[Naruto] To the underworld

The roar of the earth shaking and cracking, the collision of scattered rocks, the snap of trees breaking, and the wailing and crying for help echoed in the ears continuously.

Are those evil uncles and aunts playing the symphony of death again?

No, it's not like they did it.

There seems to be only one Wrathful One... He is huge in size and attacks quickly. He has devoured 14 people in an instant and has a huge appetite.

"Monster...no, don't eat me...I want to go home...save me...wow-"

The whimpering that lasted for a long time suddenly turned into howling, which sounded very miserable and desperate.

The girl opened her eyes and glanced slightly at the little boy beside her who was crying.

Approximately seven or eight years old, ordinary person with unremarkable appearance, disheveled hair, and extremely weak—identification completed.

The little boy with tearful eyes accidentally looked into a pair of deep blue eyes. He was stunned for a moment, and then started crying again.

In the silence, the sad cries seemed particularly clear.

Yes, just a few seconds ago, all the chaotic sounds around him suddenly disappeared, as if the one-sided hunting never happened. But the girl knew that 33 more people were buried in something.

Rather than figuring out where she was and why she was unconscious at the moment, she was more interested in finding out what this so-called monster looked like.

"Hmph, most of the sacrifices this time are useless trash. Orochimaru is really getting more and more perfunctory."

The voice that sounded a hundred meters away was gloomy, and it was obvious that the owner of the voice was extremely unhappy.

The boy raised his head tremblingly, and was even more frightened by the ferocious and violent aura emanating from the opponent's huge vertical pupils. He instinctively wanted to run away, but his legs and feet seemed to be rooted, unable to move at all. He could only watch in increasing horror as the monster wriggled its way towards him.

Unexpectedly discovering that the monster can talk, the girl is even more looking forward to meeting the monster. She is more than 60% sure that she has encountered a rare rare beast this time, but she does not know what species it is.

"Are there only two brats left? It's not even enough to fill the gap between the teeth..."

Although the other party had a tone of disgust, he was not sloppy in his actions. He quickly attacked the only two people left on the scene with a bloody mouth. In an instant, he was above the boy and the girl... A huge shadow was carried The fishy smell shrouded, the ground trembled, and dust and mist flew up.

However, the last living sacrifice, which was originally insignificant, was not swallowed as smoothly as expected.

The monster paused, raised its head, turned around, backed away, and confirmed again.

A pit was created on the ground in front of him. The pit was empty. There were no traces of the two imps within a radius of ten or even a hundred meters. The shock was quickly replaced by vigilance and hostility. Following a long scream from the distance, it turned its head and locked the target.

On a small mound in the southwest, a girl in a gorgeous lace dress held one of the flapping boy's legs with one hand. She tilted her head slightly to look at the monster, with her shoulder-length soft silver hair fluttering in the wind.

It is more than a hundred feet long, has a purple body with black stripes, a long horn on its head, and is full of evil energy.

"It turned out to be just a snake... so ugly." The girl muttered to herself, as if she suddenly lost interest, turned around and left.

Is this ignoring it?

But not only was the giant snake not angry, but it grinned with interest, revealing a cold light, "Oh, I finally found an interesting guy."

The next second, the huge body rushed out, as fast as lightning. In an instant, he rushed behind the girl who was walking slowly, and opened his mouth to bite again without politeness.

The boy who was still being held upside down by the girl's hand was stunned, and his screams soared in decibels.

"Don't make any noise." The girl glanced at the boy in a warning manner. Just when she was about to be swallowed by the giant snake, her figure swayed and disappeared in an instant just like the previous time.

"Kid, who are you? Are you a traitor under Orochimaru?"

The giant snake stopped attacking, turned its head, and asked dumbly to the girl standing on the tip of its tail.

Orochimaru... what kind of meatball is it?

The doubts just passed by. The girl was not interested at all. She didn't want to get entangled with this unattractive giant snake anymore, so she quickly bounced out with a little force under her feet.

The giant snake felt a cold breath coming towards its face, but was unable to catch the trace of the opponent. The next second, it received a heavy blow on its head, with a loud bang, and a big crater was made in the ground. It was so embarrassed and angry that when it raised its head and wanted to fight back, the girl carried the frightened boy and jumped away in a few leaps.

"Did you ask?" the girl asked casually. She just pinched the straw and took a sip of the drink. It tasted like nothing she had ever tasted before, but it tasted surprisingly good. Her originally cold tone gained a touch of gentleness.

The boy who panted and rushed to her side looked a little embarrassed, but his face was full of joy. He raised his hand and pointed in the distance and replied: "That's it, little sister, this is not very far from the town where I live. Along the way The main road goes west, passing through a forest, about two days' journey, and there will be signposts on the road."

