Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 101: Fight and Retreat (1W2)

Amidst the flying yellow sand, a large number of Sand Village ninjas gathered in the shade behind a large sand dune that was not facing the sun. They were probably transformed by ninjutsu.

Although they have become accustomed to the feeling of the wind blowing sand across their cheeks, staying in the desert outside the village for a long time still makes many people feel uncomfortable, not only physically but also mentally.

The main reason was the ambiguity of the order - the Fourth Kazekage only asked them to gather here, but did not specify whether or not to fight, or when to fight, which caused many different thoughts among the Sand Ninjas.

The warlike ones were eager to try, while the war-weary ones were exhausted of their patience, but in the end they could only obey the orders and stagnate here together.

Hyuga Yuzuru was quietly gazing at the distant Sand Village in the distant desert.

There were many Sand Village outposts, but none of them could escape his eyes. He easily discovered the loopholes in them, bypassed the traps and warning barriers, and arrived around the large group of Sand Villagers.

To be precise, it's bait.

Blue arcs flashed in his eyes, and the scene in the distance was constantly pulled in.

No matter where the enemy is hiding, as long as it is a living creature, there will be a certain chakra reaction, and this is clearly outlined in the eyes of Hinata Yuzuru.

There are no shadow-level opponents.

Obviously, the enemy's real main force is not among them.

After determining the strength of the Sand Village army, Hyuga Yuzuru left quietly again. It must be said that his eyes, matched with his current strength, are truly BUG-level reconnaissance capabilities.

The Sunagakure clan obviously would not have thought that the Hyuga clan could see the details clearly at such a long distance and avoid so many obvious and hidden sentries.

After the intelligence collection was completed, Hyuga Yuzuru moved away from the detection point, channeled a white bird, briefly described the information, stuffed it into the mailbox at the bird's feet, and let it fly.

This is the spiritual object that Hinata Kaoru used for experiments earlier. Although its power is not very good, it can still play a certain role when used for certain special tasks.

Afterwards, Hyuga Yuzuru went straight to the location written in the letter given by Yakushi Nono.

He did not approach rashly, but carefully looked around with his white eyes, then approached to a distance where his white eyes could observe, and looked at it carefully with his white eyes.

This is a very concealed small stronghold, hidden under a sand dune, in a temporary space transformed by earth escape and covered with yellow sand. If it weren't for the White Eyes, it would be impossible to find this stronghold buried under the yellow sand.

among them.

The reaction of the chakra was complicated, but no chakra of the Kage level was seen.

The chakra level of twenty genin, thirteen chunin, and two jounin.

From what he could see with his Byakugan, what was stored in the base were only a large number of detonating talismans, kunai, food, water and other supplies.

It's just an ordinary supply base.

Hinata Yuzuru pondered for a moment and did not act rashly.

While using his Byakugan to directly observe the appearance of the ninjas among them, he confirmed that there were no familiar faces.

While waiting quietly, until another night fell, the chakra reactions of Shisui, Kakashi and others appeared in Byakugan's field of vision. Only then did he raise his head from the yellow sand and meet a few people.

Shisui and others came to his side exhausted.

"Is there anything unusual?"

Hinata Yuzuru shook his head, briefly described the information, and looked at Yakushi Nono.

Pharmacist No Naiyu frowned slightly and said, "Is it because we arrived too late?"

"Can you contact the root ninja named Hoshi?" Hinata Yuzuru asked.

From the letter, it seems that this Root Ninja named Xing had made an appointment with Yakushi Nono to go with him to "rescue Kabuto", but he didn't find any acquaintances here.

Did he realize that the plan had changed and canceled it temporarily?
Hyuga Yuzuru did not deny this possibility. Uchiha Obito might use Afei, who is also a member of the Akatsuki organization, to exchange information with Orochimaru, and Orochimaru would then feed it back to Danzo, which might lead to the cancellation of the operation.

Pharmacist Nonoyu shook his head, his eyes slightly anxious: "No, I didn't find any marks or signals nearby."

Hyuga Yuzuru was silent for a moment, and then made a decisive decision: "Then let's go first - there is a high probability that there is no value here."

It seemed that Shisui and Kakashi had made a wasted trip, and the Anbu members they were in charge of turned their heads to look at Hinata Yuzuru, with much blame in their eyes - right now, the number of Anbu members that could be used in Konoha was limited, and the three groups currently gathered here were the backbone of Konoha's Anbu.

Being called over by Hyuga Yuzuru's words obviously interrupted their mission rhythm, and strictly speaking, Hyuga Yuzuru did not have the command authority. He just used his personal connections to exchange for support.

"I'll share some information with you first. Please be careful when you act next time."

