Konoha's Clow Magician

After sending Orochimaru away, Senju Hideki stood on the dense tree crown and meditated.

I'm in trouble...

Since he decided to stay in Konoha, his identity as a disciple of Orochimaru must be kept clean.

Originally, in his understanding, although Kakashi was already a jounin of Konoha, he was still inferior to a ninja of Orochimaru's level. However, with Kakashi's character, he would not give up.

He planned to take advantage of this and rescue Kakashi when he was at a disadvantage or even in danger of his life. It would be best if he could be seriously injured instead of him.

In this way, no matter whether he followed Kakashi intentionally or unintentionally, it was a fact that he saved the other party.

Human beings always believe what they see before their eyes!

Kakashi is the disciple of the Fourth Hokage and the son of Sakumo Hatake. He also had great military exploits in the Third Ninja War. With Kakashi endorsing him, even if there are some doubts, they can be ignored.

But what he never expected was that Orochimaru would be tricked by the Third Generation and directly seriously injured. Under the circumstances at that time, if he took action again, he might really leave Orochimaru in Konoha.

It was not in Orochimaru's interest to remain in Konoha, dead or alive.

How to gain Kakashi's trust now?

Taking Orochimaru to another performance?

From Kakashi's perspective, Orochimaru was seriously injured when he left, and now he is standing with you Senju Hideki intact.

Kakashi wouldn't ask nonsense like 'Are you a traitor?', he would probably take action directly.

After thinking for a moment, Senju Hideki had another idea.

Since he can't save others, let others save him, but then the risk will be beyond his control.

But he was not an indecisive person. He first sounded Konoha's signal bomb, and then

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Hidden Shadow Snake Hand!"

"Tree Escape·Tree Prison!"

"Destroy the snakes!"

……

Before the signal flare came from a distance, Kakashi was about to return to the Anbu to resume his life. This interception mission could be said to be a complete failure.

First, he underestimated Orochimaru's personal strength. If the opponent hadn't been injured by the detonating talisman in Orochimaru's mouth, he might have died in Orochimaru's hands.

This is not the most embarrassing thing. He is not afraid of death and even looks forward to dying in the mission. He looks forward to seeing Obito and Lin again in that world and saying "sorry" to them.

But being overwhelmed by Orochimaru's momentum, feeling fearful, and even finding it difficult to take action was something he couldn't accept.

"Next time, I will definitely not be timid again." Kakashi frowned, his eyes becoming firmer.

"boom……"

"Who sent the signal flare? Was it...anbu? In this direction...could it be Orochimaru?"

Kakashi hesitated for a moment, but in the end he did not resist the idea of ​​fighting Orochimaru again.

"The art of psychic!"

Eight ninja dogs of different shapes appeared in front of Kakashi. The leader was a brown-skinned and black-eared one, wearing a Konoha forehead protector. He frowned and said, "What's the matter, Kakashi?"

Kakashi nodded silently, "Parker, I need you to go to the ANBU to report information to the third generation. Orochimaru has been seriously injured. The other ninja dogs will track Orochimaru's scent together."

Parker nodded, frowning even further, "It's hard to find the smell of snakes, because they don't sweat at all."

"It doesn't matter. Let's get to the place where the flare was launched first. There should be some clues there." After saying that, Kakashi jumped up in the direction of the flare explosion, followed by seven ninja dogs behind him.

……

When Kakashi arrived at his destination, two other ANBU members followed him.

There are about 70 people in Konoha Anbu. From top to bottom, there are two captains and deputy captains. They have four teams, each team has about 17 people each, and four squads.

The ANBU members who rushed to the scene at this time were Haru from the second team and her team leader Xiang.

Haru, this member Kakashi is not familiar with, and seems to have joined recently, but this elephant squad leader is an experienced ninja, and his analytical ability is still particularly outstanding even in the ANBU.

After confirming each other's identities, the two parties walked toward the explosion site together.

Kakashi saw Senju Hideki lying in the rubble at a glance, and was shocked, but had no intention of immediately stepping forward to check.

According to the traces at the scene, Senju Hideki probably had a conflict with Orochimaru. No matter whether he was dead or alive, if he rashly stepped forward, he might trigger the trap set by Orochimaru.

Using corpses to trap the enemy is a common practice on the battlefield. Facing a ninja of Orochimaru's level, any negligence may be fatal. He can't forget how he failed before.

Captain Xiang had the same idea as him. The three of them carefully checked the ground and surrounding trees. After confirming that there were no traps, Haru immediately stepped forward, checked Senju Hideki's vital signs on the ground, and said, "He's still alive, but about the same." about to die."

Kakashi couldn't help but clenched his fists, "Is there any hope?"

Qing shook her head, "I can only try my best. He lost too much blood and was poisoned by snake venom. If put on an ordinary person, he would be dead now. Do you know him?"

"His name is Hideki Senju, and he is a ninja at the same time as me." Kakashi stared closely at the movements of Haru's hands, and Obito's figure under the boulder seemed to flash before his eyes.

Do you want to watch your companions die before your eyes again?

"Is it the Thousand Hands clan? No wonder the vitality is so strong." Qing suddenly realized, her fingers flew, and her movements continued to speed up, but she still worked for a quarter of an hour before stopping.

Wiping the beads of sweat on her head, Qing breathed a long sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. I am alive, but I estimate that I will need to recuperate in the hospital bed for two to three months."

Kakashi's frown relaxed. At this time, Captain Xiang jumped down from the treetop and asked, "You are so bold at the same time, you actually followed Orochimaru alone."

"Following Orochimaru?!" For some reason, the scene of meeting Senju Hideki in the morning suddenly flashed through Kakashi's mind.

"Look here!" Captain Elephant jumped up with Kakashi, pointed to a branch, and said, "I don't know how long he has been following Orochimaru, but Orochimaru seems to have discovered that he was following him from the beginning. "

"But it wasn't until here that he suddenly started to attack. You see, this is Orochimaru's signature ninjutsu - the Hidden Shadow Snake Hand."

"And your contemporaries used...wood escape here? This is the wood escape and wooden prison technique."

I have new abilities and I want to compete with you.

Senju Hideki's words suddenly appeared in his mind in the morning, is this your new ability? It is indeed very powerful, Kakashi murmured.

"The Thousand Hands clan has a new Wood Release. This news needs to be informed to the third generation as soon as possible." Captain Xiang's originally calm tone became excited.

Wood Release has a unique status in the minds of most Konoha ninjas. It is the symbol of the first Hokage.

"Don't be anxious, captain. Next, why didn't Orochimaru kidnap Shu-kun? With his character, Shu-kun should not be spared." Kakashi was also extremely surprised that Senju Hideki awakened Wood Release, but at this time But still remain calm.

"Yes... according to the traces, he released the Wooden Prison Technique, but was interrupted by Orochimaru before he was halfway through the release. How could it be possible? It was as if Orochimaru had anticipated his ninjutsu." Captain Xiang stared at him The traces and tone are inexplicable.

"I heard Mr. Shu say that he is a disciple of Orochimaru." Kakashi thought for a while and said.

"Then it makes sense that Orochimaru knows that Hideki Senju possesses Wooden, but wouldn't he be unaware of the value of Wooden ninja? Doesn't Orochimaru even have time to clean up the body?"

"Either Orochimaru is so injured that he has to give up now, or"

Captain Xiang paused and said slowly,

"Either there is something wrong with Senju Hideki's Wood Release."
