Chapter 481 Jiraiya

"Naruto?"

Orochimaru sneered, "The ninja era ended long ago, so what's the point of the Hokage?"

As the leader of the Fire Empire, he should actually be called the Hokage in a certain sense.

The present-day Konoha is nothing more than a place where a group of exiled fugitives have made a miserable stop, and it has long since lost its legitimacy.

but,

Even if his scheme succeeded back then, and he became the acting Hokage, then the national advisor, and finally the leader now.

Orochimaru showed no pride or complicated emotions; all he could think about was how to use the Fire Empire to create greater assets and exchange them for reward points.

"Meaningful!"

Minato Namikaze remained expressionless and solemnly stated, "Behind me are the civilians the Hokage must protect, my comrades, the Konoha ninja, my children, and my hometown!"

He did not react to Orochimaru's sneer; his conviction remained as unwavering as steel.

"Is that so?"

Orochimaru paused for a moment, then made his signature move, sticking out his tongue like a venomous snake.

It's like a snake sniffing at a suddenly appearing, unfamiliar scent.

"No wonder I lost to you back then. It's not unfair. It seems that the fool Jiraiya has taught a good disciple."

The black snake tail slapped the ground.

The undead legion, shrouded in black death energy, charged outwards.

Orochimaru looked at Minato Namikaze with a complex expression and smiled, "Truly a pure will."

Compared to the idiot Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze was much wiser.

Getting a fool to be full of passion is very simple.

All they had to do was use the Will of Fire as a slogan and promote it every day, and Jiraiya would be willing to sacrifice himself for it like a fanatical believer.

But it's rare for someone as intelligent as Minato Namikaze to be willing to believe in the Will of Fire.

Most intelligent people,

They would all be like Orochimaru and Aizen, completely rejecting outsiders and only believing in themselves.

Even Orochimaru wouldn't underestimate Minato Namikaze just because he's currently weaker than him, given that Minato possesses both wisdom and pure will.

"This farce should end!"

Minato Namikaze remained motionless, but his voice rang out from the seven inches behind the Necromancer's spine.

Snapped.

Orochimaru's snake tail swung, tearing the figure in two, only to find it was just an afterimage.

The snake scales shattered.

The black blood, imbued with a dense aura of death, burst forth like fireworks.

"How is that possible?!"

A ghoul phantom formed from the aura of the dead appeared, its decaying arms sweeping across and smashing through Minato Namikaze, who was lying on the back of the necromancer.

Orochimaru's eyes widened in shock.

Has the [Necromancer's Eye Lv.max] stopped working?

After the undead legion appeared, a massive amount of undead aura spread throughout the residential area like mist, and within the mist, black eyeballs vaguely gathered.

It can detect the enemy's movements from every angle.

Therefore, even though he heard Minato Namikaze's voice coming from behind, Orochimaru still confidently attacked the afterimage.

Because he failed to detect the other party's movement trajectory.

Even the fluctuations of spatial skills cannot be hidden from a max-level Necromancer's Eye.

"Orochimaru, if you leave now..."

Before Minato Namikaze could finish speaking, his afterimage was shattered by the ghoul's hard arm.

Another snake scale exploded.

and,

Orochimaru keenly sensed that the wound was covered by poisonous energy, which ignored the necromancy and continued to reduce his own life points.

"Is that so?"

Orochimaru flicked his tail, inserted it into the wound where the snake scales had been removed, and then put the blood, stained with deadly poison, into his mouth.

【The Ghost Assassin】.

A very rare profession; after mastering the abilities of the Netherworld Assassin, one can step into the [Netherworld Space].

A special space that overlaps with the real world, but is silent and devoid of any life.

Apart from the Netherworld Assassins, even the most advanced perception techniques cannot detect the existence of the Netherworld Space.

The Netherworld Assassin is an assassin whose stealth, assassination, and critical strike abilities are all maximized.

A nightmare for countless magic-based and squishy classes!

