Chapter 234 Driven by the Shapeless
Naturally, such an obvious large-scale operation cannot be concealed from Gen's eyeliner.
The two forces that have been divided have the same purpose with each other, both exist to protect Konoha, but the methods are different.
Seeing that Sarutobi led many jounin to find Orochimaru without warning, Danzo's first reaction was not to inform Oroshemaru, but to think about how to cut off the relationship with Oroshemaru. He knew very well that Sarutobi must know him The relationship with Orochimaru, but it is also clear that Sarutobi will not easily bring this matter to the table.
He is the root deeply planted in the depths of the leaves. His root is strong and has many branches. It exists for the tree and cannot be pulled out easily.
Even so, at the moment when Sarutobi led the team to set off, he had to show a performance that had nothing to do with Orochimaru, even if it was just a small and insignificant matter.
"Go and destroy all the traces left by Orochimaru, leaving nothing behind." Danzo said calmly, looking at the empty front.
Behind him, there were three masked Anbu half-kneeling. After receiving the order, they turned into black shadows and disappeared on the spot.
"If it's you, you shouldn't just get caught like this. Don't blame me, Orochimaru." Danzo raised his right arm and showed a cold smile.
He didn't feel it a pity to lose Orochimaru, an ally who used interests as a bridge, because he basically already had what he wanted, and Orochimaru left behind a very important boy, the boy who could control Mutun... You know, Mu Dun can be used to restrain the tailed beast, and it is also an indispensable hole card for him to become Hokage in the future.
The achievement of the right arm has been completed, and the reason why he has maintained an interest relationship with Orochimaru is because he sees the possibility of the extension of Orochimaru's research institute. However, since the situation has evolved to such a point, it will stop here.
In the dense forest, there was no sound of insects singing.
The sound of heavy objects falling on tree trunks spread in the night sky.
Many Konoha ninjas came to a simple entrance made of stones, with tree roots wrapped around the stone pillars, a stone gate covered with green moss in the middle, and a big tree above the stone gate.
About 40 ninjas were scattered in the surrounding trees and underground in an instant, facing the location of the stone gate, presenting an enveloping formation.
Sarutobi was on the tree directly in front of him, looking at the entrance with a dignified expression.
"It's finally here..."
He stared at the stone gate covered by green moss, and ordered to the surrounding Konoha ninjas: "Take this as the center point and spread out to the surroundings at a distance of five kilometers. This is a secret stronghold. , there is definitely not only one exit.”
"Yes!" After taking the order, many ninjas distanced themselves from this intersection without hesitation. According to what the third Hokage-sama said, in order to prevent the stronghold from having other hidden exits, the encirclement had to be expanded to ensure that they would not be attacked. Orochimaru escapes.
Tsunade and Jirai did not leave either, but came to Sarutobi's side.
"Old man..." Jiraiya was interrupted by Sarutobi just as he spoke, "You guys go too."
Jiraiya frowned, didn't move, but asked, "Do you want to bear it alone?"
Yuan Fei glanced at him and said calmly, "Aren't there still guards?"
The guards he was referring to were the two Anbu members directly beside him, who had always been his capable subordinates, and their strength was not weak.
"It's best to let me stay by your side." Jirai didn't look down on these two Anbe members, but just thought it would be better for him to stay by Sarutobi's side.
Sarutobi refused decisively: "You also know Orochimaru's ability. If he wants to escape, I can't keep him at all, so in order to be sure, the strength of the encirclement must be guaranteed, so you and Tsunade will strengthen the encirclement. One of the important combat powers of our country cannot stay here."
Speaking of this, Sarutobi's tone was slightly lost, and he said: "Although I am old, I am not to the point of worrying you."
Hearing this, Jiraiya and Tsunade looked at each other, both of them showed hesitation, but the two of them were not at ease at all.
"Go." Yuan Fei's tone this time was very firm.
Jiraiya and Tsunade were taken aback for a moment, and then they left in silence.
After the two left, Sarutobi's figure flashed, came to the stone gate, stretched out his hand to imprint on the stone gate, he felt the wet green moss in his palm, he didn't push the door open immediately, but looked at the stone gate in silence.
