Chapter 974 Breaking the Deadlock

Chapter 974 Breaking the Deadlock
Orochimaru stared at Itachi, feeling far less calm than he seemed on the surface.

Even he himself couldn't explain why. When facing Itachi directly, especially looking at the indifferent look on Itachi's face, he felt a little unsure.

Itachi looked at Orochimaru and said, "Hand over the Kyuubi!"

"With just the few of you, I'm afraid it won't be that easy for me to hand over the Kyuubi obediently!" After a pause, Orochimaru continued: "I have already told 'B' about my conditions. If you want the Kyuubi, just You have to trade with me for what I want!”

After saying that, Orochimaru observed Itachi carefully.

He wanted to use Itachi to confirm whether 'B' and Itachi, the members of the Akatsuki organization, were in the same group, so that he could plan his next move.

However, Itachi showed no expression after listening to it, and there was no movement in his eyes. It was impossible to judge any useful information from Itachi's reaction.

Then, accompanied by a burst of "quacking" crows, the crows that gathered into the body of the ferret suddenly flew away!

Orochimaru's face darkened.

Undoubtedly, what appeared here was just one of his shadow clones, and Itachi had obviously judged this, so he didn't waste any energy getting entangled here.

Orochimaru's shadow clone jumped to the top of the tree and observed the battlefield.

The first, second, and fourth generations of the 'Filthy Earth Body' were now entangled by Scorpion and Deidara. Yakushi Kabuto was fighting with Loquat Juzo, and the battle was generally in a stalemate.

Logically speaking, according to the characteristics of the 'dirty earth body', unless someone can break the deadlock, otherwise, such a stalemate will be beneficial to him.

But with the appearance of Itachi, he began to think about retreating.

Because Itachi is the one who can break the deadlock!

And Itachi's appearance means there may be other members of the Akatsuki organization nearby. After all, the Akatsuki organization usually operates in groups of two, so once the number of people exceeds two, it is likely to be a big operation that the Akatsuki organization must win, and the number of members participating in the operation is difficult to estimate.

After making up his mind, Orochimaru's shadow clone immediately sent a signal to retreat, and then disappeared into white smoke with a 'bang' sound.

Almost at the same time Orochimaru sent the signal, there was an immediate change on the battlefield.

Yakushi Kabuto, who was fighting with Loquat Juuzang, channeled several big snakes and used these snakes to contain Loquat Juuzang, while he quickly withdrew from the battlefield.

The first-generation 'Filthy Earth Body' launched its 'Wood Release' with all its strength, suppressing the human puppets of the Third and Fourth Kazekage controlled by Scorpion on the scene.

With the cover of 'Wood Release', the second generation used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to flash to the first generation, and took the first generation away from the battlefield. The fourth generation also used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to flash to Orochimaru's body and withdraw from the battlefield with Orochimaru.

Whether it was Yakushi Kabuto in 'Sage Mode', or the second or fourth generation using the 'Flying Thunder God Technique', their movements were astonishingly fast, resulting in a fierce confrontation on the battlefield one moment, and the next moment, the entire battlefield was Silence fell.

As the battle on the ground came to an abrupt end, Deidara in the air controlled the clay bird to land on the ground.

Jumping in front of Scorpion, Deidara said: "Brother Scorpion, I thought you were killed just now!"

"Even if you die, I won't die!" With a snort, Xie glanced around and said with a gloomy expression, "I didn't expect 'Reincarnation of the Dirty Earth' to be so difficult to deal with. It was a miscalculation!"

Deidara echoed: "Yes, you are worthy of being the Hokage of Konoha!"

Even Unruly Scorpion and Deidara had to admit the strength of Konoha's three Hokage after experiencing the previous confrontation.

On the other side, Itachi and Loquat Juzo reunited.

Walking to the place where Orochimaru had just been burned with 'Amaterasu', Itachi noticed that there was a crack on the ground at the site that led to the ground. Loquat Juuzang squatted down and checked: "It seems to be some kind of substitute technique."

Itachi said: "This is a substitute technique developed by Orochimaru by simulating the shedding of snakes. It can resist almost any ninjutsu, but there should be a price."

Loquat Juuzang asked: "So he really hit your 'Amaterasu' just now?"

"Ok!"

Itachi nodded slightly.

In his eyes, any ninjutsu is a flaw. Orochimaru must have paid a heavy price for using this special 'substitute technique' to avoid the fatal blow of his 'Amaterasu'.

Then the two came to Scorpion and Deidara.

Deidara complained: "Hey, you're late!"

Loquat Juuzang curled his lips and said, "It's obviously too early for you to take action!"

Scorpion said with a sullen face: "My informant rebelled. This is a trap carefully laid by Orochimaru, but this is good, it saves us from having to search for them all over the ninja world!"

Itachi asked: "Why did he set a trap against us?"

Loquat Juuzang said: "Yes, shouldn't he be avoiding us now?"

"Orochimaru mentioned 'B' to me before. It should be that 'B' made some deal with him!" After a pause, Xia said: "As for the specific reason, everything will be clear once we catch that guy. "

"Then what are we waiting for now?"

Deidara urged a few people and jumped on the clay bird beside him.

Xie temporarily put away the human puppets of the Third Kazekage and the Fourth Kazekage, recovered his own body and the fragments of 'Hiryuu Ko', and then jumped on the clay bird: "This is not far from the Land of Fire, we can't We have been entangled with Orochimaru for too long. Let’s wait until Beiruhu and Ranmaru arrive before taking action, hoping to win the battle!”

Itachi and Loquat Juzo didn't say anything, and jumped on the clay bird that carried them.
Konoha's elite team.

Because Orochimaru had established the Sound Ninja Village in Tianno Country, the first stop of the elite team was Orochimaru's hometown, Tianno Country.

But before the elite team entered the territory of Tian Country, Jiraiya received a message from Tian Country.

Obviously.

The battle between Orochimaru and the Akatsuki organization was a sea of ​​trees and a sea of ​​sand. The movement was so loud that it could be detected from more than ten miles away. Therefore, Konoha's intelligence network in Tianno Country quickly captured this important message. Without waiting for the war to end, the information was passed on.

After passing the read information to Kakashi, Jiraiya said: "We found Orochimaru!"

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Not only him, but everyone in the elite team looked happy. Finding someone in the vast ninja world was a hard job. Now that the goal is clear, they can rush forward and win quickly.

In the crowd, Sasuke gritted his teeth: "Orochimaru, I will definitely not be able to spare you this time!"

Sasuke is ready to get back the revenge he received from Orochimaru for the 'curse seal' he planted before, plus the revenge he suffered from being severely injured by Yakushi Kabuto in 'Sage Mode' during his last pursuit!

The first update is here!
