Chapter 146 Orochimaru’s plan

Fengying and his group had just retreated when they felt the cold murderous intent approaching from behind.

Orochimaru was unwilling to let them go easily and pursued them relentlessly. The Kazekage gnashed his teeth and cursed the venomous snake's stubbornness in his heart.

"Guards, prepare to fight!" Fengying shouted in a low voice with a firm look in his eyes.

His guards drew their weapons and looked around vigilantly.

After a while, Orochimaru and his men appeared in the field of vision again. Orochimaru sneered and crossed his arms, as if he was watching a good show.

"Lord Kazekage, do you think you can escape?" Orochimaru said grimly, "Now, let me see how much you are capable of."

The Kazekage took a deep breath, quickly gathered the chakra in his hands, formed seals with both hands, and attacked Orochimaru with a powerful wind-style ninjutsu.

Orochimaru dodged the attack with a light flash, and his ninjas quickly dispersed and surrounded the Kazekage and his group.

"Protect Lord Kazekage!" a guard shouted loudly, then rushed forward and engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand fight with Orochimaru's men.

The Kazekage held the Wind Release Technique in his hand and shuttled through the battlefield like a gust of wind.

Every attack he made was filled with murderous intent, but Orochimaru had too many men under his command, and the battle became increasingly intense.

Orochimaru stood in the center of the battlefield, watching coldly. Although his men had the advantage in numbers, the Kazekage and his guards were extremely powerful, and it was difficult for them to win for a while. Orochimaru sneered, and quickly formed seals with his hands. A huge snake shadow sprang out from the ground and headed straight for the Kazekage.

Fengying sensed the danger and quickly stepped back, avoiding the snake shadow's attack.

However, another guard was entangled by the snake shadow and was swallowed up in an instant. Fengying's heart sank, knowing that he had to leave the battlefield as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Everyone concentrate your firepower and attack together!" the Kazekage shouted loudly, and the wind chakra in his hand quickly gathered, preparing to launch a fatal blow.

The guards responded one after another, and attacked Orochimaru with their ninjutsu. Orochimaru sneered, and quickly formed seals with his hands. A huge snake shadow appeared again, blocking all attacks.

"You are too naive. Do you think you can defeat me like this?" Orochimaru said coldly, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.

Fengying frowned, knowing that if he continued like this, he would definitely lose. He gritted his teeth, formed seals with his hands, and prepared to launch the final attack.

However, at this moment, a lightning-like figure suddenly appeared in the darkness, and the kunai in his hand quickly attacked and dispersed Orochimaru's snake shadow.

The Kazekage and the guards were startled and looked up, only to see the black-clad ninja appear in front of them again.

The black-clad ninja gave Orochimaru a cold look, then turned to the Kazekage and said, "Lord Kazekage, let's retreat!"

The Kazekage was stunned, but then he understood the other party's intention. He nodded and quickly retreated with his guards. Seeing this, Orochimaru snorted coldly and prepared to chase, but the black-clad ninja blocked him, the kunai in his hand flashing cold light.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" Orochimaru shouted angrily, and quickly formed seals with his hands. A powerful snake shadow attacked the Kaze Shadow again.

The black-clad ninja sneered and swiftly swung the kunai in his hand, dispersing the snake shadow.

Fengying and his guards took the opportunity to quickly retreat and disappeared into the darkness.

Orochimaru looked at the direction they left with a cold gaze, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

He knew that the battle was not over yet and the real contest was still to come.

Fengying and his guards ran in the darkness, their hearts filled with tension and anxiety.

They know that this attack is just the beginning and the road ahead will be even more difficult and dangerous.

The Kazekage and his group ran desperately, but Orochimaru's shadow kept chasing them. No matter how hard they tried, they could not get rid of this venomous snake-like enemy.

"Quick, go that way!" The Kazekage commanded the guards to run towards a narrow valley, hoping to take advantage of the terrain to get rid of Orochimaru. However, Orochimaru had already anticipated their intentions.

At the narrow valley entrance, Orochimaru appeared with a sneer, and quickly formed seals with his hands. A huge snake shadow sprang out from the ground, blocking their retreat. The Kazekage and the guards were cornered, unable to move forward even half a step.

"Lord Kazekage, it looks like you have no way to escape." Orochimaru said grimly, with a playful gleam in his eyes.

The Kazekage clenched his teeth, and the wind chakra in his hand continued to gather.

He knew this was a life-and-death battle and there was no room for retreat. He shouted, "Everyone, get ready. This is the final battle!"

The guards drew their weapons, determined to fight Orochimaru to the end. However, Orochimaru's power was far beyond their expectations.

The huge snake shadow attacked quickly and knocked down the guards one by one. The Kazekage fought fiercely with Orochimaru with all his strength, but was eventually outnumbered and was knocked to the ground by Orochimaru with a heavy blow.

"You...this poisonous snake..." Fengying panted, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

Orochimaru sneered, walked slowly to the Kazekage, and whispered: "You are too naive to think you can escape my control."

The Kazekage gritted his teeth and tried to stand up again, but his body was no longer under his control. Orochimaru snorted coldly and ended his life with a wave of his hand.

Everything fell silent. The Kazekage and his men were completely wiped out, and Orochimaru smiled triumphantly. He leaned over and tore off a piece of cloth from the Kazekage's body, then used the Substitution Technique to transform himself into the Kazekage's appearance.

"Now, the plan to go to Konoha can continue." Orochimaru said to himself coldly, then turned and left, heading towards Konoha.

In the quiet and peaceful streets of Konoha Village, people were busy preparing to welcome the incoming Kazekage.

However, no one expected that the real Kazekage had already been ambushed by Orochimaru on the way, and the one coming now was a dangerous enemy in the skin of the Kazekage.

Orochimaru dressed up as the Kazekage and successfully passed Konoha's inspection.

In the village, he greeted the villagers with a smile, trying not to reveal any flaws. The villagers welcomed him warmly, completely unaware of the true identity of this "Wind Shadow".

Orochimaru was secretly pleased with himself, secretly planning his next move in his mind.

As he infiltrates, Konoha Village is gradually falling into his carefully laid conspiracy.
