"Bastard, let him escape." When the flames dissipated, Kakashi angrily said, and there was no sign of Akatsuki's staff in front of him.

...

In another place in the distance, the stars in the forest stopped raining. Soon after, her sister Xingruda came, and Jiaodu hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

Xing Ruluo said in a deep voice, "Kaodu, you are too obsessed. If we didn't get the master's order, just this time, you will die in the hands of Konoha Ninja."

Jiao quickly lowered his head, not daring to say anything more. He really dared not offend the two sisters, let alone what they said was the truth.

After teaching him a few words, the two sisters left together. Kaoru thought about it and turned around and left, returning to the base of the Akatsuki organization.

He will be honest for a considerable period of time in the future, especially looking for new goals to regain his heart.

...

Kakashi and others also returned to Konoha together, and Shikamaru and the other two were very upset about not being able to avenge Asma. But in this situation, they had no better way, so they could only wait to discover the new base of the Akatsuki organization.

However, their operation was not as good as they got, at least they had obtained all the information and capabilities of Kakudo.

In the Ninja duel, a large part of them are intelligence wars. If you fully master the opponent's intelligence, you can take the lead everywhere. If you have a duel with Kakuto, there will be countless ninjas in Konoha's side.

What's more, in addition to this, Konoha also knew that there were two female members in the Akatsuki organization. Although they didn't know any ninjutsu and abilities they were good at, they at least knew their appearance.

I won’t talk about Konoha’s situation for the time being, and turned my gaze to the other side. Indra’s reincarnation, Uchiha Sasuke, who was taken away by Orochimaru three years ago.

The Country of Fire, some secret underground nest base, Orochimaru looked at the burning test body in front of him, frowned slightly, and coughed a few times later, looking much weaker than three years ago.

Pharmacist Dok was next to him and wanted to help him, but he reached out to stop him, "I'm not so weak."

Although Orochimaru's body is constantly weakening, he is far from the situation in the original work that he cannot afford to be sick. At least he can still preside over various experiments by himself.

Dao nodded and said, "I am not worried about Lord Orochimaru's body. Three years have passed, and the chicks we have cultivated have spread their wings and are ready for the reincarnation ceremony at any time."

Orochimaru smiled knowingly, then looked at the burning test body on the test bench and sighed, "It's a pity that the progress of the soul test is still not ideal. Human beings are really a wonderful existence. The soul contains unknown terrifying power. Even if I have developed the "reincarnation of the corpse", there has been no progress in research for so many years. Cough... Cough!"

Dao also glanced at the test body and smiled, "Don't worry, Lord Orochimaru, for you who have infinite life, there is time to solve one problem after another. The truth of the world will eventually be revealed by you. It's just a matter of time."

"Duku, you are really getting more and more able to speak." Orochimaru chuckled. No matter who it is, he will always feel better when he hears this statement.

Dao smiled and nodded, and after a moment of constraining expression, he said, "By the way, Lord Orochimaru, we have been here for so long, and the Akatsuki organization has been in contact with each other frequently recently. They seem to have started the Tailed Beast arrest plan and have contacted you many times. Recently, there seems to be a vague idea of ​​impatientness. If you continue to shirk responsibility, will it cause bad situations?"

"Akatsuki?" Orochimaru frowned slightly, thought for a while and shook his head, "I don't need to pay attention to it for the time being. I will talk about everything after I get Uchiha Sasuke's body. He will arrange it on his own on the side of Zero. My hands were sealed by the third generation of Naruto. Everyone knows that they are not lacking my current combat power."

The two of them had a brief conversation. Orochimaru turned around and returned to his bedroom. When Dora left, he said, "Dou, prepare for the reincarnation ceremony tomorrow. The time is almost ripe, and there is no need to wait any longer."

Dou was stunned, and a surprise expression immediately appeared on his face, "Please rest assured that the venue of the ceremony has been prepared, and you can use it immediately if you need it."

Orochimaru nodded, waved his hand to signal him to retreat, and he coughed twice.

He originally planned to study the hidden secret of the soul in the human body and start to reincarnate. After all, it involves the reincarnation of the legendary figure Indra, but the difficulty of soul experiments is beyond his imagination, and it seems that it cannot be delayed until that time.

Fortunately, Sasuke's observations over the past three years have been stable and he did not show any abnormalities, which made Orochimaru feel much more at ease.

...

At the underground base, the dim candlelight lit up the room. She wore a white long gown, and the Kusanagi sword was pinned around her waist. The scarlet three magma Sharingan was weird and ghostly.

Compared to three years ago, Uchiha's appearance has undergone a significant change. Unlike Naruto's simple height, he can easily recognize Sasuke's changes at first glance. With his more gloomy temperament and his current appearance, he may not dare to say anything to anyone he was unfamiliar back then when he saw him again.

Standing in the middle of the room, suddenly the mechanism installed on all sides triggered, and countless dense shurikens poured out, sealing every inch of the space to hide.

Sasuke's facial expression, Sangouyu moved lightly, but his body suddenly rotated, the Kusanagi sword behind him was unsheathed, and the cold light first appeared. Mars accompanied by a jingling sound, and all the pain that was shot was bounced back.

A few seconds later, Uchiha Sasuke fell back to the origin, and the Kusanagi sword returned to the sheath. The attacking kunai appeared in the dead corners of the wall, where there was a target in each dead corner, and kunai was stabbing the bull's eye.

Sangota slowly disappeared and his black eyes were restored. Sasuke walked out expressionlessly. It was time to break it.

He knew from the beginning that Orochimaru wanted to get his purpose, and from the beginning, he had no intention of following Orochimaru's intentions.
