The genius of Naruto is a bit ordinary.

Chapter 187 Encirclement and Suppression
Hokage's office.

"Has it been confirmed?" Tsunade asked with a solemn expression after listening to Tenzo's report.

"Yes, Ying found one of the strongholds based on the connection between his curse seal and the other party, and it has been confirmed that it is indeed Orochimaru's stronghold." Tenzo said respectfully.

"Orochimaru." Tsunade heard this name, which was a little complicated. She hadn't heard this name for more than a year, and she didn't know what bad things the other party was secretly preparing.

"Can you confirm whether Orochimaru is in the stronghold?" Tsunade asked.

"In order not to alert others, after discovering its stronghold, we inspected it and returned. No trace of Orochimaru was found. During the period, the fox also used illusions to get the answer that Orochimaru had not been to that stronghold for a long time. ." Tianzang said.

"Is that so?" Tsunade closed her eyes and thought.

Finally, with a wave of his hand, a group of ANBU was handed over to Tenzo, with Tenzo as the leader, to encircle and destroy the newly discovered Orochimaru stronghold.

Tsunade looked at Tenzo who exited, and lost her mind to continue processing the documents. She walked to the window and looked at everything in the distance.

Tsunade finally understood why all past Hokages liked to stand in this position, because the entire Konoha could be seen from here.

Although he still couldn't compare with that pervert Xia Li, he still lived up to his reputation as a genius.

"Orochimaru..." Tsunade murmured, thinking back to everything in the past, she really didn't expect that cold guy to take such a path. After a long time, Tsunade's expression became more determined.

"Captain, has the order been issued?" Sasuke looked at Tenzo who had returned and asked.

"It's already down. Hokage-sama has decided to encircle and suppress Orochimaru's stronghold. If the encirclement and suppression can be successful this time, you will have a lot of credit." Tenzo looked at Sasuke, who was gradually growing up, and sighed.

Fortunately, their team has Tianzang, so generally speaking, as long as they don't go too far, safety can still be guaranteed.

Now he has become the second person in the team, and his strength has improved very quickly.

Over the past year, he has completely integrated into the life of ANBU.

Tianzang looked at Sasuke and smiled. He was still very satisfied with Sasuke's performance this year.

Especially since Sasuke joined the ANBU who would perform some more dangerous tasks and do some dirty work.

Moreover, the most important thing is that although the other party's personality is not difficult to get along with, although he is a bit withdrawn, he still has the necessary cooperation and will not resist orders.

Sasuke didn't realize the preferential treatment he received before, but when some people from different teams he had worked with demonstrated it to him with their lives, if they say hello today, they may be gone tomorrow.

Of course, it couldn't break through Xia Li's seal at all, but it could make Sasuke feel that the curse seal with the same origin existed around him.

During this period, Sasuke realized how lucky he was to have Kakashi as his instructor when he entered Class 7, and how lucky he was to have Tenzo as the captain after entering the ANBU.

Now, Tenzou has a headache. The Hokage has given him the task of encircling and suppressing the stronghold. He needs to think of a perfect method.

…………

And Sasuke knew that only Orochimaru could control this cursed seal, so he quickly used it to discover the relatively hidden stronghold, and that's what happened today.

As for Sasuke's identity, most people actually know it in their hearts. After all, he is the only one in Konoha Village who has the Sharingan.

Of course, strength is also one aspect. Sasuke was lagging behind when he first joined the team. At that time, it was not a matter of hard strength, but a lack of coordination.

And this time, it was also when Sasuke was performing a mission that he discovered that the curse seal sealed by Xia Li was becoming active.

"Now, it's Konoha's turn to cause trouble for you!"

"Okay." Sasuke nodded to express his understanding, and then said nothing more. He didn't care about this kind of merit. He only joined ANBU to improve his strength.

Although sacrifice is inevitable, it would still be good if the number of sacrifices could be reduced.

…………

night.

In the northern part of the Country of Fire, there is a dense jungle on an island near the coast.

A prison-like building is located here. Even though the island is so remote, this building is hidden under the ground.

Generally speaking, it is difficult to find this island, let alone accurately find this hidden stronghold.

But at this time, around this hidden stronghold, there were dozens of masked figures standing on the big trees nearby.

The leader Tenzo made a gesture, and the next moment most people entered the stronghold, including of course Sasuke.

"Be careful, hyenas, foxes, eagles..." Tianzang muttered silently, and then formed seals with his hands. His mission was to seal all possible escape routes for the enemy.

"Wooden Escape - The tree world is coming!"

The Anbu who broke into the stronghold also began their mission, which was simply a massacre. There were no innocent people in Orochimaru's stronghold.

While Sasuke used the Chidori Blade in his hand to deal with each enemy mercilessly, he rushed towards the direction with the deepest connection.

As Sasuke's teammates, the hyenas and foxes naturally followed Sasuke, and a small number of Anbu also chose this direction.

After all, they have also seen how powerful Sasuke is. In front of the Chidori Blade, all living beings are equal, and they are all cut one by one. It should be safer to follow him.

Sasuke actually understood why Xia Li liked to use a knife. It was indeed more convenient in ANBU tasks.

