Chapter 358: The Akatsuki Leader Is Here

The current Orochimaru’s appearance had changed greatly.

He had a horn on his head and long white hair drifting behind him.

Orochimaru was no longer wearing the robe he liked in the past. Instead, he wore a white robe with a black magatama hanging from his neck. He looked a little languid.

This uniform that symbolized the Sage of the Six Paths appeared on Orochimaru’s body, meaning that this guy had already controlled the Juubi when he was inside the eggshell!

Now, the Juubi was close to complete form.

This time, the resurrected Juubi chakra contained all of Bijuu’s chakra. It was mainly Yin Kyuubi’s chakra, and the rest of Bijuu’s chakra was barely balanced in his body. Even if half of Kyuubi was missing, it was easy for the Juubi to balance it.

Moreover…

This guy Orochimaru could endure pain.

Orochimaru had long been accustomed to the soul tearing pain. He had long enjoyed the pain of his soul being tortured because of his Living Corpse Reincarnation Technique.

As long as he could endure the pain of the Juubi eroding his will, coupled with a little bit of his own will to replace his own path, he could control the Juubi in his body.

“Speaking of which, I have to thank you… Jiraiya.”

Orochimaru spread out his palm and said softly, “If not for you and Tsunade, it wouldn’t have been so easy for me to control the Juubi…”

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya and said, “I thought the will to survive would be to destroy Uehara. This idea was wrong. He is just an insignificant character. He will only take advantage of others…

In fact, what I really want to do in my heart is to prove to the world that everything I do is correct. What I grasp is the truth of the world, and my Ninja Way is the most correct one among us!

Only by living, everything we have is meaningful! “

Orochimaru’s expression suddenly became incomparably solemn. A lump of pitch-black liquid gradually appeared behind him, slowly transforming into nine black spheres.

It was precisely the Truth-Seeking Ball, which a Six Path Level Ninja could only use.

“Orochimaru…”

Jiraiya’s gaze changed slightly.

Even though Orochimaru’s appearance had changed a lot, in fact, Jiraiya recognized his old friend at a glance. He was also shocked by Orochimaru’s state!

The current Orochimaru gave him an extremely dangerous feeling!

This kind of feeling was not like the danger when he encountered a strong enemy in the past, but the danger between life and death and even the pressure that made people unable to resist

That feeling was as if the two of them had become different species.

Did Orochimaru really become the Sage of the Six Paths?

Apart from his powerful strength, Orochimaru’s feelings seemed to have changed a little. He was not as arrogant as before. Instead, he was calm with absolute confidence, as if everything was under his control.

Just like…

There was nothing in this world that he could not do.

Jiraiya’s gaze gradually turned serious as he stared fixedly at Orochimaru’s face. He said in a low voice, “I never thought that you would end up like this…”

“Is this not good?”

Orochimaru’s gaze slowly swept over the others present before finally stopping on Jiraiya, “Do I have to be like you? Jiraiya, the current me is the Sage of the Six Paths of this era, the ultimate end of this world!”

Orochimaru slowly raised his palm and looked at his somewhat grayish-white skin. He said in a low voice, “This body will never be destroyed and will never age. Its vitality is almost endless…”

Orochimaru raised his eyes slightly and looked at Jiraiya again. The corners of his mouth curved somewhat into a stiff smile, “Now I really want to see how strong this body has become…”

In the next moment, Orochimaru’s figure suddenly disappeared!

His speed was so fast that no one could see his movement trajectory!

Jiraiya hurriedly stretched out his arm to block in front of him and was kicked by Orochimaru. Jiraiya was sent flying with a kick.

He fell under a cliff wall!

“So fast…”

A hint of shock appeared on Jiraiya’s face. He didn’t even dare to imagine the speed that Orochimaru had displayed just now. This guy had really undergone a qualitative change!

Jiraiya stared at Orochimaru, who was floating over in the distance. After forming a series of hand seals, chakra gathered in his chest and released a flame toward Orochimaru!

“Katon, Karyū Endan(Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet)!”

The flames turned into a long line and shot towards Orochimaru. It suddenly stretched out in the air, covering the sky and covering the earth, wrapping around Orochimaru!

This Fire Dragon Flame Bullet directly hit Orochimaru!

Even a Kage Ninja could not withstand this fire-release ninjutsu!

In the next moment, the flames gradually faded, revealing the figure wrapped in flames. He saw a pitch-black liquid ball helping Orochimaru block the fire release ninjutsu that had just attacked him.

