In the evening, after entering the Forest of Death, the three members of Team 7 headed along a river towards the central tower.
Because it was approaching evening, the three of them stopped to prepare food.
Sasuke walked around while the two of them prepared food.
"I said Sasuke, what have you been doing?"
After Sasuke came back, Naruto was the first to ask, and Sakura on the side also cast a curious look.
"Just patrolling around to see if there are any enemies."
Sasuke explained lightly that he just sensed that a certain red-haired girl was about to die, so he went to save her.
According to her statement, she got separated from her companions.
But Sasuke speculated that Koso's companions were naturally not separated, but were killed by Orochimaru.
Originally, Orochimaru should have planned to kill all Kusagakure ninjas, but he recognized the identity of the Uzumaki clan.
That's why Xiang Phosphorus managed to survive.
Sasuke returned to Sakura and Naruto and had a simple meal with them.
"Sasuke, Naruto, someone is approaching!"
Sakura suddenly sensed something strange and quickly stood up and looked in one direction.
Sasuke raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when he saw three ninjas suddenly appear from the jungle not far away.
"A rain ninja person?"
After taking a look at the forehead protectors and costumes of the three of them, Sakura's face became solemn and she was ready to fight.
Yu Ren and them are old enemies.
The first time I left the village to perform a mission to fight ninjas was with Rain Ninja, and the last mission was also with Rain Ninja.
Sakura was ready to fight, but unexpectedly, when the three rain ninjas rushed out and saw the three of them, the expression of the one in front changed.
He glanced at the three of them warily and left in the direction he came from.
During the retreat, the round-shaped Shigure looked at his captain and asked angrily: "Captain, they are just a few Konoha brats, why..."
"Shut up! If you want to die, just go there by yourself, I will never stop you!"
Captain Ume Ninja interrupted Shigure coldly.
In fact, he is not a Genin at all, but a Jonin from the Rain Ninja Village. This time he was ordered to sneak into the Chunin Examination to collect some information about Konoha.
He knew a lot more information than the two genin around him.
For example, the seventh class I met just now.
Shigure opened his mouth, but finally fell into silence.
"Are they afraid of us?"
After the rain ninja left, Naruto scratched the back of his head, a little puzzled.
"Probably so!" Sakura nodded and replied in a deep voice: "After all, we have fought against Yu Ren's people twice. It is not difficult to understand that they are wary."
"That's what you say." Naruto continued to ask: "The first time we fought against the Amegakure, we didn't show much strength. The Amegakure who participated in the coup in Takigakure Village last time committed suicide. They probably don't know.
, you’re not so afraid of us, are you?”
'I wish you were always so clever.'
Sakura rolled her eyes and said calmly: "There are countless secret techniques in the ninja world. Those Amegakure did commit suicide, but they may not have spread the news before committing suicide. And Naruto, don't forget, those few
This guy is not dead yet."
“Inside the temple!”
Naruto nodded with a sudden look on his face and praised: "As expected of Sakura-chan, she really perfectly expressed what I was thinking."
"Idiot! It's okay to shut you up...wait!"
Sakura's face hardened and she said in a deep voice: "It's too quiet!"
For a moment, everything was silent, even the chirping of summer insects disappeared, and a strong sense of uneasiness filled Sakura in the silent air.
"Be careful, the enemy is about to take action."
Feeling that the secretly peeping eyes were getting stronger and stronger, Sasuke, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth to remind him.
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground shook, and a big snake with a waist several times thicker than a bucket broke out from the ground beneath the feet of several people, opening its large mouth exuding a rich smell of blood and biting at the three of them.
Whoosh!
The moment the big snake appeared, Sakura and Naruto jumped up and jumped far away, but Sasuke stood still.
A ray of white light shot out from Sasuke's hand, like thunder coming out of its sheath, and the Budu Soul Control Sword flashed a cold light and penetrated straight through the giant snake's big head.
At this time, the vitality of snakes was revealed. The big snake whose head was penetrated did not die immediately, but instead struggled violently.
However, the big snake only struggled for a moment, and the Budu Soul Sword suddenly erupted with dazzling lightning, directly destroying all the little remaining vitality of the big snake.
Bang. Bang!
There was a burst of applause, and a female ninja wearing a grass covert uniform appeared on the branch of a tree in the distance. She looked down at the three of them and said, "Not bad, not bad, your reaction speed is very fast, Uchiha Sasuke!"
Someone from Kusanagi?
impossible!
How could Kusagakure have such a strong genin?
Sakura stared at the Kusagakure ninja in the distance, even if the ninja was just standing there casually.
Sakura could also feel an unfathomable aura and cold and twisted danger coming from "her" body.
This guy is extremely dangerous!
Sakura is not a sensory ninja and cannot sense the chakra of the incoming person, but the dangerous aura exuded by that ninja is the strongest guy she has ever seen!
"Tch, it's just that Sasuke was one step ahead. You guy, don't ignore my existence, bastard!"
Hearing that the person who came just praised Sasuke, before Sasuke could speak, Naruto spoke first and heard him say angrily.
"You came here alone to give me the scroll in your hand? Then I won't be polite. Let's see how Uncle Naruto defeats you!"
What about the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki?
hehe....
Looking at Naruto's blond hair and blue eyes, Orochimaru couldn't help but think of the former Fourth Hokage - Namikaze Minato.
Regarding Namikaze Minato, Orochimaru had some complicated feelings.
Although he had long since wanted to be the so-called Hokage, when the Third Hokage passed on the position of Hokage to others.
Orochimaru was still worried about gains and losses.
"You want the Book of Earth in my hand, right? Haha..." Orochimaru licked his lips, showed an inexplicable smile, and took out a scroll.
"After all, what you have in your hands is the Book of Heaven!"
As he spoke, Orochimaru opened his mouth like a snake and swallowed the Earth Scroll in his hand.
'This guy is so disgusting!'
Sakura's face changed slightly, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes.
"Then, let's begin!" Orochimaru licked his lips, his murderous aura quickly condensed like a huge wave, and he said gloomily:
"Fight with your lives!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru's abyss-like cold murderous aura suddenly erupted. The murderous aura was so violent that it seemed to condense the surrounding air into ice cubes!
