Chapter 124 Subduing(1/3)
Leaving the mountainous area at the junction of Tian Country and Iron Country, the three Shiraishi people riding on the backs of Thunder Maru did not return directly to the Country of Demons, but kept flying towards the east.
When it was almost flying to the end of the forest, Thunder Pill's speed slowed down slightly under Shiraishi's order.
On the plain beyond the forest ahead, you can vaguely see a town sitting there in the distance, with a large population.
After the speed slowed down, the Thunder Pill changed from flying at high altitude to flying at low altitude. It was only a few tens of meters away from the ground, and the forest below was clearly visible.
"What are your plans next? Do you want to come with me to deal with the aftermath?"
On the back of Thunder Maru, Shiraishi took the initiative to ask Zuosuke.
"Are you going to take over Orochimaru's power?"
Zuosuke asked doubtfully.
Shiraishi nodded, shook his head and said: "I have this purpose, but there are more important things. That guy Orochimaru is not completely dead yet, I need to eliminate all the 'will' that he has dispersed, and avoid future troubles forever.
"
Zuosuke's expression became surprised, as if he didn't react.
As if guessing that Zuosuke would show such an expression, Shiraishi said with a smile: "The white snake symbolizes regeneration. Orochimaru used living body transformation to transform his body into a white snake with strong vitality. Although he cannot achieve complete regeneration, he wants to
It's not that easy to kill him. What's more, he still has a hand in the curse seal. In some of the strongholds he built, there are also spare experimental bodies that he used to revive his will."
"That rascal……"
Zuosuke touched the curse mark on the back of his neck that had completely disappeared. After Orochimaru was eliminated, the curse mark on his body also disappeared.
Although I feel a little regretful about this, after learning the magic of magic, the curse seal has little effect on me, so I just regret it a little bit.
But now it seems that there are many terrible traps in Orochimaru's curse seal that have not been unearthed yet.
"But how do you know this?"
Zuosuke looked at Shiraishi curiously.
Reincarnation ninjutsu and curse seals can be said to be secrets that Orochimaru has painstakingly researched and cannot be left out.
Shiraishi seemed to be very familiar with Orochimaru's reincarnation ninjutsu and curse seals, which surprised Sasuke.
"I have been studying Orochimaru's reincarnation technique and curse seal for many years. As long as it touches the most fundamental areas, then there is no secret to these ninjutsu in front of me. Having said that, this guy
The survivability is indeed troublesome. This is why I personally came to handle the follow-up. There is no one else in the Kingdom of Ghosts who can completely cut off Orochimaru's vitality except me."
Shiraishi didn't hide this.
The main purpose of his coming here was only to take away Sasuke. What he really wanted to do was to block all Orochimaru's escape routes and completely eliminate this dangerous guy from the ninja world.
There is a very close connection between Orochimaru and Akatsuki, and his contribution to the Akatsuki organization cannot be ignored. Eliminating Orochimaru is equivalent to cutting off an arm of the Akatsuki organization, which is conducive to the arrangement of follow-up plans in the Kingdom of Demons.
After listening to this, Zuosuke lost interest. The curse mark on his body had been solved by the person named 'Indra' in Shiraishi's mouth, so naturally he didn't need to take action again regarding Orochimaru.
Moreover, he had personally experienced Orochimaru's strength once before, so there was no need to do the same thing a second time.
"It's up to you, I'll just stop here."
Sensing some familiar scents in the forest, Zuosuke stopped the thunder pill under his feet and began to hover over the forest.
Baishi naturally noticed a few scents of the forest, but he just glanced at them and stopped paying attention.
"By the way, how should I find you in the future? Or should I return directly to the Kingdom of Ghosts?"
Zuosuke suddenly turned around and asked.
Shiraishi pondered for a moment and responded: "If you are not in a hurry, you can go to the small town ahead and stay for two days. I can solve the matter here at noon the day after tomorrow. I will meet you then, and then
Let’s return to the land of ghosts together.”
"See you the day after tomorrow."
Zuosuke nodded, turned his head, glanced at the forest below, jumped down, and disappeared into the forest.
On Lei Mingwan's back, only Shiraishi and Tian Yunv were left.
However, in the ground nearby, Shiraishi also sensed General Tu's aura. After it devoured the information and documents in the stronghold, it quickly chased after him.
The speed at which General Tutu moves underground is no slower than the flying speed of Thunder Pill, and is even slightly faster, so Shiraishi is not worried that General Tutu will fall behind.
"Let's go to the stronghold in the north and meet up with Kakashi."
Shiraishi gave an order, and Thundermaru changed its trajectory in the air without saying a word. He glanced at Zuosuke who was falling towards the forest, then withdrew his gaze, flapped his wings and flew towards the north.
