However, Endless Night could still see Orochimaru's restlessness. After all, this operation was entrusted with two of his dreams.
One was to kill the third generation Naruto and overturn the Kiba Ninja Village, and the other was to get Sasuke Uchiha and get the Shurunan.
Because he had already done a detailed study of the Shurun Eye, he even made an arm that was made entirely of Shurun Eye and gave it to Shimura Tanzou. Therefore, he knew very well that it was very difficult to fully control the Shurun Eye without the blood of the Uchiha family.
After failing to attack Uchiha Weasel and Nagato, Orochimaru had no choice but to target Uchiha Sasuke who was in the wooden leaf. Although the child was still very weak, the potential of Shurunyan was endless, so Orochimaru did not mind occupying Uchiha Sasuke's body.
"Let's go. Keep up and don't fall behind.”
Seeing Endless Night and the others nod their heads, Orochimaru didn't waste any more time and immediately took the lead to start the journey.
The ninjas were still very fast. Although there was a huge difference in the level of the team, from Shadow-level to Genin, the ninjas were not slow at all even if they were moving on foot.
Endless Night and the other three were quite relaxed following this speed. After all, if White and Peach Land didn't slash, they would have long gotten used to a life of running around. As for Endless Night, it was needless to say. He had run quite a bit in the past.
The only one worth worrying about was Naruto, whose endurance was unexpectedly strong. If the four of them were together, running would not be a problem.
They walked and stopped along the way. In less than two days, they had arrived somewhere in the Fire Country. As for the exact location, Ye Weiyang wasn't very sure. However, since this was the location that Hidden Sound Village and Hidden Sand Village had agreed on, it should be located in the hinterland of the Fire Country.
After all, neither side would agree to meet near the other side's nest. The Hidden Sound Village was in the Country of Tian, the Hidden Sand Village was in the Country of Wind, and the Hidden Leaf Village was in the Country of Fire. If they chose a place that both sides could accept, it would naturally be in the middle of the Country of Fire.
The environment here was not bad. There were all kinds of farmland and forests. Orochimaru ordered the ninjas of Yin Yin Village to set up camp here, but the location was relatively remote and far away from human habitation.
In fact, there were not many people from Hidden Sound Village who came this time. After all, there were only so many ninjas in the entire Hidden Sound Village who could participate in a battle of this level. There were only a few dozen people here, so they were not very eye-catching.
After setting up camp in the forest, everyone began to spread out their vigilance. After all, this was the territory of the Fire Country. Although the defensive range of the Hidden Village could not be extended from the Hidden Village to this place, Orochimaru understood the principle of being careful.
After all, the reason why he was expelled from the village last time was because he wasn't careful enough and exposed his experiment to the third-generation Eye Fire Shadow. If it wasn't for his teacher, the third-generation Eye Fire Shadow, who remembered their old relationship, he would have died immediately.
After such an experience, Orochimaru was naturally much more careful. Just like now, he had quietly accumulated power in Hidden Sound Village for such a long time, but Kinoha Village still did not know anything.
"Are the people from Hidden Sand Village not here yet?"
Inside the tent, Peachland Alive asked Endless Night in boredom.
"It's obvious. They haven't arrived yet, but looking at Orochimaru's current condition, there shouldn't be any problems. Perhaps the Yin Yin Village came early.”
Endless Night replied casually. Actually, he didn't know when Orochimaru and the 4th Generation Windshade broke up, but it was definitely before the exam, and Endless Night wasn't sure if it was this time.
"We'll know when we see how many people from Hidden Sand Village come.”
Endless Night calmed his restless companions. He knew that if there were not many people from Hidden Sand Village, then the fourth generation Wind Shadow would most likely be in danger.
The main force of Hidden Sound Village camped for two days, but the people of Hidden Sand Village still did not come. This made the hearts of the ninjas of Hidden Sound Village start to waver.
