Chapter 16 Nightfall(1/2)
The sun sets and night falls.
Fortunately, there is no clouds in the sky and the moon is brilliant. Even if it is already night, it is not very dark.
"Bang~~~!!!"
The big tree was uprooted and then dropped heavily to the ground, and the hills under its feet were shaking.
Toads as big as a hill and snakes face each other east and west, from afar. With the moonlight, you can see the hideous wounds on each other's bodies. The air in the mountains and forests was filled with a strong smell of blood, attracting countless insects and flies to fly.
The atmosphere was tragic.
Just like a battlefield.
"Jiraiya, you... can't keep me."
Standing above the python's head, Orochimaru smiled, his breathing was a little faster than before.
He has used two original stand-in techniques.
Once, Jiraiya was cut off by her hair in the waist, and she almost caught her head by that guy Jiraiya. Of course, Jiraiya was not feeling well. She was pierced by the Kusanagi sword and even the toad under his feet almost skinned the Kusanagi sword.
The second time was that Jiraiya was trapped. Unexpectedly, Jiraiya sacrificed an arm and burned half of her body and half of her face in a fire. Although Jiraiya's left arm was broken into several pieces by him, he almost pulled it off.
Two squadron techniques that consumed huge amounts of chakra, coupled with this fierce battle that had lasted for more than an hour, Orochimaru could clearly feel his chakra that was about to run out.
However, the opponent is probably similar to him.
"This is not necessarily! This is not necessarily..."
Jiraiya's voice drifted with the night wind.
It sounds a little weak and weak.
But extremely firm.
Amid the repeated murmurings, Jiraiya's chakra fluctuations suddenly increased exponentially, just like the rising moon in the night sky at this moment, which was eye-catching and even if you wanted to ignore it, you could not do it.
"Jiraiya!"
This incident happened unexpectedly.
Orochimaru's eyebrows were raised, the smile on his face froze, and the clouds were entrenched on his eyebrows.
From the beginning, he was wary of Jiraiya's use of magic. As an old friend who knows the truth, he knew that Jiraiya's use of magic is not something that can be done by snapping his fingers, and it takes a long time to prepare. Therefore, he deliberately stepped into Jiraiya's trap again and again, so that he did not give Jiraiya the opportunity to use magic.
In fact, he did succeed. After more than an hour of fierce battle, Jiraiya never found an opportunity to use his magic.
When he broke Jiraiya's arm, he completely let go. If he could not make a seal, it would naturally be impossible to use the magic.
However... things did not develop as Orochimaru had imagined.
"When will the shadow clone be hidden?"
Orochimaru's neck stretched out like a long snake, poked his head out, and saw clearly the situation on the head of the big toad opposite. Jiraiya's original deity and his clone who had hidden early completed the seal together, summoned two toad immortals from Miaomu Mountain, one on the left and the other on the right side of Jiraiya's shoulders.
"Boy, what's wrong? Isn't your ninja war all over? Really, I'm washing dishes!"
Squatting on Jiraiya's left shoulder was a small green-skinned toad with purple hair and purple lips. She chattered like a housewife and complained about Jirai's inappropriate call.
"Well! Old woman, forget it! Xiao Zilai must have his reason to do this."
On the other side, Jiraiya was also squatting on his right shoulder, his beards and eyebrows were all white, and he spoke to Jiraiya for his words.
"Children's dad, shut up!"
Jiraiya smiled bitterly as he heard the couple quarrel in his ear.
"Sorry, boss, sister, please ask you for help at this time."
The two toads are a couple from Miumu Mountain Hidden. Shenzuo Xianren and Zhima Xianren are elder-level trustworthy confidants of the Big Toad Immortal. For Jiraiya, he is both a teacher and a friend. He can achieve his achievements today thanks to the guidance of these two.
After being interrupted by Jiraiya, the two toad immortals who were quarreling stopped their usual quarrels and said they were quarrels. In fact, it was just a slogan in Shima. Shenzuo Immortal usually doesn't talk back. He was carefully looking at the situation around him.
Then--
"Little Jiraiya, what's going on? Could the boy over there be......" Shenzuo Immortal looked at the big python entrenched in the forest like a hill under the moonlight, and the long-necked monster standing above the head of the big python.
