The sound of fighting in the forest unconsciously accelerated myself. When I rushed out of the forest and saw the safe and sound blonde figure standing in the ruins, my original anxious moment instantly calmed down... You are fine...

Just when I was about to come forward to call her, another figure with long black hair attracted all my attention. My previously calm mood boiled again, and the burning heat coming from my neck made me rush up desperately!

"Finally found you! Orochimaru!!"

This shout made the two present turn their heads at the same time.

Mina turned around and opened her mouth lightly: "Hongdou..."

"..." Looking at the red beans that suddenly jumped out, Orochimaru smiled and said nothing, "Yuhi's disciple... It's been a long time since I saw you..."

Ignoring Hongdou's glare, Orochimaru smiled and jumped into the jungle with a leap.

"Don't run!" Seeing Orochimaru escape, Hongdou hurriedly chased after him.

"Wait! Hongdou!" For fear that Hongdou would make any mistakes, Mina hurriedly chased after him.

The three of them used their strength to shuttle through the forest. Just when Hongdou felt that he was about to be unable to keep up, Orochimaru stopped on a tree pole, turned around and smiled at Hongdou and said with a wicked smile: "Hmph~, it's been a long time since I saw you, Hongdou..."

Gritting his teeth to hold back the anger in his heart, Hongdou stepped forward, grabbed a few flying needles between his fingers, and said, "You have already loaded the super dangerous person on the S-level wanted book! So I want to defeat you here! Because this is for you to impart all your knowledge, my mission as your subordinate! Orochimaru!"

"Stop it! Hongdou! He is not something you can deal with!" Mizuna fell not far from Hongdou and shouted

"Minaka! Please! This is my own battle! Don't interfere!"

‘Hongdou…’ Looking at the usual carefree back in front of you, he seemed so serious at this moment… ‘You shouldn’t bear such a heavy burden, Hongdou…’

Orochimaru looked at Hongdou and smiled strangely: "Hmph~, that little girl is right, this is impossible, Hongdou..."

"How do you know if you haven't tried it!" He grabbed Fei Needle, and Hongdou raised his right hand...

At this moment, Orochimaru opened his mouth and his tongue bounced out like a missile to hit Hongdou. Hongdou jumped over Orochimaru's tongue and jumped onto the tree pole and slid for several meters. Just as he was about to throw out the flying needle, his hand was entangled by Orochimaru's tongue, and his whole person was pulled down from the tree.

"Tsk!" Adjust your posture in the air, squatted on the ground with both feet. Hongdou raised his empty left hand and faced Orochimaru: "Scarlet Snake Hand!!"

Four black snakes flew out from the red bean cuffs and wrapped around Orochimaru's body. "I won't let you run away!" As he said that, he stretched out his hand and pulled Orochimaru over and threw it on the trunk behind him.

‘With this now!’ Hongdou retracted the black snake on her cuffs, rushed to Orochimaru and grabbed his right hand, took out a kunai and his hand and nailed it to the tree.

"Hongdou!" Seeing Hongdou's fighting style that hurts the enemy, Mina couldn't help but shout out.

"Haha, I've caught you! Orochimaru, lend your left hand to use it..." A smile of relief was revealed, Hongdou pulled Orochimaru's left hand with his right hand and made a seal.

"This seal is..." Seeing this handprint, Orochimaru's pupils couldn't help but a hint of surprise flashed.

"Yes, you want to die here with me!" The eyes were so clear that Hongdou smiled slightly... It's over!...'Nervous method·Two ​​snakes kill each other...'

"Ba~!" Just as Hongdou was about to use ninjutsu, the handprint on his right hand was grabbed and dispersed. Hongdou, who had not figured out what was going on, then felt a slap on the face...

Looking at the golden figure and the sea blue eyes filled with blame, Hongdou ignored the pain on her face, but stared at the person who came, "Mina..."

"This is the solution to the self you want? This is the result you want? This is the ultimate goal of your life? Answer me! Hongdou!" Mina took Hongdou's hand, ignored Orochimaru, who turned into mud on the tree, but looked at Hongdou seriously, "What do you say that you don't want to be betrayed by others! What about others! Can you betray others casually!?"

"I…"

After Hongdou was stunned for a moment, Orochimaru reappeared in front of the two of them, looking at Hongdou with a wicked smile, "Hmph~, Hongdou... you are still as innocent as you are a special young ninja in the village, you can't always use the forbidden technique I taught you~!"

"..." Hearing the sound behind his back, the unwillingness on Hongdou's face flashed away. He broke free from Mizuna's hand, pulled out the Kuwu from the tree and threw it out.

Kuma flew over with his fingers, Orochimaru smiled and said, "It's useless to say it..."

With Orochimaru a handprint, Hongdou felt the mark on her neck suddenly tremble and hurt. Chakra in her body began to rush and kneel on the ground with a trembling and half-kneeling.

“Hmph~”

"Don't come over! You can try another step closer!"

Just as Orochimaru was about to walk towards Hongdou, Mina held the painful Hongdou and yelled at Orochimaru with a cold voice...

