Under the terrifying Power of Tremors, Orochimaru's Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes collapsed almost effortlessly, starting from the crest of the snake waves.
The swarms of snakes exploded in massive swathes, turning into a rain of blood that eventually buried Orochimaru within them.
He withdrew his fist and watched this scene, Uya's lips twitching again.
Since he went to the battlefield, he has witnessed countless bloody scenes and slaughtered countless ninjas.
But this scene still made him feel annoyed.
Besides Orochimaru, there's also the Aburame Clan, which is a major headache for Uya. Fortunately, Uya wasn't born into the Aburame Clan, otherwise the thought of having worms inside her would send chills down her spine.
Whoosh!!!
The muddy ground suddenly shifted, and Orochimaru emerged from it, his body untouched by any blood.
This time, Orochimaru's gaze towards Uya carried a slight hint of solemnity, but at the same time, it still held a sinister quality that no one could understand.
"As expected, I'm completely helpless against you now... You truly deserve to be called a genius who could suppress Minato Namikaze. You're far more outstanding than I was back then, and your growth rate has indeed exceeded many people's expectations."
Orochimaru looked at Uya, his solemn expression gradually fading, and a slightly upturned smile revealed a sinister grin.
"But Uya- kun, your strength is probably nearing the limit that some people can tolerate. Some people just have such a strong desire for control."
Uya understood perfectly what Orochimaru was talking about.
In essence, this means that if Uya were any stronger, he would be close to breaking free from Konoha's control, Hiruzen Sarutobi's attitude towards him would gradually shift from trust to apprehension.
Besides, even if Hiruzen Sarutobi still trusts him, what about Danzo? And what about the other two elders, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura?
If Uya's strength becomes enough to threaten Hiruzen Sarutobi's position, even if Hiruzen Sarutobi himself remains unmoved, Danzo, Koharu Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, and others will definitely not stand idly by.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and he quickly came up with these ideas. Uya shook his head slightly in the end.
In fact, Uya didn't care about these things, because Uya was very clear that his strength did not increase in a curve, but rather in a step-like leap.
His strength will advance further, not just a small step, but a giant leap!
With the opening of the Fourth Gate of the True Eight Gates Released Formation, Uya will be fearless against all Kage Level shinobi. While he wouldn't dare say he's invincible below the Super Kage, he will essentially have the qualifications to dominate the Shinobi World.
At that time, Konoha will no longer be able to restrain him.
What is your purpose?
Uya looked at Orochimaru and calmly asked.
Uya didn't believe that Orochimaru deliberately came to test his strength just to remind him of this.
Orochimaru smiled wickedly and shook his head, saying, "Actually, I am indeed very interested in the Kusanagi Sword, but right now, I'm most interested in you."
Just as a hint of coldness appeared in Uya's eyes, Orochimaru suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a scroll. The scroll landed on the ground, rolled a few times, and stopped at Uya's feet.
Seeing this, Uya frowned, not understanding what Orochimaru meant, nor what the scroll was.
"The scroll contains what you need. Consider it a small gift from me, or an apology for attacking you without cause. Of course, this is the most I can get."
With that, Orochimaru turned around and slowly walked away, a smile on his face that no one could understand as Orochimaru turned away.
Watching Orochimaru leave, Uya shook his head and looked down at his feet.
What does he need?
What could it be? Another Kusanagi Sword?
I couldn't help but laugh; that's simply impossible.
However, Uya eventually opened the scroll, but only by gently prying it open from a distance with her Kusanagi Sword.
Although Orochimaru wouldn't tamper with a scroll, the fact that Uya Orochimaru.
However, when Uya saw the contents of the scroll, he was stunned.
It really is what he needs!
The Second Stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique!
Having already mastered the First Stage, Uya confirmed the authenticity of the scroll's contents with just a glance!
At the same time, Uya finally obtained definite information about a final Third Stage at the end of this Second Stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique.
Orochimaru... what are you thinking, and what are you planning to do?
Uya realized for the first time that the characters in the original work were not so easy to understand, especially Orochimaru.
Uya didn't know where Orochimaru got this from, but Orochimaru obviously didn't hand it over to the village, otherwise the village would have given it to him long ago.
Instead of handing it over to the village, he gave it to himself.
This was an incredibly bizarre situation. Uya had never imagined that the Second Stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique would fall into his hands in this way.
Orochimaru definitely has a purpose in doing things, but Uya can't understand Orochimaru's purpose. Uya has been looking at this Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique for a long time but still can't see anything wrong with it.
"Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I won't think about it anymore. I'll study it properly when I'm actually cultivating."
Uya shook his head slightly as he looked in the direction Orochimaru had left, then carefully cleaned up the scroll before putting it away.
Although I obtained the scroll for the Second Stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique, it seems I don't have much time to practice it.
The decisive battle is imminent.
The ninjas of Iwagakure are already assembling, almost complete, while the ninjas of Sunagakure are also rapidly gathering.
However, the Sunagakure ninja encountered some problems during their assembly and inexplicably started fighting with the Rain Ninja.
This is exactly the situation that Iwagakure and Konoha wanted to see.
At this point, the Land of Rain was in complete chaos!
Uya returned to Konoha's camp without encountering Orochimaru again, presumably because they had taken a different route.
At this moment, the atmosphere throughout the entire Konoha camp was solemn.
Almost all the ninjas were preparing for battle, whether they were Genin, Chunin, or Jonin.
Everyone's expression was solemn.
Everyone knew that a decisive battle was about to begin, and that at least a thousand ninjas would be deployed.
With such numbers, even Jonin wouldn't dare say they could protect themselves in a war, let alone Chunin and Genin.
Genin are basically cannon fodder.
However, the number of Genin is actually not large; the largest number are Chunin, followed by Genin, and then Jonin.
After returning to the Konoha camp, Uya went directly to Hatake Sakumo to learn about the battle situation. With Uya's current status, even if he couldn't be called a high-ranking Konoha official, he was still higher in rank than an average Jonin.
However, to Uya's great surprise, he received an order from Hiruzen Sarutobi.
That is, to have Uya participate in the decisive battle on the main battlefield as a Konoha Genin, rather than as Special Anbu ' Ten'u '.
Uya was initially extremely surprised.
Because once he uses his abilities, his identity will inevitably be exposed. Once he participates in the decisive battle on the front lines, the code name ' Ten'u ' will cease to exist, and he will be truly brought into the open!
Why did Hiruzen Sarutobi make this decision?
