Chapter 375 Giving away heads

Inside the Hokage Building in Konoha, a battle is underway.

Orochimaru showed no mercy in his attack.

In truth, both Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu are indeed Kage-level powerhouses.

However, after years of living a life of ease, the two veterans have experienced a significant decline in their abilities.

Even without the Rinnegan, Orochimaru was confident he could defeat these two old men, even if it was one against two, but he couldn't finish the fight quickly.

After all, these two old men are a bit outdated, but if they join forces to resist Orochimaru, they can still hold out for a while.

If Orochimaru cannot finish the battle quickly, it will be difficult for him to kill the two old men.

Orochimaru's choice to make his move at the Hokage Building was also based on his own considerations.

It's unlikely that these two old men will leave Konoha, and they'll be more vigilant outside the Hokage Building.

Furthermore, Orochimaru had great confidence in the Rinnegan.

Even a single Rinnegan is still a Rinnegan.

Although Orochimaru cannot fully unleash the power of the Rinnegan, it is enough to greatly increase his strength.

At this moment, the Rinnegan stared at the two old men, and then released its power.

In an instant, the illusion was cast on the two old men.

After all, it is a Rinnegan genjutsu, and in terms of power, it is much stronger than the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Previously, genjutsu was Orochimaru's weakness, but after transplanting the Rinnegan, this weakness was overcome.

Even though the two old men didn't make eye contact with Orochimaru, they were still under the influence of genjutsu.

This demonstrates just how terrifying the Rinnegan's genjutsu is.

At the same time, Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword flew through the air, stabbing towards the two old men.

Meanwhile, a large number of venomous snakes summoned by Orochimaru attacked the two old men from all sides.

Although both old men quickly dispelled the illusion, the brief period they were under its spell had already turned the tide of the battle.

The Kusanagi sword pierced through Mitokado Homura's body, while numerous venomous snakes bit Koharu Utatane.

"Orochimaru, you~" Mitokado Homura glared at Orochimaru.

Xiaochun, who was switching dorm rooms, was also very angry.

Orochimaru was actually a little surprised.

I underestimated these two old guys.

Although Orochimaru cannot unleash the full power of his Rinnegan, he can still exert a considerable amount of it. And the genjutsu he uses with the Rinnegan is so powerful that even without eye contact, it is difficult not to fall into the genjutsu.

The two old men didn't make eye contact with Orochimaru, but they were indeed trapped in the illusion.

Orochimaru was surprised that the two old men were able to quickly dispel the genjutsu.

This also made Orochimaru realize that he had underestimated these two old men.

If those two old men had been trapped in the illusion for even a little longer, they would both be dead by now.

As for now, both of the old Dengs are still alive, but they are in dire straits.

First was Mitokado Yan, who was pierced through the body by Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword and was already seriously injured.

Now, Mitokado Yan doesn't have much fighting power left.

As for Koharu Utatane, things are even worse. She was bitten by a venomous snake summoned by Orochimaru and is now severely poisoned.

There are many venomous snakes in Ryūchi Cave, and their venom is classified into different levels.

In order to quickly eliminate Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, Orochimaru summoned extremely venomous snakes.

Even a Kage-level expert would die if bitten by the venomous snakes of Ryuchi Cave.

At this moment, Koharu Utatane was both shocked and furious. She took out a kunai and killed the venomous snake that had bitten her.

But the number of venomous snakes is increasing.

Looking around, there were countless venomous snakes in all directions, which made Koharu Utatane's scalp tingle.

Furthermore, the deadly poison has already circulated in Koharu Utatane's body through her bloodstream.

At this moment, it was visibly clear that Koharu's body had turned black.

Despite taking antidote, Koharu Utatane's medication had little effect.

As for using chakra to suppress it, Koharu Utatane's chakra is sufficient. Although it's difficult to detoxify, it can at least prolong the time. However, given the current situation, Koharu Utatane has no way to suppress the deadly poison in her body with chakra.

On the other side, the Kusanagi sword that had pierced through Mitokado Homura's body was trembling.

Orochimaru was controlling the Kusanagi sword remotely.

Mitomon En knelt on the ground, coughing up blood, his hands gripping the sword blade tightly.

Even as the sharp blades cut through Mitokado Homura's hands, and blood flowed from between his fingers, Mitokado Homura did not let go.

If Mitokado Homura hadn't gripped it tightly, the Kusanagi sword that pierced through his body would have definitely shattered him.

At this moment, Mitokado Homura's feelings were also complicated, including anger, fear, hatred, and regret.

I regret not killing Orochimaru sooner.

Mitokado Homura, the Shadow Squadron of Konoha, is of paramount importance to the village.

