Chapter 249 Shikamaru's Assist
Sizzle! Pop!
This is the popping sound produced when grease drips onto firewood and burns.
At this moment, the three squads of Konoha were gathered around a campfire, grilling fish together.
Of course, Shikamaru and Choji were the ones who caught all the fish.
If they weren't really unable to catch any fish, they wouldn't want to come and sit together.
The atmosphere was very somber, with only the sound of burning firewood; no one spoke.
This feeling made Shikamaru feel as if he were back in the house where his parents used to argue.
In short, it's extremely troublesome.
He looked at the fish still grilling in his hand, wishing it would grill faster so he could eat it quickly and then go into the tent to sleep.
As for keeping watch, with Aoba around, they are absolutely safe.
Time passed by, second by second.
The skewers of grilled fish in Baiyun Qingye's hands were already golden brown and crispy, tender on the inside and golden brown on the outside.
A faint fragrance spread throughout the surrounding area.
Choji glanced in the direction of the aroma and couldn't help but swallow hard.
Baiyun Qingye took a skewer of grilled fish and handed it to Tiantian, who was still sulking beside her.
Tian Tian glanced at him, snatched the delicious grilled fish from his hand, and then shoved her half-cooked grilled fish into his hand.
He took a big bite.
"hiss!"
Tian Tian immediately gasped.
It was burned.
"Don't rush."
Baiyun Qingye handed over the water bottle.
He didn't say a word all day, just puffed out his cheeks and gulped down water.
Bai Yun Qingye then used her palm magic to heal her.
As the blisters from the scalding in her mouth slowly disappeared, Tian Tian, who was still drinking water, gradually had red eyes.
She was the first one there, even though she was the one who came first. Whether she got to know him, became friends, or fell in love with Aoba, it didn't matter.
As a result, she is now in last place.
After putting down the kettle, she began to eat the grilled fish in large bites, chewing even the crispy fish bones.
"Eat slowly, there's more."
Baiyun Qingye offered another word of advice, then distributed a skewer of grilled fish to each of the others.
They continued baking.
"Qingye, who were you fighting just now?"
After accepting the grilled fish from Shirokumo Aoba, Shikamaru thought for a moment and took the initiative to start a conversation.
Hearing Shikamaru's topic and seeing the girls looking over, he realized...
Bai Yunqingye raised an eyebrow and then nodded, "We've encountered a rather troublesome character."
"Even the examiner, Hongdou, has fainted. I'm afraid it's not as simple as just being troublesome, is it?"
Shikamaru pressed for an answer.
After thinking for a moment, Shirokumo Aoba said seriously, "It's Orochimaru."
Orochimaru?!
The group gasped in surprise.
They had all heard of Orochimaru's name; after all, the current Hokage, Tsunade, was one of the legendary Sannin, on par with Orochimaru.
Although Yakumo and Hinata already knew that Orochimaru had entered the Forest of Death, they never expected that Aoba would actually run into him.
"Qingye, are you hurt? Should I check you out?"
Sakura, a medical ninja, was about to come up and tear off Shirakumo Aoba's clothes.
Check if he is in good health.
Sakura: Let me see!
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Shirokumo Aoba quickly pressed down on Sakura's hand, as there were so many people around.
"Although it was a tough fight, I was not injured."
"Really? That's good..."
Sakura withdrew her hand somewhat disappointedly.
The others also breathed a sigh of relief.
Shikamaru was very surprised. That was Orochimaru! Had Aoba become this powerful?
And aren't you all surprised?
At that moment, he felt somewhat out of place.
"Could you tell us about the battle?"
The other girls also unconsciously perked up their ears.
Shirokumo Aoba couldn't help but secretly give Shikamaru a thumbs up.
He gave Shikamaru a few more skewers of grilled fish, and then made up a story about fighting Orochimaru on the spot.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the scene, and they completely forgot the dullness that had just occurred.
Tian Tian listened attentively to the story while eating grilled fish.
Whenever the crucial parts are discussed, I can't help but feel a little worried for Baiyun Qingye.
"..."
"No~"
At this moment, a soft groan interrupted Baiyun Qingye's narration.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Hongdou, who had just woken up.
She seemed a little sleepy, and because she had slept so soundly, she was not only groaning but also lazily stretching.
Hongdou squinted her eyes and rested for a while.
Looking around, he met the gazes of Baiyun Qingye and the others.
"..."
"?"
Red Bean blinked, pretending to sleepwalk, and slowly lay back down.
Even at night, Baiyun Qingye could clearly see that Hongdou's ears were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.
"Cough cough!"
He coughed casually, drawing everyone's attention back to him.
"Let me continue."
"Hmm... okay!"
Everyone was trying not to laugh.
They answered in somewhat muffled voices.
Baiyun Qingye continued her story.
This gave Hongdou ample time to ease the awkwardness.
But only a moment later.
Because Anko heard Orochimaru's name from Shirokumo Aoba's mouth.
Suddenly, he bounced up as if he had been given a spring.
He appeared before Baiyun Qingye.
"Aoba, how is Orochimaru? Is he dead?"
Although she witnessed Shirokumo Aoba smash Orochimaru's head.
But that's Orochimaru, the Orochimaru who has researched countless forbidden techniques. Even if he loses his head, he might not necessarily die.
As expected, Bai Yunqingye shook her head at her.
"At that time, Orochimaru used a strange ninjutsu, and another Orochimaru actually grew out of the corpse."
"really……"
Hongdou wasn't particularly surprised.
"Orochimaru may not be as good as the other two Legendary Sannin in other aspects, but he is definitely much better at escaping and surviving."
"I need to report this news to the Hokage immediately."
Her expression turned anxious again, and she turned to run towards the edge of the Death Forest.
But suddenly, Shirokumo Aoba grabbed her wrist.
"Sister Red Bean, I have reported all the information about Orochimaru to the teacher."
"You've slept for so long, you must be hungry, right?"
Baiyun Qingye handed two skewers of grilled fish to Hongdou.
Hongdou couldn't help but twitch her lips as she looked at the grilled fish in the other person's hand.
"Are you here for a vacation, or to take an exam?"
"So you can have a vacation and take the exam at the same time."
Baiyun Qingye casually stuffed the grilled fish into Hongdou's hand. "I'll grill the fish over the campfire so that other teams nearby will be attracted by the aroma."
"That way, we can quickly collect the Heaven and Earth Scrolls."
"Wouldn't doing this make your situation even more dangerous?" Red Bean asked doubtfully.
"That might be true for others, but for me..."
Before Baiyun Qingye could finish speaking, Hongdou already understood what he meant.
This guy isn't even afraid of Orochimaru, so how could he possibly be afraid of a few genin?
Do you have any sweet ones?
