In Konoha: My canned food shop is very popular in the ninja world

Chapter 166: Orochimaru’s interest, frustrated Asuma, Root Ninja: Orochimaru did it?
"Master Danzo, I failed to intercept that guy after he left, and I felt that he was in a very strange state."

At the end, the Root ninja's voice was filled with hidden annoyance.

You know, they are in the same team with him.

This is what happened.

Hearing this guy's words, Danzo stared coldly at the Root ninja who was reporting in front of him.

Is there such a thing?
It’s simply baffling!
"Since he dared to resist, someone must have contacted him behind the scenes."

Danzo said coldly: "It is very likely that the guy who attacked our Root base before."

Having said this, Danzo slowly stood up.

The shadows lengthened in the dim light, as if blending into his pressure.

Danzo turned his gaze to the core Root members standing next to him.

These people are all elites trained by him personally, they are well-trained and have extraordinary strength.

"Mobilize the team and take action immediately."

Danzo decisively issued an order in a sinister voice: "Be sure to capture him alive!"

"Also, see where this guy is going and notify the people outside the village to keep watch."

"Yes!"

Hearing Danzo's words, several Root ninjas quickly responded and exchanged silent looks with each other.

They knew very well that Danzo's decisions were always decisive and ruthless, and this time there was no room for wiggle.

Danzo glanced at them, with a cold gleam in his eyes: "Remember, don't take it lightly, the Hyuga clan also needs to arrange for manpower."

At this point, Danzo continued in a low voice: "We must capture him alive!"

After hearing Danzo's repeated instructions, the Root's elite troops followed his orders and marched away with vigorous and swift steps.

Their figures moved quickly in the dark passage, as if turning into silent black shadows.

Danzo followed their backs with his eyes deep and cold.

If possible, he would also like to go out.

But he was afraid that he would be attacked again.

Even if he goes out now, he will use the art of clones to do it.

But he believed that Ding San would not be able to escape from his grasp!
Under Danzo's command, the Root ninjas were quickly mobilized.

They each left the Root base, holding weapons and looking alert, forming an invisible hunting net in Konoha Village.

Danzo's plan was extremely careful. He took all possibilities into consideration to ensure that the guy had nowhere to escape.

The formation of the Root Ninjas changed quickly and orderly, operating like a precise machine.

Their figures shuttled through the shadows of Konoha Village, searching unscrupulously.

"Lord Danzo!"

At this time, another Root ninja quickly ran over and reported respectfully; "The Hokage sent someone to ask us who we have arrested. If possible, please go to the Hokage's office."

Having said that, he briefly explained the situation.

Hearing this, Danzo's face darkened: "Tell him that I am cleaning up the house and don't have time to go now."

Damn Sarutobi, he actually wrongly accused him of arresting someone.

"Yes."

Hearing that Danzo had no intention of continuing to speak, this Root ninja immediately took the order and left.

Danzo watched this guy leave with murderous intent in his eyes.

He was referring to what happened during this period.

Now, even though he is in good health, he doesn't dare to walk casually on the streets of Konoha Village.

If he doesn't find out the murderer behind the scenes, he can only live in the base of the roots.

Being forced to be in the base at the root and being in the base at the root voluntarily are two different things!

Now that he has a clue, he doesn't believe that he can't catch the murderer behind the scenes!
When Danzo was thinking this, the Root Ninjas went out directly and quickly tracked down everything in Konoha Village.

This scene also alarmed many ninjas.

"What is that old man Danzo doing again?"

In the territory of the Hyuga clan.

Hinata Hiashi looked strange when he received the words from his family's assassin.

Just let the Root Ninja go out openly.

In broad daylight, who are they searching for?

"Probe again and report again."

Hinata Hiashi continued to give orders.

Not only Hyuga Hiashi was given the order, even Kakashi noticed the actions of the Anbu ninja and frowned slightly.

The second round of the Chunin Exam has already alarmed even the Root?

It shouldn't be.

From what he knew about the Root, Danzo wasn't that concerned.

But the next second, Kakashi didn't care.

"Forehead."

the other side.

Yuhi Kurenai, who was walking to the door of Ichiraku Ramen, stopped in shock when she saw a Root ninja passing by her quickly.

what's the situation.

