Escape From Konoha

Chapter 684 Subdued

Leaving the border mountain between Tian Country and Iron Country, the three Shiraishi who rode on Lei Mingmaru's back did not return directly to the Oni Country, but kept flying towards the east.

When it was about to fly to the end of the forest, Lei Mingwan's speed slowed down a little under Shiraishi's order.

On the plain outside the forest in front, a town can be vaguely seen in the distance, with a dense population.

After the speed slowed down, Lei Mingwan changed from high-altitude flight to low-altitude flight. The distance from the ground was only tens of meters, and the forest below was clearly visible.

"What's your plan next? Do you want to go there with me to deal with the aftermath?"

On Lei Mingmaru's back, Shiraishi took the initiative to ask Sasuke.

"Is it to receive the power of Orochimaru?"

Sasuke asked suspiciously.

Shiraishi nodded, shook his head again and said: "There is this purpose, but there are more important things. That guy Orochimaru is not completely dead yet, I need to wipe out all the 'will' he scattered, so as to prevent future troubles forever. "

Sasuke's expression became surprised, as if he didn't react.

As if guessing that Sasuke would show such an expression, Shiraishi smiled and said: "White snake symbolizes regeneration. Orochimaru uses living body transformation to transform his body into a white snake with strong vitality. Although he can't achieve complete regeneration, he wants to It's not that easy to kill him. What's more, he still has a hand in the curse seal. In some of the strongholds he built, there are spare experimental subjects he used to revive his will."

"That rascal…"

Sasuke touched the curse mark on the back of his neck that had completely disappeared. After Orochimaru was dealt with, the curse mark on his body also disappeared.

Although I regret this, but after learning the fairy art, the curse seal has little effect on me, so I just regret it a little.

But now it seems that there are still many terrible traps in Orochimaru's curse seal, which have not been excavated yet.

"But how do you know such a thing?"

Sasuke looked at Shiraishi curiously.

The reincarnation ninjutsu and the curse seal can be said to be the secrets that Orochimaru painstakingly researched, and it is absolutely impossible to miss it.

Shiraishi seemed to be very familiar with Orochimaru's reincarnation ninjutsu and curse seal, which surprised Sasuke.

"I have been researching Orochimaru's reincarnation technique and curse seal these years. As long as it touches the most rooted field, then these ninjutsu have no secrets in front of me. Having said that, this guy It’s really troublesome to survive. That’s why I came here to deal with the follow-up in person. Apart from me, there is no one in the Kingdom of Ghosts who can completely cut off the vitality of Orochimaru.”

Shiraishi did not hide this.

The main purpose of his coming here is to take away Sasuke only secondly. What he really wants to do is to block all the escape routes of Orochimaru and completely wipe out this dangerous guy from the ninja world.

There is a very close relationship between Orochimaru and Akatsuki, and the contribution to the Akatsuki organization cannot be ignored. Resolving Orochimaru is equivalent to cutting off the arm of the Akatsuki organization, which is conducive to the arrangement of the Oni Nation for the follow-up plan.

After listening to Sasuke, he lost interest. The curse mark on his body has been solved by the man called "Indra" that Shiraishi said, so naturally he doesn't need to do anything about Orochimaru.

Moreover, he has personally experienced the strength of Orochimaru once before, and there is no need to do the same thing a second time.

"It's up to you, I'll just stop here."

Sensing several familiar auras in the forest, Sasuke stopped the Thunder Maru under his feet, and began to hover over the forest.

Naturally, Baishi sensed a few auras from the forest, so he just glanced at them and stopped paying attention.

"By the way, how do I find you after that? Or should I go back to the kingdom of ghosts?"

Sasuke suddenly turned around and asked.

Baishi pondered for a while, and responded: "If you are not in a hurry, you can stop in the small town ahead for two days. I can solve the matter here at noon the day after tomorrow. I will meet you then, and then Let’s go back to the ghost country together.”

"See you the day after tomorrow."

Sasuke nodded, turned his head, glanced at the forest below, jumped down, and disappeared into the forest.

On Lei Mingwan's back, only Shiraishi and Tian Yunu remained.

However, in the ground below, Baishi also sensed General Tu's aura, and after swallowing the data files in the stronghold, he quickly caught up.

General Tu's movement speed in the ground is no slower than Lei Mingwan's flying speed, even slightly faster, so Shiraishi is not worried that General Tu will fall behind.

