Naruto's Shulker Snake

"First of all, you have to be yourself and protect the things you care about?"

Tsunade and Jiraiya said, but they seemed to feel much more relaxed all of a sudden, "It seems...it's not difficult."

"Ha ha."

Ye Long smiled lightly and shook his head. It is not easy to be yourself and protect the things you care about.

To put it bluntly, this is different from everyone's positioning of themselves.

For Naruto, the difficulty of protecting the things he cares about is no different from saving the world, right?

Fortunately, I am not that great, nor do I have this ability.

Being alone and carefree is probably Ye Long's character, while Orochimaru also has the obsession to pursue the truth.

But true freedom and pursuit of truth are not easy.

"Hey, you three don't look too good. Did something happen while I was away?"

A hoarse and magnetic voice stopped Tsunade and Jiraiya's self-pity, and also ended Ye Long's soul poisonous chicken soup. Orochimaru came back leisurely surrounded by hundreds of Konoha ninjas, with people rushing behind him. The number of the surrounding Konoha team soon exceeded a thousand.

Such powerful Kusanagi would probably be no match even if they were all ready to fight, especially after Orochimaru and Ye Long revealed their strength.

"Orochimaru, what's going on over there?" Jiraiya asked.

"Lord Orochimaru easily killed the Grass Ninja Wu Ya, and the Three Great Grass Ninjas existed in name only."

Yoshida said excitedly while holding his toothy head.

"It's a pity that we let the others go and lost the baggage. I'm afraid we will have to retreat temporarily, and then we will have to rely on Maoshuo's troops to clean up the mess."

Orochimaru licked his tongue and said it was a pity, but there was no regret at all.

After counting, Konoha's 400-strong army was almost wiped out, and those who survived were basically unable to become ninjas. The Kusanagi also suffered heavy losses, with nearly 300 casualties.

Although a large amount of the baggage of Konoha's second vanguard force was destroyed, and more than a thousand people could only retreat slowly towards the Land of Fire. However, all the elite Kusanagi died, and even Wuya was sacrificed. I don't know that Yama Kusao saw that he had taken his own initiative. Will Kyohou Kusano be furious?

In short, the grass ninja made a small profit at most in this wave, but Konoha definitely did not lose.

Especially the current state of Kusano Mao...

Ye Long communicated vaguely with Orochimaru, and then quietly disappeared from everyone's sight.

In the dense forest, more than a hundred grass ninjas were running around in panic, like bereaved dogs.

This operation may have failed, or it may just be wishful thinking. In short, they failed, and they must have angered Konoha. The outcome is still unknown, and everyone is in a state of confusion.

The disciples of the Third Hokage are not simple. The few psychic beasts that are so huge that they can cover the sky are far beyond their imagination. There is also the young ninja who suddenly appeared, Lord Wu Ya. Not cheap.

Then how strong will the Third Hokage be?

How powerful would the legendary twin gods of Konoha be?

Is this really something we grass ninjas can provoke?

"stop"

Kusano Kyo panted and gave the order.

Although she was originally confident of escaping the pursuit of Konoha ninjas, she didn't know why Orochimaru didn't seem to be active in chasing them. She should be safe now.

But just before, Wuya's mental fluctuations were permanently extinguished, which made her feel confused.

"Report to Lord Kusano Kyo..."

Listening to the Kusano ninja's casualty report, Kusano Kyo felt dizzy again, and couldn't help shouting angrily:

"Kusanoma Yu, you useless piece of trash, what on earth have you done?"

From being rescued to now, Kusano Mao is like a wooden man, neither participating in the battle nor taking the initiative to speak.

"Um"

At first he didn't feel anything was wrong, but Kusano Kyo suddenly looked at the dull-looking Kusano Mao.

Kusano Mao looked numb and said nothing.

"Damn Konoha, these despicable people actually did something."

Seeing Kusano Mao's appearance, Kusano Kyo's first reaction was that he had been under some kind of genjutsu before, and he immediately used his mental power to attack his mind, trying to break his genjutsu restriction.

"Wave"

After an imperceptible mental fluctuation, Yuu Kusano felt as if he was electrocuted. His expression suddenly changed, as if he had regained consciousness. His expression immediately became richer, but his face was full of fear.

"Sister...I...I..."

"What the hell did they do to you?"

Kusano Kyo couldn't help but growl, and at the same time, a medical ninja from the Kusano ninja rushed over.

"I...I'm...I'm in a very bad situation right now."

Feeling the unconscious and completely unfamiliar body, and thinking of the scene after being captured by Ye Long, Kusano Kyo's face turned pale, and his whole spirit collapsed.

Poor guy, he didn't even know he was dead.

"Tell me what's wrong with you"

Seeing his brother looking so cowardly and frightened, Kusano Kyo was furious and shook his body violently.

"I"

Just as Yu Kusano was about to speak, his expression suddenly fell into a trance again and he became motionless.

Then just a moment later, a cold spiritual power came and made him clear, but he already carried another consciousness.

"Sister, I want to know how you got the information about Konoha and planned this operation."

Kusano Mao stared into Kusano Kyo's eyes, looking indescribably weird.

"I'm"

Just as Kusano Kyo was about to speak, a palm suddenly hit Kusano Mao's chest and knocked him away.

"What happened"

The grass ninjas around him came over inexplicably.

"Hold him down, he has been controlled by medical ninja, check his condition"

As expected of a shadow-level powerhouse who is proficient in mental power, the first version of "The Reincarnation of the Earth" had a huge flaw that could not be hidden from Kusano Kyo's eyes.

She had already noticed something was wrong.

..................

"Trouble, as expected, it's still too much to rely on the current technology. That Kusano Kyo still has a few tricks up his sleeve."

In a remote corner of the Konoha camp, Ye Long sat cross-legged, pressed two fingers on his left eye, and murmured to himself.

"But I still have to give it a try. Who could it be? It can't be Black Zetsu. He won't be so boring."

At the same time, a huge and pure spiritual power spanned a long distance, and was suddenly applied to Kusano Mao's body using the technique of Reincarnation in the Earth as a medium.

Kusano Mao, who was originally depressed and held down, suddenly raised his head, and two substantial silver rays of light struck the horrified Kusano Kyo with huge mental pressure.

"what"

"boom"

Countless thoughts were flowing uncontrollably in her mind, and Kusano looked horrified. She knew that the other party was trying to forcefully obtain information from her mind.

"Don't think about what kind of existence you are."

"boom"

There seemed to be a thunderous explosion in the air, which was a strange phenomenon caused by the confrontation of mental powers.

Kusano Kyo's face turned pale, and he took a few steps back. Kusano Mao's face made a "wave" sound, and one of his eyes exploded. His whole body seemed to have been unplugged and fell straight to the ground.

"puff"

At the same time, Ye Long's face flushed, and a mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, which he forcibly pressed down.

"Ahem, I was overconfident just now. It was too dangerous to compete with others for mental strength through the reincarnation of the earth. It almost caused the reincarnation of the earth to collapse and damaged my mental will."

Ye Long took a long breath.

"The body that I was reincarnated into was really unreliable, and it didn't have the blessing of the Sharingan. It was such a disadvantage.

I just didn’t expect that it was this kid who was responsible.”
