Orochimaru, Speak of the Devil!
Why haven't you sent a single message back to the village all these years?
Shinki asked.
Sasuke lowered his head and remained silent, his eyes dark and unfathomable.
After a long silence, his eyes hardened, just as they had been three years ago when he made the decision to leave.
"Because I want to completely sever my ties with Konoha and with you all!"
"Shinki."
"I've said it before, I'm an Avenger, and I'm not one of you."
Shinki looked at Sasuke as if he were looking at a mischievous child.
That's so childish, isn't it?
He completely disregarded Sasuke's words, jokingly saying, "I usually use the Flying Thunder God for travel, so I can go wherever I want."
Sasuke said seriously, "You wouldn't understand."
"Shinki, don't force me."
Sasuke spoke, his right hand slowly reached for the Short Sword at his waist.
"I'll do anything to become stronger, to get revenge."
"If killing you and Naruto is the only way to solidify my resolve for revenge, then I will do it."
As Sasuke spoke, his voice became cold and hoarse.
It looked as if it had been rubbed by ice shards.
Shinki raised his hand!
"Smack!"
(￣ε(#￣)☆╰╮o(￣俣///)
A solid slap landed on Sasuke's face!
Shinki didn't hold back at all when he struck, so Sasuke's body was sent flying backward instantly!
In the instant his body was airborne, Sasuke drew the Short Sword from his waist and stabbed at the Shinki!
The angle is sharp and incisive, hitting the nail on the head!
Shinki lifts its foot!
"Multi-Size Technique!"
"Bang!!"
Shinki's left calf swelled and grew larger, and he kicked out instantly, Sasuke firmly against the wall!
Sasuke:ㅍ_ㅍ
G!
Shinki is still as strong as ever!
"What did you just say? Say it again?"
Shinki asked.
Sasuke had a red handprint on his face, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, and a stubborn look on his face.
He can die, but he will never back down!
"I... I said, if killing you and Naruto is the only way to solidify my resolve for revenge, then I will do it!!"
Shinki: "Since you want to kill me, then I have no choice but to strike first. ┐(´-`)┌"
After saying that, Shinki suddenly exerted force with his left leg and kicked through the wall!
"Splash..."
Gravel and dirt were flying everywhere!
In the hallway outside the room, Sasuke was being trampled under Shinki's feet!
Upon hearing the commotion, the guards at Orochimaru's base quickly arrived at the scene!
The Shinki directly created two Wood Release: Wood Human Clones, easily clearing out several miscellaneous soldiers!
Meanwhile, his true form unleashed a bloody massacre on Sasuke, who possessed a rebellious spirit!
A few minutes later, Sasuke was no longer human!
Yeah, looks like a pig's head.
The Laboratory on the other side.
Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi are conducting a secret experiment!
Orochimaru, dressed in a lab coat and goggles, was waving a test tube in his hand...
He stuck out his tongue, licked his lips, and said excitedly, "Just add a little more of this solution... and the experiment will be a complete success..."
The experiment he conducted was to develop a reagent to limit the growth of the Divine Wood Release tree...
If the experiment succeeds, he will be able to capture the Shinki during the next Living Corpse Reincarnation and obtain the body he has always dreamed of!
Hehehe...
However, at that moment, the ceiling above their heads suddenly began to shake violently!
Orochimaru frowned, his eyes turning dangerous.
"What is Sasuke up there?!"
Kabuto Yakushi mentioned Orochimaru, Sasuke, who was standing nearby, looked troubled and said, "Lord Orochimaru, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."
Orochimaru: "I've always liked your straightforwardness. Being so secretive isn't good, Kabuto."
Then, Kabuto adjusted his glasses and said, "Sasuke already knows he's the vessel for your next Reincarnation, and he seems to be searching for a way to counter you these past few days."
Orochimaru wore a nonchalant expression. "I already knew that kind of thing, but as long as this kid stays by my side, he'll never cause any trouble."
Having said that, Orochimaru's face showed longing.
"Besides, once our experiment succeeds, Sasuke will be useless."
"With Shinki's body, who would want his Sharingan...?"
"Furthermore, it seems there's also a Sharingan Shinki...(´◊ω◊`)"
As he finished speaking, Orochimaru's eyes burned with fervor.
It was as if the Shinki was laid out before him, a super lavish buffet!
And this buffet even upgrades itself!
"Now that you mention it, I can't wait to see the Shinki! (๑•́₃ •̀๑)"
At this moment, the noise above their heads intensified.
Sudden.
With a loud "BOOM!!"
The entire ceiling collapsed!
Kabuto Yakushi and Orochimaru stared wide-eyed.
As the smoke cleared, the figures of Shinki and Sasuke became visible.
The image freezes.
Shinki, his hand multiplied, pressed against Sasuke's face. He turned to look at Orochimaru, his eyes filled with astonishment.
Beneath him, Sasuke's face was swollen like a big pig's head, his whole body was covered in a grime, and much of his skin was scraped off, making him look extremely pitiful!
Orochimaru:ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ﾉ!!
Words become law?!
"Oh, I never expected to see you again!"
Shinki smiled and spoke first.
Orochimaru dared not hesitate at all when facing the Shinki!
"Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!!"
"Swish!!"
A swarm of snakes burst from Orochimaru's sleeve and lunged straight at the Shinki!
Shinki controlled Sasuke's body with one hand, while forming hand seals with the other.
Ice Release!
"Whoosh!"
An icy shield appeared in front of Shinki, blocking Orochimaru's Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!
Next to Orochimaru, the strongest support Kabuto Yakushi, fired two Kunai and then turned and ran!
Joke!
A powerful Ninja who can use Sage Art Wood Release!
Running even a second late is disrespectful to his ability!!
Orochimaru's pupils trembled violently, and his expression gradually turned to terror: Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
"Kabuto! Don't leave me alone!!"
Shinki grinned. "It's alright, none of you will escape today! (๑ت๑)"
Shinki then formed a hand seal once more and slammed it onto the ground.
"Mud Release: Mudslide Technique!"
The next moment!
"Splash--"
The rocks and soil within a radius of several hundred meters all turned into muddy water!!
Orochimaru's base here was originally underground, but after the Shinki technique was used, it was turned into a mud pit!!
Correspondingly, Kabuto Yakushi and Orochimaru were both buried in mud, effectively sealing off their movement!
During this time, the Shinki wrapped its body in Ice Release to isolate itself from the mud while simultaneously channeling its Lightning Release Chakra!
"Lightning Field!"
"Splash--"
The Shinki used mud and water to conduct electricity, and used the paralysis effect of Lightning Release Chakra to control Kabuto and Orochimaru!
With his body paralyzed, Orochimaru forced himself to open his mouth!
"Whoosh--"
His new body emerged from the mouth of the old shell, wet and covered in saliva!
Orochimaru-Style Substitution Technique!
Shinki:!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ
This is actually possible?!
As expected of one of the legendary Sannin, their methods are incredibly Eight Gates!
Immediately after breaking free of control, Orochimaru didn't dare to delay. He bit his finger and slapped his hands into the mud!
"Summoning Technique!!"
"Splash..."
A gigantic Manda covered in purple scales was summoned!!
