This was a very strange characteristic, which was directly transmitted to Araki's ears, causing Araki's expression to change drastically.
It seems Orochimaru is about to get serious!
He knew Orochimaru wouldn't be Araki by two such simple poisons, but the fact that it achieved this effect was still beyond his expectations. It was clear that Wood Release Ninjutsu was very powerful and had successfully bound Orochimaru.
However, aside from these, his attack methods are actually quite limited. Araki has been working hard to improve his basic strength, but he has encountered an enemy who is far beyond his ability to cope.
"We can't just sit here and wait to die!"
Araki's eyes lit up at this thought, but even he didn't realize that what shone in his eyes was a series of green lights.
Almost instantly.
A sudden burst of green energy erupted from Araki's body, and terrifying power surged from his feet towards the wood, forging an even stronger connection with it.
At the same time, one after another, wooden figures with shapes appeared on these logs. The wooden figures only had half a body, but they had taken on the appearance of Araki and opened their eyes to see what was happening inside.
Araki created the Wood Clone Technique by channeling Chakra into trees. It wasn't a perfectly formed Wood Clone, but it was enough to perform some reconnaissance.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he saw Orochimaru's figure change.
At this moment, Orochimaru's body was constantly bleeding. Due to the effects of the poison Purple Blood, blood would continue to flow out without any special treatment to his wounds.
At this point, Orochimaru's hands and feet were bound by vines, and these vines were extremely tough, making it almost impossible to break free by brute force. Even Orochimaru could not break free of these vines and had to use external force to remove them.
Araki is very confident about this.
When I was watching the Naruto anime, Orochimaru used the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu to summon the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, and then used the Deep Forest Emergence Ninjutsu. Even Hashirama Senju at that time could trap the Third, who could not break free by brute force and could only be freed by external force.
Not to mention that now that Araki has obtained the power of Hashirama Cells and is also empowered by green Chakra, the trees are constantly surging with Chakra and have extremely strong resilience. If Orochimaru wanted to use the simplest power to break free from these, it would not be so easy. The only sharp sword in his hand Kusanagi Sword, fell to the ground. If it were anyone else, they might have been bound by this constantly bleeding force until they died.
After all, when a person loses blood, their strength is also lost, and when the blood loss reaches a certain level, they will go into shock, which can be life-threatening.
Even Orochimaru couldn't escape these laws of the human body.
If no timely measures are taken to address the situation and the bleeding continues, it will ultimately lead to death.
but...
Araki knew very well that he didn't think he could defeat Orochimaru in this way.
If that's the case...
Orochimaru has become a laughing stock!
Under Araki's gaze, Orochimaru's back surged continuously, with bulges seemingly coming out as if they were alive.
This feeling was similar to the aliens in the science fiction movies he had seen before.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft...
Just then, a series of shattering sounds rang out. These protrusions pierced through Orochimaru's clothes, thus officially appearing in front of Araki.
At first, these were thin white films, as if some kind of life was surging within them. As these films bulged, they burst open in an instant, revealing sharp white scales in Araki's sight.
"Not good!"
Araki's Wood Clone, witnessing all of this, immediately realized what kind of Ninjutsu this was, and quickly canceled the wood clone, transferring everything it had seen back to its main body.
However, there were many Wood Clone present, so even if one was eliminated, many eyes would still be watching what was happening in front of them.
One after another, White Phosphorus Snake with sharp scales burst forth from Orochimaru's body, their terrifying power relentlessly assaulting the surrounding trees, seemingly with an overwhelming force, breaking through all the trees that bound Orochimaru.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions rang out, and the massive body instantly smashed through the trees that were covering it. The force it carried swept across the Wood Clone of the Araki Wood Clone.
In just a moment, the vast forest that had just trapped Orochimaru was swept away into a desolate place with broken trees, and a huge creature appeared in front of Araki's main body.
It was a huge, serpentine monster.
Its massive serpentine body was covered with sharp, spike-like white scales that shimmered in the sunlight. Eight enormous serpent heads stared at Araki, each eye resembling a red lantern fruit, gleaming with a bewitching and sinister light.
"You actually managed to force me to use this move!"
The eight snake heads spoke together, opening their blood-red mouths as they spoke. Their voices, like booming bells, resounded from heaven and earth. Eight-colored dark clouds appeared above their heads, and their enormous bodies, like eight mountain peaks, pressed down on the Araki, presenting an extremely strong sense of shock and oppression.
In Konoha.
Those who were still feeling the earthquake were wondering why such a thing had suddenly happened.
