Zakon and Ukon, along with Jirobo, were carrying the armless Orochimaru, preparing to leave, and several Anbu ninjas immediately chased after them.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
But Kidomaru, who was covering their retreat, turned around and formed hand signs: "Ninja Art, Spider Web Binding Jutsu!"
A white spider web appeared in the air, instantly enveloping the three Anbu ninjas who were pursuing them.
One Anbu ninja wearing a monkey mask, who was at the forefront, tried to break free from the spider web but couldn't exert any strength: "Damn it, it's a sticky spider web filled with Chakra..."
Naturally, the few people in the arena also saw the fleeing figures. Genma Shiranui, whose body was a toothpick, looked at the figures jumping across the rooftops and couldn't help but ask, "What should we do? Should we pursue them?"
But Kakashi, who was beside him, didn't speak, and even the bushy-browed Might Guy's eyes became somewhat complex.
Yang Tao chuckled and said, "You don't need to; I'll just go and bring them back..."
At this moment, Jiraiya said, "I'll go with you."
"Then you'll have to be quick..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Tao's figure had already disappeared from the spot, leaving the three Jonin of Konoha, Sasuke, Naruto, and others staring at each other in bewilderment.
At this moment, Sasuke said, "No matter what happens in the end, let's deal with the Sand Ninja first."
Maki: "..."
Damn it, your Konoha civil war, and we, the Sand Ninja, are the ones who suffer heavy losses?
Kakashi and Might Guy exchanged a meaningful glance, then nodded.
"The Sand Ninja pose a great threat to the Konoha civilians; let's deal with them first."
On the other side.
Yang Tao, with the Yamato on his shoulder, blocked the path of the Four Sound Ninja and Orochimaru, saying in a light tone, "Since you've come, how can you leave so quickly?"
Yang Tao's sudden appearance made the Four Sound Ninja become cautious. Kidomaru, who had six arms, shouted, "I'll hold him off; you take Lord Orochimaru and leave first."
Then he formed hand signs, and a spider web spread out, enveloping Yang Tao.
He wanted to trap Yang Tao just as he had trapped those Anbu, as they were retreating, not engaging in combat.
However...
Before the spider web, which was transformed by Chakra, could even touch Yang Tao's body, Yang Tao disappeared from his original spot and reappeared behind Kidomaru, heavily striking his neck with the sheathed Yamato.
Kidomaru only felt a sharp pain in his neck, then his vision went black, and he fainted.
"Lucky, he didn't die!"
Carefully examining Kidomaru's six arms, he realized that all six arms were real, just like a spider's.
This was also why Yang Tao used the sheath instead of the Yamato to strike his neck.
However, for a ninja whose physical body was far beyond that of ordinary people, Yang Tao wasn't sure if he could knock him unconscious; this strike could only be left to fate.
Kidomaru was clearly lucky.
The other few who were just about to leave saw this scene and immediately sent two people to block Yang Tao's path. Black cursed marks appeared on their bodies and continuously spread across their entire forms.
A pleasant flute sound rang out.
Tayuya, the only girl among the Four Sound Ninja, had her curse mark completely spread throughout her body. Her originally healthy skin turned dark, and many wrinkles appeared on her once beautiful face. A pair of ox horns and a pair of sharp horns appeared on both sides of her head. At this moment, she was concentrating on playing a melody with a flute.
This was her ability.
She could activate genjutsu through the flute, especially after the curse mark entered State Two, she could even control more than ten types of genjutsu.
Yang Tao took a step forward, appearing in front of Tayuya, extended his hand, directly snatched the flute, then crushed it and said, "Next time you transform, it's best to become a bit cuter..."
"What?"
Tayuya had just shown a look of shock at Yang Tao's speed, and the next moment, she fell to the ground, losing her life. Yang Tao, holding the Yamato, looked at Zakon and Ukon, who were rushing towards him.
This guy's ability is very interesting.
One body containing two souls, and the other soul can freely control body cells, transforming into hands and feet to launch attacks, which can be said to be impossible to guard against.
However, facing Yang Tao, who was basically immune to physical attacks, Zakon and Ukon's ability was basically useless.
The Yamato easily sliced across Zakon and Ukon's waist, and their two halves of the body directly fell onto the rooftop.
Less than ten seconds were delayed, and the only remaining Jirobo had only run a few hundred meters.
Yang Tao came behind the two and swung the Yamato, slashing towards Orochimaru, but Orochimaru's reaction was also very fast; his head rotated 180 degrees, and he spewed out a massive amount of venomous snakes from his mouth.
The venomous snakes surged towards Yang Tao like a tide; if it were an ordinary person facing such an attack, they would either be bitten to death or disgusted to half-death.
But Yang Tao only swung the Yamato once, and the Dimensional Slash, composed of blade energy, erupted with a powerful suction force.
In an instant, those venomous snakes summoned by Orochimaru were like entering a meat grinder, constantly turning into white smoke and returning to the summoning world.
'Swift Draw'
Yang Tao's speed suddenly increased to an incredible degree, instantly surpassing Jirobo, who was sprinting madly.
Jirobo, whose health bar was cleared, didn't even have a chance to speak; his body went limp and he fell forward.
Orochimaru barely managed to steady his body and stood in the forest; the two had already left the center of Konoha, and not far away was Konoha's tall wooden wall.
A gentle breeze blew, and the leaves rustled. Orochimaru, who had just experienced a major battle, was now at his weakest.
Whether it was the over-consumed Chakra or the souls of his arms taken away by the Third Hokage, all made him extremely weak; now, even standing was very difficult.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to be carried away by the Four Sound Ninja.
Yang Tao walked towards Orochimaru, saying, "Shall we talk?"
Orochimaru's golden snake-like eyes stared at Yang Tao, and he said with a forced smile, "I wonder what Sir Yang wishes to discuss?"
Yang Tao was not surprised that Orochimaru could say his name; Konoha had long been riddled with holes, and some secrets that their own people didn't know, outsiders already knew perfectly well.
Especially a rogue ninja like Orochimaru, who had countless spies in Konoha.
"I need you to perform the Reaper Death Seal to release the souls of your arms..."
"???"
"And I have a way to let you escape the punishment of the Reaper Death Seal..."
At this moment, even Orochimaru felt his brain struggling to process: "Why?"
He didn't believe that Yang Tao had no ulterior motive in kindly releasing his arms.
However, Yang Tao didn't hide anything and directly said, "I need Minato, who was swallowed by the Reaper."
That's more like it.
Orochimaru then smiled again, nodded lightly, and said, "I need to go back first before I can perform the Reaper Death Seal..."
His current body was on the verge of collapse; if he didn't change it soon, he would die along with this body.
Yang Tao nodded lightly and said, "Alright, come find me in Konoha in a week. If you don't come, then I'll come find you..."
