The reputation of the three ninjas is as thunderous as the ninjas of Konoha.
Although Orochimaru did not arrive in person, he only sent a small snake to deliver the message.
But neither Nara Langui nor the pharmacist Nonoyu would ignore the existence of this scroll.
Not to mention that the recorded information on this scroll was specially written using encrypted text at the root!
Nara Langui could think with his toes that Orochimaru's sudden visit was definitely related to the roots.
Pharmacist Nonoyu took the scroll, translated the text on the scroll very skillfully, and relayed it at the same time.
"What this scroll says is that Lord Orochimaru invited me and Lan Gui to meet in the forest on the outskirts of Platycodon Castle."
Just a meeting?
Nara Langui was a little surprised, and asked the key point: "Does this scroll mention the existence of 'roots'?"
"No." Medicine Master Nonoyu read the scroll again and replied with certainty.
Nara Langui's brows wrinkled slightly.
Orochimaru deliberately used the encrypted text at the root to contact Kikyo Orphanage. The meaning behind this is self-evident——
He just received the order from his roots, so he acted as he did today.
Nara Langui knew that there was some "unclear" relationship between Orochimaru and Danzo Shimura.
It's just that he didn't expect that the two of them had hooked up before the start of the Third Ninja War...
But the problem is, according to Nara Langui, the bad relationship between pharmacist Nonou and Genbe.
If Danzo Shimura really sent Orochimaru here, the contact attitude of the other party would definitely not be so polite——
wrong!
Nara Langui suddenly remembered the fat nun who disappeared for no reason, and asked again.
"Sister Nonoyu, do you think the nun's disappearance has anything to do with Orochimaru?"
"A nun is just an ordinary person. Lord Orochimaru should not..."
Yakushi Nonou was originally inclined to be a dignified Sannin and would not do anything that would threaten the lives of ordinary people.
But at this moment, Shimura Danzo's bandaged face and his previous threatening remarks suddenly flashed through her mind.
Pharmacist No Naiyu frowned and changed his words: "I can't be sure either."
After some discussion, Nara Langui and pharmacist Nonoyu decided to go to the forest on the outskirts of the city for an appointment together.
However, considering the potential risks of meeting Orochimaru, the two of them still made some preparations in advance.
…
When Nara and Gui came to the agreed place in the forest on the outskirts of the city.
Orochimaru, wearing a green Jonin vest and a Konoha forehead protector, was waiting here alone.
"Are you really here to keep your appointment?"
Orochimaru's iconic husky voice sounded in the forest, and the birds fluttered their wings and flew away.
"Yakushi-san, Nara-kun."
"Lord Orochimaru."
Pharmacist Nonoyu took a step forward and responded according to social etiquette.
Nara Langui was also very knowledgeable, but while he was returning the favor, he had been using his [lacquer eyes] to observe the surrounding environment.
Somewhat surprisingly, there was no unusual chakra flow in the surrounding woods.
There is really only Orochimaru here.
"Lord Orochimaru, please invite us two over..."
Yakushi Nonou originally planned to continue to be polite, but Orochimaru obviously had no intention of doing so.
"You two must also know the reason and purpose of my coming here, right?"
Orochimaru stretched out his slender blood-red snake tongue and gently licked the corner of his mouth.
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold and chilling aura started from where he was standing and struck in the direction of Nara Langui and Yakushi Nonoyu.
Pharmacist Nonoyu's pupils shrank slightly, and she felt that a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood suddenly flashed before her eyes. The rich smell of blood made her almost nauseous, and her delicate body hidden under the nun's robe trembled slightly.
Nara Langui also felt the approach of this shocking murderous intent, but his mental strength had already surpassed the A level, and his on-the-spot performance was more stable than that of the pharmacist Nonou next to him.
"It's just pure murderous intent, but there is no actual murderous intention."
Nara Langui looked at Orochimaru from a distance and said calmly.
"Is Shimura Danzo's order to threaten the two of us?"
"Hehehe..."
Orochimaru calmed down his momentum, let out a chuckle, and observed Nara Langui with interest.
"Nara-kun, you are indeed the same as what I learned before, you are a somewhat overconfident boy.
"In any case, Danzo Shimura is a powerful village elder. We need to respect him, right?"
Nara Langui smiled noncommittally.
Everyone refers to Shimura Danzo by name, and no one can make fun of anyone for looking down on the other person.
"Of course there are jonins in the village who are worthy of respect, such as the director of the Platycodon Orphanage, and the two generations of monitors of the jounin class."
Nara Langui did not hide his contempt and hostility at all.
