At the critical moment, Shindai faltered. Because he had been overdrawing his Chakra to travel, using a few Ninjutsu now directly put him out of commission, leaving him collapsed on the ground, unable to move.
Pakura was now completely numb.
Just a moment ago, she thought Shindai was a little handsome... Handsome, my foot!
Originally, only one of them needed to die, but now, it seemed both of them would.
Pakura desperately dragged Shindai behind her, then painstakingly formed hand signs and once again conjured a fireball.
The leading Sand Ninja looked at Shindai behind Pakura with some anger: "Truly, I didn't expect this traitor to appear, and he even caused Monroe's death. It seems you, Pakura, have a good relationship with this traitor. Kazekage-sama's decision was indeed correct; you must die.
Now that this traitor has also arrived, killing him along the way will also eliminate future worries."
Pakura looked at the charging Sand Ninja with difficulty and anxiously said to Shindai: "Shindai, can you still move? If you can, run quickly. I'll buy you time."
"I can't move, but... I still have a trump card!"
Although Shindai couldn't move now, he wasn't worried at all.
Shindai took a deep breath and shouted: "Orochimaru-sama! Help!"
Orochimaru slowly rose from the ground, facing Pakura and Shindai.
When Pakura saw Orochimaru, she instantly tensed up. After all, Hidden Sand Village and Konoha were enemies now.
And the person before her was Orochimaru, one of Konoha's top powerhouses and one of the Sannin. How could she not be nervous?
However, thinking of 'Orochimaru-sama' that Shindai had just shouted, Pakura also clearly understood that Orochimaru was Shindai's helper.
But due to her body's instinctive reaction, Pakura couldn't help it.
The three Sand Ninja immediately stopped when they saw Orochimaru, looking at him in disbelief: "Orochimaru? Why are you here?!"
Orochimaru ignored the three Sand Ninja, not even sparing them a glance. With his back to them, his gaze was fixed on Shindai.
Orochimaru looked at Shindai and said: "Aren't you usually very rational? You're exhausting your Chakra like this to travel, even though you clearly knew that even if you arrived, you wouldn't be able to fight due to lack of Chakra. Is it because of your fiancée that you've become irrational?"
Shindai was extremely embarrassed.
Don't say it out loud!
Pakura wasn't his fiancée at all; he only said that to get Hiruzen Sarutobi to help him as much as possible.
Now saying it in front of Pakura, wasn't that exposing the truth!
"Fiancée?!"
Pakura turned her head, looking at the sweating Shindai behind her with an inquiring gaze.
Seeing Pakura's reaction, Orochimaru raised an eyebrow and immediately realized.
"Oh? It seems you lied to Sarutobi-sensei."
Shindai was incredibly guilty, not daring to meet Pakura's and Orochimaru's gazes: "No, no, I was telling the truth... just slightly embellished the content."
The three Sand Ninja, seeing that Orochimaru completely disregarded them and was chatting with Shindai, were instantly enraged. They formed hand signs, preparing to attack Orochimaru.
Orochimaru turned to look at the three Sand Ninja behind him and softly said: "Snake Neck Binding."
In an instant, three white snakes tightly coiled around the three Sand Ninja, immobilizing them. Then, the three snakes opened their mouths, revealing two sharp fangs, bit the necks of the three, and injected venom into their bodies.
The blood vessels of the three Sand Ninja immediately turned black, and their bodies twitched uncontrollably. In just a moment, they died from the poison.
Shindai felt incredibly fortunate to see Orochimaru effortlessly deal with the three Sand Ninja.
It was truly great that Orochimaru came along.
When he had the chance, he would definitely give Hiruzen Sarutobi's big forehead a good, hard kiss.
Thanks to Hiruzen Sarutobi's suggestion, if he had truly come alone, he would have been finished.
After eliminating the three Sand Ninja, Orochimaru looked to the front left: "The Kirigakure Ninja are chasing us. Should we move to another location first? It seems neither of you can move right now."
Orochimaru used the Summoning Technique, summoning a large snake.
The snake's tail coiled around both Shindai and Pakura, then Orochimaru jumped onto the snake's head, and the snake slithered away from the area.
Shindai was now very embarrassed, no, more than embarrassed.
Because the snake only had one tail, and one tail coiling two people meant they had to be in close contact.
And now, Shindai's vision was dark, and his breathing was not smooth.
While Pakura's cheeks were flushed, and smoke was rising from her head.
"Ha! Whew!"
Shindai laboriously lifted his head, saw the light again, took a deep breath, and at the same time saw Pakura's flushed face. He wanted to speak, but the large snake suddenly turned, and Shindai's vision went dark again.
Pakura warned: "You brat, don't go too far!"
Shindai laboriously lifted his head again: "What does that have to do with me? I can't move right now; I'm being forced. Do you think I want this? I can barely breathe!"
More smoke rose from Pakura's head, her cheeks deepened in redness, and she gritted her teeth: "So, it's my fault?!"
"It's not your fault, but it's not my fault either... Ugh..."
The snake's body lurched again, and Shindai's face was again forced into Pakura's chest.
Shindai struggled to lift his head again and continued: "Blame this snake! You can't take it out on me!"
Being bumped by Shindai's face, Pakura was utterly mortified: "Stop talking, and stop moving around!"
Shindai said with difficulty: "But... I need to breathe!"
Pakura's expression instantly froze. What he said actually made a lot of sense.
"Just suffocate!"
...
After some time, the three finally arrived inside a cave.
"I'm warning you, you can't get angry at me because of this. I was forced, remember that. Don't move around, I'm applying medicine for you!"
Shindai, having regained a little mobility, was applying the medicine Orochimaru had given him to Pakura's wounds.
Pakura really wanted to punch Shindai right now. She wanted to deliberately forget about that incident, but Shindai brought it up again.
Orochimaru said to Shindai: "We'll leave after an hour of rest. Now is the time for you to show your manly vigor."
Shindai's eyelid twitched violently.
Convincing Pakura to join Konoha was one thing, but why did Orochimaru have to talk about showing manly vigor!
That was just boasting between men, like with Hiruzen Sarutobi; it wasn't meant to be taken seriously. What manly vigor did he have?
Ever since he met Pakura, he had taken countless slaps from her.
Pakura looked at Shindai with a somewhat unfriendly gaze: "I'd like to hear about this fiancée you mentioned."
Shindai now felt goosebumps all over his body, sensing trouble!
