Storm Release: Chidori Current!

In fact.

Everything went exactly as Black Zetsu had predicted.

Although Shirou Emiya impersonated Orochimaru and tricked Anko Mitarashi, he revealed too many flaws, to the point that even Anko Mitarashi couldn't stand it anymore.

Where did this petty thief come from?

He can't even remember the way to Konoha!

"That's a dead end."

Anko Mitarashi rolled her eyes listlessly and glared at the person in front of her who was impersonating Orochimaru and teasing her. "Orochimaru- sensei, this is the way out of the village."

"Is that so?"

Orochimaru's voice seemed somewhat confused before he tried to explain, "I really didn't expect Konoha to have changed so much over the years."

"Yes."

Anko Mitarashi nodded silently, her tongue unconsciously licking the sugar stains from the corner of her mouth, intending to give this little rascal who had tricked her a cruel death.

"If you're thirsty, you can have a glass of sugarcane juice."

Orochimaru handed the unopened sugarcane juice to Anko Mitarashi, looking like a kind teacher.

"Thank you very much, Orochimaru- sensei~"

A dangerous smile appeared on Anko Mitarashi's face.

This guy—

The impersonation is so half-hearted!

As Orochimaru's disciple, when she was still a girl, Orochimaru would buy her desserts, but he would always buy her the best Anko.

Sugarcane juice is something like that.

Actually, it was Tsunade, Orochimaru's Tsunade, who liked him.

However, Orochimaru never misjudged what his disciples and teammates liked to drink; he was always so attentive.

Although Anko Mitarashi was furious about her teacher's defection, she had to admit that her teacher was very good at deceiving people's feelings at times, making people always feel safe when they were with him.

This petty thief impersonating Orochimaru...

How dare you deceive her when you don't even know your own hobbies?!

The wind rustles through the forest.

The tall trees stood tall in the wind.

Only the dense leaves rustled in the wind.

The path that Anko Mitarashi pointed out did indeed lead out of the village, but it passed through a dense forest, and few people came here.

"Who exactly are you?"

Anko Mitarashi suddenly stopped, her voice icy as she questioned, "Orochimaru isn't as naive as you—"

"What's the meaning?"

Orochimaru turned around in surprise, as if he couldn't believe he had made a mistake. He then saw that Anko Mitarashi had already grabbed the Kunai and seemed ready to attack at any moment.

He couldn't help but sigh.

"When did you see through it?"

"From the very beginning."

Anko Mitarashi Kunai, a sweet smile spreading across her lips, "Actually, your Transformation Technique is excellent; I couldn't see a single flaw. But I'm Orochimaru's disciple, and I know everything about him—"

This understanding—

It was something that made her both happy and painful.

Because she knew Orochimaru's little habits very well, she was once delighted that she and her teacher would definitely have a great understanding; only after Orochimaru defected did she painfully discover that her life was full of traces left by Orochimaru.

"At least one thing—"

"Orochimaru wouldn't mistake the roads in the village."

Anko Mitarashi let out a cold laugh, then her attitude suddenly turned stern. "Who exactly are you? Why are you impersonating Orochimaru! What is your purpose?!"

Orochimaru fell silent immediately.

Young Master Cai Zai Zuo+

Black Zetsu was already familiar with Shirou Emiya's behavior, couldn't help but sigh softly, "See? This is the kind of concealment that Wei Yuan thinks he's learned. He always thinks that remaining silent in situations like this is the way a ninja conceals things—."

"Fortunately-.."

"The other party is unaware of Lord Shirou's identity."

White Zetsu couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy, and replied softly, "Otherwise, why do I always feel that this silence is a form of acquiescence—"

The next moment.

Orochimaru finally spoke.

He even spoke the absolute truth.

I can't tell you too much.

"I just need you as a hostage."

"Because I need to use the Orochimaru Curse Mark on your body."

"Look."

The hiding Black Zetsu seemed to have found an opportunity to attack Shirou Emiya, and quickly took the opportunity to whisper in secret, "Once he doesn't know what to say, he starts to tell the truth."

The hiding White Zetsu.

"The Curse Mark —so it was meant to kidnap me?"

Anko Mitarashi narrowed her eyes and reached out to touch her neck, where Orochimaru had once placed Curse Mark on her.

However, Orochimaru erased all her memories of receiving the Curse Mark, including the time and place of that period. Even after her return, she continued to suffer from the pain of the Curse Mark. The Third Hokage discovered the evil nature of the Curse Mark and sealed it away completely, freeing her from the pain it Curse Mark.

"It seems there's no time to discuss it."

Orochimaru seemed to notice Kakashi Hatake following them, a determined glint flashing in his cold, vertical pupils. "There's been someone following us. I need to get you out of there as soon as possible to prevent more people from finding out—"

The next moment!

Orochimaru charged forward!

"Then let me capture you and interrogate you myself!"

