Listen to advice: I, Sasuke, why should I defect to Konoha?

The country of water, a chain of islands that looks like a star disk.

On the foggy sea, three figures loomed...

"By the way, why did you bring me here? Aren't you afraid that I will run away? Lord Orochimaru..." Suddenly, a lazy and slightly joking voice sounded, breaking the silence.

As the sea breeze blew, a short-haired young man with white hair, purple eyes, and sharp teeth could be vaguely seen standing behind Orochimaru and walking slowly to the right.

"Run? If you think you can do it, try it as soon as possible, Suigetsu." Before Orochimaru could speak, Kabuto Yakushi on the other side adjusted his glasses with a teasing look.

Although Shuiyue possessed the water transformation secret technique of the Ghost Lantern Clan, and was able to thrive in the sea, this perfect water escape technique was completely invisible under the observation of the Byakugan!!

"Uh...um, I was just kidding..." Looking at Kabuto Yakushi who didn't care, and then at the evil and confident Orochimaru, Suigetsu hesitated for a moment but finally had no choice but to give in.

He had a deep understanding of Orochimaru's methods, and he didn't want to go back to that laboratory after finally getting out.

However, he still had to find a way to escape from Orochimaru's clutches! He also had to collect the Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist, so how could he stay here and waste his life?

"Suigetsu, I'm not interested in you now. As long as you help me capture the Three-Tails, you will be free in the future..." Orochimaru said without turning his head, his eyes full of passion for the tailed beasts.

Shuiyue is the key to recovering Sanwei. If not, he wouldn't have brought him out...

"Really? You didn't lie to me?" Upon hearing this, Shuiyue, who had been frowning, was instantly overjoyed.

If he could be free, why would he risk running away...

"Suigetsu, are you questioning Lord Orochimaru??"

"No, no, no, I didn't, I didn't." Shuiyue hurriedly waved her hands and smiled awkwardly, secretly cursing Dou for meddling in her business.

"Puff puff……"

Suddenly, just as Shuiyue was secretly complaining, dozens of pink crystals suddenly burst out from the bottom of the sea and bound the three people on the spot.

"Oh no, enemy attack!" Shuiyue screamed and her whole body turned into water and fell into the sea.

However, Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi did not move at all.

"Honglian, are you welcoming me like this?" Looking at the pink crystals that bound his body, Orochimaru spoke calmly.

The next second, a woman with blue hair and green clothes suddenly appeared and half-knelt on the sea. "I didn't expect that Lord Orochimaru would come here in person. I'm sorry for offending you..."

At the same time, the crystals on Orochimaru and Kabuto's bodies turned into snowflake crystals and scattered...

"Long time no see, Guren." Looking at the woman in front of him, Orochimaru's eyes flashed with a hint of touch and he smiled faintly and nodded.

If there hadn't been all sorts of accidents, this woman might have been his current body! A reincarnation vessel with a Crystal Release Kekkei Genkai.

"Come on, take me to the lake where the three tails appeared."

"This..." Honglian froze when she heard that, and looked embarrassed. "Lord Orochimaru, the lake where the Three-Tail is hiding is connected to the sea and is bottomless. Youkimaru can't control it with his ability alone, he can only influence the Three-Tail to make it react. But it is deep under the lake, and we can't find its exact location with this little movement."

"This is enough!" Orochimaru said confidently with his eyes narrowed.

Seeing this, Honglian was about to refute, but she saw the sea water next to her suddenly surge out and take on a human form. "I see, so this is my mission? Find the three-tail underwater and lure it out."

"It seems that you are very smart, Suigetsu..." Yakushi Kabuto praised at the right time, letting Honglian know the battle plan.

"I understand, Lord Orochimaru." Honglian suddenly realized and immediately created a crystal clone to lead the way, while the original body went to pick up Youkimaru.

Soon, the group disappeared into the foggy sea.

"Haha, I didn't expect that monitoring Orochimaru would bring unexpected rewards! It's worth it that we tracked him all the way after we found him."

"Three-tailed, it finally showed up! We must notify the main body immediately..."

Almost less than half a minute after Orochimaru and his companions left, two White Zetsu clones emerged from underwater and talked to each other.

As the White Zetsu clone information was released, a special chakra flew out from the sea at the speed of light and passed through the roots of the earth...

Orochimaru, who was completely unaware of this, followed Honglian all the way to an island chain lake.

"Let's start, Youkimaru." Carrying the young man on his back and stepping onto the lake, Honglian nodded to Orochimaru and said directly.

Although it is possible to take a boat, it is not as maneuverable. The ability of Youguimaru cannot directly cover the entire lake.

“Haa ...

Just as Youguimaru let out a loud shout, the instrument on his head immediately emitted invisible chakra waves that flowed into the lake.

Under the gaze of Orochimaru and the other two, Guren was seen running at a very high speed carrying Youkimaru on his back, and soon they stopped in a corner of the lake.

And here, a large number of bubbles suddenly appeared on the calm lake surface...

"Shui Yue." How could Pharmacist Dou not understand what was happening after seeing this? He immediately urged everyone to be ready for battle.

Shuiyue also acted quickly, and almost at the moment the bubble was formed, she turned into water and sank into the lake.

"Well……"

Almost at the same time, the weak Youguimaru rolled his eyes and fainted, and the boiling lake surface returned to calm.

"I'm sorry, Lord Orochimaru. Youkimaru has done his best!" Honglian quickly came to Orochimaru, a little worried about the result.

"Kabuto, take the child to rest, and leave the rest of the battle to me and Guren..." Orochimaru waved his hand indifferently, not caring.

That’s enough!

Without saying much, Pharmacist Kabuto quickly took the Ghost Pill and ran towards the shore...

Almost at the same time when Pharmacist Kabuto came ashore, the calm lake surface began to boil again! And this time, it was a violent fluctuation over a very large area, like a whale's breath!

"It's out, Lord Orochimaru." Just as Honglian's eyes were burning, Suigetsu controlled the lake water and turned into a water monster that suddenly emerged from the lake and shouted.

Almost in the next second, a powerful chakra water bomb suddenly spurted out from the bottom of the lake and hit the Suiyue Water Monster! !

"Crystal Escape: Emerald Crystal Hexagonal Column..."

In a flash, Honglian quickly formed seals and shouted in a deep voice.

Puff puff puff puff puff…

In the blink of an eye, several huge hexagonal crystal pillars connected together and appeared in front of Shuiyue.

“Boom…Crack…”

As expected, the hastily activated crystal column wall was shattered at the first sight, directly causing a tsunami impact...

"It was a close call. If I hadn't had that little time to react, I might have been seriously injured!" With a puff, Shuiyue poked her head out of the lake with a hint of fear.

As he poked his head out, a giant turtle with a gray body and spikes on its back broke through the water, swaying its three tails and roaring...

"Three tails, finally appeared!"

Looking at the three-tailed beast showing its full appearance, Orochimaru murmured with fiery eyes.
