Chapter 206 Red Beans Deliver Vegetables, Naruto and Sasuke Win Without lifting a finger.
"Croak... Croak croak..."
As dusk fell, a few crows cawed across the night sky, and a shapely figure, seemingly oblivious to snakes, insects, and wild beasts, nimbly darted through the winding woods.
"It's right ahead, I can feel it! That chakra I'll never forget." Feeling the stinging pain of the cursed seal again, Anko resolutely accelerated with all her might.
As she burst forth with chakra and swiftly passed through a forest, a familiar figure came into Anko's view. "It really is you, Orochimaru."
"Red Bean, it's been a long time..." Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice, looking at his former disciple who was panting and looking hostile.
"Why? Why would someone like you, a super dangerous S-rank character wanted by the village, appear here? This is just a regular Chunin Exam, what are you doing here?" Looking at that familiar face, Anko asked sharply.
"What? Do you think I'd answer such a stupid question?" Orochimaru shook his head and sighed, looking disappointed. "It seems you still haven't grown up. No wonder you're still a special Jonin of Konoha after all these years. Compared to you, that boy named Mitarashi Ishikawa is the real genius."
"Ishikawa?" Anko was slightly taken aback, not expecting to hear Ishikawa's name mentioned by Orochimaru. Could it be that this guy suddenly returned to Konoha because of Ishikawa?
Or perhaps, to assassinate the Third Hokage?
"Damn it! I will never allow you to continue your rampage in Konoha! So today, even if it costs me my life, I will defeat you here!" Anko blinked, her eyes filled with determination, and with a wave of her hand, several long snakes burst forth from her sleeve. "Isn't this how you taught me before? Orochimaru-sensei!!"
"Hidden Shadow Snake Hands? You want to defeat me with the ninjutsu I taught you, Anko?" Orochimaru chuckled again at the long snake attack, and with a wave of his hand, he unleashed the same move with overwhelming force.
As the two snakes tangled and fiercely bit each other, Orochimaru calmly formed a hand seal once more.
hum! !
Just as Anko was about to rush forward and perish together with Orochimaru, her expression changed, and she clutched the cursed seal on her neck, large beads of sweat streaming down her face...
"Anko, I have no interest in continuing to play ninja games with you. So you'd better not interrupt this Chunin Exam and disturb my enjoyment of the wind. Otherwise, I might destroy Konoha!" Orochimaru warned Anko, who was kneeling down with a pale face, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.
His initial choice was indeed correct. Rather than letting this child wander with him and encounter danger, Anko was better suited to stay in Konoha and be an ordinary ninja.
"By the way, I've already left that child the same gift as you! But compared to him, your talent is far inferior! Because he is a genius ninja with Uchiha blood."
"Uchiha? Your goal is the Sharingan??" Hearing this, her eyes reddened and she looked furious, but her body was too weak to do anything but watch Orochimaru walk away.
Damn it, this physical condition could easily lead to trouble in the Death Forest, surrounded by ferocious beasts. She also needed to remind the Hokage that they had to be on guard against Orochimaru's appearance!
"Phew... I have to..." Just as Hongdou was trying to get up despite her weakness, she suddenly felt her body tighten and was picked up by the waist. Her expression changed and she turned her head.
"Ishikawa? What are you doing here?? Wait, why are your clothes..."
"Don't ask, let's get out of here first." Ignoring Hongdou's surprised expression, Ishikawa pulled her into his arms and quickly headed towards the tower, using the tree trunk as a springboard.
Well, he wasn't trying to take advantage of the situation; he was just trying to prevent his careless cousin from getting into danger.
Meanwhile, Sakura on the other side also slowly woke up.
Since there was no external threat, Karin did not let Naruto and Sasuke bite her to recover, but let them recover normally.
"You know what happened afterward! We're worried about leaving Naruto and Sasuke to guard them alone while they're unconscious, so we're planning to have both teams work together. Sakura, you don't have any objections, do you?" After a brief explanation, Karin looked at Sakura and extended an invitation.
Sakura naturally had no objections and nodded vigorously in agreement. With Karin and the others around, at least she wouldn't be helpless against surprise attacks from other teams!
"So, what scrolls did you get?" Karin nodded and took out two Books of Heaven and placed them in front of her.
They had received the Book of Heaven before, and the squad they defeated later also had the Book of Heaven.
“We are the Book of Earth. Great, now we have a pair!” Sakura didn’t hide anything and quickly pulled out a Book of Earth from Naruto’s ninja tool bag and handed it to Karin.
As for concerns about the other party taking it all for themselves, or a lack of trust?
Haha! What a joke. If Karin and the others wanted to collect scrolls, the scrolls in Naruto's bag wouldn't be here now.
Karin and the others wouldn't risk their lives to save them! If she can't even trust this, who can she trust?
“Very good, then you can take this set. Next, we only need one more Book of Earth.” Karin gave Sakura an approving look and handed her a set of Heaven and Earth Scrolls.
With Kagura's ability to see into the mind's eye, collecting scrolls was much easier for them than for Sakura and the others...
Karin glanced at Sakura, who seemed about to speak but hesitated, then suddenly smiled and waved her hand, "Our scroll is almost here, so don't be shy."
Sakura??
"Taro Jiro, about 100 meters away at seven o'clock." Just as Sakura was confused and bewildered, Karin suddenly turned around with a serious expression to remind her.
Having extensive experience in missions, Taro immediately understood, exchanged a glance, drew his sword, and vanished in a flash.
Seeing this, Karin simply smiled confidently and quickly formed hand seals. "Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique..."
In the blink of an eye, thick white fog suddenly billowed out from the trees within a 200-meter radius, obscuring the view.
"It's you??" The Sound Ninja trio, who had just approached and were preparing to launch a sneak attack from a hundred meters away, were completely dumbfounded. Just as they were about to retreat, they suddenly heard a faint sound and their expressions changed drastically.
Before the three could react, two familiar, sharp longswords were already at the necks of Tos and Sack. "Hand over the scroll. Or die!"
"It's you again!!" Upon hearing the unusually familiar voices, Tossack's face instantly turned ashen.
They were clearly tracking Uchiha Sasuke, so how did they end up running into these two nemesis?
"Here, don't hurt them." Jin Mang tossed out the Earth Scroll, showing no intention of actually doing anything.
If those two kill Tos and Sac, what will become of her? She'd better use the scroll to save her life first, and worry about the rest later!
"The Book of Earth." Tarojiro's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected to be so lucky; the scroll from the other party was exactly what they needed.
With a single blow to the back of Tossack's neck, he was knocked unconscious. The two of them immediately grabbed the scroll and made their escape. The whole sequence of actions was fluid and seamless.
Meanwhile, Sakura was stunned as she watched her two senior brothers retrieve the Book of Earth in less than a minute, and she almost turned to stone!
So I've collected both Heaven and Earth Scrolls already? This feels like a dream!
"Take turns on guard duty and rest. Once Naruto and Sasuke wake up, we'll go straight to the tower to hand in the mission." Sensing the Sound Ninja leaving quickly, Karin put away the scroll and gave the instructions with a smile.
Naruzuo in a coma? ?
