Frost formed on Orochimaru's body.
Although Yuichi didn't freeze him completely, in this state, Orochimaru looked like a snowman.
His body had completely lost eighty percent of its feeling.
Although his consciousness was barely clear.
He couldn't even mobilize his chakra.
He could only stare at Yuichi with wide eyes.
Letting go of his hand, Yuichi said calmly.
"So now, can you give me what I want?"
Orochimaru's body was trembling slightly from the cold.
Looking at Yuichi, his gaze became much calmer.
"It's in my base! Do you want me to take you there to get it?"
"Of course." Yuichi nodded.
Go to Orochimaru's base?
Sasori was suddenly interested. He was also quite interested in many of Orochimaru's things.
"Where is Orochimaru's base?"
Sasori walked up and asked Orochimaru.
Orochimaru: "To the north, on a small island not far away."
Sasori turned to look at Yuichi. "Let's go, Yuichi."
With that, Sasori prepared to walk north.
But Yuichi stood in place without moving.
Sasori turned back. "Let's go! Aren't you in a hurry?"
Swish!
Yuichi threw the frozen and unconscious Orochimaru to Sasori.
Sasori used his chakra threads to wrap around the flying Orochimaru to prevent him from making any small moves.
Then, Sasori looked at Yuichi with a puzzled face.
"What are you doing? Aren't you going to hurry up and get the ring back?"
Yuichi smiled. "Don't be in a hurry. Someone's here. I don't like people following me."
Someone's here?
Sasori didn't feel any other aura around.
There was no one at all!
But Yuichi said there was someone. Could it be that this guy had the talent for chakra sensing?
This person?
Terrifying chakra reserves, a terrifying Kekkei Genkai, and that strange ability to absorb ninjutsu.
Now, even his sensing range was wider than his.
Such a person, it was good that he wasn't an enemy.
But Sasori didn't detect any movement and doubted the truth of Yuichi's words.
Soon, Sasori also heard movement.
In the distant forest, someone was rapidly approaching.
The sound of their limbs colliding with the leaves made a rustling sound.
"There are three people approaching."
Sasori said.
Yuichi shook his head. "No! Four."
He looked up at the sky. There was a person in the sky.
Sasori followed Yuichi's gaze and looked up. A large bird was flying in the sky.
This bird was a bit strange. It didn't look like a real bird, but some kind of ninjutsu.
Sasori secretly glanced at Yuichi. 'This guy even detected the enemy in the air...'
Soon, from the bushes in front of them, swish! swish! swish!
Three figures rushed out one after another.
Yuichi looked up.
As expected.
Even if Sasori hadn't died, and hadn't told him about Orochimaru's intelligence, they had still come.
After rushing out of the bushes, the three of them stopped on a tree branch.
They stood steadily and looked at Yuichi.
Yuichi, under the tree, looked up at the three people on the tree.
"It seems we're quite fated."
"We meet again! Konoha's Jinchuriki!"
Naruto!
Sakura!
Yamato!
The three of them stared at Yuichi below with wide eyes.
The familiar blood cloud on the black cloak that swayed slightly on his body.
"Akatsuki!"
The three of them exclaimed in unison.
Yamato looked at the Yuichi in front of him. Although Yuichi was wearing Akatsuki clothes.
But seeing that Yuichi's age seemed to be about the same as Naruto's.
He felt a little relieved.
At this age, he shouldn't be too strong.
His gaze directly passed over Yuichi and locked onto Sasori behind him.
Sasori was holding Orochimaru.
And Orochimaru didn't look to be in a good state.
He looked as if he was on the verge of death.
An Akatsuki member captured Orochimaru?
What did they capture him for?
This person, to be able to capture one of the Sannin, Orochimaru, must be a powerful enemy.
On the contrary, Yuichi was subconsciously ignored by Yamato.
Yuichi was not old. At his age, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't be that strong.
But soon, the frozen bridge behind Yuichi and Sasori.
Made Yamato a little confused.
'What happened? Why is the bridge in this place frozen?'
Naruto stared at Yuichi. "Captain Yamato, this guy is the one who broke into Sunagakure and captured Gaara before. He's very strong. Be careful."
"Him?" Yamato was surprised to hear Naruto's words.
This guy, who looked to be about the same age as Naruto, was the monster who had captured Gaara?!
Was his strength really that strong?
Sakura also looked at Yuichi with a grave expression. It hadn't been long, and they had met this monster again.
"Don't get close to him easily, or you'll be frozen in an instant."
"This guy has the Ice Style Kekkei Genkai. His power is very terrifying."
Yamato was stunned again. The frozen bridge behind the opponent, could it be his doing?
And looking at the thick frost on Orochimaru's body.
Could it be that Orochimaru was also defeated by this guy's power?
You're kidding, right?
A kid of this age could even defeat one of the Sannin, Orochimaru?
"That's! Orochimaru? Naruto!" Sakura's attention had been on Yuichi.
Suddenly seeing Orochimaru behind him, Sakura was a little excited.
Because Sasuke had been taken away by Orochimaru back then.
With Sakura's reminder, Naruto also noticed Orochimaru.
Naruto was even more excited than Sakura. He directly asked Orochimaru impatiently, "Orochimaru, where's Sasuke!"
Orochimaru looked at Naruto and the others.
"Long time no see, Naruto Uzumaki."
"If you want to know where Sasuke is, you have to ask him. I'm the one who's been captured now."
"I don't dare to answer your question easily."
Naruto clenched his fists and turned to look at Yuichi. "Why did you capture Orochimaru?"
Yuichi: "I won't answer that question."
"Damn it!" Naruto secretly glanced at Yamato.
Yamato also knew about Orochimaru and the other rogue ninja from the village, Sasuke.
Now that they had unexpectedly encountered the Akatsuki, and there were two of them, it would be difficult to kill them.
Especially now that the new Team 7 had just been formed and their teamwork was not yet smooth.
Against such an enemy, the chances of victory were even lower.
So, instead of killing the two Akatsuki members.
It would be more meaningful to snatch Orochimaru and hand him over to the village for interrogation.
The Akatsuki had specifically captured Orochimaru. It was clear that Orochimaru knew something about the Akatsuki.
Otherwise, there would be no need for the Akatsuki to deal with Orochimaru.
With this thought, Yamato secretly made a hand sign to Naruto and Sakura.
The meaning of this hand sign was to snatch.
At present, the only one they could snatch was the Orochimaru in Sasori's hands.
The two of them nodded lightly.
Naruto and Sakura, who had been extremely wary of Yuichi's strength, now, because of Orochimaru, because it concerned Sasuke.
They had no intention of retreating at all.
Yamato stared at Yuichi.
He raised his hand, preparing to form hand seals.
Yuichi quietly watched Yamato.
'Wood Style?!'
Yuichi had never seen Wood Style. Although Yamato's Wood Style was a world of difference from the First Hokage's.
But he could also get a glimpse of what kind of power the so-called Wood Style was.
Just as Yuichi was thinking this.
A sound of wind breaking was heard in the sky.
A white figure descending from the sky charged directly at Sasori.
Swish!
In that instant, Yamato and the other two were stunned.
'Sai...'
