Chapter 73: Playing off
The three little ones looked at each other.
Since Ao successfully survived, no matter what the situation outside is, the three of them must go out.
The best situation is naturally that all three jonin of the Kirigakure Village survive, and the jonin of the opposing Akimichi clan fails in their desperate counterattack.
But it is also possible that only Ao survived and is now being besieged by three Konoha Jonins.
But even so, Kaito and the other two would not abandon Ao, who had always taken good care of them, and run away.
"The four of them have not moved yet, so this shouldn't be the worst situation."
Zabuza sensed it carefully again and then answered.
"Let's go to Ao-sensei's direction first!"
The three of them no longer hesitated, and all jumped out of the collapsed pit and ran towards the direction pointed by Zabuza.
Fortunately, it was not the worst situation, but the scene in front of the three people was still tragic.
Among the four surviving jonin, the jonin of the Akimichi clan had already fallen into a coma and was being protected by the ninja of the Nara clan behind him.
The opponent's abdon was pierced by a sharp weapon on his back. He must be a dead ninja from the Yamanaka clan.
The ones who survived on the Kirigakure side were Ao and Kushimaru, but both of them were not having a good ti either.
Kushimaru's right arm had been twisted into a very strange shape by sothing, and there were multiple wounds on his body. He could only half-kneel on the ground, gasping for breath, while supporting himself with the Long Blade: Nuibari in his left hand.
Ao's left leg seed to be broken by a heavy object, and was bent at an angle that was completely contrary to common sense of the human body. White bones could be vaguely seen among the bloody flesh. He was weakly half-leaning in a large hole that looked like it was caused by a ninjutsu explosion.
As for the bodies of the other two Konoha ninjas and Yako, they were in a horrible state. Their final location could only be determined by the large amount of blood oozing out on the ground. It would probably be difficult to dig them out in a short ti.
Seeing that Kaito and the other two had arrived relatively safe and sound, Ao's tense spirit finally relaxed and he fainted directly.
As for the senior ninja from the Nara clan, he imdiately put his hands together and looked at them warily when the three people arrived.
At this ti, Kushimaru on the other side was breathing heavily and spoke happily at the sa ti.
"That guy doesn't have much chakra left. He's trying to scare you. Go ahead and kill him, kid."
After saying this, perhaps because he was too excited and his wound was affected, Kushimaru fell to the ground.
However, the three little ones did not have such high trust in Kushimaru, so they all chose to test him by long-range throwing.
But Zabuza was a little different. He held the steel wire with one hand and threw the short sword out with the other hand.
Seeing this, Nara Suzaku's eyes beca blank and he fell into despair.
Just as Kushimaru said, he had already fallen into a state of chakra depletion, and even his physical strength was almost exhausted.
The reason why he was still alive was because his teammate Akimichi Tsukabe, before Tsukabe ate the "yellow curry ball" in anger and prepared to use the Super Expansion Jutsu. He did not forget to throw Yamanaka Ike's body into the air with him.
Just now, in order to be able to take a defensive posture without leaving any flaws, he had already exhausted the last of his physical strength.
'At least I stood up in front of Tsukabe before I died.' Nara Suzaku thought so.
However, a strange strip-shaped object flew in front of him from a distance, swung around in the air, blocked all attacks, and then fell to the ground.
Looking closely, it turned out to be a poisonous snake as thick as a forearm nailed to the ground.
Everyone looked towards the shore in the direction the poisonous snake ca from, and saw two figures running towards them at a high speed from the sea.
Looking at the feminine man with long black hair and wearing a Konoha Jonin vest who was rushing in front, Kaito could already feel the breath of death approaching without the reminder of 'Anticipation'.
The person who ca was Orochimaru, the front-line commander of Konoha and one of the Sannin ninjas.
Orochimaru ignored the three frightened little ones and instantly landed next to Nara Suzaku with Yakushi Nono.
He patted the other person's shoulder and spoke gently in his unique hoarse voice.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
It is hard to imagine that the legendary Orochimaru, a man who is close to the top of Konoha, would have such a gentle side.
After hearing Orochimaru's words, Nara Suzaku relaxed and fell down exhausted.
Yakushi Nono, who had returned with Orochimaru, imdiately stepped forward to support the other person, and began to treat the injuries of the last two surviving Konoha ninjas as if no one was around.
Kaito grabbed the corner of Zabuza's clothes tightly, fearing that this guy would want to use his short sword to trim Orochimaru's nails.
It was not until then that Orochimaru slowly turned around, looked at the people from the Kirigakure Village, and spoke casually.
"As expected of the Blood Mist Village, these little guys are quite spirited."
As he spoke, Orochimaru stuck out his strange long tongue and licked his lips.
The three little ones did not dare to look back at Kushimaru's condition at this ti. They could only pray silently in their hearts that this Jonin of the Kirigakure Village, who was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsn, would be able to take up the responsibility and confront Orochimaru as soon as possible.
However, Kaito felt sowhat suspicious in his heart, not because of anything else, but because the intensity of the warning of 'Anticipation' in his mind suddenly weakened a lot.
How should I put it? It was even less intense than the sense of crisis that Kaito felt when he was walking on the side of the road in the comrcial street a while ago and a flower pot was about to fall from the building above.
Kaito felt that even if he did nothing and just stood there quietly, he would probably only suffer minor injuries.
'Is it that Orochimaru has no intention of dealing with us Genin? Or is there sothing wrong with my Anticipation Ability?'
Just when Kaito was confused but still had a glimr of hope.
"Boom~" x3
His two teammates and Blue fell to the ground without any warning.
Kaito found that he seed to be a step behind and cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Isn't it a bit late for to fall down now?"
Looking at the curious and amusent-filled expression of Orochimaru opposite him, Kaito wanted to slap himself twice.
He had thought too much before, fearing that there might be a mber of the Yamanaka clan among the living Konoha Jonin, so he had not lifted the 'Safeguard' jutsu.
Now that he had completely ignored Orochimaru's illusion attack, it seed a little too conspicuous.
"Interesting kid, do you have so special physique?"
As he spoke, Orochimaru walked slowly towards Kaito.
Just when Kaito was thinking whether he had a chance to use the "Steam Eruption" in front of Orochimaru, and even if he succeeded, whether he had a chance to escape.
Orochimaru, who seed to be walking casually, suddenly raised his hand towards Kaito.
Countless snakes of various shapes and colors erged from the opponent's sleeves and quickly shot towards Kaito.
