Time passed slowly, and the time agreed upon with Orochimaru drew ever closer.
Finally, Orochimaru appeared in front of Kabuto Yakushi's shadow clone.
Upon seeing this, Kabuto's shadow clone's expression darkened.
Just as Kabuto's shadow clone was about to say something, Orochimaru turned his gaze to his side and said, "Kabuto, you didn't tell me you brought other people with you."
Upon hearing this, Kabuto's shadow clone was taken aback, then, as if sensing something, it suddenly turned its gaze to its side.
Chen Anxia had appeared there at some point and was looking at Orochimaru with great interest.
More accurately, it's about observing Orochimaru's data stream through the Eye of Root.
After realizing what had happened, Kabuto's shadow clone secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to Chen Anxia, "I have done what I promised you. I hope you will not forget your promise."
As he spoke, Kabuto's shadow clone vanished in a puff of smoke.
Upon seeing this, Orochimaru couldn't help but laugh and say, "Interesting, truly interesting."
"Chen Anxia, may I know how you persuaded Dou to betray me?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia smiled slightly and replied, "I said, I can help him resurrect Yakushi Nonou using the Impure World Reincarnation technique."
Orochimaru was taken aback by these words, then narrowed his eyes like a snake and asked, "Then can I know why you want to see me?"
Chen Anxia didn't mince words and said directly, "Your base currently has twenty-three living experimental subjects with Hashirama Senju cells, and I need two of them."
Chen Anxia's words shocked Orochimaru, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
Even within their own base, information about experimental subjects is kept secret. So how could Chen Anxia know such an accurate number?
Then, for some unknown reason, Orochimaru revealed a snake-like expression and said, "Sure, but you'll need to come to my base to get it yourself."
Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia looked relaxed and replied with a smile, "Of course."

Chapter 618 Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!
On the way to Orochimaru's base.
Orochimaru, seeing Chen Anxia's consistently calm demeanor, couldn't help but ask curiously, "I'd like to ask, are you really that comfortable coming with me?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia couldn't help but look at Orochimaru and smiled, "If I told you that I know exactly what you're thinking right now, would you believe me?"
Orochimaru simply maintained a polite smile, clearly not believing it.
Chen Anxia didn't intend to waste time trying to convince Orochimaru.
Before Orochimaru could react, Chen Anxia placed his hand on Orochimaru's shoulder.
The next moment, Orochimaru found that the scene in front of him had changed, and an incredulous look appeared on his face. He said, "This is... Konoha Village?"
As he spoke, Orochimaru felt the scene before him flash by and then return to normal.
Orochimaru knew very well that he had not been under a genjutsu.
This also means that the scene change just now was Chen Anxia's instantaneous traversal of several miles, bringing him back to Konoha Village.
Seemingly having figured something out, Orochimaru couldn't help but say, "Flying Thunder God Technique."
As he spoke, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, a strange look flashing in his eyes as he looked at Chen Anxia. He continued, "No wonder you're so at ease. If it were the Flying Thunder God Technique, even if I wanted to keep you here, I wouldn't be able to."
Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia simply smiled.
Through the Eye of Root, Chen Anxia knew very well that Orochimaru was only saying that, but in reality he had already set his sights on his body.
Therefore, Orochimaru was brainstorming, trying to figure out a way to ambush him and prevent him from using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
In response, Chen Anxia said, "You're wrong. What I'm relying on is not the Flying Thunder God Technique."
"I rely on my own strength."
As he spoke, Chen Anxia, embodying the Sage Body of Hashirama Senju, unleashed a terrifying chakra comparable to that of a Tailed Beast, sweeping towards Orochimaru like a raging torrent.
Amidst Orochimaru's horrified expression, Chen Anxia seemed to have thought of something amusing and suddenly laughed, "Oh, right, let me show you something funny."
As he spoke, Chen Anxia began to slowly form hand seals.
Orochimaru knew from the sequence of Chen Anxia's hand seals that Chen Anxia intended to use a summoning jutsu.
But what does the fun thing Chen Anxia mentioned have to do with spirit communication? Is Chen Anxia's summoned beast really that fun?
Amidst Orochimaru's confusion, Chen Anxia performed a summoning jutsu.
The next moment, a giant snake, comparable in size to a tailed beast, appeared before Orochimaru, accompanied by the smoke of summoning.
Upon seeing this, Orochimaru murmured in shock and disbelief, "This is... Manda!?"
Orochimaru reacted this way because Manda is his strongest summoning beast.
However, according to Orochimaru, Manda should not have signed any summoning contracts with anyone other than himself, so how was Chen Anxia able to summon Manda?
Just as Orochimaru's thoughts were in turmoil, Manda's gloomy voice suddenly rang out, "Orochimaru, why did you suddenly summon me?"
Manda's words caused Orochimaru's pupils to shrink sharply, and the look of astonishment on his face deepened.
