go and see if there is anything you particularly want to collect. Go ahead." Orochimaru patted Uchiha Chen on the shoulder.
Uchiha Chen immediately said seriously, "Thank you teacher for your cultivation."
Uchiha Chen immediately turned around to find some precious loot.
Orochimaru also began to search around for Scroll. By the way, I also want to supplement my own research funds.
He suddenly saw a copy of Scroll on the table. Then he picked it up and looked at it.
Then his face turned serious.
The surrounding air pressure suddenly became a little low.
"What's wrong, teacher?"
"Something happened."
