Chapter 110 Ten Thousand Snakes Luo
The ground began to shake.
The crowd began to scream.
The shadow spread rapidly, like a black wave crashing down the mountainside. As people drew closer, they gradually made out what was in the shadow.
snake!
Vast swathes of snakes, countless and densely packed!
Whether they were from Iwagakure or Konoha, at this moment, facing the swarm of snakes in the shadows, everyone felt their scalp tingle and their hearts tremble.
Too much!
In the shadows, snakes of all sizes writhed and twisted, moving swiftly while emitting hissing sounds that stunned everyone present.
Whether genin or chunin, all felt an uncontrollable fear when faced with an overwhelming sea of snakes. Even jonin felt the urge to turn and run at that moment.
"Boom! Boom!"
One snake, two snakes—millions upon millions of snakes gathered together, and the ground began to tremble slightly.
The ninjas screamed in alarm.
They wanted to escape, but being in low-lying areas, they couldn't outrun the rapidly spreading sea of snakes.
They wanted to retaliate with ninjutsu, but the Konoha ninjas were entangled in one place, making it difficult to distinguish friend from foe. Moreover, the ninjas' chakra was almost completely exhausted, making it impossible for them to form a large force.
In despair, the sea of snakes roared past!
The Konoha ninjas trembled, some gripping their kunai tightly, others closing their eyes. As the sea of snakes spread around them, they were surprised to find that these snakes, large and small, did not attack them; in fact, they would detour around them as they passed by.
Only tangled snakes or large snakes that are out of control will pass by them, leaving a sticky feeling on their ankles before quickly moving on.
The ninjas of Iwagakure were in a terrible predicament.
A sea of snakes swept past, and snakes of all sizes bared their fangs at them.
Snakes with triangular heads can inject venom.
The pythons would coil and twist around them, some as thick as buckets, and some would even swallow Iwagakure ninjas whole.
Hearing the enemy's screams and wails, the Konoha ninjas gradually widened their eyes.
What's going on? Can this snake even distinguish between friend and foe?
Although they were still afraid, the Konoha ninjas gradually straightened up after realizing there was no danger.
They watched in a sea of snakes sweep past and engulf the Iwagakure ninja, and were deeply shocked.
Lord Orochimaru, how many enemies can you take down in one go?
"retreat!"
"withdraw!!!"
"Everyone, retreat!!"
The Jonin from Iwagakure let out a hoarse roar. They sent out a signal, ordering everyone to retreat immediately.
Orochimaru's methods are too powerful!
When both sides were exhausted from the heavy casualties of the battle, such a terrifying sea of snakes suddenly appeared. If they delayed any longer, all the low-level ninjas would be left here.
Upon hearing the order from their superiors, the Iwagakure ninja, who could no longer hold out, quickly retreated.
The phrase "discarding armor and weapons" became a vivid description at this moment. Whether it was ninja tool pouches or shuriken headbands, none of the Iwagakure ninja cared at that moment; they wished they could retreat with all their might.
They ignored the screams and cries for help from their companions behind them and fled quickly.
Run as much as you can!
The battle is over.
Looking at the Iwagakure ninja fleeing in panic all over the mountains, everyone understood this.
Maybe ten minutes, maybe twenty minutes.
The surviving members of the Hidden Stone Village quickly disappeared from the battlefield. After the snake swarm also vanished, only piles of corpses remained on the ground.
Of these, nearly a quarter were enemy soldiers who died in Orochimaru's sea of snakes due to excessive consumption of energy.
Hundreds of people!
One technique caused the deaths of hundreds of ninjas.
Some admired it, while others feared it.
Some people are grateful to have survived the ordeal.
After confirming that she was safe, Kanako threw down the kunai she was holding and, amidst the surprised gazes of the crowd and the envious looks of Muto Saika, clung tightly to Shinzuki Seiun.
No matter how much Shenyue Xingyun tried to persuade her, she wouldn't come down.
In her words, the battle was over and they would soon be returning to their respective camps, not knowing when they would meet again, so they should cherish every minute and second they spent together.
Even if her parents were here, they couldn't stop her, let alone what other people thought.
What she said actually made a lot of sense. Not long after, the Jonin in the camp began to organize and gather the surviving ninjas.
Kanako reluctantly parted ways with Shinzuki Seiun, who kept comforting her, saying that after she became a Chunin captain and her area of operation expanded, she would go to her camp to find her. Only then did Kanako give up.
After gathering the ninjas, rescuing the wounded, and burying the bodies, it was already late at night when the camp finally quieted down again.
The wounded cried out in pain throughout the camp, but the ninjas quickly fell asleep in this environment, recovering their strength which was already nearing its limit.
The group didn't sleep for long; they were woken up early the next morning by a ninja who was delivering the order.
"Go to headquarters, Lord Orochimaru wants to see you."
After a quick packing, led by a messenger ninja, the group arrived at the main tent, where Shingetsu Seiun finally met the legendary Sannin Orochimaru for the first time.
Inside the main tent, several Jonin and Orochimaru stood together in front of the map. Orochimaru was dressed in ninja armor and had a calm expression.
After entering, the three waited quietly, even Sarutobi Asuma looked somewhat reserved. Having witnessed the terrifying sea of snakes yesterday, he felt even more pressure facing Orochimaru than facing the Hokage.
After looking at the map for a while, Orochimaru turned to examine the three of them, lingering particularly on Shingetsu Seiun's face, his snake-like eyes showing obvious surprise.
His voice had a unique husky quality: "You all did a very good job."
"I've reviewed the battle logs. You detected the enemy's attacks in time twice in a row, and you were the only sentry to sound the alarm yesterday."
"very good."
Before anyone could respond, he continued, "Yesterday's warning will be recorded as merit for an A-rank mission. Everyone will be reinstated to Chunin status."
Sarutobi Asuma's face immediately lit up with joy.
Restoring Chunin status is one aspect, but more importantly, it's the merit earned from an A-rank mission. This is genuine frontline combat merit.
"Kamizuki Seiun, promoted to Special Jonin."
Sarutobi Asuma's smile froze on his face.
Shingetsu Seiun was also somewhat surprised. He had only recently become a Chunin, and the other party had promoted him to Special Jonin with just a casual remark?
He looked up in surprise and found that several Jonin in the tent also had strange expressions, but none of them voiced any objection.
Orochimaru's lips curled into a smile-like expression: "I've seen your performance; you're quite strong."
Shingetsu Seiun respectfully said, "Thank you, Lord Orochimaru."
Orochimaru didn't waste too much time with them. After announcing the new defense zone appointments, the three left the main tent.
Throughout the journey, Sarutobi Asuma kept his head down as much as possible, not wanting the two of them to see his unhappiness.
He knew that Shenyue Xingyun was stronger and performed better than him, and had even saved him several times, but he was still unhappy.
"Asuma, why aren't you saying anything?"
"Nebula has been promoted to Special Jonin, aren't you happy?" Kurenai Yuhi asked from the side.
Sarutobi Asuma immediately looked up and forced a smile that was neither good nor bad: "No."
"I'm very happy."
