Saitama moved his eyes to see Orochimaru with an intoxicated expression on his face.

These murals did not record any ninjutsu, let alone a map of any treasure.

These murals were only painted by the ancestors according to the world conditions at that time, adding some renderings.

The plot is very coherent and complete, like a comic strip, running through a certain era thousands of years ago.

The birth of the goddess Uno, to the end of her era, interspersed with the collapse of faith, and the emergence of new immortals...

At the same time, it also records some fantastic stories in those years.

The stories here may not be complete, and may only be left by a certain ethnic group or a certain family.

Saitama is not interested in these things, but Orochimaru feels that these things are the fragments of truth hidden in the long river of time, the last piece of the historical puzzle he needs most recently.

……

"Sanshi, the enemy's breath is ahead! Send the signal first, our team is not his opponent!"

On this bare mountain, a four-man ninja squad is crouching behind a rock.

They wore maroon ninja suits, and on their foreheads were the forehead guards of Yanyin Village, which belonged to Yanyin's troops.

Not long ago, a very mysterious and very ancient altar in Yanyin was broken into by enemies from outside.

Although it is a very famous place for the entire Land of Earth, it is actually not an important place for Yan Yin, so the defense force is not very strong.

That altar is the place where the nobles and royal families of the Land of Earth pay homage to their ancestors every year, and it is also their original birthplace, or called the ancestral land.

It's just that this ancestral land is too old, so long that these nobles have forgotten whether this is the real ancestral land.

But even so, the annual sacrifices still did not fall.

So, to put it another way, it is very important, and indeed it is very important.

But in fact, the ninjas of Yanyin Village were not very interested in this altar.

If it wasn't for the order of the daimyo, Yanyin Village would not send ninja troops to station there.

And even if ninjas were sent, only three regular Chunin troops were stationed there, taking turns to be on duty and responsible for guarding.

It was Orochimaru who broke into the altar that held a special place in the hearts of the nobles of the Land of Land.

First, after traveling all over the land of thunder, Orochimaru found what he needed, and also revealed a trace of historical truth.

Afterwards, he followed various relics and clues, and found the altar that was older than the founding of the Land of Earth.

According to his deduction, the altar also belonged to the goddess of Mao, and there were some secrets hidden in it that had never been discovered.

Although the time was tight, Dabutan Shewan still found what he needed from the altar by virtue of his understanding of mysterious knowledge.

He destroyed the statue in the center of the altar, and found a sheepskin scroll hidden in a stone statue about ten meters high.

The scroll is not about ninjutsu, but it slowly replenishes Orochimaru's memory of ancient times.

Know where you came from, how you came here, and where you're going.

These are the three simple goals Orochimaru set for himself.

And got the incomplete historical truth, slowly unraveling his doubts about the three goals.

He also reaffirmed his direction again, the truth really made him so intoxicated!

"Understood! The enemy is suspected of Konoha's traitorous ninja, I have already conveyed the information to other teams!"

Iwanin named Sanshi nodded to his companion.

When the enemy broke into the altar, they instantly killed a patrolling squad, so that they didn't make any unusual noises.

If it wasn't for the time to change shifts, they hadn't shown up yet, and the other two teams would not have noticed that there was an accident.

But even so, the remaining two teams still paid the price of almost annihilated before conveying the information of "enemy invasion".

If Orochimaru hadn't gotten what he needed, and he didn't want to cause trouble, those Iwanin who were still breathing on the ground would definitely be killed on the spot.

"That's good! When they arrive, we will act together! Judging from the intelligence, there is only one enemy. Although the enemy is very strong, when the captain and the hunting troops arrive, we can definitely stay!"

"I just don't know what this guy who suddenly broke into the altar is for. What else is there for a ninja to take risks in such a dilapidated place?"

The other Yannin's voice was very soft, leaning against the rock, with puzzled eyes.

Although he was talking with his companions, he was still constantly scanning his surroundings, alert to the situation.

"I don't know. I didn't go there to see it. It is said that even the goddess statue on the altar was broken?"

After listening to the words of his companions, a rock ninja took up the topic.

Four ninjas hid behind rocks with serious expressions.

Although they didn't really see the enemy, but among them, there was a person who could be tracked by smell.

According to what he said, the enemy's aura is nearby, and has not left, and the place where the smell is strongest is at the foot of this mountain.

As a last resort, several people decided to wait here for the big troops.

Looking at the surrounding situation, this mountain is surrounded by several larger mountains, and it is extremely difficult for the enemy to leave from other places.

"clatter!"
