Konoha’s Thief Hand

"Is Orochimaru-sama also sad about this?" Suddenly a figure appeared on the thick tree, standing tall on the tree branch, holding the trunk and smiling and asking, "After all, I can no longer feel a trace of human breath from you. That's it."

"Natsuki-kun?" Orochimaru raised his head to look at the person coming, with a hoarse smile, "I thought you would be smarter."

"Hehe, it seems that we have a slightly different definition of smart, Lord Orochimaru." Xia Shu shook his head, then stretched out a hand to make a gesture of asking, "I respect your choice, and I believe you understand that I am not afraid of the threat. , But before you leave Konoha Village, I want to get what I want."

"Oh? What do you want?" Orochimaru asked curiously.

"The material of Eight Tails, the horn." Xia Shu said in a positive tone without going around in a circle, "Since you have noticed the movements of the Third Generation, then you must bring that important and precious material with you now."

"That's right." Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia Shu. "It seems that you know a lot of things."

"Master holds the authority of the roots. To me, there are not many things in the Ninja World that can be called secrets." Xia Shu folded her five fingers into a fist.

"It's true." Orochimaru nodded in agreement, and then asked curiously: "But what do you want that kind of thing?"

"That's my business." Xia Shu shook his head and asked indifferently: "Tell me your answer."

Orochimaru is still puzzled. After all, he didn't get too many valuable things from the corner of Eight Tails, but such precious and rare materials, even if there is no research progress for the time being, it is definitely not a waste that can be easily discarded.

"You made the wrong choice, Master Orochimaru." Natsuki didn't seem to be dissatisfied with it, and his tone was as flat as telling a fact.

"If you want to delay time and wait for Teachers Anbu and Sarutobi to come to support you, then let's dispel this idea." Orochimaru's vertical pupil showed a cold killing intent, and said in a sharp tone: "Because I will solve you immediately! "

After the words fell, he rushed to the tree where Xia Shu stood, and while hovering up against the trunk like a snake, two thick yellow Madara pythons stuck their heads out of the smoke of Summoning Technique and flicked them from both sides. To the youth on the tree.

Bang! !

The giant python's head slammed together, making a heavy muffled noise.

The two yellow Madara pythons that smashed into each other's heads shook their heads apart, but there was no target among them, and they apparently escaped early.

However, Xia Shu didn't hide far, he just flicked behind the tree trunk, still looking down at this moment, when Orochimaru's swiftly moving blurry figure appeared, he bent down and drew his sword out.

Huh! ~

The light of the sword flashed, and the sharp sword energy slashed the bark, leaning deeply into the thick trunk.

Orochimaru’s reaction speed is extremely fast, and the perception of danger is extremely keen. The swift slashing sword that rarely misses is the first time since Xia Shu pushed back from the dragon’s flash, it is the first time that people have completely avoided it. After receiving the slightest harm, even other aspects, such as the next offense, did not make any effective preparations.

"What a quick sword drawing technique!" Orochimaru said in admiration.

"Can't hide as fast as you." Xia Shu Xiaoxiao cursed aggressively, slashing the air with a knife, and stepping on Shunpo to take the initiative to attack.

Orochimaru opened his mouth and spit out Kusanaru's sword, swiping it forward to meet him.

Two cold and sharp sword auras permeated the forest.

"Your weapon is not a common product." Orochimaru turned around to avoid the flying feather sword, and looked at the eight houses in Xia Shu's hand in surprise.

"Not more famous than the Sword of Kusanaru." Xia Shu took the counterattack and quickly pulled out four afterimages, attacking from different angles.

Orochimaru gave him the feeling very similar to Killer Bee with seven knives. The software transformation made his shots elusive. The first moment he attacked from an intelligible angle, the next moment he might change from the soles of his feet, from the top of his head, or even from behind. Launched an attack, the angle is tricky, very people can resist.

Therefore, the ability of the heart network to predict movements is greatly reduced when facing Orochimaru.

However, even the Killer Bee of Seven Swords couldn't cause him damage for an instant, and the effect achieved by Orochimaru's software transformation was of course less threatening to him.

Although Orochimaru had obviously practiced swordsmanship, there was still a gap compared with his level, so in the confrontation, even if he could not overwhelm it, he still had the upper hand.

Natsuki's swordsmanship level was very high, Orochimaru had known it for a long time, after all, it was the disciple of Senior Kousuke, but he never thought that it would have reached this point.

Especially after a move by Xia Shu Ye Liu·Liu, he was lost because of the illusion, and he became the first to be injured in this battle.

"Wind Style· Great Breakthrough!" Orochimaru turned to Jieyin and released ninjutsu toward the back that passed by.

Xia Shuxinnet keenly sensed the attack, and stepped out of Shunpo to dodge without looking back. When he came behind a tree, he had already thrown off the bloodshot blood stained by the blade, shruggedly put away the eight rooms, and took out a few painless wrists. Threw it in an arc.

With Byakugan's insight, Shisui and Itachi's fancy but also powerful throwing skills in the original book are no longer difficult for him. After all, Sharingan's insight is good, but it is similar to Byakugan who specializes in it. It's still a lot worse than that.

And now that he has such insight, the throwing technique he has used is naturally more subtle than that.

At this moment, what is thrown out is only the first layer, which uses different arcs and speeds to compress, block, and pinch the target.

And if you dodge the first layer, even if you knock down a few kunai, you will enter the second layer's roundabout mode, and finally the third layer's collision, completely out of the final attack power.

This kind of exquisite artistic technique, if used properly, even Jōnin may have to hate, but Orochimaru is obviously not among them.

"Earth Style·Earth Flowing River!" Orochimaru slapped on the ground, and the moist land in the forest immediately turned into mud and poured out, and part of it was poured into the exit of the experimental base, blocking the road for chasing soldiers.

Although he said that Natsuki could not wait for support, he could not judge whether Sarutobi Hiruzen would regret it. If Sarutobi Hiruzen led Anbu to pursue it, even if he could finally escape Konoha and escape from the land of fire, he would have to pay a great price. .

Xia Shu leaped to the tree to avoid the mud, and at this moment, a giant python rushed out of the mud, opening a fishy mouth and biting.