However, Orochimaru didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. It was obvious that he had already expected this. Since Orochimaru, the leader, wasn't in a hurry, the other Enin naturally couldn't do anything about it. They could only obediently accompany him.
Endless Night felt that the development of the situation was very strange. He had used the Divination Crystal [Prophet] to make a prophecy. The news he received was that the people of Hidden Sand Village would come.
However, according to Endless Night's prophecy, the 4th generation Wind Shadow's current location was clearly within the Wind Country. It would take them at least two to three days to reach this place.
This made Endless Night very confused. After all, he had already waited for two days. Orochimaru had actually come four or five days early. What was the reason for this?
Endless Night didn't think that Orochimaru had come a few days earlier to show his respect because he was polite or because he valued the fourth-generation successor, Wind Shadow.
From Orochimaru's performance, it was obvious that he had come early and not because the fourth generation Kazuki had stood him up.
Moreover, there was no need for the fourth-generation Kazuki to do this. It would not do him any good to deliberately embarrass Orochimaru. After all, the situation of the hidden sand village was already quite difficult. He did not need to make another enemy for the hidden sand village.
Therefore, Endless Night knew that Orochimaru probably had no good intentions. The scene that Endless Night had predicted also proved that the 4th Generation Wind Shadow seemed to have gone back on his word, because there were not many ninjas with him.
Perhaps Orochimaru had already received the news. It could have been a spy, or it could have been the fourth generation's Feng Ying who had taken the initiative to inform him. In short, the reason why Orochimaru had come early was probably to dig a burial ground for the fourth generation's Feng Ying.
On the third day, Endless Night's guess was confirmed. The people from Hidden Sand Village still hadn't come, but another important person had appeared.
That person was Medicine Master Dou. Although he was still unknown at the moment, he would be a great person in the future.
Medicine Master Dou's arrival confirmed Endless Night's guess. This guy was actually the third strongest fighter in Hidden Sound Village. Although Medicine Master Dou was Kuroba's Genin, he was actually one of the strongest Jounin.
If it was not to deal with someone, Orochimaru actually did not need to summon him from Kinoba Village. After all, this was a very critical period. Calling Medicine Master over would instead increase the risk of him being exposed.
"Oh? Isn't this Naruto? Why are you here? Weren't you already killed in the Country of Waves?”
After seeing Naruto, Yakushi Dou was very surprised. He obviously did not expect Naruto to appear in their group.
"If you take a closer look, isn't the person beside you the wanted killer? Although the portrait was far from being as handsome as the real person.”
Medicine Master Dou looked at Ye Weiyang and continued to say so. The information he revealed was similar to Ye Weiyang's guess.
Naruto's death was probably impossible to hide. After all, Naruto was a very famous guy in Kinoba Village. Countless pairs of eyes were watching him.
Moreover, his death was definitely a sharp weapon for those who wanted to attack the third generation Eye Fire Shadow. They would definitely not let go of this opportunity.
As for Endless Night's appearance, he had been seen by Kakashi's seventh class. Endless Night had not disguised himself, so of course he would be wanted. However, what he had not expected was that the drawing looked quite similar. Medicine Master Dou had actually recognized him at first glance.
"What? Who are you? I don't think I know you."
Naruto didn't feel any sense of familiarity with this person who was also wearing a wooden leaf forehead protector. Although in fact, if he was found to be still alive, he would definitely be labeled as a traitor. However, he felt that there was still some difference between him and the spy in front of him.
"It's normal that you don't know me. After all, I'm just a little Genin, and you're the notorious demon fox.”
Yakushito spread his hands. He did not find it strange that Naruto did not know him. After all, they did not actually have much interaction. The reason why he knew Naruto was simply because Naruto's " demon fox " name was relatively famous.
“......”
Naruto's face tensed up. He felt that this guy in front of him seemed to be provoking him.
"Dou, these people are all our companions now. Don't be so rude.”
