I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

His body suddenly swayed.

This wasn't because he was intimidated by the opponent's revealed strength and became unsteady on his feet, but because the torture chamber, created by his chakra energy summoning, was shaking violently!

'Clang, clang.......'

The sounds coming from all around were the torture instruments that had been placed on the shelves falling to the ground.

The entire space began to show signs of collapse under the prisoner's desperate struggle!

Who exactly are you?

Seeing the Mist-Hidden Monster, whose hands, arms, and forehead were covered with hideous blue veins from its violent struggle, Morino Ibiki's pupils suddenly contracted.

At the same time, the torture clamps he held in his hand were replaced by a kunai.

He no longer had the confidence to interrogate the monster in front of him; his only option now was to deal with it first before considering anything else!

"Clang!"

But at this moment,

The sudden, abrupt sound of metal snapping struck his ears like a heavy hammer blow to his very core.

in sight,

That human, who resembled a wild beast, actually broke free of the iron chains binding him!

Breathing began to become shallow.

The body gradually lifted off the ground.

Morino Ibiki stared in disbelief at the monster that was using its hands to restrain its own neck and lift it off the ground.

The kunai had already pierced the opponent's arm, and blood was gushing out like a spring!

However, this guy seemed oblivious to everything and didn't budge an inch.

Kisame Hoshigaki, the Hidden Mist Ninja.

[Formerly belonged to Suigetsu Fuguki, the former owner of the ninja sword Samehada.]

[He was known in the village as the Hidden Mist Monster,]

[The Tailed Beast Without a Tail!]

The monster's information flashed through Morino Ibiki's memory like a revolving lantern, and his pupils widened as the savage force applied to his neck grew larger.

[The Tailed Beast Without a Tail]

So, it was a tailed beast... oh...

The calloused, rough hands slowly released the arm that was silently bleeding, and the entire gloomy and terrifying torture chamber collapsed.

The dim, yellow light of the present world gradually dispelled the darkness.

'Clang.'

Kisame Hoshigaki pulled the blood-stained kunai from his arm without a second thought. Then, he tore a strip of cloth from his clothes and used the end to simply bandage the wound.

At this moment, there were no Konoha members left around, presumably having taken advantage of the opportunity created by Ibiki Morino to escape.

After picking up the fallen sharkskin from the ground, he glanced back at the torture expert who had lost all life.

"You won again this time."

Words of resentment were squeezed out of his mouth.

He originally wanted to recreate the scene from the past, wanting to see Ibiki Morino kill his own comrade to protect Konoha's secrets from being leaked.

However, the other party sacrificed himself to create a chance for his companion, who was trapped in a desperate situation, to escape.

This made him wonder in his heart if he had chosen to take a gamble back then, could he have created a miracle for her birth?

Such a question will ultimately never be answered.

The deceased are gone, and there is no point in continuing to think about them.

"However, I can now sit down and eat with my companions."

"Thank you."

May you rest in peace.

Chapter 552 Insects and their numbers are useless to me.

‘Boom! ! ’

With a dull thud, the ground around the outer edge of the arena trembled.

The collapse of stone pillars and the falling of rocks caused by the incident forced a ninja from the Anbu (Anbu unit) to stop in his tracks.

Because if he were to act rashly even for a moment, he would inevitably be buried by these falling boulders.

But at this moment,

More than the towering rock pillars that had collapsed due to the impact, it was more concerned with the tangible object in its field of vision: a huge crystal standing horizontally in front of it, resembling a broken mountain peak!

It was this thing, beyond the comprehension of ordinary human beings, that struck the stone pillar that rose from this land, thus creating the terrifying scene before us.

A chilling glint flashed in the eyes beneath the mask.

This familiar situation reminded Kabuto Yakushi of someone, a woman with whom he had been at odds since they were on equal footing.

But now,

The only remaining bond between them must have been completely broken, and this meeting will inevitably only result in them becoming adversaries.

"Huh? Why would the loyal dog of the Dark Guard be thinking of fleeing the battlefield at a time like this?"

"Shouldn't you go and protect your Hokage?"

A sarcastic or mocking voice rang out at just the right moment.

However, if you analyze the essence of this mockery, what lies beneath is an indifference and hostility that is hard to conceal.

"Ah,"

With a sneer, the man dressed in the ANBU uniform slowly turned around, his raised hand pinching a corner of the white mask and lifting it off.

The thin lenses reflected the precious sunlight in the stone forest. His short, gray hair was tied into a peacock tail at the end. He was still wearing the standard ninja uniform of the Anbu, but a headband with musical notes was tied around his forehead.

"It's been a while, but your mouth is still as venomous as ever, Honglian."

He adjusted his glasses on his nose and then complained to the woman standing on the stone peak.

"Oh?"

"It really is you, Kabuto Yakushi."

"No wonder I felt a sense of disgust as soon as I got here."

Upon hearing this, Honglian's eyes narrowed slightly. Although her face did not show any dramatic expression, her words were no less confrontational.

However, at this moment, Kabuto Yakushi had already shifted his attention from the other party's words to the [Demon] sigma headband that was tied to his forehead.

In an instant, the complaints in Yu Zhi's voice transformed into undisguised, biting sarcasm:

"You, who once longed to become Lord Orochimaru's first reincarnation vessel, have actually changed your will."

"I thought you were determined to stay true to yourself, guard Lord Orochimaru's territory, and would rather die than submit."

"What kind of promise did that guy make to you?"

However, towards the end of his speech, Kabuto's voice suddenly became low and questioning.

Because he really wanted to know what kind of promise Uchiha Ara had made to Guren that caused her to change her long-cherished wish of becoming Orochimaru's reincarnation.

After all, it's simply impossible to conquer this troublesome woman by force or death alone.

To put it bluntly,

Previously, this woman's loyalty to Orochimaru was like that of a loyal dog raised from a puppy!

As for the reason why you want to know,

It was because that night, that person had also left behind a latent hatred and genuine allure in his ear, or more accurately, deep within his heart, which was difficult to erase.

Oh, right.

[I also saw in Aburame Ryoma's memories the one you now follow and serve.]

In other words,

At the time, Yakushi Nonou was aware that he was on a mission to Iwagakure to eliminate Konoha spies.

However, this guy neither said nor did anything.

Afterwards, Dou kept thinking about it.

If Orochimaru had informed Yakushi Nono of his true identity before the mission was assigned, or if he had stepped in to explain when Orochimaru accidentally injured the person...

Therefore, it will certainly not stop treating her.

Perhaps their own lives, and the lives of their fellow orphans, will be transformed and changed as a result.

Hidden hatred:

One of the reasons all of this happened is Orochimaru-sama's indifference!!

"That person merely unlocked memories sealed deep within my mind."

"It made me see Orochimaru's true nature clearly."

When questioned, Honglian neither avoided the question nor gave a complete answer to the promise.

Because she wouldn't allow a dangerous person like Kabuto Yakushi to exploit her weaknesses and turn them into leverage against her.

Even though he desperately wanted to use Orochimaru's close assistant to find the Yukimaru he spoke of and achieve his own redemption.

But that was after they had captured him and interrogated him.

"that's it?"

Kabuto scoffed at the woman's simple, formulaic answer, his deep distrust evident on his face.

After all, explanations like "seeing through Orochimaru's true nature" are simply too ridiculous.
