Travel through Konoha and open treasure chests

♂nbsp; Almost as soon as the thought fell, Bai Mingyu's actions suddenly accelerated.

While dodging, a brilliant flash of lightning spread out in his right hand, and then exploded quickly, forming a thick lightning blade. Bai Mingyu held it in his hand, and made a neat crosscut forward, slashing the opponent. The coming sea of ​​sand split into two.

Fine thunder elements continued to spread along the sand, and the sand that made up these sand seas quickly escaped Gaara's control and fell from mid-air.

Before the sand hit the ground, Bai Mingyu's figure had already rushed out.

In Gaara's sight, he only had time to see an afterimage, and the next moment he was bullied forward and received a heavy blow from the hand knife on his neck.

"you……"

Even with the protection of the sand armor, Gaara still felt like he was hit hard and fainted.

But soon, another violent consciousness rose up in the red-haired boy, taking over the dominance of Gaara's body. Temari and Kankuro were the first to feel this change, and their expressions changed wildly: "No, Gaara is going to...damn it, how could this happen? Stop him quickly!"

The crow puppet behind Kankuro broke through the outer bandage and flew towards Bai Mingyu.

Temari herself rushed over at extremely fast speeds, trying to snatch Gaara away.

Of course Bai Mingyu knew what was going on.

As an unstable one-tail jinchuriki, Gaara and Shukaku are actually in a state of one mind. The consciousness of the two coexists in Gaara's mind. The negative consciousness representing Shukaku is always trying to invade Gaara's. Consciousness, as long as Gaara falls into a deep sleep, Shukaku's consciousness will take the initiative, control Gaara's body, and trigger a rampage.

In order to prevent this from happening, Gaara had to stay awake all year round, forcing himself to get two dark circles under his eyes that looked like panda eyes. When necessary, Gaara will use the art of false sleep to actively enter a state of sleep, thus summoning Shukaku.

The current situation falls into the former category.

Temari and Kankuro's plan is to find a way to wake up Gaara before Shukaku's consciousness appears. Although it was a necessary part of Sunagakure Village's original plan for Gaara to transform into a One-Tail and run rampant in Konoha Village, it was obviously not the right time now.

Bai Mingyu didn't intend to stop them, so he gave way and took a few steps back.

But just when Temari was about to come into contact with Gaara, the ground beneath Gaara's feet suddenly broke open, and a large, colorful snake as thick as a bucket suddenly came out from underneath. It opened its bloody mouth and swallowed Gaara's entire body in one bite. Swallowed it, then burrowed back into the ground. Temari jumped away, thinking it was Bai Mingyu who was trying to stop her, so she looked up, but Bai Mingyu turned to look in the direction of the chakra just now, "Do you want to continue hiding it?"

A moment of silence.

After a while, a familiar hoarse voice appeared.

"It is indeed you, Mr. Bai Yu."

Among the trees, a young woman in kimono stood up and walked out slowly.

Kabuto Yakushi, who was following him, was wearing a forehead protector that symbolized Konoha ninja, and followed from a distance. A pair of round-framed glasses were perched on the bridge of his nose, making it difficult to see clearly.

"……Orochimaru?"

Bai Mingyu hesitated for a moment.

With this tone of voice, he must be Orochimaru, but with this look... Does Orochimaru like to use women's bodies as his containers so much now?

Orochimaru licked his lips and smiled gloomily: "It's a great honor for Bai Yu-kun to recognize me."

"..."

Bai Mingyu said nothing.

Orochimaru looked around slowly, his eyes lingering on Izumi and Kimimaro for a moment, then he retracted and hissed: "This transformation technique should be the work of Bai Zetsu. Use this method to blend in." Exam team, no wonder I didn’t recognize it at the beginning. Fortunately, I had been staring at this nine-tailed boy before and saw such a good show."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Bai Mingyu didn't want to listen to what he continued: "Let's just tell you, what is your purpose? Also, give you ten seconds to hand over Gaara. You should know his identity, right?"

"Well, it's not good for young people to be so impatient."

Orochimaru slowly stuck out his tongue, licked his lips again, and narrowed his snake-like eyes: "That red-haired brat is of no use to me. The purpose of my coming here is just to see you. , by the way, I would like to verify the results I obtained earlier. Then..."

As he spoke, Orochimaru clasped his hands together and slowly formed several hand seals.

To Bai Mingyu, these actions seemed vaguely familiar.

As the hand seals changed, the chakra on Orochimaru's body was seen flowing rapidly. The next moment, a cold air suddenly dispersed, and the water vapor in the air condensed in a short moment, forming the appearance of a fierce tiger. His thick limbs stepped on the ground and rushed forward at an extremely fast speed!

"Ice Escape·Broken Dragon and Tiger!"

It's actually Ice Escape? !

The ice tiger was approaching fiercely, and Bai Mingyu had no time to think. He jumped back to avoid the former's attack. Before the ice tiger got up, he pointed a knife and stabbed hard into the top of the ice tiger's neck with lightning speed.

"Liu Shui Rock Breaking Fist·Fangs inserted into fingers!"

Where the fingertips landed, fine cracks spread along the surface of the ice tiger's neck, and then a bang was heard. The huge force pouring from the crack exploded wantonly in the ice tiger's body, and the ice tiger staggered back. After a few steps, a head fell off the neck and rolled far away. The huge body cracked from the inside and turned into ice shards and scattered out.

This time, Bai Mingyu didn't hold back.

Sasuke and others who witnessed all this looked surprised.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, kept doing nothing. Under the huge surge of chakra, the momentum of a shadow-level powerhouse was released without reservation, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of ice and snow swords were condensed in the air. , and the biting frost swept across in all directions, and snowflakes appeared, and soon the ground hundreds of meters in radius was covered with a layer of white, covering the huge forest in silver. After a short period of gathering momentum, hundreds of ice and snow swords were seen raising their sword tips and shooting straight out with a sharp sound of breaking wind!

Whoosh! !

The sword is like a streamer!

Facing the overwhelming murderous intention, Bai Mingyu squinted his eyes and looked at Orochimaru opposite him with a playful expression: "Is this the result of your research in the past year? As an ice escaper, it is pretty good, but... …”

"It's still too far!"

At the same time as the first word was uttered, a colder aura emerged than that around Orochimaru!

The temperature in the air is plummeting!
