[Mission Hint: This is the main mission and cannot be refused or avoided.]
Uchiha Sasuke?
A mountain to climb?
Yuyi Xuan Yue glanced at Uchiha Sasuke beside him, who had taken the risk of being branded a traitor to seek strength from him.
Is this the mountain to overcome?
"Let me see your strength later," Yuyi Xuan Yue said to Sasuke.
"Okay!" Sasuke nodded excitedly, thinking that Yuyi Xuan Yue wanted to assess his abilities to guide him better.
"Where are we going?" Sasuke asked eagerly.
Yuyi Xuan Yue led the way without turning his head and said, "To a good place."
"Itachi, I've brought the person."
In the forest, Uchiha Itachi, who was looking in the direction of the God-Falling Valley, heard his partner's voice and turned around expressionlessly. He fixed his right hand on Kisame Hoshigaki's shoulder, where Zuo Kun's head was, and their eyes met. Itachi's three-tomoe Sharingan started spinning rapidly.
Soon, Zuo Kun's eyes, cloudy in death, lit up with joy in the illusion, and he said, "Lord Orochimaru! We have successfully brought back Sasuke."
Itachi retracted his hand and said indifferently, "I already know Orochimaru's location. Inform the leader."
Kisame snapped Zuo Kun's neck with a crisp crack, then nodded.
Soon, Pain, using the ring for communication, received the intelligence and passed the message to the closest artistic duo.
"Yo~ Brother Sasori, we've found that snake bastard who's been playing mole all day long." Deidara waved excitedly.
"That damn snake, this time we'll definitely peel his skin off!" Sasori said, his eyes cold and sharp.
Heretics are always more detestable than heretical sects.
Sasori, a fellow seeker of eternity, had always disliked Orochimaru. He was the most enthusiastic during the previous mission to hunt down Orochimaru.
But Orochimaru had hidden himself too well, and they hadn't discovered his whereabouts for a long time.
Now that they had found his lair, Sasori was naturally thrilled.
"Let's go!"
"Yeah!"
Deidara tossed his palm, and the tiny clay giant bird instantly enlarged. It carried Deidara and Sasori, spread its wings, and soared into the sky, speeding toward Orochimaru's lair as indicated by the intelligence.
"Ah!!! Where's Sasuke? Why isn't he here yet?"
Orochimaru's angry roars echoed through the underground base, his body aching from the pain.
Kabuto Yakushi, who had been monitoring Orochimaru's condition, pushed up his glasses with a grave expression. "None of the medications are working. We can't go on like this. Orochimaru, perhaps it's time for the backup plan."
"Where's Sasuke?" Orochimaru asked stubbornly.
Kabuto shook his head. "We haven't received any news for a long time. Most likely, they've failed."
"Not even with Kimimaro?"
Orochimaru looked at his burning hot hands and felt the unbearable burden on his soul. Finally, he accepted reality and said,
"Then..."
Boom!
Before he could finish his sentence, an explosion interrupted him, coming from above.
Accompanying the collapse was a joyous shout.
"Art is a bang! Cheers!"
Boom! A series of explosions reverberated throughout the underground base.
Orochimaru steadied himself and looked up, his face grim. "Two troublesome guests have arrived."
As his words fell, two figures descended through the large hole in the ceiling.
Amid the swirling dust, the black and red cloud-patterned Akatsuki uniforms could be faintly discerned.
The moment Kabuto saw the intruders, he understood why Orochimaru's face was so gloomy.
Soon, Deidara, with one hand on his hip and the other hand's mouth chewing on clay, grinned and said, "It's been a while, traitor of the organization, Orochimaru."
"You filthy snake, you won't escape this time," Sasori said, his voice filled with murderous intent as he stood within his puppet, Hiruko.
"Is that so?" Orochimaru replied with a chilly smile.
With no time to ponder why Akatsuki had found them at this moment, Orochimaru glanced at Kabuto.
Kabuto nodded, understanding, and prepared for battle. "Go, Lord Orochimaru. Leave this to me."
Orochimaru decisively turned and headed deeper into the base.
"Kill him!"
Suddenly, Sasori's voice rang out, accompanied by a hand seal.
'Brain-Washing Technique!'
A microscopic needle pierced through the memory center of the brain, sealing away the target's memories. Once the technique was released, the needle would disappear, and the memories would return.
The moment Sasori laid eyes on Kabuto, he recognized him as one of his informants.
Without hesitation, he released the seal on Kabuto's memories.
Kabuto's heart pounded as he felt his brain swelling with newfound memories.
"So that's how it is," he murmured, his eyes widening with realization.
Hearing Sasori's command, Kabuto spun around and struck out at Orochimaru with a palm.
Then, he watched as Orochimaru fled even faster towards the depths of the base.
Orochimaru never once looked back.
Witnessing this, Sasori's pupils contracted, a dark expression on his face.
Deidara, standing beside him, shrugged and said, "I don't know what just happened, but it looks like you've been played, Sasori."
"Attack!" Sasori ordered, his voice cold as ice.
"It's about time," Deidara said, flicking his hand. Dozens of exploding clay grasshoppers hopped towards Kabuto and Orochimaru.
"This is really troublesome now. I just hope we can hold on until Lord Orochimaru successfully transfers his body," Kabuto muttered, turning to face the attackers. He sighed and committed himself to the task of holding off the Akatsuki members.
Thus, an intense battle commenced.
After a quarter of an hour—
"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"
"Magnet Release: Iron Sand Gathering!"
An incredibly powerful sandstorm swept through the underground base, causing it to collapse with a deafening "boom." Sasori and Deidara just barely managed to escape the destruction.
Brushing the dust off their clothes, they stared coldly at the figure of Orochimaru, who seemed to have transformed, as well as the unconscious and critically injured Kabuto, and two other well-known individuals. Sasori's tone was icy as he said, "We were just a step too late."
