Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 293 Leave it to me

Over the years, Orochimaru had already developed a set of tactics for fighting Sasori.

The first priority is to ensure your own safety.

The Sand Iron Lightning Realm's attack speed was too fast and its range too long; Orochimaru had to hide his true form before entering Sasori's attack range.

Otherwise, you might accidentally die, which would be such a waste.

Then, the Wood Release clones are sent out to draw out the vitality, while the main body provides support from the shadows.

In short, even if you can't beat Scorpion head-on, you can still keep him occupied by dodging attacks.

"Did you sense it?"

At this moment, above the head of the Sand Iron Shukaku, Sasori asked his companion, who was a Sand Ninja skilled in chakra sensing, which could help him sense distant enemies.

"There are two people. One of them is Orochimaru, and the other has a very faint aura. He is a powerful chakra master who is skilled in chakra concealment. He should be Konoha's White Fang."

"I heard he used to be the head of Konoha's Anbu and is an expert in chakra concealment."

"That must be him." A cold glint flashed across the scorpion puppet's face.

Three kilometers.

Two kilometers.

One kilometer.

When the two sides were about a kilometer apart, the scorpion launched its attack.

"Wind Release - Great Breakthrough!"

The wind-style power released by the giant puppet heart was more terrifying than the wind-style power of an entire class. Everything within a kilometer radius in front of it was blown away by the tearing storm.

The big tree was uprooted, and the ground was blown up, revealing the hard red soil underneath.

The three Sand Ninja standing atop the Sand Iron Shukaku's head, even though it wasn't the first time they had witnessed Sasori's power, still felt a chill run down their spines as they experienced firsthand the terrifying destructive force of a mere Wind Release ninjutsu, which was like a natural disaster.

The three of them now understood why this battle no longer used large-scale group attacks, but instead involved dividing into small, dagger-like teams to divide and kill the enemy.

In the face of such a catastrophic ninjutsu, if too many people gather, it will give the enemy the opportunity to wipe them all out.

They have Lord Scorpion on their side.

There's also Orochimaru in Konoha.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Orochimaru, in his Wood Release clone form, unleashed a wide-range Fire Release ninjutsu with a power no less than Sasori's Wind Release Great Breakthrough.

In an instant, the two massive energies collided.

Fire overcomes wind, and the effect of attribute control is fully demonstrated at this moment.

Orochimaru's Fire Release, like an assimilation, absorbed Sasori's Wind Release, creating an even more powerful Fire Release that then lunged at Sasori.

"Water Release-Water Formation Wall!"

Scorpion used a large-scale water barrier to block the attack. The water and fire collided, extinguishing the flames and evaporating the water vapor.

In an instant, the entire area within a two-kilometer radius was shrouded in white mist, reducing visibility to a mere hand's breadth.

"Where?"

Taking advantage of the moment when his vision was blocked, Sasori asked his companion behind him, who was skilled in chakra sensing.

"Straight ahead."

"Hmm...you're not dodging?"

Sasori was somewhat surprised. It was impossible for Konoha's White Fang not to know about his abilities, yet he didn't dodge at this distance.

"Does he have some kind of trump card?"

A hint of doubt flashed through Sasori's mind, and then, with a thought, lightning crackled from the gaping maw of Shukaku.

Click click click...!

In an instant, it was like a bolt of lightning from the sky shooting out from the gaping mouth of Shukaku.

The dense lightning spread out in a fan shape, instantly covering an area of ​​600 meters in front, leaving no place to hide.

Orochimaru's Wood Release clone instantly disappeared into the ground.

Only the Lightning Release clone, White Fang, remained standing in place, watching the lightning flashing towards him, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The other party seemed to know he was coming.

The attacks were all directed at him.

Clang, clang... The lightning, like sharp blades, sliced ​​through the ground.

Amidst the dense lightning, the Lightning Release clone, White Fang, moved like a bolt of lightning, shifting left and right. He could sense the trajectory of attacks that would be difficult for ordinary people to dodge, thus easily avoiding them.

The key is that he moves fast enough.

"So fast!"

"Lord Scorpion, that person's speed and reaction time are incredibly fast! They managed to dodge all of your attacks!"

They dodged them all?

Upon hearing this, White Fang, the Lightning Release clone, frowned. He deliberately started with Wind Release to lure Orochimaru's Fire Release, and then used Water Release to create water vapor to obscure his vision, all in order to catch Konoha's White Fang off guard.

After all, Konoha's White Fang was unaware that he had already received news of his arrival.

Logically speaking, if he suddenly launched a full-scale attack on Konoha's White Fang, even if White Fang reacted quickly, it shouldn't have been so easy for him.

It was almost like seeing the attack trajectory of the Sand Iron Lightning Realm.

"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!"

Before Sasori could think any further, Orochimaru's attack arrived. Countless trees burst forth from the ground and entangled Shukaku.

Sasori decisively manipulated a portion of the Sand Iron Lightning Realm into sharp blades to cut down the entangling tree, while simultaneously controlling another portion of the Sand Iron to carry him and his three Sand Ninja companions into the sky.

Sasori also developed a safe fighting style when facing Orochimaru.

That means taking off, so Orochimaru, who can't fly, won't be able to do anything to him.

Being high in the air also makes it easier for him to launch various attacks with his Sand Iron Thunder Boundary.

"Konoha's White Fang!"

Scorpion stared at the hazy figure in the white steam below.

For the first time, I began to understand why my powerful parents had died at the hands of this person.

This guy's reaction speed is truly terrifying.

Even though Orochimaru only dared to hide his Sand Iron Lightning Boundary attack, this guy dodged it all while his vision was obscured by the white steam.

Its reaction speed is incredibly fast, and its perception is terrifying; otherwise, it wouldn't be able to dodge the Sand Iron Lightning Realm's super-fast attacks so easily.

"However... even if you're fast, you have your limits. If I just increase the density and range of my attacks, how can you dodge?"

Sasori chuckled coldly to himself. After flying to a high altitude where even Orochimaru's Tree World Descent couldn't stop him, he began to mobilize all the chakra within the giant puppet's heart.

Squeak!

Squeak!

Cracks appeared on the ground, from which clumps of black iron sand flew out and drifted into the sky.

"What happened?"

On the ground, Orochimaru's Wood Release clone emerged from the earth and said to his Lightning Release clone, White Fang, beside him, "It seems the other side already knows you exist."

Scorpion's attacks were mostly aimed at Zuo Yun-jun.

This reminds me of the incident during World War II when Sakumo killed Sasori's parents.

Orochimaru instantly realized that information about Sagumo-kun's arrival might have been leaked.

That's why Sasori came looking for him immediately and targeted Zuoyun-kun with all his attacks.

"Hmm." Lightning Release clone - White Fang nodded.

"Sigh!" Orochimaru shook his head, looked up and sighed, "There's nothing we can do about this brat now."

The sand and iron clouds in the sky are getting thicker and wider, and the intensity and power of the attack to come will be unprecedented.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's expression changed slightly, and he said to his Lightning Release clone, White Fang, "Sakumo-kun, you should leave here and go support the other bases. I'll handle things here."

In the ensuing battle, Orochimaru himself had to hide and fight, not daring to show himself.

Although Zuoyun-kun has just proven his strength and survived the attack of the Sand Iron Lightning Realm.

But the next attack was on a completely different level from the previous ones.

It would be better for Zuo Yun to leave this place.

Faced with Orochimaru's kindness, Lightning Release clone White Fang appreciated it, but he smiled and shook his head, saying, "The Third Hokage sent me here to deal with Sasori of the Red Sand. Orochimaru-kun, just protect yourself, and leave the rest to me."
