Chapter 108 Orochimaru, who stakes the name of the Legendary Sannin
Orochimaru was originally a very cheerful person.
Although his smile was very sinister, he never looked like a good person at first glance.
But no matter what situation he encountered, he always seemed to be able to laugh it off.
Even when he was defeated by Itachi Uchiha in one move, had his arm severed and was driven to the brink of despair, he could still grin and laugh wildly.
But now, he found it unusual that he couldn't smile.
Orochimaru is someone who can face any predicament with a laugh and without fear, no matter how dire his situation may be.
But when his companions are in a deadly situation, he also feels powerless and finds it hard to smile.
The last time he felt so powerless was probably during the last war, when he watched helplessly as Rope Tree was blown up right before his eyes.
That time, he experienced the fragility of life.
And now, he seems to be experiencing the fragility of bonds again.
Teammates who have known each other for so many years have turned against each other so easily.
People often say that the end of reason is immorality, and Orochimaru had already walked down this path. His last bit of appreciation for his comrades was one of the few things that could still hold him back.
But now, it looks like another rope is about to break.
"Slug, you take Tsunade and leave first."
After losing his smile, Orochimaru's tone became even more sinister.
"Yes, then I wish you good luck in your battles, Lord Orochimaru."
The slug's reply was as polite as ever.
The giant slug, which was over ten meters tall, suddenly disintegrated, splitting into countless slug offspring of varying sizes, which scattered and fled.
Among them were many medium-sized slugs, five or six meters long, large enough to swallow an adult whole. They blended in so well that it was impossible to tell where Tsunade was hiding.
At the same time, Orochimaru leaped down and charged towards Shiba Kiyokawa and his group alone once again!
This was both to cover Tsunade's departure and to make a final attempt to save her old teammate Hiruko.
Regardless of how much Orochimaru harmed Konoha in the future according to the original story, at least at this moment, he is worthy of the title of Konoha's commander!
One of Kakuzu's masked monsters was the first to react.
"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"
A sharp spear of lightning shot out from the mouth of the lightning-masked monster, simultaneously firing at Orochimaru from both the left and right.
But the next moment, Orochimaru suddenly transformed into a snake and plunged into the water, immediately dodging the attack.
Previously, Shiba Kiyokawa had used "Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique" to create a watery terrain, but at this moment, Orochimaru took advantage of it first.
Orochimaru is truly going all out this time, risking the name of the Legendary Sannin!
"Ten Thousand Serpent Formation!"
Before Orochimaru, who had submerged himself in the water, could even reappear, the swarm of snakes had already sprung up and were wreaking havoc!
Apart from Konan, who had remained suspended in the air, Shiba Kiyokawa, Kakuzu, and Yokura all leaped up to dodge.
After Yecang jumped up, he manipulated the fireball behind him to smash the snake swarm, instantly drying the venomous snakes into black, curled spicy strips.
In a sense, Pakura's Scorch Release was quite effective against Orochimaru, since snakes are still carbon-based life forms.
Unless Orochimaru makes another technological breakthrough in the future and develops a completely new life form that is not afraid of dehydration.
However, at this moment, Orochimaru no longer cared about the loss of the snakes.
After using this trick to force everyone back, he quickly swam to Hiruko's side. Cautiously, he did not approach him directly, but instead used a snake to leap up and bite Hiruko's neck, thus breaking the illusion.
"Idiot, get out of here!"
Orochimaru spoke with a hint of anger.
Hiruko was still struggling with the question, "Where's Tsunade? Is she still observing from the sidelines?"
Orochimaru didn't speak, but instead emerged halfway out of the water and gave Hiruko a murderous glare.
That look clearly warned: My patience with idiots has its limits.
Hiruko was jolted awake by the murderous intent, and his mind became much clearer.
Orochimaru then summoned a long snake, which bit Hiruko's nape and flung him backward, throwing him dozens of meters away, effectively making the choice for Hiruko physically.
However, this delay led him to find himself surrounded.
Konan's paper spear descended from the sky, forcing Orochimaru to zigzag across the water.
Immediately afterwards, Kakuzu's Wind Release Masked Monster also completed a ninjutsu.
"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"
The high-pressure hurricane displaced the surrounding water, exposing Orochimaru completely in the eye of the storm.
Then a water jet shot out!
That was Shiba Kiyokawa's "Water Release: Water Instantaneous Body Technique"!
Just as the water arrow was about to be intercepted by the snake's mouth, it transformed back into its original form. The blade, carrying the remaining water, splashed out water droplets that refracted rainbow-colored ripples in the sunlight, like a katana trailing a rainbow-colored blade of light. With one slash, it cut through all the venomous snakes that were blocking its way and headed straight for Orochimaru's face!
In that life-or-death moment, Orochimaru opened his mouth, and the Kusanagi sword was spat out, forcefully deflecting Shiba Kiyokawa's katana.
The deflected katana still slashed diagonally down from Orochimaru's shoulder, tearing a long, bloody gash in Orochimaru's front!
After so much fighting, now in the second battle, Shiba Kiyokawa finally managed to injure Orochimaru's body for the first time with the help of his teammates!
Even so, the next moment, several venomous snakes suddenly sprang out from around Orochimaru without warning, forcing Shiba Kiyokawa to draw his sword to protect himself.
Immediately afterwards, Orochimaru once again used the advantage of his lower body transforming into a snake to swim backwards rapidly into the distance, spewing out large amounts of poisonous mist to prevent Yekura from approaching from another direction.
Having been transported to the ninja world for more than half a year, Orochimaru is definitely the most cunning opponent that Shiba Kiyokawa has ever encountered so far!
Even if you can gain the upper hand for a while, it will be extremely difficult to expand your advantage and kill him.
Not to mention that temporary death never meant the end for Orochimaru.
Fortunately, Shiba Kiyokawa's goal was not to kill his opponent.
When Orochimaru finally managed to use his serpentine movements to swim back to Hiruko's side, grabbed this useless teammate, and prepared to leave, suddenly, when his blood accidentally dripped onto Hiruko, an unexpected change occurred!
It was as if the blood had suddenly broken some kind of seal on Hiruko's body, and in an instant his body began to mutate on a large scale, with white spore tumors sprouting all over his shoulders, neck, chest and abdomen.
These spore tumors multiplied rapidly, almost completely engulfing Beiluhu's original form in the blink of an eye.
Orochimaru pierced a spore tumor, but to his surprise, what came out was neither pus nor blood.
Instead, it was a string of rampaging tree branches! They nearly pierced Orochimaru like sharp swords.
"Wood Release?!" Orochimaru quickly retreated, dodging the tree spear's thrust.
He then turned to look at Shiba Kiyokawa not far away and immediately understood the problem.
"What did you feed him?!"
Orochimaru's research skills are among the best in the entire ninja world. He never needs to ask "What is this?" like a fool. With just a little observation, he can see through Shiba Kiyokawa's methods.
The opponent must have used Hiruko's forbidden technique, Oni-Garara no Jutsu, to force Hiruko to devour something strange during the illusion hypnosis.
However, to Orochimaru's surprise, the next moment, Shiba Kiyokawa did not try to deceive or evade the matter, but simply threw the item over immediately.
"Are you interested in this substance taken from a creature called White Zetsu? I have many more here."