Hinata Yuzuru lowered her voice and shared some of the information she knew with Kakashi and Shisui in both words and gestures.

Including speculations about the connection between Uchiha Obito, Orochimaru, and Nebe, although many of them are unsubstantiated, and Hinata Yuzuru’s suspicion evidence chain is not complete. People who trust him will still take his speculations seriously. stand up.

Shisui and Kakashi were secretly shocked, especially Shisui. He didn't expect that this incident would be related to the Uchiha clan.

Even though Hyuga Yuzuru defined Obito's identity as 'an unknown Uchiha rebel ninja', but is the Sharingan, especially the Mangekyo level Sharingan, really something that an ordinary rebel ninja can possess?
Shisui possesses the Mangekyō and is well aware of the power contained in these eyes. He is secretly anxious, worrying that this will create a rift between Hinata Yuzuru and the Uchiha clan.

You can’t carry this pot!
"Kakashi, the power in that eye is similar to your Sharingan."

Hinata Yuzuru's words made Kakashi's pupils shrink slightly. He subconsciously reached out to touch his Sharingan, which was covered by the mask, and his eyes gradually became cold.

Someone stole Obito's eyes! ?
His first reaction was that someone had taken away Uchiha Obito's other Sharingan.

Hinata Yuzuru hinted at him vaguely: "The power hidden in your eyes is no less than that of the other person. Perhaps you don't know your own eyes very well."

Shisui thought of something, turned his head and stared at Kakashi, then looked at Hinata Yuzuru, his heart became more and more complicated.

In other words, is it possible that Kakashi also possesses the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan!?
Kakashi was momentarily disturbed by the news.

“In short, this mission is full of doubts.

The original mission may no longer be suitable for the current situation.

I think the focus of the next task should be on these doubtful points.

For example, the reason why Sunagakure Village is under suspicion this time and who is the transaction partner behind the scenes. "

Hinata Yuzuru's voice made Kakashi and Shisui think of Danzo at the same time.

"The other party may give up this plan. If that happens, Sand Village will most likely choose to retreat.

But if the Sand Village never leaves, be careful - the enemy's target may have shifted from me to somewhere else."

Hinata Yuzuru's words raised Kakashi and Shisui's vigilance again, especially Kakashi, who was assassinated once by Danzo and was deeply aware of the no lower limit of his roots.

But even so, when Kakashi realized that this matter might once again involve the Root, his eyes became even colder.

Collude with other ninja villages.

A ninja who traded with a special organization outside the village and secretly betrayed the village.

This is something that any ninja who loves and is loyal to Konoha cannot tolerate.

The three briefly exchanged intelligence again, formulated an action plan and area, and worked out several plans to support each other in the air before they separated again.

Hyuga Yuzuru was not in a hurry to leave this time. He led Yamato, Yakushi Nonou, and Uzuki Yugao, and obtained information about the Sand Village bit by bit according to the information on the map.

With his Byakugan, the rear of Sunagakure was almost penetrated like a sieve, as if he was strolling in his own backyard.

Even Yakushi Nonoyu, who is also an intelligence ninja, could not help but be surprised by his extremely high efficiency and ability.

It's like cheating!
No ninja has ever been able to collect information so efficiently and simply.

At a distance of ten kilometers, you can see the number of enemies, their chakra levels, and even their appearance and the items they carry in great detail.

Is this still a white eye?

Most cordons would not be set so far away, completely ignoring the opponent's sentries, traps, and barriers.

He alone can find out the truth and falsehood of the other party.

Time passed quietly, and on the map in Konoha's war room, bright red circles were drawn one after another as white birds flew over.

At this time, Nara Shikaku, who was the commander-in-chief of this battle, was standing in the command room, looking at the map, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hinata Yuzuru, what an amazing guy!"

Beside him, the classic Pig and Butterfly families would naturally not be absent.

Yamanaka Kaiichi of the Yamanaka clan and Akimichi Choza of the Akimichi clan were listening to his words in the command room.

"Indeed, if we had such outstanding ninjas during the Third War, perhaps we wouldn't have been beaten to Mount Kikyo at all."

Yamanaka Inoichi was also amazed.

On the map, various notes are densely packed with information.

[This location is a material storage point, the number of garrison ninjas is 15, the configuration is 2-4-9, and the materials are mainly. ]

[This is Sunagakure Outpost. 】

【Sand Hidden Sentinel.】

【Sagakure Frontline Intelligence Station.】

[Sunagakure Temporary Headquarters. 】

[Sunagakure cordon activity route. 】

[Mobile line of Sunagakure Communications Group. 】

Various maps drawn with red circles and lines almost made everyone sitting in the command room as if they had opened a full-map plug-in and had a clear understanding of the battlefield situation.

