Start with the Mangekyō and leave Konoha with Madara.

Inside the fortress, outside the dark dungeon.

Two guards from the Sand Village were talking in low voices.

"I heard that the sealing ceremony was interrupted. Lord Kazekage and his men are fighting the enemy. I don't know what the situation is."

"Ah? Do we need to go out and help?"

"Just do your own thing. What's the point of us going there?"

"But……"

"But what buts! Lord Fengying is very powerful, and he still needs you. Besides, if you can't even deal with Lord Fengying, you will just be one more person to be defeated!"

At this time, a timid female voice came from the prison: "Um, please tell me when can you rescue my companions? They have lost too much blood and have fainted."

She was a girl with red hair. Her pretty face looked a little haggard, and her tone was full of pleading.

Beside her, lay two young men of the same age as her. They were dressed in rags, their bodies covered in blood, their eyes were closed, and pain was frozen between their brows.

She clenched her hands tightly together and glanced at her companions from time to time, her worry evident in her words.

Upon hearing this, a Sand Ninja guard frowned and turned back to scold, "Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't we promise you that as long as you help us complete the seal, we will heal your companion immediately? What, do you want to break the rules?"

"But..." Tears flashed in the girl's eyes. She suppressed her fear and pleaded cautiously, "They can't hold on any longer..."

"You're anxious, but we're more anxious than you. No one wants the sealing ceremony to be disrupted, right?" Another Sand Ninja said threateningly, "If you make us angry, humph, I don't suggest you kill one of them first to vent your anger!"

The girl was frightened when these words were spoken, and she dared not say a word. She could only hold her companions' hands tightly, praying in her heart that nothing would happen to them.

At this moment, there was a loud roar suddenly coming from overhead. The whole prison was shaking and everyone couldn't help but cover their ears.

"What's going on? Is someone attacking the fortress?"

"Based on my many years of experience following Master Kazekage, this must have been caused by his ninjutsu."

"So strong, so envious... Hey, why do you look so sad?"

"Idiot, to force Kazekage-sama to use such a high level of ninjutsu, the other party must be very difficult to deal with..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another loud bang!

The lights in the prison flickered, the thick rock walls began to shake, and cracks appeared from top to bottom. The two men looked at each other, their faces looking a little ugly.

At this moment, a Sand Ninja suddenly turned around, staring at a dark corner, and said in a grim tone:

"Who? Get out here!"

The other person also became alert instantly and cast a vigilant look in that direction, while drawing out his kunai and ready for battle.

There were light footsteps in the darkness, and a tall and thin figure walked out from the corner. The swaying light shone on his face, outlining his clear facial features in the shadows, making his figure vague.

He was a pale young man with long straight black hair that fell naturally, and two golden vertical pupils emitting a cold and dangerous light in the darkness.

Being stared at by him was like being locked by a poisonous snake, which made people shudder.

"Stop! Who are you? If you dare to come any closer, don't blame us for being rude!" a Sand Ninja shouted sternly.

The other person took a step forward, exuding a faint murderous aura, "You dare to invade the dungeon, you must be an intruder!"

Orochimaru really stopped, raised his hands, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Sorry, I'm lost, can you help me?"

"Lost? Do you think we are idiots?" The Sand Ninja snorted coldly, "This place is heavily guarded. If you are really lost, how can you find this place!"

"Ah, you mean those guards..." Orochimaru raised his head with a sinister look, "I killed them all."

"!!!"

A chill rose in the hearts of the two men, and just as they were about to take action, Orochimaru suddenly laughed out loud.

A Sand Ninja took out a scroll and threw it away with his hands. The word "Puppet" was clearly printed on it. He said angrily, "Damn it! You dare to show up in front of us after doing such a thing!"

"That's because..." Orochimaru tilted his head, "I'm trying to divert your attention, idiot."

Suddenly, they both felt a chill on their spines at the same time, and the skin on the back of their necks felt slightly cool, and a tingling chill rushed from their coccyx straight to the top of their heads!

They looked horrified and subconsciously reached for their backs, but it was too late. As a sharp pain came from their necks, they suddenly lost their strength and fell to the ground.

Two tiny white phosphorus vipers crawled over the two men's heads, quickly crawled back onto Orochimaru's body, and disappeared into his sleeves.

Orochimaru walked right past the two men, came to the cage, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Uzumaki Haruna, huh?"

"Ah." Haruna shrank her neck and did not dare to answer for a moment. The man in front of her did not look like a good person at all.

With the dim light, Orochimaru could see her red hair clearly and confirmed her identity directly without asking any more questions. He turned to look at the two dying Uzumaki members inside, frowning slightly.

"Those two...are they your companions?"

A trace of sadness flashed through Haruna's heart. She had heard before that someone was destroying the sealing ceremony, and it must be the person in front of her.

She is not a fool. The Uzumaki people disappeared frequently. To the outside world, they are simply a walking treasure trove. Now that the newcomer has found her, how could she not know the other party's intention?

Then, there are only two destinies before you:

Or you will be abducted by the other party and become the next prey of the powerful.

Either they will be wiped out on the spot and die young.

But no matter which choice he made, his two companions were doomed to die because the sealing ceremony was destroyed.

When I thought of this, I felt sad and tears flowed down my cheeks like pearls that had broken off the string, and then "tick-tick-tick" broke onto the ground.

"Give me a quick death. If I have to die, I want to die with my companions." She opened her tearful eyes, and her pretty and young face was full of determination.

"What are you talking about?" Orochimaru tilted his head in confusion, "I came here to save you?"

"Huh?" Haruna was slightly startled, wondering if she had heard it wrongly, "Save me?"

"Well, I was asked by the Uzumaki clan leader to rescue..." Orochimaru changed the wording slightly, "Save...you!"

"Aren't you here to kill us?" she asked stupidly.

Orochimaru gave her a strange look and said, "The benefits of killing you are far less than saving you. You are valuable only if you are alive."

As he spoke, he had already torn off the seal, his right hand was wrapped in a layer of blue light, and he broke the shackles with one palm.

"Let's go." He extended his hand towards Haruna.

At this moment, a look of fear suddenly flashed across the little girl's face, and she screamed, "Be careful!"
