Chapter 42 Orochimaru: Ah! Things are getting interesting. (Ch 42)

Orochimaru recalled that he seemed to have just said that he wanted to go with Yue Yan to deal with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, but why was he looking at him like this, with a hint of pity in his eyes.

“Yue Yanjun, is there any problem?”

Hearing this, Yue Yan shook his head.

“fine.”

Seeing that Yue Yan didn’t want to talk, Orochimaru didn’t ask and began to discuss today’s experimental results with Yue Yan.

And so, two days passed.

That night, Might Guy and Ran, the future lecherous teacher Ebisu, and the future Chunin Exam examiner Genma Shiranui formed a four-person team to go on patrol.

The location they were going to patrol this time was relatively close to the Water Kingdom, but since nothing had happened in the previous two days, Might Guy and his companions looked very relaxed, chatting and laughing along the way.

As for Xiaolan, since only Yue Yan could understand what he said, she did not join in their conversation.

Just when they were moving to a certain area, Xiaolan, who had a keen sense of smell, suddenly smelled seven unfamiliar scents. This made him alert and he reminded Might Guy and the others.

Although Might Guy and the others didn’t notice anything, they still trusted Xiaolan. They all stopped and looked around vigilantly.

Before they had to wait long, a laugh reached their ears.

“I didn’t expect that this time there were only three little ghosts and a spirit beast. It seems that our luck is not very good. We didn’t encounter any big fish.”

Muri Jinpachi carried the explosive sword Feimo and looked at Xiaolan and the others jokingly.

“I think we are very lucky. Today’s task has become very easy.”

Kurishai Kushimaru, who was wearing a mask of the Mist Ninja Anbu, retorted, and then cast his undisguised malice towards Xiaolan and the others.

“What I like most is to torture and kill the weak.”

Hearing this, Biwa Juuzou, who had the beheading sword stuck in the bottom, couldn’t help but roll his eyes with an expression of disgust. After all, compared to attacking the weak, he prefers to fight against the strong.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen were chatting as if no one was around, completely ignoring Xiaolan and the others.

Xiaolan, who used the power of waves to sense that everyone on the opposite side was very strong, broke out in a cold sweat. She waved her hand, signaling Might Guy and the others to run away quickly while the other party’s attention was not on her and others.

Might Guy and his friends, who also realized that the other party was not easy to deal with, did not hesitate and turned around and ran towards the front line of Konoha.

Seeing this scene, Kurishan Kushimaru licked the corner of his mouth hidden under the mask. The more the prey struggled and resisted, the more interesting their despair would be when they were killed.

Afterwards, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen also began to move, following behind Xiaolan and the others at a distance that was not too far or too close.

Xiaolan and Might Guy were fine. As experts in physical skills, they still had plenty of physical strength. But Ebisu and Genma Shiranui, who were running at full speed, were now panting heavily. They felt a burning sensation in their lungs, and even their mouths were filled with the rusty taste of blood.

Although they were very close to the Konoha front line, it was clear that the enemy would not give them any chance to advance further.

Xiaolan, aware of this, began to make hand seals, intending to use reverse spiritualism to summon Yue Yan.

However, Xiaolan’s claws were not suitable for making seals, and she had never practiced it before. In order to avoid making mistakes, she made the seals very slowly.

But at this moment, a cold light, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, rapidly attacked Xiaolan’s head.

Seeing this, Xiaolan could only give up forming hand seals and dodge the attack by turning sideways.

“That’s a good reaction.”

Kurishan Kushimaru swung his arm, and the steel wire with the long knife and suture needle connected to it was taken back into his hand.

At this time, Hei Chu Lei Ya looked at Xiao Lan greedily.

“This spiritual beast is great. It’s mine. I’m going to peel off its skin later. I should be able to make a piece of clothing.”

Hearing this, the other Seven Ninja Swordsmen shrugged their shoulders, indicating that they didn’t care.

Apart from Biwa Juzo who didn’t want to attack the weak and Xiguashan Pufferfish who was the captain, there was also Tonggusa Yabaito, Kurishi Kushimaru, Kurochu Raiga and an unknown Mist Ninja holding two swords, Tail Tai.

Seeing that the prey had been distributed, Hei Chu Lei Ya grinned ferociously and rushed towards Xiao Lan, waving Lei Dao Ya.