Akimichi Choza stared at the map with burning eyes. For a moment, he couldn't help but suggest pointing to a place on the map and said, "If we take the initiative to attack from here, with the speed of the main force, we can even kill directly to the Sand Village."

"Yes." Nara Shikaku sighed, but could only say quietly: "The Third-generation Master does not want to start a war."

Several people were silent, all speechless.

Who likes to fight, but this opportunity still seems too tempting - if the information given by Hyuga Yuzuru is not missing, Konoha will definitely win the biggest victory since the third war.

It's just that the current ZZ trend in Konoha and the demands of most ninjas exist objectively. After a battle is started, even if the war is won, the consequences are likely to put Konoha at a disadvantage.

The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Iwagakure Village can ignore Konoha and fight each other until their brains are almost popping out. Isn't the reason for this because they think that Konoha poses no threat now?

If Konoha shines and wins on the Sunagakure front, maybe Iwagakure and Kumogakure will put pressure on Konoha.

Ugh.

The three of them looked at each other and could see the loneliness and frustration in each other's eyes.

Not even the Sand Village can be touched.

Looking at the information on the map, Nara Shikaku was silent for a long time, and then said: "I think Sunagakure doesn't want to fight this either."

He pointed at the map and analyzed it carefully. He could see that the Sand Village had made all the preparations to retreat inward. It was obvious that they were prepared for full defense in case Konoha took the initiative. They had no intention of taking the initiative to attack.

There are only a lot of ninjas wandering around in dangerous areas with nothing to do, which looks very eye-catching.

"It's hard to say. They have reached an agreement with other ninja villages. When we take action, they will hold Konoha back on this battlefield and then cooperate with other ninja villages to launch a coordinated attack. Konoha, don't advance rashly."

Nara Shikaku made his decision.

Qiu Daoding sat down on a chair, took out a bag of snacks that he had saved for a long time and stuffed his mouth full, saying vaguely: "Then how long are we going to waste here?"

"Sunagakure Village is already lacking in resources and has a weak economy. The gold that the Fourth Kazekage can mine from the sand alone is not enough for him to bring so many people out to play in one go. In my opinion, it will take ten days at most. If Sunagakure doesn't want to fight, They must be withdrawn.”

"Be alert. No matter what, they shouldn't just waste time and money just to make Konoha nervous."

Nara Shikaku held up a cup of warm tea and looked very calm.

The Ino, Deer and Chou trio decided not to take the initiative to attack and began to speculate on the movements of the Sand Village.

As for Sunagakure, what on earth was thinking to do such a thing? Now the situation is still maintained with the army gathering, and they are stalemate on the edge of the desert?

"Orochimaru, if you are just wasting my time."

In a piece of yellow sand, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa looked coldly at Orochimaru in front of him.

Orochimaru, wearing an Akatsuki uniform, grinned when he heard that, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips: "Don't worry, the people from the Root won't dare not come."

He looked leisurely, drinking sake and eating barbecue in the temporary tent.

Luo Sha sat opposite him, but had no intention of eating at all. She stared at him and said, "It was agreed that it would only be half a month, but now, it's almost been a month."

"If you can't give me an explanation."

Luo Sha's eyes gradually became dangerous. The sand and dust outside the tent moved without wind. The sand seemed to have life, swirling gently outside the tent, and gradually turned into a tornado that surrounded the tent.

Orochimaru just continued to look at Rasa with that weird smile, gently reached into his arms, and then took out a scroll.

"This is." Luo Sha cautiously used sand to open the scroll for himself, but found that it contained the coordinates of several underground facilities hidden in the Sand Village.

This is a secret laboratory that originally belonged to the roots and is now abandoned.

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue, licked his lips, took a sip of sake, and put it aside. He said in a low voice: "There are not only a lot of rare research equipment that Sand Village doesn't have, but also some precious research materials - for example, the research data of the first generation Hokage's Wood Release Cells."

Wood escape! ?
Rasa's breathing quickened for a moment, but she immediately woke up and looked at Orochimaru with a sneer - not to mention it was just partial research data. Even in Konoha now, I'm afraid there is no research result. What's the use of part of the data?

The research data of the so-called Wood Release Cells is completely meaningless.

"Among them, there are some Hashirama cells that remain active in the culture dish."

Orochimaru said nonchalantly, which made Luo Sha narrow his eyes. After a while, he nodded: "This is your compensation for the delay. In addition, no matter what, we will withdraw after one month."

Luo Sha stood up, lifted up the tent, and smiled a little contemptuously: "It seems that next time, there is no need to make a deal with you or Danzo."

Although I don't know what the other party is planning, it seems that they are not far from failure.

