Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

"Art is explosion! Drink!"

Rumble!

A series of explosions rang out inside the underground base.

Orochimaru, having regained his footing, raised his head, his face grim, and said, "Two troublesome fellows have arrived."

As soon as the words were spoken, two figures fell through the large hole that had been torn open above their heads.

Amidst the swirling dust, the Akatsuki uniforms with their black background and red clouds were faintly visible.

The moment Kabuto saw who it was, he understood why Orochimaru's expression was so grim.

Soon, Deidara, with one hand on his hip and the other hand on his mouth, began to chew the clay vigorously and said with a smile, "Orochimaru, the traitor of the organization, we finally meet again."

"You stinking snake from the gutter, you won't escape this time," Scorpion, hiding inside the Scarlet Amber, said with murderous intent.

"is it?"

Orochimaru smiled grimly.

Orochimaru had no time to ponder why the Akatsuki had found this place at this time; he glanced at Kabuto Yakushi.

Yakushi Kabuto nodded knowingly, preparing for battle, and said:

"Lord Orochimaru, go do what you need to do. Leave this to me."

Orochimaru decisively turned around and headed deeper into the base.

"kill him!"

Suddenly, Scorpion's voice rang out.

Along with this, he also formed a hand seal.

Mind manipulation!

A technique that involves inserting a tiny needle through the brain's memory center to seal a person's memory; once the technique is lifted, the needle disappears, and the memory is restored.

The moment Sasori saw Kabuto, he recognized him as the spy he had planted.

At that moment, he decisively broke the seal on the other person's memories.

Pfft!

Kabuto felt as if his brain was expanding, as a flood of new memories rushed into his mind.

"So that's how it is."

Kabuto Yakushi fully understood himself.

Upon hearing Sasori's command, he instantly turned around and unleashed a palm strike at Orochimaru.

Then, Orochimaru sped even faster into the depths of the base.

Orochimaru himself never showed any intention of turning back.

Seeing this, the confident Scorpion's pupils shrank, and his expression turned very unpleasant.

Deidara, standing to the side, shrugged and said, "Although I don't know what happened, it seems like you've been tricked, Sasori-ge."

"Do it!"

Scorpion said coldly, "I never imagined that the pawn I control would betray me."

"It's long overdue."

Deidara flicked his hand, and a large number of explosive clay grasshoppers hopped and leaped rapidly toward Kabuto Yakushi and Orochimaru.

"This is really troublesome. I just hope we can hold out until Lord Orochimaru successfully changes bodies."

Yakushi turned around, looked at the scene, sighed, and earnestly began to carry out his mission of blocking the enemy.

The fierce battle then began.

A quarter of an hour later.

"Wind Release: Pressure!"

"Magnetic Escape·Private Gold!"

As the terrifying gold dust storm swept through, the underground base collapsed completely with a loud "boom," and Sasori and Deidara managed to escape from inside.

Blowing the dust off his body, Sasori looked coldly at Orochimaru, who seemed like a completely different person amidst the storm, Kabuto Yakushi, who was unconscious and on the verge of death, and two other well-known figures. His tone was not pleasant as he spoke:

"We were still a step too late."

Chapter 71 An Unexpected Acquaintance

The ground was covered in sand and dust.

The resurrected Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, first glanced at Sasori, whom he had just fought and who was clearly a puppeteer from Sunagakure, then turned to Orochimaru beside him, his eyes filled with killing intent, and said:

"Orochimaru!!!"

Just like the Third Kazekage back then, he died a very unsatisfying death.

After all, he never expected that Orochimaru, who was already an ally, would stab him in the back.

Until his death, he could not understand the other person's motives for doing so.

"Long time no see, Fourth Kazekage." Orochimaru greeted his old acquaintance with a smile.

Thanks to Kabuto's desperate attempts to stop him, and the labyrinthine layout of the underground base, he successfully completed the Reanimation Jutsu before the Akatsuki arrived. Although he didn't obtain Sasuke's body, he at least regained some fighting strength to get rid of the Akatsuki's current troubles.

Everything that happened today was completely unexpected for him.

It was as if an invisible black hand had completely disrupted his plans.

Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils were filled with a cold light.

He swears!

We must investigate thoroughly to find out who betrayed us!

"Where is this place?"

At that moment, another voice rang out.

Besides the Fourth Kazekage, another person was summoned.

Liedou looked at everything before him, his eyes filled with confusion.

As a native of Sunagakure, Rasa quickly recognized Retsuto's identity and said respectfully, "First Hokage, this is the human world. We were summoned here by the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

“Reanimation Jutsu,” Liedou murmured.

The Impure World Reincarnation truly gained fame in the ninja world after Hashirama Senju's death, during the reign of Tobirama Senju, who was freed from constraints and allowed himself to run wild.

At that time, the Kage from all the major ninja villages had come to the Second Hokage, so it was normal for Retsuto not to know.

Just as he was about to ask something else, Orochimaru spoke up:

"Alright, that's it for the old folks who always chat whenever we summon them."

"We must not repeat the lesson that Yu Yi Xuan Yue taught us last time."

After saying that, Orochimaru formed hand seals, preparing to completely control the bodies of the First and Fourth Kazekage.

"Yu Yi Xuan Yue? Why are you suddenly mentioning him?"

Lie Dou was stunned. After so many years, he never expected to hear the name of the person who had left such a deep impression on him from a younger generation.

However, due to time constraints, he was unable to learn more before Orochimaru erased his consciousness.

The First Kazekage's brief journey through the world has come to an end.

"Now, it's time for the Sand Village war."

Orochimaru finished speaking to Sasori with a wicked grin.

The first Kazekage, Retsuto, was engaged in fierce combat, while the fourth Kazekage, Rasa, swiftly charged towards him.

"Boring."

Sasori, who had turned the Third Kazekage into human puppets, no longer cared about the so-called Sand Ninja and ignored Orochimaru's "good intentions," so he started to take action.

The battle between the Akatsuki and Orochimaru has begun again.

Unaware that one of her old friends had stayed in the mortal world for a while, Hagoromo Gengetsu led Sasuke on a journey across the ninja world.

There are many countries in the ninja world.

Aside from the five well-known major countries and the occasionally mentioned Land of Waves, Land of Hot Springs, Land of Fields, Land of Snow, etc., there are also many small countries scattered around, some of which are so small that they are not even marked on a map.

Just like a place the size of a village can be called a country, even if the daimyo of that country lives a life worse than that of an ordinary rich person, as long as the title remains, he is still a so-called daimyo.

Scorpion's so-called record of destroying a country refers to the destruction of small countries like this.

The place that Yu Yi Xuan Yue was about to take Sasuke to was also a small country like this.

The Land of the Keys.

A country that is unknown to the general public, but is well-known among wandering ninjas, bounty hunters, and black market merchants.

The reason for this is that there is a ninja organization called the Lock Village that sells information.

"I've been here before!"

After traveling for two days and already far from the Land of Fire, Sasuke looked at the steel bridge spanning the cliffs on both sides and suddenly spoke.

That was a prisoner exchange mission carried out by Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura, and other Konoha ninja.

If he remembered correctly, the prisoner from Konoha was a woman named Ari, who had connections with Kakashi.

"is it?"

Yu Yi Xuan Yue ignored all of this and led Sasuke to the bridgehead.

There, a group of people were waiting.

Soon, the two sides met.

The moment the old man at the head of the group saw Yu Yixuanyue, he became extremely excited and said:
