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

Hearing the occasional fighting sounds coming from the cave, the antelope and the gray wolf looked into the cave nervously. They didn't expect that there was actually danger inside the cave.

Just as the antelope was about to step forward, the gray wolf grabbed his wrist and looked at him in confusion.

"Antelope, I know you want to help the squad leader, but you know his strength. If we really encounter a powerful enemy, we won't be able to help even if we all go. And have you forgotten what the squad leader said?" Gray Wolf said calmly.

Sasuke only asked the two of them to guard the cave entrance, and if Sasuke didn't come out when the time was up, he would ask them to retreat to the village, which meant that their Anbu was simply unable to deal with this kind of danger.

The sound of fighting in the cave became louder and louder. Even if they stayed at the entrance of the cave, they could hear the faint sound. Then a shrill bird cry came from the cave, and the faces of the antelope and the gray wolf changed.

They all knew that Chidori was one of Sasuke's trump cards, and they were also very familiar with the voice of Chidori. The fact that Sasuke even used Chidori at this time showed that the enemy was not a simple character.

The antelope wanted to move forward, but the gray wolf had already blocked the entrance of the cave with its entire body, determined not to let the antelope pass.

"Gray Wolf, do you want me to do it?" Antelope's voice was a little cold. If Sasuke was just a little bit away from defeating the enemy, she would regret it to death if she found out later.

"The squad leader has even used Chidori, which means the battle is coming to an end. If you go there now, the battle will be over. You listen... there is no sound anymore." Gray Wolf pointed to the cave behind him. Sure enough, the sound of fighting was weakening, and in the end all the movement disappeared.

The antelope calmed down and stopped arguing with the gray wolf. He took a long breath and realized that what the gray wolf said was right. The battle was probably over.

"Be alert. We don't know if the next person to appear is a friend or an enemy. If it's an enemy, run and pass the information to the village immediately. I'll hold them back." Gray Wolf put on his brass knuckles again and looked towards the cave entrance with a wary look on his face.

The antelope didn't say much. She understood that Gray Wolf's decisions were all correct, and this rational approach was actually in the best interests of the village, but she just felt a little unhappy.

Da da da...

The hurried footsteps were getting closer and closer. The gray wolf and the antelope both raised their weapons. There was only one footstep, and it sounded a little panicked. It might be the enemy who wanted to escape.

When they saw clearly who was coming, they put down their weapons again. The person who came was none other than A from their team.

Seeing that they did not slow down at all, A whizzed past them and said only one word as he passed by, "Retreat!"

There was a wound on Jia's arm, and his steps were a little messy. Because of the mask, we couldn't see his current expression, but he must be very panicked compared to now.

When the gray wolf saw A's appearance, he followed without any hesitation. The antelope glanced at the cave, then looked at the two people who had already escaped, gritted his teeth and followed the gray wolf.

If this is really an enemy that Sasuke cannot deal with, then Antelope will only cause one more death if he goes there. In this situation, he can only return to the village and report to the Hokage.

"A, what's in there? Where's the squad leader?" Antelope caught up with the two men with great effort and asked directly.

"Inside is Orochimaru's experimental base. There are many of Orochimaru's experimental subjects, just like the ones we encountered outside, but they are obviously successful. They have rationality and are stronger than ordinary Chunins." Jia was at the front of the team at this moment. He seemed to have regained some rationality and spoke slowly.

"The strength of a Chunin isn't enough to panic you. Even though the squad leader is still a Chunin, if it weren't for his age he would have been a Jonin long ago. So what else is there?" Antelope analyzed calmly. As the one who had spent the longest time with Sasuke in the class, she understood that Sasuke's strength might be more than what he showed.

"Besides the experimental subjects, there is also Orochimaru!" Jia told his teammates directly without any pretense.

The antelope and the gray wolf's brains felt like they exploded, and their entire scalps felt numb. A man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Orochimaru is notorious in Konoha. He killed his mentor, the Third Hokage, with his own hands. His strength is unfathomable.

The last time Orochimaru invaded Konoha was still vivid in their minds. Facing Orochimaru was like a child facing a grown man. They had no chance of winning.

"Then how did you escape?" After being shocked, Antelope thought of another question. No matter how talented Sasuke was, before he fully grew up, he was no different from them in front of Orochimaru. Unless Ye Lan, who had once defeated Orochimaru, was there, they would have the confidence to face Orochimaru.

