Naruto: Mikoto, Tsunade won't let anyone go.

At this moment, Orochimaru disregarded the sensory ninjas that Uchiha Kakuzan was worried about. His gaze towards Orochimaru had become fanatical, and he asked urgently:

"Lord Qiushan, could it be that you have already reached the level of the legendary Sage of Six Paths?"

At this moment, Uchiha Kakuyama had completely suppressed his aura and looked just like an ordinary person.

Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Uchiha Kakuzan's lips curled slightly, and he nodded casually.

"Yes, I reached the Sixth Path level three years ago, and now I am only one step away from Kaguya."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Orochimaru's face showed a look of sudden realization, and he murmured excitedly:

"As expected, as expected. I knew there was an even higher level of understanding beyond the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju."

It's not surprising that Orochimaru would say that, because the peerless powerhouses at the Six Paths level have long since disappeared. Even the Sage of Six Paths, whose name is still known, is considered a myth because the era is so distant.

The only powerful figures Orochimaru could come into contact with were Hashirama Senju, known as the God of Shinobi, and Madara Uchiha, the Asura of Shinobi.

However, because Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha fought a decisive battle at the Valley of the End, Hashirama Senju emerged victorious, leading everyone in the ninja world to believe that Madara Uchiha's strength was inferior to Hashirama Senju's.

This made Hashirama Senju the strongest ninja in the world.

However, even so, Hashirama Senju's strength only reached the peak of the Super Kage level, still somewhat short of the Six Paths level.

However, both Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha are battle maniacs and protagonist-level characters who become stronger when facing stronger opponents. It is estimated that even if they encountered ordinary Six Paths level powerhouses, they would at most be at a disadvantage, but would not be crushed.

Orochimaru was very clear about Hashirama Senju's strength back then, which is why he was so excited.

After Orochimaru calmed down a bit, Uchiha Kakuzan continued with a smile:

"As far as I know, the strength of ordinary Otsutsuki clan members is at most at the Six Paths level. Even now, I can easily crush them."

Of course, before they came to our ninja world, my strength had probably already reached another level. By then, those ordinary Otsutsuki wouldn't even be able to escape, let alone fight me.

At this point, Uchiha Kakuzan looked at Orochimaru again and continued:

"Orochimaru, once I've captured those Otsutsuki clan members, it will be your turn to make your move."

With your abilities, you're probably capable of thoroughly researching those Otsutsuki clans.

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Orochimaru's eyes darkened slightly. After pondering for a while, a very sincere smile appeared on his face:

"Since Mr. Qiushan has said so, it would be too ungrateful of me to refuse. Besides, I really can't refuse the conditions Mr. Qiushan has offered."

At this point, Orochimaru's expression gradually became serious. He bowed slightly to Uchiha Kakuzan and said in a low voice:

"I hope you will take good care of me in the future, Mr. Qiu."

Seeing that Orochimaru had finally submitted to him, Uchiha Kakuyama smiled and nodded, saying:

"Orochimaru, I won't let you down."

Orochimaru was a very intelligent person. Now that he had become Uchiha Kakuzan's subordinate, he naturally assumed the role and asked directly:

"So, Lord Qiushan, the Otsutsuki clan hasn't arrived yet. What should I do now?"

Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Uchiha Kakuzan looked into the distance and said meaningfully:

"Now, you might need to go back to Madara Uchiha's side and give him something..."

Orochimaru was slightly taken aback upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words. He had finally escaped from Uchiha Madara's side. Was he really going to be sent back into the lion's den? And by his own volition?
