TUS Chapter 177: Facing the Snake
🕑 Added 2024-08-27 00:56:17 +0000 UTC"The old seals can still be used. Orochimaru is probably still here." Guren commented.
Funan patted Ido's head and said: “You must be careful, as we are about to face Orochimaru, the Sannin of Konoha.”
Ido rubbed his head on Funan's hand and smiled. “I’ve been wanting to see the strength of one of Konoha’s Sannin for a long time. How many blows from Sensei can they withstand?”
“Maybe I will be the one who is defeated.” Funan replied.
"Impossible!"
"Why?"
"Because I am here, I will not let anyone hurt the teacher!"
Ido's words were extremely firm.
Funan laughed loudly: “You're a good girl!”
Guren looked at them with a strange expression.
Funan stepped forward and walked into the entrance.
...
Orochimaru had many secret bases, most of them located inside mountains or underground.
This place was no exception; it was a secret underground base.
Funan did not dare to let her guard down against Orochimaru.
They moved cautiously along the underground passage.
The strange thing was that everything was surprisingly quiet.
Under Guren's guidance, they reached the door of Orochimaru's most important laboratory without encountering anyone. However, everything around them seemed newly renovated.
Guren whispered: “Has everyone left yet?”
"No." Funan looked at the door in front of him, suddenly smiled, pushed the door open with force, and said: “Orochimaru-san, were you waiting for me?”
“Careful!” Guren exclaimed, alarmed.
"Don't worry." Funan waved his hand confidently and said: “Guren, relax, don’t be so… Oh my God!”
At this moment, a familiar face appeared in front of him, accompanied by countless kunai flying in his direction.
Funan was stunned.
"Crystal Release!"
With a shout, Guren created a crystal wall that stood between Funan and the kunai.
The crisp sound of collision echoed in the underground passage.
The kunai then bounced off and began to emit white smoke.
Funan looked closely and couldn't help cursing.
Explosive Tags!
Orochimaru, this bastard, he thought the other party was receiving him in a friendly manner, but who knew that the other party had no martial ethics.
[Boom!]
A rumble shook the hallway, causing it to tremble as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
"Crystal Release!"
Guren screamed again, causing crystal pillars to rise from the ground to support the tunnel and prevent them from being buried alive.
With a grim expression, Funan glared at the figure in front of him and yelled through gritted teeth: “Orochimaru, you damn dog! Do you really want to die?”
Orochimaru grinned and said: “I knew I couldn’t hurt Funan-kun, but I’m surprised you got my subordinate to help you.”
He looked at Guren in surprise.
In his original plan, Guren should have collaborated with him in the attack. Although they would not have been able to hurt Funan, they would have at least put him in an awkward position.
But to his amazement, Guren, instead of attacking him, had protected him.
Funan replied with feigned seriousness: “Ours is true love!”
Orochimaru: "..."
"Funan-kun, you are really interesting."
“The next time we meet, I assure you, Orochimaru-san, that I will give you an even bigger surprise.” Funan smiled slightly, a smile that was unsettling.
Orochimaru paused, knowing that he had angered Funan this time.
Although Funan was really powerful...
But, He, Orochimaru, feared nothing and no one.
“Funan-kun, why have you come to look for me?”
“I have something that needs your help.”
Funan fixed his eyes on Orochimaru and said: “How is your research on the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation going?”
Orochimaru let out a deranged laugh.
He stared at Funan, stuck out his long tongue and licked his lips. “Funan-kun, how do you know I have mastered that technique?”
"Don't worry about how I know." Funan looked at Orochimaru and snorted. “We agreed that you should take care of some shinobi from the Sarutobi clan, but you didn’t do it. Does our agreement still stand?”
Orochimaru was silent for a while and said: “Of course. Do you still need me to fulfill our agreement? Or would you rather change it?”
“We will discuss that in person.” Funan smiled and said: "It's meaningless to talk to the clone. I prefer the original body."
Orochimaru laughed softly and just as he was about to respond, he realized his body was beginning to burn.
"Huh?"
Orochimaru was stunned and subconsciously looked at the little girl next to Funan.
The little girl looked very sweet, but her expression was indescribably evil.
She looked at Orochimaru and smiled. “You're going to burn to death.”
[Bang!]
Orochimaru was surrounded by flames.
"Interesting!"
Laughter echoed.
Orochimaru looked at the little girl with interest and said: "Funan-kun, see you next time, goodbye, interesting little girl."
[Bang!]
