After taking over the snake uncle's foundation, Sasuke came to surrender on his own initiative.

Kimimaro didn't know why Ototake suddenly came to him for the purpose.

He has always been indifferent to the existence of this deputy leader, thinking that the other party has only achieved his current status because he followed Orochimaru the earliest. He does not have as good talent as himself to be able to be planted with the "Snake Kiss" by Orochimaru!

Deep down, Kimimaro didn't think much of Ototake.

Apart from being a little older than them, he seemed to have no outstanding qualities in other aspects.

He has neither the talent of a ninja nor great strength, and seems to be just a good person in managing the ninja village, so he is trusted by Lord Orochimaru.

Kimimaro just didn't understand why his good friend Neji would follow such an ordinary guy so wholeheartedly.

If he had been willing to follow Lord Orochimaru and been granted the curse seal, he would probably have been like him by now and had gained power comparable to that of a jonin!

"I'll teach him a lesson later, and let Yinzhu, the so-called deputy leader, understand that the future of a genius like Neji is not something he can control! Only Lord Orochimaru is the best destination for Neji!"

When Kimimaro walked out of the prison gate, he was still muttering to himself in anger.

But when he walked out of the prison and saw Yin Zhu, he was slightly shocked.

"Is this the Yin Zhu from before!?"

The other person was wearing a white training suit, and his tall and slender body looked full of strength.

The look was no longer as calm and harmless as in my memory.

Instead, it became very sharp, with lips tightly closed and chin slightly raised as if full of confidence, as if looking down at him.

The undisguised aggressive aura emanating from Yinzhu caused Jūgo and Suigetsu, who were following behind Kimimaro, to hold their breath and subconsciously dare not breathe.

Although Kimimaro's face remained calm, his muscles were slightly stiff.

......

"Long time no see, Kimimaro."

Yinzhu stood outside the gate with his arms folded across his chest, and Ningji stood behind him.

Yinzhu, who had the advantage of height, looked down at the three young men who came out, and his eyes quickly stopped on Kimimaro who was in the front.

The young man in front of me is handsome, with two red marks between his eyebrows, which symbolizes "peaceful eyebrows".

It was planted by Ototake's teacher, Uncle Snake, in the hope that Kimimaro would grow up healthily.

Putting away the contempt in his heart, Kimimaro bowed slightly, then stood up and looked at Yinzhu calmly. "Meet the deputy leader, what can I do for you?"

"Ok?"

o_o

o_o

Jūgo and Suigetsu's eyes widened immediately, and they looked at Kimimaro in confusion.

Didn't I just say...

Do you have to give someone a good look as soon as you meet them?

Now what's going on?

Why do you become polite when you have a disagreement?

Even Ningji, who had a worried look in his eyes behind Yinzhu, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth when he heard this.

Kimimaro is a very sensible guy...

Yin Zhu didn't waste any words.

He stared at Kimimaro and said calmly, "Orochimaru will never have the chance to come back to Sound Village, now! And in the future! Sound Village is under the control of me, Ototake. Tayuya and the others from the same team are out on a mission, Kimimaro, you can't stay out of it!"

After these words were spoken, Chougo and Suigetsu were shocked and looked at him in disbelief.

What is this for?

Killing the master?

Betray the legendary Sannin?

The anger in Kimimaro's eyes flashed away, and he took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's not talk about whether Lord Orochimaru has really abandoned me. My body has not yet adapted to the new curse, so I'm afraid I can't go out to execute..."

"I think you can!"

Yin Zhu interrupted him directly, and her sharp eyes pierced his heart.

Kimimaro's whole body trembled, and his face immediately turned hot and red.

"You are a smart person, you should understand what I mean. The mission is just an excuse." Then, Yin Zhu raised two fingers and said indifferently, "Now you have two choices, either be loyal to me or die!"

Kimimaro's inner anger almost exploded!

Suigetsu seemed to be watching a show, but Jūgo, who had been brainwashed by Kimimaro, was equally furious.

The atmosphere in the corridor outside the prison suddenly became solemn.

The three Sound Ninja guards not far away looked at this side and didn't even dare to breathe.

The only girl among them, Qin Chui, looked at Yin Zhu with a glimmer of light in her eyes.

Compared to Orochimaru, who has a dark temperament and a cold and cruel personality, Yinzhu was a little too domineering just now!

Kimimaro gritted his teeth and wanted to refuse Yinzhu's order.

But reason told him that he couldn't!

The powerful and cold aura from Yin Zhu continued to suppress the anger in his heart.

He knew clearly that Yin Zhu was forcing him to take action!

"Arrogant guy!"

The increasingly intense anger caused Shigeo to go berserk in an instant!

After entering the second state of curse seal, Jūgo's appearance changed drastically.

Click, click, click! ! !