Soon, Sasuke came to a room that looked like a prison. The hot feeling of the curse mark on his neck told him that the connection he felt was inside.

Just when Sasuke was thinking about how to open this room... "Bang!"

Sasuke no longer needed to think about how to open it, because the prison was broken from the inside, and the broken walls hit the ground, stirring up a lot of smoke and dust.

A figure slowly emerged from the smoke.

When Sasuke saw the appearance of that figure, he couldn't help but shrink his eyes. It looked like a complete monster, with gray skin, sharp claws, and several unknown objects protruding from the back, and That crazy smile on the other person's face.

"Kill, kill you!" When the other party's eyes fell on Sasuke, he seemed to be even more excited and roared there.

And as he roared, the enemies who were still alive around him screamed in pain as if they had been tortured.

"what happened?!"

This sudden change caused all the ANBU to pause, and they couldn't help but move closer to the center to prevent the sudden change.

Then, they saw that those people also transformed into various monsters, similar to the monster that appeared at the beginning!
"So, without Xia Li's seal, would I look like you? It's really ugly." Sasuke couldn't help but murmured after looking at their appearance.

Obviously, the changes in the surrounding guys should be related to the first monster that appears, so you should kill the first monster that appears quickly.

Sasuke didn't hesitate and formed a seal with his hands.

"Chidori Sharp Spear!"

As the seal was completed, a light gun composed of thunder and lightning pierced directly towards the first monster, instantly piercing the opponent's body.

Just when Sasuke and others thought they had solved the opponent, Sasuke's pupils shrank and he watched helplessly as the monster that was pierced by the Chidori Spear showed no intention of falling.

Instead, the opponent actually used that claw to grab the incorporeal Chidori Spear, and then forcefully shattered the lightning that made up the Chidori Spear.

Then, the opponent's wounds observed by the Chidori Sharp Spear were also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Eagle, be careful around you." At this time, the fox suddenly said, "My illusion seems to have no effect on them."

Sasuke was shocked again. At this time, he glanced around and found that the changes of those guys had been completed, and he began to salivate and stare at them.

"You deal with those post-transformation monsters, and I'll deal with them." Sasuke said after a pause.

"Be careful." The hyena said at this time, but he did not refuse.

Originally, this job belonged to Tenzo, and Sasuke would usually go with the second-in-command. Now that Tenzo is gone, Sasuke's ranking has naturally improved.

Sasuke looked at the orange-haired monster in front of him, his face very serious, and he took the lead in throwing a few shurikens.

However, the opponent didn't even have the tendency to dodge, and just let those shurikens hit him.

Soon, Sasuke saw that those shurikens did not break through the defense at all and fell to the ground with a ping-pong-pang-pang.

The next moment, the opponent seemed to be irritated and rushed over. Every step he stepped on the ground seemed to cause the building to shake!
Sasuke condensed more chakra on the soles of his feet, and then thunder and lightning appeared all over his body. Thunder and lightning condensed on the sword blade in his hand again, and the eyes transformed into a pair of two magatama sharingan eyes at this moment.

Looking at the clenched fists of the monster carrying the surging momentum, Sasuke formed a seal with his hands.

The monster didn't care about Sasuke's changes and seals, and hit Sasuke's body with a fist bigger than a sandbag.

"boom!"

A streak of white smoke dissipated, and confusion appeared in the monster's eyes. Why was it a piece of wood?
Then, the monster felt the pain coming from his back and showed a crazy smile.

Sasuke saw that he had clearly hit the opponent with the Chidori Cut, but he was halfway through and could not go deeper. Instead, his sword was stuck by the opponent's body, and he couldn't help but feel bad.

He held the hilt of the sword hard and tried to take it out, but the sword was indeed stuck very tightly.

The next moment, Sasuke felt a huge force coming from his sword, and his whole body couldn't help but move with the sword.

The other party is just turning around!
Sasuke did not choose to let go of the hilt of the sword. The next moment, a powerful electric current emerged from Sasuke's body and rushed crazily along the sword into the monster's body.

"Ugh! Kill you, kill you!!"

Being directly hit by such a powerful electric current, the monster couldn't help but scream, roared, and then threw out the punch.

Sasuke, who was still releasing electricity, had no idea that the opponent could still move. He had seen the opponent's power before, and he would definitely not be able to bear it if it was just like this.

In desperation, Sasuke could only let go of the hilt of the sword and blocked it with both hands in front of him.

In an instant, Sasuke felt the incomparable power and the tearing pain from his arm, which spread to his body, and he was completely unable to resist it!

"boom!!"

Sasuke's body flew backwards and hit the wall hard.

"puff……"

A mouthful of blood spurted out involuntarily, and Sasuke fell to the ground.

Sasuke felt those two arms that seemed to have lost consciousness. Did they still have such strength even after being hit by lightning?

The thunder and lightning on Sasuke's body shot up again, especially on his arms, which were constantly stimulating and recovering. At the same time, he watched the monster tear off the sword from behind and threw it to the ground, as if it was very angry. Trampled hard there.

Sasuke looked around at this time and frowned, something was wrong.