Orochimaru was still a little worried about Mizuna. He just used the peeling technique to consume a lot of physical strength. If he continued to fight, his body would not be able to hold on...

"You, what are you doing here yet..." leaning against Mina's arms, Hongdou asked Orochimaru withstood the pain in her neck.

"We have disappeared for so long, your attitude is really cold~" When it comes to Hongdou, Orochimaru smiled as if he met his old friends.

"Are you here to assassinate Lord Naruto?" The pain of the curse seal was almost beyond the limit of the body. At this moment, Hongdou's face was covered with cold sweat.

Regarding Hongdou's words, Orochimaru smiled and said, "No, if you think so, being my Zeng Jin subordinate is not enough~ I just want to find excellent talents here~"

"Sasuke? If so, I advise you to give up... I will never hand Sasuke over to you!" Hugging the painful Hongdou tightly, Mina said, looking at Orochimaru coldly and said

"Haha, Sasuke Jun is a... But today I am very interested in you, Mizuna Jun, right?" Orochimaru said with a cold light flashing in his eyes...

For Mizuna, Orochimaru suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, feeling that this person would be a big obstacle for Konoha's collapse plan. However, when he thought about it, he felt relieved. At that time, he would not believe that you can face the same flying thunder god technique, or even his own father, you can still win! (Orochimaru is immersed in yy now, and doesn't even know that the person he wants to summon is opposite him...)

"I said, I'm not interested in you..." Feeling the pain of Hongdou in his arms, Mina made a seal with one hand and pressed it on Hongdou's neck.

"Huh~?" Seeing that Mina actually consumed chakra in front of him and sealed the red beans, Orochimaru condensed chakra in his hand. He was about to do something, but saw Mina's eyes glimpsing coldly over him.

Thinking that he didn't have much chakra and could not get a good deal if he continued to fight, Orochimaru's body slowly merged into the ground and said to Hongdou: "I will get Hongdou from that child. He is different from you. He is a very excellent child with excellent blood... Hongdou, are you jealous? It seems that you still resentful that I abandoned you back then... Humph~~ So... goodbye~"

"Wait! Don't go! Woo~!" Seeing Orochimaru merge into the ground, Hongdou roared and almost fainted...

"Hongdou! Don't be excited first! Calm down!" Holding the curse seal between Hongdou's neck, Mina secretly gritted her teeth... Orochimaru, did the words before leaving deliberately anger Hongdou...

Seeing that he could not catch up with Orochimaru, Mina made seals with both hands, and a blue chakra chain appeared between her palms, entering Hongdou's neck.

"Ah~!! It hurts~!! Mina! Kill me! Hurry up!!" Feeling the pain several times more than usual in the curse seal, Hongdou grabbed the corner of Mina's clothes and shouted in pain.

"It's okay, Hongdou! It's okay..." Looking at Hongdou in pain, Mina held it in her arms and comforted her, while the chakra chain in her hand pulled the curse between Hongdou's neck and began to rotate.

"Woo~~" Hongdou hugged Mina tightly, endured the pain, and remembered Mina's words just now, and her voice trembled: "Mina... am I stupid..."

Listening to Hongdou's trembling voice, Mizuna smiled and gently stroked Hongdou's head, saying, "...Ah, so stupid! You idiot... really think that you can be relieved if you die? You are the super stupid idiot I have ever seen!"

“…”

"Silly Hongdou..."

“What are you doing…”

"Erase the past and stand up again!"

"Embroidering the past... It's not that simple. Just this mark on my neck will keep reminding me! Remind me to think of that person..." Hongdou hugged Mina's hands tightly, with helplessness and sadness in her tone.

"Are you able to stand up again as long as the curse mark on your neck is gone?"

“…”

Looking at Hongdou's self-deprecating smile, Mina murmured: "Then...you can't erase it, let me wipe it for you, this demon that remains in your heart, this pain that remains in your body..."

The Chakra chain between the palms slowly pulled out along with the handprints of Mizuna's handprints. The three tadpole curse seals were as if they were absorbed on the chains, dyeing the original blue chain with a layer of black and red markings.

"Evil Seal Technique!" Take out a scroll and Mizuna seals the black-stained chakra chain in her hand.

"..." Suddenly, the power that was constantly tortured on his neck for the past few years disappeared. Hongdou was shocked... It disappeared, it couldn't feel...

"So, can you stand up now? Hongdou..." Holding Hongdou's body straight, Mina looked at Hongdou, who had not yet come to her senses and said with a smile.

"..." Hongdou, who had pursed her lips for a while, hugged Mina again and said in a trembling voice: "No!"

"Why?" Mina was slightly stunned when she heard Hongdou's answer

Feeling the tone of Mina, Hongdou leaned against Mina's arms, pursed her lips and said, "I don't have the strength now...you, take me away!"

“…”

Looking at the red bean's pink round face, Mizuna smiled silently and picked up the red beans horizontally. The two of them walked through the dark forest...

Hongdou, when I take you out of this haze, you will stand up by yourself...

Ah, I promise... before that, let me restore my strength in your arms now...

...
