Bab 65: Chapter 65 : Possibility
Of course, Orochimaru couldn't have fully mastered Sato Kamehito's physical skills just by watching them a few times. He merely grasped a rough idea.
Sato Kamehito's physical skills were as challenging in mastering as the Rasengan. Kakashi once used one-handed Rasengan to mock Naruto when he finally learned to do it with the help of a shadow clone.
But, like any ninjutsu, it's easy to learn but difficult to master. If you can't use it to its fullest potential, it's practically useless.
"My physical strength is also very strong!" Orochimaru raised his arms and explained. However, seeing Sato Kamehito's dumbfounded and unwilling expression, he felt a faint sense of guilt.
"Captain, we found the scroll!" Hyuga Kazuki took out a scroll and handed it to Orochimaru.
"Very good, White Rooster. It seems like a lot of free time is calling us," Orochimaru moved closer to Hyuga Kazuki excitedly.
"I wonder how the captain will deal with them, and if he won't use snakes again...!!"
As soon as Kazuki looked at Nightingale, she couldn't speak anymore!
"Why did I bring this up?!"
Both of them growled almost simultaneously and then secretly looked at Orochimaru.
"It's time to send you on your way!" Orochimaru repeated his old trick and used a snake to bite the four of them on their necks. The other three, except for Sato Kamehito, immediately fell into a coma.
"You... what do you want to do?" Sato Kamehito's body was truly formidable, and his mental resistance was stronger than others.
"This is for your own good!" Orochimaru stunned him with a heavy hand chop and then used a summoning technique.
"Bang!" A massive twenty-meter-long snake appeared and once again swallowed the four unfortunate fellows one by one.
"The four guys from last time won't be digested, right?" Falcon couldn't help muttering when he saw that the snake's belly hadn't changed at all.
The fear in the eyes of the three of them looking at Orochimaru grew stronger.
Meanwhile, in the distance, Hyuga Shiro already had five scrolls with him, and not long ago, he found the last team with scrolls.
"Captain, there must be someone fighting with such thick smoke in the southwest. Why don't we go and check?"
"Hey, I wanted to hurry up too, but with so many prisoners, they probably escaped early."
Hyuga Shiro looked at the dozen or so angry eyes behind him and sighed. While this approach could avoid endless fights, it slowed them down significantly, carrying all these "captives" with them.
Although Hyuga Shiro sealed their chakra with the Gentle Fist, it could be troublesome if they were attacked, and their location might be easily exposed, so it wasn't advisable to move quickly.
He also felt that maybe this approach would ruin his reputation.
"There are too few teams left, and our speed is hard to match. I have a hunch that the remaining scrolls are in the hands of the Black Snake." Hyuga Shiro suddenly said, "So, let's head directly to the center and wait. They will come eventually, and with my Byakugan, I can spot them in advance and stop them."
Hyuga Shiro thought his idea was great, so one team moved the four teams closer to the center.
"I didn't expect to find another Body-Enhancing Fruit (quenching fruit). My luck is incredible." Orochimaru quietly took a bright fruit from a snake's mouth, while his snake army searched for the dead animals and also gathered medicinal herbs from the forest.
Not to mention, there were many valuable things. Orochimaru planned to refine a wave of medicine when he returned for a handsome profit.
This Body-Enhancing Fruit was undoubtedly a delightful surprise. Although Orochimaru had its saplings, it would take several years to cultivate them. With this fruit, Orochimaru could directly enhance his body's cells.
There probably wasn't a third one in the entire Forest of Death. And in addition to this, other medicinal materials were also abundant, indicating that the snakes' search ability was impressive.
Orochimaru didn't make a sound. He decided to keep this discovery to himself so that others wouldn't know.
Suddenly, Orochimaru's snakes seemed to have found something.
"Falcon, our dinner is coming to us. Be careful, it's a ninja beast."
Ninja beasts were generally larger and more powerful. Although most couldn't use ninjutsu, their attack and defense capabilities were enhanced. Moreover, they could be intelligent and used as summoning beasts.
After a while, the forest tremored, and a massive ninja beast appeared. This ninja beast was the size of an Asian elephant, had tusks like ferocious lances, and was covered in long, sharp bristles. It was defending its territory.
