"Hm?"
Konan's heart sank.
She knew that Orochimaru in this state was no match for Uchiha Asuka, but what she hadn't expected was for Orochimaru to last only a few minutes.

A shuriken thrown by a ninja on the battlefield suddenly expanded more than tenfold. It instantly pierced through an Impure World Reincarnation ninja's chest and pinned him firmly to the ground.
The Impure World Reincarnation ninja was already covered in wounds, and his recovery speed could no longer keep up with the rate at which