"Third Hokage-sama." Anbu, who was wearing a bird mask, called out in confusion.
Sarutobi took a deep breath and pushed open the stone door.
Accompanied by a slight rumbling sound, the stone door gradually opened, and there was a sound of springs cracking in the passage, and a bunch of hidden weapons shot from the darkness.
Sarutobi didn't react at all, and the two Anbu beside him flashed in front of him with knives, knocking down all the hidden weapons that flew towards him.
"Is it a trap... It seems that you are prepared." Sarutobi looked at the hidden weapons all over the floor, and rushed into the passage first, followed by the two Anbu.
When Sarutobi entered Orochimaru's stronghold with only two Anbu, the other jounin were already in place in various positions, and surrounded Orochimaru's escape route in all directions, and the expansion of the encirclement also made Yan Ye Forced to retreat far away, they could only move around the periphery of the encirclement.
Sarutobi, who entered the stronghold, avoided many traps set by Orochimaru, and stopped suddenly in front of a wooden door. He could hear a slight sound coming from inside the door.
Sarutobi stared at the wooden door silently, with a very serious expression, and came to the door with two Anbu, he stood directly in front of the door, while the two Anbu stood on the left and right sides of the door.
The two Anbes held their knives tightly and waited for Sarutobi's order.
Sarutobi put his middle fingers together and pointed forward. The two people who got the order kicked open the wooden door, and the other quickly entered, occupying the position on the right.
The expected attack did not come.
Two Anbu stood guard on both sides, Yuan Fei walked in, looked at the scene in the room, his eyes narrowed sharply, shaped like pinpoints.
In the room, there is a workbench. Orochimaru is standing in front of the workbench, with his back to the three of them. His arms are moving. Since he is not facing the front, he cannot see clearly.
The strong smell of blood wafted into the noses of the three of them. Looking at the many corpses in the room, the three of them looked solemn.
On the wall, there are pieces of wooden boards lined up, and each board is hung with a person who has lost his breath, or his hands are tied high, or tied around his neck with a rope, or his hands are tied as if stretched out. In addition, in the corner on the other side, lay a large number of corpses, and each corpse was covered with a white cloth soaked in blood.
This cannot be compared to Asura Hell, but it is also a very cruel scene, which is the iron proof of human experimentation.
"Oshemaru, what is this...!" Sarutobi gritted his teeth fiercely, his eyes filled with deep disappointment.
"Humph."
A cold snort sounded in the room. Orochimaru looked back at Sarutobi standing in front of the door, his snake eyes were cold, and he said indifferently: "I set a lot of traps, I didn't expect you to go out in person."
"Orochimaru!"
Sarutobi suppressed his anger, and said, "Recently, the genin, chunin, and even the Anbu people who disappeared in the village were all caused by you!"
Orochimaru put down the utensils in his hands, let out a hoarse laugh, and said lightly: "Isn't this exactly what you see now?"
Anbe, wearing a small bird mask, asked in an extremely puzzled tone, "Master Orochimaru, why would a ninja like you..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Orochimaru: "Do you want to be killed by me?"
The cold snake eyes looked at the dark part of Xiaoniao's mask with a murderous intent. The latter was startled, and made a defensive posture reflexively.
Sarutobi stared at Orochimaru, and asked, "Why are you conducting human experiments?"
Hearing Sarutobi's question, Orochimaru looked back at the dark part of the bird's mask, smiled coldly, turned around, stretched out his hands, and said calmly: "Of course it is to develop ninjutsu!"
Anbu, wearing a dog mask, heard the words and said slightly angrily: "To conduct human experiments for such a thing, and he is a villager!"
Hearing this sentence, Orochimaru let out a low hoarse laughter again.
"You are really developing a taboo technique, what exactly do you want?" The disappointment in Yuan Fei's eyes was so strong that he couldn't get rid of it.
"Everything!"
Orochimaru put his hands down, raised his head slightly, looked at the lamp above, and a light called 'longing' appeared in his eyes.
Man is an animal driven by something formless.
Or beliefs, or goals, or... desires.
In order to get what you want, in order to reach the end you want to reach, you will work hard for it.
Seeing the malice and ambition in Orochimaru's eyes, Sarutobi couldn't help feeling bewildered.
