Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 229 Kakashi: Draw me a useful Orochimaru!
"So many years have passed."

Orochimaru's voice was deep and slow: "You're still being kept in the dark by that cunning brat!"

"How pathetic!"

Orochimaru stared intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi, his golden vertical pupils filled with complex and indescribable emotions.

There was resentment, anger, disdain, and even a hint of barely perceptible pity.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's anger froze, and he instinctively asked, "What do you mean?"

"Hmph, that guy..."

Orochimaru snorted and was about to speak when he was interrupted by an angry roar.

"enough!"

The Fourth Raikage, enduring the excruciating pain of his severed arm, his face contorted with rage, glared at Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru: "Are you two catching up?!"

"Third Hokage! What are you wasting your breath on a rogue ninja? If you can't bring yourself to do it, get out of the way and stop getting in my way!"

“Lord Raikage is right,” Onoki said slowly, floating in the air. “Don’t waste time on these two.”

"Huang Tu, Lei Ying, White Fang, and that little cat, the four of you staying here is enough to deal with them. The rest of you..."

"No!" Yagura Karatachi suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with deep-seated hatred, and said in a hoarse voice, "I will stay here too. I will kill that guy with my own hands!"

Upon hearing this, Onoki didn't care and said indifferently, "Then the rest of you come with me to find the guy who's hiding behind the statue and controlling it, as well as that so-called demon."

"..." Darui opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to stay as well.

"Darui!" The Fourth Raikage said without turning his head, his tone leaving no room for doubt, "Do as the Tsuchikage says!"

Upon hearing this, Darui was slightly taken aback, then his gaze swept over the people who remained, and he instantly understood the Raikage's intention.

Apart from Yagura Karatachi, everyone else who remained here possessed ninja tools.

They need to kill these stone statues to upgrade their ninja tools.

"Yes, Raikage-sama!"

Realizing this, Darui no longer hesitated and solemnly replied.

at this time.

A chilling voice, like the hiss of a venomous snake, rang out in everyone's ears without warning.

"Aren't you guys taking us way too lightly?"

Before he could finish speaking, a ghostly figure appeared behind Darui in an instant.

Orochimaru's pale hand reached out and slapped Darui's body.

It's sizzling!

The Fourth Raikage, his body crackling with lightning, arrived first, using his only remaining right arm, encased in gauntlets, to grab Orochimaru's wrist as it was about to touch Darui.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort from the Fourth Raikage, a sickening sound of bones cracking rang out, along with the sound of flesh being pierced.

Orochimaru's wrist, which had been crushed by the Fourth Raikage, suddenly transformed into sharp spikes that pierced through the Fourth Raikage's palm and hurtled toward his eyes before he could react.

The Fourth Raikage's pupils narrowed slightly as he turned his head to the side, a sharp spike grazing his cheek and leaving a line of blood.

"die!!"

Anger flashed across his face. He grabbed Orochimaru's wrist and slammed him against the hard ground beside him as if he were swinging a tattered sack!
Boom!

The ground trembled violently, debris flew everywhere, and dust filled the air. A huge crater was formed in an instant!

"Get out of here!"

The Fourth Raikage didn't even turn his head, letting out an angry roar.

call!
Without hesitation, Rasa formed hand seals, and the golden sand beneath his feet rapidly surged and condensed into a sand cloud, lifting himself and his guards Maki and Yura into the sky.

Onoki flashed to Hiruzen Sarutobi and Mei Terumi's side, placed his hands on their shoulders, and used "Earth Release: Light and Heavy Rock Technique" to lift the three of them into the sky.

"Hey, wait for me! These stones don't represent my art!"

Deidara, in mid-air, maneuvered the giant clay owl and swooped down, its claws precisely grabbing the shoulders of Darui and Qing, who were still somewhat bewildered.

"Wait..." Before Darui and Qing could even shout, the clay owl flapped its wings, making a piercing sound as it rapidly ascended.

Following the direction from which the stone statue soldiers surged, the nine people flew towards the sealed place of the 'Wangliang'!

Obito Uchiha raised his head and looked at the nine people. His left eye's Mangekyou Sharingan swirled, and he was about to use "Kamui" to kill them.

However, just as he was about to unleash his divine power...

Earth Release: Rock Axe Technique!

Huang Tu's massive body charged forward, his giant axe covering the incredibly hard rock, carrying a terrifying force capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, and smashed down on Obito!
"Coral Palm!" Yagura's right palm once again gathered chakra and struck Obito.

With Huang Tu and Yagura attacking from both sides, Obito had no room to dodge. In Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan, a surge of ocular power flowed wildly once more!
Click!Click!
The azure chakra instantly condensed into the upper skeleton of a giant skull, its arms meeting the rock fist that slammed down from the yellow earth and the coral palm that Yagura of the tachibana tree struck.

boom! boom!
Two extremely muffled impact sounds rang out almost simultaneously!
The giant rock axe of Huang Tu struck Susanoo with a series of crisp sounds, while Yagura's coral palm struck Susanoo's bones but could not budge the defense in the slightest!
However, just as Obito used Susanoo to block the attack from both sides...

