Hearing such arrogant words from Uchiha Yato, Orochimaru's expression did not change in the slightest, as though he had long expected him to say something like that.
Yet in that instant, the corners of Orochimaru's lips lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile.
This smile differed from his usual sinister cunning, seeming to carry a touch more sincerity.
Orochimaru had seen Yakushi Kabuto's little moves and earlier actions clearly.
Whether it was real or fake, at least in front of him, Uchiha Yato still knew to put up a slight pretense, which improved Orochimaru's mood somewhat.
"Then, Yato-kun, lead the way. Kabuto, prepare the things." Orochimaru's voice was calm and mild, without the slightest ripple.
Seeing this, Yakushi Kabuto hurriedly replied, "Yes, Lord Orochimaru." He quickly prepared several necessary items, then followed closely behind Orochimaru.
And so, the three of them headed together toward the location of that spacetime tunnel.
Along the way, Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto were both somewhat silent, seemingly filled with fear toward the unknown thing they were about to face.
When they finally arrived before the pitch-black, constantly shrinking vortex, Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto's expressions both turned grave.
This spacetime tunnel looked exceptionally mysterious, making one instinctively feel apprehensive.
However, Uchiha Yato appeared exceptionally calm. The reason he was so composed was that he possessed the system's detection ability and could clearly see that this spacetime tunnel had stabilized.
Seeing the faint fear on Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto's faces, Uchiha Yato secretly laughed. He felt this was an excellent opportunity to properly mess with these two.
"Well then, you two, I'll be leaving first. If anything happens, remember to set up a cenotaph for me~" Uchiha Yato's lips curled up, revealing a teasing smile.
At such a critical moment, Uchiha Yato still had the mood to joke
