But before he could finish speaking...
Then I heard Arjuramaru's continuous complaints.
"The feel of this tongue is even more unbearable than sweaty hands, how can it be so disgusting!"
Amidst a chorus of complaints.
Orochimaru, completely unaware, picked up the blade and tried to pull it out by gripping the hilt, but at that very moment...
The blade instantly unleashed countless jet-black spikes.
Orochimaru, unable to dodge in time, had both arms pierced by these energy points. "Wh... what!"
Although he was prepared, he didn't expect it to be so strong. Orochimaru instantly released his hands and raised his leg high, trying to kick the blade away.
But just before the kick landed, the blade turned into black smoke and re-entered Naruto's body below.
"Did this knife originally possess its own consciousness?"
Orochimaru grew increasingly curious about it, while Naruto below, seeing this, truly felt a sense of despair for the first time.
Fortunately, Mitarashi Anko arrived to help again.
But defeat was only a matter of time.
Naruto, watching from below, finally asked in his heart, "Asuramaru, do you have any other way to get out of this predicament?"
Before Asuramaru could answer.
The Nine-Tails within him couldn't help but urge, "In this situation, you will surely die without my intervention. Are you still going to hesitate?"
In this despair, she witnessed Mitarashi Anko's defeat and watched Orochimaru's approaching steps.
Naruto's heart was about to be filled with despair, and even his chakra was replaced by the red chakra of the Nine-Tails.
This is also a precursor to things getting out of control.
Seeing the scene before him, Asuramaru stretched his body and asked Nine-Tails a question that had been on his mind for many years.
Why are you unwilling to accept him? Why do you still want to take over his body? Haven't I made you face reality after all these years?
But what he got was the Nine-Tails, who spoke the toughest words in the weakest and most powerless tone!
"Even if you can keep torturing my body, I will never accept any human being. Even if you beat me to death, even if I die outside, that's absolutely impossible!"
There was no skill in these words, only emotion.
If Asuramaru hadn't attacked so fiercely, Nine-Tails wouldn't have given Naruto any recognition, let alone chakra!
However, upon hearing this, Asuramaru simply nodded calmly.
I can understand it, to say the least.
He sighed, expressing his empathy.
"I can understand you. After all, you were beaten up for no reason and then sentenced to life imprisonment. I understand your grievances..."
As they talked, they recalled their own past experiences, and their encounters were somewhat similar. At this thought, they couldn't help but want to swear.
It's all that fortune teller's fault! What did I do to deserve this?!
Even a hundred years later, I still remember that fortune teller vividly. I'll beat you to death sooner or later!
The Nine-Tails looked like it had seen a ghost. For the first time, it experienced what it meant to be understood by this devil who had been beating it up for more than ten years!
This is simply unbelievable!
They even thought they had misheard.
However, Asuramaru then continued, "While I understand you, don't forget who's in charge here!"
That's all.
With a wave of his hand, he suppressed the Nine-Tails, then turned his head and said with a slight upturn of his lips, "It's been a hundred years since you last made a move, hasn't it? Then let's experience a long-awaited battle!"
However, I must warn you beforehand that I will not be responsible for any consequences arising from this!
Upon hearing this, Naruto, who had been in despair, seemed to have grasped a brilliant light and immediately replied without any hesitation.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Asuramaru!"
When Orochimaru saw Naruto unleash the Nine-Tails' chakra, his expression immediately turned serious, but then the Nine-Tails' chakra vanished in an instant.
Orochimaru also stopped in his tracks. After all, the other party was too strange. He cautiously stood not far away and analyzed the situation.
"What's going on? Did he suppress the Nine-Tails again through sheer willpower? Or rather..."
Before he could finish speaking...
Naruto, who was standing with his head down, suddenly opened his eyes, which had been tightly closed, revealing clear, bright sky-blue eyes.
But it turned crimson, like a magnificent gemstone!
Chapter 254 Orochimaru, tempted by immortality
Slowly raising his head, Asuramaru Orochimaru front of him and sneered arrogantly with a slight upturn of his lips.
"Trying to gain immortality by seizing a body with your soul? While it may offer a different kind of longevity, the side effects are severe; it's truly a low-level method."
A few words.
This immediately shocked Orochimaru. He had never mentioned the Living Corpse Reincarnation Jutsu to anyone, yet the person before him had seen through it at a glance!
This prompted it to inquire even more cautiously.
"You can't be that brat, let me guess... You're actually the knife, aren't you?"
He cautiously looked at the other person.
Asuramaru responded, "You guessed right, but there's no reward."
Orochimaru's eyes flickered at this, but he still smiled calmly and probed further.
"That's a real shame. But I'm very curious about your background and origins. Also, you said my Living Corpse Reincarnation is inferior. Do you have a better way?"
