The lush trees quickly flashed past him.
At this time, although Orochimaru got rid of his teacher, he had been through countless wars, and he had always felt a sense of crisis.
The source of this sense of crisis was none other than the 4th Hokage, Yuki Senju.
In fact, in the beginning, he did not think that he would betray Konoha so quickly. After all, his experiments had just begun.
In the beginning, he only caught ordinary people, not more conspicuous ninjas.
With his knowledge, Konoha's investigation efficiency would not be so fast, not to mention that Danzo's roots were hidden.
But who would have thought that the truth was so fast, as if a black hand was behind all of this waiting for the prey to appear?
There was no way, in this case, he would cooperate with the situation.
The former was naturally better for him, who had already been exposed.
For this reason, he was familiar with everything in Konoha and was also prepared, confident that he could escape smoothly.
The whole process was indeed the same.
The only unexpected thing was that the one who came to arrest him was not Yuki Senju but his teacher.
However, when he thought about it, he understood that this was just the result of a ridiculous political struggle.
"A boring fight! There are many smart people in the world, but they always waste their time on power and interests. However, they will never think that compared to eternal time, these are nothing."
Orochimaru smiled coldly and continued to move forward.
However, not long after, through the snakes he left along the way, he noticed that there were pursuers behind him. Among them was Yuki Senju he had been thinking about.
"I was wondering why he didn't show up before. So he was waiting for me here. He really has a big appetite. Isn't he afraid of bursting?"
Although he said that, Orochimaru did not stop but increased his speed.
Although he was unafraid of Yuki Senju, this place was too close to Konoha. If he wasted too much time, it would be easy for the pursuers to catch up.
He was never a reckless person.
One kilometer away, the following Tokuma Hyuga suddenly said anxiously, "Lord Hokage, Orochimaru suddenly accelerated!"
Yuki frowned.
He was fine, but Tokuma was already at his maximum speed. If he continued, he could only get further away.
Fortunately, the distance of one kilometer was not far.
So, he patted the shoulder of Tokuma and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me. You will be in charge of going back to receive reinforcements."
With that, Yuki suddenly raised his speed and chased after Orochimaru at almost double his previous speed.
"So fast! As expected of the Lord Hokage!" The paused Tokuma looked at the back of Yuki and was shocked.
Then, there was a trace of worry on his face.
After all, the enemy in front of him was one of the three most famous ninjas in the world of ninjas.
According to what Yuki had said, he did not dare to delay any longer and quickly returned to receive reinforcements.
...
Up ahead.
Orochimaru frowned slightly as he looked at the approaching figures behind him.
"In the end, it's still the Hokage. I've underestimated him a little."
He also had some understanding of the power of Yuki Senju in the previous three battles, but he did not expect that he would make a lot of progress after a while.
Just this alone was far from enough to stop him.
Orochimaru looked around, unable to get rid of it quickly.
Since that was the case, he would first stop and quickly solve the problem of Yuki.
If there were conditions, he wouldn't mind killing a Hokage and obtaining a Senju Clan human body.
It had to be known that the latter was already very rare in this era and could be said to be extremely precious.
In the rear, seeing Orochimaru gradually slow down, Yuki, who understood his thoughts, also made preparations.
On a land covered in greenery.
Still wearing his superior Ninja uniform, Orochimaru stood there and waited quietly.
Soon, a strong wind blew, and Yuki, wearing the Hokage God cloak, appeared before him.
"Yo ---Isn't this 4th Hokage leader that we love?" Orochimaru was the first to speak, using his unique hoarse voice to tease him.
Yuki smiled faintly: "We haven't seen each other for a while, but Orochimaru actually turned himself into a traitor for Konoha. Things are really changing in this world."
Orochimaru also smiled: "This is also thanks to the 4th Hokage!"
"If you are really innocent, how could you end up like this?" The smile on Yuki's face faded, and he coldly said, "I am not the third generation leader. I will let you, who is a great threat to Konoha, leave. Konoha will give birth to you and raise you. The knowledge, techniques, Ninjutsu, and even corpses you have are all the wealth of Konoha and can not be taken away."
"So, Orochimaru, do you choose to surrender or want me to do it myself? I don't mind bringing back a corpse."
At this moment, the atmosphere became extremely tense.
In the face of Yuki's ultimatum, Orochimaru was first stunned, and then he let out a low and cold laugh:
"The current younger generation doesn't respect seniors' humbleness. The 4th Hokage? What an incomparably honorable name. Most of the Ninjas would probably be unable to resist when facing him."
"But that's someone else, not me! Although I don't like the 3rd Ninja given by Hanzo, but honorable 4th Hokage leader, do you know who is standing before you?"
"The laughable politics gave you the name of the 3rd, but that does not mean the truth."
"Today, I don't mind killing a Shadow, becoming the most short-lived one in history."
At the end of his speech, Orochimaru's golden eyes were filled with cold, killing intent.
For him, who had participated in the second and third battles and experienced countless opponents, the new Hokage in front of him was still too immature.
Since the other party took the initiative to seek death, he was willing to fulfill it, just like the people who had collapsed under him in the past thirty years.
"Orochimaru."
In response, Yuki was very calm at the moment, but the will in his words was particularly firm.
"Next, I will let you re-understand the meaning of the word 'Hokage'."
"Soon."
