The moment the thought crossed her mind, Mutou Saika was startled by herself! How could she have such a dark idea? Kanako had just been encouraging her!

She sat up abruptly, suppressing the complex thoughts in her mind, then gripped the shuriken in her hand and threw it with all her might at the enemy in front of Kanako!

The shuriken flew out with a gust of wind. Although its power was only average, it still forced the enemy to parry, buying Kanako some time.

"puff!"

Water gushed out of Kanako's mouth! Although it wasn't large-scale, it was a success.

The enemy on the other side tried to dodge, but the attack range of the Water Waves could be adjusted by the caster. Even if he tried his best to dodge, he was still swept by the water waves and fell backward.

Seizing the opportunity, Muto Saika threw her last few shuriken at the enemy.

"Thank you, Shika!" Kanako quickly got up and returned to Shika's side, expressing her gratitude.

Muto Saika shook her head: "You're welcome."

"I was the one who dragged the team down from the start."

Having defeated one enemy, the pressure on the group hadn't eased much. They had only taken down a genin; the real trouble lay with the enemy's chunin. In the chaotic situation, Konoha hadn't yet gained the upper hand, and their predicament remained dangerous.

"Caixiang, do you have any more explosive tags?" Kanako suddenly asked.

Muto Saika was taken aback: "There's one last one."

What are you going to do?

Kanako glanced at the two Chunin engaged in battle. They were incredibly fast, and their own Chunin, Fujikawa, was heavily injured and on the verge of defeat. They couldn't help, and their chakra was insufficient to unleash ninjutsu. She said, "Chūnin Fujikawa isn't going to hold on much longer."

"Be prepared to take a few down with you."

Muto Saika quickly rummaged through her ninja tool pouch, then took out an explosive tag and handed it to Kanako. Kanako was about to take it when she suddenly froze in place.

"Caixiang, am I hallucinating?"

"Can you take a look at this for me?"

Muto Saika turned her head in confusion, and then she froze.

Following the direction of the two Chunin, a very familiar figure was steadily approaching in the middle of the battlefield.

nebula!

God Moon Nebula!

In an instant, both Muto Saika and Kanako had a huge gleam in their eyes.

They weren't sure if the Divine Moon Nebula could help them through their ordeal, but meeting on the battlefield was an unexpected joy nonetheless. The two even felt that even if they were to die, dying together was far better than dying alone.

The Iwagakure ninja wielded his long sword with lightning speed, his attacks fierce. He saw their movements, and after recognizing the explosive tags in their hands, he chuckled maliciously, "Heh heh~"

"Two ridiculous guys."

"Keep the explosive tags for yourselves!"

"Clang!!!" Gripping the long sword tightly with both hands, he struck and sent the heavily injured Chunin Tengchuan flying back into the group. The latter was no longer able to fight.

The Iwagakure ninja once again held his sword in one hand and formed a hand seal.

"Escape from Earth·Burial in the Earth!"

Four earthen walls rose from around Kanako and her companions, quickly ascending to a height of three meters, and then began to encircle them.

Heights that were once easily jumped over now seem insurmountable due to exhaustion or injury.

The Iwagakure chunin revealed a cruel expression, seemingly anticipating the enemy's fate of being buried alive in the next moment.

Just then, he suddenly noticed the sound of wind behind him.

In an instant, a strong sense of danger rose from the bottom of his heart. With the hairs on the back of his neck standing on end, he did not turn around. He swung his long sword backward with one hand and pounced forward like a rat.

Chapter 109 Orochimaru Appears

"Clang!~"

With a loud bang and his arm going numb, the Iwagakure Chunin successfully blocked the attack coming from behind.

But he felt no relief whatsoever; instead, he grew increasingly fearful.

The wind is approaching!

Even as he scurried around like a rat, disregarding his image, the voices behind him still followed closely.

"Bang bang bang!!!" He ran frantically on the ground with both feet, and if he could, he would even use all four limbs to escape the pursuit behind him.

My gut feeling of danger is growing stronger!

He dared not turn around! From the brief clash just now, he knew that the newcomer's strength was definitely no less than his own.

Run! Run!

He channeled chakra as if it were free, rushing it into his legs to speed up his escape while simultaneously forming hand seals.

Earth Release: Rock Wall!

In an instant, an irregular wall made of rock and soil rapidly rose from the ground!

The rock wall rose right behind his heels. As the rock wall rose, he used the momentum to leap forward a greater distance. At the same time, the rising rock wall would block the pursuing enemies.

The set of movements was fluid and graceful, giving the Iwagakure chunin a greater sense of security.

After leaping far ahead, he turned around in mid-air, gripped his long sword, and tried to see clearly who was chasing him.

Before us rises a towering rock face.

There was no one around.

Suddenly, the ninja from the Hidden Stone Cave seemed to sense something and looked up.

Under the firelight-lit night, a man with exquisitely beautiful features descended from the sky, waving his right hand.

He saw a crescent moon.

……

A mountaintop several miles from the camp.

Just as night fell, several figures were already standing here.

The leader, dressed in a black robe that covered his white skin, had two unusual eyes that silently gazed at the camp.

As the night deepened, the man remained motionless.

After a long while, the person behind him spoke up: "Lord Orochimaru, is it possible that the enemy won't come?"

From beneath the black robe, Orochimaru's hoarse voice rang out: "Whether you come or not, we'll just wait."

"It will come eventually."

The person behind him said, "But since neither the visible nor the hidden sentries have any information about us, the casualties will likely be very high."

"Are you really not going to inform them?"

Orochimaru asked, "Notify them? What if the enemy notices the sentry's unusual reaction and abandons their attack?"

Can you take responsibility?

The person behind him immediately fell silent.

Orochimaru asked, "Have you taken care of the arrangements?"

"It's all taken care of. These past few days, all the water used in the camp has been mixed with the medicine powder, without any omissions."

Orochimaru said, "That's good."

"Just wait, wait for the slaughter to begin."

Moonlight deflection.

At a certain moment, a beam of red signal flame shot into the sky.

Orochimaru narrowed his snake-like eyes.

"There are still people who can send out signals."

"As expected, there are useless people everywhere, and Iwagakure is no exception."

As soon as the signal was sent, the camp in the distance erupted in commotion.

The clamor of the crowd, the flashes of the explosion, the cries of the wounded and the injured.

Orochimaru watched silently, his eyes filled with coldness, not pity.

Time passed little by little.

The frequency of intense fires and large-scale ninjutsu attacks decreased. The roars and screams coming from the camp grew more intense, and they could even faintly smell blood in the wind.

"Lord Orochimaru, isn't it about time?"

Orochimaru watched silently.

The chaotic camp was reflected in his vertical pupils, allowing him to clearly see the situation on the battlefield.

"Not enough."

"The Iwagakure ninja's stamina has not been completely exhausted."

after awhile.

"Lord Orochimaru, what now?"

"Wait a little longer."

At one moment, Orochimaru's brows suddenly furrowed.

In the distance, he spotted a familiar figure.

The ninja behind him looked up as well. But his eyesight wasn't as good as Orochimaru's, so he took out a telescope to examine it closely.

Soon, an exclamation rang out: "Asuma, the son of the Third Master!?"

Orochimaru's expression was displeased.

His brows furrowed even more as he watched Asuma and the other two approach the Chunin's battle group.

"A reckless fellow," he commented.
