Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 40 Orochimaru-senpai, make a deal
Yes, once the battle starts in this large tree hole, with Orochimaru's destructive power and character, it is inevitable that innocent people will not be implicated. Do we really want these innocent and poor Ibuli people to die because of Orochimaru?

It would be fine if these people were just followers of Orochimaru who were strangers and had nothing to do with Konoha. But at this time, Kakashi clearly understood one thing clearly under Hinata Yuzuru's reminder-their tragic experience now, the fact The upper half is related to the roots.

At the very least, Konoha would never stand idly by when those children died tragically as experimental subjects.

Yamato's appearance here also means something that makes Kakashi even more disappointed. It is impossible that the Root and Orochimaru have no connection. It is even very likely that the one who helped Orochimaru with the experiment was the Root, Danzo.

And after that, will there be tacit approval from others?

For example, three generations
Kakashi might not have thought of these dark facts, nor would he extend the affairs of the Root to the Third Hokage. However, Hyuga Yuzuru beside him not only hinted at them, but also made clear many of the strange things behind them. How could Kakashi remain indifferent?
The original determination to carry out the third generation mission and vow to hunt down Orochimaru gradually turned into negative emotions because of his words and actions.

Hinata Yuzuru calculated this exactly. Not only did he understand the psychology of the Iburi people, but he also took advantage of their mentality to force Kakashi to agree to what he was about to do!
"So, first of all, we must protect the Iburi clan who have lost their future and their loved ones forever due to Konoha's negligence. This is the goal of this temporary operation."

Hyuga Yuzuru set the tone for this battle.

Kakashi remained silent and did not deny it, but responded ambiguously: "If Orochimaru is seriously injured and the two of us are able to keep him here..."

"You don't have to tell me. If Orochimaru really looks like he will fall down with a push, I won't miss this opportunity." Hinata Yuzuru said casually, but in his heart he didn't believe that he and Kakashi could really stop Orochimaru with the current situation.

If Orochimaru's combat ability is 8, then his ability to save his life must be 10. In terms of his desire to survive alone, Hyuga Yuzuru is willing to call Orochimaru the strongest in the ninja world.

Right now, Hyuga Yuzuru's skills are all focused on physical skills, and Kakashi's skills are all focused on killing. Who of the two has the ability to capture alive Orochimaru, who even the Third Hokage couldn't take down?
Even in a life-and-death fight, who knows if Orochimaru has mastered any secret techniques now?

Hyuga Yuzuru has always been steady, and it is impossible for the third generation to work hard to clean up his own mistakes.

After making up his mind to persuade them to retreat first, Hyuga Yuzuru fooled Kakashi with a few words and formulated some conventional tactics. Then he quickly transformed himself, one into the appearance of Ivli Yukimi and the other into the appearance of Yamato. They quietly sneaked out, hid behind the cover, and observed quietly. Not long after, Orochimaru appeared at the door.

At this moment, Orochimaru looked quite disheveled. He was dirty all over, and his usually pale face was stained with some blood. Only his beast-like eyes were still as cold and calm as ever.

Facing several Iburi tribe members with complicated expressions, Orochimaru just showed a confusing smile, looked at Wu Tai in front of him, and said calmly: "Gather all the tribe members first, I have something to say."

Amid the smoke, the Iburi tribe slowly emerged, with the leader, Iburi Gota, looking coldly at Orochimaru and saying, "Lord Orochimaru, can you tell me where those children went?"

When Orochimaru saw their expressions, he realized that this group of Ibulis seemed to have noticed something. He didn't care about their expressions at all. He just glanced around with his cold eyes and licked them. Licking lips.

"Where's Xuejian?"

Orochimaru possesses a secret technique that allows him to absorb the opponent's blood and thus possess the opponent's blood for a short period of time. The reason why he took a detour to find this group of Iburi people was to obtain their blood, possess the ability to turn into smoke, and thus escape from Konoha's pursuit.

The only limitation of this secret technique is that it needs to suck the blood of a child.

The blood of an adult might be enough, but the quality and duration are far from enough to support him to complete his escape plan. The only surviving child of the Ibli clan, Ibli Xuejian, is his only target.

Who woke these stupid guys up?
"Come out."

Orochimaru had no intention of wasting time talking to these Iburi people.

Just by turning their heads, the group of Ibri people felt a burning sensation on the back of their necks. The next moment, their entire bodies became numb and they could hardly move. Not to mention turning into smoke, even moving their bodies was extremely difficult!

