Senga Truth-Seeking Orb suspended in her palm and said softly,
"The Truth-Seeking Orb, a product of the fusion of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, possesses the power to turn all things in the universe into nothingness. Would you like to experience it, Orochimaru?"
Orochimaru's clothes were soaked with cold sweat as he backed away, saying...
"Senga, you're joking. I can't possibly withstand that kind of power..."
"Lord Orochimaru!"
Kabuto, who had been sent flying by Naruto, arrived at Orochimaru's side. Upon seeing Senga opposite him, his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in surprise...
"Senga!? How is this possible!?"
Senga smiled at Kabuto and said,
"It's Kabuto! Long time no see!"
Back then, he had a fairly good relationship with Kabuto, and he learned the Mystical Palm Technique from Kabuto.
After a brief moment of surprise, Kabuto's face lit up with joy. He wasn't present when Orochimaru attacked Senga back then, and when he later asked Orochimaru about Senga's whereabouts, Orochimaru only said that Senga was dead.
Kabuto was saddened by this for a while, because Senga understood him very well, got along well with him, and was practically his only friend.
Looking at Senga's long, snow-white hair and her Rinnegan, he couldn't help but ask,
"Senga, what's wrong with you right now?"
"Hehe, I have to thank Orochimaru for this. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Kabuto wanted to say something more, but Senga waved his hand, and an invisible force pushed Kabuto aside.
Orochimaru had already escaped to who-knows-how-far away while the two were talking, but his tricks were clearly useless against Senga.
Senga stretched out her hand, pointed in one direction, and whispered,
"The Banshō Ten'in"
To Kabuto's astonishment, Orochimaru was sent flying back from a distance, only to be grabbed by the neck by Senga.
Everyone was completely bewildered by Senga's abilities, because no one had seen Senga make any Hand Seals, and Orochimaru was captured just like that.
Senga, Orochimaru, said with a smile,
"Orochimaru, why are you in such a hurry?"
As he spoke, a Truth-Seeking Orb slowly floated in front of Orochimaru, about to make intimate contact with his face.
Orochimaru could no longer hold back. He quickly formed several hand seals, and his Chakra surged wildly.
"The Eight Branches Technique!"
Orochimaru's body rapidly expanded, breaking free from Senga's grasp and transforming into a giant Orochi with eight heads and a tail.
Yamato and Sakura were completely stunned. At this point in time, Ninjutsu of the Eight Branches Technique level was practically invincible.
Kabuto was also seeing Orochimaru use the Eight Branches Technique for the first time. He quickly retreated to a safe position and looked at Senga with a worried expression.
He is still very loyal to Orochimaru, but Senga is his only friend, and he really doesn't want to see things in this state.
Orochimaru didn't care about any of that; he simultaneously extended his nine enormous snake heads and bit at Senga.
Senga remained completely calm and composed, even deactivating his Rinnegan and showing no regard for Orochimaru's Eight Branches Technique.
Yamato Senga standing motionless, Senga assumed she was frightened and quickly shouted,
"Senga! Watch out!"
However, the next second, a blank expression appeared on his face.
Senga gently placed Naruto on the ground, then flashed in front of Orochimaru and unleashed a punch that shattered Orochimaru's massive body into countless tiny snakes.
Senga landed back on the ground, and with a casual wave of his hand, he sucked a small white snake hidden in the grass into his hand.
The little white snake's face showed a very human-like look of fear, while Senga looked on with a look of remorse. He had deliberately held back his strength, sparing Orochimaru's life.
Senga originally intended to use the Truth-Seeking Orb- Seeking Orochimaru, but now he has changed his mind.
With Orochimaru looking completely bewildered, Senga wrapped his belt around his waist and tied a knot behind his back, thus creating a genuine Orochimaru belt.
Orochimaru tried to struggle, Senga summoned a Truth-Seeking Orb and coldly said,
"If you don't want to die, you'd better behave yourself."
Orochimaru's body stiffened, then his snake head drooped limply, as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
After dealing with Orochimaru, Senga looked down at Naruto.
Naruto doesn't look too good right now. Since it's his first time entering the Four-Tails state, his skin is all red and blood is seeping out.
Yamato and Sakura also came over at this moment. When Sakura saw Naruto's condition, she immediately knelt down and wanted to use Medical Ninjutsu to treat him.
However, in Senga's eyes, Sakura's healing speed was almost as slow as a snail's pace.
He bent down and placed a hand on Naruto, using Yang Release to inject a surge of vital energy into Naruto's body.
Nourished by the Yang Release, Naruto's body recovered at a visible speed. He opened his eyes in no time and suddenly got up from the ground, startling Sakura and Yamato were standing nearby.
Sakura stared incredulously at the energetic Naruto, feeling like she'd wasted her time learning Medical Ninjutsu.
Yamato looked at Senga with reverence and called him "Senga".
Senga waved his hand, his eyes lingering for a moment on Naruto's golden, spiky head, and said softly,
"They really do look alike."
Naruto had just woken up and was still a little dazed. He looked at Senga in front of him with a puzzled expression and asked,
Who are you?
A warm smile appeared on Senga's face as she spoke.
"I am a friend of your father."
"What!?"
Naruto pointed at Senga and shouted exaggeratedly,
"Are you kidding me?! You look so young, how could you possibly be my father's friend? And do you even know who my father is?!"
Sakura quickly pulled Naruto back and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Show some manners! Captain Yamato said that this Senga... is from the same era as the Fourth Hokage, and Orochimaru has already been dealt with by Senga; he's the one hanging from his waist right now!"
Naruto was completely dumbfounded. He looked at the small white snake at Senga's waist. The snake noticed Naruto's gaze and glared at him menacingly, its expression exactly like Orochimaru's.
Then Naruto remembered what Senga had said: Senga knew his father!
Naruto only knew that he was an orphan, and knew nothing about his parents. From the Hokage to the villagers, no one in the village had ever told him who his father was.
The word "father" was truly foreign to Naruto. He suddenly looked up at Senga, his voice trembling.
"Senior Senga, you just said you're a friend of my father's. Could you tell me something about him? Please!"
Yamato's expression changed. Many people in the Anbu knew that Naruto's father was the Fourth Hokage, but the higher-ups had Commodore telling Naruto this. He hurriedly looked at Senga, wanting to speak up and stop them.
Senga completely ignored him, looking at Naruto and saying, word by word,
"Your father is the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze!"
