Forty-nine years of Konoha become a past in silence, and the new year comes in peace.

However, when it was still cold and warm, Sarutobi Hinata suddenly sent an urgent order to summon Natsuki, and before seeing the other party, Natsuki had already guessed what was going on.

"Orochimaru has completely lost control!" Sarutobi Hinako has changed into combat uniforms. He is not tall and strong. The momentum he exudes is particularly heavy at this moment. It makes people know that although he has stepped down, he is still the Naruto with the title of "strongest"!

"I'm sorry, Master San Dianme, I... actually expected this." Natsuki saw the report of missing people in Konoha village handed over by Anbu, and sighed and looked at Sarutobi Hinazo with guilt.

"Naki, how could you... Oh, yes, Orochimaru and Danzo have always colluded. You are the channel for communication between them." Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while and thought about the reason. Although that was not the real reason, Natsuki would not correct anything.

"The wooden escape was reproduced in the hands of Lord Orochimaru, but he was not aware of this. Lord Danzo concealed this. I think he should have expected this situation at the earliest." Natsuki said recalling.

Sarutobi Hinata suddenly felt heavy burden when he heard this, but now that things have come to this point, he couldn't blame anyone. He could only take a deep breath and said with a serious face: "Orochimaru will reach this point today. As his teacher, I have a deep responsibility. Since I have discovered it, I must be completely corrected!"

The Anbe ninja, who was secretly summoned, was in awe when they heard this. At this time, neither of them doubted whether Sarutobi Hinata had the determination to destroy his relatives for justice.

However, in fact, let alone them, even Sarutobi Hirashou himself thought he could kill Orochimaru with pain, but all the consequences of everything will only reveal their true appearance when it comes.

"Since you have made up your mind, then give orders!" Natsuki looked at Sarutobi Hinata and said.

"Soon changes, let's set off!" After Sarutobi Hinata said that, his thin body went out more and rushed to the front.

Natsuki and the Anbe Ninja follow closely behind.

The meeting place was outside Konoha Village, only a short distance from the dense forested wilderness, and Orochimaru's secret experimental base was hidden somewhere in the forest.

While moving forward, Natsuki asked about Sarutobi Hiruzen's tactical arrangements, and glanced at the same time, which was obviously Haki Kakashi's Anbu.

"Although Kakashi is considered to be the top ninja of this generation, his strength is still far from that of Orochimaru." He did not avoid Kakashi's presence and directly suggested to Sarutobi Hinako, "Let me hand over the task of intercepting Orochimaru."

Sarutobi Hinata looked at Natsuki in surprise, but looked at the young man's eyes that seemed to see through everything.

"Well, I'll ask you, Natsuki." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a secret sigh of relief, only to feel relaxed all over.

More than ten concealment measures were set up outside Orochimaru's secret experimental base, but as long as anything changes, it will inevitably leave traces, just like using lies to cover up lies, and the rest of the lies are still lies.

Orochimaru's arrangement can be rated as the highest excellent level in the eyes of secret troops like Anbu, and then it was cracked one after another by Anbu's agency experts, without causing any noise.

At least on the surface.

All the mechanisms were broken, and the cave leading to the experimental base was exposed.

Looking at the black hole that stretched downwards into the ground, Natsuki said in his heart that it is indeed a snake. If there is a competition to dig a hole, Orochimaru will definitely be the leader.

"Naki, Orochimaru has a cunning temperament. There may be only one entrance, but the exit may not be like this. Ye Owl is a perception ninja and can assist you in action." Sarutobi Hinako pointed to an Anbe ninja and said to Natsuki.

"No need, Master Sandai Me." Natsuki shook his head and refused, "I also master the perceptual ninjutsu, and the scope is wide enough."

"Since that's the case, then be careful." Sarutobi Hinata was not very thoughtful at this moment, and he didn't say much after hearing this. After giving a message, he took a deep breath and ran into the dark hole first.

Only Xia Shu was left in front of the entrance, but he did not take action immediately and stood there, as if waiting for something to appear on his own initiative.

The birds were singing crisply in the quiet forest, and the squirrels poked their heads out on the branches. The dark eyes looked at the standing human being, tilted their heads, and suddenly felt bored. They shaking their fluffy tails and climbed down the tree and ran to the distance.

Hiss ~ Hiss ~

Without letting Suzuki wait, the one who should have appeared appeared.

A small snow-white snake drilled out of the grass and came to the entrance of the cave. The pair of ruby-like eyes stared at the young man with interest. Although they were clearly looking up, they still exuded a momentum of a predator staring at the prey.

"Long time no see, Xia Shujun." The snow-white little snake spitted a scarlet letter and made a hoarse voice.

"It's Lord Orochimaru who is too busy." Natsuki squatted down, flattened his eyes from both sides, and sighed regretfully: "Otherwise, he wouldn't have exposed his feet, and he was caught by Lord Nobumi."

"There will be this day sooner or later." The snow-white little snake shook his head, with a sigh in his tone, and a little bit of ease about to break free from the shackles. For Orochimaru, who has abandoned human nature, leaving Konoha Village, a place that once gave him a lot of warmth, may be equivalent to liberation.

Orochimaru pondered for a moment and asked, "But what kind of thoughts do you come here with?"

"Oh?" Xia Shu raised her eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Do you think I have a different intention than Master San Dianmu?"

"Haha." Orochimaru smiled hoarsely, "Although Danzo is a cunning person, his skills are a little worse in his ability to look at people. Just like he did not see that his white teeth were sharpened by him, he was actually extremely fragile under his hard appearance. Just like Kakashi whose heart was filled with darkness, he still had a hint of desire and eagerness for light. However, the impact of what Haki and his son did on Danzo was not as great as the things you did on him. After all, you not only took over the roots he trained, but even the unattainable Naruto throne was only one step away from you."

Listening to the words of the snow-white little snake, Natsuki narrowed his eyes. When he finished speaking, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Master Orochimaru, although you are an elder, you can't just insult others in vain."