…
There were several figures running fast in the forest. Judging from their hurried and panicked expressions, it seemed that there was some huge terror behind them, making them dare not stop for a moment and just ran for their lives.
They are the four people from Otoyin Village and Jugo.
After confirming that the crisis was over, the group of five people stopped in an open space in the forest, holding on to the trees and getting some breathing space.
"Damn it, who is that guy? He cut off both of my arms with a wind knife as soon as he came up. If we had continued to entangle, I'm afraid we would have been in trouble."
Kidomaru fell to the ground and sat down, leaning on a tree trunk with his back. He originally had six arms, but at this moment, two arms were missing on the right side, resulting in only four arms left.
Although he can still use his arms and is not completely disabled, his strength will inevitably be damaged.
He gritted his teeth, grabbed the medical bandage, and continued to wrap it around the bleeding wound. The bandage that had been wrapped there was completely stained red.
The other three of the four people were also in quite miserable condition. The only one who was unharmed was Chonggo.
He was neither injured nor panting. From the looks of it, he ran all the way down as if he was very relaxed and didn't feel tired.
This is also related to his efforts to avoid fighting, and before that, Zuosuke reminded him that if he encounters someone attacking the stronghold, just leave without fighting.
Given his trust in Sasuke, Jonggo fled the stronghold the moment the alarm sounded and met at the place designated by Sasuke ahead.
As for the four people in Yinyin, he met them by chance on his way to escape.
Obviously, they could not withstand the enemies attacking the stronghold, so they chose to abandon the stronghold and tactically evacuate.
After all, the enemy's firepower was fierce. In that case, there was no way to join up with the others. Short of death, the only way to escape was to escape.
Not only them, Chongwu also saw many people escaping from the stronghold along the way.
"The other party is wearing a miko uniform. She must be a miko from the land of ghosts."
Tayuya grabbed the recorder in his hand, remembered something and said.
"Well, shrine maidens who can do ninjutsu... are only found in that country. Damn it, how come a ninja from the country of ghosts appears here?"
As the strongest among the four, Sakon angrily punched the tree next to him and gritted his teeth, seeming to be extremely angry about this matter.
Jirobo hesitated for a moment and replied: "Is it okay for us to leave like this? People from the Kingdom of Demons raided the stronghold, most likely for Lord Orochimaru."
"The gap in strength between us and her is too big. In that case, going up to fight is just making a unnecessary sacrifice. And I believe that she was not the only one who came to attack the stronghold at that time. Someone may have sneaked in in advance. The latest one
Where is the base?"
Sakon suddenly raised his head, straightened his face, and asked.
"Sakon, do you want to gather men from other strongholds and then counterattack back?"
Kidomaru seemed to understand Sakon's plan.
"I have this idea. The previous retreat was a last resort. In that case, we could only flee and evacuate. But now we must recruit more people to go back and make meritorious service. Otherwise, Orochimaru-sama will be blamed, and none of us will get any good results.
.”
Sakon said so.
Although the previous escape was a temporary measure, it was impossible to really abandon that stronghold.
The other three of the four people fell silent and agreed to Sakon's proposal.
"I don't know how Master Zuosuke is doing at this time."
A worried look appeared on Tayuya's face at this time.
When the stronghold was attacked, all the Otogakure ninjas who were stationed there went out to meet the enemy.
As a result, they quickly suffered a disastrous defeat under the enemy's fierce attack.
In addition, the enemy deliberately blocked the entrance to the stronghold, leaving them no room to retreat to the stronghold and conduct a tactical retreat. They had no choice but to flee into the mountains and forests to avoid making unnecessary sacrifices.
Another thing that worries Tayuya is that the timing of the Demon Country's attack is too coincidental.
It happened to be the critical moment for Orochimaru to hold the reincarnation ceremony, which reminded Tayuya of some bad things.
"Hmph." When Sakon heard this name, he felt extremely unhappy in his heart. He sneered and said: "Stop worrying about this dead man's name so much, Tayuya. That guy Uchiha Sasuke has already been killed by Orochimaru-sama at this time.
Everything has been taken away. His fate of having everything taken away has long been doomed."
Compared to the sadness on Tayuya's face, Jugo, who was silently paying attention to all this, seemed very calm at the time and was not affected by Sakon's contemptuous words.
After striking Tayuya, Sakon glanced at Jugo who was silent and a look of fear flashed in his eyes.
"Hey, Jugo, where are you going next? Do you want to gather men with us and counterattack? Following an arrogant and arrogant guy like Uchiha Sasuke is not as promising as continuing to follow Orochimaru-sama."
Sakon's words contained the intention of wooing Jugo.
In the end, Chongwu just glanced at him indifferently, just like a stone statue, standing there silently with his eyes closed.
When Sakon saw Jugo ignoring him and just closing his eyes to rest, his face suddenly darkened and he looked extremely sad.