"Orochimaru's target is the squad leader." Jia said Orochimaru's purpose, "The squad leader blocked two attacks for me in the end and let me escape. Orochimaru turned a blind eye to my escape."

Antelope and Gray Wolf were silent. Jia's words seemed a bit contradictory, but for Orochimaru, who had a changeable personality, it was very likely that he would do such a thing.

The few of them fell silent again. After figuring out it was Orochimaru, they didn't have the courage to go back. Now the only thing they could do was to quickly report to Tsunade and tell her that Orochimaru had reappeared.

...

"Summoning Technique!" Sasuke drained every bit of energy in his body. He didn't know if he could summon the Seven Killing Skills. Now he couldn't use the energy of chakra at all. He could only hope that this move could bring a chance of a turnaround.

When the white smoke dissipated, Orochimaru's originally ugly expression became a little strange. In front of Sasuke appeared a normal-sized falcon, which looked about half the size of a human with its wings spread.

"Sasuke-kun, it seems that after staying in Konoha for a long time, you have become humorous." Orochimaru deliberately teased Sasuke. At this moment, he also understood the reason. The seal that Kabuto had just used made Sasuke unable to use much chakra, but the energy that Sasuke had just used made him feel somewhat familiar.

"Oh my, you really scared me. Is this your ultimate move, Sasuke-kun?" Kabuto retracted his bent and alert posture, and straightened his back as he looked at Sasuke's summoning beast.

Sasuke was speechless looking at the black-haired monster bird in front of him. He didn't expect that he could summon this thing. This guy didn't look like he had any fighting power at all.

The strange black bird made a cry, then looked at Sasuke and said, "Are you the second person to sign a contract with our clan? What's the matter with calling me out?"

Sasuke looked at the strange bird and still held on to a glimmer of hope. He said, "Can you help me deal with the two people on the opposite side?"

The strange bird glanced at the direction Sasuke pointed, then shook its head like a wave drum and said quickly: "No, no, those two guys don't look easy to deal with. You're asking me to die if you ask me to deal with them."

As expected, Sasuke held his forehead with his hand. Was there really no room for struggle at all? Although Orochimaru had no intention of killing him, he just didn't want to follow Orochimaru. Looking at his ghostly appearance, Sasuke himself didn't know what he would become if he stayed with him for too long.

"Although I can't deal with them, I have a way to let you escape. Boy, don't underestimate the Thunder Falcon clan!" said the strange bird somewhat proudly.

Sasuke perked up a bit after hearing that, and couldn't help but ask, "How to do it!"

"Kabuto." Orochimaru didn't want to wait any longer, so he directly ordered Kabuto to take action. He remembered the energy used by Sasuke, which was the natural energy he gave up at that time. Orochimaru didn't understand how Sasuke mastered this power, but unknown things mean accidents, and he wanted to end this matter with thundering means.

Kabuto didn't say anything more. A blue chakra appeared in his hand, the Chakra Scalpel, a ninjutsu similar to the low-end Raikiri. Kabuto did not take it lightly. He had to be on high alert when dealing with the Uchiha clan.

"Here I come! Boy, let me show you my moves first!" When the black thunderbird saw Dou rushing over, it flew directly to the top of the cave and flapped its wings to form a small storm. The storm was not powerful but carried a pungent fragrance that filled the entire cave.

Dou, who was moving forward, immediately realized that something was wrong and began to cover his mouth and nose, but he was still a step too late. At this moment, he seemed to have entered a space filled with gray fog and could not tell the front, back, left, and right from each other. He had no idea where to go.

It was another illusion, and Orochimaru was also hit but he reacted immediately. However, he was unable to form hand seals, so even though he knew it was difficult to break it, he could only start shouting Kabuto's name.

"Hurry up, kid, I can't hold this attack for long." The strange bird landed on Sasuke's shoulder and urged.

Sasuke also seized the opportunity and immediately stood up and ran towards the cave entrance. At this moment he saw Tayuya still struggling on the ground. At this moment, she had not given up her desire to survive.

Seeing Tayuya's look, Sasuke made a decision after hesitation. He directly lifted her up and ran towards the cave with her on his back.
