[Comprehensive] Demon Fox Hiding Horse

The movement of the "female" Kusanagi paused for a moment.

And with this tiny pause of less than half a second, Sasuke picked up Sakura, and disappeared from the opponent's sight in a few moments.

Sasuke's move was not to take the opportunity to delay and evade, but he had already judged that the strength of this attacker was stronger than any enemy he had encountered before.

Even the difficult enemies like Momoji Zabuza and Minazukishiro encountered in the mission of the country of Nami before seemed a bit unsightly compared with the mysterious Kusanagi that he encountered now. While his attitude became more and more cautious, he couldn't help but secretly had a hint of doubt in his heart——

A person with such strength is just a forbearance?

No matter how you think about it... it seems to be a bit problematic.

However, in a short period of time, he didn't have any information to base on, and Naruto didn't know if he had fallen for the opponent's scheme and hadn't returned to the team until now. It must be difficult for Sasuke alone to deal with such an opponent. The troublesome situation is that he is not alone now, and there is Sakura beside him, who objectively speaking will definitely lower his standing. Sasuke has already decided to take good care of Sakura first and find her After hiding in a safe place to ensure that she will not be threatened by the enemy as a hostage, then consider how to deal with it next.

"Sangouyu Sharingan combined with the Uchiha family's unique secret technique, the illusion performed should be able to slow down the opponent's movements for a while."

Sasuke carried Sakura, who had been rigidly suppressed by the opponent's extremely terrifying murderous aura since the appearance of the mysterious Kusanagi, and quickly shuttled through the jungle, while silently thinking and calculating in his heart.

"Just hide Sakura before he catches up, and then hold on until Naruto comes back..."

A series of predictions and calculations were carried out rapidly in his heart. When Sasuke put down Sakura in an absolutely hidden tree hole, he used the pupil technique to imprint a mental imprint telling her to hide here and not to run out casually. After entering her mind, the black-haired boy flew away under the dazed gaze of the girl who was still in a dazed state, leaving only the back of the latter gradually shrinking and disappearing, so that the girl who had just recovered a little bit of reason, For a moment, I felt a sharp pain in my heart...

"It's dragged... the hind legs..."

She lowered her head and smiled wryly.

In stark contrast to the girl's extremely depressed mood at the moment, the face of the tuanfan boy who was running and jumping in the bushes, full of expectation and fear coexisted, and there was a nervous trembling expression in the eagerness to try...

"Maybe, I can win..."

***

Looking at the back of Sasuke who left quickly after putting down Sakura, Kurama and Hades glanced at each other, and saw a hint of admiration and comfort in each other's eyes——

Sasuke's judgment is really very appropriate.

only……

"After all, I still have a little lack of practical experience."

Kurama shook his head and sighed softly, and conveniently formed a barrier around the tree hole where Sakura was hiding, and then looked calmly at Orochimaru, who had become the mysterious Kusanagi Ninja, almost under the barrier he had cast. Seconds flew away from the giant tree where the tree hole was located, followed the traces left by Sasuke deliberately, and went deeper into the depths of the jungle...

"That rascal……"

At this time, Itachi, who had been sullen since the encounter between Sasuke and a certain mysterious female grass ninja, suddenly spoke.

"Although I'm not sure yet, he gives me the feeling...somewhat like someone I know."

But itachi himself was not too sure whether it was the other party, so he didn't say the name of Orochimaru immediately.

Kurama was quite sure of the identity of the other party, but he had nothing to use as a reason to know the identity of Orochimaru, so after hearing Itachi's words, he had to raise his eyebrows pretending to be puzzled, but in a blink of an eye he exchanged with Hades again. a line of sight—

These two people have not gotten along for nothing in the past five years.Although the identities have not been confirmed for a long time, but the things that should be confessed to each other have not been left at all, such as the true origin of the Tibetan horse, such as the various secret information that Hades obtained from the stone tablet left by the creation god Mokonah...

Therefore, there is no need to make any pretense in front of Hades, who is fully aware of his origins. Even, many Hokage plots that he can remember clearly have been regarded as topics of afternoon chats by him in the past five years. Hades knew.

So now both of them are well aware of the identity of the "Mysterious Kusanagi Shinobi" who is following Sasuke, but they are not very concerned about revealing each other's identity right now, and it will add to the burden if they say it. There were unnecessary troubles, so after a tacit exchange of glances, he simply acted as if he didn't know anything, and continued to follow in the footsteps of Sasuke and Orochimaru.

***

By the time the group caught up with Sasuke and Orochimaru at a leisurely pace, the two had already been fighting for a while.

As one of the former Konoha Sannin, Orochimaru's strength should not be underestimated, but Sasuke, who has a tailor-made training plan by Itachi himself and Sasuke who personally guides Hades, is naturally not bad.

In the original book, Sasuke was able to use Orochimaru's underestimation of the enemy, his amazing growth and strength enhancement during the battle, and his bold and careful strategy to successfully injure Orochimaru. Now this strength has improved compared to the original work. At the moment of life and death, he has no scruples about things like the exposure of the invigilator's strength, so Sasuke, who has exerted nearly [-]% of his strength from the very beginning, is even more amazed by the strength and fighting consciousness he shows.

"As expected of the person I have my eyes on."

Twisting his waist, which was so soft that it was hardly human, escaped another sneak attack from Sasuke, and looked at the blood-colored eyes of the young man opposite him, who could clearly see the three sapphires flowing in his pupils, the big snake Maru stretched out his long tongue and rolled up a kunai that flew towards him from Sasuke's finger without sound, the tip of his tongue almost touched the boy's face...

