Orochimaru's Grave Expression

The moment the Ki Blast took shape, Naruto sensed the power contained within Ki Blast, and then his brow furrowed slightly.

"The power is a bit too much. Those guard ninjas can't withstand it. If it's thrown over there, they're finished."

Naruto significantly reduced the power of the Ki Blast, then flew into the air and casually tossed it downwards.

After doing all this, Naruto flew straight to the Central Tower to go play with Hinata.

Below.

In the lush jungle.

The Third Hokage's guards were climbing the trees, preparing to investigate the terrifying sound coming from afar, when at that moment...

A white orb of light fell from the sky, landing on the spot where they stood as they dodged.

Boom!

A tremendous roar echoed through the sky, and a terrifying gust of wind howled wildly, throwing all the advancing ninjas directly into the air in the sudden explosion.

At the critical moment, the captain hurriedly used Ninjutsu to defend, but even so, they still looked disheveled and rolled on the ground.

After everything calmed down, the ninjas looked at the large crater in front of them with solemn expressions, unable to believe it was real.

"What a powerful explosion! What was that just now?" the vice-captain said gravely, carefully observing the surroundings, but he couldn't see any enemies.

"I don't know. Luckily, the captain intervened in time, otherwise we would have been in serious trouble. Wait, where's the captain?"

"I... I'm here."

A weak voice came from afar. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that their captain was leaning against a big tree, his buttocks embedded in the tree.

"Team leader!"

The other ninjas, seeing this, rushed to their captain's side to help.

"No... don't move, it's pinching my flesh, it hurts so much, don't move, please don't move!" The captain gasped as he was pulled, his face contorted in pain.

"Captain, don't be afraid, watch this." The vice-captain drew his long sword and swung it fiercely at the tree.

Swish, swish, swish!

The long sword flashed with a cold light, swiftly severing the tree trunk and rescuing the captain from inside.

But seeing their captain clutching his buttocks, wincing in pain, the ninjas Central City with a strange expression.

The main problem was the captain's disheveled appearance; his buttocks were slightly sticking out, and he was covering his buttocks with his right hand, making the scene truly hilarious.

Everyone wanted to laugh at the scene, but they were grateful for their captain's protection, so they held back their laughter even when they saw it.

"It hurts so much! What happened? Where are the enemies?" the captain asked anxiously.

"I just looked around carefully and didn't find any enemies, which is very strange," the vice-captain replied with a tense expression.

"No enemy detected? Let me hear it."

The captain was an extremely skilled auditory ninja, and he immediately pricked up his ears to listen, but after listening around, he couldn't hear anything unusual.

"Strange, we haven't found any enemies nearby. What was that attack just now? Go and check the surrounding area," the captain ordered.

"It's the captain!"

The ninjas searched quickly, but after a long time they still couldn't find the enemy, which was very strange.

"Strange thing."

The ninja captain felt something was off, but the mission location still needed to be investigated, so he considered for a moment and said, "Let's go, continue on to the mission location."

The captain was about to take action after he finished speaking, but his buttocks hurt so much that he grimaced in pain after only a few steps, and even his gait was strange.

Puff!

Ha ha ha ha!

No one knows who laughed first, but in an instant all the ninjas laughed, and the whole scene was filled with laughter.

"What are you laughing at? Get moving!" The captain glared angrily.

"It's Captain, we weren't laughing at you, we just couldn't help it."

"You have to endure it, even if you can't help it, and get going." The captain's face darkened, and he looked terrible.

"It's the captain."

Everyone suppressed their laughter and tried their best to move forward, but they were all feeling uncomfortable holding it in. This scene made the captain even more frustrated.

Rear.

Orochimaru was also following, but he couldn't figure out who had launched the attack on the Hokage's guards, which puzzled him greatly.

"Strange, who attacked the Third Hokage Elder's guards? Could it be related to the loud noise earlier? Was it an enemy of the Third Hokage Elder?"

