Chapter 229 229. The discovery of Hongdou
A few minutes later, Naruto and Sasuke walked out of the dense forest and arrived at the location of the previous battle.
Under the siege of Hinata, Koso, Shiro and others, Kimimaro gradually fell into a disadvantage, and finally seized the opportunity to escape from the encirclement of several people and disappeared into the boundless forest.
Since Naruto was not present, several people did not dare to pursue them and could only stay where they were, waiting for Naruto's return.
After all, Kimimaro's appearance and departure were full of weirdness, and there might be traces of other big shots meddling behind it.
After seeing Naruto return, Hinata and others quickly came over and talked about the battle with Kimimaro just now. Their faces were full of decadence, and they regretted not being able to keep Kimimaro.
Naruto smiled and said, "Kimimaro's strength is already close to the Kage level. It's normal for you not to catch up. If you weren't worried about being targeted by Konoha jounin, you wouldn't win so easily."
"Is the strength close to the Kage level?" Hinata, Xiang Ling and Shiro showed surprise.
Being able to tie with such a strong man, doesn't it mean that their strength has reached the standard of jounin, but why would such a monster appear in the examination room of the chunin exam?
Did Naruto disappear just now to provide an opportunity for experience, or was he going to meet someone else?
However, it is not a good thing for ninjas to know too much, so they stopped asking any more questions.
After exchanging information, Naruto asked Shiro and Karin to deal with the unconscious Shino and Kiba, while he and Hinata dealt with the loot.
From a superficial point of view, the trophies are nothing more than the sound ninja, the equipment on the sound ninja, and the earth-character scroll.
The former is the product of Orochimaru's experiment, which can understand the extent of Orochimaru's development of curse seals, while the latter is a necessity for advancement in the Chunin Exam.
However, the most important trophy was the wool he collected from Orochimaru.
After some good persuasion, Orochimaru agreed to share his most advanced technology, a specially improved version of the Jutsu Reincarnation Technique, which could summon an Earth body with 70% of its previous strength.
What surprised Naruto was that Orochimaru actually proposed the idea of joining Uzushio Village.
He did not agree to Orochimaru's request immediately, but judging from this idea, Orochimaru should continue the Konoha collapse plan, but he didn't know whether he would target Jiraiya or the Third Hokage.
As Orochimaru said, there is no more exciting show than brothers fighting each other, and he has been looking forward to the show between Orochimaru, Jiraiya and the Third Hokage.
When Naruto frowned and thought, Sasuke kept staring at Naruto, his eyes full of confusion.
He didn't know whether to report the information about Menma to Konoha or whether to hide the information in his heart as if nothing had happened.
It is the responsibility of Konoha ninjas to report information, but both Kakashi and Menma vaguely revealed a message to him, that is, the reason why Uchiha left, and it is inseparable from Konoha.
At this moment, with a burst of sound in the air, the examiner Mitarashi Anko appeared in front of several people.
Seeing the fallen trees around and the ground that looked like it had been plowed, Hongdou said with a straight face: "You guys, what exactly happened here? Why are all the cameras around you destroyed?"
Hinata and others were waiting for an explanation when Naruto took a step forward and said: "Examiner Anko, we just met a crazy ninja. He started killing after a disagreement. It took a lot of effort to fight him off. I guess He should be a spy lurking in the Death Forest with the purpose of sabotaging your Konoha Chunin Examination."
"You Konoha?"
Anko frowned, looked at the sunny Naruto up and down, and her expression softened a lot: "You are a ninja from Uzushio Village. Thank you for your information. I will handle this matter."
Naruto continued: "The attacker is very powerful and cannot be dealt with by ordinary ninjas. Examiner Anko had better bring more manpower, or simply cancel the Chunin Exam."
"I am a jounin, different from you rookies who are taking the chunin exam..."
After casting a cold glance at the candidates present, Hongdou followed the scent without looking back, leaving only an indifferent figure behind.
Looking at Anko's back, Hinata asked softly: "Will something happen to Examiner Anko?"
Naruto retracted his gaze from a distance and said with a chuckle: "I have already reminded her that it is her own business to insist on going there. The ninja who caused trouble in the Chunin Exam is not a ninja she can handle, but she won't Kill her."
Hinata looked up at Naruto and wondered, "Does Menma-kun know Anko Jounin so well?"
Naruto shook his head and said: "I don't know her, but I know the ninja who is causing trouble in the forest of death. He is cruel and easy to kill, but he can never forget the ninja who is in contact with him. It's just that his brain circuitry is different from that of normal people." Same."
Hinata came close to Naruto and whispered: "Is the person who caused the trouble a collaborator of Naruto-kun? Can the Hyuga clan help you? I am the acting clan leader now, and it is different from before."
"I need Hinata's help, but not now. Let's enjoy the Chunin Exams."
…
Speeding through the forest of death, Anko's face became increasingly ugly.
Ever since the Chuunin Exam, Anko had always smelled a familiar scent, and the snake sloughs that appeared in the Forest of Death further confirmed her guess.
The ninja who sneaked into Konoha with the intention of sabotaging the Chunin Examination was her teacher Orochimaru.
Because of Orochimaru's defection, as a disciple of the Sannin, his status fell to the bottom in an instant, and he became the target of surveillance by ANBU and Roots. It was not until Jiraiya became Hokage that she reluctantly became a special jounin in the village. .
Now, seeing Orochimaru again, she must question Orochimaru and bring him to justice.
However, even she didn't know whether she hated Orochimaru for becoming a traitorous ninja or whether she hated Orochimaru for not taking her away.
It didn't take long before Anko could clearly sense Orochimaru's chakra.
After getting rid of the vigilant rattlesnake nearby, Anko ignored the consumption of chakra and teleported to the tree trunk, looking for traces of Orochimaru from a high position.
Soon, Anko locked Orochimaru's position, and when he was about to attack Orochimaru, his figure suddenly stopped.
In addition to Orochimaru, there were several mysterious men in black nearby. These men in black wore animal masks and were obviously dressed as ANBU. Their accents also made her feel familiar.
Obviously, these ANBU were not pretended to be others, but ninjas from the village.
Since he was a ninja in the village, why did he collude with Orochimaru? Could it be that Orochimaru's sneaking into Konoha this time was colluding with both inside and outside to overthrow the Konoha Ninja Village?