A gray hardened object like animal armor extended from his elbow like wings. The nails on his ten fingers were sharp, and gray ridges like arms grew on his back, constantly spewing blue flames.

A straight black vertical line appeared between his eyebrows, the whites of his eyes turned black instantly, and only naked murderous intent remained in his pupils!

"Earthquake Flame!"

Yin Zhu didn't move, but just watched the scene with interest.

I saw Chongwu suddenly smash the ground with his cursed arm, and with a "bang" the ground in front of him suddenly exploded, and countless stones shot towards Yinzhu in front of him, but he easily dodged them.

Just as he stood firm, Shigeo's tall body, which had expanded twice as much, suddenly rushed out from the smoke and dust!

Explosive blow!

Yin Zhu raised the corner of his mouth, and his eyes suddenly burst into a dazzling brilliance. As his hands quickly formed seals, the chakra in his body suddenly surged out wildly, and quickly transformed into a black earth escape technique to wrap around his right elbow.

At the same time, Yin Zhu kept his feet still, twisted his waist, and threw out a simple elbow strike.

All of a sudden.

Buzz! ! ! ! !

The sound of sonic booms instantly filled the area, and strong winds blew in their faces, making it hard for Ningci and others who were watching the battle to breathe, and they stepped back repeatedly.

Although he had lost his mind, the hairs on Chougo's body stood up when he felt the fierce wind pressure.

"So strong! No! Jūgo is no match for this guy!"

Even though Kimimaro on the side was mentally prepared, he still looked incredulous, as if he had thought of something and looked horrified.

The chakra in his body suddenly surged, his white hair danced in the air, and a layer of black curse marks quickly climbed up his body, making it look as if all the blood vessels in his body had emerged on the surface.

"Ten finger piercing bullets!"

The moment he stretched out his hands towards Yinzhu, Kimimaro's ten finger bones instantly shot out like bullets, supporting Shigeo while trying to force Yinzhu back.

shhhhh--

But facing these extremely fast bone bullets, Yin Zhu had no intention of dodging.

Yin Zhu spent a considerable amount of experience points on the defensive ninjutsu "Earth Style. Earth Spear".

Moreover, with his current strength, fighting against Kimimaro who has not grown up yet is really a bit of a bully...

clang clang clang......

A series of sounds of metal clashing rang out one after another, and ten bone bullets hit his vital points, and were all blown away in the next second!

Yin Zhu's black fist landed on Chongwu's cursed elbow without any hindrance!

Head-on with an explosive blow from Jūgo in his rampage state!

"Boom!" Suddenly there was a loud noise!

At the moment when the gray elbow collided with the black fist, the entire prison building seemed to shake three times, and the dense gravel on the ground trembled and splashed out.

"Well......"

Shigeo groaned, and his huge body was knocked away.

With a "bang", it hit the rock wall behind the prison building, instantly splashing up a circle of thick smoke and dust.

"N-Nani!"

Watching this scene, Suigetsu at the side opened his mouth wide, and his jaw almost dropped in shock. Is this still the Chougo he knew? How could he be so miserable, being knocked down by a single punch! ?

"Lord Otoko is really strong!" Ningji, who was watching the battle, turned his head to look at Otoko, his eyes lit up.

"Is this the true strength of the deputy leader?"

The three Otoninus in the distance almost dropped their jaws in shock! As the guards, they knew best how terrifying the mad Jūgo was. He was simply a human-shaped beast! Even if Orochimaru wanted to subdue him, it would take a lot of effort every time!

"Corpse Vein. Tsubaki"

Kimimaro had just pulled out the bone of his left arm and was about to use it as a weapon when his vision suddenly blurred and a white figure appeared in front of him.

"So fast!!!" His eyes suddenly widened!

Before he could even think of retreating, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and flew backwards, hitting Shigeo who was embedded in the rock wall.

It was not until this time that Ototake's figure appeared at the place where Kimimaro had just stood.

He calmly withdrew his right leg and stood there quietly.

slam-la-

At this time.

There was a sound of gravel falling from the direction of the rock wall. The spectators turned around and saw that it was Shigeo who had fallen off the rock wall, leaving only a deep "Big" shaped pit on it.

"Ho! Ho ho ho ho!"

Chongwu let out a low roar like a wild beast, and his pair of golden eyes shone brightly in the smoke and dust, moving around and soon locked onto Yinzhu's direction.

Swah——

He moved and rushed out from the smoke in an instant, with blue flames on his body. He leaped into the air and stretched out his hand to tear at Yin Zhu's head at an extremely fast speed!

Among the people watching the fight, no one could keep up with Jūgo's movements except Neji who opened his Byakugan.

But someone is faster than him!

As if teleporting, Yin Zhu's figure suddenly disappeared and suddenly appeared in front of Chongwu.

With just one hand, he firmly grasped Jūgo's neck. The powerful impact sent his entire monster-like body flying.

