I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 110 Yagyu's Intervention, Sasuke Uchiha's Defeat

"Um?"

As Yagyu carried the unconscious Hinata out of the bathroom, he had just placed her on the bed and covered her with a blanket when he raised an eyebrow slightly.

The reason was that the wood clone responsible for monitoring Orochimaru and Sasuke Uchiha was transmitting intelligence to him in real time.

After processing the information flooding his mind, Yagyu murmured, "It's actually this early?"

However, Yagyu was already mentally prepared.

His arrival and rise to power are destined to trigger all sorts of butterfly effects.

At first, not leaving Konoha might not have had much impact on the ninja world.

But as Yagyu has become Konoha's ace fighter, he has changed far too much of history in the past few years.

The more you interfere, the more butterfly effects you create; that's normal.

Having received a year of training from the Hundred Faces and nearly three years of guidance from Orochimaru, it's normal for Sasuke Uchiha to choose to rebel against Orochimaru ahead of time.

There was no need to watch this battle; Yagyu already knew that Uchiha Sasuke was destined to win.

Even if Orochimaru retrieved the souls from his hands ahead of time, he still couldn't possess Sasuke Uchiha's body.

To reiterate, there is a dimensional gap between Kage-level and Super Kage-level, and a dimensional chasm between Super Kage-level and Six Paths-level.

Orochimaru hasn't even reached the pinnacle of the Five Kage, so how could he possibly be able to use the Sage of Six Paths's backup plan?

Losing to Uchiha Sasuke would be fine, but if he had actually succeeded in possessing someone, he would probably have seen a white-haired old man floating in the air the next second, his soul scattered by the Truth-Seeking Balls that Sasuke could use in both the spiritual space and the world of the dead.

Although he knew Orochimaru would definitely fail, Yagyu did not use a wood clone to watch the live broadcast. Instead, he formed a hand seal with one hand, and a tree branch extended from his body, quickly turning into a wood clone.

Then the body disappeared into thin air without any warning, without even a "whoosh" or "whoosh" sound.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"

"Spirit Summoning Technique: Triple Rashomon!"

"Combined Ninjutsu: Flame Wind Chaos!"

Rumble...

On a certain grassland in the Land of Fields, a sea of ​​fire is currently raging everywhere.

Moreover, the flames within the inferno possess not only the ferocity amplified by a hurricane, but also the power of an explosion.

The defensive barrier, severely damaged from withstanding the lightning spear, was shattered by the roaring wave of fire, which also engulfed Orochimaru, whose pupils were constricted, behind the barrier.

After the fire subsided, vast grasslands had turned into scorched earth, radiating terrifyingly high temperatures.

Beneath the rubble, shattered by the flames and glowing red like burning bricks, lay a charred corpse.

"vomit……"

A few seconds later, the charred corpse, without supporting itself with its hands, straightened its upper body like a snake, let out a dry heave, and was about to shed its skin and expel a new body.

boom--

Just then, a deafening clap of thunder rang out from the sky.

A massive bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, engulfing the charred corpse that had just expelled half its body, and blasting a bottomless hole in the scorched ground.

The chakra within the sea of ​​fire, along with the intense heat, surged skyward, turning the clear sky completely black.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sasuke Uchiha used the Lightning Release: Kirin, which he had perfected over the past two years, and directly hit Orochimaru, who was in a stunned state.

From beginning to end, Orochimaru was no match for Sasuke Uchiha.

Having received the selfless teachings of the Hundred Faces, Sasuke Uchiha is now far stronger than in the original story.

Not only did he master Wind Release: Nature Transformation, but he also learned Composite Ninjutsu, as well as a large number of Fire Release and Lightning Release techniques.

With the addition of Chidori Stream and Lightning Release: Kirin, which he developed himself, Uchiha Sasuke now has no shortage of close-combat, ranged, and defensive techniques.

However, compared to the original work, Sasuke Uchiha's greatest growth was not in these Five Elements Release techniques, but in genjutsu, which was many times more powerful than in the original work.

Bai Zhao taught almost all of the genjutsu he knew to Uchiha Sasuke.

Some belong to Kurenai Yuhi, some to the Sound Village and the Kurama clan, and others to genjutsu scrolls from the Leaf Village's forbidden jutsu library.

Under the care of Hyakko, Uchiha Sasuke has developed the genjutsu and hypnotic abilities of his three-tomoe Sharingan to their fullest potential.

Even if Orochimaru hadn't lost his hands, he would still be far from being a match for Sasuke Uchiha.

The fact that he wasn't instantly defeated by Sasuke Uchiha's gaze shows that he learned his lesson from Itachi Uchiha and the Hundred Faces.

There has been some growth, but not much.

After using Lightning Release: Kirin to blast Orochimaru into the ground, Sasuke Uchiha, who had already entered Cursed Seal 2 state, came to the edge of the huge pit, his three-tomoe Sharingan looking down into the bottomless abyss.

whoosh-

Just as Uchiha Sasuke was staring directly into the Abyss, the Abyss was also staring directly into him.

A piercing sound suddenly rang out, and a huge white phosphorescent serpent shot out from the dark cave like an arrow.

Its gaping maw could swallow Uchiha Sasuke whole in one gulp.

However, Sasuke Uchiha simply took a step back without panicking, dodging the White Phosphorus Serpent's attack. His Kusanagi sword transformed into a blue-white laser sword, which suddenly extended and pierced through the White Phosphorus Serpent's body, hitting it precisely at its seven-inch mark, demonstrating his astonishing accuracy.

Just as Sasuke Uchiha was about to pull the White Phosphorus Serpent in half, his expression suddenly changed.

The Thousand Bird Spear that had been extended from the transformed form retracted automatically, and the second state of the cursed seal on his body was also returning to normal at an extremely fast speed.

He could barely move his head and looked down at his feet.

Green vines, which had grown out of the scorched earth at some unknown time, wrapped around Uchiha Sasuke's feet like snakes.

He lost control of his body, and his chakra was rapidly draining away.

"Sasuke, show mercy."

Three years have passed, and his voice has matured a lot, but it is still that familiar voice, slowly entering Uchiha Sasuke's ears.

"Yagyu."

As Sasuke Uchiha uttered the name of the person who spoke, his eyes were filled with disbelief, as well as deep resentment and frustration.

He thought that after three years, he had closed the gap with Yagyu, or even surpassed him.

After all, the other party only possessed the existing S-rank Water Release technique, while he himself had developed the S-rank Lightning Release technique.

But to his surprise, three years later, the gap between him and Liu Sheng not only did not narrow, but he was left further and further behind.

Feeling the loss of most of his chakra and his immobile body, Uchiha Sasuke looked at the green plants that had grown from vines to branches, now covering his upper body, and his eyes changed from his three-tomoe Sharingan back to ordinary black eyes.

Is this the legendary Bloodline Limit: Wood Release?

Did Madara Uchiha, the ancestor of the Uchiha clan, feel this way when he faced the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju?

Sasuke Uchiha thought to himself.
