"On the leader's orders, we've come to hunt you down."
Sasori spoke.
"Who would have thought that a snake and a scorpion like us would end up facing off?"
Orochimaru spoke with a hint of regret.
"Well, you're no longer a member of the Akatsuki, are you?"
Sasori had actually known Orochimaru for a long time, but that did not mean he could not bring himself to attack him.
Quite the opposite, Sasori had long wanted to make a move against Orochimaru.
Lin Guang said nothing. Orochimaru had heard his voice before, and although he could change its timbre and pitch by concentrating chakra in his throat, that would still take some time.
His throat needed time to adjust. Doing it improperly could injure his throat and vocal cords.

"Pain? All I wanted was to borrow his Rinnegan for a little research. Does he have to be so petty?"
Orochimaru sneered.
"Hey, you! You've got some nerve. Are the Rinnegan something the likes of you can covet?"
Lin Guang lowered his voice.
Beside him, Sasori and Deidara said nothing, simply assuming that Lin Guang did not want to speak to Orochimaru in his real voice.

"Disgusting!"
Deidara and Sasori both appreciated art, but they could not stomach Orochimaru's performance art.
"Don't mistake me for an idiot like Sasuke Uchiha!"
Lin Guang struck first, blanketing Orochimaru and Kabuto from every direction with the Uchiha Clan's secret kunai and shuriken throwing technique!
Uchiha Itachi knew
