There was a bang.

But even so, at that moment, Orochimaru also noticed something strange.

“Who is it?!”

Immediately afterwards, there was another loud bang, and Orochimaru's calf exploded instantly, and a bullet went straight through his calf.

Exploded muscles and bones were scattered everywhere.

“Good shot!”

Chiba quickly put away the Barrett, then jumped out from his hiding place.

"As expected of Orochimaru, I was going to hit your thigh, but ended up hitting your calf! You almost dodged it!"

As one of the three legendary ninjas, Orochimaru is truly worthy of his reputation. At such a distance and when faced with a surprise attack, he was still able to respond to Barrett's attack.

If Orochimaru hadn't been injured, Barrett might not have been able to hit him.

Seeing Chiba appear, Orochimaru showed a bitter smile.

"Pursuers? I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly... But, you can't catch me with just one ANBU ninja!"

Orochimaru immediately formed hand seals and performed the spell.

"Shadow Snake Hand!"

In an instant, several winding white snake shadows shot out from Orochimaru's sleeves and attacked Chiba quickly.

"Wind Style: Wind Blade!"

Qianye gathered wind chakra in his palms and rotated them at high speed. The sharp wind blew and instantly cut off the flying white snake.

Afterwards, Qianye formed seals again at an extremely fast speed.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

A huge fireball with a diameter several times that of an ordinary fireball rushed towards Orochimaru. Seeing this scene, Orochimaru's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

Not daring to despise it, he responded quickly.

"Earth Escape - Earth Flow Wall!"

Orochimaru, who had lost most of his ability to move, pressed his hands on the ground. In the blink of an eye, a huge earth wall rose up in front of him, successfully blocking Chiba's fireball.

Seeing all this, Qianye's mouth curled up into a smile.

“How childish!”

He formed another wind escape seal.

"Wind Style: Wind Blade!"

Qianye condensed the wind blade in his hand, then removed the [Nitrogen Armor] and transformed it into [Oxygen Armor], and integrated them all into the wind blade.

"Take this, Orochimaru!"

He threw the wind blade made of oxygen hard at the fireball that had been launched earlier.

At the moment the two touched, the already huge fireball suddenly rose into the sky, and its volume instantly expanded more than ten times, directly submerging Orochimaru.

"This is the ninjutsu that combines fire jutsu and wind jutsu!"

Orochimaru escaped from the sea of ​​fire with difficulty, his skin having been severely burned.

At this moment, Qianye had been waiting outside for a long time.

"Konoha Great Cyclone!"

Chiba kicked Orochimaru in the face as he just emerged from the sea of ​​fire, but the next moment, Chiba felt like he kicked a ball.

Orochimaru smiled slightly, twisted his body like a snake, and quickly distanced himself from Chiba.

On Chiba's side, he was tightly bound by a huge white object.

"The evil snake is winding! Explode!"

Orochimaru made a seal and snorted coldly, then the white snake that was wrapped around Chiba suddenly exploded.

The smoke and dust completely engulfed Qianye's figure.

Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your combined ninjutsu and skills are good, but your experience is obviously insufficient! You have been entangled by an Anbu ninja for so long. You can't waste chakra like this. You must leave the Land of Fire immediately!"

Orochimaru's body gradually returned to its original state. His abdomen was seriously injured and his calf was pierced, so his movements became quite inconvenient.

Just as Orochimaru was preparing to evacuate, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the smoke and dust.

The whirlwind rolled up clouds of dust, revealing Chiba's figure.

I saw a black chakra ball appeared in his right hand.

"Big Rasengan Rinyu!"

Chiba seized the opportunity of Orochimaru's negligence and threw the chakra ball out.

The familiar breath made Orochimaru's pupils shrink sharply.

"This ninjutsu...you were at that time-"

I didn't have time to be surprised. If it was the ninjutsu from that time, I definitely wouldn't be able to withstand this blow now...

Orochimaru immediately bit his fingers and pressed them hard on the ground.

"The art of summoning spirits, a Rashomon!"

In an instant, a huge and heavy portal appeared in front of Orochimaru.

At this time, Chiba's large Rasengan wheel fell rapidly and collided with the door.

There was another loud bang, and the huge Rashomon disappeared without a trace in the explosion.

The shocking explosion echoed throughout the forest.

"What a powerful ninjutsu, it destroyed my Rashomon with just one strike!"

The power of the ninjutsu displayed by Chiba this time was far greater than that in the last mock test, which meant that Chiba did not give his all in that test.

"On the contrary, your Rashomon, with only one layer, can resist my large Rasengan!"

This is not surprising. After all, Chiba is still young. When he grows up, let alone the first level of Rashomon, even the third level will not be able to block his Rasengan Rinnegan.

Chiba slowly walked towards Orochimaru and took off his mask in the storm caused by the explosion.

Looking at this familiar and young face, Orochimaru covered his wound and revealed a miserable smile.

"It is you, but you can't catch me with your current ability!"

"This statement should be made by you who is not injured! The explosion just now... will definitely attract all the Anbu ninjas who are looking for you. Even if I can't catch you, I can delay them until they all get here!"

Orochimaru did not respond to this, but stood up on one foot shakily.

