"Orochimaru?"
"Orochimaru?"
Jiraiya and Tsunade were already somewhat shocked to see Orochimaru, though they were not entirely surprised. Still, they were curious about Orochimaru's current appearance.
Orochimaru had become younger.
But since Orochimaru had appeared now, he must have been inextricably connected to Xuanyu.
"Little Jiraiya, this man is terrifyingly strong too. I can sense an extremely terrifying energy contained within him!" Sage Shima, perched on Jiraiya's back, could not help speaking despite her speechlessness.
In Sage Mode, the two Toads could sense several terrifying energies coursing through his body.
"That's right. There are several special energies inside him. Every one of them is powerful, as though he's some kind of patchwork creation!" Sage Fukasaku could not help speaking as well, his tone grave.
There was one more thing the two Toads did not say.
Although the energies in Orochimaru's body were chaotic and mixed, he was like a weaker Uchiha Xuan Yu. They could sense Uchiha Xuan Yu's terror as well, even several special energies entwined within him.
However,
Uchiha Xuan Yu had perfectly fused all his powers together, while Orochimaru before them seemed like an imperfect replica.
That was right. An imperfect replica.
"I sensed it too, but he's very strong!" Jiraiya nodded, his expression growing increasingly solemn.
He could sense that Orochimaru's power at this moment was likely no weaker than his own. Moreover, several special energies seemed to exist within him, like various special Kekkei Genkai.
If they truly fought, even in Sage Mode... he was probably no match for Orochimaru now.
"Orochimaru?"
Tsunade also felt a terrifying pressure when she saw Orochimaru, one even stronger than Sarutobi Hiruzen's.
It seemed that
Orochimaru had changed greatly during his long time away from Konoha.
Orochimaru likewise sensed Jiraiya and Tsunade's gazes. He merely smiled faintly at them