With a "bang", Yin Zhu pressed it against the rock wall with one hand!

Rustling.

Debris continued to fall from the surface of the rock wall.

"Get down here!"

boom--

Yin Zhu stretched out a foot and suddenly stepped on Kimimaro, who was struggling to get up, back to the ground, with his limbs crawling on the ground, which was an extremely shameful posture.

"Master Yinzhu!"

At this moment, Neji, who was not far away, let out a scream with a strong pleading tone. It was obvious that he saw this scene through the smoke and dust with his Byakugan, and was afraid that Kimimaro would kill him in anger.

"roar~"

Ignoring Neji, he turned to look at Jūgo and found that even this guy's unconscious roar had become weak at this moment, and he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.

After thinking for a while, Yin Zhu shook his left hand, and an object with distinct joints fell from his sleeve and was held firmly in his palm.

But it was a green bamboo flute.

With his slender fingers covering his breathing hole, he lifted the bamboo flute with one hand, placed it across his lips and began to play softly.

"Magic Flute. Dream Sound Lock!"

"woo woo woo woo......"

The soft and melodious tone immediately spread throughout the hillside, and the sound was like resentment, longing, crying and complaining.

The lingering sound gives people a sense of tranquility and comfort. The unique crisp sound, coupled with the invisible spiritual force invasion, instantly makes people who hear the flute sound completely intoxicated.

Even the mad Shigeo soon calmed down under the sound of Yinzhu's flute, and his expression gradually became peaceful.

It was not until the sound of the flute disappeared for a long time that the people on the hillside regained consciousness.

And Yin Zhu’s back.

It has slowly merged into the night and disappeared.

"..."

Kimimaro and Jūgo, who were lying on the ground, looked at each other, their expressions suddenly became complicated and they remained silent.

The three Sound Ninjas standing aside stared blankly at the dark night sky.

That was the direction where Yin Zhu disappeared.

With just one punch and one kick, he instantly defeated Jūgo and Kimimaro who were in the cursed state. Not only were his physical skills incredibly powerful and his defense incredibly strong, but his speed was so fast that they couldn't even react with their brains!

The magic flute sound lock, which made them unable to resist and fell into the illusion, left in a domineering and confident manner...

Such domineering power and swift and decisive means shocked everyone present. Everyone was in awe and admiration. Even Jūgo and Kimimaro could not help but be amazed by Ototake's personal charm and felt attracted deep in their hearts.

Looking at the direction where Yinzhu disappeared, Ningji suddenly realized what he should do for Yinzhu, for his friends, and for himself.

He lost his parents, but Kimimaro was even more miserable, he didn't even have a single clan member.

Living alone in the ninja world, without direction and purpose.

But Neji was filled with hatred in his heart. He hated the Third Hokage's weakness and his uncle Hiashi's inaction.

"I will destroy Konoha!"

And this thing is destined to be impossible for him to do alone.

He turned to look at Kimimaro and sighed. "Kimimaro, don't you understand? Orochimaru is just using you and Tayuya as test subjects, and the same goes for Jūgo and Suigetsu.

Lord Ototake once said that although you, Kimimaro, are gifted, you are just a reincarnation vessel for Orochimaru!

You will never find the meaning of your life in your entire life!"

"What's the meaning of living..." Kimimaro muttered absentmindedly as he collapsed to the ground. "If I don't live as a vessel for Orochimaru-sama, who else can I live for..."

He had been imprisoned for a long time by the Kaguya clan, without a father or a mother, and had long lost himself. If Orochimaru and Ototake had not rescued him, perhaps he would now be begging for food in the stinking ditch of the Water Country like a stray dog!

He once couldn't find the meaning of life, but Orochimaru said to him, "There is no meaning in life, but as long as you are alive, you can find interesting things. Just like you found the flowers, and I found you."

It was Orochimaru who gave him the courage to live again.

"For myself! For Lord Ototake! And for... me!" At the end, Neji blushed, but still looked at Kimimaro firmly.

"For...Ningji..." Kimimaro's whole body trembled, and for the first time, there appeared a violent fluctuation in the green pupils of the Byakugan boy!

He stared at Neji blankly, deeply shocked.

Neji's sincere eyes made him understand what it felt like to have family!

"Yes!" Neji nodded solemnly, winked at Kimimaro, and showed an innocent smile on his face. "If it's okay!"

"Of course!" Kimimaro immediately responded.

"What about me!?" Shigeo on the side became a little anxious and hurried over.

Would Kimimaro abandon him?

"Hahahahahaha..."

Neji and Kimimaro looked at each other, then burst out laughing at the same time, throwing their heads back and laughing.

Shuiyue was the only one left, standing alone downstairs.

I watched them closely with envy, and my heart was filled with bitterness. "Brother, if you were still here, it would be so nice..."
