The mountain peaks in the distance towered into the clouds, shrouded in mist as if veiled in mystery, making anyone want to uncover their secrets.
But up close, one could hear thunderous rumbling echoing between the peaks, enough to make anyone think twice about approaching.
Orochimaru stood beneath a tree, quietly watching the mountain wrapped in mist. The corners of his mouth lifted into a sinister smile.
This was his destination: Kumogakure, the second-largest village in the Shinobi World!
Orochimaru lowered his gaze to the little pill in his hand, a hint of anticipation rising in his eyes.
Something very interesting might happen today...
Orochimaru did not rush to sneak into Kumogakure. Instead, he waited patiently.
Only when a slender white snake crawled back to him did Orochimaru open his snake-like eyes again.
Cold, eerie light gleamed in them.
As expected, Ye Ning's plan had worked perfectly!
Sakumo had brought the Ino-Shika-Cho Clans, along with the rest of the shinobi forces, together into a terrifying force. Like a gambler who had lost everything and was betting it all on one last hand, he had staked his entire strength on the battlefield against Kumogakure.
The Third Raikage naturally refused to back down. Besides sending a large number of elite shinobi to the front, he had gone there himself.
Kumogakure's defenses were now seriously depleted.
And those defenses posed no problem at all for Orochimaru.
Before long, Orochimaru had infiltrated Kumogakure.
Having already discovered where Blue B was staying, Orochimaru headed straight for a valley some distance from the center of the village, without the slightest hesitation.
The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Blue B, was in this very valley!
In the shadows, Orochimaru licked his lips, clearly eager for what was to come.
Before long, he spotted Blue B in the valley.