Sasuke's expression remained unchanged.

In the state of battle, he was terribly calm and calm. He didn't seem to care what his opponent, Orochimaru, said or did. The predictions and calculations were performed one by one, and the whole set of attack movements appeared to be smooth and full of rhythm, which made Orochimaru's eyes even hotter...

"...==+"

——Itachi's already heavy expression on the side became even worse.

"It can't be wrong."

His eyes were cold, and his tone was cold when he spoke again.

"He's definitely the one I know."

Apart from that person, he really couldn't think of any other guy he knew who was more perverted and had more reason to covet Sasuke.

Frowning worriedly, he turned to Sasuke, who was losing ground in the battle with Orochimaru because of the objective gap in strength, although the battle was indeed well fought, Itachi hesitated for a while, and finally turned to Sasuke. Head to Kurama and solemnly nodded: "This person... is a very dangerous person to Konoha, after I entered 'Xiao', he was included in the list of several key internal surveillance personnel. "

"I think you should have guessed something about his identity from his behavior."

"Yes, he is one of the original Sannin who successfully escaped from the third generation and betrayed Konoha - Orochimaru."

"Although I don't know what he is trying to get into Konoha by pretending to be a grass ninja village ninja who took the Chunin exam, but even if he really didn't have any plans, the existence of Oshemaru alone appeared in Konoha Village It's dangerous enough in itself."

"So I have to report this matter to the Third Hokage immediately."

——Even if the old feud with Sasuke has been settled, under the influence of his younger brother, he has gradually changed his mind, but Itachi's attention to Konoha did not form overnight, and the desire to gradually fade away, naturally it is not Something that can be done in a day or two.

So when he realized that Orochimaru had appeared in the village without telling everyone, Itachi's first reaction was of course to report to Sandai Hokage immediately.

However, at the same time, he couldn't let go of Sasuke, who was fighting fiercely with Orochimaru, so he could only present the facts and reason. While explaining the situation to Kurama, he was also trying to convince himself that the overall situation should come first... …

"Sasuke is here to count on you."

Itachi said in a deep voice, and solemnly saluted Kurama and Hades.

"You don't need to give him any help or guarantee. Please let him fight Orochimaru as long as possible. Even if he is injured or his life may be in danger, please don't interrupt his battle until the last moment."

"It's his fight, his choice, his experience, his growth, unless it kills him..."

— Outsiders have no right to intervene without authorization.

Itachi didn't speak to the end, but the idea he expressed was already very obvious.

Kurama smiled and nodded to meet his heavy gaze.

"Don't worry." He smiled, "Sasuke is a child raised by me, and I also know what he needs."

Itachi was silent for a while.

After a long time, he nodded again and thanked him softly. The next second, his whole body had turned into a black crow, flying high into the sky...

At the same time, in the battle situation not far away, there was a sudden change and rebirth. Naruto, who was trapped in the belly of the snake, finally arrived late, and beside him, there was still a face full of tears, but his expression was more serious than ever before. Steadfast Sakura——

"Sasuke, you can't leave us alone here to be brave and handsome!"

Although the golden retriever fox was in a mess because of being swallowed into the snake's stomach, there was no trace of gloom in his tone and expression.

He opened his mouth with a bright smile. Seeing Sasuke's sudden appearance in Orochimaru, he suddenly appeared in a daze, seemingly unintentionally revealing a small flaw, and quickly rushed forward, at an incredible speed. Rubbing down, in the blink of an eye, he and Sasuke cooperated tacitly to sandwich Orochimaru from the left to the right, and the two kunai reached his front and back chests almost at the same time...

"Hey~ how's it going? In the end, don't you want me, Mr. Naruto, to cooperate with you in this play?"

The little fox gave Sasuke a triumphant look, "I am a great hero, come and praise me".

The boy with the round fan looked at him arrogantly (jiao) with his chin.

"I just saw an idiot who was so late in planning and almost missed it."

——Obviously in the message I left at Sakura’s place, I told him to come early, but I didn’t expect that this guy actually had something wrong and delayed for so long. If he was a little later, I wouldn’t have the energy left to come Support, complete the layout now.

Thinking of this, Sasuke was still a little scared, so he couldn't help but glared at Naruto angrily. The contempt and helplessness in his eyes made Naruto jump for a while, either to refute or not, and finally he had to sulking there with his mouth curled up.

The two seem to be completely at odds, but it is not difficult to feel that there is such an affectionate confrontation everywhere in it, and Sakura who is watching is envious and a little sad At the same time, it also made Orochimaru, who was surrounded by them, successfully let out a low smile of unknown meaning...

"I see."

While smiling, he raised his head slowly, and in the eyes of Sasuke who was facing him, gradually reflected a face that had completely changed at some point.

"Sure enough... I really like you."

Regardless of Kunai who suddenly stabbed into his chest, Orochimaru insisted on leaning forward, trying to get closer to Sasuke's face.

With his long tongue sticking out, Sasuke subconsciously evaded and brushed against the young boy's pink cheeks, Orochimaru snorted, and met Sasuke's eyes for a moment...

"Sooner or later... you will belong to me!"

——As he said, his neck suddenly stretched, and at the same time, he opened his mouth wide, and bit down on Sasuke's shoulder and neck fiercely!
