People in the Ninja World: Lucky Cat Steals the Kaleidoscope at the Beginning!

"This trip starts from the secret exit of the village."

Soon, the Sandaime arrived on time.

Everyone's expressions suddenly became serious.

Sarutobi Hiruzen warned:

"Everyone must abide by my orders and do not act on your own."

The captains of each dark section nodded.

As a veteran Jonin in the village, everyone has a high level of consciousness.

Willing to swear allegiance to Hokage to the death.

The Sandaime also nodded,

Soon, the team left Konoha Village and officially set off.

Qianfan said nothing along the way.

The ANBU in charge of tracking received news that after Orochimaru rebelled against the village, he left Konoha Village as quickly as possible.

The trail is erratic and difficult to follow.

"Fortunately, the village has always cultivated credible intelligence sources."

The Sandaime led the team more than ten miles away and stopped at a stone monument in the woods.

A jounin of the Hyuga family, responsible for vigilance and checking whether the surrounding area is absolutely safe.

Sarutobi Hiruzen approached the stone monument and placed his hand on it.

It seems that something has been triggered.

I saw that the next moment, the plates under the stone tablet separated, revealing a mezzanine.

There is a scroll inside.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took it out and unfolded it to look at it.

"Orochimaru, escaped to the Land of Grass."

He closed the scroll and said.

Then, with a thought,

The scroll was set alight directly.

Turn to ashes.

"Go over there."

The Sandaime pointed in the direction.

The group then continued towards the Country of Grass.

Along the way, Sarutobi Hiruzen had a solemn expression and acted resolutely. He could not tell that he was an old man over fifty years old.

The momentum is not inferior to that of these young jounin.

In fact, he is higher than others everywhere.

Qian Fan couldn't help but secretly thought that the Hokage who had emerged from the war was indeed capable.

Even though he is old, his combat experience is still unparalleled.

Everyone traveled for three to five days.

Living in the open and wind along the way, the nerves of the several ANBU captains remained tense at all times.

However, Qian Fan paddled all the way.

I just stick to my duty, rest when I get the chance, and don’t do too much at all.

Thinking about it, there are probably only a few people in the entire ninja world who dare to sneak attack on their luxurious team.

Nothing to worry about.

"Hokage-sama, there are no abnormalities found nearby."

As the sun sets in the west, the Hyuga family's Jonin reports.

Three generations nodded.

"Okay, let's start resting today."

Everyone began to rest on the spot.

As expected, we will reach our destination tomorrow.

"Sandaime-sama, you have been away from the village for so many days. What should you do if something happens in the village?"

At this time, a jounin from the Aburame clan said worriedly.

The third generation closed his eyes and calmly calmly gave an answer:

"do not worry."

"Before we leave, Jiraiya, who has been traveling abroad, has returned to the village."

When several team captains heard this, they suddenly let out a low voice in surprise.

"Jiraiya-sama, one of the three ninjas?"

"I see... With him in charge, the village will be absolutely safe."

After hearing this, Qian Fan in the back couldn't help but have other thoughts.

Now that Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, is back, the Hokage should not be leading the mission to hunt down Orochimaru.

Isn't this identity arrangement a bit reversed?

Qian Fan vaguely felt that there was something subtle about the Third Generation in this.

If I remember correctly, in the original work, Jiraiya has been searching for Orochimaru since Orochimaru defected.

If the third generation doesn't take action this time, Jiraiya will definitely ask for orders to hunt down Orochimaru.

When the time comes... I can really capture Orochimaru.

Or, both sides will suffer losses.

Don't forget, Orochimaru has just been seriously injured and has not yet recovered.

Considering the third generation purpose,

He was even worried that one of the two would be killed!

Anyway,

When Jiraiya takes action, there are too many uncertainties, none of which he wants to see.

Instead of doing this, it would be safer to do it yourself.

It can be regarded as a favor for the apprentice.

The Sandaime lowered his eyebrows slightly and sighed softly.

Behind him, Qianfan saw a hint of sadness in the eyes of the Sandaime.

I couldn't help but smile in my heart,

It seems that my idea is right.

.........

.........

the next day,

The group of people set out on time.

The destination is getting closer and closer, and everyone is gearing up.

Except for Qianfan.

Not long after walking, a stone circular fortress appeared in the distance.

"That's Orochimaru's stronghold."

The Sandaime said in a low voice.

Several people quickly touched it.

The Jonin of the Hyuga family opened his eyes again and carefully explored the inside and outside of the fortress.

Then he said in surprise:

"No one's chakra was found, not sure if Orochimaru is really inside."

The third generation looked calm:

"Maybe there's some barrier blocking detection."

At this time, there was a sudden strange sound in my ears.

Qian Fan's ears twitched and a kunai flew out immediately.

"Shh-"

Before the few Jonin present could see clearly what was coming, a long white snake was nailed to the tree with a kunai by Qian Fan with incomparable precision.

The Sandaime glanced at Qianfan with admiration.

And everyone soon discovered that near the white snake, there were dozens of snakes, densely lined up on the ground.

"not good!"

Several people immediately became nervous.

However, the snake group did not attack the Sandaime and his party.

Instead, he quickly turned around and ran away,

Like the tide receding.

A jounin took a step forward, kunai in hand.

I want to rush forward and wipe out all the snakes.

But he was stopped by Sandaime.

"no need."

He said with a solemn expression: "We have been discovered."

"Boom boom-"

At this time,

The gate of the stronghold not far away opened.

A figure slowly walked out of it.

Orochimaru had a faint smile on his face and said:

"I thought that idiot Jiraiya was coming."

"I didn't expect that you, teacher, took action in person. I'm really flattered."

The Sandaime's eyes turned cold and he turned around and said:

"You guys, stay where you are."

After saying that, he appeared dozens of meters away with a whoosh.

"Sarutobi-sensei, are you here specifically to hunt me down?"

Orochimaru looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and smiled.

"Hmph, Orochimaru, you are no match for me."

"Come back to the village with me honestly and atone for your crimes!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were sharp.

But he was a little surprised and said:

"I didn't expect that Orochimaru's injuries were almost healed in just a few days."

"Has this guy achieved any research results?"

Orochimaru laughed, his demonic eyes full of confidence.

"Sarutobi-sensei, it's too early to speak."

"Can you really do it?"

There was a murderous aura oozing from his body,

The air smelled of gunpowder.

Looks confident.
