The old dog was biting people again.

Orochimaru glanced indifferently at the approaching Anbu, licked his lips, and his Snake Eyes revealed a chilling killing intent.

Snap, he bit his thumb, and blood trickled down his lip.

"Summoning Technique!"

Bang!

A huge cloud of white smoke rose up, and a terrifying giant snake appeared out of nowhere, crushing a large grove of dense Forest that would take several people to encircle.

It was covered in Purple Stripes, with two horns on its head, resembling a monster that had not yet transformed into a dragon, and it opened its blood-red mouth to reveal two fangs.

"Orochimaru, every time you call me out, I get ganged up on and beaten up!" Manda bared his teeth and roared in extreme displeasure.

Manda is a disobedient Summoning Beast. Although it is powerful, it is also a great headache. Orochimaru has no choice but to appease Manda first and deal with the battle at hand.

"Don't worry, I'll prepare a hundred Sacrifice!"

"Hmph!" Manda snorted coldly upon hearing this, and her huge snake tail swept across, creating a whirlwind that sent the three Anbu rushing towards her flying.

Having landed a successful blow, Orochimaru did not pursue. Instead, he leaped into Manda's mouth. Seeing this, Hyuga Raiden hesitated for a moment before following suit and diving into Manda's mouth.

Seeing this, the Third Hokage, who was not far away, felt a pang of fear and immediately shouted, "Stop them! They're trying to escape!"

Unfortunately, the Third Hokage had barely finished speaking.

Bang!

A huge cloud of white mist exploded, Manda's figure completely disappeared, along with Orochimaru and Hyuga Raiden, who were also teleported to Alternate Dimension.

"So he escaped to Ryūchi Cave using a reverse Summoning Technique..." the Third Hokage murmured, his tense nerves finally relaxing.

Meanwhile, in a corner of Konoha.

A little girl nimbly leaped across the rooftops and swiftly disappeared into a deserted, dark Dark Alley, where the shadows swallowed her white figure.

"Oh, you've arrived quite early." Tōka said casually, looking at the dark figure in the Shadowy Corner.

Danzo on his cane, his old face hidden in the shadows. He didn't respond when he heard Tōka's voice.

He slowly walked until he stopped ten steps away from Tōka.

"Here's the information you requested." Danzo reached into his robes, pulled out a Scroll, gestured for Tōka to catch it, and then tossed it to Dongge.

The Scroll traced an arc in the air and landed in Tōka's hand with a light touch.

Just then, a sudden gust of cold wind swept by.

The Scroll that had fallen into the Tōka's heart suddenly burst forth with lines of Black Runes, filled with an eerie and chilling aura.

"Grab him!" Danzo shouted sternly.

On the high ground on both sides of the Dark Alley, more than a dozen dark figures descended one after another, surging towards Tōka like a tide.

Tōka's body was immobilized by the Cursed Seal, and his head was lowered, making it impossible to see the Ice Blue in his eyes.

Flame-like patterns pulsed, and a powerful Dojutsu emanated from his eyes.

Buzz!

An exaggerated force erupted, and the Root members falling from the sky were thrown out like broken dolls.

A gust of wind swept in, making Danzo squint. He raised his hand to shield himself from the wind and Wind and Sand with his sleeve, leaving only one cold eye staring at Tōka.

The atmosphere became tense because of the sudden appearance of the ninja.

The air was thick with tension. Their gazes met in mid-air, like two Hanabi of electricity colliding violently, producing a hissing sound.

"Binding Cursed Seal? That's useless against me!" Tōka sneered.

He wasn't controlled by the Cursed Seal at all. He slowly raised one hand, forming Sword Hand Seal- finger Hand Seals with one hand.

To Danzo's slightly surprised gaze, the Black Runes covering Tōka's entire body receded one after another, and the Cursed Seal hidden on the Scroll was removed.

"I underestimated you, Tōka." Danzo intently at Tōka's face, as if trying to see right through him.

Unfortunately, Tōka's calm and composed expression was like a deep, dark pool, unfathomable and difficult to discern.

Tōka hooked her finger on the thin rope that held the Scroll, and lifted it to reveal its contents.

A quick glance confirms that the information about the Deforming Mountain on this Scroll is accurate.

To be precise, the contents of the Scroll are not necessarily all true, but they are highly credible.

"Danzo, you're courting death, do you know that?" Tōka flipped his hand, hiding the Scroll in his wide sleeve, before raising his eyes to look coldly at Danzo.

He hesitated...

Keeping Danzo to cause trouble in Konoha is a very good option, but what if he's one of the targets of this scheme?

A faint light flickered in Tōka's eyes as she appeared deep in thought.

Danzo, Danzo took a barely perceptible step back, his movements extremely cautious. This small step, seemingly ordinary, actually concealed a hidden meaning.

Using his Tenseigan to control power, Tōka concentrated his chakra and unleashed it, sending the Root members flying with Repulsive Force.

With his Danzo immediately saw through the range of the Repulsive Force —eleven steps!

"Now!" Danzo's hand suddenly shot out from his sleeve, three sharp Shuriken between his fingers, reflecting a blinding glint of cold light.

Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!

Puff puff puff!!

Danzo a deep breath, his entire chest bulging, and then opened his mouth and exhaled a series of Air Bullets.

The sharp energy shot through the air, emitting a series of piercing buzzing sounds.

Tōka stared blankly at Danzo, as if watching a clown's performance. "Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere, a powerful and highly concealed Wind Release Ninjutsu."

"Unfortunately, you've met your match in me!"

Buzz!

A vast, ocean-like chakra erupted, transforming into Repulsive Force storm that instantly shattered the Vacuum Sphere that Danzo out.

At this moment, Danzo calmly aimed at the Shuriken and blew out strands of Wind Release Chakra.

The rapidly spinning Shuriken hummed, and the Wind Release Chakra Nature Transformation amplified Shuriken cutting power and attack range.

Danzo his finger, tossing out a fully-blessed Shuriken, and then inserted his other index finger into the hole of the Shuriken.

Then he flicked his Shuriken...

"Shuriken capable of slicing through Rock in one strike— Danzo was a master of Wind Release in Konoha, having perfected the use of Wind Release Chakra Nature Transformation."

Tōka silently praised him, but his hands didn't slow down either.

Her fair and delicate little hand was outstretched, with five slender white fingers spread out. Although Hanabi's weak body affected the performance of her Tenseigan, she still managed to do so.

But this level is still fine!

Several small, emerald-green orbs appeared around the palm of the hand, eventually coalescing into a single point!

Converging silver beams, piercing through Dimensional Barrier!

Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!

A dazzling light illuminated the dark Dark Alley, instantly dispelling the inky shadows...
