In an underground base far away from Konoha Village, Orochimaru leaned on a stone chair, with a sharp and sinister look like a snake, scanning the helpless white in front of him.

After a long time, Orochimaru chuckled and said, "Shira, welcome back!"

Although Orochimaru's smile gave a creepy feeling, Bai still breathed a little relieved and whispered: "I'm sorry, I've worried you."

Orochimaru pretended to be casual and said, "Where is everything OK in the mirror?"

Bai nodded quickly: "Well, Lord Jing takes good care of me."

"Is that..." After thinking for a while, Orochimaru asked again: "What have you done with him?"

Bai recalled it carefully and replied, "It seems that I didn't do anything. Lord Jing just tested my ninjutsu, and then...and there was nothing."

Orochimaru frowned slightly: "Just test ninjutsu!?"

Bai seemed to remember something: "By the way, Lord Jing also extracted some of my blood and cells."

Orochimaru thought to himself: "Hmph, no wonder he wants to get cell fusion-related technology from me. It turns out that he has been secretly conducting human experiments!"

Bai's statement, coupled with the information exchange conditions proposed to Orochimaru by Hinata before, immediately made Orochimaru understand that Hinata was also conducting some kind of human experiment.

However, due to the lack of intelligence, Orochimaru is currently unable to determine what the direction of Hinata's test is.

"He abandoned the laboratory that I left for him, which means he has opened a brand new laboratory elsewhere. As long as he finds that laboratory, he can figure out his research project."

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's mind was no longer on Shiraki, so he told him, "Go down and rest."

"yes!"

Bai responded and then stepped down with restraint.

Shirak had already remembered that Hinata had used the "Soul Arrival Art" on him, but he saw that Orochimaru had no interest in continuing to listen to his statement, and he didn't know how to accurately describe the situation at that time, so he hesitated for a moment. In the end, he chose to remain silent and did not say this thing that he himself was confused about.

After Bai retreated, Pharmacist Dori came out of the shadow: "Sir Orochimaru, news came from Shennong."

"What did he say?"

The pharmacist pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Shennong said that his actions will take about a month, so that you don't worry, he will cooperate with you at the right time."

"Don't worry?" The look of sullenness climbed on Orochimaru's cheek, but soon he grinned and said, "Is this guy Shennong going to start his plan too?"

With the successful example of Hinata Mitsu, Orochimaru's concept has long been reversed. He knew very well that as long as Shennong could find a chakra source as huge and stable as the "Dragon Vein", it would not be a fool to create an artificial tailed beast, so he was also somewhat expectant of it.

Soon, Orochimaru took back his thoughts: "Is it a month, I can afford to wait..."

Pharmacist Dori asked again at this time: "Sir Orochimaru, how are you going to deal with Bai?"

It is obvious that the pharmacist was a little worried that Shiraki had been brainwashed by Hinata and turned against Hinata to become Hinata's spy. After all, the process of finding Shiraki was too easy.

Orochimaru pondered for a moment, then ordered: "You go and arrange it, I will plant a curse seal for him myself tomorrow!"

The ‘Shield’ is the latest research result of Orochimaru. He conducted countless experiments based on the strange phenomenon that Shigeo was born to absorb natural energy, and finally allowed him to master a method that could use Shigeo’s bloodline and use natural energy in disguise. This method is the ‘Shield’ he mentioned just now.

After mastering the "curse seal", Orochimaru, who was full of fantasy ideas, began a new attempt.

This attempt was to incorporate his own chakra and part of his soul into the "curse seal" and then inject it into other people's bodies through the "curse seal".

In this way, all ninjas carrying the "cursive seal" became Orochimaru's "resurrection point".

As long as any of these ninjas carrying the "cursive seal" is alive, even if the corpse of Orochimaru's original deity is gone, Orochimaru may be resurrected through these ninjas carrying the "cursive seal".

………

In the woods outside Konoha Village.

clang clang clang clang…

A series of metal collisions resounded throughout the forest.

Hinata Mitsuki's body was like lightning, and the long sword danced with it. The sword blade seemed to merge with his body, creating a field of sword shadows around him.

As an opponent, Itachi was urging Sharingan with all his strength at this moment. Three magmas rotated rapidly in their scarlet eyes, and their scarlet eyes were also swinging left and right in his eyes, trying to capture all the attacks of Hinata Mitsuki.

However, Hinata's movements were too rapid. Even if he activated the Sharingan with all his strength, Itachi could only use the Kuna in his hand to barely defend.

After blocking Hinata Mitsuo several sharp slashes, Itachi seized a gap and shoveled hard under his feet, sweeping the floating snow on the ground towards Hinata Mitsuo.

At the same time, Itachi took the opportunity to retreat and distance himself from Hinata Mitsuki.

“Huhu…”

After retreating, Itachi gasped heavily while thinking about the countermeasures.

After the battle just now, he could clearly feel that the opponent in front of him had the keen insight of the Uchiha clan, but his combat style was different from that of the ordinary Uchiha.

Compared to the Uchiha tribe who is used to showing off skills and performing fire escape ninjutsu, the opponent in front of him obviously prefers the fierce physical attack!

"Whether it is the speed and strength of the body, or the pupil power and insight of the Sharingan, she is better than me. If I continue to be in her attack rhythm, I may not be able to hold on for long..."

Itachi suppressed his impetuous mood and began to formulate a combat plan.

At this time, Hinata Mitsuki, not far away, gently shook off the snowflakes on her body and said indifferently: "Is it only this level?"

Itachi didn't say anything, and while staring at Hinata's heart calmly, he put his hands into the ninja bag on his waist.

Because I don’t know the specific content of the assessment, Ishiro, who is used to preparing for everything in advance, is already fully armed before going out.

sough...

In an instant, the two of them used the instantaneous body technique at the same time, turning into two afterimages, stirring up a large area of ​​snow fog!

clang...

clang...

clang...

Two afterimages kept colliding in the forest, emitting firelights that only when metal hit violently!
Chapter completed!
