I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

How could those angry demons keep up with Sasuke's speed? Sasuke didn't even bother to block and waste his energy when they swung their sticks several times, and just avoided them.

Tayouya saw that the tone of the flute sound changed, and the angry ghosts stopped moving instantly, standing there blankly. Then, three monsters with transparent bodies appeared as if their souls had left their bodies. These monsters had no eyes, noses, or ears. They were like fat snakes, with mouths covered with sharp teeth all over their bodies.

The three angry ghosts obviously increased their speed, and their attack range became longer as they bit Sasuke madly.

Sasuke tried to attack with the ninja sword, but the transparent part returned to its original state as soon as it was cut in half, and the extended part seemed to have no substance.

Coupled with the arrows shot by Kidomaru from time to time, Sasuke was somewhat busy dealing with them for a while and was unable to break through the opponent's attack.

Earth escape, earth prison

Jirobo shouted and earth walls rose up where Sasuke was, surrounding him. Sasuke jumped up and tried to leave the earth escape technique. Zuoyoujin, who had been standing by, did not give him a chance and ran to the top of the earth escape technique where it was about to merge. His two legs turned into afterimages and kicked Sasuke, who wanted to leave, down.

Sasuke in the air had no way to gain leverage and could only block with his ninja sword, and fell back into the prison formed by the earth escape technique, where there were three angry demons.

"What Uchiha? I don't know what Lord Orochimaru likes about him?" Zuoyou Jin was in a good mood at the moment, and said proudly while sitting in the Dojo Hall.

Tayuya, who had been controlling the angry ghost, closed her eyes. There was no room for Sasuke to hide in the dungeon. In her opinion, victory was already certain.

A ray of light emerged from the earth escape technique that Jirobo performed. Tayuya suddenly opened his eyes and shouted to Soichiron, "Idiot! Get out of here!"

Before Zuoyoujin could react, the earthen dungeon exploded in an instant. At this moment, Sasuke's surroundings were full of electricity, and the three angry ghosts just now had all fallen to the ground. Sasuke had already completed the Chidori Style Ninjutsu, and with the restraint of Lightning Style on Earth Style, he directly broke Jirobo's technique.

Souichi, who was sitting on top just now, was unable to avoid the attack of Chidori Flow and was knocked unconscious on the spot. He fell to the side and his life or death was unknown.

Jirobo reacted. He was just one step slower than Tayuya as he had been controlling the Earth Release. He then ran to the front to block Sasuke. There were no teammates in the team who could fight in close combat. Even if the Earth Release was restrained by the Lightning Release, he had to take responsibility.

"Don't even think about getting over there!" Jirobo rushed in front of Sasuke. His huge body made the whole ground tremble. His monster-like red palm grabbed towards Sasuke with wind pressure.

"Too slow..." Under the observation of Sasuke's Sharingan, Jirobo was full of flaws. He gently sidestepped the opponent's grab, and the ninja sword in his hand with lightning went straight through the opponent's chest. Jirobo fell to the ground with disbelief on his face, and the state of the Curse Seal II was slowly lifted, returning to its original appearance.

"What? It turns out he's still a human. Is this the result of Orochimaru's success?" Sasuke said indifferently as he looked at Jirobo who had returned to his original appearance.

"Ah!" When Kidomaru saw Jirobo being killed, he dropped his bow and arrow and turned to run. Sasuke had shattered his only confidence, and now he only thought about staying alive.

"Idiot! How could you run away!" Although Tayuya was a little panicked, she forced herself to calm down. However, she was speechless after that, as Sasuke's figure appeared in front of her.

"Magic Flute·Magic Sound Lock." Tayuya did not give up until the end and launched her specialty illusion, and Sasuke stopped swinging the sword.

Just as Tayuya showed joy, she felt a chill in her abdomen. She looked down and saw that Sasuke's ninja sword had already pierced her abdomen. The stop just now was just an illusion.

"Using illusion in front of Uchiha? How stupid..." Sasuke did not kill him and avoided the vital point. He wanted to keep him alive to get more information, so he turned and walked towards the unconscious Jia.

Bang bang bang~

Just as Sasuke bent down to check on Jia's condition, a burst of clapping sounds rang out in the cave. Sasuke's hair stood on end instantly, and he didn't even notice it at all.

Sasuke turned around and saw two figures emerging from the darkness.

"Long time no see, Sasuke-kun, I didn't expect you to have made such great progress." One of them was Orochimaru, whom he had met during the Chunin Exam. At this moment, his face was still the same as before, with a kind of sickly paleness.

"Lord Orochimaru, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again!" Kidomaru, who had already escaped, turned back into his original appearance. At this moment, his head was held down by Orochimaru's assistant Kabuto with one hand.

"Shh, didn't you hear Lord Orochimaru reminiscing about the past with Sasuke-kun? Let's not disturb them." Kabuto looked at Kidomaru with a smile on his face. His voice was so gentle that it seemed to be able to soothe others' hearts.

Seeing this, Kidomaru covered his mouth tightly with his six hands and nodded desperately without making any sound.

"Yes, that's right." Kabuto approached Kidomaru with a smile on his face. A chakra scalpel appeared in one hand and he stabbed it directly into Kidomaru's heart. Kidomaru began to struggle in pain, and Kabuto covered his mouth with his other hand.

"Didn't I tell you to be quiet? You're not listening again." Kabuto continued to attack Kidomaru while smiling. After a while, Kidomaru lost his voice.

"Kabuto, you are becoming more and more presumptuous..." Orochimaru said sinisterly. Ever since he escaped from Konoha from Uchiha Yalan, his awe of him has slowly weakened. Although he still looks loyal, it is inevitable that he will have other ideas.

