Undercurrent of Konoha

At this time, a "hissing" sound suddenly sounded above the head, and then a strong fishy smell penetrated into the nostrils.

Heiji suddenly raised his head and saw a huge python hanging on the treetop above his head. Its yellow-green eyes the size of copper bells glowed with a faint cold light.

"hiss--!"

The huge snake's mouth opened instantly, and the white snake teeth were a foot long.

An extremely strong suction force hit his face, like a hurricane that swept Heiji into the air, and he was about to become a snack for the python.

Heiji waved his hand and scattered dozens of shurikens, all of which hit the python's head.

The python was very brave, and the slight trauma it received only aroused its ferocity.

Heiji was in mid-air when he suddenly felt that the suction force on his body had more than doubled. He could no longer stop himself and flew straight towards the python's huge mouth.

Taking a deep breath, Heiji concentrated all the chakra in his meridians on his two palms.

"Ka-cha!"

"Ka-cha!"

With two consecutive crisp sounds, two snake fangs that were about a foot long were broken into two pieces by Heiji's bare hands. It didn't look much more difficult than breaking two dead branches.

A large amount of scarlet blood spurted out from the python's mouth. Heiji held his breath, bent his legs slightly, and kicked the snake's mouth hard. He heard a muffled "pop" sound, and his whole body actually penetrated the python's Tianling Cap and jumped. came out and landed steadily on the tree trunk.

The python fell to the ground helplessly and instantly turned into an immobile corpse.

"Sure enough, there were two moments...were you eroding my curse seal..."

The python's back slowly opened, and a man with black hair hanging down his shoulders and a pale face crawled out.

A chill instantly hit Heiji's heart, and his newly relaxed mood immediately became tense to the extreme.

Why would this man... come back again and again?

Orochimaru staggered towards Uchiha Sasuke, his whole body squirming like a snake.

Although he did not launch any offensive, the powerful murderous aura emanating from Orochimaru already made everyone present feel terrified.

Haruno Sakura was so frightened that she sat next to Sasuke like a wooden man.

Hinata Hinata and Inuzuka Kiba stood there stunned, unable to move even a little finger.

Akamaru also curled up tightly into a ball, shivering on Inuzuka Kiba's head.

A cold light flashed in his slender eyes, and Orochimaru could clearly see that the three tadpole curse marks on Sasuke's neck had undergone subtle changes.

The edges of the curse seal have been slightly blurred.

Orochimaru can be sure that this is by no means a sealing technique, but an erosion of the curse seal using the characteristics of his own chakra.

As long as time is given, this kind of chakra that is enough to corrode the curse seal will completely remove the curse seal you cast, and not even a little residue will be left.

"Who...are you...what are the attributes of your chakra..."

Orochimaru turned around slowly and looked directly at Heiji with a pair of cold eyes.

Heiji slowly closed his eyes.

At this moment, his heart was beating fast, his mind was buzzing, his hands and feet had begun to go numb, and his whole body was twitching as if there was electricity.

No matter what, he had to force himself to calm down.

Otherwise, the situation of narrow escape will become no chance of death...

After a while, the chakra in the meridians gradually filled up, and the recovery speed was astonishingly fast.

His eyes suddenly opened, and Heiji instantly increased the flow of chakra in his meridians to more than twice the normal speed.

Just like Hinata Hanabi used a soft fist to seal the acupuncture points before, Heiji used the same method to increase the chakra flow rate, which actually caused most of the numbness in his hands and feet to disappear in an instant.

At this moment, Orochimaru's figure suddenly disappeared on the spot.

A chill ran down his spine, and Heiji lowered his body and threw himself forward with all his might.

There was a soft "chi" sound, and a foot-long gash was cut open on the coat on the back by a sharp blade, and blood instantly poured out of the white and delicate skin.

"Your blood...has a special smell..."

Orochimaru stretched out his long tongue and licked the bright red blood on the Kusanagi sword. He looked calm on the surface, but the shock in his heart could not be greater.

Using the Kusanagi sword and attacking from behind, Orochimaru thought he could definitely kill him with one strike.

Not far away, one could vaguely sense that seven extremely powerful ninjas were coming here at full speed.

Two teams of Konoha ANBU, plus one special jounin.

Although Orochimaru has sufficient self-confidence, there is no need to be afraid of these six or seven reinforcements of Konoha ninja.

However, the purpose of these ninjas coming here was definitely not to capture or kill Orochimaru.

Their only purpose was to delay Orochimaru's actions as much as possible, waiting for the arrival of the big boss of Konoha Village with Kage-level strength.

"Can't delay any longer..."

Orochimaru formed a seal with one hand, and his finger suddenly pointed at Heiji.

"The Kusanagi Sword - Sora no Taito!"

The Kusanagi sword flew out of Orochimaru's hand and penetrated Heiji's abdomen like lightning, leaving no room for reaction.

"Cough...cough..."

Spitting out a large mouthful of blood, Heiji slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and stood tremblingly, looking like he might fall to the ground at any time.

However, Heiji did not fall down, but stood taller and taller than before.

The narrow golden pupils shrank instantly, Orochimaru looked at Heiji carefully, and the expression on his face became a little unpredictable.

"Interesting...interesting...I seem to be becoming more and more interested in your chakra attributes..."

The wound on Heiji's back has completely healed, and the wound on his lower abdomen pierced by the Kusanagi sword is also healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Heiji took a strong breath, gathered all the chakra in the meridians to the wound location, and tried his best to heal the injuries on his body.

Even if he can still stand there at this moment, Heiji has reached the end of his strength, and the speed of wound healing is getting slower and slower.

As long as Orochimaru launches another fatal attack, Heiji's life will really not be saved.

Orochimaru obviously noticed this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he waved his fingers again.

The Kusanagi sword suddenly changed direction in the air, and this time it went straight to the vital part of Heiji's neck!

"Bagua Kongzhang——!"

The grass pheasant sword was struck horizontally by a palm wind and stayed in the air for a moment.

At the same time, Heiji hurriedly dodged sideways, and the Kusanagi sword slashed across his shoulder, bringing out a long string of blood beads, forming a horrifying wound that was deep enough to show the bone.

I saw a boy with white eyes standing not far away, exuding a fierce aura, and the pressure he caused far exceeded that of an ordinary chuunin.

"There are more and more pestering little mice... Hee hee... You are lucky this time..."

The nearest ANBU ninja was less than 500 meters away, and Orochimaru knew that once he was entangled by the ANBU, it would not be so easy to escape.