Orochimaru slowly stretched out his palm and saw that pitch-black ball condensed again like a liquid floating in his palm.

“That is…”

Jiraiya’s eyes tightened.

“Truth-Seeking Ball.”

Orochimaru did not hold back as he explained his own strength, “It contains the power of the five elements, Yin and Yang, completely surpassing any Bloodline Limit. In this world, no technique can break through Truth-Seeking Ball’s defense, and Truth-Seeking Ball will disintegrate any technique.”

After saying this, Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya and suddenly said with a smile, “I forgot to remind you, anyone, who has not obtained the Sage of the Six Paths’ power, as long as Truth-Seeking Ball touches them, will directly turn into nothingness… “

That Truth-Seeking Ball suddenly flew toward Jiraiya’s direction. This guy Orochimaru actually wanted to use his friend’s life to verify the Truth-Seeking Ball’s power!

A huge golden chakra hand suddenly stretched out, pulling Jiraiya’s body out. It was precisely Naruto who had urgently saved him!

“Seventh gate… Shock Gate – Open! Hirudora(Daytime Tiger)!”

A burst of blue chakra suddenly burst out from Lee’s body, and he raised his hand to punch in Orochimaru’s direction, and the air pressure took shape in his hand!

“Well done, Lee! Seventh gate, Gate of Shock, open! Hirudora(Daytime Tiger)!”

Guy also burst out a powerful chakra from his body and punched towards Orochimaru’s direction, and the air pressure also took shape in his hand!

Two white tigers fiercely bit Orochimaru!

The force brought by Hirudora(Daytime Tiger)’s two moves hit the ground, leaving a deep mark on the ground, and fiercely bit Orochimaru’s body!

However, Orochimaru’s body was wrapped up in a pitch-black like liquid. No matter how strong Hirudora(Daytime Tiger)’s attack was, it was still unable to break through Truth-Seeking Ball’s defense!

“It’s useless…”

Jiraiya’s expression gradually became somewhat ugly.

At this moment, he actually did not know how to fight!

Facing Orochimaru, whose strength had become so strong, it could be said that he had no weaknesses. Jiraiya did not even know how to stop him…

Jiraiya frowned and looked at Orochimaru, who was gathering Truth-Seeking Ball into a ball in the distance. His eyes twitched slightly.

“I can’t attack at close range, or I will be turned into nothingness by Orochimaru’s Truth-Seeking Ball… If I attack from a distance, any technique will be disintegrated by the Truth-Seeking Ball.”

Jiraiya watched all of this and murmured. He couldn’t help but sigh, “Is this power of the legendary Sage of the Six Paths?”

“Attack!”

Someone called out.

In the next moment, countless ninjas threw Shuriken and the Explosive Tags in Orochimaru’s direction, but Orochimaru did not even have the urge to raise his eyelids.

The Allied Shinobi Forces’ troops rushed to the scene and launched long-range attacks in Orochimaru’s direction regardless of the situation.

Their attacks, however, were useless in the end!

“There are many ants, and they are also very annoying.”

After frowning, Orochimaru looked at everyone present and slowly closed his palm, “But these people’s chakras don’t need to be wasted…”

Because Orochimaru could feel it!

The Juubi was very eager for the chakra in the bodies of these ninjas!

Once this chakra was added to his body, it would make him even more powerful, especially when Naruto had half of Kyuubi’s chakra!

“Humph, then sweep all their chakra over!”

Orochimaru closed his palm, and a vine suddenly sprang out from under his feet. He coldly shouted, “Mokuton Hijutsu, Jukai Kōtan(Wood Release Secret Technique: Nativity of a World of Trees)!”

In the next moment, countless vines emerged from under his feet!

Orochimaru simply didn’t need to release the Divine Tree. He only needed the Wood Release Ninjutsu because he understood the characteristics of Wood Release Ninjutsu very well!

With the support of Juubi’s chakra, Wood Release Ninjutsu was extremely powerful. One of the vines and roots was almost thicker than a towering tree trunk, directly extending towards everyone!

In just a few seconds, this land had completely turned into a sea of trees. One by one, the ninjas were tightly entangled by the vines and roots, and the chakra in their bodies was absorbed!

Only a few strong ninjas were barely able to run back and forth between these thick vines and roots, avoiding the fate of their chakra being absorbed!

They were very clear.

Once caught, it was absolutely impossible to escape!

At this time, Naruto played a great role. From his body came out a huge chakra hand making a Chōōdama Rasengan(Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan), destroying the incoming vines one by one and saving the ninjas who were almost caught by the vines!