The only surprising gain is probably knowing that the situation inside Konoha is probably not stable at the moment. Danzo is colluding with the rebel nin Orochimaru, and the target they are planning is probably Konoha's own people.

Sunagakure just paid a batch of funds, and a group of ninjas wasted a month.

But compared to the transaction reward agreed upon by Danzo, it was quite profitable.

I really envy Konoha. Even a traitor can control so many resources.

He felt both disgust and disdain for traitors like Danzo and Orochimaru, but fortunately they were not from the Sand Village. In a sense, he should be happy about that.

Luo Sha took a step forward, but suddenly stopped.

He held his breath, squinted his eyes, and looked around.

"Who is coming?"

In the dust, a figure came slowly, carrying a long blade. The sword was extremely conspicuous. At a glance, Luo Sha could tell that the sword was the famous beheading sword in the ninja world. If nothing unexpected happened, the person who now owns it is the S-rank rebel ninja of the Hidden Mist Village, Biwa Juzo.

At the same time, in the other direction, there were also two figures, gradually appearing in the sand and dust.

Luo Sha stared at the distance expressionlessly. The two men were also wearing the iconic red cloud and black robes of the Akatsuki organization. Luo Sha compared the enemy with the information in his mind and realized that the visitors were all traitors with high status in the ninja world.

One of the rebel ninjas was holding a young boy in his hand.

"It's just that these people can't keep me."

The sand beside Luo Sha was surging like a living thing. It seemed that as long as the other party took action, the entire desert would start to riot in the next moment.

Orochimaru let out a hoarse, low laugh: "Don't be nervous, they are here to help"

Rasa's sharp eyes were fixed on Orochimaru.

"Hey, Orochimaru, does this guy have to be alive?!"

A rebel impatiently dropped the boy in his hand. The boy lay motionless on the yellow sand, and the cracks on the lenses of his round-frame glasses became bigger.

The identity of this young man is none other than Kabuto Yakushi who was supposed to be carrying out a mission in the Iwagakure Village!
"Don't be anxious, Dayan, the bait has been released, so you have to wait patiently for the fish to take the bait."

Orochimaru's deep voice made the rebel ninja of Akatsuki snort coldly. He sat aside with his arms and legs spread, looking at the Fourth Kazekage coldly and arrogantly, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.

At this time, the Akatsuki organization was not as strong as it would be in the future. The strength of the people under it varied. The weak ones were only at the level of a jonin. Even Biwa Juzo could be considered one of the core backbones of the Akatsuki organization.

Oiwa is a traitor ninja from the Iwagakure Village. He was once an elite jonin of the village and mastered the rare and powerful Lava Release. Even in the Iwagakure Village, which is full of talented people, he is well-known.

"Yin Gao, I'll leave this kid to you. I'm so thirsty in this shabby place, the Sand Country." Oiwa spoke without restraint, without caring at all about the presence of the Fourth Kazekage.

The senior ninja whom he called Yin Gao, wore a forehead protector from the Longyin Village. He was not very powerful, but he was a murderer by nature. He once belonged to the Evil God Cult. Although he did not achieve immortality like Feiduan, he still mastered some evil secret techniques.

Yin Gao expressionlessly grabbed Yakushi Kabuto from the ground and threw it into Orochimaru's tent. Orochimaru looked at the unconscious Yakushi Kabuto in front of him with curious eyes, patiently picked up the water cup and fed him water.

If nothing unexpected happens, this guy is just the bait for fishing. I just don't know why Hinata Yuzuru is related to this guy.

Thinking of Hyuga Yuzuru, Orochimaru couldn't help but sigh. Originally, he was still a little guy who didn't dare to take action against him even when he was seriously injured. In just a few years, he actually caused a lot of losses to everyone in the Akatsuki organization. He begged Payne all night for help. He sent additional reinforcements himself.

He also kept emphasizing that this kid must be nipped in the bud.

Not to mention Payne, even Orochimaru now finds it a bit funny - Fei is an intelligence officer in the organization, his strength has never been strong, and his brain seems to have some problems. I really don't know what Hyuga Yuzuru did, To be able to scare him like that.

Payne sent three members of his organization to come, which was considered to be giving Ah Fei enough face.

"It seems it's time for me to go."

Luo Sha narrowed her eyes, not wanting to get entangled in this. Even if she didn't know what kind of fish they wanted to catch, it had nothing to do with her.

"Lord Luo Sha, I wonder if you are interested in the Byakugan."

Orochimaru spoke quietly.

Luo Sha was stunned for a moment, then laughed in a low voice, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes: "You mean?"

