"Lord Orochimaru, we've spotted the Third Kazekage, Rasa, up ahead!" The ninja on sentry duty ahead immediately came to Orochimaru to report.
"Understood. Everyone, stay alert! As a rule, keep one li away. The Third Kazekage Rasa's Magnet Release is much better at reconnaissance than the usual methods," Orochimaru said directly.
Ambushing the Third Kazekage Rasa outright was still a little difficult, but it was not much of a problem. His Magnet Release might be powerful, but could he withstand every ambush?
Besides, Orochimaru's target was not the Third Kazekage Rasa, but to keep these puppet troops here!
When that happened, the Third Kazekage Rasa, stripped of his puppet troops, would be like a tiger without fangs, posing no threat whatsoever to Orochimaru.
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!" everyone answered in unison before each began concealing themselves.
Clack, clack, clack.
A series of mechanical clicks rang out, and puppets began appearing before Orochimaru one after another.
It was indeed the Third Kazekage Rasa's puppet army!
"Wait. Don't attack until their operators appear!" A glint flashed through Orochimaru's eyes.
The puppet army before them was merely a front. What Orochimaru was waiting for was the people controlling it!
As Orochimaru waited, human figures finally appeared.
Watching the Third Kazekage Rasa surrounded in the middle, Orochimaru suddenly raised both hands, then thrust them down hard.
"Move!"
At Orochimaru's command, a mass of ninjutsu descended from the sky, engulfing the Third Kazekage Rasa and the puppet ninja!
Most importantly, those puppets were already up ahead. It could be said that even if they wanted to counterattack, they could not get back in time.
"Everyone, attack!" Orochimaru shouted, then took the lead himself, summoning Manda and riding him straight toward the people from Sunagakure.
"Orochimaru?!" The Third Kazekage Rasa looked toward Orochimaru, a strange smile appearing