Why are the Root ninjas moving out so openly?

Find someone?

Who to look for?

Almost instantly, Xihi Kurenai gave up the idea of ​​opening the jar.

After she woke up, she took a shower and prepared to go to Lin Mo's jar shop to open the jars.

Unexpectedly, I encountered this situation not long after I went out.

The Root ninja seemed to have gone mad.

"Now is not a good time to open the can."

For a moment, Xi Rihong looked sad.

It seems we can only wait a little longer.

Thinking of this, Yuhi Kurenai walked into Ichiraku Ramen and ordered a bowl of ramen.

And far away.

Asuma Sarutobi looked at Kurenai Yuhi's figure with a complicated and sad expression.

What I saw last night is still vivid in my mind.

He really wanted to find Xi Ri Hong to ask what the relationship between that person and Xi Ri Hong was.

But when he thought about possibly offending Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi's face became sad. Finally, he sighed deeply and turned away.

I should talk to Shikamaru and the others.

Let Shikamaru talk to the team led by Yuhi Kurenai and others, and find out some information indirectly.

Shikamaru and the others are still in the Forest of Death during the Chunin Exam.

He's going there too.

The team led by Xiuri Kurenai not only passed the test, but also broke the record, making him feel that they were one step behind Xiuri Kurenai.

At this moment.

Outside Konoha Village.

The breeze blew through the branches, making a rustling sound.

The root shadow that turned into a real person walked quickly and swiftly in the shadows, as if blending into the surrounding shadows.

Now he feels very dangerous and many people are looking for him, so he thinks about leaving.

However, when it was about to pass through the dense forest, the atmosphere around it suddenly became tense.

I saw several figures quietly surrounding from all directions.

The Root Ninjas, holding weapons and with grim expressions, formed an invisible hunting circle, locking the shadow that had turned into a real person in the center.

Everyone's movements were coordinated and quick, obviously the result of careful planning and deployment.

"Danzo-sama's order, lock on to the target and capture him alive!"

One of the Root ninjas whispered an order and with a gesture, the other ninjas immediately took action and quickly formed hand seals.

"Boom!"

"Shhhhhh!"

In an instant, countless kunai and shurikens shot out from all directions, covering the shadow of the real person like dense raindrops.

Shadow didn't have time to hesitate.

He dodged quickly, his figure like a ghost, nimbly avoiding the attacks.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

The blades and kunai drew cold light in the air.

The shadow that turned into a real person dodged as fast as lightning.

After a few rolls, he quickly counterattacked with several wind-style ninjutsu.

The howling wind stirred the leaves, forcing the surrounding Root Ninjas to temporarily take shelter.

"When did Ding San become so proficient in wind-style ninjutsu?"

Seeing this scene, a familiar Root ninja cursed inwardly and suddenly increased the pace of his attack.

"Capture him first."

As several Root ninjas communicated with each other, they quickly took action.

"Boom!"

Fire Release Ninjutsu and Lightning Release Ninjutsu appeared, and the sounds of explosions and flashes of lightning continued in the woods.

The Root Ninjas worked together in tacit cooperation to continuously suppress the shadow that had turned into a real person, gradually forcing it into danger.

Because they want to capture them alive, their speed is very slow.

Otherwise, it would be easy to kill the target.

Although the shadow that turned into a real person was very powerful, it gradually seemed unable to cope with the siege.

Although his moves and ninjutsu could imitate the actions of the Root Ninja, his experience was limited after all. In addition, the rhythm of the battle was firmly controlled by the opponent, so his reaction was somewhat slow.

However, after just a few confrontations, its movements began to become stiff.

He was even hit multiple times, with obvious scars on his shoulders and calves.

"Boost."

Upon seeing this, a leading Root ninja gave a cold order, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and the speed of the hand seals suddenly increased.

Several Root ninjas reacted immediately and formed hand seals.

"Boom!" A series of earth and wind ninjutsu intertwined together to form a tight encirclement ninjutsu, which directly forced the shadow that had turned into a real person into a dead end.

The shadow that turned into a real person was unable to dodge and was instantly trapped between the earth wall and the wind blade.

"Crash!"

The next second, several chains shot out and locked his limbs tightly.

For a moment, his face changed drastically and he struggled desperately.