"Don't get me wrong. I know you may have heard about what happened to the Hyuga clan in Konoha, and you also know that all members of the Hyuga clan have been engraved with a new seal. But the person who is coming this time is the son of the current Hyuga clan leader."

"As long as we can capture him, not to mention a pair of white eyes, even if you want the eyes of the current Hyuga clan leader, Hyuga Hizashi, he will probably dig them out for you with his own hands."

Luo Sha narrowed her eyes: "You just want to capture him, but will you hand him over to me?"

"Of course not. But that doesn't prevent us from asking for compensation from him together."

Orochimaru's sinister laughter made people feel a little creepy. Luo Sha pondered for a moment and nodded.

"If possible, I will take action, but if there are many people coming from Konoha, it will be a different matter - Sunagakure does not intend to officially start a war with Konoha."

Luo Sha did some calculations in his mind. If he could take this opportunity to capture Hinata Yuzuru, he could put the blame on Danzo and the guys from the Akatsuki organization, and he would get real benefits.

Strictly speaking, there has never been any peace agreement between Sunagakure and Konoha.

As long as the conflict does not intensify, Konoha will never go to war with itself because he is just the son of a Hyuga clan leader.

Orochimaru's laughter became 'happier'. He lowered his head, reached out and patted Kabuto Yakushi's face. The hand that was pouring water for him also increased the angle, and the water in the kettle poured directly into his throat.

"Kid, when you wake up, don't pretend to be asleep."

Yakushi Kabuto coughed repeatedly because of his actions. He stood up awkwardly, but he did not stop. He took out a sharp scalpel from his trouser pocket without hesitation and was about to chop his neck with the knife. "It's not good for children to play with such dangerous things."

Orochimaru just used two fingers to hold the sharp scalpel.

"Ah, he is still a good young man who masters medical ninjutsu. No wonder he can lurk in Iwagakure so smoothly."

Yakushi Kabuto took a deep breath, loosened his fingers, gave up struggling, and calmly thought about how to break the situation. He whispered, "Why did you capture me? Who from the Hyuga clan?"

"It's so pitiful that I didn't even know that Hope was around me.

However, seeing your look, I roughly understand why Hinata Yuzuru wants you to go back.

Danzo was really wasting his wealth, even Hyuga Yuzuru could see the treasure, but he regarded it as an insignificant bargaining chip.

Hey, hey, hey"

Orochimaru's words made his heart skip a beat, as if a huge rock had sunk in his chest.

Yakushi Kabuto reached out and touched his glasses. The broken lenses made him feel a little angry that he could not suppress. This was a gift from the dean, a treasure he had vowed to protect.

But soon, he calmly considered the current situation.

Obviously, I was sold.

Even if it is not as good as what Orochimaru, the rebellious ninja in front of him, said, he was sold by Danzo, he was also sold by others around him.

As for what changes have taken place in the Hyuga clan, and who came back to save them.

But Pharmacist Dou knew nothing about it.

He had neither received any intelligence from Konoha nor climbed to a high position in Iwagakure, so he did not know as much news about Konoha as the Fourth Kazekage, and he was not at all familiar with the name Hinata Yuzuru.

The only time he had heard of this name was during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, when news reached his ears that there was a 'great good man' in the Hyuga clan.

Why would he come to save himself! ?
Dou's mind, which was already a little dizzy, became even more dizzy and he could not figure out the truth.

At this moment, the Fourth Kazekage suddenly narrowed his eyes, formed seals with his hands, and his whole body turned into a ball of gravel and disappeared in the desert.

Several people from the Akatsuki organization were subconsciously on alert. Orochimaru stood up leisurely, lifted up the tent's tarp, and put a hand on Kabuto's shoulder: "Why don't you go out and have a look? Who knows, there will be someone who takes you seriously." Someone showed up."

Yakushi Kabuto subconsciously held his breath: "What do you mean!?"

He was half pushed by Orochimaru and staggered out of the tent.

In the distant wind and sand, four figures were slowly walking towards us on the yellow sand.

The yellow sand blown by the breeze was gradually broken by human figures.

Four people dressed as ANBU gradually appeared clearly in Orochimaru's sight.

The white eyes of the leader among them are particularly conspicuous under the mask.

"I didn't expect that you'd grow so tall in just a few years, Yuzuru-chan."

Hinata Yuzuru kept his distance and stopped.

The muscles of Yakushi Nonou beside him were tense, and his eyes were fixed on Yakushi Kabuto, and Kabuto seemed to feel something. Even through an ANBU mask, he could feel that he was the one he trusted most and was closest to. The person, finally, finally appeared in front of him.

"Orochimaru, why don't you tell me now how much benefit Danzo has given you, I will give you twice as much, and how about taking the people and leaving now?"