Orochimaru was very clever; he deduced a lot of information from Manda's words.
Before Orochimaru could think any further, he heard Chen Anxia's voice say, "The real fun is about to begin, Orochimaru, watch closely."
As he spoke, Chen Anxia roared, "Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!!"
Chen Anxia's loud shout caused Orochimaru's pupils to tremble violently, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
Orochimaru, who had carefully studied everything about Hashirama Senju, knew very well that Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands was the strongest Wood Release technique unique to Hashirama Senju.
Logically speaking, apart from Hashirama Senju, there should be no one else in the world who could perform this.
But the enormous Guanyin statue with countless giant arms that appeared before him was telling Orochimaru that Chen Anxia was indeed capable of using Wood Release.
Moreover, it can also unleash the strongest Wood Release technique unique to Hashirama Senju.
The next moment, the Guanyin statue, which was dozens of times larger than the Nine-Tailed Fox, suddenly unleashed thousands of enormous fists at the bewildered Mansakani.
In that instant, Manda sensed an intense crisis of death.
Faced with a Guanyin statue dozens of times larger than itself, and with the True Thousand Hands technique far surpassing its own power, Manda was utterly powerless to resist and was severely injured in an instant.
If Manda hadn't proactively canceled the summoning at the crucial moment, he probably would have died directly from the True Thousand Hands.
Before Manda returned to Ryuchi Cave, she left behind a curse directed at Orochimaru: "Orochimaru, *******!"
However, Orochimaru could no longer hear the curses coming from Manda.
Because Orochimaru had already run away.
Orochimaru now understands why Chen Anxia was so at ease, and he also senses the strength of Chen Anxia.
In Orochimaru's view, apart from the resurrected Hashirama Senju, even the tailed beasts probably couldn't do anything to Chen Anxia, let alone himself.
Therefore, Orochimaru decisively chose to flee, choosing to stay away from Chen Anxia, this terrifying man.
As for the idea of coveting Chen Anxia's physical body, it had long since vanished beyond the heavens.
Orochimaru knew very well that if he tried to covet Chen Anxia's body with his own strength, it would be like an egg hitting a rock, a suicidal act.
Of course, Orochimaru would never take Chen Anxia to his secret base.
After all, the secret base represents all of Orochimaru's hard work over the years. If Chen Anxia were to go there, who knows what might happen?
On this side, after releasing Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, Chen Anxia discovered that Orochimaru had disappeared.
Chen Anxia showed no surprise at this, clearly having anticipated it.
Then, Chen Anxia used the Flying Thunder God Technique and appeared next to the fleeing Orochimaru in an instant. He said to Orochimaru in a low voice, "Don't waste your energy. Just take me to your base."
The sudden sound of Chen Anxia's voice nearly scared Orochimaru to death, filling him with immense fear.
Orochimaru knew that his escape had failed.
Orochimaru also knew that the reason Chen Anxia had just led him to use the Flying Thunder God Technique was to leave the Flying Thunder God Technique seal on him.
This also means that Chen Anxia had anticipated his every move.
Orochimaru couldn't help but recall Chen Anxia's earlier words, gritting his teeth as he thought, 'Damn it, what kind of monster is this? Can he really know my thoughts?!'
......
Chapter 619 The Fear of the Eight-Tails, Black Zetsu's Plan!
Inside Orochimaru's secret base.
Orochimaru looked at Chen Anxia, who was selecting test subjects, with a nervous expression.
It wasn't that Orochimaru felt sorry for his experimental subjects, but rather that he worried Chen Anxia's desire for more than just experimental subjects.
Soon, Chen Anxia selected the experimental subject she wanted.
Without a doubt, the experimental subject chosen by Chen Anxia had the highest content and fusion rate of Hashirama Senju's cells among all the experimental subjects.
Orochimaru was naturally aware of this as well.
Orochimaru simply didn't know how Chen Anxia had managed to find these two test subjects using only his eyes.
Of course, there are many things Orochimaru doesn't know about Chen Anxia.
After selecting the test subjects, Chen Anxia took the sleeping test subjects and left Orochimaru's secret base directly using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, thinking that it was good that Chen Anxia kept his promise.
What Orochimaru didn't know was that Chen Anxia had already mastered all of his knowledge and abilities when they first met.
In other words, apart from the experimental subjects with Hashirama Senju's cells, Chen Anxia didn't care about anything else in the base.
After confirming that Chen Anxia had indeed left, Orochimaru did not hesitate and immediately began preparations for relocating the secret base.
Although relocating such a large base would be incredibly troublesome, Orochimaru would rather not see Chen Anxia come knocking on his door again than face the inconvenience.
For Orochimaru, the current secret base no longer provides him with a sense of security.
Orochimaru's desire to relocate this enormous base would inevitably cause unnecessary commotion, which led Tsunade, who was searching for Orochimaru, to find clues.
On the other side, Raihime Village.
