"Does he plan to keep tracking me to find my hideout?"
The thought flashed through Orochimaru's mind.
It seemed the only explanation for why his pursuer, despite having depleted most of the chakra carried by their spiritual form, continued to tail him.
A spiritual form required chakra to sustain itself. If the remaining chakra was exhausted, the spirit would collapse.
During the Shinobi World War, Kato Dan, using the 'Spiritualization Technique,' was limited by this, forced to return to his body to replenish chakra after each attack.
Yet, his pursuer was willing to risk this to track him, sending a chill through Orochimaru. "Looks like Akatsuki is getting serious this time!"
His mind raced through countermeasures and contingency plans!
He even resolved to abandon nearby secret bases.
Unbeknownst to him, this was merely Ido toying with him.
For Ido, the spatiotemporal dojutsu 'Koryu' in her Koryugan allowed her to draw chakra from Yakumo at any time, eliminating concerns about chakra depletion destabilizing her spiritual form.
