Whether it was Konoha ANBU, Jiraiya or the artistic duo of the "Akatsuki" organization, they almost all discovered each other, but each had their own concerns and did not take action.

In addition to them, Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja also sent teams to monitor from a distance.

It is rare for so many masters to gather in a small place like Tianzhi Country.

After a few attempts, even if Orochimaru was more relaxed, he should have realized there was a problem.

When the surrounding informants passed the information about those uninvited people to Orochimaru, one of the former "Sannin" who almost shed a cold sweat because of his negligence, immediately decided to seal off all nearby underground bases and

Move the core.

The pharmacist who presided over the promotion was busy and packed up the important equipment and experimental records in the laboratory. The valuable "materials" locked in the dungeon were left in batches, and the remaining "consumables" were used as cannon fodder to attract

Attention of intruders.

Orochimaru himself, who was at the center of the incident, calmed down and was not in a hurry to leave.

Let's not talk about whether the secret base will be discovered. Even if it is breached, Orochimaru, who has the advantage of home field, is still very confident of repelling the incoming enemy.

The only ones that need to be concerned about are Jiraiya who has been pursuing him for many years and has not given up, and the Red Sand Scorpion who is disliked no matter what.

"Lord Orochimaru, do you want to catch up with old friends?"

"Wouldn't it be a pity to miss such a good opportunity? Aren't there rumors that I secretly dug the first generation's grave? Wouldn't it look too weak to not respond to it?"

"All right."

Yakushi Kabuto escorted the supplies away first, but his heart was filled with tears.

"What a pity? Weakness? Orochimaru-sama didn't have such rich extreme ideas before, what's wrong now?"

If Orochimaru really cared so much about what outsiders thought of him, he wouldn't have defected from the Leaf Village back then.

Apart from the idea of ​​immortality and the plan to explore the secrets of ninjutsu, everything else is dispensable.

With doubts and worries, Kabuto Yakushi skillfully used a series of disguises to deceive everyone and successfully escape from the dangerous situation.

Orochimaru, who knew there was something wrong with his mentality, had no intention of changing it for the time being.

Instead, he did many things that surprised him.

A week later, in an abandoned temple east of Tian Country, Jiraiya, who had drank some wine and rested for a while, strolled down the long street with his sleeves rolled up.

"I'm here at invitation, Orochimaru, why don't you show up yet?"

"You are really as stupid as before. Aren't you afraid that this is a trap?"

"Even if I have to go up the mountain of knives or go down into the sea of ​​fire, I will still come. It is my mission to take you back and let you go."

"That's a shameless statement. Isn't your mission to find the child of destiny? I'm not the savior those stinky toads talk about. If you go against me, you won't be able to gain favor."

"You won't know until you try it."

Around the corner, Orochimaru, who exuded a cold aura and had an evil smile on his face, walked over and stood more than twenty meters in front of Jiraiya.

"I also want to see the clever tricks of Toad Sage Jiraiya. You're welcome, just come over here."

After hearing this, Jiraiya's face became serious and he quickly formed seals.

"Fire Release·Fire Bullet."

Gather chakra in your mouth, condense it into oil, and use fire escape the moment you spit it out to ignite it.

The oil fueled the fire, and the high-temperature and high-heat fire oil bombs headed in the direction of Orochimaru.

"Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall."

A wide earth wall rose from the ground in front of him, blocking the attack of Fire Release and Flame Bullet.

The high temperature and high heat produced a small explosion, which cracked the wall of the earth flow, then burned it and dumped it down.

Although the Earth Release and Earth Current Wall were defeated, the Fire Release and Fire Bullet did not cause any damage.

Orochimaru, who was so rested, looked at Jiraiya holding the azure blue chakra ball - the Rasengan, walking up to him and pressing his hand over him. The power of the A-level ninjutsu was indeed extraordinary. Orochimaru's body seemed to be blown away.

The rag was knocked down, rolling on the ground for more than ten meters, and finally stopped after collapsing the wall behind it.

It seems that Jiraiya has the upper hand, but Orochimaru is not so easy to catch.

The sluggish figure turned into a pile of loess, and it turned out that what Riraiya had hit was just a clay puppet.

"That's all you have? Orochimaru, you've regressed."

As he spoke, Jiraiya's white hair suddenly stretched out, covering his whole body, blocking the sword light that suddenly struck him.

"No, you are still the same, still as sinister. And I have become stronger. You will definitely not be able to run away this time."

"In the past few years, this is how many times you have said this and come back disappointed. Haven't you learned your lesson? It seems that your understanding is only that, and you can't recognize the gap between you and me."