"The Fourth Kazekage, four S-class rebel ninjas, and a masked face hiding in the distance, afraid to show his head."

"Is this treatment a bit too exaggerated for me?"

Hinata Yuzuru tilted his head and took off his mask. There was no doubt that none of these people in front of him would not know their own identities.
Orochimaru smiled hoarsely and clapped his hands: "Where did your Byakugan come from with such high purity? Or is your Byakugan different from ordinary people's?"

"But, well, it doesn't matter."

The hand he put on Kabuto's shoulder gently stretched towards Yakushi Kabuto's neck.

The next moment, a wooden stake suddenly rose from the ground, pointing directly at his arm. At the same time, Yakushi Kabuto jumped hard and dodged to one side.

Orochimaru just smiled lowly, and his arms turned into a twisted shape like a python. While avoiding the wooden stake, he wrapped around Yakushi Kabuto's neck.

"Fuck!"

The piercing sound of thunder and lightning made Orochimaru's pupils shrink slightly. In his sight, Hyuga Yuzuru, who was originally dozens of meters away, seemed to have turned into lightning at this moment, with countless arcs flashing and heading straight for his head.

Alas Allah.

The speed of growth is a bit too fast!

Orochimaru twisted his neck and moved his head away from the place, trying to avoid this fatal blow, but he saw a cloud of smoke exploding behind Hinata Yuzuru as thunder and lightning roared.

Another Hyuga Yuzuru shot out of the air, at extremely high speed, raised the katana that Shisui had given him, and slashed at his left arm with a cold light.

Orochimaru's face darkened. In a moment, he realized the strength of Hyuga Yuzuru and had to retract his arm. At this moment, Hyuga Yuzuru, who was holding a samurai sword, picked up Kabuto Yakushi and sent him back to Nono Yakushi.

"Walk."

As soon as the word fell, Yakushi Nono ran back without hesitation, but at this moment, the yellow sand in the sky seemed to turn into a living monster, forming a big hand and grabbing Yakushi Nono's ankle.

"Fourth Kazekage, doing this can easily intensify the conflict."

At this time, there were two Hyuga Yuzuru, one of whom was entangled with Orochimaru and directly blew up the tent, raising a cloud of dust.

The other one, holding a samurai sword, chopped at the big hand of Huangsha.

Luo Sha's voice was calm: "This is the territory of the Sand Village. You Konoha ninjas who invaded without reason have no right to object!"

At this time, the other three members of Akatsuki also approached.

Yamato clapped his hands together, and the trees on the ground directly blocked Oiwa and Yin Gao. Uzuki Xiyan faced Loquat Juzo with a katana in hand.

In an instant, billowing dust rose in the desert, and arcs of chakra flickered, shining beautifully in the sand.

The samurai sword fell into the huge hand of yellow sand and pierced through it without a doubt, but the sand and dust continued to grab Yakushi Nono.

Until a strange blue chakra fluctuation flew towards the distant desert with the help of yellow sand.

The Fourth Kazekage emerged from the sand and dust, narrowed his eyes, and his huge hand of yellow sand became sluggish for a moment, and was instantly out of range by Yakushi Nono, who ran away without looking back.

"Yuzuru-chan, you're really arrogant to use only one shadow clone."

Orochimaru's voice finally came, and with the sound of smoke and dust exploding, he instantly appeared next to the Fourth Kazekage.

"Lao Jie: Flame Flow River!"

Da Yan of the Akatsuki organization roared angrily, and the yellow sand on the ground turned into red soil, as if magma was gushing out from the ground and rushing to the ground. Countless trees that were blocking him were broken by the violent magma, and crackling sounds were made under the lava.

Yamato rolled over and retreated to Hinata Yuzuru's side.

Uozuki Xiyan's long sword was flying and flashing, and she and Loquat Juzo fought back and forth in a short period of time. However, after realizing the situation of the battle, she immediately forced Loquat Juzo back with a sword and retreated to Hyuga Yuzuru's side.

The three of them formed a formation.

Beside them, four people from the Akatsuki organization and Luo Sha formed a circle of encirclement in a tacit understanding, trapping the three of them tightly.

"This Wood Release Ninja must be given to me."

Luo Sha spoke bluntly.

Orochimaru simply replied: "No problem."

"Damn kid!" Oiwa looked a little embarrassed. He was blocked by Yamato's Wood Release and was almost stabbed through the heart.

Hinata Yuzuru was not wearing glasses at the moment. His medium-length hair was swaying in the wind, and his sharp eyes were looking around.

"Act according to plan."

After he finished whispering, Yamato's expressionless hands quickly formed seals, and the next moment, a giant tree rose into the air.

