All Heavens: Transcending Dimensions Starting with the Uchiha

"I can only deal with him. Orochimaru is proficient in too many forbidden techniques. No one can say for sure what other trump cards he may have."

"In the ninja world, no one has the right to be careless or underestimate their opponent."

Even Kaguya Otsutsuki, the "progenitor of chakra," didn't have it!

Chapter 81, Hiruzen Sarutobi's "Godlike Move"

After taking the small letter tube from the bird-like ninja beast that was communicating, Shisui unfolded the contents of the letter tube and immediately frowned.

Jing Yue, who was standing nearby, quickly asked, "Did Danzo and the others catch up with Orochimaru?"

Shisui shook his head, handed the secret letter to Uchiha Sō who was observing the environment, and began to explain.

"Lord Danzo and the others were lured away by Orochimaru's shadow clones and were unable to catch up with Orochimaru."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sō's expression turned strange.

Is it really?

A whole host of Konoha's elite ninjas, including the Byakugan masters who excel at reconnaissance, and the leaders of the Ino-Shika-Cho clans, were so easily "tricked" away.

It feels like Danzo deliberately led Orochimaru astray so that he could "escape" more easily.

Uchiha Xiang took the secret letter, glanced at it, pursed his lips, and then chuckled.

"Hehe, then we'll be very busy!"

Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin who fought his way through the battlefield, is also a master of tracking and counter-tracking.

In Konoha Village, the Hyuga clan is the most skilled in tracking techniques.

The Uchiha clan, also renowned throughout the ninja world for their eye techniques and bloodline limits, naturally possessed equally impressive tracking skills.

The village has two other families skilled in tracking: Inuzuka and Aburame.

However, it's unclear whether it happened suddenly or was intentional.

For this pursuit, Danzo only summoned Hyuga Hizashi from the Hyuga clan.

This is why Orochimaru completely outmaneuvered Konoha's elite ninjas.

After all, the Inuzuka clan, who tracked scents, and the Aburame clan, who controlled parasitic insects to conduct large-scale searches, were gone.

It would be extremely difficult to find Orochimaru's whereabouts in the vast forest with just a pair of Byakugan eyes.

Seeing this, Jing Yue scratched his head and asked.

"We've lost track of Danzo and the others, Brother Elephant, where should we look for Orochimaru?"

Uchiha Sho didn't speak, but instead formed hand seals.

"Spirit Spell!"

bang...

As the white smoke dissipated, the greedy spirit snake Xuanqing appeared before the three of them.

"Xiang, a sincere offer of one thousand taels!"

"Understood, take us to Orochimaru!"

Uchiha Elephant rolled his eyes. Could it be that this guy's greed for money was an instinct awakened by evolution?

"Orochimaru? Xiang, you know he is the first contractor of Ryuchi Cave. The summoning scroll of Ryuchi Cave is still in his hands. According to the agreement, it is impossible for me to do anything to harm him."

Xuanqing shook his delicate snake head and quickly refused.

If he hadn't seen the complex relationship between Orochimaru, Sasuke, and Ryuchi Cave in the original timeline, he might have actually believed it.

Hmph! This greedy snake just wants to take this opportunity to raise the price.

"Really not going to work? That's a pity. I was going to give you 100,000 taels of silver if you helped me find Orochimaru this time."

Uchiha Sho feigned a sigh of regret.

"I told you I'd make a fortune, but it looks like you're not going to make that money. I'll have to find Orochimaru myself."

Upon hearing this, Xuanqing's two blue snake eyes widened, and his excited body trembled.

"Hiss, how much did you say? One hundred thousand... taels?"

"Hiss, it's alright. I'll find Orochimaru for you. As long as you have enough money, I'll even crush the White Snake Sage for you..."

Upon seeing the outfit, Uchiha Xiang immediately took out 50,000 taels of silver that he had prepared beforehand and handed it to it.

"This 50,000 is a deposit. We'll pay the other half once we find Orochimaru."

After accepting the deposit, Xuan Qing nodded, carefully sensed the air, and then spoke.

