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

Chapter 235 The Power of Light and Darkness
呲! !

A sharp, ear-piercing cutting sound suddenly rang out.

The massive rock club at the very front was sliced ​​in two without any resistance the moment it came into contact with the cyan wind blade!
The broken edge is as smooth as a mirror, without any flaws!

The two severed rock pillars, carrying tremendous momentum, grazed the sides of Hyuga Kumokawa's body and flew backwards, crashing heavily into the rock pillar cage and shattering with a deafening roar!

"Is that Wind Release?"

Orochi-hime stared at the wind blade, feeling a slight sting in her eyes. She subconsciously adjusted her glasses: "It's actually from the Hyuga clan?"

Even she had never seen a ninja use Wind Release chakra of this degree in terms of nature and form transformation before.

Normal wind-style ninjutsu cannot penetrate the stone statue's defenses. The wind-style ninjutsu displayed by this Hyuga clan member is almost beyond the capabilities of humans.

"That guy..."

The two wooden figures' cat-like eyes narrowed slightly, and the fur on their necks stood on end.

That guy has gotten stronger again.

After severing the first rock pillar, Hinata Kumokawa charged into the death jungle formed by the subsequent rock pillars without hesitation.

Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!
The continuous, ear-piercing cutting sound resounded wildly. Wherever the cyan wind blade passed, no matter how thick and hard the rock rod was, it was easily split in two, with a smooth and flat break!
Countless massive rock pillars, severed from the sky, fell from mid-air, crashing onto the ground or rock pillars with deafening roars and cracking sounds!

Gravel flew everywhere and smoke filled the air!
All that could be seen in the smoke and dust was a white figure, moving swiftly and accurately severing a deadly rock club with each swing of the blade!

Orochimaru, inside the stone statue, suddenly had his pupils shrink to slits.

too fast!
That speed is impossible to capture!
He couldn't detect even the slightest trace of Hinata Kumokawa's actions!
boom! !

Without hesitation, Orochimaru controlled the colossus, and countless sharp stone spikes suddenly sprang up from the surface of its massive body, shooting out into the dust and smoke!

A saturation attack that covered all the space in sight, and a torrential downpour that could not be avoided, forced Hinata Kumokawa to appear!
Faced with Hinata Kumokawa's overwhelming speed, this was the only thing he could do.

Sure enough, several extremely dazzling and colorful sparks suddenly burst forth in mid-air!
It was the sparks that flew when the ring-pommel sword deflected or shattered those deadly stone spikes!
"die!!"

Orochimaru instantly caught sight of the faint, flickering white shadow. With a devastating aura, his massive body swung its giant arm and slammed it down on the fleeting phantom!

The giant fist unleashed a violent hurricane, crashing down with a piercing shriek that tore through the air!
boom! !

Two Tailed Beast Balls slammed into Orochimaru's legs, causing the giant statue to stagger before managing to regain its footing.

He swung his fist again, but it only created a futile hurricane in the air before landing in empty space.

Hinata Kumokawa's speed increased again, leaving a blurry afterimage in the air!
"All you can do is run away?" Orochimaru and the rock giant roared angrily at the same time.

As it spoke, the colossus raised its leg and stomped down hard, shattering the ground and lifting up large slabs of rock. Countless earthen spears emerged from the ground, binding the two troublesome tailed beasts.

"Get out here!" Orochimaru said coldly, "or I'll kill them first!"

"Ah."

A burst of laughter suddenly came from behind, and Orochimaru controlled the giant statue to turn around.

But just as he swung his arm to strike!

hum!
Countless moons suddenly swept across the colossus's massive body, accompanied by a dense barrage of slashing sounds!
Countless dense cracks instantly appeared on the rock colossus's hard body.

One of the most powerful moon-shaped strikes once again slashed across the colossus's left shoulder, sending debris flying and blue nerve tentacles gushing out like blood!

Hinata Kumokawa appeared silently behind the giant statue, casually flicking his ring-pommel sword to remove the blue slime clinging to it.

boom! !

Behind it, the giant's newly grown left arm was severed at the shoulder once again, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up clouds of dust!
"Ugh!!" The stone statue let out a muffled groan of suppressed pain and anger.

In a single encounter, it lost its left arm once again.

This is an absolute speed crushing victory.

Hyuga Kumokawa's Wind Release chakra nature and form transformations had already reached their limit, but now the appearance of the "Hogyoku" has once again pushed his Wind Release skills to the limit.

If Orochimaru hadn't been facing Hyuga Kumokawa, and if he hadn't faced Hyuga Kumokawa whose physique and bloodline had broken through once again, he would never have been in such a sorry state with his abilities.

"The strength is good, but the speed is too slow."

Hinata Kumokawa looked at the stone statue and shook his head. Around those pure white eyes, bulging blue veins spread out from under the skin.

Everything in sight—energy flow, structural weaknesses—is now fully visible!

No, it's more than that.

In his eyes, everything seemed to slow down.

The colossal statue's body and the billowing smoke seemed to be frozen in time, forming a painting.

The next moment, Hinata Kumokawa's figure seemed to merge into the wind and instantly disappeared from the spot.

