The airtight reasoning and the corroboration of every detail made Orochimaru, who was obsessed with all kinds of forbidden techniques, even more convinced of his own conclusions.
At the same time, the strategic policy that had emerged in his mind gradually became clear: the old man, who had lost even basic analytical abilities, could no longer be called a partner.
We must escape!
"That's it,"
"So you thought this was an illusion."
"Ah,"
"It seems that the Akatsuki organization you hired did not tell you all the information about me."
Ara finally understood what the Third Hokage had said.
But it's really not his fault that he didn't understand what the other person meant immediately.
After all, he had already used the secret technique "Dream Return" when he was ambushed by Nagato in the Land of Snow, and used it to resist the powerful forbidden technique "Shinra Tensei" which gathered the power of the other five Pains.
However, the Akatsuki organization, which has always maintained high professional ethics, did not reveal such a reason for failure to its employer, which is outside of Ara's intelligence scope.
"As for the cost,"
"Of course there is..."
Concerned about Orochimaru, who was also staring intently at him and eager to hear what was to come, Ara dragged out his words without speaking directly.
It wasn't because they wanted to tease the two of them or keep the master and apprentice in suspense.
Rather, it was simply because his condition was also very bad at the moment. The repeated use of the powerful Demon Binding Forbidden Technique had already exhausted all the chakra energy in his body.
"But if you want to know,"
"Then pay the price for betraying me first."
"Stinky snake."
Only when streaks of azure flames leaped around him, replenishing his depleted chakra with the power of the Zashiki-warashi, did Ara continue to speak, his eyes revealing indifferent disdain.
【Ghostly Entanglement - Fireworks Restraint!】
[Haunted by Ghosts - Possessed by Evil Spirits!]
As for the cost...
I had already pawned everything about myself, except for my eyes, to that girl.
In that cold stare, a tremendous sense of unease suddenly filled Orochimaru's heart and lungs. He instantly wanted to turn back and escape, and he didn't care whether he knew about the so-called price or not.
Anyway, through experimentation, I'll be able to take control of it sooner or later!
Uchiha Sasuke was their designated experimental subject!
The python dispersed, its arm withdrawing.
But just then, as he desperately tried to leave the area the other could reach,
A temperature that wasn't his own suddenly descended upon his right arm.
The pullback was abruptly stopped, and a strange, chilling sensation traveled from Orochimaru's arm to his nerves.
Focus your attention on it.
It turned out that the hand that stopped the movement of pulling away was a strange human hand!
Upon closer inspection, it appears that something inexplicable is faintly covered on that somewhat illusory palm, as if it were another invisible ghostly claw!
This shocking sight immediately reminded Orochimaru of something. The moment he looked up, he saw the hideous demon he had vaguely glimpsed before!
The difference is that,
Previously, it was just a vague glimpse, without any definite identification or impression.
but now,
They truly locked eyes, and Orochimaru could clearly see the patterns on the demon's blue face, and count whether the demon's exposed fangs were single or double.
What truly chilled him to the bone was that the demon clinging to Uchiha Ara was crawling towards its location, its constantly opening and closing mouth seemingly saying:
Hey, do you want to be friends with me?
"Get out of here,"
"Go away!"
"Who wants to be your friend?!"
Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils suddenly contracted, and he roared out.
He didn't understand what kind of ninjutsu this was, nor did he understand whether the demon leaping into his field of vision was real or an illusion.
But there was one thing he was absolutely certain of.
Faced with this ominous unknown that tries to befriend you, escaping is the only thing you really need to do!
But no matter how hard he tried to escape, his right arm, which was being held by the other party, was like being stuck in quagmire and could not be easily pulled out!
Even on his pale skin, five hideous, terrifying bloodstains had appeared!
“Let me go!!”
As Orochimaru watched the phantom of the demon gradually pass through the Vajra Cage, his fear was amplified countless times. His roar and ferocious face terrified Hiruzen Sarutobi and Enma, who were present.
But strangely, apart from Orochimaru withdrawing his ninjutsu on his own, neither of them saw anything!
Even while imprisoned, Uchiha Ara maintained his original posture of crossing his arms, just as he had previously boasted, 'Give us both our hands.'
but,
Orochimaru, trapped in a hopeless situation, was completely unable to distinguish whether this was a manifestation of the Mangekyou Sharingan's mind or some kind of terrifying forbidden technique!
All he could think about was how desperately he wanted to escape this damned place!
"untie!"
At the critical moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi moved in a flash and once again used his own power to penetrate the former's body, to disrupt the opponent's chakra which was under his control.
After all, although the other party was a rebellious disciple whom he wanted to punish, in this situation, they were still on the same side.
Without this guy's assistance, Uchiha Ara would be even more difficult to deal with.
In an instant, Orochimaru was like a drowning man suddenly freed from the endless fear of the deep sea. Sweating profusely and panting heavily, he looked urgently at his right arm.
But fortunately, everything is as usual.
Nothing happened;
Nothing was applied.
Even that terrifying demon with a blue face and fangs was not in sight.
"I warned you long ago not to make eye contact with me."
"It seems you haven't remembered it yet."
Feeling the trembling, fearful, and probing gaze from Orochimaru, Ara responded verbally while a strange, sinister smile appeared on his lips.
[Illusion]
[It was just an illusion?]
[That damned Sharingan!!]
As Orochimaru gradually calmed down, he roared inwardly, his eyes shifting towards resentment.
I've always been the one teasing the prey; when have I ever seen the prey tease me multiple times?
But just as his anger and shame were rising, to the point that he forgot his urgent desire to escape, the man's suddenly cold voice rudely forced its way into his ears:
"but,"
"You don't really think the price for betraying me is just a mere illusion, do you?"
These words caused Orochimaru's barely rising anger to be suppressed once again. Looking at the wicked smile on the boy's lips, he immediately looked at his right arm.
Blood was eerily seeping from its fair skin, and as time slowly passed, the bloodstains gradually formed a clear claw mark!
"No,"
"No, it's an illusion, it's still an illusion!"
Looking at his right arm, which was gradually being soaked in blood, Orochimaru muttered to himself that he would not be deceived by the opponent's illusion for the third time!
However, the pain became increasingly real, and the extreme physical sensation felt as if an invisible force was tearing my limbs away!
"untie,"
"untie!"
"untie!!"
Its face gradually became ferocious, and the words it uttered became increasingly uneasy. However, the strange feeling inflicted upon it did not diminish in the slightest, but instead intensified!
Until, from the spot where the claw marks remained, the arm below turned into shattered blood mist and completely disappeared.
The pain of losing his arm caused Orochimaru to completely lose control of his emotions.
But what terrified him most was the purple energy that came into view!
As the caster, he knew clearly that the reason why the arm of Edo Tensei Tobirama Senju could not be restored to its original state was because the wound was emanating a purple energy that resembled a thorn in the side!
"No,"
"Will not!"
"Absolutely impossible!!"
In a near-out-of-control emotional state, it suddenly opened its mouth wide, and a white figure slowly crawled out of its esophagus and mouth, while some of its minor wounds also healed.
but!
His right arm, however, remains broken and has not healed at all!
this means,
With only one arm left, he will no longer be able to use most of the ninjutsu he once knew!
"No!"
