Chapter 203 Orochimaru’s defection (2)

Orochimaru's strength is not simple.

In the Third Ninja World War, he assassinated the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki Brübi, and led the Konoha troops to defeat Sunagakure in the Battle of Mount Kikyo. He is one of the top strong men in the Ninja World.

But in the airtight stick dance of the Third Hokage, Orochimaru gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Looking at the strong Third Hokage, Orochimaru's eyes were full of fear. He knew that the Third Hokage was very strong, but he didn't expect that he was so strong.

Without any preparation, he could not be the opponent of the Third Hokage.

After using the Orochimaru substitute to avoid the heavy blow, Orochimaru retreated tens of meters, forming seals with his hands and slapped the ground. The soft grass suddenly turned into hundreds of venomous snakes, and they all attacked the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage tiptoed, jumped into the air, his chest suddenly expanded, and shouted: "Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

In an instant, the ground turned into a sea of ​​fire, directly submerging all the poisonous snakes.

After seeing this, Orochimaru had a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead. The reason why he did not leave Konoha immediately was mainly because he wanted to test the strength of the third generation teacher, but the current situation was beyond his control.

If he doesn't use all his strength, he will probably die here.

As for surrendering to the Third Hokage, Orochimaru had such an idea in his mind, but his heart no longer belonged to Konoha, and he would leave sooner or later.

Even if he surrenders to his teacher and saves his life now, he will be imprisoned in the village and lose his freedom.

Instead of spending his freedom and staying in the boring Konoha Ninja Village, he would rather take risks and defeat the Third Hokage. He also wanted to study the bloodline of the Sarutobi clan.

As he approached the Third Hokage, Orochimaru transformed into a huge python and pounced on him.

The Third Hokage was impartial and without any thoughts of dodge, and said calmly: "Orochimaru, do you really have no intention of staying in the village?"

Orochimaru did not answer the Third Hokage. He had already circled behind the Third Hokage. He only needed to inject venom into the Third Hokage's body to win the battle.

However, just when Orochimaru was about to launch an attack, a burst of white light lit up on the snake's head and exploded directly on Orochimaru's body.

After the dust and smoke dissipated, Orochimaru sneaked into the forest covered in blood. He did not dare to stay here any longer.

I don’t know since when, the Third Hokage has attached several detonating charms to Orochimaru’s body, and also used illusions to interfere with Orochimaru’s perception.

It was after Orochimaru knew this that he understood the gap between him and the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage was not only much stronger than him, but also had more combat experience than him. If the Third Hokage hadn't been scrupulous, he would have died at this moment.

Looking at Orochimaru's back, the Third Hokage stopped and did not choose to pursue him.

The battle with Orochimaru just now was very draining on him. It had been a long time since he had experienced such a fierce battle.

If you rush to pursue them rashly, you may run the risk of being counterattacked.

After trying to calm down his breathing, the Third Hokage said with lingering fear: "I didn't expect Orochimaru to grow to this point. If I hadn't been prepared in advance, I might not be his opponent."

The monkey demon on the side said calmly: "Hiruzhan, isn't it because you deliberately let go? If you didn't want to capture Orochimaru alive, you would have had many opportunities to kill him just now."

Hearing this, the Third Hokage fell silent.

The monkey demon was right, he really let off steam in the battle just now.

The monkey demon saw Hiruzen's thoughts and sighed softly: "I know you can't do anything to your apprentice, but the old man has a hunch that one day in the future, you will regret your actions today."

The Third Hokage said with a complicated expression: "Maybe, but I really can't do it. Maybe it's a good thing to let Orochimaru leave Konoha..."

After saying that, the Third Hokage looked at the monkey demon, who remained silent.

Although the monkey demon is the psychic beast of the Third Hokage, it can be regarded as growing up watching Orochimaru and others. It knows the thoughts of the Third Hokage and does not want to be stained with Orochimaru's blood.

A few minutes later, Shimura Danzo and other Konoha jounin arrived late.

After seeing the devastated land, they all looked at the Third Hokage. Judging from the results of the battle, the Third Hokage should have won.

I just don’t know how Orochimaru is doing now?

The Third Hokage sighed softly and said with a complicated expression: "Just now, Orochimaru injured me and defected!"

Hearing this, all the jounin felt as if they were struck by lightning, and they all showed incredulous expressions.

At present, the border war has just stopped and is in a critical period of peace talks. Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, actually injured the third Hokage and defected. This is not good news for Konoha.

At this time, the Third Hokage said sadly: "In addition, due to the danger of Orochimaru, I plan to make Orochimaru an S-level rebel ninja. Any Konoha ninja has the obligation to capture Orochimaru."

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

As soon as these words came out, all the Konoha jounin nodded, but they did not take the matter of capturing Orochimaru seriously. Is Orochimaru so easy to capture?

In addition to the Five Shadows, there are several people in the ninja world who are Orochimaru's opponents.

Danzo stared at the Third Hokage and kept this in mind.

He didn't believe that the Third Hokage didn't have the strength to kill Orochimaru, and he must have been soft-hearted and let Orochimaru go.

The Third Hokage was not only indecisive, but also treated the ninjas around him too gently. If it were him, he would definitely not let Dahewang go.

However, just because the Third Hokage didn't take action, it didn't mean that he wouldn't take action.

He must capture or even kill Orochimaru. Orochimaru knows too many of his secrets and is an extremely unstable factor.

…

the other side.

After running for more than ten kilometers, Orochimaru got into a cave and began to heal his injuries in the cave.

The injuries on his body were very serious. It would take at least a month to recover, and during this month, he had to face the pursuit from the village.

The third generation teacher gave up in the battle, but it does not mean that he will give up in the subsequent pursuit.

His partner Danzo will also find ways to hunt him down.

In this month, he could only exert the strength of an ordinary jounin, and it was not easy to escape Konoha's pursuit.

Perhaps, we can only go to Longdi Cave for the time being.

But Longdi Cave is different from the other two holy places. Longdi Cave is a world where the jungle eats the strong. The big snakes in it eat each other, and the loser will become the other's food.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru gave up the idea of ​​going to Ryuji Cave, and then glanced to the north, which was the direction of Amegakure Village.