A wind blade imbued with wind-style chakra slashed out and instantly pierced the heart of the rock giant!

clang! !

A dull, piercing impact rang out as the wind blade struck an exceptionally hard, metallic-looking black rock!
This is the last line of defense protecting Orochimaru's body, and the hardest core part of the entire colossus!

Faster!
"How can it be?!"

The intense impact and chilling aura of death were clearly transmitted to Orochimaru's senses through the rocks, causing him to feel a sudden jolt in his heart.

why?
I already possess such immense power!
Why, why is there still no way to deal with that brat?

Could it be, as that woman said, that I didn't use the power of "Snake Princess" correctly?!

Fear and self-doubt, like venomous snakes, coiled around Orochimaru's heart at this moment.

No, no, no, that's not right!

"It shouldn't be like this!"

Orochimaru roared, wildly swinging the giant's right arm haphazardly, continuously using Earth Release ninjutsu to shoot earth spears, attempting to attack the unseen enemy.

However, he couldn't even touch the hem of Hinata Kumokawa's clothes!

The next moment, the ring-pommel sword slashed down on his 'heart'!

The stone statue roared and attacked, but missed again. The ring-pommel sword reappeared and slashed at the same spot once more!
boom! boom! boom!
Explosions rang out continuously as Hyuga Kumokawa streaked across the white clouds in the sky. Dust, white mist, and the wildly dancing giant statues created a brutal and grotesque scene!
The ring-pommel sword scraped against the stone statue with a screeching sound, slashing at the last line of defense protecting Orochimaru's body, sending large amounts of white ash and gravel flying in all directions like snowflakes!
This cycle repeats itself, like a maggot clinging to a bone!
Once, twice, three times...

Hinata Kumokawa unleashed a flurry of wind blades, concentrating them on a single point for rapid, intersecting strikes, the crescent-shaped blades slashing towards the last line of defense.

If the interval between each slash is longer than a second, Orochimaru's defense might be able to withstand such a burst of power.

Unfortunately, these strikes were completed within a second.

Kaka! Click!
On that incredibly hard black rock defense, cracks spread like a spider web, reaching their limit!
at last……

Bang! !

A shattering sound, like glass breaking!

Under Hyuga Kumokawa's relentless and precise slashes, which were so intense they were almost despairing, the rock protecting Orochimaru's body was forcibly chiseled open!
Deep within the cavern, in the dark core space, Orochimaru opened his eyes wide in horror, clearly seeing the Byakugan outside through the broken crack!

Hyuga Kumokawa swung his sword, delivering death to Orochimaru. *Sizzle!*

In an instant, only a silver crescent moon remained in Orochimaru's eyes.

Driven by instinct, he suddenly opened his mouth, and his mouth was forcibly torn open!

Several hard, black objects, no bigger than a thumb, covered in sticky saliva and smelling fishy, ​​were vomited up from his stomach!
It's his cyborgs!

They were forcibly kneaded together by an invisible force, their bodies began to twist, deform, and melt violently, emitting a cracking sound of bones dislocating and a sticky sound of flesh and blood merging!
In an instant, those tiny black figures merged into a gigantic, deformed, and grotesque maw that seemed to have crawled out of a nightmare!
The enormous mouth, filled with jagged, black fangs, had barely taken shape when it suddenly lunged at Hyuga Kumokawa, who was wielding his sword, with a nauseating, fishy stench!

Hinata Kumokawa's figure was instantly swallowed up by that terrifyingly open mouth!
In that instant, Orochimaru finally understood.

It wasn't that I misused the power of 'Snake Princess'.

It's because I wasn't "wrong" enough!
Connecting and merging one's nerves and senses with inanimate objects is the most foolish thing to do!
The focus should not be on external things, but on one's own body!
He should use this ability to modify the human body, to transform his own body.

They plunder every life they can take, stealing everything from them, including their genes and cells, until they become the most perfect individual...

puff! !
In just a moment, a dull, teeth-grinding tearing sound suddenly rang out from inside that deformed mouth!
Immediately afterwards, the terrifying maw, forcibly fused together from countless pieces of flesh and blood, exploded from the inside, sending viscous flesh and shattered fangs flying everywhere!

At the epicenter of the explosion, Hyuga Kumokawa emerged unscathed from the filth that filled the air, instantly appearing before Orochimaru.

The cold blade sliced ​​through his waist without any resistance!
Scalding hot blood gushed out instantly from the smooth, mirror-like cut!

"puff!!"

Orochimaru spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. The blood and flesh mutated into countless sharp spikes that shot towards Hyuga Kumokawa, interrupting his attack.

"I can't die! I can't die! I understand the true power of 'Snake Princess'!"

Before he could even feel the excruciating pain, the instinct for survival drove Orochimaru to use his last ounce of strength to let out a piercing, shrill roar:
"Obito!!"

On the other side of the battlefield, Obito Uchiha knelt on one knee, panting heavily, as he deactivated the Susanoo that had been consuming so much energy.

In his pair of scarlet kaleidoscope Sharingan eyes, his left eye has become increasingly dim and blurry.