"Let's go to the stronghold in the north and meet Kakashi."

Shiraishi gave an order, and Lei Mingmaru changed its orbit in the air without saying a word, glanced at Sasuke who fell into the forest, then retracted his gaze, and flew to the north with wings.

…

There were several figures running fast in the forest. Judging from their hasty and flustered expressions, it seemed that there was some huge terror behind them, making them dare not stop for a moment, and only cared about running for their lives.

They are the four people from Yinyin Village and Chongwu.

After confirming that the crisis was over, the group of five people stopped in an open space in the forest, leaning on a tree, and got a little chance to breathe.

"Damn it, who the **** is that guy? He cut off my two arms with a wind knife as soon as he came up. If we continue to entangle at that time, I'm afraid we will be in dire straits."

Kidomaru sat down on the ground, leaning his back on the tree trunk. He originally had six arms, but at this moment his right side lost two arms, resulting in only four arms left.

Although there are still arms that can be used, it will not be completely disabled, but the loss of strength is inevitable.

He gritted his teeth, grabbed the medical bandage, and continued to wrap it around the bleeding wound, where the bandage that had been wrapped before was completely stained red.

The other three of the four were also quite embarrassed, and the only one who was safe was Chong Wu.

He was neither injured nor out of breath. Judging by his appearance, he ran all the way down, as if he was very relaxed, and he didn't feel tired.

This is also related to his trying to avoid fighting, and before that, Sasuke reminded him that if someone attacks the stronghold, leave directly and don't fight.

Giving trust in Sasuke, Shigego fled the stronghold the moment the alarm sounded at the stronghold, and met at the place designated by Sasuke ahead.

As for Yinyin and the four of them, he happened to meet them on the way to escape.

Obviously, they couldn't resist the enemy attacking the stronghold, so they chose to abandon the stronghold and retreat tactically.

After all, the enemy's firepower is fierce. In that case, there is no way to join the rest of the people. Apart from death, the only way is to escape.

Not only them, Zhongwu also saw many people escape from the stronghold along the way.

"The other party is wearing a priestess costume, she must be a priestess from the kingdom of ghosts."

Tayuya grasped the clarinet in his hand, remembering what he said.

"Well, shrine maidens who know ninjutsu... are only available in that country. Hell, how come the ninjas from the country of ghosts appear here?"

As the strongest among the four, Zuo Jin angrily punched the tree next to him, gnashing his teeth, as if he was extremely angry about this matter.

Jirobo hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Is it okay for us to leave like this? People from the Kingdom of Ghosts raided the stronghold, and it is likely that they came for Master Orochimaru."

"The strength gap between us and her is too big. In that case, going up to fight is just a meaningless sacrifice. And I believe that she must not be the only one who came to attack the stronghold at that time. It is estimated that someone has sneaked in ahead of time. The most recent Where is the base?"

Zuo Jin suddenly raised his head, straightened his face, and asked.

"Zuo Jin, do you want to gather people from other strongholds, and then counterattack back?"

Kidomaru seemed to understand Sakon's plan.

"I have this idea. The previous retreat was a last resort. In that case, we could only flee and evacuate, but now we must call up more people and go back to commit crimes and meritorious deeds. Otherwise, Mr. Orochimaru will blame it, and none of us will have good fruit to eat." .”

Zuo Jin said so.

Although the previous escape was an expedient measure, it was impossible to really abandon that stronghold.

The other three of the four fell silent and agreed to Zuo Jin's proposal.

"I don't know what happened to Sasuke-sama at this time."

A worried look appeared on Tayuya's face at this moment.

When the stronghold was attacked at that time, all the Otogakure ninjas stationed there went out to meet the enemy.

As a result, under the fierce attack of the enemy, they quickly suffered a disastrous defeat.

In addition, the enemy deliberately blocked the entrance of the stronghold, so they had no room to retreat to the stronghold and make a tactical retreat. They had to hide in the mountains and forests to avoid unnecessary sacrifices.

And there is one more thing that worries Tayuya, that is, the timing of the Oni Nation's attack is too coincidental.

It happened to be the critical moment when Orochimaru held the reincarnation ceremony, which reminded Tayuya of some bad things.

"Hmph." Hearing this name, Zuo Kon felt extremely unhappy, and said with a sneer, "Stop thinking about the name of a dead person so much, Tayuya. Uchiha Sasuke has already been snatched by Master Orochimaru at this time." Take everything away. His fate of being taken away from him has long been doomed."

