Jiraiya had reacted.
But... Sasori hadn't reacted at all!
What was going on?!
He traveled all the way from the Akatsuki headquarters to the gates of the Hidden Leaf just to get beaten up?
In Sasori's eyes, the very powerful Leader was just kicked aside like a stray dog by the road?
And, could he even escape now?
"Are you here for Orochimaru?"
Just as Sasori was in a daze, Kazama's cold voice suddenly rang out.
"Traitors should be purged."
"Even if you are Uchiha Kazama standing before me, I will..."
"Orochimaru!"
Just as Sasori was muttering, Kazama had already raised his finger.
In the next instant, three people appeared on the spot.
Gojo Satoru was currently pulling Itadori Yuji, who was between them, in a bizarre posture along with Orochimaru.
"Huh?"
"Is this someone's special Domain?"
"No... this is the Hidden Leaf, Hokage..."
Orochimaru looked around, speaking somewhat foolishly.
"Orochimaru, that guy who plays with figurines has business with you."
"Handle it yourself."
"I'm taking Jiraiya to deal with his historical baggage."
Kazama pointed at Sasori, who wasn't far away, then placed his hand on Jiraiya's shoulder and vanished directly with him.
"Sasori?"
Orochimaru finally realized there seemed to be traces of battle around them.
But...
If it was just Sasori, how did he survive Uchiha Kazama's hands?
"Orochimaru, you..."
"Wait, wait, wait, Sasori, don't speak yet."
"So, did you come specifically to find me?"
Orochimaru needed to confirm one thing.
If Sasori was simply here to find him, then however he handled it would be fine.
But...
If Sasori was here to cause trouble for the Hidden Leaf!
Then, the Sasori before him must die here today.
Because Orochimaru knew very well that once it involved village matters, if he didn't handle it well...
When Uchiha Kazama, the Hokage, returned, the person to be dealt with would be him, Orochimaru!
"Is there a difference?"
"You people..."
"I understand."
After Orochimaru finished speaking, his arms immediately transformed into long snakes, attacking towards Sasori.
He had given Sasori a chance to choose; this could be considered his final act of kindness toward his former partner.
"Is this how they fight in this world?"
"How strange. Perhaps I could learn this usage of Cursed Energy."
"Itadori, watch closely."
"You are Itadori, don't act like a retard!"
Gojo Satoru immediately took out a small notebook and pen, starting to record.
Just now, he had sensed dozens of energy signatures nearby approaching the level of Special Grade Sorcerers, and many of them carried an aura similar to that monster, Uchiha Kazama.
"Are you guests of the Hidden Leaf?!"
Uchiha Tekka appeared behind Itadori and Gojo with the Body Flicker Technique, his Sharingan already activated.
"Oh, oh, oh..."
"This guy is Kazama's pet."
"I am his teacher."
Gojo Satoru yanked Itadori Yuji over and placed him in front of Uchiha Tekka.
He then continued to watch the battle between Orochimaru and Sasori.
Tekka looked at Itadori in front of him...
He felt a wave of conflict in his heart.
When did the Clan Head develop a hobby of raising humans as pets?
But thinking about it, if that was the Clan Head's decision, then it must be correct!
The scene returned to Orochimaru and Sasori.
The assault of the snakes was easily blocked by Sasori.
As white mist spread from a scroll, several special puppets appeared by Sasori's side.
"Orochimaru, you are not my opponent."
Sasori extended his hands, and the puppets lunged directly at Orochimaru.
"You really are confident!"
As Orochimaru spoke, he took out a sealing scroll.
In the next moment, a long sword appeared in Orochimaru's hand.
His entire body rushed out in a bizarre posture.
Although those puppets had fast attack speeds and carried poison...
Under Orochimaru's movement, which was like a swimming dragon, they couldn't harm him at all.
Clang, clang, clang...
Orochimaru began to dance.
With dual blades in hand, he constantly knocked back the puppets, closing in on Sasori.
"This guy's fighting style..."
"Manda!"
Taking advantage of the moment Sasori retreated, Orochimaru bit his finger and pressed it directly onto the ground.
Sasori, who had just leaped into the air, found it difficult to dodge mid-flight.
A massive entity descended instantly.
The huge impact sent Sasori flying.
"Can he also utilize other powerful creatures for combat?"
"That giant snake seems to have the strength of a Special Grade Cursed Spirit."
"I'll ask later if he can teach me."
Gojo Satoru was still taking notes.
But his Six Eyes were constantly monitoring Uchiha Tekka behind him.
Those eyes...
He was more curious about the eyes that previously left him unable to even resist.
"Wind Style: Dance of the Wind Cutter!"
Manda's tail coiled around Orochimaru and flung him violently toward Sasori.
His dual blades covered in Wind Style chakra, the blade edges severed all of Sasori's chakra threads instantly.
The puppets, having lost control, were crushed one by one under Manda's formidable power.
Squelch...
As Orochimaru landed, the long blade in his right hand rested directly against Sasori's neck.
At the same time, long snakes erupted from his sleeves, binding Sasori up.
"Sasori, you only came to find me, right?"
"If I had a choice, I really wouldn't want to kill you."
"I actually quite like your craftsmanship in making puppets."
Orochimaru didn't strike immediately.
The things he was researching happened to need a top-tier puppet master to assist.
If he could persuade Sasori to join the Hidden Leaf, it would save him a lot of time.
"Kill me?!"
"Orochimaru, aren't you pursuing eternal power?"
"But in the end, you are just a human; you cannot touch eternal power."
"Therefore, you can never kill me!"
As Sasori spoke, cracks appeared in the core area of his chest.
Rustle, rustle...
Chakra threads shot out from Sasori's chest.
Simultaneously, the scroll on his back flew into the air.
A massive number of puppets began to fly out.
Sasori... he would absolutely not allow anyone to insult his art!
Especially not this Orochimaru in front of him, whom he looked down upon!
"Super Butterfly: Partial Expansion Jutsu!"
Just as Sasori was feeling triumphant, a massive shadow blocked the light above him.
In the next instant, a gigantic hand waved through the air.
More than half of the puppets that had just appeared, some not even having the chance to move, were shattered by that giant hand.
Where the giant hand passed, fluttering butterflies were left behind.
"Department Head Orochimaru, let's clean up the scene first."
"The Hidden Leaf still has many matters to handle."
Nara Shikaku walked over while performing hand seals.
At this moment, Sasori was already controlled by the Shadow Possession Jutsu.
Where was this?
This was the main gate of the Hidden Leaf!
Sasori was already suppressed; would the others choose to just watch the show?
Ridiculous. Did he think this was some fair turn-based game?
After hanging around Kazama for this long, the three of them had learned that efficiency was paramount, okay?
As for Sasori, he was now completely doubting his entire existence!
