Undercurrent of Konoha

"Before I leave... I'll leave you some souvenirs..."

Orochimaru lifted the sleeve of his left arm, revealing a snake-shaped pattern coiling around his wrist.

He bit his right thumb and scarlet blood smeared on the snake-shaped pattern on his wrist.

"Psychic-!"

A python dozens of times larger than before suddenly appeared in front of everyone. It was staring at two yellow-green eyes as big as a lantern, spitting out dark red snake letters several meters long, and its entire body was coiled up like a towering hill.

"Run—!"

Heiji roared, grabbed Uchiha Sasuke with his left hand, Haruno Sakura with his right hand, and jumped out with all his strength.

Boom - boom!

There was a loud noise like the sky falling and the earth falling.

The giant snake twitched its huge tail, cutting down all the big trees within a radius of tens of meters.

In front of the giant snake, these towering trees were like weak saplings.

Heiji took Sasuke and Haruno Sakura and fled to a safe distance in an instant. When he turned around, he saw that the forest behind had turned into a mess. Apart from the giant snake showing off its power, there were no traces of other people anywhere.

Orochimaru had apparently taken advantage of the chaos and left.

Heiji's heart sank, and he swayed his body and approached the giant snake.

Uzumaki Naruto, Hyuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba... these people are completely invisible, and may be in a very dangerous situation now.

As for Hyuga Neji, Heiji wasn't worried at all.

Known as the strongest genin in the Hidden Leaf Village and the genius boy of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Neji definitely has sufficient ability to protect himself.

"Baguazhang! Huitian——!"

Countless broken branches and broken wood were suddenly rolled into the air, and a blurred figure was seen spinning rapidly on the spot, forming an almost circular empty space within a range of about 2 meters around him.

"Wood Dun! The technique of killing thorns!"

Dozens of giant rattan-like trees sprouted out of the ground, entwining the giant snake tightly within them.

An ANBU ninja wearing a cat-face mask appeared behind the giant snake, forming seals with his hands again and pressing them to the ground.

"Woodun Four Pillars Prison!"

A huge wooden cage suddenly appeared around the giant snake, trapping it inside and unable to move again.

"Explosive Dragon Geki——!"

A girl with a double-headed hair appeared above the wooden cage trapping the giant snake.

A huge green scroll unfolded in the air, and a hot dragon-shaped flame flew out from the scroll and headed straight for the giant snake in the cage.

"Hush-hush-"

The giant snake's entire body was scorched by the fire, and it groaned in pain.

"puff--!"

A huge cloud of white smoke suddenly exploded, and the giant snake in the cage disappeared without a trace, leaving only some burnt scales scattered all over the ground.

"The crisis is over! The second trial of the Chunin Examination continues!"

After Tenzo, who was dressed as an ANBU ninja, made his announcement in front of everyone, he turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared from the place.

"Will the selection continue... What is the scroll in your hands?"

Hyuga Neji turned around and looked at Hyuga Hinata and Inuzuka Kiba who were hiding not far behind him, a cold light flashed in his white eyes.

In front of the person known as the strongest genin in Konoha Village, Inuzuka Kiba also seemed quite fearful and did not act rashly.

Hinata Hinata also looked timid. Brother Neji has always been her role model and her goal to follow.

In front of Neji, she didn't even have the slightest confidence to defeat her opponent.

"What we have in our hands is the 'Book of Heaven'. If you want it, just come and get it."

Heiji patted his chest and looked at the other person calmly.

A cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Hinata Neji glanced at the helpless Miss Hinata beside him, kicked his legs hard on the ground, turned into a shadow, and rushed towards Heiji quickly.

"Bagua Kongzhang——!"

In mid-air, Hinata Neji had already struck out sixteen palms in the blink of an eye. The sharp wind of his palms rolled up countless broken branches and leaves, like sixteen evil dragons with teeth and claws, which were bound to tear Heiji into pieces.

"Neji-nii-!"

Hinata shouted, with a look of despair on her pretty fair face. She knew that Neji had used all his strength in his attack this time, leaving no room for error.

As long as Heiji is struck by the Bagua Kong Palm, not only will Heiji suffer serious internal injuries, but the meridians throughout his body will also be sealed in many acupoints!

Taking a deep breath, Heiji's body moved slightly and suddenly disappeared from the spot. A big tree behind him was struck by the strong wind of Bagua Kong Palm. The bark of the tree was cracked and sawdust flew everywhere.

"You can't catch up with me."

Heiji suddenly appeared more than ten meters away, looking at Hinata Neji calmly.

"Hidden weapon bombs!"

A huge green scroll unfolded in Tenten's hands, and all kinds of hidden weapons were like a shower of flowers, covering the entire ten-meter radius around Heiji.

Heiji disappeared on the spot again, and thousands of hidden weapons were all stuck on the grass, tree trunks, or disappeared deep into the open forest.

"White eyes! Open!"

Hinata Neji opened his Byakugan and began to look around for Heiji.

There was a slight noise beside him, and Hinata Neji turned around suddenly, only to find that Hinata Hinata and Kiba Inuzuka, who were curled up next to him just now, had disappeared!

"Tenten-chan, I'm offended."

Heiji's voice suddenly appeared behind Tenten, and he struck the back of her neck with a palm.

Tiantian didn't even have time to utter a cry, so his eyes went dark and he fainted.

Hinata Neji stood there blankly, a deep feeling of powerlessness came over him.

Heiji's whereabouts are so fast that Byakugan can't catch them!

"Xiao Li——! What are you doing!"

Hinata Neji roared not far away, and saw a Jarhead boy wearing a green ninja uniform standing in front of Haruno Sakura with a concerned look on his face. He kept asking questions, as if he was not involved.

"Sakura-chan...I'm sorry...I have to deal with other things first, excuse me!"

Rock Lee blushed and rubbed the back of his head, looking particularly embarrassed in front of Haruno Sakura.

"Neji, do you need me to lift the seal?"

Rock Lee slowly untied the bandages on his arms. Although he seemed to be aloof from the incident just now, he had already noticed Heiji's body movements.

The speed and strength displayed by Heiji were no longer comparable to Rock Lee, who had his power sealed away.

"No need...they have gone far."

Under Byakugan's visual inspection, Heiji's group of three people were already hundreds of meters away. It would not be possible to catch up with them in a moment.

"There is also Naruto and his team here, and what they have in their hands should also be the Book of Heaven!"

Naruto's team, which has lost two of its main combat forces, has not been snatched away by Heiji and others. The only possibility is that their scrolls are all "Books of Heaven".

"Sakura-chan...I'm sorry...could you lend us your scroll..."

He watched helplessly as Rock Lee found the "Book of Heaven" from Uchiha Sasuke's arms with an apologetic look on his face, and then handed it into the hands of Hinata Neji.

After the three of them succeeded, they quickly left.

Kneeling on the ground in a daze, Haruno Sakura suddenly let out a heart-rending wail.

"Sasuke...! Naruto...! Wake up quickly...!"
