Orochimaru fell from the sky, plunging straight into the surging waves of Gold Sand.
The Gold Sand churned and lifted him, but no matter how hard it tried, Orochimaru couldn't stand.

Orochimaru glanced at him, suppressing the fury threatening to explode in his chest. His face darkened as he said, "Sasuke, I suggest you behave yourself, or