The girl nodded to show her knowledge and asked, "Are you literate?"

"Hey? You know... Don't you, little sister..." Seeing the girl glance at him indifferently, the boy unconsciously kept silent, but at this moment, his stomach gurgled loudly.

The girl chuckled softly and handed him the red bean cake in her hand, which was met with a small thank you from the boy.

"You're welcome. I want to get back the reward for saving your life, as well as the meal money and escort fees." The girl raised her eyebrows in response. Her eyes scanned the signs on nearby shops one by one.

He was obviously in...how could he be here?

Could it be an illusion? But it feels too real.

The words here also make people a little concerned. There is a store with the word "生" in its name...

The girl frowned slightly.

After all, the boy was still frightened because he almost died in the snake's belly. After escaping the danger, he developed a fever that night when they were sleeping in the forest. The fever-stricken boy curled up and murmured "Don't eat me" and "Help" while turning over unconsciously.

The orange-red fire flickered, and the girl ignored the boy's weak murmurs. She only supported her head on her knees with one hand, and wrote and drew on the ground with a branch in the other hand. The outline of her beautiful face rose and fell with the flames. Low left and right deviation and flickering. Until the boy turned over and pressed her branch, and rolled towards the fire. She carried the boy further away with a little disgust, but unexpectedly he hugged her waist. When she heard him calling "Mom" repeatedly, she saw tears and snot touching her body, and finally couldn't help but darken her face and raised her hands. Knock people out.

The boy who suffered the double blow of fever and hand knife was still sluggish the next morning, his body was so limp that he couldn't walk. The girl sighed softly, muttered "Plus the installation fee", quickly lifted the man onto her shoulders, jumped out, and started running through the forest. When he encountered a road sign, he slapped the boy awake, opened his eyelids and ordered him to read the name of the road clearly, and then continued on his way.

Therefore, it was said that it was a two-day trip, but at noon the next day, the girl took the boy back home.

"Masataka!"

With an exclamation, a woman rushed out of the house, caught the boy with tears in her eyes, and held him tightly in her arms.

The girl who was regarded as her savior stayed behind without saying anything, accepted the woman's hospitality, and accepted the reward, although her expression was a bit subtle the moment she lowered her eyelids to see the stack of money clearly.

Even if she couldn't calculate accurately for the time being, she realized that this amount of money was the least remuneration she had received so far, maybe just a fraction of her previous remuneration. But when she saw the embarrassed look in her mother's eyes, she paused for a moment and accepted it. Came down and offered to stay here for a few days. The woman responded immediately.

In the evening, after bathing and changing clothes, the girl lay lazily on the tatami, holding a piece of banknote in her hand and looking at it over and over.

The currency unit here is "liang" according to the woman, which should be the last three characters on the left side of the banknote. The same currency she saw people using on that street before, she noticed at that time that people were also using coins. I can't understand the text at the moment, so I can only tell by the numbers below that it is 200 taels.

I don’t remember where there is a “land country” at all, nor do I remember which country actually issued its own currency. What kind of place is this?

Is that giant man-eating snake some kind of highly intelligent monster?

The giant snake that flashed through the girl's mind was in a state of extreme agitation, and its anger implicated Kabuto Yakushi, who had prepared a hundred-person sacrifice for it. If Orochimaru hadn't appeared to stop him, apart from the two unlucky Sound Ninja, Kabuto might also have been swallowed by it.

"What happened?" Orochimaru, who was well aware of the violent temper of his own psychic beast, rushed over immediately after learning that there was something wrong with the sacrifice. He was also a little surprised. The sacrifices that Wan She wanted were strong living people. Although he asked Kabuto to do it, Kabuto couldn't go there to arrest people one by one. In order to gather the number of people as quickly as possible, his subordinates would occasionally crowd in some old and weak people. Women and children. He also turned a blind eye to this. Anyway, the angry Wan She could only complain and be comforted, but unexpectedly something went wrong this time. How could any sacrifice escape from under the mouths of thousands of snakes? Could it be that he was a jounin from some village and was a powerful character?

How could the arrogant Wan Snake admit that he was fooled by a little girl? It would be embarrassing for him to tell it. He could even imagine the playful expression on the lips of the man who had formed a contract with it after hearing this. . But it was holding back this anger and was extremely unhappy. It secretly grinded its teeth and decided to go back to Ryūchi Cave to find a snake to fight with to vent its anger. Before leaving, it gave Orochimaru a hard look.

Orochimaru, who couldn't figure out why Wan She was so angry, pondered for a moment, then softly said: "Kabuto, check the sacrifice this time."

"Yes." Kabuto agreed in a low voice. He was a little lucky that the two people that Wan She swallowed just now were not the people who had arranged the sacrifices before, otherwise it would be somewhat difficult to investigate.
