For Orochi Maru, who doesn't even care much about Naruto's position, the reason why he joined the Akatsuki Organization is only because he covets the Rinnegan of the organization's leader, Pain.
However, the cruel reality made Orochimaru understand that with his current strength, he is not capable of seizing Pain's Rinnegan, which has the title of 'Immortal Eye'.
Therefore, he can only take a step back and focus on the Mangekyou Sharingan.
When he heard that there was a Uchiha Clan member who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan in Muye, Orochi Maru was ecstatic, he felt that the Mangekyou Sharingan was already in his bag.
But with the follow-up investigation, he was surprised to find that Uchiha Shinichi, who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, possessed extraordinary combat power, and almost with his own strength, he was able to turn the Muye Clan upside down!
Although this news made him more eager for the Mangekyou Sharingan, but at the same time, it also made him understand that it is not an easy task to seize the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Recently, Orochi Maru has been looking for an opportunity to make a move, but because the Akatsuki Organization members are usually in groups of two, and he and Uchiha Shinichi are not partners in the same group, so he has not found a good opportunity.
Therefore, the current opportunity really makes his heart itch!
Hyōjin doesn't need to turn his head to observe to guess how hesitant and restless Orochi Maru's heart is at this time, because no one knows better than him about Orochi Maru's desire for the Mangekyou Sharingan.
This is also the key to Hyōjin's escape.
As long as Orochi Maru takes action against Uchiha Shinichi, then the current five Akatsuki members will immediately fall into division and chaos, at that time, he can find a gap to escape.
Looking at Uchiha Shinichi who is a little eager to attack him, Hyōjin who is running away secretly thought, "Idiot, don't get your eyes dug out!"
With one fleeing and one chasing, Hyōjin and Orochi Maru quickly approached Uchiha Shinichi.
At this time, Hyōjin quickly printed the hand seals and shouted, "Water Release: Water Clone Technique!"
In the blink of an eye, Hyōjin, who had activated the Water Clone Technique, split into two, and suddenly changed his route, evading the direction of Uchiha Shinichi and fleeing in different directions.
"Huh?"
Shinichi Uchiha frowned slightly. With his eyesight, he couldn't distinguish which is the real body of Hyōjin and which is the Water Clone in an instant.
Bipa Juzo, Kakuzu, and Sasori, the other Akatsuki members, were also secretly surprised because they also couldn't distinguish which is the real body and which is the Water Clone.
Orochi Maru, who is chasing after Hyōjin, didn't react to this because his attention at this moment is all on Uchiha Shinichi.
At this time, he is only less than seven or eight meters away from Uchiha Shinichi, this distance is almost within reach for a ninja of his level.
Shinichi Uchiha, who has activated his Sharingan, also noticed that Orochi Maru didn't continue to chase Hyōjin, who has changed the direction of escape, but went straight to him, so he immediately asked, "What do you want to do …"
Without waiting for Uchiha Shinichi to finish his words, Orochi Maru stretched out his right hand, and his whole body flew out like a cannonball, going straight for Uchiha Shinichi's Sharingan.
Uchiha Shinichi did not panic as Orochi Maru expected, but completed the hand seals in an instant, and opened his mouth to spit a large flame at Orochi Maru!
Hua …
The powerful Fire Release ninjutsu turned the whole forest red!
"I'll take your eye!"
However, Orochi Maru didn't dodge, and used his body to resist Uchiha Shinichi's Fire Release ninjutsu. Even if his skin and flesh melted in the high temperature of the flame, he didn't care at all. He endured the flame and came in front of Uchiha Shinichi, and his right hand even touched Uchiha Shinichi's eyeball.
Bang …
Just at the moment when Orochi Maru was dazzling, Uchiha Shinichi's body turned into white smoke.
Orochi Maru was stunned, and said in surprise, "Shadow Clone!?"
From the beginning of the idea of dazzling the eye, Orochi Maru has been paying close attention to Uchiha Shinichi. He can be sure that Uchiha Shinichi did not have the time to release the Shadow Clone, so the only possibility is that the Uchiha Shinichi in front of him has always been a Shadow Clone!
The first to react was Uchiha Shinichi's partner, Pipa Juzo. He was the closest to Orochi Maru, and he waved his beheading sword at Orochi Maru and asked, "Orochi Maru, how dare you betray the organization!"
Kakuzu glanced at Orochi Maru and Pipa Juzo, and then looked at Hyōjin who had not escaped far, and said, "You guys solve your own problems, I'm going to chase after that guy!"
With that, Kakuzu and the four masked monsters randomly chose a Hyōjin and chased after him.
Sasori stared deeply at Orochi Maru, and without saying anything, he controlled the Ice Puppet and chased after the other Hyōjin.
Since they can't distinguish which is the real body and which is the Water Clone, Kakuzu and Sasori can only chase after them separately.
Hyōjin, who was breaking out of the encirclement, looked back, and immediately raised the corner of his mouth.
Uchiha Shinichi obviously did not forget his previous instructions, so he was wary of the members of the Akatsuki, so Orochi Maru's seemingly sudden attack was not unexpected at all.
And his plan to provoke the Akatsuki to fight among themselves was unexpectedly effective, the situation that was originally one against five has now become one against one.
Looking at Sasori who was chasing behind him, Hyōjin began to calculate the next countermeasures.
At the moment, the Chakra in his body is less than 10%, and a large amount of Nature's Chakra has accumulated in his body, so he can't continue to use the Ryuumyaku Chakra, otherwise, his body will have an irreversible petrification phenomenon, so it's really a bit difficult for him to fight with Sasori at this moment.
What's more, Sasori's strength is not below Kakuzu's, and with the Ice Puppet, it can even be said that he is the nemesis of Suijin, and before he comprehends Ice Release, he has no chance of winning against Sasori.
Sasori said with a playful look on his face, "You can't escape!"
Hyōjin ignored him and continued to run.
At this time, under the control of Sasori, the Ice Puppet suddenly displayed an Ice Release ninjutsu.
In an instant, a smooth and clear ice track appeared on the ground, and this ice track quickly extended towards Hyōjin, chasing after Hyōjin as if it has a mind of its own.
Sasori and the Ice Puppet glided quickly on the ice track, their speed was far faster than Hyōjin who was running on two legs. If the speed of both sides doesn't change, then it's only a matter of time before Sasori catches up with Hyōjin.
