Shua!
Facing the black hand, Kaze Shimura remained calm and activated the Flying Thunder God Technique again.
Seeing this, Sarutobi Nagare let out a cold snort and said,
"Humph, the Flying Thunder God Technique consumes a great deal of chakra. Using it so frequently, I'd like to see how long you can last."
Kaze shrugged his little hands and said with a smile,
"It's not just you who has signed a Summoning Contract, Sarutobi Nagare."
Sarutobi Nagare's face darkened. Without saying a word, he controlled the Ruyi Bang to lengthen and performed a Sweeping motion towards Kaze again.
"Hey, I'll fly again. Just for fun~"
Kaze used the Flying Thunder God Technique once more to create some distance. At the same time, he bit his finger and formed five hand seals, then activated the Summoning Jutsu.
Plop!
The next moment, a Katsuyu fell from the white mist onto Kaze's shoulder.
"What's up, little Kaze?" the Katsuyu asked gently.
"Senior Katsuyu, please lend me some chakra."
While moving around, Kaze politely stated his request to the Katsuyu.
"Sure, no problem."
Katsuyu have the ability to transmit chakra over long distances. The Katsuyu casually transmitted a little bit of chakra from its main body.
For the Slug Sage, it was less than a drop in the bucket, but it completely filled Kaze's body.
"I fly! I fly! I keep flying!"
"Hey, you can't hit me, can't hit me. Nya~"
Kaze kept tossing and catching a kunai. He even jumped onto Sarutobi Nagare's face and then quickly pulled back, which made Sarutobi Nagare so angry that his vision went black and he almost fell to the ground.
"Kaze Shimura, aaaaaah!"
Seeing Sarutobi Nagare gnashing his teeth, Kaze kindly reminded him,
"Brother Sarutobi, don't get so excited, or the poison will spread faster."
"And, while I was flying around just now, I added quite a bit more to it."
This colorless and odorless Poison that is hard to detect is extremely difficult to prepare.
Kaze usually didn't even want to use it!
It was only because he had a good relationship with Sarutobi Nagare that he reluctantly took out some for Sarutobi Nagare to have a good taste of.
"Kaze Shi...!"
At the critical moment, the Ape Spirit reverted to its true form and caught Sarutobi Nagare in its arms.
"You're a child from the Shimura family, right? Nagare is exhausted. Let's end this spar here."
The Ape Spirit sighed and said to Kaze.
"No, I can still..."
Sarutobi Nagare broke free from the Ape Spirit's support and staggered to stand up. But his legs gave way, and he fell back into the Ape Spirit's arms.
"That's enough, Nagare. Stop being so stubborn!" the Ape Spirit scolded sternly.
"If you keep pushing yourself, it will damage your Root and Motoi. What am I supposed to tell Enma and your Dad then!"
Sarutobi Nagare lowered his head and said nothing. Of course he knew what the Ape Spirit was talking about.
But he had made a big fuss to come and cause trouble for Kaze, thinking it would be a piece of cake to suppress him. But in the end, he had been defeated by the other party...
How could his proud self accept this!
"Fine, then let's end it here."
Kaze shrugged his shoulders, showing no disagreement with what Ape Spirit said.
What else could he do but keep going? Could he kill Nagare right in front of Ape Spirit?
Even if he wanted to kill Nagare, it was impossible to do it at this time and in this place.
"Senior Katsuyu, thank you so much just now." Kaze looked at Katsuyu on his shoulder and expressed his gratitude.
Katsuyu said softly, "It's no trouble at all. I'll go back first. Call me anytime if you have something."
"Okay, goodbye, Senior Katsuyu."
"Goodbye, little Kaze."
After seeing off Katsuyu, Kaze walked up to Nagare and looked down at him.
"I should have won our fight just now, right? So, what's the plan next?"
With the help of Ape Spirit, Nagare managed to straighten up, gritted his teeth and said,
"I admit I'm not as good as you this time. I'll take my men and leave soon. Are you satisfied?"
Kaze nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said,
"Nagare Sarutobi, there is no conflict of interest between you and me. Instead, we belong to the same camp."
"I hope our score can end here. It won't do any good to either of us if we keep fighting."
Nagare Sarutobi's expression softened. Under Kaze's gaze, he finally nodded.
"You're right. Let's just end it here."
The two of them walked out of the Root's gate side by side.
Nagare didn't say a word and led his subordinates away.
It was obvious who had won and who had lost.
All the Root members looked at Kaze with pride and honor.
Our young master has overpowered the son of the Hokage. Just ask around, who else can do this?
On the other side.
The Anbu ninjas who came and went in a hurry were in low spirits.
Nagare was even more frustrated.
At this time, an Anbu member jumped down from the wall and whispered something in Nagare's ear.
"Great! We've finally got this guy's proof!"
Nagare swept away the previous gloom, and a happy look appeared on his face instantly.
He had found a target to vent his anger on!
"Immediately assemble all the squads and follow me to arrest Orochimaru!"
Beside Nagare, an Anbu ninja said worriedly,
"Master, don't we need to report to the Hokage-sama?"
Nagare shook his head and said coldly,
"No need. I'm afraid Dad will be soft-hearted and give Orochimaru time to destroy the proof."
"Capture Orochimaru directly. When we catch him red-handed with the evidence, we'll escort him to Dad together."
All the Anbu ninjas replied in unison, "Yes!"
Bang!
Hiruzen slapped the table heavily, picked up the pipe on the table, and smashed it hard at Nagare.
"You stupid fool! Who allowed you to take action against Orochimaru without permission? Did you ask me (this old man) beforehand?!"
Nagare's face turned deathly pale.
At this moment, Nagare also realized that he had made a wrong decision when his emotions got the better of him.
Nagare started to explain, his voice trembling.
"Dad, Orochimaru violated Konoha's regulations and conducted human experiments in private. He..."
Hiruzen interrupted Nagare and angrily scolded, "Shut up, you idiot!"
Was Hiruzen really unaware of the experiments Orochimaru conducted and the 'bad deeds' Tanzō did?
It was just that Tanzō 'kept it from' him, so he could 'turn a blind eye' with a clear conscience. That's all!
"What an idiot! How could I, Hiruzen Sarutobi, have such a dumb son!"
"Look at Tanzō's son!"
Earlier, the two kids, along with their two forces, had a conflict. He closely monitored the situation for a whole morning.
He didn't feel relieved until the conflict died down and both sides withdrew, and then he started dealing with the backlog of official business.
Who would have thought that half an hour later, he received the news.
His so - called good son led a group to arrest Orochimaru, only to be wiped out by the latter and then fled Konoha!
Hiruzen was fuming now. Just looking at Nagare's face got on his nerves.
There was clearly room for negotiation in this matter, but this fool acted on his own and drove Orochimaru to defect!
Konoha had lost a powerful and genius researcher who knew countless secrets and was extremely powerful!
At this moment, Nagare also felt secretly resentful.
You know, Dad had never scolded him like this before.
And now, all of this...
"It's all your fault, Kaze Shimura!"
"If you hadn't made me lose my judgment, how could I have made such a foolish move!"