Luo Sha waved his hand expressionlessly, and endless yellow sand turned into iron sand, chopping towards the giant tree.

The giant tree was cut down at the waist before it reached its limit.

But then, a creature appeared in the sky. He could actually fly! ?

Huge blue wings grew behind Hinata Yuzuru, and their exaggerated length even blocked a patch of sunlight, causing Orochimaru and the others below him to be shrouded in shadow.

He held Yamato in his left hand and Uzuki Yugao in his right hand, flapped his wings, and soared into the sky, flying away into the distance against the light.

"Damn it!"

Dayan shouted angrily, but there was no way he could fly into the sky.

Orochimaru's expression became increasingly gloomy, and he narrowed his eyes and looked at the Fourth Kazekage.

The Fourth Kazekage responded to Orochimaru with only two confident sneers. The yellow sand under his feet condensed, and the next moment, it was as if he stepped on a cloud made of yellow sand and flew high into the sky.

Hinata Yuzuru's flying speed doesn't seem to be much faster than his flying speed.

However, just as Luo Sha stepped on the sand and rose into the sky, trying to pursue him, a ray of lightning appeared between the fallen branches and leaves of the giant tree, and a dazzling ray of sunlight shone on Luo Sha's eyes, making him squint unconsciously. In an instant, it shot out suddenly.

At this moment, Raikiri seemed to have really turned into a burst of thunder and lightning in the sky. The Fourth Kazekage, who had just taken off, had only time to instinctively fold his hands in front of him and condense sand gold to block it. The next moment, he was struck by the sky thunder. Blast directly into the ground.

It was only at this moment that the giant tree that was blown down by his placer gold finally slowly collapsed and crashed into the desert almost at the same time as Luo Sha, causing a violent wind and chaotic sand.

"Shadow clone? This kid is really something." Oiwa hadn't finished his words in amazement.

Orochimaru interrupted him coldly: "It's not a shadow clone."

The faces of the remaining people present changed slightly.

Hinata Yuzuru landed with a bang. Even though the inertia of his full-strength Raikiri was reduced after hitting the enemy, the free fall from such a high distance still caused him to create a huge sand pit. Countless gravel was blown out by him, making it almost impossible to see his figure.

"Really." Yin Gao seemed to want to make some comments, but the next moment, dozens of blue chakra light waves suddenly attacked him in the sand and dust.

Pitch smiled nonchalantly, covering his heart with one hand and his neck and head with one hand, and moved around casually.

Blue chakra balls fell on him.

Yin Gao's smile froze immediately.

Chakra, locked!

He wanted to move, but found that his whole body was frozen in place. He looked at Dayan beside him with horrified eyes, and wanted to call for help, but found that Dayan was just laughing at this moment.

"You are not scared silly, are you? Do you really think you are immortal? Does it hurt?"

Yin Gao opened his mouth.

The words remained unsaid.

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

In the air, a samurai sword whirled out with a sharp light. In Oiwa's surprised eyes, half of his palm and his neck were chopped off together.

"Hey, can you still survive after your neck is cut off?" Oyan looked at Yin Pian in disbelief, wondering why he didn't move even until he died.

Orochimaru's hoarse voice sounded from Oiwa's ear: "This guy can actually launch a soft fist from a distance. Be careful. His soft fist looks like it can paralyze your whole body if it hits."

Oiwa then realized.

What happened to Pitch?

Biwa Juzang raised the beheading sword, his expression becoming more serious: "Orochimaru, this guy, is he hiding his age? If not... this guy is scarier than the Mizukage."

It is already incredible that the Fourth Mizukage took office at the age of fifteen.

But compared with the nine-year-old Konoha ninja in front of him.

Is the Fourth Mizukage worthy of being called a genius?
Only now did Luo Sha's furious roar resound in the yellow sand in the sky.

His arms were covered in blood as he stood in the yellow sand in a panic, looking at Hinata Yuzuru in disbelief. The murderous intent in his eyes was extremely solid.

Such a genius must not be left to Konoha!
"It seems that we have reached an agreement."

Orochimaru opened his mouth with murderous eyes and spat out a long sword.

"Lao escape: Hell on earth!"

In order to make up for his mistake, Oiwa angrily formed seals with his hands and used a large-scale lava escape.

In the sand and dust where Hinata Yuzuru was in the distance, the feet of the vague figure turned into hot magma in an instant, swallowing the vague figure like a swamp.

"Hiding Shadow Snake Hand!" Orochimaru shouted, and many poisonous snakes emerged from his arms and bit towards his side.

The figure of Hyuga Yuzuru flashed up next to him. He felt a little regretful. He was worthy of being one of the three ninjas. His tactics were deployed quickly enough, but the opponent still saw through his true intention.