Compared with the sadness on Tayuya's face, Shigego, who was silently watching all this beside him, seemed very calm at that time, and was not hit by Zuo Jin's contemptuous words.

After beating Tayuya, Zuo Jin glanced at Chong Wu who was silent, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes.

"Hey, Shigego, where are you going next? Do you want to gather people with us and counterattack back? Following Uchiha Sasuke's arrogant and arrogant guy, how can it be more promising to continue to follow Master Orochimaru."

Zuo Jin's words are full of the meaning of wooing Shigego.

As a result, Chongwu just glanced at him lightly, just like a stone statue, with his eyes closed, standing there silent.

Zuo Jin saw that Chongwu ignored him, just closed his eyes and rested, his face suddenly sank, it was extremely difficult to see.

Sensing that the relationship between Sakon and Shigego was somewhat stiff, the pale Kidomaru tried to stand up from the ground, covered the wound of his broken arm, coughed and said, "Calm down, both of you, now is not the time for conflicts. The most important thing right now As for the matter, it is better to gather people as soon as possible to support Master Orochimaru. I am worried that if I go late, something may happen again there."

At this moment, an inappropriate voice came in, extremely cold:

"There's no need to do that kind of thing anymore, Kidomaru, it's over."

The sudden intrusion of the voice made Chong Wu, who closed his eyes and meditated, suddenly open his eyes, looking at the person coming, his pupils brightened slightly.

The rest of the people were stunned, and Tayuya and Jirobo were stunned first, then turned to look with joy.

"Sasuke-sama!?"

The person who appeared not far away and intervened in their conversation was Sasuke.

He was spotless at this time, walked slowly with a blank face, glanced at the faces of Chong Wu and the others, then stopped and stopped moving forward.

Seeing Sasuke appear, Zuo Jin's face became even more ugly, almost ashen.

Kidomaru glanced at Sasuke, thoughtful, as if secretly deducing something.

"Sasuke."

Among the crowd, the only one who is relatively calm is Zhongwu.

He has the closest relationship with Sasuke compared to the four of them.

He came to stand behind Sasuke, and faintly confronted the four of them to confirm his position.

And he also affirmed one thing at the same time, Orochimaru failed.

Sasuke standing here intact is the best proof.

As for the country of ghosts, it is likely that Sasuke invited reinforcements.

"Shigego, you bastard, do you want to betray Master Orochimaru?"

Zuo Jin wanted to accuse Chong Wu angrily, as if he was very dissatisfied with Chong Wu's betrayal.

"There is only a transaction between me and Orochimaru, not his subordinates, so there is no relationship of betrayal or not. And in the final analysis, you are just an inferior product created based on me."

Chongwu spoke calmly, telling the cruel fact that Zuojin felt extremely ashamed.

Before Sakin continued to question him angrily, Kidomaru, who was always known for his calmness, sighed, as if he had guessed something, staring at Sasuke full of seriousness and disbelief.

"Sasuke-sama, if I'm right, you appeared here safe and sound, is it because you defeated Oshemaru-sama?"

Kidomaru's words exploded in the ears of the other three of the four like a thunderbolt, and they stared at Sasuke with incredulous eyes.

Even Zuo Jin, who had been at odds with Sasuke, was too shocked to speak.

Regarding Kidomaru's question, Sasuke nodded unabashedly, and said in a calm tone: "That's right, Orochimaru has been defeated by me. All his efforts are in vain."

Although he had predicted this matter, Kidomaru couldn't help taking a breath after getting confirmation from Sasuke himself. The horror in his eyes could no longer be concealed. There was a hint of eagerness.

"Master Sasuke, you actually defeated... no, this is really incredible..."

Tayuya was struggling, and did not feel too much pain and loss because of the passing of Orochimaru.

Rather, there is a hint of joy and excitement in my heart.

It's just that the news was too sudden, and the truth of the matter was beyond her imagination, so she couldn't believe it for a while.

"No, it's impossible! You are nothing but blood, how could you defeat Oshemaru-sama! This is a lie, this must be a lie you made up and derived yourself! Oshemaru-sama—"

Zuo Jin didn't believe that all this happened, he started talking nonsense, shaking his head constantly, he couldn't believe this kind of thing.

Sasuke didn't speak, his black and white pupils were immediately replaced by red Sharingan.