The clone disappeared.
Ido licked her lips, this action is very similar to Orochimaru, she murmured to herself: "Next time, next time I will set you on fire."
"Don't worry." Funan gently covered Ido's head with his hand, stroking her soft long hair, and said: "This guy is not easy to kill. His strength may not be a big deal, but his ability to save his life is unparalleled in the world."
"Hmph!"
Ido snorted lightly, looking extremely dissatisfied. The next moment, she showed a painful expression and said dissatisfiedly: “I’ve only been gone a moment and already you want to take control.”
"Didn't the teacher just touch me? You can't stand it?"
Funan was speechless, a nervous twitch at the corner of his mouth. “It’s okay, Ido. You’re using Yakumo’s time now.”
Ido pouted and his expression began to change.
The evil was replaced by the gentle.
Funan learned that Yakumo had returned.
"Teacher."
Yakumo saluted respectfully.
"Yakumo, how do you feel recently?"
Funan asked with a smile.
"I'm fine!" Yakumo smiled and said: "It's just that Ido is naughty and always tries to seize control of my body. I used to give in to her. It's a rare time to be with the teacher, and she also tries to seize control. I naturally won't agree."
Funan laughed and said: “We have all the time in the world, don’t worry.”
“Okay, Yakumo, help me gather all the information here. Orochimaru is the craziest man in the shinobi world, but he is also the most brilliant scientist. Even the smallest details he left behind are of great value.”
Yakumo asked curiously: "Does the teacher admire this person named Orochimaru?"
"Yes." Funan said: "Unfortunately, he is destined to become an enemy."
...
Uchiha Yashiro said that he was very nervous!
"Hokage-sama, where has he gone?!"
"We are about to reach the gates of Kumogakure, why has he not appeared yet?"
In the distance, the great army of Kumogakure could already be seen.
"Uchiha Yashiro!"
Several angry shouts rang out almost at the same time.
"Here we go again!"
Yashiro grabbed his head, frustrated.
Kakashi and others hurried over.
"Where is the Hokage?"
"How should I know? I'm not the Hokage!"
Faced with the questioning, Yashiro was also annoyed.
Kakashi said angrily: "Yashiro, I tell you, we are participating in the Chunin Exam this time, and all the shinobi villages will participate. If there is any problem at this time..."
[Crack!]
Yashiro said angrily: "I know what you said, but the Hokage is not here, what can I do, or do you think the Hokage will listen to me?"
[Crack!]
"You were standing next to the Hokage, and you didn't even notice when he left?" Kakashi sneered. "What if someone sneaks up on the Hokage?"
[Crack!]
Yashiro also sneered and said: "Hokage-sama is not a waste like you. Who dares to attack him? Even if he is attacked, there will be no result."
[Crack!]
"Not necessarily." Kakashi said coldly. "It is said that Orochimaru has caused a lot of trouble for Hokage-sama."
"Rumor, this is definitely a rumor!" Yashiro said coldly: "Hokage-sama is the strongest man in Konoha, even the strongest man in the shinobi world. Who is Orochimaru? How can he compare with the master?"
[Crack!]
"Damn it! What's that noise?"
Kakashi and Yashiro angrily turned their heads, searching for the source of the sound that was bothering them.
They soon found it, and then, they fell silent.
Funan was sitting on top of the cart, nibbling on a piece of bamboo.
"Keep arguing." Funan looked at them with interest and said: "Better yet, fight. Tell me, which one of you is stronger? Have you fought each other before? Why don't you give it a try?"
He looked very excited.
Kakashi and Yashiro looked at each other, ignored him, and turned to leave.
"Hey!"
Seeing this, Funan felt deeply offended and shouted, "I am the Hokage! How can you ignore me? This is insubordination!"
Still no one paid attention to him, and everyone returned to their seats.
"Tsk!"
Funan curled his lips in dissatisfaction and said: "If you do this again, I'll leave."
"Leave?" Yashiro's eyebrows jumped and said: "Where are you going?"
Funan said with a lonely face: "Go to a place where someone cares about me. This is not a place for me to stay."
Several people cursed in their minds, and then walked back.
"Hokage-sama, where did you go just now?"
"Yes, we are very worried about you!"
"We will soon meet up with the vanguard of Kumogakure, you must be careful."
"The relationship between Kumogakure and us is too sensitive."
"Youth!"
"By the way, why did you suddenly start chewing bamboo? Is there anything you can't say?"
“My blood is burning!”
