Ye Chen could not be bothered with the squabbling online.
After posting, he slipped away.
At the moment, he was more concerned about what gave Orochimaru the confidence to lead an assault on the Land of Grass.
He had only seven trusted followers with him.
And Orochimaru himself had lost both arms.

Ye Chen was a Kage Level expert, after all. He had already exchanged blows briefly with Orochimaru at the Land of Grass's border. Had the latter learned nothing?
Or had Orochimaru made other arrangements that allowed him to disregard Ye Chen's strength?

Unless Orochimaru personally