But as he struggled, he could only feel himself sinking deeper and deeper, and the pressure from all around him was like an iron clamp that suppressed his movements.

The Root ninjas were closing in, ruthlessly preparing to capture her once and for all.

"call."

However, just when the shadow that had turned into a real person was about to be completely controlled, a strange cold light suddenly flashed beside it.

Accompanied by a cold breath.

In an instant, a huge snake shadow suddenly jumped out from the bushes next to it, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced directly at the Root Ninja!
"what?!"

The sudden situation shocked the Root Ninjas, and a trace of astonishment and disbelief flashed in their eyes.

Where did the big snake come from?

"Is this the murderer that Danzo-sama is looking for?"

The Root Ninja thought of something and his eyes turned cold instantly.

He had also experienced the bombing of the Root base and the attack on Lord Danzo before.

The reason why Lord Danzo arrested this guy was because he suspected that he was related to the murderer behind the scenes!

However, they did not have time to think about it. The snake was extremely fast and powerful. It bit the weapon of one of the Root Ninjas and threw him away, smashing him hard to the ground.

"Back off first!"

The Root ninjas were shocked by this sudden change and retreated immediately.

"It's Orochimaru!"

The next second, a Root ninja who was about to continue his attack instantly recognized the source of the snake shadow, his face suddenly changed, and he was filled with shock and anger.

"what!"

"Orochimaru?"

"how come!"

No matter how much they thought about it, they never expected that such a dangerous existence would appear here.

It was really unexpected that Orochimaru, the traitor ninja of Konoha Village, would suddenly intervene in this matter.

The most important thing is that Orochimaru shouldn't interfere.

Orochimaru's figure slowly emerged from the shadows, with a sneer on his face and eyes full of mockery and contempt.

Raising his hand and gently patting the giant snake beside him, Orochimaru sneered, "It's really lively. Danzo sent you guys to catch this guy. He thinks too highly of him. Does he hold some secrets?"

Originally, Orochimaru was planning to leave here and observe Uzumaki Naruto.

Unexpectedly, I encountered such an interesting scene.

Danzo actually sent Root ninjas to capture a Root ninja in broad daylight.

Or capture him alive.

He was very curious, wondering if this guy had any secrets.

But aren’t those the only secrets of Danzo?

What else could there be?
But he decided to capture him first.

Anyway, we can negotiate with Danzo slowly later.

"It's your fault!"

The Root Ninja glared at him, his eyes filled with murderous intent and anger, even disbelief.

It shouldn't be Orochimaru.

How could Orochimaru possibly attack Lord Danzo?
However, facing the gaze of this Root ninja, Orochimaru didn't care at all.

Instead, he stared at the trapped, real-life shadow with admiration, as if he were looking at a particularly interesting work of art.

"Don't worry, I'm very interested in the person you captured, so I'm helping you."

Orochimaru chuckled softly, his tone cold and full of playful sarcasm.

As he was speaking, another big snake appeared around him.

The Root Ninjas had gloomy expressions and formed hand seals faster.

But facing such a powerful opponent, they couldn't help but feel fearful.

The two sides were on the verge of a fight, and the air was filled with tense murderous intent.

The joining of Orochimaru caused the originally one-sided roundup to instantly get out of control, and the Root ninjas were forced to adjust their formation and confront Orochimaru again.

At this moment, the shadow that had turned into a real person had taken advantage of the chaos to break free from his restraints, quickly retreated, and stood vigilantly behind Orochimaru.

"Follow me for now. I am curious about what secrets you have of Danzo that would allow him to capture you."

Seeing the shadow transformed into a real person, Orochimaru tilted his head slightly and chuckled, his voice carrying an irresistible temptation.

Although the shadow that turned into a real person didn't understand, it just stood there quietly.

He has realized that he can't leave here.

And the guy in front of him can help him.

"Go back."

The next second, Orochimaru looked at the Root Ninja in front of him and spoke slowly: "Tell Danzo that I took his people away first and will bring them back to him."

"impossible!"

Hearing this, the Root ninja looked angry.

Even though Orochimaru is in danger, Lord Danzo's orders are the most important.

But when they thought of the danger posed by Orochimaru, they seemed to be no match for him at all. They gritted their teeth for a moment, but could do nothing.

"Do it!"

