Shamu and Madara appeared behind Orochimaru in the next instant.
Shamu was still gripping Daemon in his hand.
After setting Madara down, Shamu swung his backhand and punched Daemon in the head again.
"This is Daemon. No one let him touch you."
"Otherwise, there'll be Intent Reflection!"
Only Orochimaru, Tobirama, and Minato were in the laboratory.
The three of them scattered at once.
As Shamu's hands moved in a blur of afterimages, Daemon could no longer laugh.
The excruciating pain in his face made him scream continuously.
"I'll kill you! Kill you! ..."

Shamu's eyes were as cold and hard as stone as he mechanically threw punch after punch.
Daemon's face turned black and blue, dark and bluish bruises rapidly piling up.

That was not Shamu's goal anyway. He had brought him back simply because Orochimaru needed test material.

"Lord Shamu, Code and Eida are invading Konoha."
"They're traveling through Code's Claw Marks. We can't stop them!"
"And none of our people along the way can attack Eida."
"They're expected to reach you in twenty seconds."
Ino was in the monitoring room, delivering her report rapidly.
Ino was reporting to everyone there at once, and Orochimaru and Minato immediately prepared themselves.

Shamu's expression sharpened as he asked Daemon, "Do you think your sister can save you?"
Daemon had just opened his mouth when Shamu slammed a fierce punch into his jaw.
Even the faceplate of Shamu's Sage Art