He knew Orochimaru.
Jiraiya and Orochimaru have fought on the battlefield many times, and the Sage Sage and Shima Sage naturally inevitably dealt with Orochimaru.
However, just like the psychic beast ape demon of the third generation, the two immortals also dislike Orochimaru.
It feels like being born into a conflict.
"It's Orochimaru."
Jiraiya's smile was bitter.
"No wonder, you kid always disliked this kind of person who has no chance of being a woman. You would never use this trick unless you had to... Orochimaru! No wonder!" The immortal Mizusa shook his head, "But how did he become like this?"
He looked at his left arm that could not naturally fall, and the bones seemed to be broken into several pieces.
Before summoning them and their husbands out, they had already experienced a fierce battle.
"I want to know too! That's why I have to take Orochimaru back... and take it back to the village to ask clearly." Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru on the top of the python's head, with a determined look.
"Orochimaru, this little devil has disliked him since before, and he knew that he would cause trouble sooner or later."
The immortal Zhima muttered.
"Old woman, stop talking. Xiao Zilai was in a bad mood. If you say that again... Xiao Zilai is so pitiful."
"You are just talking too much, this brat is not as fragile as you think!"
The couple started arguing again.
Jiraiya grinned with a wry smile, moving his right hand that was not injured, and he made a one-handed seal that he was quite unaccustomed to, "Boss, sister, I'm ready to do it!"

Konoha Village.
The lights are already on.
Naoki Mizuno stood by the window, staring at the village with more and more lights. The shadows standing were very similar to those of the Third Generation. This is not what he learned from the Third Generation, but it is really suitable for viewing the village in this location, and it can easily bring the scenery of most of the village into your eyes.
“Is there no news yet?”
Minato asked suddenly.
“Not yet.”
The answer was a bit fluttering, and I couldn't tell where it came from.
"Orochimaru..." Minatoto rubbed his brows and whispered Orchimaru's name, feeling a little heavy.
If you don’t check it, you won’t know it. If you check it, you will be scary.
Orochimaru's secret research base was full of corpses. After statistics, at least more than a thousand people died. Of course, most of them were bandits and robbers caught outside the village. After all, the world today is far from peaceful. There are so many thieves everywhere, and they can't be killed.
Among the C-level and D-level tasks that Konoha receives, most of them are to wipe out certain bandits and certain bandits.
But in addition to that majority, there are still a small number of villagers who were found to be missing earlier in the village, some of whom have been victims in recent times, and some have disappeared on the battlefield, with no bodies found, thinking that they were taken away by the enemy, but they were found in Orochimaru's laboratory.
Things are getting big.
The victim's family members jointly requested heavy punishment of Orochimaru. The joint book was on his desk, and it can be expected that as time goes by, there will be some troubles in the next one or two weeks.
However, Minatotomi no longer cares about what kind of fate Orochimaru ends up.
No matter how bad Orochimaru's fate is, it's worth it.
Minato is a little worried about Jiraiya's situation now.
He had already arranged for Shimizu to chase after him. Logically speaking, even if he couldn't catch Orochimaru, he could go back to the village with all his might. However, as time went by, Minato gradually felt uneasy and always felt that he had ignored something very important...
"Orochimaru... Orchimaru... sent two more teams to chase after Shimizu's footsteps."
"yes."
The subordinates who were hiding in the dark responded to the orders of Lord Naruto immediately.
"······I hope nothing unexpected happens!!"
Looking at the village where the lights were shining in front of him, the fourth generation Naruto prayed secretly in his heart.
Meanwhile, two elite teams left the village in the dark.
———
Konoha Hospital.
Ward.
Junmaro was lying on the hospital bed, her eyes closed and she was still sleeping.
Kakashi Haki sat on the chair by the window, silently looking at the child lying on the hospital bed, gently stroked his right wrist with his left hand. The new medicines developed by Konoha Hospital were very good, and the wounds were no longer very painful.
However, Kakashi was not in a good mood.
Still too weak.
He was actually injured in the hands of such a young child. No matter what the reason was, the biggest reason was that his strength was that he could not kill Danzo and avenge his father... Moreover, he never had the chance to avenge his father again.
To be continued...
