Chapter 204 Ghost Pill

Kiba can rely on smell to find the enemy's traces. He is very good at tracking. He keeps getting closer to Orochimaru's base by following the enemy's scent. However, the enemy seems to have discovered their existence, and they have not been able to get close to the enemy. At this time, Akamaru and Kiba actually heard a dog whistle. Kakashi said, "Could it be that the enemy also has a ninja dog?" Kiba shook his head and said, "Probably not. If there is, I should have discovered it long ago. It is much more difficult to eliminate the smell of a dog than that of a human."

Then the group continued to track, but unfortunately, it started to rain heavily. This was bad for Kiba, who was searching by smell. Rainy days would eliminate the smell, and Hinata's Byakugan had limited vision, so the group could only find a cave to take shelter from the rain. At this time, Kiba accidentally saw a bat on the top of the cave.

At the same time, Kakashi also noticed it. Kakashi asked, "Are bats also taking shelter here?" But Ya had other ideas. He thought for a moment and said, "Teacher Kakashi, remember the dog whistle I mentioned before? There is an animal with a wavelength similar to that of a dog whistle, and that is a bat." Looking at the bats on the top of the cave, Kakashi immediately understood and said, "Are they controlling the bats to track us? It seems that we have been targeted, but which bat is controlled by the enemy?"

What Kakashi and the others didn't know was that the Crystal Release Ninja Honglian was not with those people at this time. Before that, Honglian went to Orochimaru's base alone to take the mission from Orochimaru. Here, he met Orochimaru's new container, Uchiha Sasuke. Honglian, who always wanted to be Orochimaru's container, was a little jealous of Sasuke. However, when he saw Sasuke easily solve a large number of monsters, he was still impressed by Sasuke's strength.

Orochimaru does have his own charisma. First Kimimaro, then Guren, all wanted to become his new vessel and merge with him. Kabuto brought a child and handed the child to Guren, saying, "Guren, your mission this time is to take Yuukimaru to the lake of the Three-Tails and successfully obtain the Three-Tails. The child must not make any mistakes on the way."

As a murderer, Honglian was naturally very resistant to the task of taking care of children, and couldn't help showing a look of disgust. At this time, Orochimaru came over and said, "Honglian, although Sasuke is my next container, I haven't completely given up on you. This time, if you perform well, maybe I will still consider you."

Orochimaru's words obviously had a great appeal to Honglian, as she dreamed of becoming one with Orochimaru. Even though Honglian was unwilling to accept this mission, she still nodded and took Youkimaru to the lake that Kabuto mentioned. However, she was only doing it for the mission, and she still hated Youkimaru very much.

However, this little ghost named Youguiwan had no bad intentions at all, and instead thought Sister Honglian was pretty good. Originally, she thought it was just a little troublesome, but as the two of them continued to travel, Honglian found that carrying Youguiwan was simply a burden. Because he was an ordinary person, his walking speed was extremely slow, which greatly affected Honglian's speed.

To make matters worse, because of the rain, Youkimaru actually caught a cold. As a murderer, Honglian didn't know how to take care of people. She found a dilapidated house and put Youkimaru on a bed. But the problem was that Youkimaru was still shivering with cold. Unlike ninjas, Youkimaru's body was relatively fragile. If Honglian didn't take care of Youkimaru, he would most likely die. At this time, Honglian suddenly regretted not bringing Niugui and Lin'er with her. If they were there, he wouldn't be alone like this.

On this cold night, it was raining, making the chill even worse. Originally, Honglian would probably ignore Youkimaru, but thinking of the task given to her by Orochimaru, she had no choice. She kept struggling, trying every possible way, including burning firewood. Honglian, who only knew how to kill people, took care of someone for the first time. What she didn't expect was that Youkimaru actually touched her hand and said, "Sister Honglian, it's so warm."

Honglian had never encountered such a situation before. Even if she had, it was probably in the distant past. At this moment, for some reason, as a murderous maniac, she felt a little relaxed. She let Youguimaru hold her hand. After tossing for so long and rushing on the road, she was already very tired. For some reason, she fell into a deep sleep despite her strong alertness.

When she woke up the next morning, she found that Yuukimaru was gone. Honglian's heart tightened. If Yuukimaru disappeared, how would she report to Orochimaru? And deep in her heart, she seemed to really not want Yuukimaru to get into trouble. She hurriedly looked around, and fortunately found Yuukimaru nearby.

At this time, the rain had stopped, and Youguimaru was looking at the white and red camellias. Honglian walked over and said, "You are a precious item that Orochimaru entrusted to me. If you lose it, I will be in big trouble." Youguimaru lowered his head and said nothing. Honglian took a falling camellia and covered it with crystals. He handed it to Youguimaru and said, "This camellia will never wither, as long as I am alive."

Because of the matter of Youkimaru, Honglian's speed was greatly affected, and he was unable to reunite with the rest of the group. However, at this time, the leader Lin'er found that Kakashi and others were chasing him relentlessly, and he was a little annoyed. The Ushiki who was sitting next to them was obviously not in the same group as them, and said: "I thought you would all run away immediately." Lin'er asked: "Why?" The Ushiki said: "Because now is the best opportunity to surrender to Konoha and hand over the information about Orochimaru's base."

Lin Er smiled and said, "We don't have that plan. We are truly loyal to Sister Honglian." However, Niu Gui obviously didn't believe him and said disdainfully, "Really? Then what are your plans?" Lin Er said, "We had expected this day to come, so we started to unite a long time ago. Because of this reason, we successfully walked out of it. However, we did not choose to attack you because of your strength."

Lin'er then said, "If possible, I hope you can join us." Niu Gui said, "If we join you, aren't you all loyal to Sister Honglian?" After hearing what Niu Gui said, Lin'er realized that Niu Gui's ideas were completely different from theirs, but it was not easy to embarrass him. Niu Gui also stood up and walked to the side alone. Lin'er hurriedly said, "What are you going to do? Honglian asked us to wait for her here."

Niu Gui just sat aside and ignored them, while they played cards.
