Chapter 660: Lucky Orochimaru?
When Orochimaru noticed that Danzo had been slashed in half by Tobirama’s assault and had died as a result, he smirked and looked at the body with ravenous eyes.
He has only one thought racing through his head at the moment: ‘It is finally time…!’
As soon as Shodaime, Nidaime, and Homusubi were able to react, Orochimaru’s body transformed into a gigantic white snake that rushed towards the remains of Danzo’s body.

By benefits, he refers to either the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in the eye sockets of Danzo’s corpse or Danzo’s corpse itself, which is extremely valuable due to the fact that Danzo’s corpse has survived the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual.
Awakening the attention of Hashirama, Tobirama, and Homusubi was Orochimaru’s unexpected act…
Tobirama shook his head and whispered, “I knew it… from the very beginning…!” And prepared to employ Flying Raijin to halt Orochimaru from achieving his goals, however, it appeared to be too late.
Orochimaru did not forget to weave specific hand signs while rushing at Danzo’s corpse, and as he did so, he exclaimed mockingly, “Yes… but it’s too late!”.
Fortunately, Lady Luck was on Orochimaru’s side this time, and everything worked out wonderfully for him, and thus we find ourselves in this position.
In the face of these possibilities and expectations, Orochimaru grew increasingly eager for Danzo’s body, racing at him at top speed.
Even while their souls were outside of their Edo Tensei bodies, Shodaime and Nidaime’s expressions were filled with concern as they observed their plight… They were able to detect that something wasn’t quite right with Danzo’s corpse for some reason.
The two of them were somewhat familiar with these circumstances, but they were unable to pinpoint the specific problem they were experiencing.

A sigh could be heard from Tobirama as well, who agreed with his elder brother’s words.
As a result, the two former Hokage departed the stage…
It’s a shame that Orochimaru was so preoccupied with Danzo’s corpse that he failed to notice the expressions of concern on the faces of the two former Hokage as their souls left for the pure land.
On the other hand, if you think about it, even if Orochimaru had noticed it, it’s possible that he wouldn’t have cared much about it because their anxiety and the reasons for it didn’t matter to him all that much.
As a result, he couldn’t care less about what the other Hokages were attempting to say; the only thing on his mind at the moment is Danzo’s corpse, which he intends to take possession of as soon as possible.
The closer he got to the target, the more clearly Orochimaru was able to see a pair of scarlet-colored eyes, which made him even more ravenous, to the point where he couldn’t stop himself from shouting… “That pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan… it’s mine… that perfect body… it’s mine… they’re all mine!”
Orochimaru charged ahead and jumped towards Danzo’s body, which was just a few steps away, making a harsh air-cutting sound in the process…
