After my triumphs and defeats, I created multiple aliases across countless worlds.

However, before Orochimaru defected, he also wanted to see if he could take out Byakuya's eyes.

A kaleidoscope...

That is the ultimate power of the Uchiha clan.

"Hehe, I just wanted to know just how amazing the kaleidoscope really is..."

"Besides, my technique is already complete, so why don't I inherit your Sharingan!"

A hint of covetousness flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.

He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

Byakuya left Amegakure alone with him.

Although I don't know if anyone is watching us.

But Orochimaru no longer cared.

He had made up his mind.

Once I make a move against Bai Ye and get the Kaleidoscope, I'll immediately retreat.

He didn't care at all that the Akatsuki were hunting him down.

Orochimaru was never afraid of this.

He was quite confident that if he wanted to hide, the Akatsuki would have no chance of catching him!

Chapter 119 - Mei Terumi's Letter, Marriage?

"You've prepared quite thoroughly."

Bai Ye was completely bound by the snake, and the snake's sharp teeth were right next to Bai Ye's cheek.

It's as if Bai Ye will immediately bite down if she makes any rash move.

Orochimaru had clearly made preparations before he arrived.

"There's no way around it. After all, it's the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan. I have to show it my respect no matter what."

A hint of madness flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.

After controlling Bai Ye with the snake, he felt a surge of excitement.

It felt like a kaleidoscope was beckoning to me.

Having researched the secrets he had been working on, coupled with the kaleidoscope's wondrous abilities, he was eager to obtain the kaleidoscope from Bai Ye.

"But when did you begin to have the illusion that you had control over me?"

The White Night, who was originally bound by the snake, instantly turned into a puddle of water. Orochimaru, who was originally walking towards the White Night to gouge out his eyes, was also trapped in place.

"Sorry, Orochimaru, your weakness is me..."

Orochimaru's soul ability is simply too weak.

Even in the later stages, he was someone that could be defeated by Erzhuzi.

Although it was because his arm was sealed at that time.

However, if it weren't for his poor resistance to genjutsu, Sasuke might not have been able to defeat Orochimaru.

Moreover, Sasuke's eyes are not good at genjutsu, and the genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan is far superior to that of the three-tomoe Sharingan.

"kaleidoscope..."

When Orochimaru first saw the kaleidoscope in Byakuya's eyes, his gaze was instantly drawn to it.

But the next second, he felt his left arm being severed, and a few drops of cold sweat slid down his cheeks. Orochimaru was also extremely shocked at this moment.

It was solved so easily?

"Then you, you stinking snake, can die!"

With that, Byakuya slashed at Orochimaru with his sword.

In an instant, Orochimaru was cut in half at the waist.

However, Orochimaru, who was cut in half at the waist, did not die. Instead, he spat out his body from the upper half, and before he could even emerge, he was immobilized in place by Byakuya's kunai.

"Tch, they got away."

The corpse instantly shrivelted, and then countless small snakes began to scatter and flee.

That's... a really bad habit.

Bai Ye had no intention of chasing after Orochimaru.

I reckon these little snakes are all Orochimaru's; if I don't kill them all, not a single one will die if they escape.

So Orochimaru is really amazing when it comes to saving his own life.

"Where's Orochimaru?"

The battle between Byakuya and Orochimaru had only just begun.

Payne and Konan have arrived here.

"Ran."

Bai Ye shrugged and said slowly, "I have to say that although I was prepared, I didn't expect Orochimaru to actually make a move."

Speaking of which, you were already so eager for the Sharingan back then?

Bai Ye stroked his chin, as if he had taken over Itachi's storyline.

Come to think of it, I don't seem to have a younger brother that the other party would covet.

"Heh, I told you long ago that Orochimaru is not to be trusted."

Just now, Zetsu had been secretly watching the battle between Byakuya and Orochimaru.

And while the two were fighting, he immediately used a clone to go find Pain.

I initially thought that Orochimaru, that traitor, would hold out for a while.

Unexpectedly, Byakuya subdued Orochimaru in an instant.

And Zetsu also saw Byakuya's Sharingan.

It's not a straight Sharingan, but it seems like its ability is a special one...

In fact, most of the abilities of the Sharingan can be guessed based on the shape of the eyes.

Black Zetsu has seen far too many kaleidoscopes.

It wasn't unheard of in ancient times either. Judging from this eye, Bai Ye's eyes definitely need to be investigated more thoroughly.

"So Orochimaru is gone, but what about the ring?"

The Akatsuki ring; Pain looked at the arm that had fallen to the ground.

The ring was right there on it.

Upon seeing the ring, Payne couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This is related to our future plans.

If it was just Orochimaru who defected.

Payne won't say much more, and will continue to arrange for the pursuit.

But it certainly won't be that violent. However, if Orochimaru takes the ring away, I must get it back.

With one less person, the time available for absorbing the tailed beast's chakra will be shorter.

"This time they actually cut off the wrong hand!"

Byakuya's gaze fell on Orochimaru's severed arm.

"Take the ring back. Oh, and let me introduce you to a new teammate."

Payne paused for a moment, then decided to make Kisame and Byakuya, who had just arrived, his teammates.

Since the ring is here, I can just find someone else to join the Akatsuki organization later.

"Where's Orochimaru?"

Konan turned to Payne and asked.

At this point, we should really think about how to deal with Orochimaru, right?

"Let them hunt him down. Have all the members of Akatsuki hunt him down."

As he spoke, Pain turned to look at Byakuya and asked, "Did you deal with Orochimaru so quickly?"

He was somewhat surprised that Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, was powerless to resist his Rinnegan.

Even Byakuya was able to defeat Orochimaru so easily.

This was completely beyond Nagato's imagination.

"It's good to keep him in check. I'll head back if there's nothing else."

Bai Ye glanced at Payne, but didn't have time to pay attention to him.
