Under the sky, on top of the pillars.

Nagato looked down at Orochimaru, who was approaching him quickly, with no expression on his face.

Being trapped on the wooden bed for a long time caused him to lose his basic expression ability, and his facial muscles had long been paralyzed.

But at this moment, a pair of samsara eyes were flashing with strange purple light, and their pupils were surging with power, ready to burst out.

He was now forced into a difficult situation and was about to deliver a fatal blow to his enemy. He was both angry and excited, and his pupils were as narrow as pinholes.

But what makes Nagato feel very irritated is that even now, Orochimaru's expression remains the same as before.

Is he still laughing?

"Earth Explosion Star!"

Nagato clasped his hands together and used the supreme sealing technique of the Rinnegan with all his strength, determined to seal Orochimaru into a stone ball to see if he could maintain this hateful attitude.

As the yin and yang chakras merged, a black singularity flew from Nagato's palm into the sky, instantly erupting with a strong suction force.

Orochimaru jumped towards Nagato's body, but was pulled over without any resistance.

The stone pillars reaching the sky instantly broke into huge boulders, which were mixed with the soil torn from the earth, burying Orochimaru's huge body bit by bit.

"This time, I won't give you a chance to do anything."

Nagato injected eye power into the black singularity, and stared at Orochimaru with his samsara eyes, always paying attention to his movements.

But Orochimaru seemed to be at his wits end, unable to struggle anymore, so he could only let the soil bury him.

Outside the cave, Obito looked up at this scene and felt very happy in his heart.

However, at this moment, Orochimaru was like a pottery figurine, the paint on his body kept fading away, and he turned into a clay statue in the blink of an eye.

"Earth clone?"

Nagato froze in place, his face twitching uncontrollably.

The Earth Explosion Star lost the control of the caster, and its expansion speed stagnated slightly, but its remaining power was not lost and it was still operating according to the established pattern.

However, whether it succeeds or not is meaningless, because what it seals is not Orochimaru's true body.

"Orochimaru..." Nagato repeated these three words, his high mood quickly cooled down, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

He is indeed the most capable ninja among the Konoha Sannin, and he is indeed not that easy to kill.

On the ground, Obito also noticed this change, his eyes narrowed slightly, his mind was racing, and he suddenly reacted.

In terms of combat power, without the support of the psychic beasts from Ryūchi Cave, Orochimaru was no match for Nagato. Moreover, he was in Taki Ninja Village. In an away battle, there would be no Konoha ninjas coming to support him.

The situation is like this, and the only choice available is to escape.

But there are opinions on how to have the best chance of escaping.

First, he found out where Nagato's true body was, and when his mind was broken, he sneaked into the depths of the ground, and then broke through numerous obstacles, approaching with an indomitable momentum.

Of course Nagato would be panicked, and even Obito himself had to admit that he was deeply wary of Orochimaru, so he would naturally be worried about what backup plan the other party might have to carry out the beheading operation.

I never expected that this series of actions were all disguise.

With the earth as a cover, there are so many small actions that can be performed.

At this moment, Obito suddenly thought of the Fourth Hokage. These ninjas of the previous generation who had experienced hundreds of battles, indeed none of them were easy to mess with.

While he was thinking about it, Nagato had slowly fallen from the sky. Looking at his face, he regained his composure.

"Are we still going to pursue Orochimaru? With Bai Zetsu's help, there may be a chance to find him."

Obito said this, but he didn't have any hope in his heart. Not to mention how much time it would take to bring back the White Zetsu who were distributed in the ninja world. It was not easy to find people dozens of meters underground within a radius of a hundred miles.

What's more, this guy is not stationary.

Nagato waved his hand, "No need, I don't have the ability to fight with him again now."

After a series of actions, he consumed a lot of energy, especially the last "Earth Explosion Star", which consumed nearly the total of the previous use of pupil power.

Under this situation, Nagato did not want to fight Orochimaru again. He now understood that he could not fight against the wind for the time being.

Obito didn't expect that Chang Mo would give up so decisively. He was slightly startled and said, "You don't have to be discouraged. After all, Orochimaru is one of the strongest men in the ninja world. It is natural that he can achieve this level..."

"Who says I'm discouraged?"

Nagato glanced at Obito and said slowly, "I know Orochimaru is difficult to deal with, but even so, this time he can only run away in front of me."

"Next time...I won't give Orochimaru another chance."

After developing the ability of the Rinnegan, the battles Nagato experienced could only be described as crushing. Even Hanzo, known as the 'Ninja Demigod', was nothing more than an enemy of one.

It's been a long time since he...grew up.

And Orochimaru is, without a doubt, a ninja who can be called his rival.

He is thick-skinned and a super-standard ninja. He cannot be easily defeated by just throwing a few ninjutsu.

Nagato has deeply realized this reality.

"...Then I congratulate you in advance on your next success."

Obito looked at Nagato's back flying towards the cave, his eyes flashing red.

Contrary to what he thought, this failure not only did not dampen Nagato's confidence, but actually made him grow.

Gee, it seems that Nagato has always been underestimated.

I thought he was just a child who got the reincarnation eye due to good luck. If he were allowed to experience a few more failures... it would be difficult to handle.

Obito's expression changed for a while, and he said, "Zet, mobilize White Zetsu and start searching for Orochimaru's whereabouts."

"Yes!" The two leaves of the pitcher plant closed together and sank into the ground. Through the remaining sacred tree network, it began to send messages in all directions.

Nagato's figure froze slightly and stopped in mid-air.

Obito looked at Nagato's back and said slowly, "You gave up, but I will give it a try. After such a long battle, Orochimaru's condition is definitely not good."

Whether it is to deal with Orochimaru, a powerful enemy, or to eliminate the catalyst that can stimulate Nagato's growth, the slight loss of time and energy is worth it.

"Hmph, he won't be eliminated by you." Nagato flew forward without looking back and said contemptuously, "What you do will only be in vain."

With that said, he disappeared into the cave.

"...Tsk, my arrogant temper has not changed." Obito retracted his gaze and turned to the earth in front of him.

"It's all in vain..."

Thousands of meters deep underground, Orochimaru did not rush to escape, but used the disguise above to sneak deeper.

Obito's guess was correct. He was in a very bad condition right now. His body, which was dozens of meters tall, was now an empty frame.

Although it swallowed a large amount of the remains of the holy tree and barely filled part of it, after this battle, seven or eighty-eight of it had been consumed.

He is extremely hungry now and is in urgent need of nutritional supplements.
