The two of them walked along the deserted mountain road for an unknown length of time, passing through a withered yellow woodland, and the outlines of several low buildings were vaguely visible in front of them.
That is another experimental base of Orochimaru.
However, before they could get closer, dozens of figures emerged from the surrounding trees.
Wandering ninjas wearing different clothes and weapons came from all directions, surrounding Ning Xue and Sasuke.
Ning Xue paused and glanced sideways at Sasuke.
Sasuke's face was expressionless, as if the person surrounded was not him.
Ning Xue withdrew his gaze and glanced around at the faces with different expressions.
Some are angry, some are fearful, some are greedy, and some are an inexplicable fanaticism.
Then he spoke, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Why does that kind of scum have so many loyal subordinates?"
Sasuke Hearing this, he just shook his head and said calmly.
"Orochimaru That reptile is very good at deceiving people."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bald man with a scar on his face in the crowd took a step forward, pointing the giant ax in his hand at Sasuke, his voice was hoarse and angry.
"Sasuke! Lord Orochimaru treats you well! How dare you betray him!"
"Betrayal?"
Sasuke's lips curved into a sarcastic arc.
"I have never been loyal, how can I betray you?"
"Cut the nonsense!"
Another man holding a chain yelled.
"You killed Lord Orochimaru. Don't even think about leaving here alive today!"
"Just you?"
Sasuke's eyes swept over that person and then over the surrounding figures, speaking in an understatement.
"Orochimaru is dead, you still want to avenge him?"
The bald man gritted his teeth and roared.
"Lord Orochimaru is kind to us! Even if I die today, I will support you!"
Ning Xue Looking at those faces that were flushed with anger or fear, an indescribable complexity surged in my heart.
He thought of the pile of corpses in the cellar and the people who were used as experimental materials.
Those ordinary people who were taken away once relied on their families and had hope for life.
But what about them? They were not wrong, but they were kidnapped by this group of blind worshipers.
For a guy like Orochimaru who abandons humanity, the "favor" in their mouth may just be a random favor given by that guy.
But these favors were regarded as salvation by this group of desperate people.
Ning Xue lowered his eyes and sighed softly.
"Stop talking nonsense, solve it quickly, and get on your way."
Sasuke glanced at him and said nothing. He just raised his hand, his fingers slightly bent, and blue arcs of electricity jumped on his fingertips, making a harsh bird call.
"Chidori Current."
Lightning exploded from his palm, turning into countless fine arcs of electricity that spread in all directions.
Those who gathered around him didn't even have time to react before they were struck by lightning and their bodies twitched violently and fell down.
Some screamed, some groaned, and some passed out.
But some people reacted faster and rushed forward with gritted teeth. The bald man raised his giant ax and struck Sasuke hard on the head.
Sasuke sidestepped and kicked him in the chest. The sound of broken bones was clearly audible.
The man's body flew backwards and broke two dead trees behind him before he came to a halt.
The man holding the chain came around behind Ning Xue, and the chain wrapped around his neck like a snake.
Ning Xue didn't even look back, just turned slightly sideways, and the chain brushed against his shoulder.
He reached out and grabbed the end of the chain and yanked hard. The man stumbled forward and was knocked unconscious by his palm.
Several more people rushed towards me from the side.
Ning Xue swayed through the crowd, hitting the vital point accurately with every shot.
There are no superfluous moves and no wasted effort.
In less than a minute, there was no one standing around anymore. Various bodies fell to the ground, and moans came one after another.
Ning Xue patted the dust on his body, glanced at the struggling figures, and turned around.
"Let's go."
Sasuke nodded, passed over the fallen bodies, and continued walking forward.
Behind him, the bald man was lying in the dead leaves. He raised his head with difficulty and looked at the two retreating figures. His lips were trembling and he finally said nothing.
He could only watch as they disappeared on the path in the forest.
"Damn it!"
(Let me drink some water. I've run out of inspiration and it's a bit messy. Let me sort it out. Orochimaru. This is considered premature death. Do you want Lao Ma to live?)
