Konoha: Doing good deeds can make you stronger

Chapter 124 The Second Entrance

Marutani Koko ran several hundred meters in one fell swoop.

If Kakashi's analysis is not wrong, then the cautious Orochimaru will most likely set the entrance at a place far away.

The plain where the three of them are currently located is very large. To the west is a large forest where they came from, while to the east is an endless plain that can't be seen at a glance. It is the plain to the east.

"Entrance, entrance, where will it be?"

While rolling his eyeballs, Marutani Koko noticed all the unusual places around him.

At this time, more than ten hours had passed since the three of them officially left the village. The sun was gradually setting and the sky was getting darker. In such a dark environment, it became more difficult to find the second entrance and exit.

Time can't wait for the two to find out the result, it keeps passing, Marutani Hang wandered on the plain for a long time, but still didn't get any results, so he could only stop.

You can't look around like this anymore, it's just a waste of time if you go on like this.

What if I were Orochimaru?Where would I set the entrance?

As Konoha's number one "wanted criminal", when designing the secret base, Orochimaru's first priority must be the security of the secret base, so the entrance and exit must have a very high degree of concealment. The cave discovered before is so conspicuous. It can be seen a few kilometers away, so it is a different kind of existence.

In addition to concealment, Orochimaru must also consider the escape route after the base may be discovered, so there must be a safe enough distance between the two entrances and exits to buy him time to escape.

While thinking, Marutani Kou walked slowly.

It is known that the first entrance has been found on the plain, so the other entrance must be within the circle centered on the first cave.

The distance between the cave and the forest is neither too far nor too close. From the perspective of concealment, the dense forest is easier to hide the entrance and exit than the endless plain. From the perspective of the convenience of escaping, the dense forest is also easier to confuse the enemy. Sight, Orochimaru may even rely on the advantage of the forest to launch a counterattack.

So the second entrance and exit will most likely be in the forest.

Marutani Kou raised his head and looked in the direction of the forest.

Itachi is responsible for the position in the forest. I don't know if he has discovered anything new.

Coincidentally, just as Marutani Kou started chanting Itachi's name, the boy's familiar voice came from the direction of the forest.

Itachi suddenly appeared in front of Marutani Kou, but his expression was a little strange at this time.

"Marutani Kou, come here!"

"Okay!" Marutani Koko responded and ran over, "Did you find the entrance?!"

"Almost, it's just that there was a little accident."

"That's good, let's solve any problems." Marutani Kou patted Itachi's shoulder optimistically, turned his head and shouted at Kakashi who was still trapped in the cave, "Senior Kakashi, We'll get you out of here right away."

Although he had been trapped for a while, Kakashi did not panic at all. He even sat in a small space and began to study the sealing technique that trapped him. He only woke up when he heard Marutani Kou's voice.

"It's okay, you all pay attention to your own safety, if you really can't find it, you can go back to the village for help first."

"We will definitely get you out."

Marutani Koko followed Itachi back into the forest where he came from, and then turned left and right under the guidance of the other party. After a series of unrememberable operations, Itachi suddenly stopped in front of a huge old tree.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Marutani Koko blinked his eyes, he was still waiting for Itachi to lead the way.

"arrive."

"It's here?" Marutani Kou's eyes widened, and he pointed to the big tree in front of him with a look of shock, "You mean, this tree?"

Really?Are you kidding me?

Seeing Itachi nodded, Marutani Kou walked a few steps in the direction of the big tree in doubt, intending to see what the mystery of this tree is.

"careful!"

As a result, just as Marutani Kou tried to get closer, Itachi panicked to remind him. At the same time, Marutani Kou's fighting instinct also suddenly sounded the alarm, and the boy's body suddenly had a conditioned reflex, and he took a quick step back.

Also at the moment when Marutani Ko backed, the ordinary big tree in front of him suddenly opened its trunk outwards, and a figure rushed out quickly. Marutani Koko could see clearly that the opponent was still holding a handle in his hand. Kunai, the moonlight reflected on Kunai, shot into the boy's eyes, and then directly inserted into the position where Marutani Kou stood just now.

"Clam?"

Fortunately, he dodged a step just now, Marutani Kou was very close to the black shadow, and he could see the figure clearly, it was actually a boy!It doesn't look like Naruto is a few years older than Naruto.

The boy's clothes were very worn out, but traces of cleanliness could be clearly seen. Under the pale complexion was a frighteningly thin body, and those eyes full of hatred and anger were fixed on Marutani Kou's figure.

The boy held a kunai in his hand. After the sneak attack failed, he quickly turned around and retreated into the big tree. The trunk of the big tree was closed again, and there was no movement.

"Ah? What's the situation?" Marutani Kou was dumbfounded, and turned his head to look at Itachi questioningly.

Itachi shook his head with a very depressed expression.

"As you can see, I think this tree is the second entrance we are looking for, but the boy just now seems to be guarding here."

"Will it be Orochimaru's subordinate?"

"Impossible, I was also attacked by the other party when I approached this big tree for the first time, but I can tell that this boy has no foundation in physical arts, and he doesn't know ninjutsu either. Orochimaru wants to do this What are your men doing?"

Itachi had analyzed it a long time ago. If the opponent was Orochimaru's subordinate, he would have killed him a long time ago. How could he bring Marutani Kou over?
"That's not necessarily true," Marutani Kou curled his lips, "Maybe as a servant? Or as a potential stock or something for training."

"What are potential stocks?"

"Well, it's okay, you heard wrong."

It turned out that a few minutes ago, a ferret looking for a target in the forest found a very strange big tree. Although its appearance was not significantly different from other trees around it, the color of the leaves on the tree was a bit too bright. It's like a lotus flower that suddenly blooms in winter, no matter how realistic it is, it's still fake.

But just when Itachi was about to get closer to investigate clearly, just like when Marutani Kou had an accident just now, the boy suddenly jumped out of the tree trunk.

With Itachi's skill, he was naturally not injured, but looking at the boy who was obviously just an ordinary person, he didn't know how to deal with it.

"So it is."

Knowing the ins and outs, Marutani Kou nodded and began to think about the solution.

"In any case, we should have found the second entrance to the secret base of Orochimaru, otherwise there is no reason why this big tree is so strange. In addition, if this big tree can hide a boy perfectly, At least it shows that there is space inside."

"I think so too," Itachi nodded in agreement, "It's just this boy, I really don't know how to solve it, he should be about the same age as Sasuke."

"You can not."

Marutani Kou patted Itachi on the shoulder and smiled confidently.

"This kind of thing still has to let me do it."
