The midday sun was blocked by thick clouds.
The blowing wind carried a rare coolness.
On the Tenchi Bridge.
Sasori slowly walked up from one end of the bridge.
On the other side, a person wrapped tightly in clothes was already standing in the middle of the bridge, waiting.
Sasori slowly walked forward and looked at the other person.
A low, hoarse voice sounded.
"You weren't discovered when I called you out so suddenly this time, right?"
The other person turned to look at Sasori. "Ah! Don't worry! I've been relatively free recently. It shouldn't have attracted any attention."
As he spoke, the robe on the other person slowly fell.
Kabuto Yakushi appeared.
His eyes gave Sasori a strange, indescribable feeling.
Looking at the fierce glint in Kabuto's pitch-black eyes.
Sasori narrowed his eyes.
'Could that guy Yuichi's feeling really be right?!'
Before coming here, Sasori and Yuichi had discussed that Yuichi should not appear for the time being. After finding Orochimaru.
He would then launch a surprise attack on Orochimaru, and also to prevent him from escaping.
After all, the last time he and Deidara had gone to hunt down Orochimaru.
Orochimaru had unexpectedly escaped.
So this time, Sasori had asked Yuichi not to appear with him, but to hide in the shadows.
However, when they were here, Yuichi felt that the spy was not reliable, and that he might have defected to Orochimaru.
Sasori had trusted Kabuto.
But with Yuichi's reminder, Sasori now also noticed that something was off about Kabuto.
Although this small detail was not enough to prove anything.
Sasori couldn't help but think of Yuichi's words.
"Where is Orochimaru?"
Sasori suppressed the suspicion in his heart and asked calmly.
Kabuto looked at Sasori with a blank expression, then raised his hand to adjust his glasses.
"He's on a small island to the north, not far from here."
"He'll be there for three days."
Hearing this, Sasori nodded with satisfaction.
"Good. This time, I won't let Orochimaru escape again."
As Sasori spoke, the expression on Kabuto's face changed slightly.
"Ah! You're finally going to make a move against him. Everything is about to end."
"I will find a way to lure him out for a meeting."
Under Sasori's gaze, Kabuto's expression became a bit sinister.
His tone also seemed to carry a strange undertone.
At this time, in the distant forest, Yuichi was sitting on a tree branch.
He watched the two people in the distance with his arms crossed.
Although he couldn't hear what the two were saying.
Yuichi could feel that another aura had appeared.
'Is this aura Orochimaru's?'
Just as Yuichi was thinking this.
Swish!
A third figure appeared on the bridge. It was Orochimaru.
Orochimaru appeared behind Kabuto, and the large snakes on his body were about to wrap around him.
It was a scene of a spy being discovered.
Orochimaru suddenly appeared, and Kabuto leaped towards Sasori.
Sasori's attention was completely on Orochimaru.
He was not very guarded against Kabuto's sudden approach.
Being discovered while meeting with a spy.
Now, Sasori's focus was all on Orochimaru.
After Kabuto landed beside Sasori.
Orochimaru spoke with a somewhat angry look. "I didn't expect you to have your people by my side! Sasori, you hide your secrets well!"
Sasori stared intently at Orochimaru. "I won't just let you go, Orochimaru. I'm determined to take your life."
BAM!!
The moment his voice fell, Sasori's body was suddenly hit hard.
His Hiruko puppet was suddenly struck.
Fortunately, Sasori had jumped away at the first moment, and the puppet's left arm was instantly destroyed.
The airborne Sasori's eyes widened as he looked at Kabuto, who had suddenly attacked him.
"Kabuto...!"
Sasori had originally trusted Kabuto.
But he never expected Kabuto to betray him.
'That guy was right.'
He controlled Hiruko's tail, which was like a scorpion's, and swept it quickly towards Kabuto.
Hiruko's tail was highly poisonous. A single scratch was enough to be fatal.
Kabuto's surprise attack had failed to kill Sasori in one blow.
His reaction was also extremely swift. Before Sasori's attack could land.
He jumped back to Orochimaru's side.
Orochimaru sneered.
"A quick reaction. Sasori, you've become more cautious."
Sasori, who had landed and stood firm, had an ashen face.
It wasn't that he had become more cautious. If it weren't for Yuichi's words from time to time.
He might have really been in danger this time.
If Hiruko was destroyed at the start of the battle, he would have to fight with his main body puppet.
Once he used his main body puppet, Orochimaru would know his weaknesses like the back of his hand.
After all, the two of them had acted together for a long time.
That guy knew his secrets.
This was also one of the reasons why Sasori wanted to kill Orochimaru.
Swish! Swish!
Suddenly, countless black snakes appeared from both sides of the bridge.
They charged madly at Sasori to bite him.
Sasori controlled his tail to cut the snakes in half.
However, the next second!
Orochimaru directly rushed at Sasori.
Large snakes emerged from Orochimaru's body and instantly wrapped around Sasori.
After several snakes had entangled Sasori, they quickly squeezed him with force.
BANG!
The body of Sasori's Hiruko puppet directly exploded.
Revealing the main body puppet inside.
However, these black snakes directly wrapped around Sasori's main body puppet, not giving him any time to escape.
Sasori's eyes widened as he stared deadly at Orochimaru.
Even if he was slow to react, he knew that this meeting with Kabuto was a plan by Orochimaru to deal with him from the start.
He had arranged the attack in advance.
He had him completely cornered.
Kabuto's surprise attack not being able to completely destroy his Hiruko puppet was intentional.
It only caused damage, reducing Hiruko's reaction speed.
The snake swarm attack left him with no extra time to react.
The large snakes wrapped around him now were also clearly prepared specifically to deal with him.
These snakes' strength was terrifying. They could directly crush his Hiruko puppet.
Now they had also controlled his main body puppet.
The dignified Sasori of the Red Sand was captured without any power to resist.
Sasori's face was ashen.
He glared at Orochimaru, his gaze as if he wanted to devour him.
A snake came out of Orochimaru's mouth. He pulled open the Akatsuki cloak on Sasori's body and locked onto the heart in the puppet's chest.
"Heh heh heh... Sasori, you're now food in my mouth. When to eat you, is when I eat you!"
"How does it feel to be unable to resist? Are you used to it?"
The black snake stared intently at the heart in Sasori's main body puppet's chest.
Ready to attack at any moment and bite off Sasori's heart.
But for now, Orochimaru wanted to chat with Sasori a little longer.
"Hmph! If you hadn't prepared in advance, you wouldn't have been able to capture me so easily."
Sasori had a look of anger on his face.
But Orochimaru was indifferent. "You can only blame yourself for being too careless."
"You shouldn't have come looking for me alone. With just you, you want to kill me? A hundred years too early! Sasori."
"Is that so!" Sasori's angry expression suddenly disappeared, and he turned to smile happily.
Orochimaru looked at Sasori, who could smile so happily when facing death, and felt speechless.
Sasori suddenly pouted, looking a bit unhappy, and said in a helpless tone, "Stop looking! Please, help me..."
Hearing this, the smile on Orochimaru's face instantly disappeared.
"There's someone else with you?"
Whoosh...
A cold wind blew.
Behind him, Kabuto Yakushi's eyes suddenly widened, and he said with a trembling voice, "Lord... Orochimaru... be... behind you!"
