Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Why was Orochimaru so easily defeated by Itachi?

First, Orochimaru's soul is unstable because he possesses other people's bodies through the Reanimation Jutsu.

The soul of the person he possesses is not devoured by him, but rather suppressed by his spirit.

This meant that Orochimaru had to expend some of his mental energy to suppress the original owner's soul.

Secondly, the Sharingan is incredibly powerful.

Orochimaru's genjutsu (illusionary power) score is perfect; he also knows genjutsu, and ordinary genjutsu is ineffective against him.

However, the genjutsu enhanced by the Sharingan is no ordinary genjutsu.

At that time, Itachi's eyes were already Mangekyou Sharingan. The Kaguya Technique was not a genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan level, but with the enhancement of Itachi's enormous ocular power, it was more powerful than ordinary genjutsu.

The third is the fault tolerance rate.

The ninja world is not a world of immortal cultivation. Masters must fight for three days and three nights, causing the Great Dao to collapse, in order to demonstrate their strength.

Being a ninja is a profession with a very low margin for error; often, a single oversight can determine the outcome of a battle.

For example, in the original manga, Konohamaru defeated Nagato's Hell Path with a single Rasengan.

Konohamaru's ninja stats are far inferior to Hell Path's. If there really is a level suppression, then Konohamaru is a Qi Refining junior, while Hell Path is a Core Formation expert.

Once a Core Formation expert unleashes their aura, even a Qi Refining junior will immediately kneel down and beg for mercy.

Unfortunately, the ninja world doesn't have a hierarchy system. The terms "genin" and "jonin" are just professional ranks, not combat power levels.

Konohamaru could easily defeat Hell Path by seizing upon a moment of carelessness.

Orochimaru hadn't fought many members of the Uchiha clan, so he assumed Itachi's Sharingan was at the same level as the Uchiha.

In the original story, when Orochimaru defected, he scared Kakashi, who possessed the Sharingan, to death with just one look, showing that he underestimated the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

Caught off guard, Orochimaru was helpless after just one glance at him.

Orochimaru is an all-rounder, skilled in ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, summoning, cursed seals, summoning others...

But the illusion bypassed all of that and attacked his mind directly, so he was instantly killed.

The situation where they are facing Orochimaru is not the same as in the anime.

Orochimaru has only transformed his soul into a white-scaled serpent so far; he has not yet used the Reanimation Jutsu.

Furthermore, due to the White Zetsu cells implanted in his body, Orochimaru's physical abilities were enhanced, and his resistance to illusions was also increased.

However, Liao Wu's Sharingan is not an ordinary Sharingan, because it is a fusion of Madara's cells.

Liao Wu received Madara's powerful Yin Release enhancement, and his Sharingan reverted to Indra's Sharingan, allowing him to activate Susanoo with just three tomoe.

The illusion he cast was infused with spiritual energy no less than that of a kaleidoscope illusion.

It seemed like he could defeat Orochimaru in an instant, but in reality, half of his Sharingan's chakra reserves were already depleted.

While fighting Satoru, Tobirama also kept Orochimaru in mind. Seeing Orochimaru being instantly defeated by Ryou's Sharingan, he snapped, "Orochimaru, do you have no memory?"

During his previous battle with Ryogoku, Tobirama never made eye contact with Ryogoku's Sharingan; even when he did look at him, it was out of caution.

Having fought Madara and Izuna their entire lives, avoiding eye contact with Sharingan had become an instinct for Tobirama.

But Orochimaru doesn't have this instinct; Madara didn't have eyes when he fought him before.

Therefore, Orochimaru has not fully realized that when fighting Sharingan users, you must never look directly into their Sharingan.

Tobirama threw a Flying Thunder God kunai at Orochimaru, knocking Satoru away, and then used the Flying Thunder God to teleport next to Orochimaru.

Liao Wu roared, "Thousand-Handed Demon, don't even think about succeeding!"

Liao Wu formed hand seals: "Wood Release: Thorn Killing Technique!"

Suddenly, vine-like wood sprouted from the area where Manda was located, instantly binding Manda's body. It then frantically coiled around Manda's body and attacked Tobirama and Orochimaru along the head area.

"Wood Release?!"

Tobirama's face was grim, even though he had learned from Orochimaru that Ryougo possessed Wood Release.

But he was still very unhappy to witness his elder brother's power being unleashed by Liao Wu.

