Orochimaru stood proudly atop the Ten-Tails' head, his kimono fluttering coldly in the wind, his aura both bewitching and dangerous.
Nagato and Uchiha Madara stood behind him on either side, both expressionless.
The moment Hyuga Hiashi's gaze fell upon him, Orochimaru noticed it. Following that faint sensation, he looked over and flashed a brilliant smile. "So I've been discovered. As expected of the Byakugan—there's great research value in it!"

"Everyone!!"
Seeing this, Darui immediately rushed out and roared, "The Hokage, Raikage, Tsuchikage, Mizukage, and Kazekage have brought reinforcements! They'll be here soon! Everyone, hold the line!! Do not retreat under any circumstances!!!"
Darui's shout reached everyone on the battlefield, but faced with a monstrosity like the Ten-Tails, how many ninja could truly remain unmoved?
"Damn it!"
Darui had no way to stop the despair spreading through the hearts of every