Seeing this, Xiaolan did not dare to be careless. She gathered wave missiles with her hands and bombarded them at Hei Chu Lei Ya.

When Kurocho Raiga felt the attack, he gathered his chakra onto Raidaoga and released two thick lightning bolts. The wave missile exploded in mid-air, and then rushed towards Xiaolan with undiminished momentum.

Although Xiaolan’s strength increased dramatically after evolving into Lucario, the time was too short. Xiaolan’s strength was only enough to deal with an ordinary jonin. Facing Kuroko Raiga, who was considered an elite jonin in even the cruelest Mist Village, she could only be suppressed and beaten.

Fortunately, Xiaolan had often practiced with Yue Yan before, so she was very familiar with various lightning escape techniques. Even though the moves were different, she could barely dodge them.

Seeing that ninjutsu was of little use to Xiaolan, Hei Chue Raiga turned to attaching dazzling blue lightning to Rai Dao Ya and fought Xiaolan in close combat.

Although Xiaolan is known for her physical skills, Kuroko Raiga’s skills were also honed through life and death. In terms of physical skills alone, Xiaolan may be able to fight on par with Kuroko Raiga, but the bonus that Raiga brings to him is too great.

It can even be said that half of Black Hoe Lei Ya’s strength lies in Lei Dao Ya.

Although their physical skills were equally matched, the lightning escape technique that Kurochu Raiga used from time to time still caused a lot of damage to Xiaolan.

However, compared to the other three who dealt with Might Guy and the others in a playful manner, Raiga was much more serious when facing Xiaolan, so the battle here was the loudest.

The Xiguashan Puffer Ghost who was watching the battle from behind was a little dissatisfied. After all, they were now very close to Konoha’s front-line camp. Maybe some perception-type ninjas would notice the movement here and come to reinforce.

However, he thought that there would be no problem as long as Orochimaru, the front-line commander, did not come in person, so he was merely dissatisfied.

“Hey, what’s the point of this kind of battle?”

Biwa Juzo, who was leaning on the beheading sword, couldn’t help but complain.

Just at this moment, Might Guy, with green aura surging all over his body, arrived here.

When the Seven Ninja Swordsmen saw the aura emanating from Might Guy, they all stopped and retreated to the rear out of caution.

“Huh? Finally, a decent opponent has arrived.”

Biwa Juzo, who had been playing it down, now became a little interested and stared at Might Dai with burning eyes.

“Dad!”

When Kai saw Might Dai, he was shocked. He didn’t understand why he, a mere Genin, was here.

Ebisu and Genma Shiranui were happy to see support, but when they saw it was Kai’s father, they despaired again.

Matt Dai sighed when he saw that his son was fine.

“I heard the sound of fighting coming from the direction of the patrol. Fortunately, I opened the six doors and caught up with them.”

“Dad! Get out of here right now! If you attack, it will only cause more casualties.”

Hearing Might Guy’s anxious cry, Might Guy just spoke softly.

“Kaiyo! I’ll buy you some time.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. We are facing the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Dad, you have no chance of winning.”

Hearing this, Matt Dai just smiled and gave a thumbs up.

“Kaiyo! Youth will not retreat. Behind me are you, my beloved ones. Therefore, this is my last youth.”

“Dad…”

Might Guy’s words began to choke, tears welling up in his eyes, he had realized what his father was going to do.

However, before Akai could say anything, Xiaolan, who had just received the seal, slapped the ground with her palm.

As a cloud of smoke rose, Yue Yan appeared here holding Orochimaru.

This scene happened so suddenly that no one present noticed it.

However, Yue Yan was not in the mood to care about these things. He hurried to Xiaolan and looked at the wounds on her body. Yue Yan’s murderous aura emanated from her involuntarily.

The murderous aura was so strong that it was almost the same as when Orochimaru tested Yue Yan before.

Ebisu felt a difficulty breathing. He knew Yue Yan before, but he didn’t expect that Yue Yan’s murderous aura would be so strong.

Suddenly he thought of something, his eyes turned and he spoke.

“Yue Yan, the guy with the two knives over there said he wanted to peel off Xiaolan’s skin and make it into clothes.”

Hearing this, Orochimaru, who already knew a little about Yue Yan’s personality, had a playful expression.

“Ooooh! This is getting interesting.”