Before him lay Huang Tu, his face deathly pale, a gaping wound piercing his abdomen, lying unconscious in a pool of blood. The mangled wound was clearly caused by "divine power."

The Fourth Raikage was covered in blood, and his Raikage robe was already tattered.

"Huh...huh..."

He stood at a distance, struggling to stay upright, breathing heavily. Each breath seemed to aggravate his broken bones and torn internal organs, and blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth.

He stared intently at Obito, whose heart was equally heavy.

This Fourth Raikage is so fast it's almost inhuman; no wonder he was once a monster who could rival Minato Namikaze in speed.

Even though he was severely injured by Orochimaru before, he was still able to dodge Orochimaru's "Kamui" attacks several times thanks to his terrifying fighting instincts and reaction speed that exceeded the limits!

Both the Third and Fourth Raikage were proficient in "Lightning Release Chakra Mode".

However, unlike the Third Raikage, who focused on attack and defense and was thus known as the "strongest spear" and the "strongest shield," the Fourth Raikage focused on increasing speed from beginning to end.

In the original work, he was able to dodge Amaterasu, which was released by Sasuke Uchiha using the dynamic visual speed of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

If we exclude ninjas like Minato Namikaze who mastered space-time ninjutsu, the Fourth Raikage would probably be the fastest ninja in the entire ninja world.

But he was eventually at his last gasp.

Obito Uchiha could clearly feel that with each dodge, his opponent's body was trembling violently, and blood was constantly gushing from the burst wounds. Clearly, he couldn't hold on for much longer!

A cold glint flashed in Uchiha's eyes, and his remaining ocular power frantically gathered in them, locking onto the Fourth Raikage's head.

However, at this critical moment!
Orochimaru's shrill roar, filled with terror and despair, suddenly reached Obito's ears!

"Obito!!"

Obito's body suddenly froze, and he subconsciously raised his head. His Mangekyou Sharingan instantly locked onto the direction of the giant rock statue in the distance!

Seeing Hyuga Kumokawa swing his sword at Orochimaru, who had already been cut in half at the waist!
The blade was only inches away from Orochimaru's head!
"Damn it!" Obito couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Orochimaru cannot die!

He has very few people he can use now!

Without the slightest hesitation, Obito focused his eye power as he looked at Hyuga Kumokawa.

hum!
A powerful force of spatial distortion instantly traversed the distance of space and locked onto Hyuga Kumokawa with unparalleled precision!
Divine power!

"Watch out!" Kakashi Hatake's roar came at the same time.

In mid-air, Hyuga Kumokawa's eyes flickered slightly, and a solemn expression appeared on his face at just the right moment. His ring-pommel sword, which was aimed at Orochimaru's head, suddenly stopped!
He barely managed to shift his body and retreat, avoiding the distortion of "divine power".

Unbeknownst to everyone present, the shadowy figure behind Hinata Kumokawa was distorted by "Kamui" and entered the darkness.

The wind blade narrowly grazed Orochimaru's neck, leaving a thin, bloody gash on his skin!
The next moment, Obito Uchiha appeared in front of Orochimaru.

Before he could do anything, Orochimaru blurted out, "Kill him! Kill Hyuga Kumokawa!"

Who?
Who killed whom?
Obito Uchiha's face darkened, and he grabbed the man's shoulder without hesitation, sending him into the Kamui dimension.

"Uchiha Obito!"

Hinata Kumokawa's gaze pierced through him, and he raised his hand to form a hand seal, unleashing a slash with the blade in his hand.

puff!

The wind blade that arrived in an instant slice ripped through Obito's chest, splattering blood.

Obito Uchiha's expression changed beneath his mask as the vortex swallowed his figure, disappearing completely into the air before being severed.

Seeing this, Hinata Kumokawa frowned, flapped his wings, and landed on the ground.

"Kakashi." He looked at Kakashi Hatake and asked hurriedly, "What happened? How did Orochimaru and Obito Uchiha end up here? Where are the Third Hokage and the others?"

"Phew!" Kakashi Hatake wiped the sweat from his face and said in a hoarse voice, "Orochimaru and the other two suddenly appeared. They must have cooperated with 'Mouryou'."

"The Third Generation Lords have already gone to find the 'Wraith'!"

Having said that, he looked at Hyuga Kumokawa, who was radiating a powerful aura, and asked expectantly, "Well, has the priestess passed on her power to you?"

Both he and Hiruzen Sarutobi had heard from Miroku's projection that without the priestess's power, it would be impossible to kill the demon.

Hinata Kumokawa nodded and said in a deep voice, "We need to hurry over there, or we'll be too late..."

If you arrive too late, the power of the 'Wangliang' will be irretrievable.

Yes.

He not only wanted the power of the priestess, but also the power of the demon.

Hinata Kumokawa and the 'Shadow' each possess two bodies and identities, each receiving the power of "light" and "darkness".

The main body is responsible for absorbing pure spiritual energy, while the 'shadow' absorbs negative spiritual energy, much like the relationship between a priestess and a 'wraith'.

When these two powers merge, the 'Hogyoku' will be complete, and the Otsutsuki Kumoshiki will appear in the world.