"Come with me!"

After saying that, Xuanqing led the way.

After a day of trekking, the three members of the Uchiha clan stopped.

The three of them sat together and began to study the map seriously.

"I drew a line on the map with my finger," said Uchiha Sō.

"Judging from Orochimaru's escape route, his target seems to be the Land of Rivers, the Land of Rain, and the Land of Grass."

Staring at the map, Uchiha Shisui and Igaku both fell silent.

This area was all too familiar to the two who had experienced the Third Shinobi World War.

Therefore, they are very clear about what this area means.

If Orochimaru were only hiding in the small countries of River Country and Grass Country, then everything would be fine.

But if Orochimaru were to defect to the Land of Rain, or to the Hidden Sand Village or the Hidden Stone Village, then things would be in big trouble.

Hanzo of the Salamander, from the Land of Rain, was a demigod who bestowed the titles of the Three Legendary Sannin upon the ninja world.

The other two major ninja villages need not be mentioned.

As one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, Orochimaru knew many secrets of Konoha Village. The mere leakage of the information he possessed was a huge problem for Konoha.

After a moment's thought, Shisui said, "We must intercept him within the territory of the Land of Fire."

Jing Yue nodded in agreement: "If we let him escape from the Land of Fire, it will be a huge problem."

Seeing this, Uchiha Ei spoke.

"I will immediately send a message to Jiraiya and Danzo, instructing Danzo to go to the Land of Rivers, Jiraiya to go to the Land of Grasses, and us to go to the Land of Rain. We will split into three groups and hopefully intercept Orochimaru."

Uchiha Sō, who had long seen through Orochimaru's objective, was also using the opportunity to distract Konoha's pursuers.

With Danzo, the head of Konoha's Root organization, and Uchiha Sho, the head of the Security Department, intervening, Orochimaru's defection was truly "absolutely safe."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, you have a really good eye for people!

Send two high-ranking officials from Konoha who were "closest" to Orochimaru to hunt him down.

That's simply divine!

Before dawn the next day, Uchiha Sho and his two companions set off again.

After tracking for most of the day, Uchiha Xiang frowned slightly.

"This is too abnormal."

Jing Yue spoke.

"Yes, it's been too quiet along the way."

Water-stopping opening.

"We can't worry about that. It's very likely that Orochimaru just passed by, which is why it's so quiet, just like a wild beast on patrol in nature."

Now is not the time to dwell on these issues. Anyway, once we catch up with Orochimaru, the truth will come out.

As evening approached and the sun began to set, a damp breeze swept through the forest.

At this moment, Xuanqing, the spirit snake that had been tracking him all day, suddenly spoke.

"Orochimaru's scent is getting stronger; he's not far ahead."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sho and the other two became more vigilant.

Although they were pleased to have intercepted Orochimaru at the border of the Land of Fire, the interception also meant that a major battle was inevitable.

Furthermore, considering the possibility of third-party intervention, none of the three members of the Uchiha clan showed any joy.

Suddenly, Uchiha Sho's expression changed, and he shouted.

"Beware of traps!"

Rumble...

Before Uchiha Sō could finish speaking, a series of explosions occurred around them!

He leaped onto the trunk of a towering tree, activated his Sharingan, and quickly scanned his surroundings.

The explosion was caused by detonating tags, which were clearly specially treated, and the chakra reaction was extremely slight.

Therefore, it wasn't until they got close that Uchiha Zang noticed them.

Wait, could Rope Tree have died from one of these explosive tags?

Orochimaru, what is he implying?

Chapter 82, Orochimaru: Come and fight, elephant!

"The other side knew I had the Sharingan; this was a targeted ambush."

In just a moment, Uchiha Sō made his judgment.

Orochimaru's use of these explosive tags meant that he had discovered the mastermind behind Nawaki's death?

So, is this a way of implying that you want to "talk" to me alone?

At this moment, the smoke from the explosion of the detonator had not yet dissipated.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Sō and his two companions had scattered in all directions to avoid the explosion of the explosive tags.
