Chapter 406
Chapter 406
At this moment, a clear whistle was heard faintly from below. Sakura nodded to Naruto who was standing beside her, and then jumped into the cave without hesitation.
Naruto stood at the entrance of the cave and watched Sakura's body gradually being swallowed by the darkness. After taking a deep breath, he jumped into the cave immediately after her.
After the three of them met up at the bottom of the cave, they headed in the direction of the plan. They didn't talk along the way, but everyone was full of vigilance and tension - after all, they were getting closer and closer to Orochimaru's lair.
Just when we were about to reach our destination, a huge, flawless rock suddenly appeared in front of us, blocking our way.
Captain Yamato walked forward and carefully felt the boulder with both hands: "As we expected, their nest is covered by this layer of hard rock."
Seeing this, Naruto stretched out his right hand without saying a word and began to gather chakra to prepare to use his best Rasengan: "Humph, this kind of thing, as long as I use the Rasengan, I can smash this stone into pieces!"
However, before he could complete the action, Sakura quickly reached out to stop him.
"No!" Sakura said seriously, "With the power of the Rasengan, not only will the rock be shattered, but the entire rock wall will collapse! In that case, the other party will have noticed us before we even start... ...The so-called infiltration operation must be done quietly."
After all, starting a fight was part of the plan, but if the enemy ran away, it would be a waste of time.
After hearing this, Naruto suddenly realized, scratched his head embarrassedly and asked: "Oh... I see, then what should we do?" He also realized that he was a little impulsive just now. If he really alerted the enemy as Sakura said, this mission would be in trouble.
Sakura's eyes widened, watching Captain Yamato's every move.
Captain Yamato's hand slowly rested on the surface of a huge rock, as if he was looking for some clues. Then, an amazing scene happened - he turned his fingers into hard wood in an instant, and exerted force towards the place where he had just stopped.
"Found it! The stronger the rock, the easier it is to find a tiny crack and apply a little force..." Captain Yamato whispered, and before he finished his words, there was a crisp "click" sound, and the wood transformed by his fingers penetrated straight into the rock like a sharp sword, forcibly opening up a narrow passage that was wide enough for one person to pass sideways.
"See, that's it..." Captain Yamato smiled and calmly demonstrated his skills in using the Wood Release Technique to Sakura and another companion behind him.
Sakura watched all this intently, thinking to herself: This method might be worth a try... ...and her Ice Escape would be useful... ...
At this moment, Captain Yamato suddenly turned to look at the two of them, and said seriously and cautiously: "Next, we must strictly control the consumption of chakra. If we are not careful, Orochimaru may notice it. Do you understand? Okay, let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Yamato took the lead and walked through the passage, his steps light and steady, and every step was extremely cautious.
He nimbly passed through the narrow passage that had just been opened and landed steadily on the corridor.
Sakura witnessed this scene and did not dare to take it lightly. She followed Captain Yamato closely. When she was about to exit the passage, she was even more careful and carefully observed the movements around her. After confirming that there was no one around, Sakura breathed a sigh of relief and landed gently on tiptoe.
However, as soon as I landed, an inexplicable strange smell hit me in the face and went straight into my nose, making me feel creepy and terrified.
The entire corridor was dark and deep, with only a few weak candles providing some light. The walls were engraved with intricate and bizarre patterns. The twisted and crisscrossed lines seemed to have life, making Sakura feel nauseous and uncomfortable for no reason.