Orochimaru, who was talking to Akatsuya Junmaro, sharply noticed the tense atmosphere here. He took the initiative to mediate.
Endless Night's heart skipped a beat. It was unbelievable that Orochimaru would take the initiative to defend them.
He felt that Orochimaru might want him and Momochi to not kill the two of them and participate in the plan to kill the fourth generation Windshade. That was why he was so friendly now.
"Are you sure? Lord Orochimaru? This Naruto? He's just a Genin, and he's famous for being at the bottom of the rankings this year. Can he be of any help to our cause?”
Yakushito put on a ridiculous expression and continued to attack Naruto verbally. It felt like he was deliberately trying to provoke Naruto.
If it was an ordinary person, they would definitely think that Medicine Master Dou had such a personality when they first met. They would think that there was nothing particularly strange about him doing this.
However, Ye Weiyang knew that Medicine Master Dou was as cunning as Orochimaru, so how could he be so easily fooled?
Although Medicine Master Dou's performance was very realistic, even Bai and Tao Di no longer saw that it was his performance. Instead, they were somewhat angered by his words. After all, this guy's words felt like he was looking down on them.
" The truth is not like what you said. Dori, Naruto is still very strong. Onimaru, Saka, Yoshika, Tayoya, and Jiro won't be able to defeat Naruto. The others are also very strong, so don't invite trouble for yourself.”
Orochimaru refuted Yakushi Dou's words and affirmed the strength of Naruto and the others. To a certain extent, he won the favor of Naruto, Momochi, No Longer Slash, and White.
"I don't believe it unless Naruto fights me.”
Medicine Master Dou seemed to be addicted to acting. He was still pestering Naruto, acting as if it was real.
"Why would I be afraid of you?"
Naruto was really provoked. He agreed immediately. He was young and full of vigor. He was not afraid at all.
"Spiral Ball!"
Naruto didn't hold back against Yakushi Dou, this annoying fellow. He immediately used a spiraling ball to greet him.
Meanwhile, Yakushito's performance was not very good. He did not react in time and took Naruto's Spiral Ball head-on.
“呯!”
Naruto pressed the spiral-shaped pill on Yakushido's stomach. He did not hold back at all. The spiral-shaped pill exploded on Yakushido's stomach.
However, the battle did not end as easily as Naruto had expected. After being hit by this move, Yakushi Dou immediately waved his hand and attacked him.
Naruto hurriedly retreated, but he could not dodge in time. His chest was slashed open by the other party.
"How could that be? The spiral pill didn't work?”
Naruto looked at Yakushito's abdomen, where smoke was sizzling out. There was no scene of skin and flesh being torn as he had imagined.
"Your attack is too easy to see through. Before you attacked me, I had gathered the chakras in my abdomen. The moment I was attacked, I had already begun to heal crazily. Your attack was offset by my healing, so it naturally did not hurt or itch.”
Medicine Master Dou had a smile on his face. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with this ninjutsu technique that he had created himself.
This move was called " Yin Healing and Wound Destruction ", an A-grade medical ninjutsu created by Medicine Master Dou. Through keen observation, he could grasp the enemy's attack location in advance and heal it before the enemy attacked, thus reducing the damage received to the minimum.
This might be the legendary " Relativistic Theory of Ninja Realm ". As long as I heal fast enough, your attacks won't be able to hurt me!
As for whether it was scientific or not, Endless Night no longer doubted it. After all, he had already demonstrated the effects.
Indeed, everything could be explained by the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. The power of science was great.
"This is too shameless. This move of yours can simply make you invincible.”
Naruto tore off his shirt that had been cut open. He was half-naked as he said speechlessly.
"You're not bad yourself. Aren't my attacks useless now?”
Medicine Master Dou looked at the red mark on Naruto's chest. It was a wound that had been bleeding just now. Although it was not very deep, it was definitely not a wound that could heal immediately. However, there was only a red mark left now.