"But Danzo Shimura, is he worthy?"
"I'm really becoming more and more interested in you, Nara-kun."
The curious light in Orochimaru's eyes became more intense.
"Elder Danzo Shimura did give me a mission order, the kind of mission you should all be aware of.
"After all, you have experienced it once before."
As soon as Orochimaru said these words.
Pharmacist Nonoyu subconsciously touched the weapons in his ninja bag.
Nara Langui also condensed his eyes and prepared himself mentally for the battle.
But Orochimaru suddenly changed the topic.
"But Danzo Shimura has his own ideas, and I also have mine."
Having said this, Orochimaru took the initiative to extend his sickly white palm towards Nara Langui, and his hoarse voice was filled with a poppy-like temptation.
"Nara-kun, I know you are a unique child.
"To a genius like you, the Nara clan is like a speck of duckweed on a pond.
"Its strength is too weak and weak, and it cannot support the vigorous growth of a young tree, or even withstand the turbulence of too many winds and waves, so...
"Want to come under my command and see a broader landscape together, and taste the new trend that shakes the times?"
Yakushi Nonoyu looked at the Sannin opposite in shock.
She never expected that Orochimaru's goal was to recruit Nara Langui!
However, facing the recruitment of the Sannin, who was almost at the top of Konoha's power pyramid, Nara Langui just chuckled.
"Lord Orochimaru, do you know?"
He suddenly started talking about seemingly insignificant topics.
"After graduating from the Ninja School, I was unable to become a qualified ninja due to physical problems.
"But with the arrangements made by the Ninja School teachers, I successfully entered the animal training and rehabilitation class of the Medical Department."
"I have already learned about Nara-kun's life trajectory from Elder Danzo Shimura."
Orochimaru didn't show any displeasure, he just said cooperatively.
"But I believe that with Nara-kun's level, he probably won't stay in the animal training and rehabilitation class for too long, right?"
"It's indeed shorter than expected."
Nara Langui responded happily, telling top-secret information that only he, Tsunade and Inuzukazu knew.
"I was fired before I even started working."
"..."
Even with Orochimaru's psychological quality, he almost showed a dull expression after hearing this.
You leave it here and leave it here!
"Now that Nara-kun has left the animal training and recuperation class, he has regained his free status."
Orochimaru patiently spoke.
"Or...Nara-kun has joined another department?"
"To be precise, I don't know either."
Nara Langui spread his hands.
"The last boss who came into contact with my ninja files was probably the director of the medical department.
"In other words, if you have to say it, I should be Tsunade-hime's subordinate now."
Is this guy a subordinate of Tsunade?
Are you kidding!?
Orochimaru's pupils shrank slightly.
Why was this matter not mentioned at all in the root intelligence network?
"So..."
Nara Langui deliberately put on a curious posture.
"Lord Orochimaru, are you going to discuss recruiting me with Tsunade-sama?"
Looking at the smiling boy opposite, the smile on Orochimaru's sickly white face gradually faded away.
"Nara-kun, do you think that with Tsunade standing behind me, I won't do anything to you?"
"How could..."
Nara Langui waved his hand, he still knew how cold-blooded Aunt Snake - no, it should be Uncle Snake now - was.
"I just want to say that we are two completely different types of ninjas.
"Lord Orochimaru, you aspire to become a new trend that shakes the times.
"But for me, living in the pond is leisurely enough."
Looking at Nara Langui's attitude of coveting comfort and not making progress.
A faint feeling of jealousy and dissatisfaction arose in Orochimaru's heart for no reason.
The war is breaking out, and people are dying every moment, turning into the most humble dust.
How come you, a brat from the Nara clan, can eat all day long and have nothing to do?!
"hehe……"
Orochimaru laughed again, but this time his laughter was obviously much colder than before.
"I will convey Nara-kun's thoughts to Tsunade later.
"But now...let me give you a small gift!"
It's too late, it's too late.
Orochimaru's neck suddenly stretched like rubber, his head "flyed" directly from his neck, and his long black hair danced wildly in the sky like a black snake.
Like a poisonous snake that chooses people to eat, Orochimaru opened his bloody mouth and bit hard at Nara Langui's body.
"Lan Gui!"
Pharmacist Nonoyu subconsciously exclaimed. She wanted to take a step forward and block Nara Langui.
But unfortunately, her speed was still a bit slower than Orochimaru.
Orochimaru's snake neck tightly wrapped around Nara Langui's body, and the two sharp fangs in his bloody mouth, the tips condensed with a few drops of "venom", emitted an awe-inspiring cold light under the sunlight.
