Ascension failed, the system took me away

"Orochimaru has already left town."

"Just go ahead, don't worry about that bounty hunter, Minato, take me down."

Jiraiya is rubbing his hands, ready to make a move.

He couldn't wait to beat up the scoundrel.

Minato nodded and placed his hand on Jiraiya's shoulder, "Genma, report the coordinates."

"Wait a moment, Orochimaru's route will pass through coordinate point 3 in the southeast. It is expected to reach the closest distance in 7 seconds, 250 meters."

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1."

"Yeah!"

The hot air balloon lightened, and Minato and Jiraiya disappeared instantly.

Appeared next to the Flying Thunder God Kunai reserved on the ground.

For masters like them, the distance of 250 meters is already very close in terms of perception.

Both sides discovered each other almost at the same time.

Orochimaru, who had just completed a deal and obtained high-end research equipment, was suddenly a little disappointed.

The eyes under the long hair narrowed, and the snake-like eyes flashed with a cold light.

"It's that toad Jiraiya again. He's really haunting us."

There was also a familiar aura around him, but I didn't know who it was.

However, the person who made him feel familiar was definitely a master.

He was in a hurry to go back and test the new equipment, so he didn't have time to dwell on it here.

There was no sign of him forming any seals, and his entire body instantly disintegrated into countless snakes, swimming away in all directions.

On the other side, Minato, who had just landed, suddenly realized something was wrong.

A familiar sensation arose in his body.

The feeling was similar to when they were together with Kushina.

Minato had a strong combat awareness and reacted almost immediately.

This feeling comes from the puppet they are attached to, and is the mutual induction of the same source of power.

Recalling the information that Genma Shiranui had said.

There is a half-black, half-white, non-human looking fellow who is good at hiding underground and is following Orochimaru.

The puppet he was attached to was only white, so when Genma Shiranui said half black and half white, he didn't think of this.

This white puppet has a special ability to burrow underground.

And it doesn't require hand seals like ninjutsu, it's like breathing, a natural instinct.

Basically the same as the half-black and half-white stalker.

Putting these clues together, Minato understood instantly.

The thing that was following Orochimaru was the same entity as the puppet he depended on.

I heard from Mr. Bai that this thing broke into Konoha and tried to steal information, and was caught by him.

That is to say, the person who is following Orochimaru is not just a bounty hunter, but is definitely an enemy.

These thoughts flashed through Minato's mind like lightning.

The figure that had just landed disappeared instantly, following the sensation, and chased after the tracker.

……

Ever since he hit a wall in Konoha, there has been no news from Obito.

Black Zetsu went to Kyoto, the capital of the Kingdom of Lightning and the Kingdom of Wind.

He used magic to quickly integrate the rotten officials of Daming Prefecture.

Allocate supplies to the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Sand Village.

He used the name of the daimyo to secretly order a war against Konoha.

After finishing the job, I remembered Orochimaru's secret base that I discovered on the way.

This guy didn't show much ability in the Akatsuki organization. With the help of the organization's intelligence, he secretly studied the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

And judging from the experimental records in the secret base, this forbidden technique has made good progress.

Upon seeing this, Black Zetsu immediately had an idea and temporarily stopped his plan to go to the Land of Earth to cause trouble.

Anyway, if there is an opportunity when the fight breaks out, that old fox Ohnoki will take the initiative to attack.

So Black Zetsu secretly followed Orochimaru and collected information from him.

I want to find Orochimaru's weakness as a breakthrough point, and then discuss cooperation with him.

But everything was fine at first, but suddenly the half of the White Zetsu he was possessing sensed the appearance of a fellow being out of thin air.

Black Zetsu suddenly felt something was wrong. There were so many White Zetsu that he couldn't recognize them all.

But this one that suddenly appeared left a deep impression on him and he could never forget it.

That was one of the White Zetsu that he had sent to Konoha to gather intelligence.

Unfortunately, we lost contact as soon as we entered Konoha.

I don't know if he's dead or captured.

It would not be a good thing to reappear now.

It is very likely that Konoha is using some means to track him down.

Moreover, he sensed that the missing White Zetsu had already moved towards his location.

This time, Black Zetsu no longer thought about Orochimaru and turned around and ran away.

The art of mayfly is used to its full potential, traveling underground at high speed.

As for killing the White Zetsu who was chasing him, Black Zetsu didn't even think about it.

As the sixth oldest person in the millennium, he was very cautious about such unknown things with unclear information.

Who knows what tricks this White Zetsu has, and the fact that it dares to chase after us means it has something to rely on.

He didn't want to confront Konoha directly at all now, so it was better to run away first.

According to Minato's perception, the opponent's moving speed underground was extremely fast.

Countless times more powerful than ordinary earth-style ninjutsu.

Seeing that his opponent was getting deeper and deeper, Minato tried to use the ability of the puppet he was attached to.

The Mayfly Technique was activated, and the whole person sank into the ground and disappeared like a drop of water falling into the sea.

There is no damage to the land, it is as leisurely as a fish swimming in the water.

It can even pass directly through the root system of plants, which is something that earth escape cannot do.

“This technique is truly magical.”

Minato couldn't help but sigh.

I just don't know if I can use other ninjutsu in this state.

But I'd better try it later and catch up with the enemy first.

The two people chased each other underground, and no one knew how far they had traveled.

……

on the ground.

Jiraiya didn't care about Minato's disappearance and thought he had returned to the hot air balloon.

He now had only one thought in his mind, to beat up the scoundrel.

Seeing Orochimaru using the same old trick to escape, he sneered.

"Orochimaru, do you think I will be fooled?"

As he spoke, he instantly fell into the group of snakes.

Suddenly, all kinds of colorful snakes with venomous fangs bared pounced on them.

Ninja: Acupuncture Jizo.

Jiraiya's white hair instantly grew and hardened, forming a cloak that wrapped around him.

All the poisonous snakes that came were skewered together, sprinkled with cumin and ready to be grilled.

He ignored the mess of snakes around him, as he was already very familiar with Orochimaru's escape move.

It's a good time to try out his new technique.

The art of spiritual communication: Toad Oil Swamp.

In an instant, a large area of ​​the ground turned into a lake.

However, what is contained inside is not water, but toad oil.

This is a ninjutsu similar to the Toad Mouth Binding Technique, an application of the summoning technique.

Summon the Toad Oil Pond from Myoboku Mountain.

All the poisonous snakes on the surface fell into the pool, and the snakes that burrowed into the ground floated up.

Twisting and struggling in the sticky toad oil.

Jiraiya ignited a flame in his hand and stared at the center of the oil pool.

"Orochimaru, please come out on your own, or you will really become an old acquaintance."

As soon as he finished speaking, a snake in the oil pool suddenly swelled up.

The mouth opened wide and a pale arm stretched out from the snake's mouth.

Then the head, shoulders, and then the whole body emerged from the body of a small snake.

This is one of Orochimaru's famous skills, Snake Spit Me.
