In order to perfectly eliminate Danzo's forces in Konoha and the Land of Fire, Nagase specially brought Danzo's former strategic partner Orochimaru to carry out the mission together.
In fact, Orochimaru was also quite confused. He was in the laboratory and Danzo suddenly disappeared overnight.
From a highly respected elder of Konoha, he became a prisoner hated by everyone.
However, Nagase gave him a hand and helped him deal with some things related to Danzo.
Originally, as Orochimaru was once a member of the Root and a high-ranking one at that, he also had to be investigated by the Anbu.
However, the person in charge was Nagase, so Orochimaru was able to temporarily overcome the crisis of exposure.
"Mr. Nagase, thank you very much for your help this time." Orochimaru and Nagase were walking in a forest not far from Konoha, and thanked Nagase.
"After all, the person was captured by Danzo, and I don't think you should be implicated too much." Nagase chuckled.
He certainly wouldn't let Orochimaru's previous human experiments be exposed.
Wouldn't that mean all the efforts he put into Orochimaru would be in vain? Orochimaru would once again go on the path of defection, even much earlier than in the original work.
After all, Orochimaru is different from Danzo, and there is still a possibility that Orochimaru can be whitewashed.
When the time is right, even those experiments can be made public.
Human experiments depend on who you use for the experiment and how you get the people.
Supervised human experimentation is acceptable to the public.
"We're almost there." Orochimaru reminded.
The place they were heading to was a Root base that Danzo had hidden outside of Konoha.
According to Orochimaru, since the Root was disbanded, Danzo transferred some confidential information and many ninjas who were trained in secret without reporting to Konoha to a base outside the village.
Yes, there are many ninjas in the Root that Konoha has no information about.
Those ninjas were basically orphans taken in by Danzo, or children bought or collected through various means and trained.
They had never received any training from Konoha, and Danzo did not report it, so Konoha naturally knew nothing about them.
Orochimaru glanced around and finally locked onto a location with dense grass.
Orochimaru waved his sleeves, and a huge poisonous snake suddenly came out from his sleeves, biting the piece cleanly, revealing a square entrance.
Nagase looked towards the entrance and saw a few steps and then darkness.
The two of them walked in openly.
Just when the two were about to reach the end, a group of people in Anbu uniforms rushed over.
(ps: The uniforms of the Root are similar to those of the Anbu, except that the masks are a little more fancy)
These Root people were stunned when they saw Orochimaru.
In their impression, Orochimaru is also a member of the Root, and one with a very high status.
As for Nagase, they subconsciously thought that he was Orochimaru's follower, even though the two were working in parallel.
"Lord Orochimaru."
Finally, the leading Root member with dark red patterns stood up and greeted Orochimaru.
Orochimaru said without changing his expression: "Yes."
"I wonder what Lord Orochimaru is here for? Is it Lord Danzo's order?" asked the root of the mask with dark red patterns.
Since Danzo was arrested late last night, he had no time to notify the people here.
These Root members did not know that their leader Danzo had been arrested and imprisoned, and they still thought that Danzo was the powerful Konoha elder.
"Yes, Danzo asked me to take you back to Konoha." Orochimaru raised the corner of his mouth, and an evil smile appeared on his cold face.
“But…” The leader was a little confused. It had only been a short time since they moved here, and they had wasted so much effort. How could they move back so quickly
But he soon found out how Orochimaru was going to bring them back to Konoha.
Orochimaru attacked fiercely, grabbed the leading member's neck with his right hand, then swung him hard and slammed him against the metal wall next to him with a dull crash.
Orochimaru's sudden attack caught the leading Root member off guard.
Just when he was trying to endure the pain and stand up, he found that he had lost control of his body and many tiny poisonous snakes were biting his flesh wantonly.
Just now when Orochimaru grabbed his neck, he also put a poisonous snake on him!
Orochimaru suddenly attacked and confused all the Root members. What happened
However, as elite ninjas who had been cruelly trained by Danzo since childhood, they reacted quickly and used their own ninjutsu to cover Orochimaru and Nagase.
