Boom!
Manda disappeared, being sent back to Ryuchi Cave.
But Shinji knew that this guy was dead for sure, unless he could live after his head was cut off!
The terrifying petrification curse would quickly erode Manda's entire body, eventually turning him into a lifelike stone sculpture.
If Ryuchi Cave became a tourist attraction in the future, Manda's stone sculpture would definitely become a sacred place for countless internet celebrities to visit.
And just then, the huge commotion here finally attracted Hidan and Tobi.
"Senior Shinji, we're here~"
"Is this the androgynous guy this time? I wonder if Lord Jashin will like such a sacrifice."
Orochimaru's face was gloomy. Although he didn't know that Manda was already close to death, without Manda, this powerful helper, and with the arrival of the other party's reinforcements, the current situation was very unfavorable to him.
His gaze swept slightly over the wrapped Kusanagi Sword and the Hozuki clan's little devil who couldn't move by the stream.
He was already preparing to retreat strategically first.
There would be opportunities in the future.
"Myriad Snakes Net Formation!"
"Evil Serpent Winding!"
Orochimaru suddenly released countless poisonous snakes to block Shinji and others, and then summoned a winding giant snake.
As soon as this winding giant snake appeared, it swallowed Orochimaru in one gulp, and then quickly slid out, ramming straight ahead, the target being the sealed Kusanagi Sword.
But just as the winding giant snake was about to swallow the Kusanagi Sword as well, the blood crystal wrapped around the Kusanagi Sword suddenly exploded, and a large number of fragments directly stirred the winding giant snake's mouth into a mess.
Then the Kubikiribōchō and the Bloody Three-Section Scythe flew over at the same time, hitting the winding giant snake's body squarely, pinning it to the ground, revealing an extremely painful look.
But soon the winding giant snake's eyes became numb and hollow, obviously Orochimaru had begun to forcibly control it.
Tear
Ignoring everything, Orochimaru directly controlled the winding giant snake to tear its body apart, and then headed straight for the stream without looking back.
Swallowing the still paralyzed white-haired little devil in one gulp, he then plunged into the stream.
A large amount of blood stained the surface of the stream red. By the time Shinji chased after him, it was impossible to determine Orochimaru's whereabouts.
It could only be said that Orochimaru was really decisive enough, and his heart was really ruthless.
In that kind of injury, the giant snake was almost impossible to survive.
"As expected, the task of rebuilding the Jashin Cult isn't that easy to complete. I still have to find a way to trick them!"
Shinji sighed.
It was indeed difficult to recruit people like Orochimaru, because what this guy was pursuing was different from others.
Back then, he agreed to join Akatsuki because he wanted to plot the Rinnegan, but as a result, not to mention the Rinnegan, he was directly kicked out by Itachi's Sharingan.
Of course, Orochimaru's real confidence was his various life-saving cards.
Anyway, you can't kill me, so why should I listen to you?
Fortunately, Shinji didn't have much hope from the beginning, so if he didn't want to join, then forget it.
"What's the origin of this guy? Why are the ninjutsu he uses so disgusting?"
Stepping on the poisonous snake under his feet, Hidan asked unhappily.
"The other party is Orochimaru of the Konoha Sannin, oh, no, it's the former Konoha Sannin. Now this guy is just a rogue ninja."
"Orochimaru? I've heard of this guy's name, he seems to be a pretty powerful character, but why did he run so fast?"
"He ran when he knew he couldn't win. In terms of life-saving ability, it's possible that you can't find anyone in the entire ninja world who is more of a slippery snake than him."
Saying that, Shinji picked up Orochimaru's loot that he was forced to leave behind - the Kusanagi Sword.
Sure enough, the system gave a prompt that it could be transformed into a Cursed Tool.
This Kusanagi Sword was already very practical in itself. If it could be transformed into a Cursed Tool, it would surely become even stronger.
But unfortunately, he wasn't flush with cash at the moment, and he already had the Kubikiribōchō and the Snake Skin Sword, so there was no need to rush the transformation for the time being.
"Hmm? Where's Tobi?"
"He was just next to me... Eh? Where did he go?"
Shinji put away the Kusanagi Sword, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Looking left and right, Tobi was gone.
Hidan was also confused. He was clearly just here, so how did he disappear in the time it took to say two sentences?
And neither of them noticed when Tobi disappeared, which was very scary.
The two of them looked at each other, preparing to find a clean place nearby to wait for a while.
Hidan joked that Tobi might have hidden somewhere to relieve himself.
But Shinji felt that this guy might have gone to find Orochimaru.
Don't forget that after Orochimaru defected from Akatsuki, he was hunted down by all the Akatsuki members.
If this guy hadn't kept changing his identity to hide himself, and had so many life-saving methods, it was estimated that he would have been reduced to ashes by Nagato long ago.
And what would Obito, the mastermind behind Akatsuki, do when he coincidentally met Orochimaru here?
Shinji had a vague premonition that Orochimaru might be in trouble.
.....
Splash!!
Far away downstream, a figure was struggling to crawl out of a half-dead snake corpse, and then pulled out a white-haired little devil who was already unconscious.
"Next time, I will definitely make him into a specimen by hand, and then hang him in my laboratory as a decoration."
Orochimaru thought viciously, and then identified the direction, picked up the only consolation he had this time, and quickly left here.
Then, not long after, a figure rotated from illusion to reality, appearing out of thin air at the place where Orochimaru had landed.
Glancing at the dead snake on the ground and the diversionary footprints leading in two directions, Tobi smiled coldly and disappeared from the spot.
Not long after, Orochimaru, who had changed his appearance again, suddenly stopped.
Because someone was blocking him in front.
"Your death is here, Orochimaru."
"You're that person's companion from just now. It seems you're very good at tracking, you were able to find me so quickly, commendable."
Tobi was no longer using that exaggerated, quirky tone, but spoke in a calm and serious voice, "No need to test me, it's just me alone."
Orochimaru threw the white-haired little devil to the side.
If it was just the other party alone, he naturally had nothing to fear.
Kill him!
It could also be considered giving that guy a lesson!
After this thought popped up, Orochimaru immediately took action.
Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!
However, a scene that made him frown happened. The poisonous snakes passed straight through the body of this masked man, as if this person didn't exist at all.
Then a death knell rang out behind him.
"Only the dead can leave the organization, you can't escape, Orochimaru."
Orochimaru's pupils suddenly contracted violently.
Wood Release Impaling Technique!
Pfft!!!
A large number of sharp branches burst out directly inside Orochimaru's body, piercing him into a sieve, like a blooming 'flower'.