Xiaochun, who changed dorm rooms, is just as important.

Orochimaru now wants to kill him and Koharu Utatane; he can't stand to see Konoha doing well!
Konoha is already without Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo, and Jiraiya isn't doing too well as Hokage. If they lose two more advisors, Konoha is truly in a precarious situation!

"Orochimaru, that beast! Orochimaru, who was born evil! Hiruzen should never have taken Orochimaru as his disciple; he should have killed Orochimaru long ago!" Mitokado Homura cried out in his heart.

Seeing that Koharu Utatane had been poisoned and was in critical condition, Mitokado was also very worried.

Jiraiya and the Anbu had not yet arrived.

"Koharu!" Mitokado Homura exclaimed in surprise.

But then Koharu killed a few more snakes and collapsed.

The poison had reached her heart, and Xiaochun was beyond saving.

The death of a partner of several decades is a huge blow to Mitokado.

Just as Mitomon Homura lost his composure, a snake sprang out from the Kusanagi sword that was piercing through his body.

A snake formed from chakra.

For Orochimaru, it's a matter of humans spitting out snakes, snakes spitting out humans, humans spitting out swords, and snakes spitting out swords.

But now, it's a sword spitting out a snake.

It was also developed by Orochimaru not long ago.

However, it is not a real snake, but a snake formed from chakra.

This sudden turn of events caught Mitokado completely off guard.

In an instant, the chakra snakes that sprang from the Kusanagi sword tore apart Mitokado Homura's body.

Just then, Jiraiya finally arrived.

When Jiraiya arrived, he found Koharu Utatane dead from poisoning, and Homura Mitokado dead without a complete corpse.

The murder of two advisors, especially in the Hokage Building, has created a serious problem.

Orochimaru didn't leave either, and stared directly at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya, of course, also saw Orochimaru.

Needless to say, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were definitely killed by Orochimaru.

As for why Orochimaru wanted to kill those two old men, there's nothing strange about that.

It wouldn't be too surprising if Orochimaru destroyed Konoha.

"Orochimaru, your eyes?" Jiraiya noticed another Rinnegan on Orochimaru's body.

Aside from Madara, who possesses the Rinnegan, Jiraiya really can't think of anyone else who has it nowadays.

But is it possible that Orochimaru stole one of Madara's Rinnegan eyes?
Even if the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, were resurrected, he still couldn't defeat Madara.

After seizing Hashirama's power, Madara's strength will only increase.

Orochimaru is not weak, but he cannot defeat Madara.

“Spotted,” Orochimaru said with a smile.

Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Jiraiya could hardly believe it.

At this moment, Jiraiya almost doubted that he had misheard.

Orochimaru's Rinnegan is Madara's?

Madara gave Orochimaru a Rinnegan? That's impossible. So, ruling out Madara giving Orochimaru a Rinnegan, Orochimaru must have taken it himself.

"You stole one of Madara's Rinnegan eyes?" Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru in disbelief.

Orochimaru was actually able to do something like that?
This is incredible.

Even after seeing with his own eyes that Orochimaru had a Rinnegan and hearing Orochimaru say it, Jiraiya still couldn't believe it.

“Obviously,” Orochimaru said.

Once all the impossibilities have been eliminated, what remains, however improbable, is still a fact.

The truth is that Orochimaru stole one of Madara's Rinnegan eyes and transplanted it into himself.

This time, Orochimaru dared to infiltrate Konoha and even come to the Hokage Building to kill Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, thanks to the Rinnegan that gave him the confidence.

Orochimaru is now completely unafraid of Jiraiya.

However, Jiraiya did not make a move.

But two members of the secret service arrived quickly.

Upon seeing that Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were both dead, and then seeing Orochimaru, the two Anbu members were terrified.

"Then, let's prepare for the collapse of Konoha!" Orochimaru laughed as he went out the window.

With the help of the Rinnegan, Orochimaru floated in mid-air.

The next moment, Orochimaru launched Shinra Tensei downwards.

It was merely Shinra Tensei, not Super Shinra Tensei.

With only one Rinnegan, it's quite difficult to unleash the Shinra Tensei. At least Orochimaru can't do it now, but Madara probably can!
Compared to the Super Shinra Tensei, Shinra Tensei is much less powerful.

But as Orochimaru unleashed Shinra Tensei, a repulsive force was also released centered on Orochimaru.

This force was primarily directed at the Hokage Building.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, Orochimaru's Shinra Tensei caused the entire Hokage Building to collapse.

The Hokage Building is undoubtedly the most important building in Konoha.

Destroying the Hokage Building would have a significant impact on Konoha.

