I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

He didn't want to die an unknown death.

As he was thinking, he suddenly sensed a strange yet familiar presence.

A person with long, flowing hair and a spiky hairstyle appeared before the fog.

Orochimaru was clearly not far away in the mist.

However, the other party acted as if they hadn't noticed Orochimaru at all.

Orochimaru also took advantage of this opportunity to hide.

The one who came was naturally Tobirama Senju.

As for why Tobirama Senju came...

Mainly, he did something to Kitahara Kaede.

Used to sense Kitahara Kaede's location.

He wanted to leave before Kitahara Kaede got too close.

Chapter 399 The Troublemaker - Orochimaru, Desperate to Save His Master!

However, it seems that some of the measures he took went wrong.

Because, for a period of time before that.

He couldn't sense Kitahara Kaede's location at all.

At first, he thought that Kitahara Kaede had discovered something.

However, with the appearance of the signal.

Tobirama Senju clearly knew that Kitahara Kaede had not discovered it.

Instead, the other party entered a strange space.

Or perhaps they left the ninja world and went to a very far place.

Otherwise, Tobirama Senju would have been able to sense it.

In Tobirama Senju's view, it was impossible for Kitahara Kaede to leave the ninja world.

So he silently chose the latter for Kitahara Kaede.

Kitahara Kaede entered a strange space.

His signal was cut off.

Despite some curiosity.

However, the signal that Tobirama Senju sensed earlier was very stable.

They didn't investigate anything further.

Until just now.

The signal started to become unstable again.

And it's not just for a while, it's all the time.

This indicates that Kitahara Kaede is in an extremely unstable region.

Kitahara Kaede found herself in such an environment.

Tobirama Senju thought the other party had encountered some kind of danger.

So I used the location tracking to get here.

The location is sometimes there and sometimes it isn't.

Therefore, it took Tobirama Senju some time to arrive.

As for why Orochimaru wasn't found...

There are quite a few reasons for that.

After suffering a blow from Kitahara Kaede.

Tobirama Senju began to study the youngsters who had gained this opportunity.

Naruto, Hinata, and the others worked tirelessly day and night to improve their strength.

He, on the other hand, studies these little creatures.

Of course, this only applies to these tasks.

Tobirama Senju wouldn't need to expend that much energy.

As for the other tasks...

That is, the special training methods of many Kage-level and Super Kage in Konoha.

This is the huge mess that Kitahara Kaede once threw at him.

However, Tobirama Senju was more willing to take the blame.

This double burden is exhausting.

Therefore, when Tobirama Senju arrived here, he did not immediately discover that Orochimaru was also there.

After Tobirama Senju arrived at the mist.

After waiting for a while.

After confirming that Kitahara Kaede's signal was indeed present in the fog.

Without hesitation, I went inside.

In fact, Tobirama Senju didn't know why he went in.

Perhaps it's because of the significant mental strain.

So my head feels a little foggy.

Or perhaps they were worried that Kitahara Kaede wouldn't see his achievements.

In short, Tobirama Senju would never have gone in because he was worried about Kaede Kitahara.

Because, for Tobirama Senju, it was a loss of face.

That meant taking his life.

Kitahara Kaede, on the other hand, carried out the former's actions multiple times.

Therefore, Tobirama Senju discovered that Kaede Kitahara was in trouble.

Then there's the basis for rescuing Kitahara Kaede.

It's not simply about rescuing the other party.

Instead, it was after rescuing the other person.

Then deliver an even heavier blow to the opponent.

Whether it can be achieved depends on whether Tobirama Senju is capable of doing so.

Orochimaru, who had already hidden himself, met Tobirama Senju again after he entered the mist.

He walked out with a wary expression.

He looked at the cloud of mist.

He murmured something.

"Is this a gift from the Fifth Hokage?"

He suddenly became suspicious.

Because of the sudden appearance of Tobirama Senju.

Orochimaru was unfamiliar with the other party.

It's quite normal to think of Tobirama Senju as the so-called gift-giver.

Therefore, Orochimaru naturally assumed that...

Kitahara Kaede is caught in a huge conspiracy.

So, should he go in or not?

Orochimaru suddenly felt anxious.

Should we go in or not?

After going through a series of internal struggles.

Orochimaru finally made a move.

He ultimately decided to go in.

Of course, Orochimaru is not a reckless person.

Before going in, he first sent a distress message to the many Kage-level figures in Konoha.

And a simple coordinate system.

Because this place is not far from Konoha.

So, it shouldn't take too long for those guys to get here.

Orochimaru went in first to scout ahead.

If we're scouting ahead, nothing strange should happen.

Thinking about it, Orochimaru suddenly felt a little relieved.

After all, those words were partly Orochimaru's way of comforting himself.

I sorted out my thoughts.

Orochimaru started to move.

First, use ninjutsu to summon a giant snake.

The giant serpent's body was wrapped around his body.

Leave the head outside.

Then, he left a note reminding the others.

They then entered the fog directly.

Unfortunately, Orochimaru's plan, which he believed to be foolproof, was thwarted.

Ultimately, a major mistake occurred.

Because Orochimaru simply viewed the mist as a simple fog.

Little did they know, the fog had previously caused Tsukikawa Issho to be extremely anxious and frustrated.

So, after Orochimaru entered with his snake body bound.

The snake's body disintegrated the moment it came into contact with the mist.

Of course, Orochimaru entered the mist.

I understand now.

But, we're already inside.

It's too late to regret it now.

After all, he's trapped inside now too.

Meanwhile, Kitahara Kaede, who was facing Tsukikawa Isshiki's image in the fog, was unaware of this.

Tobirama Senju and Orochimaru have entered the mist.

Moreover, Tobirama Senju and Orochimaru's motivations were remarkably similar.

That is, everyone wants to bring Kitahara Kaede out.

However, Tobirama Senju wanted to keep Kitahara Kaede.

So I can show off in front of Kitahara Kaede later.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, was worried that Tobirama Senju, who had entered earlier, might pose a threat to Kitahara Kaede.