"Lord Orochimaru, I'm just following your orders." Upon seeing this, Kabuto immediately half-knelt down with that asking-for-a-punch smile on his face.

"Haha, Sasuke-kun is still here, get up." Orochimaru would not be fooled by Kabuto's appearance. Now he had no time to care about Kabuto's little thoughts. His most important goal was still Sasuke.

"Orochimaru, what do you want to do?" Sasuke was no longer the same as the last time he saw Orochimaru. The murderous aura he released made his whole body unable to move. According to Ye Lan, Orochimaru's hands had been sealed by the Third Hokage, and his strength was far less than before. Even if he could not defeat him, there was a possibility that he could escape.

"What a confident look! It seems that Ye Lan-kun has taught you a lot." Orochimaru said, looking at Sasuke's eyes, knowing that he could no longer coax him into following him as before. Not to mention how he and Ye Lan fought, the two of them had not actually used their full strength at the beginning.

After Sasuke witnessed the battle between Ye Lan and Itachi with his own eyes, Orochimaru realized that Sasuke would never be able to follow him again in this life, so he used some small tricks.

"Sasuke-kun, don't you know exactly what I want?" Orochimaru said with a playful smile.

"Spying on the Uchiha clan's Sharingan..." Sasuke didn't expect Orochimaru to be so obsessed with the Uchiha's Sharingan. What on earth had he experienced to have such an idea?

However, as one of the last few members of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke also has his own pride. "Give up on this idea. Even if I die here, I will not give you the Sharingan."

"Don't be so absolute, Sasuke-kun..." Orochimaru didn't move his hands, but just kept looking at Sasuke. The murderous aura emanating from his body made Sasuke very alert.

Orochimaru took a step forward as if he was about to attack. Sasuke instantly put his ninja sword in front of his chest and prepared to make hand seals with his other hand.

Pfft—

Sasuke, who was preparing to fight Orochimaru, looked behind him in surprise, only to see that the unconscious Kabuto had woken up and was stabbing Sasuke with a ninja sword.

"Why..." Sasuke couldn't understand why the Anbu would betray the village. Looking at the mask worn by Jia, he wondered what kind of expression was underneath it.

"Lord Orochimaru, Lord Danzo asked me to say hello to you." Jia said to Orochimaru with a smile, not caring about Sasuke who had fallen to the ground. The knife just now did not stab the heart but the kidney, which could make a person lose strength instantly. Sasuke, who had been on guard against Orochimaru, did not care about Jia behind him.

"That old guy Danzo sent out a pretty good subordinate." Orochimaru was very satisfied. He had spent a lot of money to agree to Danzo's request, and finally got the result he wanted.

"Orochimaru, please show respect to Lord Danzo!" Jia shouted harshly. If Lord Danzo hadn't said that he had to cooperate with Orochimaru for the sake of the village, he would not have wanted to carry out this mission at all.

"Boy! In my eyes, Danzo is just a partner. You have no right to tell me what to do!" Orochimaru no longer hid his murderous intent and released all his armor.

He could not withstand this level of murderous aura. His legs went weak and he knelt on the ground. The mask of the Anbu had fallen off, revealing his somewhat feminine and fair face.

"I'll spare you this time. Go and report to Danzo." Orochimaru put away his murderous intent. Now was not the time to have a falling out with Danzo. He might need that old guy again in the future, so he couldn't kill this Anbu for now.

A picked up the mask again and without saying anything more, turned around and left the cave.

"Kabuto, heal Sasuke, don't let him die." After Jia left, Orochimaru commanded Kabuto. He didn't want to lose the next body he had prepared with great effort.

Kabuto walked straight towards Sasuke and found that Sasuke, who had fallen to the ground, was still conscious, staring at him.

"Sasuke-kun, don't look at me like that. Maybe we can become partners in the future." Kabuto adjusted his glasses and said with a smile.

"You...are worthy." Sasuke said strugglingly. It took all his strength to say every word.

"Okay, okay, let me heal you." Kabuto used the Palm Magic Technique, and when he started the treatment, he did not forget to throw Sasuke's ninja sword aside.

Seeing Sasuke's cannibalistic eyes, Kabuto said nonchalantly: "It's just a ninja sword. Orochimaru has a better collection. You will have better ones in the future."

"You think I would like that kind of thing?"

Looking at Sasuke, whose face turned pale, Kabuto said, "Don't talk anymore. It will affect your injury."

Sasuke finally closed his eyes and stopped talking, looking like he accepted his fate. His body was slowly getting better under the treatment of the Palm Senjutsu, but his chakra had been sealed, so he couldn't use any ninjutsu.

When Kabuto saw Sasuke's appearance, he stopped talking and concentrated on the treatment.

Just when the treatment was about to end, Sasuke took action, took out the kunai hidden under the ANBU arm guard and stabbed at Kabuto. Kabuto seemed to be prepared and directly grabbed Sasuke's wrist.

"I hate disobedient children the most, Sasuke-kun." There was no smile on Kabuto's face anymore, and he looked at Sasuke with some unkindness.

"Summoning Technique." Sasuke was just feinting. He activated the summoning technique that had been engraved on his left hand. Although he could not use chakra, his summoning technique could be replaced by natural energy. He closed his eyes just now just to gather a little bit of natural energy.

Kabuto's face changed drastically and he immediately left Sasuke's side.

Orochimaru also had a grim expression on his face. This was a trap he had carefully designed for Sasuke, but he didn't expect that an accident would happen in the end. He stared at the thick smoke produced by summoning.