As for the Akatsuki, they were fine.

Sasori and Deidara were both able to fly. A group of people stood on a gold mat and crazily released ninjutsu to attack the roots that were chasing them.

“Kimen no Bakuen (Strange Mask Exploding Flame)!”

A ball of flame and wind gushed out from Kakuzu’s Earth Grudge Fear. After slightly blocking the attack of the vines and roots, they slightly breathed out.

However, the vines did not stop and continued to rush towards them, as if they were endless!

In the next moment, the four Seven Ninja Swordsmen jumped down together, displaying all kinds of sword techniques in their hands. Waves of sword light flashed, directly cutting off the vines!

Everyone was an absolute expert in sword techniques!

After cutting off a few vines in a hurry, several people quickly jumped onto the sand gold mat, afraid of being thrown down by these bastard teammates!

After all, human strength could be exhausted…

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen was still somewhat useful compared to Hidan’s performance. That had already been saved several times…

“Hey, hey, hey, Hidan, you bastard are dragging us down!”

Deidara threw down a pair of clay birds with wings and blew away the roots one by one. Then, he loudly accused the useless Hidan!

After Deidara finished talking to Hidan, he turned to scold Kisame, “Hey, Kisame, is it because you have too much chakra in your body, so there are so many vines attacking us!”

“Ah…”

The corners of Kisame’s mouth curved into a smile, “Maybe! Anyway, you won’t abandon your companions, right? If the leader knows about this…”

“Humph!”

Deidara hugged his arm, raised his head, and pouted, “What kind of broken rule did Uehara set? You guys are not worth saving at all…”

“Alright, Deidara.”

Sasori controlled the Fourth Kazekage’s puppets to fly with them while controlling the Third Kazekage’s puppets to block the attacks from the rear.

After hearing Deidara’s complaints, Sasori couldn’t help but look at him, “If you have time to complain, why don’t you come and help me!”

“I know, I know…”

Deidara threw out a bunch of clay bombs and muttered, “Why hasn’t that guy, Uehara, come over yet…”

“Should be soon?”

Kisame touched his chin and grinned, “This traitor, Orochimaru, is so arrogant. The leader should not allow this to happen, right?”

“But what can he do…”

Deidara shook his head and sighed. He suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up, “Why don’t I try to get rid of Orochimaru! I have a lot of explosives, and I can definitely get rid of that bastard!”

“Stay here obediently!”

Sasori couldn’t help but frown. He turned to look at the others, “Hey, who of you is calling Uehara? Ask him clearly, are we going to fight Orochimaru or retreat first!”

Just as the Akatsuki group of people avoided the vines, Orochimaru obviously noticed this group of people who were jumping around, making him frown.

To be honest, Orochimaru hated Akatsuki.

Especially now that the leader of Akatsuki was Uehara and Sasori, who was the one who chased and killed him back then.

“Humph, a group of idiots!”

Orochimaru frowned. A Truth-Seeking Ball floated up from his hand and suddenly flew towards Akatsuki’s group!

This time, he did not show any mercy!

The Truth-Seeking Ball’s speed was many times faster than when he attacked Jiraiya. He did not even give Akatsuki’s group time to react!

If they want to stop the Truth-Seeking Ball, someone must withstand his attack and think of a way to bring the Truth-Seeking Ball away from this area…

It was just that the time when this Truth-Seeking Ball attacked was so short that they did not even have the time to discuss who would be sent to their deaths. After all, it was not an ordinary person who could bring the Truth-Seeking Ball to jump further away…

Perhaps this was Akatsuki’s specialty…

Facing this kind of attack, everyone subconsciously wanted to send someone to their death.

Just at this time…

Hidan suddenly stepped on the sand gold mat, leaped into the air, and rushed toward the Truth-Seeking Ball. He even turned his head and made a face at Akatsuki’s group!

“Anyway, if you have time to discuss, you bastards will push me to my death! I won’t suffer this grievance. I will go by myself!”

This guy, Hidan… was smart enough before he died!

Just as everyone in Akatsuki was surprised, a figure suddenly appeared beside Hidan. He picked up Hidan’s collar with one hand and threw him back to the sand gold mat.

It was Uehara!

“I’m still alive! What are you pretending for?”

After scolding Hidan, Uehara turned around and kicked the attacking Truth-Seeking Ball back!

After resolving the Akatsuki crisis of being destroyed, Uehara turned to look at the people behind him, “And you guys, why are you flying around here instead of running for your lives?”