"I once encountered a ghostly assassin. I originally intended to turn him into my undead life form, but he escaped. I never expected to run into him again."

His tone couldn't hide his excitement.

As it spoke, the Necromancer opened its gaping maw, like a python hunting, and swallowed the coiled rock tombstone.

A thick layer of lifeless rock appeared on the snake scales.

Each snake scale has a small tombstone protruding from it, protecting the snake's body like armor.

"Then let's see if you have the ability to do it, you rogue ninja, Orochimaru!"

Minato Namikaze spoke seriously. Just from the aura Orochimaru exuded, he knew very well that Orochimaru was getting serious.

Although the Netherworld Assassin possesses powerful abilities, he lacks any skills that can surpass the limits of lethality.

Furthermore, what they fear most are players like Orochimaru, who possess powerful defensive capabilities.

Clang!

A short knife, about the width of a palm, was used to stab the necromancer's weakest point, its abdomen.

But it made a metallic clanging sound.

Minato Namikaze's hands, gripping the hilt of his sword, went numb from the shock. He gritted his teeth, and bursts of ghostly energy erupted from his body.

Netherworld Blade Dance!

A dark green light clung to the blade; it was a deadly poison that could even kill a tailed beast.

The necromantic black energy was rapidly corroded by the netherworld poison, and it was about to shatter the snake scales and release the poison into the flesh.

The two ghouls bit off his left arm, which, like a sharp spear, was thrown at Minato Namikaze.

Back off,

Minato Namikaze had no choice but to abandon his attack and retreat into the Netherworld to increase the distance between himself and the Necromancer Serpent.

"Watergate!"

Tsunade was enveloped in holy light, her golden hammer and chains relentlessly sweeping away the charging undead legion.

She smashed the Ice Bodhisattva summoned by the Necromancer [Child Demon] with two hammer blows, shattering both Child Demon and Ice Bodhisattva.

Taking advantage of the gap,

A sacred cross materialized in his palm and shot into Minato Namikaze's chest.

The child demon, who had been smashed into a pulp, was protected by countless undead life forms and, enveloped in the aura of the dead, visibly recovered to its original state.

"Orochimaru, I can't believe you dare come to Konoha!"

A furious shout suddenly rang out.

The mobile force that had already breached the Abyss's Deep Layer finally received news from Konoha.

Because he had been specifically instructed to conceal the news of Hiruzen Sarutobi's death to avoid Naruto Uzumaki acting impulsively and going berserk.

Therefore, even Jiraiya was unaware of the situation, only knowing that there was an attack from an external enemy.

When they arrived at the village after finding an excuse to send Naruto away, as Tsunade had instructed, they discovered that the person who attacked the village was Orochimaru.

"Old grudges, new ones, Orochimaru, do you want to die?"

Jiraiya clasped his hands together, interlocking his fingers, and an orange-yellow prophet's eyeball appeared between his eyebrows.

Several illusory arms appeared behind them, grabbing the elemental energy that was floating in space and time.

In the blink of an eye,

A violently erupting volcano appeared beneath the feet of the Necromancer, unleashing a torrent of fiery energy like an explosion.

The countless hot springs in the Land of Hot Springs are all volcanoes at their bottoms, containing rich fire element energy.

The greatest skill of the Prophet is to perceive the various attributes within the space, strengthen them, and transform them into their own combat power.

In layman's terms, it means taking advantage of the right time and place.

"You idiot Jiraiya, you said you wanted to kill me, is this all you've got?"

The charred black necromancer raised its head and smashed the volcano summoned by Jiraiya.

Like shedding its skin, it sheds the scorched and broken snake scales.

"He's that strong?"

The Konoha ninjas around them, who could barely unleash ninjutsu and magic skills and couldn't even achieve a harassing effect, all showed expressions of shock.

Even with the Fourth Hokage and Jiraiya's combined efforts, they were unable to inflict serious damage on Orochimaru.

"Necromancers are all fragile, how come the rogue ninja Orochimaru is so tough?"
