"Bang!"
Amid the rumbling of the earth, a muffled thud sounded aboveground, and a giant snake suddenly appeared.
The giant snake opened its jaws, and Orochimaru leaped out of its mouth.
He looked completely unharmed, but his chakra had fallen to an extreme new low.
He panted hard a few times, then stood up, intending to leave quickly.
Although he had brought down the Underground Laboratory, he believed someone that powerful would never worry about a predicament like this.
Orochimaru's purpose was clear: to escape that laboratory surrounded by layers of seals.
Inside that laboratory, no matter how fiercely they fought, they probably could not attract Konoha's ninja.
Only by coming outside could he alert the sensory unit and the Anbu, allowing him to receive support!
Orochimaru was a rational man, at least for now. Knowing he was no match for his opponent, he would not insist on fighting alone.
He also had a deeper intention: by relying on Konoha's strength to capture this man, he could study more of the secrets within him.
"Boom!"
Yet before Orochimaru could run far, the earth suddenly shook violently, and a suffocating wave of chakra rushed straight toward him.
"Warning! Warning!"
In the sensory unit's room in the Hokage Building, a sensory ninja suddenly began shouting frantically.
"Nine-Tails chakra detected inside Konoha! I repeat, Nine-Tails chakra detected inside Konoha!"
It was not just him. Every ninja in the sensory unit detected that chakra.
They had felt this power not long ago, and the memory was still fresh!
They truly had not expected to feel such power again.
Feeling that suffocating chakra, they sprang into action, and soon one of them delivered the news to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"What? The Nine-Tails?"
Inside the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned by the sensory ninja's sudden report.
