The strength of Kabuto Yakushi has always been a mystery. At this point in time, there is almost no information available about him fighting others head-on and using his full strength.

However, he used this skill of sneaking into Chencang and replacing one thing with another to perfection, worthy of being an elite multi-faceted spy.

Chakra flowed from the sword that passed through his body, and the power of the palm technique acted on the tip of the sword, crushing the internal organs of the Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen in the left chest.

The third generation looked at the sword that took his life in surprise, and a feeling of powerlessness began to spread throughout his body.

"With injuries of this magnitude, even the most powerful potion would be powerless to treat them."

After all, medicine is just something that stimulates the body's activity and cellular omnipotence. Its essence is not treatment, but to stimulate the vitality of cells? Therefore, direct attacks on vital points are beyond the scope of recovery. Without a special physique, there is really no hope.

Having survived such a desperate situation, Orochimaru couldn't help but feel ecstatic: "Damn you Sandaime, you should just die alone."

However, Danzo Shimura, who was not far away, was blocked by the thousands of snakes and could not get close.

"After going through so much trouble, are we going back to square one? And adding so many casualties and destruction in vain?"

The fake Jinchuriki looked up at the sky.

"Is there really such a thing as unpredictable fate in this world? Or is there something controlling everything?"

Looking at the mess on the ground, there weren't many dead, but there were wounded everywhere. The medical ninjas on the scene were too busy to handle it, and Mizuki would help out from time to time.

Such an ending, seemingly caused by several accidental turns, is actually mostly driven by human hearts. Not to mention the nonsense about the rolling wheel of history, heroes are always heroes wherever they go, geniuses are always geniuses, and most of those who cannot stand out are mediocre people. It has little to do with the environment and opportunities. There are only heroes who die halfway, and those who are talented but not appreciated are mostly wastes. This is the reality of the world.

"Then what am I?" Mizuki would ask himself sometimes. Is it really that easy for a mediocre person in the previous life to survive after traveling through time? With the example of the child of destiny, Uzumaki Naruto, it is not his turn to worry about the safety of this world for the time being. Moreover, the road to transforming knowledge, theory and intelligence into real power is so narrow that it sometimes makes him very tired.

"But it's not time to give up yet."

There are still three years left, so we can actually do a lot.

Just as Mizuki was daydreaming, the battle between the Third Hokage and Orochimaru had reached the most critical moment.

The Third Generation's physical strength was fading rapidly. Even with the constant repair of the potion, it was too late. The soul that had been captured was also shrinking back with the fading of its strength. Seeing this, Orochimaru couldn't help but show joy on his face, and his body gradually regained consciousness.

This was not a pleasant feeling for the Third Generation. Seeing that he could not kill Orochimaru, the Third Generation did not hesitate and controlled the sword of the incarnation of the god of death of the Shiki Fuujin to cut it down and seal it in one fell swoop.

"Although I cannot kill you, I will still seal back all the ninjutsu I taught you. You will wail in the pain of not being able to use ninjutsu." The Sandai's consciousness gradually blurred. "Goodbye, Orochimaru. Is this what death feels like?"

After saying this, his eyes gradually closed, his body fell backwards, and he never woke up again.

"Damn old man, give me my ninjutsu back now." Orochimaru cursed loudly. As the Shiki Fuujin took effect, Orochimaru's hands gradually lost the luster of the living and turned into a gray and decayed color.

The pain of his soul being torn apart made Orochimaru scream. Even Mizuki in the distance could hear his painful wail clearly.

"As expected, should we say that it was Kabuto Yakushi who seized the opportunity, or that the people of Konoha missed the chance?"

With the death of the Third Hokage, several clones also disappeared, and Konoha lost its most powerful force. As for Orochimaru, the sealing of the Impure World Forms of the First and Second Hokage also directly reduced Orochimaru's combat power. Moreover, Orochimaru was seriously injured and his strength was greatly reduced. It was uncertain whether the Ten Thousand Snakes would retaliate on the spot.

"Kabuto, how long are you going to delay?" Orochimaru, holding back the pain, ordered Kabuto Yakushi.

"Excuse me, Lord Orochimaru." As expected, the voice of Kabuto Yakushi came from under the mask of the Anbu. As he spoke, Kabuto Yakushi slowly drew out his long sword and withdrew from Orochimaru's body.

"Take off your disgusting mask and get ready. We're leaving."

Kabuto Yakushi took off the mask on his face and threw it aside, then used the blood on the sword and Orochimaru's arm to start using ninjutsu in coordination with Orochimaru.

Orochimaru also knew that the situation was critical and did not dare to neglect it any longer. "Ten Thousand Snakes Formation."

Countless giant snakes were summoned, and they rushed forward in an overwhelming manner, drowning all the enemies that came to pursue them.

Then he used necromancy to summon countless giant snakes, which began to attack all around frantically.

"Hurry up, Kabuto." Orochimaru ordered anxiously.

"Don't you care about the thousands of snakes?" asked Pharmacist Kabuto.

"Why bother with it? Do you think I can still control it now?" Orochimaru said impatiently.

Hearing Orochimaru's words, Kabuto Yakushi said nothing more, and took Orochimaru's arm and ran out. At the same time, several giant snakes cleared the way like guards. When they encountered a strong sniper, they were detonated without hesitation. The violent explosion also cleared the way ahead. The four Otonin also began to move closer, guarding Orochimaru while fighting and retreating.

Manda and Orochimaru used up almost all their chakra to summon a large number of giant snakes, turning the scene into a mess. Anyway, except for a few people, there were no one of their own. Affected by such chaos, it was more difficult for the organization to pursue Orochimaru. Orochimaru's desperate strength was difficult for anyone to resist.

However, this was also the time when Orochimaru was at his most vulnerable. He could hardly use ninjutsu, was seriously injured, and his chakra was almost exhausted. Perhaps this was the first time in his life that Orochimaru felt so weak.

Then, several powerful Root ninjas, at the suggestion of Danzo Shimura, began to chase.

"Take advantage of the moment when the Third Generation died and make a desperate attempt to break out? Is it that easy to retreat?"

The situation this time is much worse than in the original story. Konoha suffered more serious losses. And Orochimaru's side is not much better. The Sound Four have been using the curse seal for so long that they are exhausted. Orochimaru has also lost his fighting power like in the original story, or even worse. The only one who can keep his full fighting power is Kabuto Yakushi. It is not certain whether he can escape successfully.
