The powerful Lightning Attribute Chakra invaded Guren's body, and blood spewed out directly from Guren's mouth!

  "Damn it. So this is the end!"

  Guren muttered. The feeling of numbness gradually made her feels a sense of confusion.

  Guren struggled to go out of the range of the Chidori Eisō, and under her feet was the end of the stone platform!

  Guren pulled her body away from the tip of the Chidori Eisō, and then fell down from the stone platform!

  'Orochimaru-sama, I am sorry, I have disappointed you!'

  This was Guren's last thought as her vision turned black, and then, she fainted.

  At this moment, a figure suddenly came from the entrance of the cave, reaching out to catch Guren who was about to land!

  The newcomer has white hair, wearing round black frame glasses, and there's always smile on the corner of his mouth!

  It is Yakushi Kabuto!

  "Sure enough, she is really a troublesome woman but I got no choice but to save her."

  Kabuto and Guren are not harmonious. For Kabuto to save her, there must be only one reason!

  "Is Orochimaru coming?"

  Kakashi murmured, and then he sensed the aura of a snake!

  The three Rage Ogres in front of him were still attacking ferociously, but Kakashi was no longer interested in them.

  As soon as Shunpo was used, the three Rage Ogres were instantly sent back to their world by Kakashi.

  "This…"

  Tayuya was still in shock seeing this when Kakashi has already appeared behind her and then, he said softly: "Sorry, but the time for playing around has ended."

  Tayuya didn't have any time to react. There was a gust of palm wind coming from behind her, and then she felt a pain in the back of her neck and fainted.

  "Haha, Kakashi, it's not a glorious thing to win against a youngster like that."

  The hoarse voice sounded in the cave.

  Kakashi knew that in the whole Shinobi World, there is only one person who has this kind of voice!

  Orochimaru!

  Kakashi looked at the entrance and saw a figure walking in.

  He's wearing yellow kimono, with purple eyeliner, and golden yellow snake eyes!

  The corner of his mouth still had that kind of playful smile, looking at the only person in that place who deserved his attention, Kakashi.

  Kakashi chuckled and said: "It may be dishonorable, but you should be thankful that I still spare her life."

  "Oh? If you like it, I won't mind even if you kill her." Orochimaru said with a smile.

  "I don't have such interest. I will just give her back to you!"

  Kakashi said as he tossed Tayuya to Orochimaru.

  Orochimaru stay calm as he reached out his hand to catch Tayuya.

  At this moment, Kabuto who is bringing Guren on his back arrive at Orochimaru's side and said: "Orochimaru-sama, Guren's condition is somewhat bad, so she need to be treated immediately."

  "Is that so?" Orochimaru said as he gave Tayuya to Kabuto. He then looked at Sasuke who was on the stone platform and said with a smile: "So it's really Sasuke. In just two years, he was able to grow to this level. Kakashi, I really regret making that deal with you."

  Kakashi smiled and said: "There's no use regretting. Sasuke won't follow you anymore."

  "That's true, but there will always be other ways. Isn't that right, Kakashi?" Orochimaru said with a smile.

  Kakashi couldn't help but frowned when he heard this. He also felt that Orochimaru actually gave him a dangerous feeling at this moment. 'What happened to him?'

  At this time, Sakura, Karin and Jūgo has already ran to Kakashi's side, and Sasuke also pulled out the Kusanagi Sword that was on the stone platform and jumped to Kakashi's side.

  "Kakashi-sensei." Sakura called out with some concern.

  Kakashi raised his hand slightly to signal Sakura to stay calm.

  When Sakura saw it, she didn't talk anymore.

  "Orochimaru, the purpose of your coming here is for this Kusanagi Sword right? Unfortunately, I will not give it to you," Kakashi said.

  Hearing this, Orochimaru's eyes fell on the Kusanagi Sword in Sasuke's hands.

  Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked back at Orochimaru.

  This man who once frightened him seems to have become even stronger than before!

  Even though he has become much stronger, he can still feel that there is still a gap between him and Orochimaru.

  "Haha, I did come for it before, but at this point, it seems that this trip was a bit wasted." Orochimaru said with a smile.

  "Oh? Why?" Kakashi wondered.

  "Haha, that Kusanagi Sword seems to be just a fake. Sure enough, there is only one real Kusanagi Sword, which is the one in my hand."

  Orochimaru said with a smile.

  Kakashi glanced at the Kusanagi Sword in Sasuke's hands and took a closer look.

  In terms of materials and workmanship, the quality of this Kusanagi Sword is definitely not bad, but compared with the Kusanagi Sword in Orochimaru's hand, it is indeed worse. But it is still a very good sword.

  "As that is the case, that Kusanagi Sword has no meaning to me. Sasuke, it seems that your sword is broken. Then, this sword will be a gift from me to you." Orochimaru said with a smile.

  "Hmph! You sure are generous." Sasuke said coldly.

  The sword was clearly in his hand at this moment, but Orochimaru said that it is a gift from him. It makes Sasuke feels a little angry.

  "Of course, after all, the intelligence and search work of this Kusanagi Sword was done by my subordinate. So naturally, that Kusanagi Sword is mine." Orochimaru said.

  When Kakashi heard Orochimaru's words, he felt that there was some truth in it.

  "Then, goodbye for now, Kakashi. I am looking forward to our next meeting."

  After Orochimaru finished speaking, he turned and left without any hesitation. Kabuto who was holding both Guren and Tayuya, followed behind Orochimaru and also left.

  "Kakashi-sensei, should we chase after them?" Sasuke asked.

  Kakashi shook his head and said: "No, Orochimaru's strength can't be underestimated, and Kabuto's strength is also not weak. If we attack them rashly, I am afraid there will be casualties. Our mission has been completed, so there is no need to clash with Orochimaru."

  After hearing Kakashi's words, everyone can only give up.

  They knew that if they are facing against Orochimaru, they are indeed in danger.

  If Kakashi is alone, he didn't mind having a fight with Orochimaru. After all, Orochimaru feels very strange to Kakashi at this time, and Kakashi wants to figure out what's that weird feeling too.

  But with Sasuke and others present, Kakashi couldn't do it. After all, Kakashi still can't use his full strength.

  After weighing the pros and cons, Kakashi chose to not act rashly.

  Kakashi suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed: "That's right! Shikaku-senpai!"

  'Since Orochimaru has come here, didn't that mean Orochimaru has also come to the Otogakure's camp? Doesn't that mean Shikaku-senpai is in danger?'

  Thinking of this, Kakashi couldn't help but feels anxious. He then left quickly with his group, heading towards Otogakure's camp!
