Xili was suffocated and felt a black shadow covering him, and he didn't even see clearly what kind of monster was eating him.
But the grass ninja on the side saw it clearly.
It was a huge blue thing, as big as a tailed beast, and its rock-like scales were extremely hard.
Their ninjutsu and shurikens hit it, only making a clanging sound of metal, without even breaking a trace of flesh.
The big snake swallowed Xili and made no move to attack Kusanagi.
It dived into the ground and flew away, leaving only a long earth dragon and the earth that had been plundered once again.
"Captain, what should we do?"
A grass ninja asked without any discernment.
Haruma Uemura's face darkened, and he resisted the urge to curse.
what to do?
What else can be done?
He lost a full squadron and so many elite teams that blocked the border, and ended up killing an insignificant woman.
They failed to grab the most important supply scrolls, and their attack on the Konoha ninjas was also exposed.
I'm afraid I will have to bear Konoha's full revenge next.
However, the Grass Ninja Village has already considered this. If Konoha Village retaliates against them, they will turn to Kumogakure Village.
The Grass Ninja Village is a second-tier force besides the five major countries.
Although it is not as good as the five major countries, it is still a considerable fighting force.
Haruma Uemura believes that the current Konoha Village will not be so foolish as to cause trouble for them, at least it will not start a full-scale war with them.
The only thing they have to do is to end the war in the Kingdom of Rain as soon as possible, and after completing that transaction, quickly enter the stage of recuperation.
Although Uemura Harama is very reluctant to admit it.
But this mission failed.
"retreat!"
Following Uemura Harama's order, the grass ninjas came and went as quickly as they came, disappearing in the direction of the Land of Grass in the blink of an eye.
…
Fire Country, Northeastern Border, Konoha Camp.
Uchiha Shin and his party returned to the camp with the newly acquired supply scrolls, and were immediately called to the main tent by Uchiha Fugaku to inquire about the situation.
"Lord Patriarch."
"You're back? What's going on with the Nishimura team?"
The old god Uchiha Fugaku was sitting on the main seat, and his eyes signaled Uchiha to sit down.
Uchiha Shinya is not polite, he is Uchiha Fugaku's confidant, and he is also Uchiha Fugaku's shadow guard.
The relationship between the two is very good.
"The Nishimura team must have been wiped out. That scroll was not brought back."
Uchiha reported simply.
"As for the scroll, it doesn't matter. The supplies in the village are almost ready, and they will probably be delivered within a week."
Uchiha Fugaku nodded and said nonchalantly.
All he needs is a supply scroll to bring back. He doesn't need much as long as he can survive this period of time.
Then, Uchiha Fugaku pondered for a moment.
He secretly activated his perception technique, and after sensing that no one else was eavesdropping, he continued to ask.
"Where's the other team?"
"When Hinata died, his eyes were also taken away. I suspect that the bull-headed kid did it, but he refused to admit it. The other two people are also dead."
Uchiha said so.
As for the other two members of the ANBU team, they were purely bastards arranged by Danzo to join them, and they were taken over by him with just one word.
"So that bull-headed brat is still alive?"
Uchiha Fugaku raised his eyebrows slightly, somewhat admiring that the bull-headed brat was so lucky that he was tricked by someone in the group and didn't die? Is he an immortal brat?
However, when he thought of Xi Li's magical blood inheritance limit, he felt a little pity.
After all, Xili and Uchiha get along pretty well, and they are also Uchiha Itachi's teammates.
Uchiha nodded, paused, and said firmly, "At least he was still alive when we left."
He was only responsible for bringing back the information, and Uchiha Fugaku could only analyze the rest.
When they broke through the grass ninja blockade, the sound of explosions from the detonating talisman was still heard from the woods, so they judged that Seeli was still alive.
As for what will happen next, he is not sure.
"Go and rest first. If you stay in the camp for the next few days, Yun Ren can't sit still."
Uchiha Fugaku did not continue to ask, but instead changed the topic and reminded him.
Uchiha really didn't say much, got up and left.
Only Uchiha Fugaku was left in the main tent, sitting silently.
Shao Shi
Uchiha Fugaku walked outside the camp and ordered, "Go and invite the Nara clan chief and the Hyuga clan chief over and tell them that the medical supplies from the Land of Grass have arrived."
The supplies have arrived, and it's time for them to fight back.
Being pressed and beaten all the time, the clay figurine is still angry!
"yes!"
An Uchiha tribesman took the order and left.
…
In the Kingdom of Grass, inside a gloomy and dark cave.
tick tick tick
The water flow inside the mountain converges at one point and drips down from the top of the cave, forming a small beach below.
While sleeping, Xili felt his cheeks were itchy, cool and a little moist.
He subconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked it
Is it water?
And touch?
Isn't I dead?
As his consciousness gradually returned, Xili remembered that he was covered by a large-scale attack by a group of grass ninjas. At the last moment, it seemed that some monster came out of the ground and swallowed him!
At that time, I only felt a shadow shrouding it, and I couldn't see clearly at all.
Thinking of this
Si Li, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes. What he saw was the top of the cave where water droplets were condensed, and sharp stalactites hung above his head.
"What kind of place is this? It shouldn't be a pure land for the dead, right?"
Seeli noticed the little guy at his hand and quickly stretched out his hand to detect the other person's breath.
Breathing and temperature.
It's alive!
"Are you awake? Mr. Xili"
A low, hoarse and magnetic voice sounded, and a figure suddenly appeared beside him, casting a shadow over Xili and the little guy.
Xi Li subconsciously looked up
I'll be a good boy!
Big, big, Orochimaru??
Seeing this guy, Xi Li, felt bad all over. Even if he faced Raikage, he was not afraid, because Raikage was also the representative of Steel Fist.
It's just that, it's totally true.
But Orochimaru is different. This guy knows too many messy techniques.
God knows if there is anyone who can restrain his ability?
Moreover, Orochimaru likes to cut people into slices and study them. Seely hates being treated as a guinea pig. Just thinking about it makes his scalp numb.
"Emmm, you saved me?"
Seely asked, having nothing to say.
"That's right, come with me."
Orochimaru said without denying, then turned and walked out of the quiet cave.
Seeli hesitated for a moment, then stood up and followed.
His eyes moved downwards and landed on Orochimaru.
Only then did he notice that the clothes Orochimaru was wearing were not the simple purple belt tied with a loose, simple gown.
But the red cloud and black bottom trench coat that makes a lot of money!
These are clearly Akatsuki's clothes!
Is Orochimaru joining Akatsuki?
He opened his mouth to ask, but the words came to his lips and he choked them back.
In the end, he didn't speak.
Seeli followed Orochimaru out of the cave and walked into another cave, only to find that it was completely different from the previous natural cave.
This is clearly an experimental base!
And some researchers in white coats are doing some kind of experiment, or to be more precise, they are analyzing some kind of blood sample.
