A sage from Ryūchi Cave came to eat people?

"Creak."

The wooden door made a noise when it was pushed open.

In the dimly lit room, Jugo and Karin couldn't see clearly for a moment, their pupils gradually adjusting to the contrasting light between the outside and the inside.

However, Kabuto Yakushi had already adjusted and immediately spotted someone lying on the bed.

Black background with red clouds...

He followed the gaze upwards, and when he saw the top, Kabuto Yakushi's gaze immediately stopped, staring intently at the other person's face.

"Karin, was the masked person you saw earlier wearing a yellow, Uzumaki mask?"

"Yes!" Karin nodded, her vision gradually adjusting.

"Ah, it's him, it's him, the masked man who went on a killing spree in the Dungeon."

Jugo nodded, cautiously approached Karin, and underwent a transformation, activating Sage Cursed Seal Mode.

Just then, the masked man in front of the three of them suddenly sat up.

"We have guests? Who are you?"

Obito Uchiha's exposed Scarlet Mangekyo Sharingan swept over the three people in front of him Kabuto Yakushi.

He was certain he didn't recognize any of the three men; only the bespectacled man in the red robe seemed vaguely familiar, but he couldn't place him at all.

It probably wasn't a very important role, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have forgotten it.

He whispered to himself.

Where is Lord Orochimaru?

"Kabuto Yakushi," Yakushi asked.

Obito Uchiha taken aback. "You're also looking for Orochimaru?"

However, he frowned after speaking, because the other party addressed Orochimaru with honorifics.

"Are you Orochimaru's subordinate?"

"So you know where Lord Orochimaru is?"

Kabuto Yakushi asked in return.

"And who are you? Why are you looking for Orochimaru? And what's the meaning of you coming here to find Orochimaru?"

Obito Uchiha's expression darkened as he retorted.

"And you, who are you?"

"Kabuto Yakushi asked in return."

Xiangling/ Jugo:...

They were both speechless.

The two of them kept asking questions, but what could they possibly get out of that?

No one answered.

Is this what a duel between masters looks like? Even their questions are exchanged one after another, with no one answering...

Jugo inwardly grumbled.

"Tell me Lord Orochimaru's whereabouts. Did you kill him?"

Kabuto Yakushi narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Obito Uchiha's face, trying to discern his subtle expressions.

However, Obito Uchiha was wearing a mask, so he couldn't possibly have any micro-expressions.

Upon Obito, Obito's eyes narrowed slightly. "What does Orochimaru's disappearance have to do with me? I'm also looking for Orochimaru, but if I can't find him, I can kill him!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Karin and Jugo's eyes widened in surprise.

How did a fight suddenly break out?

Without any warning!

"Let's retreat!" Jugo, now in his Sage Body, grabbed Karin and, without looking back, smashed through the door and rushed out, instantly getting away from the two of them.

At this moment, Obito had already made his move towards Kabuto Yakushi.

Kabuto Yakushi had just learned the Senjutsu, beamed with a confident smile.

I am invincible!

Facing Obito who was coming towards him, he directly hurled several thick, white snakes at Obito Uchiha, aiming to bite him.

However, Obito Uchiha did not dodge at all.

Seeing this, Kabuto Yakushi's smile widened.

It's important to know that the many snakes summoned by his Multiple Shadow Snake Hands contain a lot of venom that paralyzes the Paralysis Nervous System. Once bitten, the paralysis lasts for at least several hours.

However, the next second, a look of astonishment appeared on Kabuto Yakushi's face.

Instead of being swallowed by the swarm of snakes summoned by the Shadow Snake Hand, Obito Uchiha walked straight through them!

It charged straight at him.

What on earth is going on?!

Is it some kind of special ability of his?

In Sage Mode, Kabuto Yakushi's senses were extremely sharp, and he was able to perceive the danger emanating from the masked man before him.

He instantly transformed into a massive white serpent and darted to the side.

Obito Uchiha's expression suddenly changed.

"This is... Transformation?"

"No wonder I had such a strange feeling of familiarity earlier; it turns out I have the same snake-like attributes as Orochimaru."

"Snakes are indeed much harder to catch... However, my Kamui doesn't need to catch you. Just by touching you, I guarantee you will not escape."

He murmured to himself.

In the blink of an eye, he changed his movements in mid-air, quickly retracting his outstretched hand.

Then he quickly Hand Seals.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

Instantly, a ball of flame spewed from his mouth, blocking the path of Kabuto Yakushi.

Kabuto Yakushi's expression changed slightly.

How can it both ignore my Ninjutsu and pass through, and still launch its own Ninjutsu attacks?

What kind of insane ability is this?!

Seeing that the Great Fireball Technique blocked his path, Kabuto Yakushi leaped high into the air and plunged headfirst into the ground.

"It can even burrow underground?" Obito Uchiha narrowed his eyes slightly, not expecting that Kabuto Yakushi would have such an ability after Transformation a snake. After all, no matter how you look at it, this ability doesn't seem like something a snake would usually possess.

However, he didn't care.

Obito Uchiha, having landed back on the ground, quietly observed his surroundings.

In reality, he knew perfectly well where Kabuto Yakushi would appear from—right beneath his feet, the perfect spot for any Earth Style Ninjutsu) to launch a sneak attack. However, he deliberately looked around, intentionally revealing this weakness.

"Bang!" The sound of earth breaking through the ground rang out.

"They're here!" Obito Uchiha was overjoyed.

He lowered his head and reached out to grab it, and at that moment, a thick White Snake emerged from the ground, its blood-red mouth wide open!

He froze, his expression filled with astonishment. Why did this snake seem different? Unlike the one or two-meter-long snake form that Kabuto Yakushi Transformation into, this one was five or six meters long! Its mouth was even wider, enough to swallow Obito Uchiha whole in one gulp!

"Snap—!" The giant White Snake suddenly bit down, aiming directly at Obito Uchiha!

"Kabuto Yakushi, that's a good day, another one..."

"Um?"

"Wrong!"

The White Snake found it very strange; it had clearly aimed for Obito Uchiha's waist, but it didn't feel like it had bitten him at all!

Just then, a black vortex suddenly appeared to the side of the White Snake's eye. The Masked Man from before stepped out of it!

"What on earth is going on?" The White Snake was shocked, its eyes barely moving.

Obito Uchiha Hand Seals.

Fire Style: Blast Wave Wild Dance!

A vortex of storm-like flames swept towards the giant serpent, covering a vast area and attacking with incredible speed!

The giant white snake in front of them had no time to react before it was engulfed by the Sea of Fire.

"Sage!"

Suddenly, Kabuto Yakushi burst out of the ground behind Obito Uchiha, and dozens of White Snake swarmed Obito him!

In an instant, we will tightly bind it and kill it!

"If that's all there is to it, you're far inferior to Orochimaru."

Obito Uchiha's lips curled slightly, completely unconcerned about the White Snake attacking him, and stood quietly watching the large White Snake being engulfed by the Sea of Fire.

"Sage from Ryūchi Cave comes to the Shinobi World to eat people? What a beast!"
