Konoha Meat Bullet Ninja Technique

A long and narrow blade with four round holes, covered with strong wind-attribute chakra, chased straight towards the direction where Orochimaru was dodging, and any trees blocking it were easily penetrated.

"Asuma!" Kurenai Yuhi recognized this strange-shaped ninja tool instantly.

Chakra Knife-Shinichimonji is a pair of national treasure-level ninja tools made entirely of rare chakra metal. It can be infused with a large amount of chakra and increase it to a certain extent. It is sharp enough to cut through iron as well as mud, and after being infused with chakra, it can easily penetrate trees and break boulders.

The one who currently holds the Shinichi script is none other than Sarutobi Asuma, the biological son of the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen of Konoha Village.

But no matter how excellent the performance of Chakra Knife-Shinichimonji is, facing an opponent like Cold Lord Orochimaru, a pure ninja tool still cannot bring enough advantages.

"Destroy the snakes." Dozens of venomous snakes, large and small, flew out of Orochimaru's sleeves and swarmed in all directions at the same time.

A layer of light blue wind-attribute chakra emerged from Asuma Sarutobi's arm who had just arrived, and the translucent wind-attribute chakra blade on the other Shinichiji's arm instantly increased to one meter.

Under the urging of the Wind Release Chakra, Sarutobi Asuma cut a death net in front of him. All the poisonous snakes that rushed towards this knife net were stabbed by the violent airflow, and no one was spared.

"Long time no see, Asuma." Orochimaru stood firm on another tree crown and just said hello when a four-edged iron claw suddenly appeared from his chest.

Orochimaru seemed unaware and had no intention of looking back. The wound, which did not shed a drop of blood, had clearly foreshadowed what would follow. The earth clone quickly solidified and faded, firmly stuck in the four-edged iron claw. Two big snakes showed their ferocious fangs from under the tree, opening their mouths and biting the earth clone's back.

"Big Snake Flow - Fierce Snake Steps."

A young man with messy hair jumped out from behind Orochimaru Earth's clone, with a faint scar under the corner of his right eye. At this time, the young man's eyes were extremely angry. The four-edged iron claw was his most convenient weapon, and it was mixed with a lot of chakra metal at a large price.

Even if it is not as good as the Shinichi script used by Sarutobi Asuma, it is already a rare good thing.

"Five Elements Seal..." The man formed a seal with his hands, but he was only halfway through the seal. A golden translucent fist suddenly appeared, from top to bottom, almost close to the man's face and hit it, biting the man's back. The tiny venomous snake on the back of the man's neck exploded on the spot.

The man's back was instantly wet with cold sweat, and he quickly jumped to the side of Sarutobi Asuma and a bald monk.

"It's really unlucky. As a citizen of the Land of Fire, the daimyo still needs to be given face." Orochimaru's voice came from another direction. His hoarse voice is extremely magnetic, and his unique melancholy temperament makes people unconsciously close their mouths and listen to every word he speaks.

Even Sarutobi Asuma, the son of the Sandaime Hokage, faced the same situation when facing his father's proud disciple.

"Orochimaru, the old man misses you so much." Yuan Fei Asma held the Shinichimonji with one hand, and the wind attribute chakra flowed rapidly on the blade.

Orochimaru chuckled when he heard this: "Did you think that even the children who ran away from home would know about it?"

Sarutobi Asuma suddenly fell silent.

Seeing Sarutobi Asuma's reaction, Orochimaru couldn't help but shook his head slightly: "Forget it, six of the twelve warriors came in one go. It's time for a rebellious ninja like me to tuck my tail between my legs."

"Don't go!" Asuma Sarutobi threw out four shurikens, but Orochimaru's figure suddenly scattered into dozens of small snakes. While avoiding the shurikens, they scattered into the dense jungle and disappeared.

Yuhi Hong and Uazuki Yugan spread their senses at the same time, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief until it was confirmed that Orochimaru had really left.

People who have never fought against Orochimaru cannot understand the powerful feeling of oppression. The coldness that seems to be a poisonous snake coiling around the heart, and the powerlessness that makes every move calculated by the opponent, will drag the person's spirit into the abyss little by little.

Even though we had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, we were still at a disadvantage, and in the end we could only allow Orochimaru to retreat calmly.

"Are you okay? Kurenai!" Sarutobi Asuma asked with concern.

The female ninja with black hair and red eyes, her body covered with magic strips, put away her kunai and showed a forced smile to Sarutobi Asuma: "It seems that I, a special jounin who has been promoted beyond the norm, am a little embarrassed."

Being countered by Orochimaru's genjutsu caused Yuhi Kurenai, who had just relied on genjutsu to be promoted to special jounin, to feel a strong sense of frustration.

"After all, Orochimaru is the old man's most outstanding disciple. He can fight even against the shadows of each village. It's a good result that we can repel him." Asuma Sarutobi comforted him.

"Hmph, the Hokage's disciples are very good, but the Hokage's son is not so good." The young man with wild hair proudly said with inappropriate provocation.

Sarutobi Asuma didn't bother to care at all, retrieved his Shinichimonji from the woods, and came to Uazuki Yuugao with Yuhi Kurenai.

"Hey!" The ignored young man wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the bald monk. He made a sound and walked away to avoid suspicion.

Next is the time that belongs to the Konoha Ninjas alone. Although they both belong to the Land of Fire, the Twelve Guardian Ninjas are the ninja troops directly under the daimyo and are not under the jurisdiction of the Konoha Ninja Village. Unless the daimyo gives orders, not even the twelve warriors can share information about the Konoha Ninja Village.

"Why are you here?" Sarutobi Asuma asked.

"As ordered." Uoyuki Xiyan took out the mission scroll and showed it to Asma.

Sarutobi Asuma briefly scanned the content on the mission scroll, and then nodded slightly. It was an ordinary defense change task. He had done this task himself back then, so it was no stranger to him.

Yuhi Kurenai looked at the border guards who had gathered again and Kurama Yakumo, who was protected by several children from Yu's squad, and apologized: "Sorry, I have implicated you this time."

Not knowing what politeness is, Uazuki Xiyan directly made a condition after Yuhihong apologized: "We need to go to the City of Fire to rest."

Even Sarutobi Asuma couldn't help but look at Uzuki Yugao twice due to his blunt attitude.

"You should know that the City of Fire will not allow organized troops to enter the city." Sarutobi Asuma reminded.

"I know." Mao Yuexi's expression did not change.

Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai looked at each other, not knowing how to continue the conversation.

"I can find an absolutely safe place for you to rest. Orochimaru's target is not you, so don't worry." In the end, Sarutobi Asuma agreed to provide some help for the sake of being a fellow Konoha friend.