"Back to the days!"

A light blue whirlpool exploded, and Juzo Biwa, Orochimaru, and Ōiwa, who were holding up their beheading swords, were directly blown away by this Kaiten. But at the moment of being hit, Orochimaru summoned a python to take his back, and Juzo Biwa simply and roughly used the beheading sword to carry it for himself. Only Ōiwa didn't have time to form a seal and was blown away fiercely.

"Magnetic Escape·Alluvial Gold Realm Method!"

Countless sand gold short spears turned into arrow rain in the air, piercing the air and falling towards Hinata Yuzuru.

"Earth Release: Heart Beheading Technique!"

At the feet of Hyuga Yuzuru, a shadow clone of Orochimaru reached out with a grin, grabbed his ankles, and transformed into two pythons, entwining themselves and crawling towards his neck, restricting his movement, and also moving toward him. He delivers the killing blow.

In his pupils, blue eyes flashed with regret.

"It seems that I am still too weak."

After listening to Hinata Yuzuru's words, Orochimaru realized that something was wrong. He subconsciously looked into the distance: "That's not right!"

The placer gold short spear pierced Hinata Yuzuru's body, and the thunder movie clone made Orochimaru's shadow clone freeze in place. The next moment, the detonator exploded, and the huge smoke and shock wave seemed to set off a mixed yellow and black wave.

Amid the crackling sound of breaking sand, Luo Sha stepped on the yellow clouds and soared into the sky.

"Ran?"

Oiwa belatedly discovered the fact that it was only a shadow clone that injured him.

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, but he licked a mouthful of sand. He thought to himself that he was unlucky and spit out a mouthful of saliva. Then he sincerely sighed: "The combination of virtual and real can create so many misleadings in just a few seconds." With Trap, Hinata Yuzuru has really grown into a great guy."

"Chase?" Biwa Juzo held the beheading sword and remembered Hinata Yuzuru's name deeply in his heart.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment.

“Let’s go and take a look first. If the opportunity is right, we should keep him here.

But if it’s not good, forget it.”

Orochimaru made no secret of the fact that saving his own life was his top priority.

Oiwa had already walked away angrily, with no intention of listening to what Orochimaru had to say.

"I'm going to kill this brat!"

"Melt him in the lava and turn him into a fossil!"

Biwa Juzo looked at his back dimly, then turned to look at Orochimaru, and looked into his eyes, both of them filled with disdain and mockery towards Oowa.

Even if it was just a glimpse, less than a minute of fighting.

It is also enough to make people see Hinata Yuzuru's ability.

Even though he is still young.

The chakra reaction doesn't seem to be enough to support the level of Kage.

But the skills it demonstrates.

He mastered all kinds of strange and unique ninjutsu that he had never seen before, such as the wings that fly into the sky, and the soft fist chakra light wave that can leave the body to attack.

Rachel's lethality could threaten the life of the Fourth Kazekage.

Spot reaction.

Tactical deployment.

Supplemented by the Byakugan and secret techniques of the Hyuga clan.

There is no doubt that the gap between Hinata Yuzuru and Kage is extremely small. It seems that there is only a little time to settle.

If it was just Oiwa and Hyuga Yuzuru fighting one-on-one.

One minute at most.

Oiwa will be caught in a vulnerable position by Hinata Yuzuru and killed with one blow.

Loquat Juuzang looked solemn when he thought of this.

So, if the two of us meet on a narrow road, will I be his opponent?

After careful thought, he came up with an answer that was a little hard for him to accept.

It seems, kind of, unbeatable.

Orochimaru was silent, and no one knew what he was thinking. He narrowed his eyes and looked increasingly gloomy.

Only Oiwa ran faster and faster, wishing he could catch up with the Fourth Kazekage and let him fly with him.

The chase took a very long time, but in the desert full of sand, the concept of time seemed to be blurred, and people would sometimes even feel dazed, wondering whether they had taken the wrong path.

But fortunately, the Luosha seemed to stick very tightly along the way. As long as it followed the traces of the gold sand hitting the ground, it could be guaranteed not to fall off.

When Oiwa finally stopped breathing a little out of breath.

Several people looked into the distance with solemn expressions.

Just look at the flying gold all over the sky, turning into a huge waterfall, spreading overwhelmingly for nearly a hundred meters, like the yellow sky turning upside down, rushing towards the distance where no human figures can be seen.

Among the blurry figures that were about to be buried by the yellow sand, an evil and mysterious green ghost suddenly emerged, with its skeleton spread out hideously, and let out a silent roar in the yellow sand.

The well-informed Orochimaru's face changed slightly.

He couldn't help but murmured greedily in a low voice.

"Mangekyō Sharingan."
