Orochimaru stared at Yakumo as if she were a work of art.
In Orochimaru's eyes, both Yakumo's body—which had successfully fused with First Hokage cells—and the Red Pupils gleaming with an uncanny light were things he coveted beyond measure.
Rarely, Orochimaru let out a sigh of admiration. "What a perfect body!"
"So he's Orochimaru, one of the Konoha Sannin, alongside Lord Tsunade and Lord Jiraiya? What a disgusting man."
Feeling Orochimaru's undisguised covetous gaze upon her, Yakumo shuddered with revulsion, breaking out in goose bumps.
She had no idea what was going on today.
The Akatsuki Organization traitor she had encountered earlier, the one hiding inside a puppet, had looked at her with the same possessive gaze.
And now Orochimaru was doing the same.

"I like your eyes!"
Orochimaru licked his lips and walked toward Yakumo, one step at a time.
His pace was unhurried, his expression relaxed, as if Yakumo were already in his grasp.
Yakumo glared furiously at Orochimaru. "You won't tell me? Then I'll just have to kill you!"
After a burst of laughter, Orochimaru kept walking and said, "Kid, do you really think you can kill me?"
Smack!
Yakumo wasted no more words. She brought her hands together. "Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"
Whoosh!
In an instant, countless vines surged up from the ground and swept toward Orochimaru with the force of a collapsing mountain.
Since her opponent was a powerful shinobi on par with Tsunade
