Seeing Shimura Danzo reveal his hidden Sharingan, Orochimaru said in surprise: "You're going all out so soon? Is this what you rely on?"

Danzo did not answer Orochimaru's question, and then unsealed his right hand, revealing a sickly and pale arm with several scarlet Sharingans embedded in it. The disgusting appearance made everyone who saw it shudder.

"Give up resistance, Orochimaru. You still have a chance to survive. Use your evil wisdom to devote the rest of your life to Konoha."

"Offering?" Orochimaru stared at Shimura Danzo who was ready for battle, and rejected the olive branch thrown by the other party without hesitation, "Say this to the dead old man, the Third Generation. As for the chance to survive, you can speak to me in a tone of charity?"

After saying that, chakra burst out violently, and the summoning technique took shape instantly. Ten thousand snakes with purple stripes and hideous faces appeared at Orochimaru's feet.

As soon as the bad-tempered Man Snake appeared, he quickly took stock of his situation, and then said to Orochimaru unhappily: "You didn't even gather all the sacrifices last time, why are you asking me to do this troublesome thing again? Orochimaru, the sacrifices have to be doubled this time."

"Sure, as long as you can kill them, you can do whatever you want with them."

Manshe looked carefully at Danzo and his subordinates below.

"They are all acquaintances. Is this sinister guy still alive?"

As he spoke, the impatient Manshe swung his huge tail, and several "Root" ninjas were directly hit. The rest also retreated, and the encirclement formation was destroyed in an instant.

Seeing Orochimaru resisting, Shimura Danzo said slowly: "Don't be lucky this time. I am not the weak Third Hokage and will never give you any chance. I didn't care about the Uchiha Sasuke who you coveted leaving the village, just to distract you, and it seems the result is not bad."

"Oh? Are you sure?" Orochimaru said, waving his hand with a weird smile. From the darkness of the surrounding deep forest, shurikens tied with explosive talismans shot out and poured down towards the heads of Shimura Danzo and his subordinates.

"A trap?" Danzo Shimura frowned, watching his men dodge one after another and then entangled with the enemies rushing out.

"The bait didn't work? It seems that your infiltration into the village is deeper than I thought..."

Standing on top of the Mangeki, Orochimaru watched with ease as the ninjas from the "Root" attacked the Mangeki with its thick scales and armor in vain, but they could not even break through its defenses, and were instead caught off guard by the Mangeki's swift and flexible attacks.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside Orochimaru.

"Lord Orochimaru, the situation is a bit bad. Should we retreat?"

Pharmacist Kabuto gave timely advice.

"The enemy is numerous and we are few, so it is better to make plans early and take a long-term view."

"Really?" Orochimaru responded casually, "Today's incident is rather strange. He is so eager to kill me... No, it's better to say that he is here to recruit me. What has happened that made him think this way?"

Many years ago, before he defected, Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo had cooperated a lot, and he knew his behavior very well. How could Danzo do such a thankless task? Would breaking the tacit understanding between the two of them be good for Danzo?

"Perhaps, something of great value was discovered on Lord Orochimaru, which attracted covetous hearts?"

"Value? Coveted?"

Orochimaru was looking at Danzo Shimura who was directing his subordinates to advance step by step towards this side. Regardless of his morality and character, he was indeed a capable leader, and his own strength was not weak. His skilled wind-style ninjutsu brought the power of the chakra attribute with obvious attack characteristics to the fullest. Combined with the powerful vitality brought by the cells transplanted from the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and the flexibly controllable Sharingan, plus his experience in hundreds of battles, his combat power would definitely not be much worse than that of Orochimaru now.

"Sharingan?" Thinking of this, Orochimaru's heart suddenly moved. He remembered the disastrous defeat against Uchiha Itachi and his greed for Uchiha Sasuke, as well as the unexpected confidence of Shimura Danzo on the opposite side in this action.

"Kabuto, the Uchiha clan was exterminated a few years ago. You have investigated it, right? Do you have any clues about Danzo's Sharingan?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Orochimaru, it's been several years since the incident, so it's a bit difficult to investigate. Lord Orochimaru already knows the existing information, but..." Yakushi Kabuto paused and continued, "The death of a key figure is very suspicious?"

"Key person?"

"Yes, that is Uchiha Shisui, whom Uchiha Itachi regarded as a brother. The circumstances of his death cannot be investigated, and even his body cannot be found. If it were not for his fame as 'Shisui the Instant Body' that was so well-known throughout the ninja world, outsiders would have almost doubted whether this person existed."

"Uchiha Shisui?" Orochimaru lowered his head and thought about the meaning of this person. "Kabuto, have you heard of the strongest illusion - Kotoamatsukami?"

"Another God?" The stunned Pharmacist Dou asked, "Could it be that..."

"No wonder he is so confident that I will surrender. This is an unsolvable illusion. If I'm not careful, this guy will really succeed."

"Then should we leave quickly?" Yakushi Kabuto felt more and more that it was not a good idea to dawdle here. The name of the strongest illusion was too scary. It was really hard to guard against the ability to silently change a person's will.

Orochimaru shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then I have to figure it out. Why didn't old Danzo stay in the village and continue to dream of becoming Hokage? He spent so much money to capture me. Could it be that I really have a treasure that has been overlooked?"

Each time you use Kotoamatsukami, it is an opportunity to change your destiny. Orochimaru doesn't think that the insidious Danzo Shimura will waste such an opportunity that can only be used once in many years.

"If that's the case, then leave the matter to me. It's too dangerous for you to stay here. There's no need to fight this unreasonable ultimate illusion head-on."

Hearing what Kabuto Yakushi said, Orochimaru looked at him with amusement and said, "I don't remember when you were so loyal that you dared to stand up to Kotoamatsukami?"

"Your Excellency has misunderstood me. I am loyal to you and will sacrifice my life for you." Kabuto Yakushi pushed his glasses on his nose with his fingers and continued, "Besides, I don't think someone like Danzo would be willing to use Kotoamatsukami on me..."