"We've only spoken a few words, but you're much more powerful than me. Is this the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox?”
Medicine Master adjusted his glasses and squinted at Naruto. This guy was completely different from the Naruto he knew before.
"That's right. After all, I'm a 'demon fox'. Don't you know me that way?”
Naruto replied with a smile, but his smile was not so kind.
Naruto pulled out his weapon and rushed toward Yakushi again without saying anything.
Medicine Master Dou also welcomed him without fear. He was actually very good at close combat. After all, his best ninjutsu was the chakra scalpel.
He had reached the acme of perfection in this ninjutsu. In terms of medical ninjutsu talent, even if Medicine Master Dou was not as good as Okami, he was not much worse. Moreover, his talent was not only in medical ninjutsu. After all, he was the person who could later cultivate the Snake Immortal Technique of Dragon Cave.
Naruto slashed at Yakushi Dou's left shoulder. His intention was to slash his opponent diagonally. This slash did not grasp the essence of Endless Night's saber technique. Endless Night gave Naruto a zero for this slash.
As expected, this not-so-essential knife was dodged by Yakushito. He turned his hand and swung it at Naruto's neck. The chakra scalpel that was emitting a blue light was very sharp. It was easy to cut Naruto's throat.
If he were to suffer such an attack, even if the Nine-tailed Fox's Chakra and the Whirlpool Race's physique recovery was strong, they would probably not be able to save him.
Therefore, Naruto immediately pulled back his strength to defend. He was once again forced back by the Yakushido. This time, the Yakushido did not continue to stay. Instead, he stuck close to him. The chakra scalpel in his hand kept waving, and every move was aimed at Naruto's important meridians.
This might be the benefit of studying medicine. When fighting, one would know where to fight and where to fight. A rough person like Naruto only knew how to hit his stomach. Although he would definitely die if his stomach was pierced, it would seem like he was at a disadvantage.
"Puchi!"
At the risk of being injured, Naruto forced back Yakushito, who was closing in on him step by step, and pulled away from him again.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
Only then did Naruto realize why he wasn't playing smoothly. It turned out that he had forgotten to use the group fight tactic.
“......”
"What an abnormal chakra…"
The corners of Yakushi's mouth twitched. He was obviously shocked by Naruto's traditional cooking skills. After all, there was no one else in the entire Ninja Realm who could create so many shadow clones like Naruto.
"Water Evasion-Great Waterfall Technique!"
Although he was most proficient in medical ninjutsu, Yakushido was also a water ninja. His water ninjutsu was not bad, but it would be a bit of an understatement to say that it was not bad. After all, this was the water ninjutsu that could suppress Sasuke Uchiha's fireball three years later.
In the face of Naruto's human wave tactics, Yakushi Dou cleverly chose to use the Ninjutsu of ranged attacks. Compared to those who insisted on fighting with so many clones, he was much smarter.
"Boom!"
The fierce water current pushed towards Naruto's clone army, and soon, the clones were pushed to the ground.呯!呯!”It turned into white smoke and disappeared.
However, compared to the total number of Naruto's clone army, the number of water balls that were destroyed by the Water Escape·Great Waterfall Technique was only a fraction.
Therefore, even though Medicine Master Dou had chosen a smart way to deal with the situation, he still couldn't avoid being surrounded and beaten up by the crowd tactic.
"Pfft! Puchi! Puchi!"
“呯!呯!呯!”
Naruto's long saber kept leaving wounds on Medicine Master Dou's body, and his clones were constantly being destroyed by Medicine Master Dou.
Although there were not many chances for Naruto to hit Yakushi's pocket, and instead his doppelgangers were constantly being destroyed, Naruto could continue to fight in this way.
Even though Medicine Master Dou had mastered the bug-like ninjutsu of Yin Healing and Wounds Annihilation, his chakra capacity was limited. He could not use this move all the time because the premise of rapid healing was to pour in a large amount of chakras.
