"My god..."
Immortality plus rapid regeneration-if only he could grow bigger, too.
He was practically a meat shield!
A hellish kit paired with absurdly overpowered stats-with a little teamwork, wouldn't that be enough to slaughter everyone?
Everyone clicked their tongues in amazement and began praising Orochimaru.

Zetsu pointed toward the distant clouds and mist,
