Late at night, in the forest outside Konoha.
The moonlight was cut into broken silver shavings by the dense tree canopy, and sprinkled on the moist humus soil in the forest. Four figures were like ghosts, traveling at high speed among the shadows of the trees, falling to the ground silently.
Sound Ninja Four, Orochimaru are proud chess pieces, each of them exudes unknown and powerful chakra fluctuations.
"Konoha's defense is still so lax, just like in his own backyard." Jirobo muttered in a low voice, his body is fat but extremely flexible.
"Shut up, idiot." Tayuya's voice was sharp and mean, "Don't forget our mission, make a quick decision, find Sasuke Uchiha, and then retreat."
Sakon and Ukon shared the same body, with a weird smile on their faces and remained silent. Kidomaru hung upside down on the branch like a spider, with six arms skillfully pushing aside the vines blocking the way, and several eyes scanning the surroundings at the same time.
They were full of confidence in their proud stealth abilities. However, they did not know that from the moment they stepped into the border of this forest, an invisible net had quietly tightened.
Buried underground, the miniature perception barrier developed by Root technicians created a ripple that was imperceptible to the naked eye when they passed by.
The alarm did not ring through the village.
Instead, there were several silent signals, which were instantly transmitted to the "Schola Progenium" training ground next to Forest of Death.
In the college dormitory, ten students who were undergoing meditation training opened their eyes almost at the same time. There was no confusion in their eyes that they had just woken up, only a cold silence. Root Jonin, a person on duty, made a gesture.
"Target four people, position G-7, 'mouse-catching' plan initiated."
There were no unnecessary words. The ten students stood up and moved in unison, like the reflection of one person. They took out their immaculately maintained standard Bolter from the hidden compartment under the bed, checked the magazine, and pulled the bolt. A series of actions were completed in less than thirty seconds.
Three minutes later, they had arrived at the preset ambush point in the forest. Ten people and ten guns were spread out in a fan shape, hidden behind shrubs and tree trunks. The muzzles of the guns were black, like a ferocious beast that only chooses people to devour, quietly waiting for its prey to step into the trap.
Sound Ninja Four continues to deepen.
"Huh?" Kidomaru suddenly stopped and narrowed his eyes, "There's something wrong."
"What's wrong, coward." Tayuya sneered.
But the next second, a strong murderous aura surged from all directions, like a sudden rising tide of sea water, drowning them in an instant.
"There is an ambush!" Jirobo reacted the fastest and slammed his hands on the ground, "Earth Release·Earth Prison Dome!"
Thick earth walls rose from the ground, trying to imprison the four of them and their enemies into an indestructible cage.
However, what responded to him was not the collision of ninjutsu, but an unprecedented terrifying roar that tore the night sky apart.
"Bang bang bang bang bang--!"
The overwhelming rain of bullets came in an instant. The roar of Bolter completely broke the tranquility of the forest. The special projectiles made by Chakra Metal, packed with violent kinetic energy, slammed into the newly raised earth wall.
In the first round of volleys, the solid earth wall was covered with spider web-like cracks.
Before Jirobo could inject more chakra reinforcement, the second salvo followed.
"Boom--!"
The earthen wall exploded with an explosion, and countless rubble mixed with soil flew in all directions.
"Damn it!" Tayuya's face changed drastically, and he immediately put the magic flute in his hand to his mouth, and the sharp flute sounded, trying to use sound waves Genjutsu to control the opponent's mind.
But her plan failed again. The continuous violent explosions and the screams caused by the projectiles tearing the air were like hundreds of drums beating in the ears at the same time, seriously interfering with the propagation of sound waves. The flute sound became intermittent and had no tune, and the effect of Genjutsu was reduced to a minimum.
Sakon/Ukon and Kidomaru tried to rush out of the fire net by relying on speed, but as soon as they moved, the dense rain of bullets accurately blocked all their forward routes. The bullets hit the ground at their feet, stirring up a series of mud and sparks. The speed and weird movement skills they were proud of became meaningless in the face of this unreasonable saturation attack.
"Asshole! Are there any normal people in Konoha?" Tayuya roared. She had never been so aggrieved. They were the elites of Lord Orochimaru, but they were suppressed by a group of guys who could not even see each other, using such "despicable" long-range weapons.
In her opinion, this is not a battle between ninjas at all, it is an eagle catching a chicken.
The ambushing students had no response to her roar. They didn't even show the slightest emotion. After emptying a magazine, they used standard textbook-like tactical moves to remove the empty magazine, replace it with a new one, and raise the gun again. The cold muzzle was their only answer.
Seeing that he was about to be consumed alive by this endless firepower, Sound Four's eyes flashed with fierceness, and he was ready to use Curse Mark State Two to fight to the death at all costs.
At this moment, the suffocating firepower network suddenly stopped.
The forest fell into dead silence again, with only the smell of gunpowder smoke filling the air.
Ta, da, da...
Clear footsteps came from the shadows deep in the woods.
A figure walked out slowly, and the moonlight illuminated his young and indifferent face. Sasuke Uchiha.
He was holding a gun in his hand, a gun that was completely different from those standard weapons. Its shape was more ferocious, the gun body was longer, and it was covered with complex blue chakra circuits, like the blood vessels of a living creature, and it was emitting faint electric light.
"Sasuke-kun!" When Tayuya saw Sasuke, he seemed to have seen a savior and immediately shouted loudly, "Come with us quickly! Lord Orochimaru can give you real power! The power of revenge!"
She pointed at the enemies hiding in the dark around her, her tone full of disdain and temptation. "Stop hanging out with these guys who only play with children's toys! This kind of thing cannot satisfy your Uchiha taste!"
Sasuke's gaze swept across the four people in a state of confusion, his eyes as cold as looking at a few stones. His Sharingan had been turned on at some point, and two Tomoe were slowly rotating in his eye sockets.
He spoke, his voice not loud, but with a kind of extreme contempt, which clearly reached everyone's ears.
"Power?"
Sasuke sneered, as if he had heard the funniest joke of this century.
"Orochimaru A thing that hides in Tibet and relies on forbidden arts and other people's bodies to survive, is it worthy of being called power?"
He raised his eyes, and the astonished faces of the four people were reflected in his dark pupils.
"You know nothing about true power."
Before he finished speaking, Sasuke raised the special Bolter in his hand.
Tayuya didn't even see his movements clearly.
A blue electric light, several times faster than all previous projectiles, flashed from the muzzle of the gun.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound.
Tayuya only felt the tiger's mouth shake violently, and a huge force that no one could resist came. The magic flute in her hand was instantly blown into pieces flying in the sky. Her palms were dripping with blood, and she was stunned. She stared blankly at her empty right hand.
What just happened?
She didn't react at all.
Sasuke slowly put down the gun, and a wisp of green smoke curled up from the heat sink at the muzzle.
He looked at the horrified Sound Ninja Four as if he were looking at a group of primitive people from the barbaric era.