Orochimaru was confused, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so Orochimaru decided to go and see what was going on.

Therefore.

He went with the Third Hokage's guards to investigate the terrifying roar, and this trip took a very long time.

Outside the Central Tower, inside a cave.

Kabuto Yakushi was sitting here waiting. Since the preliminary rounds were over, he was preparing to report some information to Orochimaru before returning to Konoha to continue his covert operations.

However, Orochimaru never returned, even after he had waited for so long.

"Strange, why hasn't Lord Orochimaru returned for so long? Could something have happened?" Kabuto Yakushi muttered to himself, but then shook his head, feeling it was unlikely.

Orochimaru's terrifying strength was not just talk; he was one of the legendary Legendary Sannin, a super strongman who struck fear into the hearts of countless people.

How could someone like that possibly get into trouble so easily? So Kabuto Yakushi shook his head, secretly lamenting his overreaction.

Whoosh!

A sudden sound of wind breaking came, and then Orochimaru appeared in front of Kabuto Yakushi.

Orochimaru's expression was extremely grim, and even his gaze was grave, as if he had encountered a very difficult problem.

"Lord Orochimaru, what's wrong?" Kabuto Yakushi asked anxiously, while trying to figure out what could have caused the powerful Lord Orochimaru to look so pale.

"Something's happened. An unknown powerful figure has appeared in the Forest of Death," Orochimaru said solemnly.

"An unknown powerhouse? Could he be even stronger than you?" Kabuto Yakushi exclaimed in surprise. He knew how terrifying Orochimaru was; there weren't many people in the world who could make Orochimaru so serious.

"Yes, he's stronger than me, possibly several times stronger."

"What?!"

Kabuto Yakushi was shocked, staring at Orochimaru in disbelief. Even the arrogant Orochimaru admitted he was inferior to this opponent; just how strong must the opponent be?

However, glancing at Orochimaru's clean clothes, he asked with a hint of doubt, "You didn't fight that powerful figure?"

"No, you'll find out if you go to the east side of the Forest of Death. Remember, don't reveal yourself. Be careful these next few days. The Chunin Ninja Exams raid mission is suspended for now."

After Orochimaru finished speaking, his brows furrowed, and he quickly vanished.

Only Kabuto Yakushi remained, bowing respectfully. After a moment, he said with a hint of doubt, "I'd like to see what kind of being can make Lord Orochimaru change."

Kabuto Yakushi glanced in the direction of the eastern part of the Forest of Death and rushed out without hesitation.

On the other side, Central Tower.

Originally, the Third Hokage was preparing to return to Konoha with the examinees after the exams ended, but upon hearing the report from his returning subordinates, his expression immediately turned serious.

He asked in shock, "Are you sure? Is it really that terrible?"

"Yes, Lord Hokage, it was terrifying." The ninja captain said, still feeling lingering fear as he recalled the scene he had just witnessed.

"Let's go, I'll go and see for myself."

The Third Hokage gave the order and then left in a grand procession with a large number of ninjas.

Only Kakashi, Might Guy, and other Jonin, while a large number of examinees remained, filled with doubt.

They were all very curious, wondering what could have made the Third Hokage so serious that he would personally go to investigate.

"Sasuke, what do you think happened? The Third Hokage looks so serious. I have a feeling something big has happened," Sakura said worriedly.

"I don't know, but things are definitely not simple."

Sasuke shook his head and noticed that most people around him had a solemn expression, but there was one exception: Naruto.

He noticed that Naruto showed no signs of seriousness; instead, he was chatting intimately with Hinata, and even put his arm around Hinata's slender waist in front of many people.

Such composure is something many people cannot achieve, and it made Sasuke clench his fist secretly.

"Not only is your strength superior to mine, but your composure is also remarkable. Naruto, you've grown too fast. I need even greater strength."

Sasuke clenched his fist as he spoke, reaching out to touch the Curse Mark on his shoulder. Thinking of what that person had said after appearing last night, his resolve wavered more and more.
