[Hokage] I don't need that kind of thing at all

After Mizuki Ibuki and Yekan moved separately, they climbed directly to the top of the tree, gathered chakra on the soles of their feet, and then moved at full speed towards the tower in the center of the forest.

Although this mode of travel consumes a lot of chakra, once people notice it, there is nowhere to hide, but at the same time, it can also make the initial and fastest judgment on the situation around the body, without being distracted by the strange insects and beasts in the forest.

Mizuki Yibuki grew up in the real death forest since childhood, and it has long been as simple and natural as breathing in the forest to restrain the breath to the maximum extent.

The vast majority of ninjas, when they need to pass through the forest, often choose to find a foothold among the branches of the trees.In this way, not only can you always maintain a state of being able to attack, defend, avoid, and retreat, but you can also reduce the consumption of Chakra as much as possible.

However, this method not only tends to leave everyone's aura, but also attracts the attention of various tiny creatures in the forest because of their forward movements.

Either animals or plants.

The older the forest, the more weak and small creatures there are. Because they are weak, they are extremely sensitive to slight changes in the outside world.They will react instinctively to the small movements of outsiders. This reaction is very weak, but it can be completely captured by the 'core' in Mizuki Ibuki's body.

Mizuki Ibuki kept his eyes in a slack state as he moved forward, and his consciousness was fully released, intertwined with the surrounding plants to form a web, and determined whether he needed to change direction according to those small spatial changes.

When he successfully captured Uchiha Sasuke's breath, Mizuki Ibuki's eyes refocused in his eyes.He stopped without hesitation, because of inertia, his body still leaned forward a little.

The soles of Mizuki Ibuki's feet rubbed against the surface of the branches familiarly, and with the help of this inertia, he directly unscrewed his figure, and jumped into the lush branches and leaves at a very tricky angle.

There is not only Uchiha Sasuke alone, but also more than three people from the seventh class...

Mizuki Ibuki gritted her teeth, secretly annoyed that she would always unconsciously think of Yekan's last words and the picture of hugging Uchiha Itachi during the rush, so that the knowledge network was always disconnected, wasting a lot of time. less time.

The last thick tree trunk that blocked the line of sight flashed sideways, and the situation over there was quickly brought into view.

The guy in the standard costume of Kusanagi Village raised his hands calmly, and held his ten fingers together in front of his eyes.The middle fingers of both hands clasped behind the raised index fingers, making a strange knot.

Immediately afterwards, the man's head bounced upwards!

The pale neck seemed to be ripped open up and down, stretched to an extremely terrifying length, and its speed was so fast that it directly turned into a pale phantom, and went straight to Sasuke Uchiha who was standing in front of him!

Mizuki Yibuki couldn't help but shrink her pupils on that thin face with half of her face that was obviously scorched.

"...!" The corner of his right eye twitched vigorously, and when he moved to the next foothold, his ankle burst out with all his strength, and he stretched out his right hand while rushing there.

Palm down, five fingers spread out, fingertips slightly retracted.

Mizuki Ibuki pressed his right hand to the void below: "Trap me!"

Before the words were finished, a small gap suddenly opened on the surface of the branch that Uchiha Sasuke stepped on, and the new branch directly wrapped around his and Haruno Sakura's ankles, and at the same time, the intertwined roots growing underground suddenly drove the trunk of the tree, crazy. The ground moved to a deeper place, and in an instant it fell two meters in height.

The feeling of being pulled down suddenly made Haruno Sakura subconsciously exclaim, and Orochimaru's thin chin brushed against Sasuke's hair with a fierce wind.

With the inertia of sprinting, Mizuki Yibuki directly bent his elbow and bumped into the overgrown neck, and then turned half a circle downward with the help of the rebounding impact force, straightened his right leg, and directly covered the neck with half of his face. kicked his head upwards.

"Hey! Don't stand here in a daze!" Mizuki Ibuki roared at Haruno Sakura who was still in a daze. "Get out of the way!"