Finally, the Root ninjas gritted their teeth and launched a joint attack without hesitation.

In an instant, several Root ninjas quickly formed hand seals, and various ninjutsu swept towards Orochimaru like a storm.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"

"Thunder Escape·Earth Walk!"

"Boom!"

Flames, strong winds, and lightning intertwined into a terrifying energy web, which exploded with a loud bang.

The surrounding trees were instantly burnt, the ground was cracked, smoke and dust filled the air, and flames flickered.

Several Root ninjas took the opportunity to quickly approach the real shadow, intending to capture it in the chaos.

Their purpose was only to delay Orochimaru and take people away, not to fight with Orochimaru.

Seeing this, a hint of disdain flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.

With a sneer, he twisted his body like a snake and easily avoided most of the attacks.

Facing the overwhelming attack of ninjutsu, Orochimaru simply turned slightly, flicked his fingers, and instantly used the unmarked ninjutsu.

"Crash!"

Several huge snake shadows rushed out from the ground, opened their bloody mouths and bit towards the Root Ninjas with ferocious force.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Root Ninjas immediately changed their formation and quickly performed defensive ninjutsu, but they were still beaten back by the snake shadow and could not get close at all.

Orochimaru's movements were as fast as a ghost, as if he was dancing on the battlefield, and his eyes revealed the coldness and enjoyment of the battle.

"Come again!"

The Root Ninjas gritted their teeth. Although they suffered repeated setbacks, they did not dare to have the slightest thought of retreating.

A ninja suddenly jumped up, and the kunai in his hand pierced Orochimaru's throat with a cold light.

The other two ninjas used earth jutsu and water jutsu respectively to attack from both sides, blocking Orochimaru's retreat.

"madness."

Seeing this, Orochimaru shook his head slightly, his expression cold and a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

Then he formed a seal with one hand, and a water style water prison technique was quickly formed, trapping several Root ninjas.

The water was as hard as steel, freezing their movements instantly. No matter how they struggled, they could not escape.

"Orochimaru Haihu pads his hands to form a seal?"

Seeing this scene, the Root Ninja's eyelids twitched violently.

I've never heard that Orochimaru could do this.

"This body is such a hassle."

At the same time, Orochimaru, who easily avoided all attacks, was not excited at all, but sighed.

As he sighed, his footsteps moved silently between the ninjutsu as if he was sliding.

Suddenly, he waved his hand lightly, and a snake bite technique quickly attacked the Root ninja in the front.

The ninja had no way to avoid it and was entangled by the giant snake, and was thrown out.

With a "bang", he hit the tree trunk heavily, blood gushing out of his mouth.

"Do you want to continue?"

Orochimaru sneered, his eyes full of mockery and contempt.

He made no secret of his disdain for these Root Ninjas, and his relaxed attitude was particularly glaring.
"Damn Orochimaru!"

"No match at all."

Several Root ninjas were shocked and retreated one by one, exchanging angry and helpless looks with each other.

Orochimaru was able to easily resolve each of their attacks.

Not only that, the opponent's counterattack was swift and deadly, leaving them completely unable to defend themselves.

The shadow that turned into a real person was also struggling in the melee.

It was acutely aware of the Root Ninjas' intentions to encircle it, and desperately dodged their attacks while mimicking their opponents' movements in order to protect itself.

Although its fighting ability is poor, in this situation, its instinct and desire to survive have stimulated powerful potential.

Seeing that the shadow that had turned into a real person was about to be captured again, Orochimaru appeared like a ghost and stood in front of the Root ninjas.

"Shh!"

A sharp Kusanagi sword suddenly appeared in Orochimaru's hand, and the sword flashed, heading straight for the Root ninja in the front.

The Root Ninja was startled and hurriedly defended himself, but was forced back by Orochimaru's swift attack. His body fell heavily to the ground, and he groaned in pain.

The offensive of the Root ninjas was suppressed in an instant, and their faces looked extremely ugly, yet helpless.

Orochimaru was far more powerful than they had imagined.

Even though they were the most elite troops under Lord Danzo, they seemed extremely vulnerable at this moment.

"You guys are not qualified enough to attack me."

Orochimaru sighed, "Do you still want to continue? If you continue, you will leave your lives behind, which is not good."
