The Sound Four scattered, Orochimaru smiled mysteriously. His originally thin body continued to expand, and countless white tissues carrying a huge amount of chakra spread in all directions.
In an instant, a huge white snake, pale all over and with eight heads and a single tail, rose from the ground, its ferocious heads staring ahead.
"Look! My most outstanding disciple, this is the ultimate ninjutsu I created by combining the materials you gave me, a symbol of immortality and regeneration!"
Its mountain-like tail kicked up countless plumes of dust, and a radiant glow gradually accumulated within its ferocious snout, much to Huayue's surprise.
'Hmm? Eight-Headed Giant Serpent can spit lasers? I've never seen Orochimaru use that before. Could it be Yin-Yang Release modified from Black Zetsu's body? That's creative...'
With a smile playing on her lips and an indifferent expression, Huayue's younger generation and the ninjas who have emerged in recent years both inside and outside Konoha do not think so.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me? Turning into a hundred- Eight-Headed Giant Serpent is already pretty shameless, and what's that in its mouth is laser beams?!"
Shikamaru found it hard to believe, Choji next to him had already picked up the last potato chip, put it in his mouth, and was in tears.
"I never imagined that the last bag of potato chips I ever owned would taste like barbecue. I hope that even in this Pure Land, there will still be my favorite Yakiniku Q, potato chips, rice balls, snacks, and dumplings..."
Bang!
"What nonsense are you talking about? You spineless coward! The final victor will definitely be Teacher Huayue. Come on, take down that snake in one go!"
Ino tapped Choji on the head, Choji cheered on Uchiha Huayue, who stood tall in the sky.
" The Inoichi's children are right. Once Uchiha Huayue makes a move, even the legendary Sannin are destined to fail."
The familiar voice made Shikamaru and the others turn around, only to realize who it was.
" Pops? What brings you here now?"
"When the Akatsuki thieves saw the God of Shinobi make a move, they had already fled in panic. The remaining members of the Otogakure have also been almost wiped out. What follows is a battle between kings, and even more so, a battle between master and disciple."
Nara Shikaku expression, but a barely perceptible hint of sadness flickered in his eyes. The Third Hokage, after all...
"Master and disciple? Could it be...?"
"That's right. Just like the master-disciple relationship between the Third Hokage and Orochimaru, the current relationship between Orochimaru and Uchiha Huayue is also like that. However, after Orochimaru defected, he disappeared for more than ten years."
Beside him, Yamanaka Inoichi added, looking at the Eight-Headed Giant Serpent in the distance, and shook his head helplessly.
In Konoha now, only Uchiha Huayue and Orochimaru have the power to fight him. The others who can contend with Orochimaru are more or less involved with him.
"Dad? You mean, Teacher Huayue is Orochimaru's disciple, and what does that weird God of Shinobi mean?"
"You'll find out about this in a bit. It's been almost ten years since we last took action, so it's understandable that the kids are surprised. Back then, even we were so scared that we couldn't eat or sleep."
Akimichi Choza burst into laughter, then glanced at his son who had picked up snacks again, and was at a loss for words.
On the distant stands, Naruto helped up Sasuke, whose eyes were unfocused but who still hadn't broken down, and looked towards Orochimaru in the distance.
"That guy, that guy alone, I will never forgive, Uchiha Itachi..."
Sasuke murmured to himself, while Naruto's face was solemn, a strange sense of sorrow and pain welling up inside him. He had experienced this feeling of powerlessness countless times, until that glimmer of hope appeared and everything took a turn for the better.
"No problem, you will definitely get what you want. Let us quietly enjoy the end of this farce, Sasuke."
The ninjas scattered throughout Konoha silently watched the final scene of this grand spectacle, with many young ninjas gazing up at the figure standing tall in the sky, silently offering their prayers.
"We'll definitely win, Teacher Huayue! We'll turn that Orochi into a snakeskin wallet in one go!"
Hinata shouted excitedly, while her younger sister Hanabi huddled beside her, sensing that something was wrong with her.
"Lord Huayue, let the ninjas of Konoha and the Land of Fire know who the strongest leader is!"
Neji shouted like a fanatic, leaving Tenten beside him looking bewildered.
"Lord Huayue? The name of the ninja who confronted the legendary Sannin?"
Seemingly noticing the cries of the ants in Konoha, Orochimaru revealed his true form from the forked tongue of his central snake head, a half-smile on his face.
"My disciple, let me see which is stronger, my Eight Branches Technique or your Susanoo. I'll use your body as the price to prove it all!"
In an instant, the sky darkened, and a huge, deep purple beam of light carved out furrows, attacking Konoha from all directions.
"As you wish, I will let you personally experience the complex emotions the Third Hokage felt when facing you, Susanoo..."
The world darkened, and the pure white giant clad in Karasu Tengu Armor spread its wings, deflecting the seven deep purple laser beams that were intent on destroying everything toward the heavens.
Mountains, trees, clouds, and the sky—everything within sight was pierced through, yet the Konoha behind them remained completely unaffected.
A fierce wind howled, dark clouds swept across the sky, and six pitch-black shuriken quietly took shape at the fingertips of the Karasu Tengu Giant.
" Orochimaru- sensei, I am well aware of your obsession with regeneration and immortality. It is precisely because I am your disciple that I know your weaknesses so well."
"Hidden Four Symbols - Kamui Shuriken!"
Whoosh whoosh!
At the core of the jet-black shuriken, jet-black spheres were about to explode, suddenly landing before Orochimaru's eyes across countless dimensions.
" The Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique? How could such a suicidal ninjutsu be thrown like a shuriken?!"
Ripples spread through the pitch-black space, and a powerful twisting force instantly sealed the six white snake heads. Orochimaru's expression changed, and a mass of flesh and blood appeared at the point where his tail had been torn apart without leaving a trace. He then wrapped around and strangled the giant in front of him.
" Uchiha Huayue, you bastard!!!"
" Orochimaru- sensei, please don't struggle. This is too unsightly. Restricting movement is not a good judgment. You should have seen my Blood Movement Armor before."
Countless regular, flowing azure patterns appeared on the surface of the Karasu Tengu Giant's body in the blink of an eye, instantly wrapping around the Eight-Headed Giant Serpent before them.
"Farewell, Orochimaru- sensei... Although I really want to say this, I'm afraid the methods you've secretly set up will soon reappear before my eyes."
After a brief silence, azure light replaced the sun in the sky. After the massive Sealing Jutsu completely sealed Orochimaru, a jet-black shuriken accurately pinned the fleeing white snake.
As the chakra slowly dissipated, under the watchful eyes of the young ninjas, Huayue landed in Konoha, removed her mask, and smiled gently.
"This is... the God of Shinobi..."
