Chapter 106 Danzo: Orochimaru, I Will Help You Deal with Sand Village!
At dawn on the border of the Rain Country, the new day did not welcome the sun.
But even the continuous cold rain could not disperse the bloody smell in the air.
"Hiss!"
Five huge snakes were rampant on the battlefield.
It turned this place into a bloody millstone, with weapons, blood and meat everywhere.
The purple-striped and largest python in the center of the battlefield was the most terrifying.
"Ah!!"
The Sand Ninjas who smelled the stench looked up and saw the bloody mouth that suddenly opened. They instantly screamed with their hair standing on end.
They had no time to retreat and were swallowed directly. Only the slightly wriggling snake neck could prove their existence.
Boom! !
There were also several spotted pythons around. The terrifying body just swung its tail at will, and the power it caused was equivalent to a very strong ninjutsu.
But even so, the Sand Village ninjas still did not flinch, and they roared and rushed forward like moths to a flame.
"Kill! For the future of the Wind Country!!"
The next moment, the Sand Village ninja who roared and rushed forward with the intention of a sneak attack was hit by the thick snake tail.
He flew backwards at an incredible speed, hit the rock wall and turned into a blurry blood mud, and was soon washed into the bloody water by the rain.
"Orochimaru!"
The purple snake flicked its tail and swept away the attacking ants. Feeling the stinging pain in its tail, it spoke in a cold voice: "Are these humans crazy? I can't eat anymore!"
"Many snakes, isn't this exactly what you want?"
Orochimaru stood on the head of the purple snake, his whole body soaked in blood, and said gloomily on his pale face: "Endless old woman! This is the third suicide attack recently!!"
Having signed a summoning contract with the "Three Holy Lands" Ryuchidong, it is obvious what he can do on the battlefield.
The giant summoning beast plus its own snake-type ninjutsu and the flexible five-element ninjutsu are like a human meat grinder on the battlefield.
However, the attack frequency of the Sand Village troops is too high.
Orochimaru doesn't know what the situation is like on the River Country battlefield on Hatake Sakumo's side, but the offensive of the Sand Village on his side in the Rain Country battlefield is getting more and more fierce.
Even Wanshe, who had always asked him to offer hundreds of people to him, was now so full of food that he almost vomited because of the Sand Ninjas.
Especially since he swallowed a bunch of puppets with every bite, although Wanshe himself was resistant to most poisons, the experience was like eating rice mixed with sand, which really made Wanshe feel uncomfortable, nauseous and upset.
"This damn human!"
Wanshe hissed and spit out his tongue, opened his snake eyes and growled coldly: "Orochimaru! I can't stand it anymore. If you don't do it, I will throw you down!!"
The Sand Ninjas' sharp wind escapes were sprayed one after another, and the kunai with detonating tags were constantly aimed at Wanshe.
With such an attack frequency, even if it had thick skin, it was pierced through the skin and flesh, and the tail was already bleeding!
Obviously, the Sand Ninjas knew very well that they had to completely defeat Orochimaru before they could break through the defense line established here, and then rush into the Land of Fire in one go to seize everything rich there.
"I know!"
Looking down at the Sand Ninjas below, feeling the little chakra left, Orochimaru gritted his teeth and reached out to touch the huge scroll behind him.
Bang!
As a burst of thick white smoke exploded, when the Sand Ninjas below looked up, they heard a shrill sound of breaking through the air!
I saw Orochimaru throwing a man-high wind demon shuriken, and then he put his hands in front of him and began to quickly form seals.
Chou! Xu! Chen! Zi! Xu! Hai! Si! Yin!
"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!!" Orochimaru roared.
In an instant, the original shrill sound of breaking through the air turned into an endless hissing, followed by the shrill screams of humans!
"Ah!!"
Countless wind demon shurikens smashed into the Sand Village ninjas below, and blood gushed out from the broken bodies. The originally gloomy black rain seemed to turn into scarlet blood rain.
The little chakra left by Orochimaru was finally completely consumed at this moment.
"Orochimaru! I have to go back to digest it. Don't disturb my rest recently!"
Amid the burping and threatening sounds of Manzaka, several big snakes including Manzaka disappeared after a burst of white smoke.
"Those stinky snakes are gone!"
"All of you charge!"
"Kill!"
Seeing this, the Sand Village ninjas, who were already very crazy, became more excited. With red eyes and hoarse voices, they rushed towards the defense line of Konoha Ninja.
However, the Sand Village, which suffered heavy losses, was obviously no longer in the advantage in terms of numbers. Even if the giant summoned beasts that were the biggest threat had been solved, they were still killed and injured by the remaining Konoha Ninjas.