Just for a moment, the eyes of the four people whose eyes met Sasuke's Sharingan were all in a daze. When they realized it, the surrounding scene had changed drastically.

In the dark sky, a huge three-goed jade sharing sharing eye illuminates the earth with **** light.

Unwilling to roar toward the sky, the giant white snake roared towards the sky. In the pain and howling, the body of the giant white snake turned into white particles like fine sand, drifted into the air, and disappeared.

"Is this scene the last of Oshemaru-sama... no, how could this be..."

At the end of the screen, Tayuya, Kidomaru, and Jirobo are okay. Although there is a touch of sadness on their faces, they quickly cheer up.

Only Zuo Jin sat down on the ground in a daze, murmuring the word 'impossible' non-stop, with a dull expression.

"In the future, Yinyin Village will exist in name only, what plans do you four have for the future?"

Sasuke closed Sharingan and asked.

Zuo Jin was still in a daze, murmuring 'impossible' in his mouth, and Tayuya and the three looked at each other, with hesitant expressions on their faces, as if they had some concerns and couldn't really make up their minds.

"I am willing to follow Sasuke-sama."

In the end, Tayuya was the first to speak, breaking the silence. After saying this, she felt relieved and stood behind Sasuke.

Sasuke nodded in satisfaction at Tayuya's self-awareness.

It is not in vain for me to spend time instructing her on illusion over the past few years.

Jirobo looked at Tayuya, then at Kidomaru, and without saying a word, he also came behind Sasuke, standing with Shigego and Tayuya.

"If that's the case, then count me in."

Kidomaru smiled helplessly, and put on a gesture of surrender, knowing that the situation was over, he decided to surrender to Sasuke.

In fact, it's the only option.

From a long time ago, he could see that Sasuke coveted the four of them and wanted to truly lead them.

However, since Orochimaru was still pressing on it, no invitation was actually issued.

But now that Sasuke has successfully defeated Orochimaru, this worry naturally no longer exists.

And, to be honest, Kidomaru thinks that following Sasuke is more promising than following Orochimaru.

He walked behind Sasuke and stood side by side with Shigego and Tayuya.

Only Zuojin was left standing there alone, and in a blink of an eye, he found that there was no one around him, and Zuojin regained his senses, his face suddenly turned blue and white.

"Kidoumaru, you guys do this, I am sorry for Oshemaru-sama—"

Sakon stretched out his hand, wanting to accuse Tayuya and others of being greedy for life and afraid of death, but Sasuke stared at him with cold and sharp eyes, as if pouring a basin of cold water on his head, which completely woke him up from his anger.

The clothes on the back were also soaked in cold sweat, her neck shrank subconsciously, and her body was stiff and unable to move.

This kind of murderous aura gave Zuo Jin the illusion of facing Dashewan directly.

No, this was a more terrifying murderous intent than Orochimaru, it almost made his eyes sting, and his bones began to weaken involuntarily.

Just kidding, a kid younger than me, how could it be possible...Zakon shook his head in a panic, and stepped back, unable to believe the fact that Sasuke had surpassed Orochimaru.

"In this case, then, you go down and meet that guy Orochimaru."

Half of the Kusanagi sword from Sasuke's waist was pulled out, and a dazzling cold light reflected from the shiny silver blade.

Zuo Jin had a loud alarm in his heart, felt as if his heart had stopped beating, and held his breath.

It's like a frog being stared at by a snake. Unfortunately, he is exactly the kind of frog that is about to be preyed upon by a snake.

"Master Sasuke!"

No more hesitation, Zuo Jin directly bowed his head and knelt on one knee, expressing his surrender to Sasuke.

By the time he finished speaking, the Kusanagi sword had stopped in front of him, and the sharp sword energy swept out, making him feel as if his face had been cut open.

Looking at the tip of the Kusanagi sword so close at hand, Zuo Jin secretly swallowed his saliva, secretly glad that he surrendered in time, if it was a second later...

Zuo Jin didn't dare to imagine it.

Seeing Zuo Jin submitting, Sasuke no longer threatened the other party, put the Kusanagi sword back into the scabbard, turned and left silently.

"Sasuke-sama, where are we going next?"

Tayuya also came up and asked.

As the first subject of the four, she quickly entered the subordinate state.

Zuo Jin also stood up from the ground. Although he was a little reluctant to become Sasuke's subordinate, he could only follow up and obey the arrangement.

"Gather at the small town ahead first. As for the subsequent action arrangements, we will make plans in the country of ghosts."