"You!" Iburigota's eyes widened with anger, but the next moment Orochimaru mocked him and pinched his head with one hand, making him unable to move.

On Orochimaru's left hand, a small snake crawled out and wrapped around Ibrigota's neck, making a hissing sound.

"If you don't come out, I can't guarantee it."

Before Orochimaru could finish his words, a kunai flew towards him.

In the distance, Hyuga Yuzuru, who transformed into Yamato, rushed towards him silently, but Orochimaru only narrowed his eyes: "Aka is not right. If it is really Aka, he will only use Wood Release as the first choice. So, who is it?"

Orochimaru tilted his head, smiling a little scary: "So, are you still going to hide?" He waved his hand, and small snakes crawled out from his hand. Their target was a group of Iburi people who were difficult to resist.

Having lost the ability to turn into smoke, many of the Ibuli tribe members have no strength to do anything at all, not to mention that their bodies are a little weak at the moment.

"If you do this, I'm afraid you won't be able to see Xuejian again."

Hinata Yuzuru had no choice but to make a sound. At the same time, at the moment when the transformation technique was released, blue light was already floating in his fists, and he blasted Soft Fist chakra from a distance towards Orochimaru.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, quickly forming seals with his hands, and said in a hoarse voice with interest: "It's you."

"Are you interested?" Orochimaru didn't finish his words before he had already formed seals with his hands. A huge python appeared in front of him. While blocking the gentle fist chakra, he still appeared behind Hinata Yuzuru without anyone noticing. His neck stretched and contracted like rubber, and his head flew up and bit towards Hinata Yuzuru's neck.

"without thanks."

"Back to the days!"

Hinata Yuzuru just answered Orochimaru's unfinished words, and then waved his hands.

Orochimaru's head avoided Kaiten's chakra vortex, but the lightning exploding behind him made him look sideways slightly.

"Rachel!"

Kakashi's silver hair danced wildly, and the three magatama of his red Sharingan spun rapidly. The piercing cry of lightning was restrained in his palm, turning into a dull electric explosion.

Orochimaru's eyes were cold, and at the moment his head was far away from his body, his whole body strangely became limp like plasticine.

A huge snake poked its head out of his mouth disgustingly, then turned its head and bit Kakashi who was coming at it aggressively, intending to die together with him.

Kakashi had no choice but to use Raikiri to smash the python's head into two pieces of charcoal, then flipped over and landed next to Hinata Yuzuru.

Orochimaru then slowly walked out from the shadows. It turned out that he never used his real body to enter the tree hole from beginning to end, but used a shadow clone to deceive the people of the Iburi tribe.

Orochimaru's body, which looked like plasticine, suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke with a bang. At the same time, several detonating tags slowly fell to the ground in the air, but they were not detonated by him.

He even placed detonating talismans on his shadow clones in advance, preparing specifically for dealing with large-scale enemies.

There was no explosion at this time. Perhaps it was also for the sake of the Ibuli tribe. Orochimaru made up his mind. If he couldn't find the little devil Yukimi, he would first suck the blood of these Ibuli adults. Relax the physical injuries, and then use the incomplete aerosol to run as far as you can.

Facing Hyuga Yuzuru's white eyes, he just raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes showing both admiration and a hint of greed: "As expected of a genius from the Hyuga clan. Unfortunately, he is from a branch family."

Orochimaru's bewitching words carried a terrifying power: "How about it, do you want to come with me? Perhaps, I have the power to change your caged bird, and your father will not let the main family directly activate the caged bird to kill you."

"I'm sorry, but I have no intention of becoming your guinea pig, and I don't like gambling."

Hinata Yuzuru smiled slightly, and the voice under the mask said with a gentle smile: "Senior Orochimaru, he doesn't look good at the moment."

"What a pity." Orochimaru tilted his head and gave up these ridiculous thoughts.

He folded his hands in front of him, and it was hard to tell how badly he was injured. It seemed that what Hyuga Yuzuru said was "not good" was just an illusion. "I didn't call for reinforcements in advance, I didn't set up an ambush, and I didn't even tell Kakashi in advance that it was just a shadow clone of mine. Hyuga Yuzuru, tell me your goal."

It is always easier for smart people to communicate.

Hinata Yuzuru held down Kakashi, whose eyes were full of murderous intent, and said leisurely: "Senior Orochimaru, how about making a deal?"