"This guy looks a bit like a huge wild boar with porcupine bristles." Orochimaru commented, not knowing if ANBU had captured it or if it was raised from birth. After all, there were many strange ninja beasts in the Hokage's possession.
Falcon approached the large wild boar silently, calmly placing his hand on the hilt of his sword. The wild boar glared at him with fierce small eyes and suddenly charged.
The wild boar's charge was like a train rushing towards Falcon. The vicious momentum was enough to scare even Genin to the point of feeling weakness in their legs and feet. However, Falcon didn't move. He knew that the wild boar was about to reach him before he drew his sword.
"Draw the sword and cut!"
A stern flash of the sword and the Falcon slid past the wild boar's charge from the side. At the same time, a large amount of blood spewed from the wild boar's left leg. The wild boar howled miserably, with one leg crippled, it could no longer charge. It glared viciously at the Falcon, then turned around, his bristles standing up, and shot towards him with a "bang"!
"Be careful!" Nightingale couldn't help but cry out.
These bristles were more like javelins, three meters long and gleaming with a metallic luster. Falcon swung his sword to avoid the trees.
The penetrating power of the bristles was terrifying. When one of them hit a tree trunk directly, it could pierce through, and wood chips flew around.
However, the accuracy of these attacks wasn't excellent, and Falcon's movements were solid, making it easy for him to dodge.
Seeing that the situation wasn't good, the wild boar howled and attempted to escape. But with a shout from Falcon, he rushed forward and slashed at the wild boar's back.
"Roar!" The wild boar retaliated with another wave of bristles, but Falcon's figure turned into smoke.
The real Falcon had already appeared in front of the wild boar's face, recognizing the bristles as its weakness.
" Deathly Dance."
This time, Falcon withheld all his strength, moved like a gentle breeze, and floated in front of the wild boar. Before the wild boar could react, Falcon's full force slash was already unleashed.
"Qiang—!"
As if the world had dimmed, only the white blade light shone more brightly. Blood crossed the wild boar's eyebrows, and the sharp sword penetrated directly into its brain.
"Roar--!"
Bones cracked, blood splattered, and the wild boar fought back with fury, thrashing around on its deathbed!
Falcon appeared next to Orochimaru and the others in an instant, panting, with one side of his sleeve torn.
The wild boar's defensive power was too strong, and only a full-powered strike from Falcon's sharp sword could truly hit its weak point.
It took five full minutes for the wild boar to die. By this time, the forest seemed like it had been plowed, and it was in complete chaos.
"It's strange, there was so much commotion here. But like last time, no other teams showed up. It's too abnormal." Orochimaru paid no attention to the wild boar at all. He was pondering why everyone had disappeared.
Both Nightingale and Hyuga Kazuki went to deal with the wild boar's body, while Orochimaru leisurely observed from a tree.
The group spent quite some time cutting open the boar's skin and took a large piece of meat. The wild boar was too big to eat in one go.
"Captain, should we roast it?" Nightingale looked at Orochimaru expectantly.
"Roasting will produce too much smoke. Why don't we just cook it?" Hyuga Kazuki suggested.
"How long will it take to cook it? Most likely, it won't be fully cooked."
"If we roast it, it might attract other teams or ninja beasts."
"......."
"Let's roast it and eat it. Just be cautious not to reveal our location." Orochimaru spoke.
"Awesome!"
Orochimaru smiled and said nothing. In the end, they spent ten minutes playing around and another half an hour to barbecue, but just like last time, no team approached at all.
"Eliminating all impossible scenarios, the other teams must also be held captive." Orochimaru said while eating the barbecue. Although the wild barbecue was very simple, with no seasoning except salt, it was quite enjoyable.
"It's also highly likely that the code-named Elephant did it. I observed that only he has the strength of a Jōnin. Adding Swallow and Deer's acupuncture skills, it's possible they've imprisoned the other teams."
"No..." Several people were shocked, but they couldn't think of any other explanation.
So there are people as twisted as you, Captain. Several people exchanged knowing glances.
"In that case, tomorrow, we'll head directly to the central meeting point, and everything will become clear." Orochimaru made a decision.