At the same time, he stretched out his hand to grab Sasuke Uchiha at the side, and with a secret "tsk", he took Haruno Sakura, who had not yet recovered from the accident, in his arms, and settled on another branch a little further away.The sticky moss growing on the surface of the tree trunk made him have to slide backwards for a few meters before he managed to stabilize his footing, and almost bumped into the tree trunk behind with the two people under his arms.

After Mizuki Yibuki stopped, she let out a long breath.The next second after his breath recovered, he directly opened Sharingan, looked at the place where Orochimaru was: "It's all right."

The object of the conversation was obviously not Orochimaru over there.

"...It's okay." Sasuke Uchiha had just fought against Orochimaru just now, and his physical strength and chakra have been consumed a lot. Not only are there small wounds on his body, but there are also traces of being scalded by the fire escape .

The focus of Mizuki Ibuki's gaze was always on Orochimaru, he stepped forward slightly, stood in front of Uchiha Sasuke, and said to Haruno Sakura behind him: "Miss Haruno, please find a suitable place to hide good."

Haruno Sakura came back to her senses for a while, looked at him hesitantly, and then at Sasuke.

"Go." Mizuki Yibuki didn't look back, turned his right hand over, and picked out a greenish-black seed with his fingertips. "The other party's target is us. It's very inconvenient for you to be here."

Mizuki Ibuki didn't dislike Haruno Sakura, he just simply felt that letting Haruno Sakura stay with the two brothers would be affected instead.

But these words... the taste became a little different in the ears of Haruno Sakura, who had never played a role.

Haruno Sakura blushed, nodded silently, and really moved to the branch not far away.

"Twin brothers meet again during the exam." Da Shemaru stood on the opposite branch, raised his hand and tore off the broken face, revealing a pale and thin serious face. "This picture is really moving."

Mizuki Yibuki frowned.

"However..." Orochimaru changed the subject, and the arc of the corner of his mouth became more meaningful. "Should I wait a little longer, maybe the three brothers of the Uchiha family will be here today."

Uchiha Sasuke suffocated after hearing this, and then his expression became colder, he gritted his teeth and took a step forward.

Mizuki Ibuki immediately reached out to stop him: "Oshemaru, I believe you don't really hope that you will meet that person."

The smile in Orochimaru's eyes restrained somewhat, but the arc of the corner of his mouth became more and more curved.He and Mizuki Ibuki looked at each other for a few seconds, and then looked at Uchiha Sasuke next to him: "Sasuke, as an older brother, you must feel very uncomfortable being protected by your younger brother."

After Uchiha Sasuke heard his words, his eyes changed slightly.

"Ibuki's strength is not enough to protect himself, but he still stands in front of you." Orochimaru deliberately slowed down his speech and continued. "Because you are more..."

"Oshemaru!" Mizuki Yifui interrupted the other party.

"Look." Orochimaru still looked at Uchiha Sasuke. "Even now, he is still working hard to maintain your fragile self-esteem." He laughed a few times as he spoke. "I can give you the strength you need."

Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth secretly, and Mizuki Ibuki reached back directly, and with a "snap", he precisely grasped his fingertips: "No need."

"Ibuki, not long ago, you were protected by others like Sasuke." Orochimaru cast his gaze on Mizuki Ibuki with cold eyes. "But it's a pity now, Sasuke doesn't seem to be able to protect you unscathed like that person."

Before the words fell, Mizuki Ibuki felt the fingers in his palm tremble slightly, and he added strength to his hand: "Sasuke's ability does not need you to judge."

"I don't mean to underestimate him, on the contrary, I attach great importance to his ability." Orochimaru smiled. "I'm the one best suited to teach him."

Mizuki Ibuki also curled the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Whether he wants to accept your teaching or not is up to him to decide in the future. It's still the exam period, don't you plan to just take him away?"

"How is it possible?" Orochimaru looked at him. "I just wanted to give him a small gift before leaving."

As soon as the words fell, Orochimaru suddenly cast a teleportation technique and moved to the eyes of the two, and his right hand turned into a snake and directly wrapped around Mizuki Ibuki's body.

