Summoning: Triple Rashomon

Karin was slightly taken aback upon hearing Orochimaru's words.

A hint of doubt flashed in her clear eyes, as if she couldn't believe that Orochimaru, who had saved her, would deceive her.

In her mind, Orochimaru was bad, but he was bad in a way that had his own principles.

A sly glint flashed in Orochimaru's narrow eyes, and he lightly licked his lips with his long tongue, as if he were plotting something.

Then, he raised his hand and waved it, and countless brown snakes surged out like a tide, swiftly binding Jugo and Karin tightly.

Jugo's eyes widened in fury as he roared, "Hah-- Explosive Shatter Strike!"

The arm, under the Cursed Seal Transformation, turned completely black, with rock-like spikes on the elbow joint, making it look extremely heavy.

He unleashed a powerful punch, instantly festering the snakes and leaving many dead or wounded.

However, more brown snakes silently attacked from other directions, coiling around his legs and spiraling upwards, instantly taking control of his body.

Jugo was both angry and anxious, and he cursed, "Damn it!"

He grabbed at the snake coiled around his body and tore it apart violently. The severed snake spat out blood, staining his body red.

Soon, Jugo fell into his second personality state—bloodlust.

He tilted his head, grinned, and with a ferocious expression on his face, roared, "Hahahaha! I'll kill you!"

His entire body was black, and several dark-colored tubes emerged behind him!

With a loud shout, a large amount of blue Chakra burst forth from him, like an explosion of energy. He shot towards Orochimaru like a cannonball, along with the snakes on his body!

He was shouting, "Hahaha!! Die!"

Orochimaru remained completely unfazed, a sinister smile playing on his lips as he swiftly Hand Seals.

Suddenly, three thick Rashomon with ghostly faces appeared out of nowhere.

Without the slightest hesitation, Jugo slammed his body directly into Rashomon like a cannonball.

"Bang!"

A loud bang!

Rashomon was instantly distorted and deformed by the impact!

Jugo's maniacal laughter echoed in the air.

"Hahaha, I'll kill you, I'll kill you!!"

At the same time, a dull, continuous sound of bombardment against the wall could be heard.

Under continuous bombardment, Rashomon twisted and deformed to its limit, and suddenly broke apart, revealing a fracture.

Jugo, panting, laughed, "Hahahaha!! I'll kill you...?"

However, when he looked out from the broken wall, he was stunned to find that there was another wall on the other side.

Orochimaru had somehow gotten behind him, a smug look on his face.

In an instant, a large, dark brown snake flew out from Orochimaru's sleeve and tightly wrapped around Jugo.

The giant snake flicked its long forked tongue, waving it in front of Jugo as if it were about to swallow him whole at any moment.

Jugo remained agitated, shouting, "I'll kill you!!"

But the giant snake, as thick as a bucket, coiled around him at least three times, and no matter how hard he tried to unleash his Chakra, he couldn't break free.

Orochimaru said softly, "Come back with me. Although your Sage Body is very strong, it cannot control the absorption of Natural Energy, so it's not suitable for you to stay here."

With that, he hoisted Karin and Jugo onto his shoulders and prepared to enter the village.

Seeing Orochimaru's actions, Izumo Mizuki Izumo hesitated and said, "Lord Orochimaru, although they are experimental subjects, but..."

Orochimaru turned his head slightly, revealing a sinister smile, licked his lips, and said, "Oh? That's fine then. But I happen to be short two test subjects. You two are also welcome; your bodies look quite good."

That sinister smile instantly sent chills down the spines of both Mizuki Izumo and Kotetsu Hagane.

Kotetsu Hagane quickly stepped aside, saying, "Lord Orochimaru, please come in. You are the Lord Hokage's partner, and we shouldn't stop you. Otherwise, the Lord Hokage might reprimand us."

Orochimaru chuckled lightly, then led Jugo and Karin into the village, thinking to himself:

As expected, I'm still too terrifying-looking. They just smiled and let me pass. Next time I'll have to find a more approachable vessel... Kanami is not bad, hmm... but I can't beat him.

After Orochimaru had walked away, Mizuki Izumo patted his chest, a look of horror on his face, and said, "That scared me to death! Orochimaru is so terrifying! Every time I see him, I feel like he wants to eat me alive."

Kotetsu Hagane said irritably, "You actually dare to stop him? Orochimaru is one of the Legendary Sannin, the one who even killed his own teacher. He might actually eat you up in a fit of anger!"

"If I were to eat you, that would be one thing, but if I were to get eaten along with you, I would be so wronged!"

"Fine, what, you think it's a hardship to die with me?"

"You're wronged! I still need to get married, who wants to die with you?"

"You're getting married? Look at your hair, all frizzy! No wonder no one would want you. You'd better just stay Guardian God!"

"Aren't you the same? You're no better than me, Izumo!"

At home, Kanami frowned slightly and murmured, "Orochimaru seems to have brought two people back..."

Hinata Hyuga sat down next to Kanami, a hint of doubt in her beautiful eyes, and asked, "Lord Orochimaru?"

"Yes, he brought two people with him. One of them had a very large amount of Chakra, and the other had a strange body, with Natural Energy constantly flowing into his body automatically..."

Hinata blinked her beautiful eyes, and said thoughtfully, "Automatic entry into the body? Isn't that Sage Body?"

Kanami immediately realized what was happening and pondered for a moment.

Sage Body?

It's Jugo.

Since it was Jugo, he immediately thought of Karin as the other person.

Karin of the Uzumaki Clan has a large amount of Chakra, which makes sense.

Hinata asked worriedly, "Should we go see what he's doing? He's not going to... again, is he?"

Kanami shook his head and said, "It's alright. I roughly know who those two people are. They shouldn't be doing those kinds of experiments again. I don't see any serious injuries on them."

"Hinata, come with me to the moon today to try out the Rinnegan. I feel like it's going to be a huge burden for me."

Kanami gently touched his left eye.

"Okay, I'll open the Moon Tunnel right away."

Hinata Hyuga finished speaking, her white eyes transformed into the Tenseigan.

The movements were fluid and seamless, without any unnecessary or complicated actions.

Soon, a teleportation array emitting a faint purple light appeared in front of the two.

Meanwhile, before Obito Uchiha had even left the border of the Land of Fire, he detected Kabuto Yakushi's presence somewhere.

After Obito Uchiha emerged from the Kamui Dimension, he saw Kabuto Yakushi's bewildered expression.

He frowned and asked, "Kabuto, what are you doing here?"