This is the power of the Senju clan, but the Senju clan did not inherit it; instead, it was stolen by their rivals, the Uchiha.

It's like the girl you like being bullied by your enemy.

Tobirama grabbed Orochimaru's shoulder and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to this location.

As he left, he snarled at Liao Wu, "You inherently evil Uchiha brat, just you wait, I'll get you sooner or later!"

"The Thousand-Handed Demon, you've fled in disarray! Hahaha..."

"You brat—"

Tobirama cursed angrily, then took Orochimaru and fled using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

In fact, Tobirama and Orochimaru came to measure Ryou's strength.

But Tobirama didn't expect Orochimaru to be so weak; he was defeated in an instant by just one glare from him.

However, Tobirama also verified the information Orochimaru provided.

Orochimaru's information was accurate; only Madara or Hashirama could defeat him at this point.

The Sharingan can activate Susanoo, possesses powerful genjutsu, has Wood Release, and can be used with the assistance of tailed beasts to cast Magnet Release...

There is also a patriarch-level spirit beast—Wu.

It's true that Tobirama couldn't see through Satoru's thoughts, but Satoru also possessed stats no less than those of a Tailed Beast.

Without relying on malicious perception, the ability to absolutely dodge, and relying solely on pure flight skills, made Tobirama somewhat overwhelmed.

Liao Wu is not someone that Tobirama and Orochimaru can handle. Once my older brother has finished his training, we'll teach him a lesson.

After Tobirama and Orochimaru left, only Manda, the monsters they left behind, remained in the same spot.

At this moment, Manda was controlled by Liao Wu's Sharingan and Wood Release, becoming meat on his chopping board.

Liao Wu, carrying the candy, jumped onto the head of the ten thousand snakes and then controlled it to swim deeper into the Dragon Cave.

There are also arrangements for Wan She Liao Wu; it will be controlled by Liao Wu for the rest of its life until it dies.

Liao Wu broke down a life spore from his body and then implanted it into the head of Wan She.

Both Wanshe and Wu belong to the evil class, and Liaowu is the one with the least psychological burden when dealing with such evil beings.

Before long, the illusion energy in the brain nerves of the giant snake was exhausted.

Wanshe regained consciousness and immediately realized its situation, sensing that Liaowu and Wu were still on its head.

"Uchiha Ryouu?! Where's Orochimaru? Where did he go?"

Liao Wu didn't speak.

Candy told Manda, "Manda, Orochimaru has sold you out. From now on, you will be my master's slave snake."

"What?!"

Manda roared in fury: "That son of a bitch Orochimaru dared to betray me? He's got a death wish!"

Manda then thought to himself, "Liao Wu is powerful enough to easily defeat Orochimaru and Tobirama, so this is not a bad deal."

It had long wanted to find a more powerful owner.

Manda arrogantly said to Liaowu, "Uchiha brat, I'll be your summoning beast, but just prepare 100 living people for me every time you call me out."

"Anyway, your Uchiha clan are all evil people. You and Madara are hated by everyone in the ninja world. Human lives are just consumables to you."

Wu suppressed a laugh. It remembered that it had made the same conditions to Liao Wu, asking Liao Wu to provide it with offerings so that it could torture Liao Wu and gain negative energy.

But he was so shocked by Liao Wu's electric shock that he almost had his plasmolysis break down, and now he's been trained like a dog by Liao Wu.

Wu was very much looking forward to seeing what kind of torment Manda would suffer.

This perfectly matches Wu's expectations; Wanshe acted as soon as he proposed the conditions.

"Lightning Release: Chidori Stream!"

It was as if a thousand birds were chirping all over Liao Wu's body, which was covered with sharp electric currents formed by lightning-attribute chakra.

Under the immense chakra supply of Liao Wu, electricity surged through Manda's body like a thunder dragon.

"Ahhhhh—"

The snake was immediately electrocuted and howled loudly.

Liao Wu also shouted for Candy and Shouhe to fight together.

Candy unleashed Lightning Release, Shukaku frantically kneaded sand, and Satoru flew up, devouring the massive amount of negative emotions Manda had generated from its torment.

Manda was tormented to the point of convulsions, his body twisting wildly, his scales crackling and popping in the cave of Ryuchi-dō.

It emitted a sharp, hoarse hiss, a sound that sent chills down the spines of even the large snakes in the dark caves, who fled the area.
