Start with the Mangekyō and leave Konoha with Madara.

"boom!"

A foot stepped heavily on the ground, and with a crisp explosion sound coming from the sole of the foot, a figure disappeared in an instant, turning into a distorted afterimage and disappearing into the air.

Shou had a tense face, was breathing rapidly, and ran forward stubbornly.

There was a flash of fire under his feet, and the recoil force generated by the explosion kept pushing him forward. The scenery on both sides quickly retreated. With the help of the "explosive step", he had already burst out at an unimaginable speed.

This speed is almost crazy. He is either running for his life or... hunting!

It wasn't until a large tree with lush branches and leaves appeared in the field of vision ahead that a gleam of light finally flashed in Shou's sinister eyes.

He stepped on the ground, and the whole person rushed out like lightning, clenched his fists at his waist, and shouted loudly, unable to hide his anger:

"You're dead, Ghost! Explosive Release: Mine Fist!"

"Boom!"

The moment his fist touched the bark, explosive chakra flowed through his body and violent energy was injected into it. The big tree that four people could hug together exploded in an instant, with smoke and dust rising and broken wood flying everywhere.

A man's figure crawled out from under the fallen tree trunk, rolled to the ground, and lay weakly on the ground.

He was wearing Konoha combat uniform, his long silver-gray hair was disheveled, he was gasping for breath, there were scattered wood chips stuck in his lower abdomen, chest, left leg and other parts, and bright red blood seeped from under his clothes.

"Are you the famous ghost?" Shou walked up to him step by step and looked down at him.

Kato Duan supported himself on the ground with his hands and raised his head with difficulty. There was blood at the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he was seriously injured by the explosion.

"Your spirit is strong enough to not shake my soul, but it's a pity that I have so many subordinates..." Hunter said in a low voice, "The ninja who wiped out the soul... is worth remembering. Tell me your name."

"My name is... Kato Dan..."

"Okay, then, Kato Dan, I will erect a monument for you." Shou raised his fist, aura flowing through his body, "Now, you can die!"

At this moment, a white snake suddenly jumped out like a ghost, bit Shou's arm, and then pulled it hard, changing the direction of his punch.

The fist hit the ground, causing a loud roar.

"what!"

Shou's eyes narrowed, and he endured the severe pain in his shoulder, and punched the white snake's head, but the snake dodged nimbly and its tail took the opportunity to wrap around his waist and abdomen.

"Explosion Style: Large Explosion Wave——"

The white snake spun around and swung its tail, using its powerful strength to throw the hunter far away and crash him into the dense bushes. Following a loud bang, the shock wave turned into a strong wind that washed over the jungle.

"This is……"

Kato Dan raised his eyes weakly, only to see the white snake spitting out its tongue and crawling in front of him, slowly opening its big mouth.

The mouth opened so wide that it was quite exaggerated. Just when Kato Dan was wondering, a pair of pale, slender hands reached out from the snake's mouth, prying open the upper and lower jaws of the white snake. A living person crawled out of the snake's belly and appeared in Kato Dan's eyes.

Wet black hair, pale face, a faint evil smile on the corner of his mouth, and a pure white snake suit that stretched slightly in the damp and cold air.

"It's been a long time, Kato Dan." Orochimaru walked out of the white snake's mouth and stretched.

"You are..." Kato Dan looked at the young man in front of him vigilantly, trying to identify his identity.

"What? It's been so long that you don't even remember your old classmates?" Orochimaru smiled and opened his hands, his voice hoarse.

"Old classmate..." Kato Dan looked at Orochimaru's face in confusion, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. The face in front of him was slowly overlapping with the appearance of a genius boy in his memory, "Orochimaru!"

Orochimaru licked his lips, "Yes, it's worth it for me to save you."

Suddenly, Kato's pupils shrank and he shouted in fear: "Watch out behind you!"

There was no need for his reminder at all. Orochimaru turned his body and narrowly avoided a fist. The angry face of Kari was reflected in his amber vertical pupils.

Seeing Kagi rushing towards Kato Dan behind him, Orochimaru opened his mouth, and his long tongue stretched out like a snake and wrapped around Kagi's neck.

He pulled back suddenly, and Shou staggered and lost his balance instantly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Orochimaru slapped out with his palm, and a whirlwind circulated around his palm. As a blue light lit up, a blue chakra ball quickly condensed and pressed on Shou's chest with a shrill buzzing sound.

"boom!"

A blue light burst out, and a powerful torque instantly swept through Shou's body, causing him to fly out like a kite with a broken string, and fall into the bushes in the distance again.

"You, you defected, didn't you?" Kato Dan struggled to stand up and said weakly: "Why did you save me?"

"What? Do you feel ashamed to be saved by a traitor like me?" Orochimaru turned his head slightly. "If you don't like it, I can just kill you."

As Orochimaru spoke, the white-scaled viper slowly crawled towards Kato Dan, moving its cold body inch by inch on his skin, finally stopping on his chest, slightly raising its head, its pair of vertical pupils flashing with a murderous gaze.

Kato Dan couldn't help swallowing his saliva and dared not say another word.

Orochimaru, a paranoid and eccentric genius, had a strange personality when he was a teenager and silently betrayed Konoha. Now that he has grown up, it is not surprising even if he suddenly attacked and killed people.

Orochimaru didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned his head, and walked forward step by step. "And... my goal is..."

"Explosion Style: Thunder Flash!"

The hunter went and came back, turning into an afterimage that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye and pounced forward. He put his palms together, and powerful impacts kept bursting out from his palms, and the trees along the way were destroyed in an instant.

Orochimaru clasped his hands together, then opened them again, air swirling around his body. It was still the "Rasengan" move, but this time the Rasengan had expanded dozens of times!

"Otama Rasengan!"

He raised his palms and pushed forward. The dazzling blue light illuminated the deep forest. He used the "Rasengan" as a shield to block in front of him and allowed the hunter to hit him hard.

"Boom boom boom!"

The explosions continued, and my ears were suddenly filled with violent roars. The air waves were surging and violent, and the rapid gale blew away everything within a ten-meter radius!

After the explosion subsided, Orochimaru stood there motionless, but Kaori was blown dozens of meters away. The ground between the two of them had already been damaged and was filled with black smoke.

"Have the reinforcements from Konoha arrived? Damn it! I won't give in!" Shou wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His chest was burning with pain because he had been hit by a Rasengan.

"You seem to have made a mistake." Orochimaru tilted his head, "I have nothing to do with Konoha, and nothing to do with this boring war. I am here for you."

"Stop joking!" Shou gritted his teeth and shouted, "I won't be fooled, all of you go to hell!"

"Tsk tsk, you can still move." Orochimaru stretched his neck and looked up and down at Shou. "What a trouble. Since we can't kill you, let's keep you alive for a while."