"Tell me, what are your conditions!"

“Ah!? You know!?”

"You've been talking so much nonsense for so long, isn't this the result you want!?"

Chiba smiled. It was indeed a pleasant experience to communicate with smart people.

"Give me the cells of Hashirama in your hand and your research materials in Konoha, and I will let you go!"

"Ah!? What do you want Hashirama's cells for--!?"

“It’s none of your business, just nod or shake your head!”

After hearing this, Orochimaru shrugged his shoulders.

“What other choice do I have!?”

"You're very smart. You won't need those things anyway... Isn't it better to use them to save your life?"

Chiba said with a smile.

"It's been a long time since I met an opponent like you. Talent, strength, wisdom, and decisiveness are all concentrated in one person!"

Orochimaru couldn't help but admire.

"I never thought I would lose to a six-year-old!"

"Don't flatter me. I know how much I weigh. If you weren't injured, I wouldn't have taken the risk!"

Chiba did not dare to underestimate Orochimaru. After all, he was one of the legendary three ninjas. Facing such an Orochimaru, the danger level was far greater than that of the tailed beasts.

Chiba would never have done this if Orochimaru hadn't been seriously injured.

"Then take it out, time is running out--"

After hearing this, Orochimaru took out a scroll from his arms, handed it to Chiba, and continued.

"This is the location and information of all my bases. It contains what you need. The cells of the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, are in the first base!"

Chiba glanced at Orochimaru warily, then carefully opened the scroll.

"Don't be so cautious. I won't joke with my life—"

Chiba checked the scroll and put it away after making sure there was no problem.

"That's better! We'll have a happy cooperation this time! You'd better run away quickly... The Anbu will be here soon!"

After saying this, Chiba disappeared in front of Orochimaru with the scroll.

Looking at Chiba's departing back, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly and revealed a smile.

"What an enviable talent... Uchiha Chiba."

After saying these envious words, Orochimaru dragged his bruised and battered body into the cave.

Soon after, a large number of Anbu ninjas swarmed towards the explosion site, but when they arrived they only found a scene of a battle.

And Orochimaru had long since disappeared without a trace.

The Anbu team searched until nightfall but still could not find any clues about Orochimaru, so the matter had to be put on hold temporarily.

The final result was that Orochimaru successfully escaped.

And on the next night.

Chiba sneaked into the marked base provided by Orochimaru alone.

Orochimaru has dozens of bases, which contain a large number of human experimental research results and test questions conducted by Orochimaru.

As Chiba traveled along the road, he witnessed countless dark secrets beneath Konoha.

There were experiments using babies to conduct Wood Release research, research on immortality and reincarnation, and even research involving the Sharingan.

Although Chiba had experience in clinical testing when conducting biological experiments on Earth in his previous life.

But this cruel method of directly experimenting on human bodies or even babies still makes Qianye feel a little nauseous!

As a scientific researcher, Chiba respects Orochimaru's curiosity about unknown things, but he looks down on the other party's behavior.

After bypassing those cruel experimental subjects and materials, Chiba looted almost all the research materials in Orochimaru's base.

However, since most of the data points had been abandoned by Orochimaru, no valuable gains were obtained. However, in the bases that were still in use, a lot of research data that Orochimaru had not taken away was still found.

At the same time, Chiba also obtained what he wanted most - Hashirama Senju's cells.

Chiba belongs to the Uchiha clan and has the capital to open the most powerful eye technique, the Rinnegan, but to open the Rinnegan, the power of the Senju clan is indispensable.

However, even though he now has Hashirama's cells, Chiba doesn't dare to act rashly, because so far, no ninja who has transplanted Hashirama's cells seems to have had any good results.

Qianye didn't want to take this risk, nor did he dare to take this risk. He would not do this unless he was 100% certain.

He would never take the risk unless it was absolutely necessary.

Therefore, while using Orochimaru's research results, Chiba also used the knowledge from his previous life to carry out his own research.

Of course, Chiba did not let go of those large-scale lethal weapons. Finally, after collecting all the materials, he made that extremely dangerous item.

At this time, a local war broke out between Konoha and Kumogakure.

Since the Third World War, Kumogakure has not been in favor of peace, and only symbolically stationed troops on the border of Konoha not long ago.

But after the Anbu eliminated these garrisons, the Hidden Cloud Clan became even more aggressive, and now it has even escalated into a small local war.

At the same time, it is not only the Kumogakure that threatens Konoha, but also the Kirigakure, which has always been eyeing Konoha covetously.

At the end of the Third War, Kirigakure had planned to use Harano Rin to send the Three-Tails into Konoha in order to destroy Konoha from within.

However, in the end, Kakashi killed Hara Norin with his own hands, which not only prevented the conspiracy but also caused Kakashi to fall into depression.

Now that Konoha and Kumogakure are at war, Kirigakure is becoming more and more aggressive, not only doing some small tricks, but also making it impossible to obtain any intelligence in the closed village.

It was under such circumstances that Chiba received a confidential mission.

Chiba came to the door of the Hokage's office building and knocked.

"Come in!"

After entering, Chiba discovered that there were two other people in the office.