In the world of ninjas...
An earthquake is a very serious event.
This could cause their houses to collapse, or even result in death.
Neither ninjas nor ordinary residents wanted an earthquake to befall them.
However, earthquakes do occur frequently, although they are usually small, lasting only for a brief tremor.
The tremors continued unabated, as if the entire ground was shaking. The intensity and duration of the tremors instilled an indescribable fear in everyone.
However, after such fluctuations continued for some time...
A big question mark popped into everyone's mind.
This earthquake doesn't seem like the kind they've always known, because although they felt the tremors, it lasted for an unusually long time. In their minds, an earthquake that lasts this long must be extremely strong, but this one didn't seem that intense.
This made them realize that something seemed to be happening in some corner they weren't aware of.
However.
Just as everyone's mood was starting to calm down...
An even more terrifying thing happened.
Clusters of clouds of different colors appeared on the horizon.
There are a total of eight colors.
It appeared above the trees in the distance, out of sight.
It doesn't look very far.
But if you walk there, it will take at least half an hour.
certainly.
Faced with this terrifying and bizarre phenomenon.
No one would actually go over to see what was going on.
I'm too busy trying to save my life!
This cast a shadow over people's hearts, because they felt that something had happened over there.
Konoha, Hokage's office.
The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, stared intently at that spot with a furrowed brow. The distance had now exceeded the telescope's field of vision, and it was now just right at the edge of the tree-planted telescope.
He didn't know if this was intentionally designed.
Throughout the entire Konoha, there were not many people familiar with his Telescope Technique, and he preferred to believe that it was all a coincidence.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just then, three figures appeared behind the Third. Each of them was wearing a mask, and it was clear that they were Anbu Ninja.
The leader was dressed in white, while the other two were dressed in black.
"Go and see what happened." The Third didn't turn around, but remained standing by the window gazing at the clouds in the distance, silently instructing the three members of the Anbu Directly Under the Hokage.
"Yes!"
The three answered in unison, and after they finished speaking, they vanished in a flash.
"I hope war will not break out."
The Third Hokage slowly shook his head. What worried him most now was the arrival of people from other villages. Konoha hadn't been very peaceful lately, especially after the recent invasion by the Kumogakure ninjas, which made him bow his head during negotiations.
After the Second Shinobi World War, Konoha's strength was greatly weakened. The village is now completely incapable of fighting another war. Faced with the formidable military strength of Kumogakure, all it can do is swallow its pride and endure.
Almost simultaneously.
Most of the people in Konoha were looking towards the eight-colored clouds on the horizon.
Kushina and Mikoto were shopping together. She had just passed the graduation exam of the Ninja Academy and was wearing the Konoha ninja Forehead Protector. She felt a strong sense of satisfaction.
" Mikoto, look at the clouds on the horizon, they're so beautiful! There are clouds like these!" Kushina wasn't scared by the earthquake because the Land of Whirlpools where she lived was closer to the sea, and earthquakes there were more frequent than in Konoha. Such small tremors were nothing new to her.
"It's really beautiful!" Mikoto nodded, a hint of worry flashing in her dark eyes. "But why does it look a little scary?"
"I wonder if Araki saw those beautiful clouds, and I also wonder where he ran off to after the exam; we can't even find him!"
Kushina pouted slightly, feeling a touch of regret. After witnessing such a beautiful scene, what she wanted most was to share it with Araki and hope to witness this wonderful moment together.
It's just a pity.
She had no idea where Araki was.
I feel a lot of regret.
He silently wished that Araki could also see those strange clouds, so that even though they were in different times and spaces, they could witness this spectacle together.
"That's true!"
Mikoto hadn't realized any of this before, but after Kushina said those words, she suddenly felt how romantic it would be to witness it with Araki.
Beneath the eight-colored clouds.
Araki's face turned ashen.
Even if Kushina and Mikoto racked their brains, they would never have guessed that these eight-colored clouds appeared specifically for Araki, and that Araki was currently standing at the very bottom of the clouds.
The White Phosphorus Snake in front of Araki exuded an extremely powerful aura. Its eight heads stared intently at Araki, and its eight tails were raised and pointed in different directions. Immediately, a strong wind arose, and the trees were all whipped around, making a rustling sound.
This alone caused a gust of wind to blow against Araki, making him feel a pain as if a blade were cutting his skin.
Eight-Headed Serpent!
Upon witnessing this scene, Araki immediately realized that Orochimaru had used his S-rank forbidden technique, the Eight Branches Technique!
In an instant.