"You are wrong, I will prove it to you."

As he spoke, Jiraiya took a few steps back, bit his finger, and cast a psychic technique. Violent chakra fluctuations erupted, and a huge red-skinned toad appeared impatiently with scars all over his body and a large knife on his back.

"What is it this time, Jiraiya...eh? Orochimaru, we really meet old friends."

Seeing that the other party had finished testing, Orochimaru was not polite and quickly called Wan She over.

"I told you, Orochimaru, don't cause any trouble to me until we have agreed on the number of sacrifices."

"two hundred."

"Deal, since you are so sensible, I will reluctantly do it...wait, is it you stinky toad?"

"Garbage bug, want to test whether my knife is sharp?"

"Sooner or later I will crush you and eat you, you bastard who has no other ability except your big breath."

Generally speaking, frogs are the prey of snakes, but toads have venom glands on their bodies and are too large, so many snakes are reluctant to provoke them.

In fact, snakes and frogs prey on each other. Whoever eats the other depends on which one is bigger and can swallow the other.

People often see water snakes eating frogs, but rarely see frogs preying on water snakes because they can't compete on the same stage.

Some giant frogs, such as toads, bullfrogs, and horned frogs, do include smaller snakes and juvenile snakes in their diets. Once caught, they will swallow them without hesitation.

Gamabunta originally belongs to a race whose body is only a stomach except for the mouth. It is completely possible to swallow a snake similar to its own size. Of course, it is not a problem for Wanshi to eat Gamabunta.

Gamabunta, holding the handle of the knife with his forelimbs, was on guard against the snakes that were spitting out snake messages. Jiraiya, who was standing overhead, was looking at Orochimaru from a distance, using words to delay the experiment while forming seals to prepare for sage mode.

Orochimaru acted as if he didn't know anything, and watched Jiraiya's movements with great curiosity. His own perception clearly detected the changes in the natural energy around him. He also began to activate the curse seal quietly, getting ready to activate the sage mode.

A few minutes later, Jiraiya, who was chattering endlessly, accumulated enough chakra and turned on the sage mode. The frog transformation marks on his face were very deep. At the same time, he used the psychic technique to call Shima sage and Fukasaku sage over, and performed the celestial magic.

The art of life combines the power of the three, and the power of the Toad Immortal reaches its peak.

"Immortal Technique·Fire Release·Great Flame Bullet."

After being prepared, Jiraiya quickly used his powerful fire escape and headed towards the huge Manji and Orochimaru.

"Innocent."

Orochimaru, who sneered, used Earth Release and Earth Release Wall again to block the Immortal Fire Release.

The result this time was no different from last time.

"This is impossible."

The stunned Jiraiya looked at the immortal magic being blocked, and was a little confused for a moment.

Neither of them restrain each other, the Senjutsu, Fire Release, and Great Flame Bullet are enough to crush ordinary Earth Release Ninjutsu into slag.

After Shima Sennin coughed twice, he pointed in the direction of Orochimaru and said:

"Little Jiraiya, look across the way. We are in trouble!"

I saw that Orochimaru's body shape also changed slightly, the traces of snake transformation were obvious, and four or five purple dragon-shaped chakras circled around his body. It was obviously not an ordinary jutsu.

"Is that...also the immortal mode? This shouldn't be the case. He has said before that he failed in practicing snake immortality."

"Failed in the past does not mean that he will not succeed in the future. Obviously, Orochimaru did it. He is really an incredible genius."

"Even so, I won't stop."

As he spoke, Jiraiya once again summoned up all the chakra in his body. After accumulating the energy, he opened his mouth and spit out a large ball of fire.

"Senfa Goemon."

It is almost the strongest fire escape ninjutsu that Jiraiya can perform now, and it also relies on the power of the experienced Shima Sage and Fukasaku Sage.

"Psychic·Triple Rashomon."

As Orochimaru's words fell, three doors with grimaces rose from the ground, blocking the extremely powerful fire escape.

The triple Rashomon gates were destroyed one after another, proving that Jiraiya's technique was indeed terrible. The partially weakened Senjutsu Goemon, after hitting Manji and Orochimaru head-on, jumped into the air.

Fierce flames.

Half a minute later, the scorching flames slowly subsided, but Jiraiya looked around with a somewhat unsightly expression.

The snake-like object under the firelight was just a hollow mass of snake slough, and the real owner had long since disappeared.

The extremely powerful fire escape ninjutsu didn't work. Jiraiya was a little disappointed, but he could understand it. If Orochimaru could be captured so easily, it wouldn't be so difficult.

"Where are the people?"