Hearing these questions, Asuramaru was in no hurry to take action. While catching his breath, he simply replied, "My name Asuramaru, don't worry about it."
As for how to achieve immortality? That's incredibly simple for me."
After all, one's own domain possesses the abilities of all rivals, regardless of whether it's dice, wasteland, day, old, pry, machine, shepherd, hazelnut, finger, village, skill, tail, slaughter, or health.
At that moment, a system notification sounded in my mind.
[Ding! Host, would you like to buy Muzan Kibutsuji's blood? I've collected a lot before, I'll sell it to you cheaply, how about 100 Emotion Points per drop?]
[Guaranteed to eliminate the spread, effective only on one person!]
Listening to the system's sales pitch, Asuramaru was really starting to lose her temper. "Can't you just stop trying to sell me something, system?!"
But the system simply stopped talking.
This left Asuramaru with a belly full of anger and nowhere to vent it!
Meanwhile, outside, Orochimaru's eyes flashed with doubt after hearing the other party's answer, but he was quickly tempted by the promise of immortality!
Everything he did was for the sake of immortality, to learn all the ninjutsu, and to explore everything!
As for the name Asuramaru, although he vaguely remembered it, he couldn't recall it for the time being.
But that didn't stop him from tentatively asking.
"Then could you tell me what your brilliant ideas are regarding your so-called method for achieving immortality?"
This time, however, he received a curt retort from Asuramaru: "Why do you think I'd tell you?"
As he spoke, he placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"This is a bit of a waste of time. Are you ready to die?"
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru immediately became alert.
He didn't see his opponent as the same brat from before. His vertical pupils were fixed on his opponent, but at the same time, he was also looking forward to seeing how his opponent would perform.
Asuramaru slightly bent over.
Given Naruto's physical abilities, he can only use relatively less burdensome abilities like Breathing Style and Jujutsu!
A flash of lightning appeared!
Endless golden lightning enveloped Asuramaru, shattering the ground along with it, and all that was heard by those present was a single sound.
"Thunder Breathing - First Form - Godspeed: Chidori!" The moment the sword was drawn, a burst of lightning erupted from its blade.
Asuramaru also exerted force with his feet and slashed forward in an instant, his speed even surprising Orochimaru.
"Such speed!"
Without any hesitation, he immediately formed a hand seal.
"Wind Release: Wind Slice Technique!"
Several invisible Wind Blade slashed forward alternately, cutting everything in their path, but only when they made contact with the blades could they reach them.
The Wind Blade shattered instantly.
And the next moment.
Orochimaru's head was also thrown out, but he separated from his body beforehand and used the Orochimaru-Style Substitution again.
The Soft Body Modification, and the lower body moved swiftly through the forest like a snake, constantly analyzing intelligence.
That ability allows for extremely high speeds, but at that speed, it's impossible to turn...
But then he witnessed an unimaginable scene: the opponent turned and attacked again the instant they stepped on the ground.
This time, Orochimaru immediately dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack, but Asuramaru still didn't stop.
He spoke slowly.
"Sixfold Strike!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure shifted through the forest, attacking Orochimaru a total of six times.
However, on the sixth attempt, Asuramaru had to stop, as Naruto's body had reached its limit and could no longer sustain the effort.
The next time it happens, it will inevitably cause the entire leg to be completely shattered. Even if it can heal itself, it won't be done instantly.
There will inevitably be flaws.
Orochimaru noticed this as well, and even though he already had several sword marks on his body, he still smiled and said something.
"It seems this brat's body can't allow you to unleash your true power."
You're right.
Asuramaru didn't try to hide this, because he sensed that the old man Hiruzen Sarutobi was heading this way.
"So what will you do next? I'm really looking forward to it..." Orochimaru licked his lips excitedly, unable to suppress the smile spreading across his face.
"Then let's not waste time, let's decide the outcome with one move!"
A sword appeared in Asuramaru's hand again. He held the sword with both hands and assumed a fighting stance, with blazing flames erupting from the blade.
Until the flames spread out, enveloping him and transforming him into a giant dragon constructed of flames, but its size was just enough to envelop him.
"Dance of the Fire God: Ultimate Technique - Purgatory Dragon!"
The words were finished.
With a roar, the dragon charged straight forward.
"It really does seem like a terrifying ability." Orochimaru was starting to believe it, since he hadn't detected any chakra fluctuations in these abilities.
Orochimaru gave a wicked smile as he faced the attack.
Although powerful, it was far less threatening to him than the previous lightning.
He easily used his substitute to dodge the attack and looked at the figure in the smoke and dust.
But just as he was feeling triumphant...
A sound was heard.
"Untie!"
