I received news from the White Zetsu clone that Orochimaru had recently appeared in the Country of Yu.
Without wasting any time, Xili left a letter and left alone.
When Jiraiya saw this letter, it was already dawn the next day. He was holding his head to sober up after a night of hangover when he suddenly heard a movement outside the house.
It seemed to be coming from Seely's room.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of rapid footsteps, and it was Inuzuka Wolf rushing over with a group of Konoha ninjas.
"Jiraiya-sama, please look at this!"
Inuzuka Wolf handed a letter to Jiraiya and added, "Boss, he left alone, saying he was going to Yu no Kuni."
Jiraiya took the letter, which contained only one sentence.
I went to the country of soup.
"Did Orochimaru appear in Tang Country? Who gave the news? Why did Xili believe it so easily?"
Jiraiya also sobered up a lot from his hangover. He sat up straight and held the letter in his hand.
thinking...
"Who is the search team from Yuno Country?"
Jiraiya thought that with Xili's speed, it would be difficult for his team to catch up. Maybe everything would be over by the time they arrived at Yuno Country.
Instead of their team chasing after them, it would be better to send the news back and let the search team heading to Yuno Country support Xili.
"Yunokuni...should be the team of the Hyuga clan."
Inuzuka Wolf is responsible for leading the team and contacting Konoha, and he happens to know the mission organization of Yunokuni.
That team included his sister Inuzuka Hana, who was not a biological sister. People of the same generation in the big family were treated as brothers and sisters.
Yunokuni is an island country isolated overseas. It is obviously better to search for Byakugan on the sea than the ninja dogs of the Inuzuka clan and the bugs of the Aburame clan.
"It's too late for us to rush over. Let's send the news back to the team over there for support."
Jiraiya rubbed the center of his brows. He didn't know whether it was because of the hangover or because of Xili's random behavior, but he always felt a pain in his head.
"clear."
Inuzuka Wolf turned around and walked out of the room.
At this time, the tavern proprietress who heard the commotion came over with food.
Jiraiya felt that his headache disappeared immediately, and his eyes shone brightly as he looked at the two young ladies who came in carrying food.
…
The Kingdom of Tang.
I have to admire Orochimaru for this. Underground bases are everywhere like ant holes.
In a dark cell in a hidden underground base.
Izumi, who had been in a toxin-forced coma, suddenly woke up.
During this time, Orochimaru moved very carefully to avoid being searched by Konoha spies, and he also neglected to control Izumi's poison.
The human body produces antibodies.
Exposure to the same medicine for a long time will weaken the effectiveness of the medicine.
The snake venom Orochimaru gave to Izumi only suppressed chakra activity and made her fall into a coma. It was not a fatal poison.
If he had Xili's physique, he might have woken up as early as the first day.
Izumi's strength is not weak, and Orochimaru keeps changing the poison configuration, so she has been in a coma.
But Orochimaru has not had time to talk to Izumi in the past few days.
so...
"Well, here."
Izumi opened her eyes, with a confused look in her eyes. Although she was awake, her meaning was still vague.
After all, after being asleep for so long, the body is in the lowest active state.
However, Izumi is very strong, especially mentally.
After a few minutes, she woke up completely.
She was attacked by Chie... no, she was attacked by Orochimaru, and her body was poisoned by snake venom. It was not clear what kind of poison it was.
But now Izumi feels that her whole body is unable to exert her strength, and her chakra is basically unable to be concentrated.
"Can't even use the Sharingan?"
Izumi moved her neck with difficulty, looked down at her body, and found a thick iron quilt covering her body!
Just like the literal meaning, an iron chain as thick as an arm tightly trapped her on the stone bed.
Not to mention that the body is under the suppression of toxins, even if it is in a normal state, it is impossible to break free of the iron lock simply by strength.
"That guy Orochimaru is quite careful."
Surprisingly, Izumi herself was not panicked at all. She knew Orochimaru's abilities and he was reincarnated once every three years.
Chie...
Although we don’t know why Orochimaru chose to occupy Chie Aoyama’s body, Orochimaru has been included in Izumi’s must-kill list.
For now, she just needs to wait and regain her strength.
Xiao Xixi will definitely come to save her!
Just when Izumi closed her eyes and prepared to rest her mind and regain her strength, there was a loud bang and the entire cell trembled.
Izumi opened her eyes suddenly, then closed them immediately.
Wow!
Countless amounts of fine sand and gravel fell from the gaps in the stone slabs above her head, pouring all over her body.
There is no other candidate besides Xili for this kind of news!
"Xiao Xixi... do you want to smash me to death?"
Izumi couldn't exert any strength, so she could only lie on the stone bed and pray that the cell would be strong enough.
Under Bai Jue's intentional or unintentional guidance, Xili found Orochimaru's base without spending much effort.
There is only one way for the Bull Demon King to open the door, and that is with his feet!
As soon as he stepped on it, huge force poured into the ground, the entire stratum broke, and the ground that lost support collapsed instantly.
Seeli followed the sinking ground into Orochimaru's base.
When Orochimaru, who was studying soul power in the laboratory, heard this thing, his hand movements paused slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
This movement must be Xili, there is no need to doubt it.
Orochimaru just didn't expect that Seeli would come so quickly. He had obviously arranged for someone to draw Konoha's attention to other places.
No one should know that he is in Tang Country.
God’s perspective is open!
Scanning across the entire experimental base like a carpet, Xili's priority was looking for the laboratory, and Orochimaru would be in the laboratory 10 times out of 10!
really!
Xili fell into the ground and barely had time to breathe before he saw Orochimaru who was doing experiments!
"You can't run away this time!"
In an instant, a violent aura filled the entire underground base.
Orochimaru ignored the experiment in his hands and transformed his lower body into a snake body, quickly twisting and jumping toward the emergency escape tunnel.
At the same time, a hard and heavy door fell down.
Once this stone door falls, it cannot be opened for a short period of time. This is a defensive method specifically designed to block the enemy's pursuit.
The purpose is to buy time.
It's a pity that Xili is faster!
Zzizizi!!
A harsh thunder sounded, and an electric arc flashed suddenly, passing straight through the laboratory and following Orochimaru into the escape tunnel.
The huge boulder fell with a rumble, and only half of the huge boulder at the entrance of the passage fell down!
"We haven't seen each other for so long. Why are you running so fast?"
"We are old friends, Orochimaru!"
Whoosh!
With a teleportation technique, Xili flashed right in front of Orochimaru, blocking Orochimaru's escape path.
Seeing that he couldn't run away, Orochimaru locked himself in place.
He licked his tongue and showed a cold smile, "Haha, it's been a long time indeed, Mr. Xili."