There are kunai and shurikens with explosive tags, as well as a variety of colorful escape techniques.
Nagase pulled out the short sword on his back and used his chakra in conjunction with the Sun Breathing.
The powerful, fully concentrated breathing allowed Nagase to exhale streams of materialized white mist.
The armed color domineering covered the entire sword, dyeing the silver-white short sword into a black sword.
Finally, Nagase poured all his strength into the short sword and swung it out fiercely.
"Breathing of the Sun, Fourteenth Form: Fiery Sun Parade!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The moment the short sword was swung, a strong and fierce wind was generated.
Immediately afterwards, a huge slash like the scorching sun appeared in everyone's sight.
The slash, like the blazing sun, emitted a brilliant red light, illuminating the root base of darkness and dyeing everyone in a dazzling red.
This is a new sword form that Nagase realized during the challenge of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi. After obtaining the same wall-hanging talent as Tsugakuni Yoshiichi, Nagase improved this move.
Originally it was just an ordinary flame, but after the chakra and the Sun Breathing were combined,
The flame transformed by chakra is affected by the Breathing of the Sun, and the temperature of the flame is far higher than that of ordinary flames.
This means that if it is an ordinary water jutsu, no matter how many there are, they will not be able to withstand his slashing attack because the temperature of his flame is too high.
In Nagase's vision, this potential is huge, and as he continues to improve, it can even become a true "Breathing of the Sun", slashing out flames with the same temperature as the sun.
This is also the reason why Nagase had to cover the dagger with armed color first, otherwise the dagger would not be able to withstand the powerful force in an instant and would shatter directly.
Boom boom boom!!
The slashing blows like the scorching sun swallowed up all attacks, whether they were kunai, shuriken or various escape techniques, causing small explosions one after another.
Although it swallowed so many attacks, the Scorching Sun Slash did not disappear and continued to move towards those root members.
Those root members had never seen such a scene before. In their eyes, the scorching sun was just a miniature sun.
"Water jutsu, use water jutsu quickly!" a Root member shouted.
Several Root Ninjas who knew water jutsu immediately joined together to cast Water Array Wall, trying to use this defensive ninjutsu to block Nagase's attack.
However, before Nagase's Fiery Sun Slash hit the water array, as soon as it approached, a sizzling sound began to appear, and a large amount of water was evaporated and turned into steam.
When Orochimaru saw this scene, the look he gave Nagase changed slightly.
This scorching sun-like slash was somewhat beyond his expectations. He could feel a strong sense of crisis from the scorching sun-like slash.
If he took this blow head-on, even he would probably die on the spot.
Moreover, he felt that Nagase's temperament at this time was not consistent with that of a ninja, but rather a bit like the samurai of the Iron Kingdom.
Sizzle!
The moment the scorching sun slash approached the water array wall, the water array wall jointly cast by several Root ninjas completely turned into white mist and dissipated.
The Root ninjas didn't hesitate, except for the one who was paralyzed by Orochimaru's poison, everyone walked towards the depths of the base without hesitation.
A large snake emerged from Orochimaru's sleeves, rolled up the immobile root, and brought it to his side.
Jonin are excellent experimental subjects and cannot be wasted.
The Giant Sun Slash continued to move forward, and finally exploded completely at a corner.
Boom!!!
A huge explosion sounded, and the powerful impact directly shook the entire root base. A large area turned into scorched earth with flames burning on it.
Nagase stood in front of Orochimaru, his whole body seemed to be wrapped in an invisible armor, and all the impacts were blocked ten centimeters away from Nagase.
Seeing Nagase blocking him, Orochimaru's idea of using summoning technique to summon a giant snake was extinguished.
After all, it's impossible for Nagase to be so aggressive on purpose. This was his own attack, he must be aware of its power.
That kind of drama could only happen between young couples who know nothing and are in love.
However, seeing that Nagase blocked the attack in a way he couldn't understand, Orochimaru couldn't help but lick his lips with his tongue.
This time, Nagaze showed a lot of power that he didn't know about.
