Chapter 37: There Must Be Some Misunderstanding (2/2)
"However, Sensei..."
"We've been searching this area for so long, yet the team that needed assistance hasn't shown up... Hmm?"
Wakaho suddenly went back into battle mode!
"Sensei, be careful—there are more enemies!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As soon as Wakaho spoke, two figures suddenly appeared. One had a face obscured by a mask but sported orange hair, while the other wore only sunglasses and a hood, exuding a deadly aura.
They were Yūhi Kurama and Yamashiro Tetsuo, two of Root's elite guards under Danzo.
"Orochimaru-sama... Your mission has been altered. Here is the new mission briefing."
Yūhi Kurama extended his hand, and a scroll wrapped in insects flew toward Orochimaru.
"Please decide whether to proceed with the mission. If confirmed, report to Kamino in two days... Uchiha brat! What are you trying to do?"
Noticing Wakaho beginning to form hand seals, Yūhi Kurama shouted.
"Hmph! Two rats in the dark, I can sense your filthy will of darkness even with my eyes closed!"
Wakaho took a deep breath. "Fire Style: Dragon Fire!"
This was Wakaho's most rapid mid-range technique!
"Scatter!"
The two immediately used body flicker technique to disperse. But how could Wakaho let them get away so easily?
His three-tomoe Sharingan had locked onto Yamashiro Tetsuo from the start. The hair color revealed his Yamashiro clan identity, and Wakaho couldn't let him move freely.
Spitting out dragon fire, he relentlessly pursued Yamashiro Tetsuo!
"Uchiha brat, are you defying the village's orders?"
After landing, Yūhi Kurama immediately shouted, forming hand seals to release insects for an attack on Wakaho.
But before he could make a move, a thick killing intent suddenly enveloped him. Yūhi Kurama's heart raced as he glanced at Orochimaru!
"Kurama-kun, please calm down..."
Orochimaru took the scroll, raised his two fingers, and smiled at Yūhi Kurama.
"Wakaho-kun is usually gentle and well-behaved. He wouldn't act out without reason. His reaction today must be due to some cause."
"Kurama-kun, why not wait and see? Let me ask this child."
Well, you better ask quickly!
Yūhi Kurama cursed inwardly, wondering what Orochimaru was up to. He received the scroll but didn't open it—was he going to cooperate with Danzo or not?
"Wakaho-kun?" Orochimaru maintained his smile and looked at Wakaho.
Wakaho stopped his attack but continued his movements.
"He's hiding, Sensei. Give me two minutes, and I'll purify him!"
"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Bullet!"
Whoosh—!
A massive flame dragon materialized out of nowhere. Without even removing his shoes, Wakaho leaped forward, landing firmly on the dragon's head, and then soared upwards!
As Wakaho flew higher, it was clear he was planning to launch a large-scale fire technique to bombard the area.
Yūhi Kurama was in a frenzy, but Orochimaru remained calm and composed.
"Wakaho-kun, Wakaho-kun?"
"Sensei has something to say to you... Wakaho-kun?"
"Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!"
Four dragon heads descended from the sky, unleashing a barrage of attacks on Yamashiro Tetsuo's location!
Orochimaru's smile grew even wider as he turned to Yūhi Kurama, spreading his hands. "Sorry, Kurama-kun."
"This child is a bit busy right now. Perhaps... you could wait a little longer?