Boom!

The hard ground beneath Obito's feet suddenly cracked open, and a swift figure burst forth from the earth without warning!

It was Kakashi Hatake who used "Earth Release: Fang Piercing Technique". The "Kakashi Hatake" in the distance exploded into a cloud of white smoke.

He silently crept up to directly beneath Obito, the gap beneath his feet being the only blind spot in Susanoo's defenses.

Kakashi gripped the wakizashi tightly in his hand, which gleamed with a chilling light. On the blade, violent blue lightning chakra leaped and flickered wildly, emitting a hissing sound!

puff!

A blinding blue lightning bolt shot upwards, followed by the clear sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh.

The wakizashi ripped open Obito's clothes and slashed deeply through his chest, the scalding blood staining the blade and splattering onto Kakashi's face.

The injured Obito let out a muffled groan, a hint of anger rising in his eyes, and raised his hand to slam into Kakashi's chest.

"puff!"

Kakashi spat out a mouthful of blood and was blasted away uncontrollably, smashing into several stone soldiers before rolling several times before stopping.

Obito Uchiha slowly lowered his head, glancing at the wound on his chest from which blood was seeping.

"Ho ho."

A hoarse, chilling laugh echoed beside Obito.

Orochimaru instantly appeared next to Obito. His wrist, which had been crushed and twisted by the Fourth Raikage, writhed violently and was restored to its original state in the blink of an eye.

“It seems…” he shook his pale, slender hand, a cold light flashing in his golden vertical pupils, “we really have been underestimated.”

The only ones left to deal with the two of them were the Fourth Raikage, Yugito Nii, Kakashi Hatake, Kouta, and Yagura Karatachi.

Clearly, these guys' assessment of their own strength is still based on the past.

"Kakashi is yours?" Orochimaru asked.

"..."

Obito was silent for a moment, then felt nauseous thinking about Kakashi's sword. He shook his head and said, "No, Kakashi is yours."

"Whatever, you choose." Orochimaru's lips curled into a maniacal grin beneath his mask. "As for the others, I won't hold back."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a piece of sword hilt from deep in his throat!

Orochimaru raised his hand and firmly grasped the slippery hilt of the sword, slowly pulling the sword from his mouth.

The sword was not straight, but rather serpentine in shape, with a pale white blade covered in fine, snake-scale-like patterns, and a forked tip that resembled a venomous snake's tongue!

The entire sword exuded a cold, sticky, and nauseating ominous aura!

Under the astonished and uncertain gazes of the crowd, Orochimaru gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands and, without hesitation, plunged the twisted, snake-shaped blade into his own abdomen!
puff!

Hot blood gushed out instantly, staining his robes and the blade of his sword!
"Hahaha!"

Orochimaru let out a hissing laugh, his body trembling violently as he shouted, "Plunder everything! Snake Princess!"

With Orochimaru's roar, a cold and vast aura erupted from the sword!

Click!Click!
The pale white serpentine blade began to writhe and twist as if it were alive, transforming into a long, pale white snake that exuded a chilling aura and burrowed into his body!

Even more horrifying, the scalding blood gushing from his abdomen was now spreading wildly in all directions, transforming into nerve bundles that shimmered with a ghostly blue light.

These nerve bundles, like wildly proliferating mycelium, densely packed and overwhelming, pierced into the surrounding stone statues and the earth!
Rumble, rumble! !
The entire earth trembled violently, as if a sleeping giant beast had been awakened!
The stone statue remains, pierced by the blue nerve bundle, trembled violently, and countless fragments of stone tumbled and converged wildly upwards!
Click!Click!
The earth cracked inch by inch, and bottomless fissures spread wildly in all directions. The hard ground was torn apart, and something arched upwards, carrying Orochimaru as it was lifted out of the ground!
A huge plume of smoke and dust shot into the sky, and large amounts of gravel poured down!

"This, what is this?"

The Fourth Raikage and the others looked up in shock, only to see a cloud of smoke and dust obscuring the sky.

A towering half-body stone statue, tens of meters tall and made entirely of solid rock, appeared before our eyes!
Orochimaru was embedded in the chest of the stone statue, his snake eyes flashing with madness as he looked down at the crowd below, who were as insignificant as ants!

"Hahahaha, a bunch of ignorant fools! This is the power of a 'Zanpakuto'!" he hissed. "Offer up your souls!!"

The next moment, the giant statue raised its fist, bringing terrifying wind pressure, and smashed it down on the crowd below.

Sensing the incredibly terrifying pressure and power, both Yugito and Yagura's expressions changed drastically.

Without the slightest hesitation, almost simultaneously, they entered full tailed beast transformation!
"This time we really need to be reliable, we need a useful Orochimaru!"

Kakashi, his eyes grave, muttered something under his breath and drew out his own 'Jealousy,' pouring all his chakra into it.

Jealousy: A Counterfeit Mirror Image!

boom! !