Anko Mitarashi sneered, her trench coat fluttering in the wind, her ample bosom trembling slightly beneath her tight fishnet top, and her short skirt did nothing to hinder her rapid movement!

This woman's movements were incredibly fast!

Anko Mitarashi's sharp Kunai traced a dangerous arc, a mark of Orochi Style Swordsmanship!

Even though Anko Mitarashi isn't skilled in swordsmanship, her fighting style still tends to develop in the quirky and unpredictable direction left by Orochimaru!

"So weak."

Orochimaru's voice seemed to be filled with confusion again. He slightly turned his body to dodge the Kunai, and his palm was already on the woman's wrist!

!!

A look of surprise flashed across Anko Mitarashi's face!

However, before she could get away, she felt a sharp pain in her wrist, Kunai involuntarily slipped from her hand and fell directly into the other person's hand!

He lost his weapon in just one round!

There wasn't even time to form any hand seals to release the Hand Seals!

As Anko Mitarashi leaped to retreat, her opponent already held a cold, sharp Kunai to her neck, signifying her defeat in the battle!

"So competitive."

Anko Mitarashi's entire body seemed to be instantly drenched in cold sweat.

Anko Mitarashi had never encountered such a terrifying close-quarters ninja combat. Her opponent's speed was so fast that she couldn't keep up at all. She was easily subdued before she could react. This simple-minded guy actually possessed such terrifying strength!

"I need to borrow your Kunai for a moment, is that alright?"

Orochimaru stopped looking at Anko Mitarashi, whom he had subdued, and didn't wait for her to answer him. His gaze fell on the place where someone was hiding in the distance.

"Come out."

"I sensed your presence a long time ago."

The young ninja with silver-white hair finally realized he had been discovered, and he stopped hiding.

He slowly stepped forward, raising his hands.

"Kakashi?"

Anko Mitarashi calls her by her given name.

Although Anko Mitarashi was raised by Orochimaru, she has always been an impolite person and has never been very respectful to her seniors.

"It's me."

"I never expected to get involved in such a strange kidnapping case."

Kakashi Hatake seemed somewhat relaxed. He raised his Ninja Headband Kakashi Hatake, revealing his Sharingan, which he usually kept hidden, and then subtly began to clasp his hands together in a strange gesture.

While making noise to attract the attention of this "Orochimaru".

Orochimaru, let go of Anko.

While gathering his Kakashi Hatake, Chakra casually said, "There's no need to take hostages in front of a defeated opponent like me, is there?"

"Kakashi, he's not Orochimaru!"

Anko Mitarashi quickly exposed Orochimaru's true identity. "He's just an imposter pretending to be Orochimaru!"

"Then who is he?"

Kakashi Hatake was somewhat distracted by what Anko Mitarashi had said.

"I haven't asked yet!"

Anko Mitarashi replied confidently, completely ignoring the fact that she was a hostage, and seemingly unconcerned about the Kunai around her neck.

"Your name is Anko?"

This guy named Orochimaru seemed to only just realize that Anko Mitarashi was a real person. It looks like he really is just someone impersonating Orochimaru to infiltrate Konoha.

"Hey, hey, hey, you bastard—"

Anko Mitarashi's face darkened, as if she could no longer tolerate the imposter's behavior. "Trying to kidnap your target and you don't even know my name?"

As a ninja, Anko Mitarashi was not a very cautious person, and she never expected that this petty thief would be even less cautious than her!

What is all this?!

I don't even know her name!

They even managed to kidnap her with pinpoint accuracy!

"So, who exactly are you, sir?"

A thin layer of sweat slowly appeared on Kakashi Hatake's forehead. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was about to continue the casual conversation, "To infiltrate Konoha so openly and kidnap Konoha ninja, they don't seem like ordinary people—"

"Don't ask me who I am anymore."

"So that I don't accidentally say it, which wouldn't be good for either of us."

Orochimaru's expression turned cold as he stated his conditions. "You can leave now, and I promise I won't harm this girl named Anko—."

"That would be perfect."

Kakashi Hatake nodded, seemingly intending to agree.

However·

The next moment!

A great light shone brightly as Kakashi Hatake clasped his hands together!

"Storm Release: Chidori Current!"

Arcs of electricity pulsed violently in his palm, tracing chaotic arcs in the air!

The trajectories of these lightning arcs were unpredictable, constantly turning and swirling in the air like flowing water. However, under Kakashi Hatake's control, they bypassed Anko Mitarashi, who was being held hostage, and flew straight towards the kidnappers behind them!

Lightning arcs travel very fast!

This is a Storm Release technique that allows you to attack enemies by bypassing hostages before they can react. It is often used by Kakashi Hatake to ambush enemies hiding behind trees!

To put it bluntly, this Storm Release technique is even more practical than his favorite Lightning Release: Chidori!

Especially with the Sharingan's dynamic vision capture, the power of Storm Release: Chidori Current can hit the target more accurately, which is why Kakashi Hatake revealed his Sharingan ahead of time!

The hostage rescue tactic was a success!