Although the target is Itachi Uchiha, and the high-level Konoha once targeted the Uchiha clan, Sasuke has not yet considered how to act.

Moreover, before he completes these two goals, he still needs to test his own strength and what level he has reached, so as to avoid accidents at that time.

"The country of ghosts?"

Except for Chongwu, the other four were stunned, and a very absurd association arose in their hearts.

Could it be Mr. Sasuke... Looking at Sasuke's indifferent face at this time, the four temporarily suppressed their doubts and remained silent.

◎

"Yo, Kakashi, it's been a long time."

In front of a cave, Shiraishi jumped off the back of the landed Thunder Maru, saw Kakashi standing at the entrance of the cave, waiting for him for a long time, and greeted him familiarly.

"Yes, but you still look the same as before."

Kakashi nodded, like a meeting between old acquaintances, and began to communicate with plain words.

Shiraishi looked quite young in appearance, much younger than a man in his thirties.

"Because no one wants to admit the fact that they are old."

"That's right, after all, you are almost forty years old."

Kakashi nodded, not entangled in this matter.

But what he said inadvertently still hurt Shiraishi a little.

"Speaking of which, I didn't go to Sasuke, how is the situation?"

Kakashi led the way ahead, leading Shiraishi and Tian Yunu into the cave.

Inside is a man-made walkway, with snake-shaped candlesticks hanging on both sides, burning candles on it, and the dim light and shadow make the tunnel of the cave look extremely gloomy.

This is undoubtedly a stronghold building that conforms to the aesthetic style of Oshemaru.

"As planned, most of Orochimaru's power was defeated by Sasuke. Next, we only need to deal with the remaining will so that he cannot return."

Shiraishi replied.

"Sasuke did a good job. I didn't expect to grow to this point in just a few years."

Kakashi nodded, although his tone didn't fluctuate at all, but his pace became brisk, obviously in a happy mood.

"However, he should go looking for Itachi next, right? Do you have any plans?"

As Kakashi walked forward, he glanced back at Shiraishi.

Shiraishi followed behind Kakashi, letting him lead the way.

"If there is no accident, he will temporarily return to the ghost country with me, and then go to Itachi."

"That is to say, does he still think about revenge after knowing the truth?"

Kakashi sighed in a self-answering tone.

Bai Shi smiled and said, "Compared to me, you should know his temper better."

Kakashi kept calm in his eyes, shook his head and said: "No, even I can't see through his inner thoughts now. Moreover, it is too arrogant to say that you can see through a person completely."

"Yes, human beings are not such complex creatures that can be easily understood. But no matter what the process is, the result is that Itachi participated in the incident that night, and personally joined forces with outsiders to kill his own people... This is very important for Sasuke who knows the truth. Words are still unbearable.”

Shiraishi is sure of that.

Kakashi's eyes became complicated.

"Revenge, only that moment is satisfied, but in the end there will only be endless emptiness."

There was concern for Sasuke in his tone.

But he also knew that it was impossible for him to stop Sasuke's behavior.

It's like his revenge against the Third Hokage.

Even knowing that revenge is impossible to bring the dead back to life and restore what has been lost, in the end, they still fall into the abyss like moths to a flame.

"Emptiness... that can only be felt after revenge. Before that, all preaching is meaningless."

As Shiraishi's words fell to the ground, Kakashi stopped talking, and led the way with a dull head.

Coming to a door, Kakashi pushed it open.

Then stand aside, so that Shiraishi can see the things in the room~www.wuxiamtl.com~ This stronghold, the back-up preparations that Orochimaru put here, are all here. If possible, I hope you can save these people. Their will has not been corroded by Orochimaru, and there is still room for redemption. "

Baishi calmly looked at the crowd in the room. The prisoners inside were of different genders. The older ones were in their twenties and sixteen years old, while the younger ones were only seven or eight years old.

The only thing in common is that they were planted with the unique curse mark of Orochimaru.

Moreover, the types of curse seals are quite advanced. Although they cannot be compared with Sasuke's Heaven's Curse Seals, if the number is sufficient, it is enough to awaken Orochimaru's sleeping will.

In addition, Shiraishi also sensed an aura of disobedience in these people. There is no doubt that these people may have all been transformed into living bodies by Orochimaru.

It is a carefully selected 'sacrifice'.

"I will try my best."

After Baishi finished speaking, he let out a long breath and walked into the room.
