Konoha's forty-nine years passed in silence, and the new year came in peace.

However, when it was cold and warm, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly sent an urgent summon order to Xia Shu, and before seeing the other person, Xia Shu had already guessed what was going on.

"Orochimaru has completely lost control!" Sarutobi Hiruzen has changed into a combat uniform. He is not tall and strong. His aura at this moment is extremely heavy. It is known that although he has stepped down, he is still the one with the'strongest' name. Hokage!

"I'm sorry, Master Third Generation, I...actually expected this." After reading the report of missing persons in Konoha Village handed over by Anbu, Xia Shu sighed and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with guilt.

"Natsuki, how could you...Oh yes, Orochimaru and Danzo have always been in collusion. You are the channel of communication between them." Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it for a moment and thought of the reason, although that was not the real reason. , But Xia Shu would not correct anything.

"Wood Style was reproduced in the hands of Orochimaru-sama, but he didn't know it. Danzo-sama concealed this. I think he was the first to anticipate today's situation." Natsuki recalled.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, he felt that he was suddenly overwhelmed, but at this point, he couldn't blame anyone. He could only take a deep breath and said with a serious face: "Orochimaru will come to the point where it is today. I, as his teacher The responsibility is heavy. Since I discovered it, I must completely correct it!"

The Anbu ninjas who had been secretly summoned were in awe. At this time, none of them doubted whether Sarutobi Hiruzen had the determination to kill his relatives.

However, in fact, let alone them, I am afraid that even Sarutobi Hiruzen himself thinks that he can bear the pain to kill Orochimaru, but the result of all things will only reveal its true appearance when it comes. .

"Since you have made up your mind, then give the order!" Xia Shu looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Late changes, let's go!" After Sarutobi Hiruzen said, the lean figure appeared more and more, and rushed to the forefront.

Natsuki and Anbu ninjas followed closely behind.

The meeting place was located outside Konoha Village, only a short distance from the densely forested suburbs, and Orochimaru’s secret experiment base was hidden somewhere in the forest.

As he progressed, Natsuki asked about Sarutobi Hiruzen's tactical arrangements, and at the same time glanced at the silver-haired Anbu, who was obviously Hatake Kakashi.

"Although Kakashi is considered to be the top ninja of this generation, compared with Orochimaru, his strength is far behind." He did not shy away from the presence of Kakashi, and directly proposed to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "The task of blocking Orochimaru will be handed in. give it to me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Natsuki in surprise, but looked at the young man's eyes that seemed to see through everything.

"Well, I beg you, Natsuki." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in relief, only to feel relieved all over.

More than a dozen concealment measures have been set up outside Orochimaru's secret experiment base, but as long as anything has changed, it will inevitably leave traces, just like covering up a lie with a lie, and what remains is a lie in the end.

Orochimaru's arrangement can be rated as the highest level of excellence in the eyes of secret troops like Anbu, and then it was cracked by Anbu's agency experts one after another without causing any movement.

At least on the surface.

All the institutions were destroyed, and the cave leading to the experimental base was exposed.

Looking at the black hole that extends diagonally downward into the ground, Xia Shu said in her heart that she is indeed a snake. If there is a game in the hole, Orochimaru will definitely be the leader.

"Natsuki, Orochimaru has a cunning temperament. There may be only one entrance, but that may not be the exit. Ye Xiao is a perception ninja and can assist you in your actions." Sarutobi Hiruzen pointed to an Anbu ninja and said to Natsuki.

"No need, Master Third Generation." Xia Shu shook his head and refused, "I also Master Ninjutsu, and the scope is wide enough."

"If this is the case, then you are careful." Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't mind too much at this moment, and didn't say much when he heard the words. After exhorting him, he took a deep breath and ran into the dark hole first.

There was only Xia Shu in front of the entrance, but he did not act immediately, and stood there, as if waiting for something to show up.

In the secluded forest, the birds sang crisply. The squirrel poked his head out of the branch, looked at the standing human with dark eyes, tilted his head, and suddenly felt very boring, shaking his fluffy tail and crawling down. The tree ran far away.

Hiss~ss~

Didn't make Xia Shu wait much, the one who should have appeared appeared.

A snow-white little snake burrowed out of the grass and came to the entrance of the cave. The ruby ​​eyes stared at the young man with interest. Although they were clearly looking up, they still exuded a predator staring at their prey. .

"It's been a long time, Xia Shu-kun." The little snow-white snake spit out the scarlet letter, making a hoarse voice.

"It's Orochimaru-sama that is too busy." Xia Shu knelt down, leveled the sights of both sides, and sighed regretfully: "Otherwise, I won't show my feet, and I was caught by Master Third Generation."

"Sooner or later there will be this day." Snow White Little Snake shook his head, with a sigh in his tone, and a little bit of ease of breaking free from the shackles. For Orochimaru, who has abandoned his humanity, leaving Konoha Village has given him a lot. A warm place may be equivalent to liberation.

Orochimaru pondered for a while and asked, "Natsuki-kun, what kind of thoughts did you come here with?"

"Oh?" Xia Shu raised her eyebrows and asked in confusion, "Do you think I have different intentions from the Third Generation Lord?"

"Haha." Orochimaru grinned hoarsely, "Although Danzo is cunning, he is not good at seeing people. It's like he didn't see the white Fang, which was sharpened by him back then, actually has a hard appearance. The bottom is extremely fragile. Just like Kakashi whose heart is filled with darkness, in fact, there is still a trace of desire and urgency for light. However, the things that Hatake and son did have had an impact on Danzo, but none of the things you did would affect him. The impact was great. After all, you not only took over the roots that he trained with one hand, but even the Hokage throne that he could not obtain is only one step away for you."

Listening to Snow White Little Snake's words, Xia Shu narrowed his eyes. When he finished speaking, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Master Orochimaru, although you are an elder, you can't just insult your innocence."
