At the other end of the forest.
Two figures, one in front and one behind, were chasing each other in the starry night. They were bathing in the cold moonlight, rising and falling in the dense forest, their speed was as fast as a ghost, ordinary Jonin might not be able to reach this level.
After a long time, the figure in front stopped.
He stood quietly on the branch of a large tree, holding a mischievous five or six year old child in his hand. He was panting slightly as he looked at the prey that was chasing after him.
There is no doubt that this person is Orochi Maru who kidnapped Uchiha Sasuke from the Uchiha Clan.
In just a few short breaths, the second figure also fell, he stood on the crown of a big tree, staring at Orochi Maru who was holding Sasuke hostage.
The one who chased after him all the way was naturally Itachi Uchiha.
The crown of the tree where Itachi was standing was much higher than the branch where Orochi Maru was standing, coupled with Itachi's back against the bright white moon, this caused Itachi's figure to overlap with the shadow of the moon. From Orochi Maru's point of view, Itachi seemed to be standing in the bright moon, giving people a feeling of nobility and inviolability.
Orochi Maru frowned subconsciously.
This feeling made Orochi Maru very uncomfortable, but at the moment he has the advantage, this perfect body in front of him will soon be his, so he suppressed this unhappiness and said with a smile: "It is undeniable that you are really courageous, you dare to chase after me alone, do you think you can defeat me?"
Itachi pulled out a Kunai and placed it in front of him: "I want to try!"
Orochi Maru grabbed Sasuke's neck, his long nails pierced into the flesh, then he licked his lips and said with a smile: "My conditions are very simple, as long as you are willing to hand over the Uchiha Flames, I can even let both of you go."
"Humph, isn't it just coveting the Mangekyou Sharingan of Yanami-senpai!"
Itachi snorted disdainfully in his heart.
Itachi had the same arrogance as the other Uchiha, but his arrogance was hidden even deeper. He helped the village to destroy the entire Uchiha clan that attempted to rebel. Although this was an action that he had no other choice, he had inadvertently placed himself in the position of an arbiter. He used his own values as the yardstick and made a judgment on the clansmen who disagreed with him. This was undoubtedly a kind of arrogance, a kind of arrogance that stood out from the rest.
Orochi Maru's snake-like vertical pupils suddenly contracted!
Just now, Itachi's brief display of emotion made Orochi Maru realize an important piece of information, which was that Itachi actually knew Uchiha Flames. In other words, there really was a genius girl called 'Uchiha Yan' in the Uchiha Clan.
Therefore, Orochi Maru emphasized, "Take the Uchiha Flames in exchange! Otherwise, your beloved brother will become a pile of rotten meat in the belly of a snake! "
After saying that, Orochi Maru's hand that was strangling Sasuke slowly tightened.
"Uh …"
Soon, Sasuke struggled in pain because of the difficulty of breathing. He struggled to hit Orochi Maru's hand that was strangling his neck, but there was no effect at all.
Looking at Sasuke's face was red, his feet were kicking, and he was getting weaker and weaker.
Itachi felt as if he was the one being strangled, his heart was thumping in his chest, and his whole person was immersed in an indescribable feeling.
For Itachi, family and friends were his reverse scale that he could not touch.
And his younger brother Sasuke was under his reverse scale, the sensitive vital part that was protected. Not only could he not be touched, but he could not even let others see him!
If Hyōjin was here, he would definitely ridicule Orochi Maru for seeking death.
Orochimaru obviously also noticed this abnormality, but before he could react, Itachi flashed in front of him with a Body Flicker Technique!
Orochi Maru's expression froze, and he was about to retreat.
Orochi Maru had already tested Itachi's speed limit, so he was sure that Itachi was definitely not this fast. The only explanation was that his perception was affected by the Genjutsu.
Swish …
After all, Orochi Maru was one of the Sannin. Although he was affected by Itachi's Genjutsu, he still reacted in time and used the Body Flicker Technique to retreat to another big tree.
"Your pupil power is so strong?"
At this time, Orochi Maru put away his previous calm, and his face became serious.
Not long ago, he was subdued by Hiruko's Genjutsu, so he knew that as long as the pupil power of the Sharingan was strong enough, even if it was only the Sharingan of the Three Magatama, it would still be difficult for him to resist.
He was not a mediocre person, and now he has realized that the "Undead Reincarnation" secret technique will cause his soul to become chaotic, which will lead to a decline in his resistance to Genjutsu. And this is also the reason why he tried so hard to get a body with the blood of Uchiha. If he also has the Sharingan, then his resistance to Genjutsu will increase a lot.
In that case, this weakness was no longer a big deal.
At this time, Itachi did not look at him, but said to a big tree behind him, "Sasuke, quickly run, I will hold him off!
"Hmm …"
A child's voice came from behind the big tree in the distance.
Orochi Maru frowned and looked at Sasuke in his hand.
Ga ga ga …
However, as soon as his gaze swept over, Sasuke in his hand turned into countless crows and flew away!
"Substitution Technique!?" Startled, Orochi Maru said with an embarrassed expression, "You can actually complete the Substitution Technique under my nose, Itachi, I am even more interested in you now!"
…
On Sasuke's side, he was running with his head down.
Because of excessive nervousness and fear just now, he did not know the direction at all in Orochi Maru's hand, so he was already dizzy. At this moment, he did not know which direction was the direction of the village, so he could only grit his teeth and run as far away as possible from Orochi Maru.
Bang …
Sasuke, who was running wildly, suddenly bumped into something and fell to the ground.
"Hey, so it's you, you arrogant guy!"
He rubbed his forehead, and just as he was trying to see what he had bumped into, a familiar voice came into his ears, so he said, "It's you, why are you here?"
The one who bumped into Sasuke was naturally Naruto, who had just been rescued by Zhishui. He held the back of his head with both hands and said indifferently, "I don't know what happened, but I was brought here. By the way, why are you crying? Did someone bully you? "
Sasuke was shocked and turned around as if he had been electrocuted. While wiping his crying face, he stubbornly said, "Nonsense … I didn't cry at all. It's just that the sky is too dark. You saw wrongly!"
Naruto went around to Sasuke, squatted down, and carefully stared at Sasuke's face. "You're obviously crying!"
Sasuke's face turned red. "No … Don't tell anyone …"
