Naruto Orochimaru: I must win this time

"Xiao Ming, are you okay?"

Hizashi held the penetrating wound on his collarbone and came to Xiao Ming who was leaning on the tree trunk.

"Captain, are you injured?"

Xiao Ming, who was also feeling uncomfortable, asked eagerly, grinning in pain from the fracture involving his arm as soon as he thought about it.

If it hadn't been for the care of the captain and teammates in the battle just now, he might have become a corpse now, and blood was oozing from his injured part, which was obviously serious.

The other two team members also suffered considerable injuries. Their physical skills and soft fists were not indestructible, and it was very common to accidentally injure their muscles and bones.

Both of them had hand tendons strained to varying degrees, which was nothing compared to the enemies they had eliminated.

"It's okay, we have been exposed, hurry up and retreat!"

The ninjas in the team who knew medical ninjutsu rushed over to stop Hizashi's bleeding and bandage his wounds.

They came to the junction of Taki Country and Earth Country. This was the second wave of enemies they encountered today, and the ninja teams they encountered became more and more frequent.

Several times they had to actively avoid it, but this time they were exposed because the enemy team also had sentient ninjas, which put them in a tough fight.

"Let's leave quickly before it gets dark."

The two less injured team members helped Xiao Ming up and hurried back towards Konoha.

Naturally, they couldn't go back the same way they came, and they had already planned another relatively safe route, which they had already prepared.

Looking at Hizashi who was still leading the way, Xiao Ming's eyes were full of guilt and gratitude. He seemed to think of what the Hokage said about the will of fire.

"Is this the spirit of dedication?"

I have to say that the brainwashing of the Third Hokage was very effective, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he would become such an excellent ninja in the future.

Not long after they left, an Iwagakure ninja came to the battlefield where the two sides had just fought.

"Iwagakure ninja!"

The visitor quickly checked the corpses lying on the ground. The pulse had stopped, but the blood was still warm. It was obvious that it happened not long ago.

"Old Zi, there is a slight chakra fluctuation in the front left, it should be the party that just fought!"

The visitor was none other than the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki, Lao Murasaki, who had rushed here along the border from the Country of Grass, intending to go to other small countries.

The reason why we followed the border of Earth Country was because the terrain here was relatively familiar, and we also expected that Orochimaru would not be near these places where Iwagakure ninjas were more frequent.

"Now that we have encountered one, we can't just sit back and watch. Before leaving, let me do my last for the Kingdom of Earth!"

Thinking of this, Lao Zi hurriedly rushed in the direction guided by Sun Wukong.

His speed couldn't be matched by a few remnants of soldiers. It didn't take long before Lao Zi shook his head and saw a few escaping black figures.

Similarly, several people in Hizashi also noticed the pursuers from behind, but the distance was still a bit far away, and it was almost dusk, so they could not clearly see the appearance of the people coming.

"Captain, there are soldiers following you!"

The teammate responsible for guarding the rear immediately reported the situation to Hizashi, who was leading the way.

"Speed ​​up, there is a forest ahead, we have a greater chance of escape if we enter it!"

As they spoke, the pace of several people became faster, and Lao Zi behind them also felt the speed of improvement of several people.

He simply clenched his fingers, and the next moment the melting chakra mode emerged, and his speed also increased dramatically.

"Thieves, please leave!"

Just as Hizashi and the others stepped into the forest, Lao Zi rushed over like a cannonball and passed over them, hitting them heavily in front of them.

"Dear donors, isn't it a good idea to leave after pretending to be 13?"

Lao Zi crossed his shoulders with his hands, not looking like a monk at all, and at the same time carefully looked at the people in front of him.

"It's... the Jinchuriki Lao Murasaki of Iwagakure Village!"

Xiao Ming swallowed and said that they all knew the jinchuriki of each village, and this war also paid special attention to the two jinchuriki of Iwagakure Village.

Although it was their first meeting, the appearance of Lao Zi and Han had long been known to them, and they had been warned before carrying out this mission not to act rashly when encountering a jinchuriki, and they could just retreat.

"It seems that we are not so lucky, we can save the day every time!"

Hizashi's heart also sank. Unexpectedly, Iwagakure Village actually sent jinchuriki directly to stop them.

Fortunately among the misfortunes, there was only Lao Zi, and they had no chance of winning. If two Jinchuuriki appeared at the same time, they would really have to wait for death.

"Listen to my orders and get ready for battle! Next, let's spread out and escape. This way the survival rate will be higher. Someone must return to the village alive!"

Hizashi is not a mother-in-law's kind of person. When it's time to make a decision, as the big brother, he must stand up.

"Captain! If we don't leave, we'll have to fight him!"

"Yes, so what about the jinchūriki? Our Hyuga family ninjas have never been afraid of outsiders!"

"Shut up! This is an order! If you still recognize me as captain, just do as I say!"

This kind of time is not the time to be pushy and indecisive. Only by living can the value be reflected even more.

Just when Hizashi gave the order, Lao Zi seemed to see their plan. He was also an experienced ninja. He wanted to surround four people by himself and it was not just talk.

"Earth Escape·Earth Clone!"

Lao Zi immediately separated into three earth clones, and each one was in melting chakra mode.

The faces of the Hizashi team also changed drastically after seeing it. At this time, each of them was seriously injured, especially Xiao Ming and Hizashi. Let alone running away separately, they must have been too busy to take care of themselves during the fight.

"Want to leave? This poor monk will send you directly to the West!"

Before several people could escape separately, Lao Zi's earth clone intercepted them one by one.

Hizashi's expression also had a hint of gloom, and there seemed to be a will to die in his eyes!

But Lao Zi didn't care about this. He directly attacked Hizashi himself. He captured the king first before catching the thief, and cursed the mother first when he cursed.

Ever since he was ravaged by Orochimaru, he had been feeling very depressed these past few days. No matter how Furui Fuwa was in his state of mind, there was still a trace of anger. Now that he had met the ninjas of Konoha, he still had to vent his anger.

"Molten Escape: Burning River Rock Technique!"

"Bagua Kongzhang!"

The war was about to break out, and roars sounded almost simultaneously on the four battlefields. Although Hizashi suffered a penetrating injury to his shoulder, his ability as a leading ninja should not be underestimated. He could still compete with Lao Zi in a short period of time.

The two Hyuga ninjas who were slightly injured were slightly inferior in strength, but they could barely protect themselves against Lao Zi's clone.

Only Xiao Ming, the most seriously injured ninja, was knocked away by the clone as soon as he came face to face with him, and a large area of ​​skin on his arm was burned.

In an instant, he was gritting his teeth in pain and dripping with cold sweat. The large-scale burn was not a localized pain. The heart-wrenching pain could be felt all over his body.

Lao Zi's ability is still effective against ordinary ninjas, especially when the group damage on the battlefield is extremely high. If there is no ability to restrain him, this guy will burn a large area like a cheat.

Just as several people were fighting to the death, a person five kilometers away also felt the movement of the fire here.

"Oh? It's quite lively!"