Orochimaru's purpose this time is to cause the collapse of Konoha.

This is now part of the plan.

Of course, Orochimaru didn't intend to destroy Konoha.

Orochimaru felt that destroying the Hokage Building was enough.

There's no need to destroy all of Konoha's buildings.

No one was injured despite the collapse of the Hokage Building.

There were quite a few people in the Hokage Building, but almost all of them were ninjas.

Before the Hokage Building collapsed, he was just a genin, so escaping from the building wouldn't have been too difficult.

The bodies of Mitokado Enoki and Utatane Koharu were buried.

Now, nobody cares about the two old Deng's corpses anymore.

Jiraiya stood before the ruins of the Hokage Building, looking at Orochimaru suspended in mid-air.

At this moment, Orochimaru seemed to overlap with the Pain that had been shown on the screen.

This is what Pain did when he destroyed Konoha.

At the same time, many people in the village also saw it.

Panic spread rapidly through the village.

As the Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya certainly wouldn't ignore it.

However, Jiraiya cannot fly, while Orochimaru is in mid-air.

Now, even Jiraiya has a hard time attacking Orochimaru.

Of course, Orochimaru is still within Jiraiya's attack range.

However, even if Jiraiya used a ranged attack on Orochimaru, Orochimaru could easily dodge it while in mid-air.

In other words, Jiraiya was no longer able to attack Orochimaru.

No matter how powerful a force is, it's meaningless if it can't be used to attack.

However, Jiraiya couldn't just let Orochimaru run rampant like that.

Regardless of Orochimaru's true intentions, his actions were still too heinous, after all, he killed Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, and destroyed the Hokage Building.

Many eyes in the village are watching.

"Foolish Jiraiya, goodbye." Orochimaru had no desire to fight Jiraiya.

With a cold laugh, Orochimaru used the Reverse Summoning Technique to go to Ryuchi Cave.

However, a few Konoha ninjas did attempt to use reverse summoning to reach Ryuchi Cave.

Orochimaru wasn't the only one who made a contract with Ryuchi Cave.

Ryuchi Cave is one of the three holy sites, and many people in the ninja world want to form a contract with it.

Konoha is, after all, the strongest ninja village, and it has a solid foundation. Orochimaru isn't the only one who can form a contract with Ryuchi Cave.

……

Longdi Cave.

Orochimaru looked at the Konoha ninjas with a strange expression.

These Konoha ninjas are either Chunin or Special Jonin.

The group together constituted a force not to be underestimated, but Orochimaru considered them nothing special.

Even without the Rinnegan, Orochimaru could easily crush these people.

Now that Orochimaru has a Rinnegan, taking down these Konoha ninjas will be even easier.

Because they had a contract with Ryuchi Cave, which allowed them to summon in reverse, and Orochimaru had come to Ryuchi Cave, these Konoha ninjas followed them.

But in Orochimaru's eyes, these Konoha ninjas were all too stupid.

They're practically courting death.

Orochimaru showed no mercy in response.

We've already killed the advisors, why would we care about mere Chunin and Special Jonin?

Without even using the power of the Rinnegan, Orochimaru directly used snake-style ninjutsu combined with the Kusanagi sword.

Orochimaru has a lot of Kusanagi swords.

Now, Orochimaru directly summoned three Kusanagi swords.

But only the Kusanagi sword was flying in mid-air.

Orochimaru held a Kusanagi sword in his left hand and another in his right.

In addition, Orochimaru summoned many snakes of various sizes, including giant pythons and venomous snakes.

Faced with the snakes summoned by Orochimaru and the sharpness of the three Kusanagi swords, the Konoha ninjas who had chased him to Ryuchi Cave all had solemn expressions.

Immediately, the Konoha ninjas joined forces to resist.

However, under Orochimaru's offensive, all of these Konoha ninjas were injured.

The gap in strength is too large.

There was absolutely no suspense.

Furthermore, since the battle took place in Ryuchi Cave, Orochimaru could summon snakes more easily.

Of course, these Konoha ninjas also had contracts with Ryuchi Cave and could summon snakes to help in battle, but they were far inferior to Orochimaru.

Under Orochimaru's attack, these Konoha ninjas didn't even have a chance to summon snakes.

Orochimaru had no intention of letting these Konoha ninjas go.

As a result, Orochimaru's attacks became increasingly fierce.

Before long, one of the Konoha ninjas was killed, and the rest were more seriously injured.

This made things much easier for Orochimaru.

As for the Konoha ninjas who were fighting Orochimaru, they were all panicked.

Chasing them all the way to Ryūchi Cave was a rash decision; it was practically suicide!
