The first probe ended with Uchiha Obito phasing through the attack.
"Ho ho..."
Orochimaru did not continue attacking.
Instead, he controlled the Third Kazekage and walked over here.
"How about it, Konan?"
Orochimaru spread his hands and said to Konan.
His face had once again resumed the expression of an old senior.
"Are you planning to use the Third Kazekage to draw Hyuga Sho's attention away?"
Konan picked up Orochimaru's thread.

Unlike Uchiha Shisui, he was not dangerous.

"Konoha has a Perception Barrier. How should we get inside?"
Konan asked.
Konoha's Perception Barrier was spherical.
It covered a 360-degree range and enveloped all of Konoha.
Anyone who entered would be detected.
Even if they infiltrated from underground.
"Ho ho ho...
