Konoha Tatsuno

In the narrow forest path, the third Hokage of Konoha Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and two ANBU ninjas were walking forward quietly.

This is the fifth day since they left Konoha Village.

After five days of traveling, they were almost reaching the southeastern border of the Kingdom of Fire.

After crossing the eastern border, Sandai and the others will enter the borders of the Kingdom of Iron.

In a dense forest two or three kilometers away from the Sandaime and others, a Konoha ANBU ninja was jumping around in the forest, looking around with his eyes.

Suddenly, the ANBU ninja stopped.

Not far in front of him, the ANBU ninja saw a familiar figure.

On a big tree in the woods ahead, Orochimaru stood quietly on the branch of the big tree with his hands in his pockets.

"Lord Orochimaru, Lord Hokage and the others are right behind you."

Seeing Orochimaru, the ANBU ninja quickly knelt down on one knee and saluted, and then said respectfully.

"Okay! Your mission has been completed, go ahead!"

Orochimaru waved his hands expressionlessly.

"Yes"

The ANBU ninja responded respectfully, then quickly dodged away.

Not long after this ANBU ninja left, the three generations gradually appeared in the woods.

While walking, Sandai stopped.

He had already seen Orochimaru standing on the branch of the tree.

"Teacher, long time no see!"

Seeing the third generation, Orochimaru said with a smile on his face.

When this smile fell in the eyes of the two ANBU ninjas next to Sandai, they felt cold all over and froze on the spot.

The third generation looked at Orochimaru with complex eyes and said slowly: "Orochimaru, you have really fallen completely."

"Fallen? Teacher, you are old!" Orochimaru replied softly and noncommittally.

The third generation glanced at Orochimaru's left and right sides, and then said in a solemn voice: "Where are the people from Fukui?"

Orochimaru said: "I have already asked him to leave."

The third generation's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and after a few seconds he said in a solemn voice: "It seems that I am really old! I didn't expect that you even bribed the members of my escort team."

Orochimaru said calmly: "Teacher, your ideas are too old-fashioned and conservative! Fukui didn't want to watch you lead Konoha to sink, so he turned to me."

Three generations are silent.

After a while, Sandai slowly took off his god robe and shadow hat, then threw them to an ANBU ninja beside him and said, "Are you here this time to stop me from going to the Iron Kingdom?"

Orochimaru shook his head and said: "Teacher, you still don't understand me. I have no interest in the Five Shadows Conference at all. I just want to achieve changes in the village."

As he said that, Orochimaru glanced at the two Anbu ninjas next to Sandai and said: "Teacher, the next battle is a bit dangerous. You'd better keep them away."

The third generation nodded when he heard this, and ordered the two ANBU ninjas: "You all stay away."

The two ANBU ninjas heard this and said anxiously: "Hokage-sama, our duty is to protect your safety."

The third generation shook his head and said solemnly: "The battle with Orochimaru must be quite noisy. There is no point in you staying here. Go quickly!"

Looking at the determined third generation, the two ANBU ninjas had to obey orders even though they were unwilling.

Immediately, they all glanced at Orochimaru, then stepped back.

The three generations and Orochimaru were facing each other from a distance.

sassy~

Suddenly, the two people's figures flashed at the same time, and each pulled out an afterimage and rushed towards the other.

boom! boom! boom!

In an instant, the sound of fists and feet colliding began to sound in the woods.

The two ANBU ninjas retreated dozens of meters away, and one of them said, "Is Hokage-sama in danger?"

Another person replied: "Don't worry! Lord Hokage's strength is incomparable to Orochimaru's!"

Although this man said this, there was an obvious hint of worry in his words.

sassy sassy~

Just as the two ANBU ninjas were watching the battle with worried eyes, a series of piercing sounds sounded in the air, and more than 20 Kusagakure ninjas brought by Orochimaru rushed over from all directions.

"Not good! There is an ambush!"

Seeing the Kusagakure ninjas coming from all directions, the two ANBU ninjas changed their expressions, and one of them exclaimed.

With that said, they wanted to approach the fighting Third Generation and Orochimaru again, preparing to deliver the message to the Third Generation.

However, just when the two ANBU ninjas were about to move, two figures appeared in front of them in a flash, blocking their way.

When they saw the person coming, the two of them were obviously taken aback.

These are two young boys, Kimimaro and Jugo.

At this time, Kimimaro had taken off his shirt, and was looking at the two ANBU ninjas with his naked eyes.

On the side, Jugo's eyes were gradually showing signs of congestion, and his whole person was in a state of mania that was about to explode.

In the air, an icy murderous intent spread.

"this is,,"

Feeling the killing intent coming from Kimimaro and Jugo, the two ANBU ninjas were shocked.

Just as the two ANBU ninjas were hesitating, the other Kusagakure village ninjas were already scattered on all sides, faintly surrounding Orochimaru and the Third Hokage who were fighting.

Four of them each occupied one side and began to quickly form seals with their hands.

More than ten seconds later, the four of them completed the seal almost at the same time, and then pressed their right hands to the ground.

Four Purple Flame Array!

Immediately, starting from the four people who formed the seal, a wall of flames rose from the east, west, north, and south, trapping the two fighting men firmly in the middle of the formation.

Within the formation, after a violent collision of fists and feet, the three generations and Orochimaru retreated.

After a battle of physical skills, neither master nor disciple took advantage.

The third generation glanced at the four-purple flame array rising around him, with an extremely solemn expression on his face.

It seems that Orochimaru is planning to leave him as a teacher here completely.

Sighing softly from the bottom of his heart, Sandai formed a seal with both hands. A flash of white smoke flashed, and several shurikens appeared in his hands.

The third generation threw the shuriken, and then quickly formed a seal.

After the seal was completed, dozens or hundreds of shurikens were immediately separated from the several shurikens thrown by the third generation in the air, forming a dense sword array in the air and attacking Orochimaru.

When Orochimaru saw this, he quickly formed seals with his hands.

Wind escape. Big breakthrough

A violent hurricane erupted from his mouth and rolled towards the flying shuriken array.

Swept by the strong wind, a large number of shurikens were twisted and attacked elsewhere, with only a few still attacking Orochimaru.

At the same time, Orochimaru spit out the Kusanagi sword from his mouth, and the long sword drew a ball of sword flowers in the air, knocking down all the small number of attacking shurikens to the ground.

On the opposite side, after Sandai performed the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, he kept moving his hands and unleashed another Earth Release Earth Dragon Bullet.

On the ground under his feet, an earth dragon opened its mouth, and countless earth bullets shot out from it, attacking Orochimaru densely.

Boom boom~

In the woods shrouded by the four-purple flame formation, there were constant explosions.

The third generation and Orochimaru were using ninjutsu to fight against each other.
