Naruto the Genius

Chapter 178 Top Secret Mission
Even a strong man like Orochimaru was basically completely suppressed by Naruto's captain. In order to avoid being caught up by Naruto, Kabuto and Orochimaru started to run away quickly. On the way, Kabuto also set traps from time to time, hoping to slow down the speed of Naruto and others' pursuit. But Orochimaru, who was moving on the ground, was still not as fast as Sai, who was flying in the air. Using the Super Beast Fake Painting, Sai flew very fast and soon caught up with Orochimaru.

Seeing Sai appear, Kabuto and Orochimaru immediately became alert. It was not because of Sai's strength, but because Orochimaru was most worried that Naruto and others would also appear. Sai landed and stood in front of Orochimaru and Kabuto. Kabuto lit up the chakra blade in his hand and said, "Are you the only one catching up? You alone are far from enough."

Sai said: "I was sent by Lord Danzo, and I have something to give to Lord Orochimaru." Sai took out an envelope from his bag.

A snake stretched out from Orochimaru's arm, and he took the envelope from Sai's hand with suspicion. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kabuto suddenly moved behind Sai and firmly controlled Sai. Sai did not resist at all, and was directly pressed to the ground by Kabuto, and a lot of things in his bag fell out. Orochimaru sneered twice and said, "It was that old guy Danzo who sent you here. You have been fighting for so long, and you are still alive?"

From Orochimaru's words, it can be heard that although he and Danzo had some cooperation before, the relationship between the two can never be described as good. Although there have been many cooperations before, it was just a relationship of mutual benefit. Sai, who was pressed to the ground, said: "Lord Orochimaru, please take a look at the contents of the envelope first. I came here with sincerity this time."

Orochimaru said, "If you can't satisfy me, you know the result." Then, Orochimaru slowly opened the envelope and took a quick look. It seemed that he was satisfied with the contents of the envelope, and Orochimaru did not launch an attack. Sai said, "Danzo-sama sent me here specifically in the hope of cooperating with Orochimaru-sama."

Orochimaru thought for a while and said, "Kabuto, let him go." Kabuto Yakushi asked in confusion, "Why?" Orochimaru said, "You don't need to know the reason. I trust you. However, if you do anything suspicious, I will kill you at any time." Kabuto let go of Sai and said, "You'd better be honest, otherwise you know the result." Although they let go of Sai, it can be seen that they do not trust Sai at all, but Sai still followed Orochimaru and the others.

……

Captain Yamato led Naruto and Sakura to track them. The main purpose was not to find Orochimaru, but to find Orochimaru's base and Sasuke. Captain Yamato followed Orochimaru closely with a Wood Style clone, while he kept a distance from Naruto and Sakura and followed Orochimaru's footsteps. As they walked, they suddenly found a bag in front of them, which was Sai's stuff.

Sakura walked over, picked it up, looked at it carefully and said, "Yes, it is Sai's stuff. If it can be found in this place, it can be said that Sai is likely to have betrayed." Captain Yamato looked very regretful about Sakura's judgment, which was considered as tacit agreement. Sakura began to look through Sai's stuff and found that the remaining things were basically some common things used by ninjas. There was only one thing that seemed a little special, that was Sai's picture book, which Sakura had asked to borrow from him but he refused.

For Sai, this album should be considered very important, but now it is thrown here. Sakura said: "It seems that something must have happened in this place, otherwise Sai's things would not be thrown here casually." Captain Yamato and Naruto both agreed. Sakura opened the album. After a rough look, Sakura felt that there were some strange patterns on it, but there was nothing unusual. After thinking about it carefully, she found that she had flipped from both sides to the middle. There were two boys on the front and back covers, a boy with white hair and a boy with black hair. Flipping from the cover to the middle, it was found that the two boys had been fighting with different opponents and seizing their weapons. As the album was turned page by page, it could be found that their opponents were getting stronger and stronger.

It seems to be telling the story of two young boys, two boys who constantly fight against enemies and become stronger. But strangely, the middle page is missing, so people can't see the ending of the story. And this page is often the most important in a picture album of this form. Sakura repeatedly flipped through the picture album, but still couldn't understand the meaning.

Captain Yamato seemed to understand a little bit as he watched Sakura flipping through the picture album and nodded, "It is said that the Root has very high requirements for ninjas. Not only must they have excellent talents, but they must also have psychological requirements. Have you heard of the ninja village called the Blood Mist Village?" Sakura and Naruto nodded. Not to mention Naruto, even Sakura had heard of this a long time ago.

Captain Yamato continued, "In this blood mist village, if you want to become a ninja, there is one most difficult hurdle. You must kill the ninjas from your own village, that is, your companions. Many ninjas cannot pass this last hurdle and cannot become ninjas. It is said that this bad habit also exists in the roots of Konoha. If I am not mistaken, the final outcome will probably be a duel between the two, a duel that will last until one of them dies."

Captain Yamato's face was very heavy when he said this. Sakura found this behavior even more difficult to understand. They were obviously companions from the same village, but they wanted to kill each other. It was really difficult to accept. Sakura put the album away. She seemed to have some understanding of Sai. No wonder Sai had that expression all day long. Although Naruto knew about this kind of thing a long time ago, he didn't care too much about Danzo's affairs.

Captain Yamato said: "Instead of all this, we should hurry up and chase Orochimaru. If we don't chase him, we will probably lose Orochimaru's trail." Several people nodded and continued to chase forward.

Along the way, there were still traps set by Orochimaru and Kabuto. It was obvious that Orochimaru also knew that someone was following him. Most of these traps were very well laid, and Captain Yamato almost fell into them twice. However, such traps could only play a slight blocking role at most, and traps were of little use to ninjas of this level.

After a long period of tracking, Naruto and his companions finally approached Orochimaru's base. They searched around the base repeatedly, but still couldn't find the entrance. In order to conceal his presence, Orochimaru also deployed very carefully, and the entrance to the base was extremely hidden.
