Sasori is very likely coming here alone, but there might be other situations.
Orochimaru found Kakashi and his group moving nearby with his snakes. From that moment, Orochimaru realized that the person coming this time wasn't Sasori.
Sasori wouldn't leak information to Konoha for no reason.
So, the most likely scenario is that Sasori has been killed or captured by the people of Konoha.
Somehow, this information fell into the hands of Kakashi and his team, and now they're impersonating Sasori.
But Orochimaru isn't too worried. He might have needed to make some plans for Sasori.
But dealing with Kakashi and the three people he brought should be more than enough for him.
But no matter how much he planned, news of Sasori's contact wasn't just known by Konoha, but also by Akatsuki.
It should have only been known by one side, or Akatsuki would have been ambushing Konoha. The main reason is that Akatsuki's main goal is to collect the tailed beasts.
Not to deal with him, a runaway.
"Sasuke..."
Orochimaru's golden eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze fixed on the black-haired young man in front of him.
His eyes showed a strange kind of heat, as if he wanted to get this person right away.
Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi were his objects of obsession a couple of years ago, and he had never stopped chasing after Sasuke.
If Sasuke had been in Konoha or somewhere else instead of in the Akatsuki organization,
Orochimaru would definitely have been able to dig him out and bring him to his side.
There's probably no hope for Uchiha Itachi's body now, so the only hope is Sasuke.
He almost dreamed of Sasuke's body and that Sharingan.
He's almost at the point of changing bodies, the end of another three-year period.
He's always wanted to get his hands on Sasuke during this time, but unfortunately, there hasn't been a suitable opportunity.
Although he's done a lot behind the scenes, it's a pity that those actions didn't even touch Sasuke's hair.
On one hand, Uchiha Itachi was secretly interfering, and on the other hand, Akatsuki also had tasks that, while not very obvious, were clearly designed to protect Sasuke and keep him away from Orochimaru.
Everyone knows about Orochimaru's obsession with the Sharingan.
The Akatsuki organization has two Sharingan, and they'll naturally avoid this guy as much as possible before Sasuke's ability is sufficient.
How could the Akatsuki organization let Orochimaru grab one of their well-equipped pawns?
But the situation is different now. They feel that Sasuke has done enough regular tasks and has improved in his abilities.
Simply put, they feel like this kid can beat Orochimaru.
It's not good to have Orochimaru always eyeing Sasuke, so they'll have Sasuke assassinate him.
If he can win, that's great. If he can't, Sasuke probably won't lose too badly. Either way, it can make Orochimaru behave for a while.
Why not do it?
"I didn't expect that I've been looking for you for so long and haven't seen you."
"But now you're offering yourself up."
A sly smile appeared on Orochimaru's face, and his bright red tongue licked the corner of his mouth, as if he had seen prey.
Looking for me?
Sasuke pursed his lips strangely. He hadn't noticed any traces of Orochimaru tracking him.
If it weren't for Deidara, Sasori, and Hidan in the Akatsuki organization, those three guys would always be flapping their gums, talking all the time.
They'd say anything and everything, and would occasionally mutter about Akatsuki's history and Orochimaru's desertion.
Sasuke probably wouldn't even remember Orochimaru.
He vaguely understood why Uchiha Itachi told him not to let his guard down.
From Orochimaru's face, he could only see the two big words "obsessed pervert."
The heat almost overflowed from those golden eyes.
"I don't care what you think, my mission is to kill you."
The expression on Sasuke's face didn't change much, and he stared at Orochimaru quite coldly.
The black eyes were quickly swallowed and dyed red, and three black commas appeared together.
Sasuke was still thinking about how to find Orochimaru's hideout and destroy it completely, but it looked like he didn't have to bother looking for it.
Sasuke leaned forward slightly and drew the sword from his back.
Although he learned from Uchiha Itachi, his fighting style was a little different from his brother's.
"Chidori Blade."
Sasuke's cheeks were lit up by the sudden flash of blue light.
Bright blue Chakra was injected into the sword in his hand, and the entire blade faintly emitted a bright blue light.
A faint crackling sound rang out, and Sasuke directly thrust forward with the sword infused with Lightning Release Chakra.
A group of snakes suddenly emerged from Orochimaru's sleeves, hissing as they wrapped around Sasuke's blade.
However, the snakes were cut off the moment they touched Sasuke, and the sharp blade that faintly gave off light rushed towards Orochimaru's heart.
"I didn't expect you to have learned this much from Uchiha Itachi..."
Orochimaru suddenly took a step back, barely managing to block the nearly thrusting blade.
There was no emotion in the red Sharingan. Sasuke had no intention of being blocked, and still deeply stabbed into Orochimaru's arm.
With a muffled "嗤" sound, a wave of blood spread around them.
Fast enough speed, great enough impact, the unavoidable Chidori Blade.
The most important thing is that it can paralyze the enemy's movements.
If Orochimaru didn't block it, he would have been stabbed in the chest. If he blocked it, both of his hands would be paralyzed.
Although the paralysis wouldn't last long, it should still be possible to kill him.
Sasuke lowered his eyes slightly, suddenly pulled out the sword in his hand and threw it behind him, sticking it into the ground.
Then he leaned back slightly and, while the electricity from the blade hadn't disappeared, Sasuke made hand seals.
"Great Dragon Fire Technique."
A huge dragon-shaped flame instantly spewed out of Sasuke's mouth. The red fire instantly burned the surrounding forest and Orochimaru's expression became quite ugly.
The ground where Orochimaru was standing was instantly blasted into a huge pit by the Fire Release.
Although none of them are very powerful Ninjutsu, the skill, speed, and accuracy have all improved by more than one level.
Even though he knew that Sasuke had joined Akatsuki, he really didn't expect that this kid had already reached this point.
A white thing quickly brushed past Sasuke's face. Sasuke tilted his body slightly, frowned slightly, and turned to look behind him.
A loud "轟" sound rang out behind Sasuke, and the surrounding ground and trees shook uncontrollably.
Sasuke, who originally thought he wouldn't be able to escape, was genuinely silent for a moment when he saw this thing behind him.
What is this thing...?