However, under the suicidal charge of Sand Village without regard for casualties, the damage on the Konoha side increased at a visible speed.
Orochimaru, whose chakra had been completely depleted, exuded a cold murderous aura and a fishy smell all over his body, and retreated to the rear tent of the defense line without looking back.
The Konoha ninjas who passed by him couldn't help but tremble, subconsciously showing a look of fear and then looking away in an instant.
They knew that Lord Orochimaru was trying to protect Konoha and the Land of Fire, but their bodies would still have a physiological reaction of fear that was difficult to restrain, especially when they thought of Orochimaru's extremely bloody and treacherous methods.
It was a kind of fear without reason, like the cold feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake.
The perceptive Orochimaru naturally noticed it, but he didn't care about what those people thought at all.
Or rather, he couldn't care at all.
This was not the first time he did this.
Every time, he summoned a snake to clean up the battlefield, and when his chakra was exhausted, he would rationally withdraw, allowing other Konoha ninjas to directly attack, not giving the Sand Village any chance to surround and kill him.
He knew very well that with the increasingly fierce offensive of the Sand Village, as long as they could stop the Sand Village in the Land of Rain and stabilize the defense line, they would win.
Therefore, he, who was forced to become the commander-in-chief, must not die in front of the people of Konoha.
Leading the charge sounds very passionate, but it is actually not a rational choice.
Once he was beheaded in public, the morale of the Konoha ninjas would fall to the bottom, and Konoha's defense line would definitely collapse instantly.
For this reason, no matter what means he used, or how many people he sacrificed, it was not within his consideration.
Summoning summoned beasts from the Ryuchi Cave to fight at a high frequency, Orochimaru had no chakra left in his body, and the Sand Village did not intend to give him time to adjust and rest.
All he could do now was to replenish the exhausted chakra as soon as possible before the next attack from the Sand Village!
This is a necessary sacrifice!
Bang! !
"Damn it!"
After returning to the tent, Orochimaru, who was always rational, slammed his fist on the table under the gaze of the concerned, worried or fearful senior ninjas, and cursed: "Those bastards in Sand Village are really crazy!!"
Even though he knew that this was a necessary sacrifice, watching hundreds and thousands of lives die still made him feel colder and colder in his heart, and a sense of powerlessness gradually eroded his body.
I thought that because of a moment of negligence and relaxation, watching Rope Tree die in front of him was already the most painful time for me, but I didn't expect it was just the beginning of a nightmare.
Watching countless people die helplessly, he felt that his perception of life became more and more indifferent, and his feeling of the fragility of human life became more and more profound.
It seems that as long as he can exchange a small number of casualties on his side for a large number of casualties on the enemy, he can now take people as sacrifices for granted.
Life has become a bargaining chip and chess piece for each other.
"Lord Orochimaru, this is also a helpless choice."
Looking at Orochimaru's angry look, a Konoha jonin could only comfort him: "We have been prepared since the moment we went to the battlefield."
It's easy to say.
However, knowing that they were going to die, but having to do it was not easy. The psychological pressure to bear was as heavy as a thousand pounds, no less than the pressure on the body.
"I know."
Orochimaru waved his hand exhaustedly, took a deep breath and regained his calmness, looking at the jonin in charge of communication and said: "Didn't the village reply that support was on the way? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"
If this goes on, they won't be able to hold on for long.
The Sand Village troops no longer carried out the combat strategy of the squad, but began to directly send out small groups of ninja troops, regardless of losses, and rushed forward almost frantically, obviously not satisfied with the victory or defeat of local combat.
The puppeteer troops mass-produced by Chiyo's rough training have successfully offset the difference in numbers between the two sides, and even to some extent, let the Sand Village surpass Konoha.
This high-pressure strategy of hurting oneself and the enemy by 800 gave Orochimaru, who was forced to become the commander-in-chief, a headache. He was basically planning to beat the master to death with random punches.
"Not sure." The senior ninja in charge of communication was also a little irritated, "There is no news over there. I even suspect that the village has been invaded..."
Just then, a middle ninja in charge of emergency communication broke into the tent.
"Lord Orochimaru!" He shouted to Orochimaru and everyone with a happy face, "Elder Danzo has brought the Anbu to support."
Danzo?
Hearing this name, Orochimaru and the senior ninjas couldn't help but change their faces.
"Danzo?" Orochimaru held his forehead and said in an irritable tone, "Why did the teacher send that guy here? What use can such a small number of people under him be?"
After the voice fell, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a gloomy voice entered everyone's ears before the figure.
"Humph! Of course I can help you solve the Sand Village!"
