Flowing Water of Konoha

At night, at nine o'clock in the woods, Orochimaru and Kabuto stood in front of a thick tree by the bonfire, waiting for Tsunade's arrival.

Hanging on the tree is a woman with short black hair and a pink piglet.

Both the woman and the piggy were in a coma, with a special "detonation charm" attached to their bodies. The word "explosion" was extremely large.If you look carefully, there are small circles of "explosion" characters all around.

Kabuto: "Lord Orochimaru, will Tsunade-sama come?"

"No, this woman is Kato Dan's niece, Tsunade will definitely come!" Orochimaru stretched out his long tongue and washed his face.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps stepping on the leaves, and a figure gradually appeared in front of Orochimaru and Kabuto.

It was Tsunade. She searched the area but couldn't find Shizune, and couldn't find any information about her departure...

After approaching, Tsunade took advantage of the light of the bonfire and saw Shizune and Todo hanging on the big tree.

And... Orochimaru and an unknown boy wearing glasses.

Tsunade: "Orochimaru, what did you come to me for?"

Orochimaru: "Hiss...Tsunade, I came to you because I had no other choice. My hands were disabled by Sarutobi-sensei's "Ghoul Seal". I think you should know how to treat them."

Orochimaru watched Tsunade wash her face with her tongue with some excitement. Tsunade, the granddaughter of Uzumaki Mito, should know how to break the "Ghoul Seal"...

Tsunade: "I didn't expect that Sarutobi-sensei would use "Ghoul Seal" to deal with you!"

"Orochimaru! Why did you kill Sarutobi-sensei!!!"

Orochimaru: "Sarutobi-sensei is no longer the Sarutobi-sensei we used to be."

"As he gets older, he becomes weaker and weaker!"

"I just don't want to see him die as Hokage!"

Orochimaru's voice was a little excited. As Sarutobi Hiruzen grew older, Orochimaru saw with his own eyes the decline of a generation of "ninja heroes".

Orochimaru wanted Hiruzen Sarutobi to die fighting the enemy, instead of dying in the position of the Hokage.

Tsunade was a little silent. She didn't know whether Orochimaru did the right thing. It was because Hiruzen Sarutobi was getting weaker and weaker, and Tsunade was becoming more and more disappointed with Hiruzen Sarutobi...

Tsunade left Konoha to wander the ninja world because she also wanted to stay away from Konoha's "politics"...

Tsunade: "I can tell you how to lift the "Ghoul Seal", but you have to release Shizune and Todo first."

Orochimaru: "Okay, Kabuto let them go!"

Kabuto: "Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

Kabuto pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingers, and threw two shurikens to cut off the ropes that tied Shizune and Todo.

"Bang, bang..." There were two sounds of heavy objects falling, and Shizune and Doudou also woke up from the pain of falling.

Shizune: "Hmm...where am I...Oh, I seem to have been attacked while looking for Tsunade-sama..."

Dolphin: "…Humph…Humph, hum…Humph, hum…"

Tsunade: "Shizune, take Dodo and get out of here as quickly as possible!"

As soon as Shizune heard Tsunade's voice, she immediately followed the voice and looked over happily. Just as she was about to reply, she saw Orochimaru and Kabuto standing in front of her, confronting Tsunade...

Shizune: "But...Tsunade-sama...you..."

Tsunade: "It's okay Shizune, leave this to me and get out of here quickly!"

Tsunade immediately interrupted Shizune. Not many people knew that she suffered from "hyperphobia", and Orochimaru didn't know either.

Shizune: "Okay, Tsunade-sama, you must take care..."

Shizune cried, hugging Dodo and quickly left in one direction.

Orochimaru did not stop Shizune from leaving. For him, Shizune's existence was dispensable and was just a bait to attract Tsunade.

Orochimaru: "I have let Shizune go. Can you tell me the solution to "Sealing the Ghosts"?"

Tsunade: "Orochimaru, you also know that "Sealing the Ghouls" is a forbidden technique of the Uzumaki clan, and I only heard my grandma say that the key to the solution lies in the "mask"."

Orochimaru thought of the mask placed on the wall of the Uzumaki clan's ancestral hall. It turned out that it was the solution to "sealing out the zombies"...

"Kabuto, do it!"

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"

On the other side, Liu Shui and the others came to a small forest and were about to enter it to take a rest.

She happened to meet Shizune crying in her arms as she ran out of the woods.

Jiraiya: "Shizune, why are you here? What happened?"

Shizune, who was in a daze, suddenly heard a familiar voice, and her hope suddenly rose. It was Lord Jiraiya's voice.

Shizune: "Jiraiya-sama... hurry up and help Tsunade-sama... Tsunade-sama is fighting Orochimaru... but Tsunade-sama is suffering from "hyperphobia"..."

Jiraiya only felt a burst of anger rushing into his head. He didn't expect that Orochimaru couldn't help but kill Sarutobi-sensei and wanted to kill Tsunade!

With a "whoosh", Jiraiya's figure flickered and disappeared deep into the woods.

Liu Shui and Uzumaki Naruto ran behind with Shizune...

Jiraiya quickly jumped on the tree using the teleportation technique in the direction Shizune pointed. As he got deeper and deeper, Jiraiya heard a loud noise, which was the attack caused by Tsunade's huge force...

Kabuto dodged left and right in Tsunade's huge range of attacks for a while, but couldn't get close to Tsunade's surroundings.

Orochimaru couldn't stand it, and there was a loud "bang" sound, and a big purple snake appeared.

Wan She: "Orochimaru, I need two hundred sacrifices after this battle, otherwise you will never summon me again!"

It is Wan She who slept comfortably in the "Longdi Cave" and is also excited to wake up.

Orochimaru: "No problem!"

Orochimaru washed his face with his tongue again, having trouble using most of his ninjutsu since he couldn't use his hands.

Just when Wan She was about to attack Tsunade, an orange toad with a black cloud pattern on its body and a rosary with the word "loyalty" written on it fell from the sky and pressed Wan She down.

Orochimaru looked a little solemn when he saw Toadada on Wan She. He didn't expect Jiraiya to appear here...but this time the main purpose was accomplished.

The most important thing now is to find those masks, lift the "Ghoul Seal" and retrieve the sealed souls of the hands.

Orochimaru: "Jiraiya, I didn't expect you to show up here!"

Jiraiya: "Orochimaru!!! Why did you kill Sarutobi-sensei!"

Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru's pale face, and the anger he had suppressed for a long time came out. What made Jiraiya the most angry was that Orochimaru wanted to kill Tsunade, who they had grown up with.

Orochimaru: "I just want to give Mr. Sarutobi the most honorable funeral."

Jiraiya: "Then why did you attack Tsunade? She is our junior sister who grew up together!"

Orochimaru: "I remember Tsunade is older than us! ... As for attacking Tsunade, I just don't want others to know the secret."

"Kabuto, use that jutsu and I'll kill you quickly!"

Kabuto, who was still avoiding Tsunade's attack, quickly returned to Orochimaru's side.

Kabuto quickly formed several hand seals with his hands, and a white mist appeared around him that made him unable to see his fingers.

It is the signature ninjutsu of Kirigakure Village: Water Release. Kirigakure no Jutsu.

As the fog quickly covered, the sound of kunai and shurikens cutting through the air came from all directions...
