A group of figures quickly shuttled through the night, reflecting ghostly shadows in the cold moonlight.

Swish swish.
Accompanied by the roar of the breaking wind, this group of figures landed on a messy battlefield.

"this!?"

"What happened? Were you caught in a trap?"

"Everyone, spread out and check to see if anyone is alive!"

Undoubtedly, this team was the first reinforcement to pursue Orochimaru, including Asuma, and the leader of the team was none other than Kakashi, who had quelled the riot in the prison and hurriedly led the team.

The Konoha ninjas lying on the ground were scattered all over the ground, making this team of Konoha ninjas who had just arrived with reinforcements unable to hide the shock on their faces!

Obviously.

A battle had just broken out here, but the ground was full of Konoha's corpses and wounded, and there was no enemy figure anywhere in sight.

The traces of the surrounding battle were also very limited, as if the battle did not last long.

Just as everyone dispersed to inspect the battlefield, Kakashi directly found Asuma, who was leaning against a big tree and was seriously injured but still barely conscious, and asked eagerly: "Asma, what's going on? What happened? Were you ambushed?"

Asuma swallowed a mouthful of blood and said weakly: "It's Kabuto Yakushi. Our information was wrong. That guy is very powerful!"

Kakashi was stunned for a moment: "There is only Kabuto Yakushi?"

Asuma nodded, and then unable to hold on any longer, he leaned against the big tree and slowly slid down from the trunk, fell to the ground, and passed out.

"Medical class!"

Kakashi shouted immediately.

In fact, there was no need for Kakashi to shout. The accompanying medical ninjas had already begun to treat their colleagues who had fallen all over the floor.

After confirming that Asuma's life was not in danger, Kakashi checked Kurenai who was lying in a pool of blood not far away and was also seriously injured, and his expression gradually became serious.

The injuries on both of them were almost all caused by sharp weapons such as shurikens and kunai, and there were no traces of ninjutsu on their bodies.

Looking at the other people on the ground, it was almost the same. Almost all had sharp injuries caused by ninja tools.

Asuma himself was the most powerful jounin in the village, and with the help of Kurenai, a jounin, and as many as a dozen chuunin, and genin, he was defeated by a Yakushi Kabuto. It was so miserable that it was really hard for him to understand.

And considering that after he dealt with the riot in the prison, reinforcements came immediately without any pause in the middle, so the battle here probably didn't last long. Counting the time, it might not even have been ten minutes.

"The intelligence is wrong." Thinking about Asuma's words before he fell unconscious, Kakashi frowned deeply: "How could Kabuto Yakushi defeat so many of us in ten minutes? What went wrong with the intelligence?"

He instantly thought of Shinji, because the latest information about Yakushi Kabuto was basically obtained through Shinji's 'Takamagahara'.

But he quickly eliminated any suspicion of Shinji.

Because before Shinji used 'Takamagahara' to simulate the false Yakushi Kabuto, the village had less information about Yakushi Kabuto and had even less awareness of the dangers of Yakushi Kabuto.

It was precisely because of 'Takamagahara' that the village learned that Kabuto Yakushi actually had the strength of a Jonin, and began to pay attention to this Orochimaru spy.

"The injuries on Asuma and the others were all caused by ninja tools. Could it be that Kabuto Yakushi defeated them with only taijutsu?" Kakashi frowned, remembering Shinji's introduction to Takamagahara's abilities, and thought: "Did Kabuto Yakushi's strength suddenly improve tremendously during the period after he last met Shinji?"

After having this thought, Kakashi shook his head again. According to Shinji, the last time Kabuto Yakushi saw Shinji was about two days before Shinji was reported by Kabuto Yakushi and violently attacked Danzo, which was only a few weeks ago.

In such a short period of time, it is unlikely that Kabuto Yakushi, who has already reached the jounin level, will have such a huge improvement.

At this moment, a fellow Anbu came to Kakashi: "According to the news from the Konoha Police Force, Uchiha Sasuke also participated in the pursuit, but we did not find Uchiha Sasuke here!"

"What!?"

Kakashi's expression changed drastically.

He only knew that Asuma and Kurenai were chasing Orochimaru ahead of him. He didn't know that Sasuke was also in the first chasing team. Now that Sasuke was missing, he suddenly became nervous, worried that Sasuke was in danger. Captured by Orochimaru.

After all, it's no secret that Orochimaru covets Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan.

After calming down, Kakashi ordered in a clear manner: "Send someone back to inform the Hokage that Yakushi Kabuto's information is wrong, and ask the village to arrange follow-up reinforcements as soon as possible. The medical ninja stays to treat the injured, and the others come with me. Keep chasing!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Looking back at Sasuke behind him, his expression gradually changed from surprise and confusion at first to seriousness.

Needless to say, the person who appeared behind him at this time was a person who should not have appeared at all in his cognition, Yakushi Kabuto!
"How can it be!?"

For a moment, various speculations flooded Sasuke's mind.

Yakushi Kabuto, who was surrounded by Asuma, Kurenai, and a dozen Konoha ninjas, could not catch up so quickly, because even if Yakushi Kabuto could defeat the Konoha ninjas led by Asuma, the battle between the two sides would still be It's impossible to see the outcome so soon!
Yakushi Kabuto smiled and said, "Sasuke-kun, your opponent is me!"

Sasuke frowned slightly. As Kabuto Yakushi got closer and closer, he noticed the changes in Kabuto Yakushi's appearance, especially the horns growing on his head, which made him feel faintly uneasy.

"It seems we can only deal with him first!"

Having made up his mind, Sasuke stopped and turned around suddenly. Without saying a word, he completed the seal in an instant and launched the Chidori to pounce on Kimimaro.

"Ah"

Seeing Sasuke shift his target to himself, Kimimaro smiled slightly.

The front.

Orochimaru also stopped, looking at Sasuke and Yakushi Kabuto in the distance behind him, and finally his eyes fell on Yakushi Kabuto.

When Kabuto Yakushi sneaked into the secret prison to rescue him, he had already noticed something strange about Kabuto Yakushi, but the situation was urgent and he had no time to ask more questions.

Now that he saw Kabuto Yakushi's appearance and had dealt with Ryūchi Cave, he immediately understood that Kabuto Yakushi's current state was probably what the White Snake Immortal of Ryūchi Cave called the "Sage Mode".

"Kabuto actually mastered senjutsu."

A flash of jealousy flashed in Orochimaru's eyes, but he quickly put it away, and his face turned to a passion for exploration.

For him, if there is someone around him who can master the 'immortal art', then the probability of him mastering the 'immortal art' will be greatly increased by studying that person.