Mizuki Ibuki's face remained unchanged, and his eyes were so calm that it was shocking.

Orochimaru met that gaze, for some reason, he couldn't help but think of Uchiha Itachi's eyes, and he couldn't help but pause for a second.

Just before he regained consciousness, Mizuki Ibuki suddenly raised a sly smile.

Immediately afterwards, Orochimaru felt a momentary blackness in front of his eyes, and in the next second, he saw the dark flower python coiling around his body.Orochimaru's slender pupils shrank suddenly: "...Illusion."

Just like Uchiha Itachi.

He raised his head, excited by the opponent's small gestures: "You can..."

Before he could finish speaking, a small pain suddenly came from the surface of his body.Orochimaru lowered his head again, and found that he didn't know when it would start, and a circle of vines with faintly flickering black awns firmly tied him in the middle.

The surface of the vines was covered with dense thorns, which directly penetrated the clothes and pierced into the flesh.

"Yeah." Mizuki Yibuki responded, and punched Orochimaru's nose fiercely, then pulled the right hand holding the vine suddenly behind him, and when Orochimaru's body was about to touch her, With one kick into the opponent's abdomen, the two impact forces mixed together, erupting with an even more frightening force. "It starts when you see those eyes."

Uchiha Sasuke stood behind him, watching this series of changes, slightly dazed.

After completing these actions, Mizuki Ibuki's body trembled almost invisible, and then he staggered back two steps, directly bumping into Uchiha Sasuke's body.

"What's wrong?" Sasuke Uchiha nervously held his shoulder.

Mizuki Yibuki closed her eyes and shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off the flickering black mist in front of her eyes: "...that guy is too strong, and consumes too much energy."

Sure enough, it was still a bit reluctant.

Mizuki Ibuki's purpose is to implement a personal strategy for those who are good at long-range combat, and implement a kite strategy for those who are good at close combat. Anyway, I don't suffer from either, just let the other party suffer as much as possible.

But in the face of a person like Orochimaru whose strength is obviously much higher than his own, Mizuki Ibuki is a little helpless.You can't fight, you can't wait for rescue, and you probably can't escape.

His purpose is very simple, just don't let Orochimaru plant a curse seal on Sasuke so early.Otherwise, not only will you be in a lot of trouble during the exam, but you will also have a gap with Naruto in the subsequent tasks.

"Oshemaru." Mizuki Yibuki restrained himself. "I understand what you want to do, at least, can you wait until the end of this exam."

"Although I made an appointment with Itachi before, but..." Orochimaru's hoarse voice came from the opposite side, and did not respond to what he said. "I regret it."

Once the name "Itachi" was spoken by the other party, Mizuki Ibuki clearly felt Sasuke Uchiha's body tense behind him.

Just as Mizuki Ibuki was about to turn his head to look at Sasuke's situation, there was a crisp sound of the face of a fist smashing into the palm of his ear.Immediately afterwards, he felt that all the cells in his body were on strike, and he couldn't lift a trace of strength.

The body couldn't help shaking. If he hadn't gritted his teeth and braced himself, he would have been able to kneel on the ground.

A term suddenly popped out of Mizuki Ibuki's brain: restraint.

His thoughts were still on the "Binding Technique", when there was a sudden sound of cutting the air in front of him, and at the same time, Haruno Sakura not far away also let out a worried cry.

Mizuki Yibuki's heart skipped a beat, and when she looked up, a thin and pale face was approaching her at a very fast speed!

That pair of golden snake eyes stared at him closely, that kind of gaze was like a giant python that had been lurking for a long time treating its long-awaited prey.

Uchiha Sasuke obviously found that the opponent's target was Mizuki Ibuki next to him. He gritted his teeth and wanted to pull Ibuki away, but he moved forward a small half step, but he almost collapsed directly.

Mizuki Yibuki watched helplessly as Orochimaru's face was approaching him, and wanted to dodge to avoid it, but he couldn't pull up any strength at all.

He suddenly missed Uchiha Itachi very much.
