"Shut up!" Tsunade roared, her voice laced with fury. "Even with a hole in your mouth, you can't keep it shut!"
Looking at the dire situation, Orochimaru sighed. "As I thought, facing two Sannin at the same time is still a bit difficult…" I can't just be a spectator.
Orochimaru's long, serpentine tongue shot out and, while Tsunade was distracted, wrapped around her neck.
"You bastard, do you think you can stop me with this little trick?" Tsunade used her brute strength to break free from Orochimaru's hold, then grabbed his tongue with both hands and dragged him toward her.
"It's time to end this, Orochimaru!" Tsunade threw a punch with all her might, hitting Orochimaru squarely in the face.
"Lord Orochimaru!" Kabuto Yakushi's heart went cold. To be hit head-on by that terrifying force… the damage would be unimaginable.
"Tsk, what a loser. No progress at all," Manda gloated, looking at Orochimaru's miserable state. "I really want to eat you, Orochimaru, but with this big hole in my mouth, I can't swallow you at all. Next time we meet, remember to be careful!"
Poof!
As he finished speaking, Manda vanished in a large cloud of smoke.
Seeing the great snake leave, Gamabunta laughed and taunted, "Hahahaha, that stupid snake fled the battlefield! It's come to this!"
Jiraiya and Tsunade, along with Gamabunta and Katsuyu, surrounded the dying Orochimaru lying on the ground.
"The situation is not good, Lord Orochimaru," Kabuto said, a nervous edge to his voice. This battle would probably end in their defeat. It was likely impossible to ask Tsunade to heal Lord Orochimaru's hands now. He had to find a chance to escape.
"Hehehe… Hehehehe…" Orochimaru slowly got up from the ground, letting out a creepy, sinister laugh.
"Tsunade, even if you don't help me heal, I still have other ways to restore my hands…" As he spoke, Orochimaru raised his head. The skin on his face began to peel off, layer by layer, falling to the ground.
Seeing this grotesque scene, Jiraiya and Tsunade were horrified.
After Orochimaru's facial skin had completely sloughed off, his face looked like that of another person. It was as young as a child's. No, it was a child's face. The skin was smooth and soft, like a baby's. He looked about fourteen or fifteen years old.
"Comrades, I will definitely destroy the Hidden Leaf Village, provided you can protect it from the Uchiha clan. I hope we can meet again then, hehe, hehehe…"
Tsunade's eyes widened. "You… what's wrong with your face? Who are you?!"
Jiraiya frowned. "Orochimaru, did you use some method to take someone else's body? No wonder when I fought you just now, I didn't feel like you were the same as before."
Orochimaru smiled. "I am already a true immortal. I will never die. If you want to know the answer, then do your best to live and wait for my return…"
"Goodbye, Tsunade, Jiraiya…" After saying this, Orochimaru slowly began to sink into the ground.
"Farewell," Kabuto said, following closely behind.
"Stop! Don't you dare escape!"
Tsunade and Jiraiya moved at the same time. They knew that if they let Orochimaru escape this time, they would never get such a good opportunity again.
"Orochimaru, stop!"
"Hehehe, you can't catch me."
If Orochimaru wanted to leave, who could possibly stop him? No, someone could. A large flock of crows suddenly erupted from the ground, lifting Orochimaru and Kabuto out of the earth.
"Th-this is… a crow?"
"Why are there crows here?"
