Naruto: Reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha with Perfect Talents.

At the edge of a cliff not far from the Hidden Sound Village,

there lies another one of Orochimaru's bases.

This base isn't built on the edge of the cliff but rather inside the steep cliff itself.

For ordinary people, such a place would be nearly impossible to discover, but for ninjas, scaling walls and cliffs is a trivial ability.

Reaching such a location is far too easy.

Sasuke, riding a white eagle, descended straight from the sky.

He plunged directly into the entrance of the cave.

Then, he jumped off the eagle and landed on a platform inside the cave.

Behind him, Kimimaro followed closely and landed as well.

"Sasuke-sama!"

Kimimaro looked up at Sasuke. The moment he landed, he received a command from Orochimaru, instructing him to go elsewhere and let Sasuke meet Orochimaru alone.

Although Kimimaro didn't know what Orochimaru wanted to discuss with Sasuke, he chose to obey Orochimaru's orders.

Even though Sasuke had given him a second chance at life, without Orochimaru, he would never have met Sasuke in the first place.

Thus, Kimimaro still held great respect for Orochimaru.

"Go ahead!

You don't need to worry about me here!"

Now that they were at the Hidden Sound Village's base, there was no need to worry about Sasuke facing any danger.

So, Kimimaro felt relatively at ease leaving.

Sasuke walked forward. This wasn't his first time visiting this base.

He had been here many times before, and he still clearly remembered the layout of the base.

Orochimaru was waiting for him somewhere inside.

Sasuke passed through a long corridor, turned a few corners, and pushed open a rusted door.

He entered a vast, open plaza and saw Orochimaru standing in the center.

The space here was enormous, also excavated underground.

Its area was as large as two Bird's Nest Stadiums combined.

Meeting in such a vast place, Sasuke suddenly had a strange premonition. Could it be that Orochimaru wanted to...

"Sasuke-kun, you've arrived!"

Hearing Orochimaru's voice, Sasuke immediately sensed something was off.

Orochimaru's voice sounded much more lively than before.

The previous Orochimaru had seemed like a man on the verge of death, but now he appeared full of vitality.

"What's the matter? Why the urgent summons to bring me back?"

Hearing this, Orochimaru smiled and slowly turned around, raising his hands toward Sasuke.

"Thanks to the information you provided, Sasuke-kun, I finally found the Shinigami mask and successfully restored my arms."

The excited Orochimaru now seemed almost like a child.

It was as if he had just gotten a new toy and was showing it off to an adult.

Sasuke found it utterly ridiculous.

'Are you telling me... you called me all the way back here just for this?'

Hearing this, Orochimaru, still in high spirits, put away his smile and looked at Sasuke.

He gently shook his head. "Of course not!

I called you back to... tell you that I suddenly want to try something again!"

Try something?

Try what?

Just as Sasuke was pondering, he suddenly felt a gust of wind by his ear.

His body leaned slightly backward as a shuriken flew past his face.

Sasuke caught the shuriken in mid-air and turned to look in the direction it came from.

It was none other than the Sound Four. At this moment, they were quickly spreading out to the edges of the underground space.

Once they took their positions, they immediately began forming hand seals.

Seeing their hand seals, Sasuke frowned.

"Four Violet Flames Formation!"

In an instant, the four of them combined their efforts to unleash the Four Violet Flames Formation.

A barrier rose, trapping Sasuke inside.

Sasuke now turned to look at Orochimaru.

"So, you want to try and take over my body?"

Hearing this, Orochimaru, while brushing his hair, nodded.

"That's right, Sasuke-kun. You guessed correctly!

There's no helping it. Your body is just too tempting for me!

Before, when I didn't have my arms, I couldn't take your body, which was such a pity. But now it's different. Now that my arms are restored, I must try again!"

Is this the story of the farmer and the snake?

Sasuke couldn't help but laugh.

He had kindly told Orochimaru about the Shinigami mask, only to be repaid with betrayal.

However, even so, Sasuke wasn't too worried.

The current Sasuke was no longer the same as before. If Orochimaru still coveted his body, he was simply seeking death.

"Do you really think you have the strength to defeat me now?"

Sasuke asked.

Orochimaru fell silent for a few seconds, then shook his head with certainty.

"No! Sasuke-kun's strength is no longer comparable to what it was before.

In just a few short months, your power has undergone a earth-shaking transformation. Even I don't have absolute confidence in winning.

So..."

At this point, Orochimaru pointed to the side.

Sasuke heard footsteps, and from that direction, he saw a figure gradually approaching.

Clad in a black cloak, with orange hair and a burly build, this person was...

Jūgo!

"To deal with you, Sasuke-kun, I've made extensive preparations!"

From another direction, another person appeared.

Sasuke looked over and saw Guren.

Then, footsteps echoed from behind Orochimaru.

This time, two people appeared: Suigetsu Hōzuki and Karin Uzumaki.

Sasuke looked at these individuals and slightly frowned.

"So, this is what you call careful preparation?"

Hearing this, Orochimaru chuckled. "It seems Sasuke-kun doesn't take them seriously at all!"

Just then, Kimimaro hurriedly arrived at the entrance. Seeing the scene before him,

even without much explanation, he understood what was happening.

Orochimaru-sama was... planning to attack Sasuke-sama.

Kimimaro felt torn. On one side was Orochimaru-sama, and on the other was Sasuke-sama. He didn't know what to do!

Both Sasuke and Orochimaru glanced at Kimimaro at the same time.

In that moment, both of them smiled.

Kimimaro froze, unsure of what to do.

Yet, the smiles from Sasuke and Orochimaru suddenly made him feel calm.

The next second!

Sasuke removed his coat and casually tossed it aside.

With one hand on his hip and the other resting on the hilt of his Kusanagi Sword,

he said, "If you want to try, then let's try!"

Hearing this, Orochimaru smiled and gently waved his hand.

Jūgo and Guren both charged straight at Sasuke.
