Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 392 The fight begins

"It seems Orochimaru-senpai doesn't understand the abilities of the Rinnegan!"

Seeing that Orochimaru seemed about to turn hostile, Toshiro quickly spoke up.

I wasn't really trying to trick him too much. After all, the Rinnegan's abilities are truly monstrous. How could I possibly get information about the other party by just one or two secret techniques?

Moreover, in the ninja world, only his family is currently willing to reveal information about the Rinnegan to Orochimaru.

He had a unique business, so he wasn't afraid that Orochimaru wouldn't take the bait.

"I imagine Orochimaru-senpai has also experienced the troublesome nature of Rinnegan. Keep in mind, the abilities he revealed were only a very small fraction of what he possessed!"

"The original owner of the Rinnegan was known as the Sage of Six Paths. Have you considered why he was called the Sage of Six Paths?"

Seeing that he had captured Orochimaru's attention, Toshiro didn't stop and continued, "The so-called Six Paths are the Deva Path, the Human Path, the Hell Path..."

"Each of them represents a completely different ability, and each one possesses unfathomable power."

"When combined, they possess an unfathomable power to bring the dead back to life."

Since he hadn't yet obtained the item, Toshiro naturally wouldn't explain the secret of the Rinnegan to Orochimaru in detail. He only gave him a general description to whet Orochimaru's appetite.

"It seems... Toshiro knows some secrets I don't!"

In Orochimaru's flickering eyes, an undisguised greed surfaced, so intense it was almost overflowing.

He knew that Toshiro might have information about the Rinnegan, but he didn't expect that the other party would know so much about it.

This piqued his curiosity. Did the other party have some source of information that he didn't know about?

"Haha! This is the advantage of a family lasting a long time."

Faced with Orochimaru's curious gaze, Toshiro chuckled and attributed his knowledge of everything to the special nature of his family.

"The Uchiha and Senju clans have a long history, and since we Uchiha are a clan that uses eye techniques, we naturally have records of the Rinnegan, which is also a type of eye technique."

"Not only us Uchiha, I believe even the Senju clan should have records about the Sage of Six Paths!"

Seemingly worried that Orochimaru wouldn't believe him, Toshiro continued:

"As far as I know, the Senju clan should have some records about the Six Paths Technique... or have related lineages."

The First Hokage later recognized Madara's method of controlling Obito at a glance and immediately mentioned the Six Paths Technique, clearly indicating that he knew about it.

"A thousand hands?!"

Upon hearing Toshiro mention the Senju, Orochimaru immediately pictured Tsunade in his mind.

Does the other family really have this kind of tradition?

"Well! None of that matters!"

After a moment's thought, Orochimaru stopped dwelling on the question and instead turned his attention to Toshiro.

"Since we last met, Toshiro has grown remarkably. I'm very curious now, just how far have you progressed!"

He had long wanted to see Toshiro's strength, but he had been ambushed by Sarutobi-sensei last time and was not at his peak. This time was the perfect opportunity.

He also heard that the other side had captured the Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails in succession on the northern border of Konoha, and even defeated the Abby duo.

He was also interested in the other party's Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Uh~"

"There's no need for that!"

There's absolutely no fun in fighting an old fox like Orochimaru.

He knew without a doubt that his opponent's methods were diverse and incredibly insidious. This was a completely different style of fighting from the Raikage.

However, Orochimaru was not one to easily change his mind. He slowly pressed his abdomen with both hands.

Then tilt your head back and straighten your neck.

sizzle!

Then came the sound of a venomous snake flicking its tongue.

"This is really... insane!"

Watching a venomous snake as thick as an arm slowly crawl out of Orochimaru's wide-open mouth, followed by the sticky, wet Kusanagi sword being spat out from the snake's mouth.

Toshiro put his hand to his forehead.

He couldn't quite accept Snake's unique aesthetic.

"Hey! Toshiro-kun, let me see if your growth over this period of time makes you worthy of taking these things from me!"

Orochimaru caught the longsword falling from the snake's mouth, twirled it a few times, and then turned to stare intently at Toshiro.

As he wielded his sword, a storm swept over Toshiro, causing the few trees around him to sway wildly.

As for Dou, who had been standing silently to the side, he had already sensed that things were not going well and had kept his distance.

"Since you insist on doing so, senior..."

Since the other party had taken the initiative to ask for a beating, Toshiro stretched his shoulders and pulled out the kunai he had used in his last battle against the Raikage from behind his back.

brush!

Having just pulled out his kunai, and before even using his bloodline limit, Toshiro instantly teleported away from where he was standing.

Just as he left, a snake's snout, several meters in diameter, sprang out from the ground and bit him.

"Your style is truly as ruthless as the legends say~"

As soon as he regained his footing, Toshiro couldn't help but start criticizing Orochimaru's fighting style, saying it was truly ruthless and cold-blooded.

They attacked without warning, and right off the bat they used a snake-based summoning technique—truly living up to their reputation.

Hehe~

"These are just appetizers!"

Controlling a giant snake to burrow underground, and then having the opponent rise from below and swallow them whole, along with the soil, is a unique skill he learned from Hanzo the Salamander.

Unfortunately, the methods were of little use to Uchiha Toshiro, who sensed the changes underground a step ahead of him.

"You'd better be careful now!"

After saying this, Orochimaru transformed into a blur and vanished from the spot.

Ding!

A crisp metallic clang rang out.

"Tsk tsk tsk! Is this Toshiro's newly developed bloodline limit? It really is as sharp as the rumors say~"

Looking at the flowing blue-green sword light in Toshiro's hand, Orochimaru clicked his tongue in admiration.

It can even block the sharpness of the Kusanagi sword in my hand; it is indeed as sharp as described in the intelligence!

"The longsword in your hand is also quite fine, senior. I happen to be lacking a suitable weapon. How about you part with it?"

Without even activating his Sharingan, he pinpointed the location of Orochimaru's attack using only his sensory abilities. He conjured a chakra sword and, with a mere flick of his wrist, blocked Orochimaru's incredibly fast thrust.

There's even time to praise the Kusanagi sword in the other person's hand.
