Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 495 Saving the Day

Orochimaru, with a human head and a snake's body, has a head that resembles both a human and a snake.

Within that eerie, gaping mouth, rows of triangular teeth gleamed with a chilling luster.

In the center of the large mouth, there is a pink, blood vessel-like cavity from which mist of unknown composition is ejected.

Poison gas is being released.

This is the form he used to perform the Reincarnation of the Undead, and it is now being used by him.

"The Rinnegan is mine!"

With no time to spare, the Four Symbols Seal was about to lose its effectiveness, and Orochimaru lunged at Nagato's head.

They planned to bite Nagato's head off directly.

With Obito still having White Zetsu, it was impossible for him to take any further action at this point.

Small white snakes fell off the snake's body and blocked their way, leaving them helpless.

"Orochimaru, how dare you!"

From afar, a frantic and angry female voice could be heard.

Along with the female voice came a wheel-shaped weapon made of white paper, which sliced ​​towards Orochimaru's head.

It's Xiao Nan.

Two white wings on her shoulders carried her here at top speed.

But the sight she saw made her hands and feet go cold.

"hey-hey!"

In response to Konan's attack, Orochimaru shed numerous small white snakes from his body, which twisted and wriggled in front of him, forming a small snake mountain.

Trying to block the opponent's attack.

boom!

Unfortunately.

How could Konan's attack not have detonating tags?

Fortunately, because Nagato was nearby, Konan used very few explosive tags.

They barely managed to blast open the Snake Mountain that was blocking their way.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the attack so close at hand.

Orochimaru was clearly annoyed.

First, a new member of the organization used unknown methods to help Nagato evade his attacks.

Then came Zetsu, the former intelligence agent, who used Wood Release to stop him once again.

Now it's Xiao Nan again.

As the seal was about to break and he still hadn't obtained the Rinnegan, Orochimaru's body began to swell violently.

"The Eight-Headed Serpent Technique"

At this point, he had no choice but to reveal his trump card.

As for Konan's attacks, they were no different from tickling him in the face of his Eight-Headed Serpent Technique.

"Nagato, you..."

With a flap of her wings, Konan stood in front of Nagato, looking anxiously at the eight-headed serpent opposite her.

She knew that with her strength, it would be difficult to protect Nagato while also stopping Orochimaru on the other side.

With her arrival, Obito and Zetsu also stood in front of Nagato.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Orochimaru was extremely unfriendly.

Hiss!

In response, they were met with the hissing of snakes.

Four white snake heads stretched forward, biting at Konan, Obito, Zetsu, and Nagato respectively.

They seemed determined to achieve their goal at all costs.

"Oh no, it's snake venom!"

Just as Obito was about to make his move, his body suddenly swayed, and he seemed unable to even stand steadily.

Not only him, but White Zetsu next to him also reacted, feeling that the flow of chakra in his body was becoming more difficult.

The only one in slightly better condition was Xiao Nan, who had just arrived.

As for Nagato...

He was the most severely poisoned person among everyone present.

Orochimaru's tongue can be used not only to bind people, but the wet, sticky fluid on it also evaporates when it comes into contact with air.

This slowed down the process of him, the person involved, from lifting the seal.

"burst!"

Turning around, disregarding the danger, Konan ripped the tongue off Nagato's neck.

He let out a low shout, and then the wings on his back spread out, enveloping her and Nagato.

Boom!

Just as Konan and Nagato were about to be bitten by the snake, the wheel-shaped ring weapon that Konan had used to block Orochimaru suddenly exploded.

It turns out that her weapon, made of blank paper, was actually made of explosive tags.

At this crucial moment, they blocked Orochimaru once again.

puff!

This explosion was insignificant to Orochimaru's current size, but it was a different story for Konan, who was holding Nagato, and for Obito and Zetsu nearby.

In order to better protect Nagato, Konan suffered a severe impact to her entire back, and a mouthful of blood spurted onto Nagato's face.

His spirits immediately waned, and his face turned as pale as paper.

As for Obito, he was naturally unharmed.

Even Jue was only somewhat disheveled.

Just then, a gloating voice rang out.

"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!"

"Who is it that's causing such a commotion?"

His Hokage robes were a little disheveled, but that didn't stop Toshiro from appreciating the infighting among the Akatsuki members.

"Looks like this harvest will be quite substantial!"

The gains he referred to were not Orochimaru's gains, but his own.

Look at all these people.

Orochimaru, a rogue ninja from Konoha, one of the founders of the illegal organization Akatsuki, and the executor and promoter of the Eye of the Moon Plan.

As the Hokage, he was naturally at odds with these people.

If we could capture them all in one fell swoop, wouldn't the world be at peace?

His gaze swept over everyone, with Toshiro paying particular attention to Zetsu.

"This is bad!"

Black Zetsu's heart pounded wildly as he was stared at by Toshiro.

He didn't know if the other person had discovered something.

However... for a thousand years, he has been hiding in the shadows, silently instigating the conflict between the Uchiha and Senju clans, which makes him extremely sensitive to certain conspiracies and tricks.

The moment Toshiro's gaze fell upon him, he sensed a dangerous aura.

He quickly controlled his body and moved towards the trees next to him.

What's wrong with this guy?

Did you just see me and decide to run away?

Watching Zetsu slowly blend into the surrounding trees, Toshiro tightened his grip on the Kusanagi sword and squinted at his opponent.

I started to think about it.

Does this guy have any other clones or anything like that?

As for Nagato, Obito, and Orochimaru on the other side, he had already automatically ignored them.

"We haven't even congratulated Toshiro on becoming the Fifth Hokage yet!"

A white snake raised its head and opened its mouth wide. An unidentified object wriggled a few times, revealing Orochimaru's figure.

However… thankfully, it was Orochimaru wearing clothes.

"I never expected that Sarutobi-sensei would make you Hokage. That's quite a surprise!"

"Speaking of which, I haven't sent a congratulatory gift yet."

"What does the Hokage think of these two Rinnegan?"

Although he said he would give the Rinnegan to Toshiro as a congratulatory gift, Orochimaru's eyes were filled with apprehension when he looked at Toshiro.

This was merely a test to gauge Toshiro's attitude.

"Rinnegan..."

Turning his attention to Orochimaru, Toshiro dismissed Orochimaru's suggestion as utter nonsense.

If he had obtained Nagato's Rinnegan, how could this guy possibly give it to him?

"No need, Orochimaru-senpai has already given a congratulatory gift."

As he spoke, Toshiro brandished the Kusanagi sword in his hand.

"Speaking of which, I owe a great deal to Orochimaru-senpai's help in becoming Hokage!"

That's true. If it weren't for the Impure World Reincarnation technique obtained from Orochimaru, the Third Hokage wouldn't have been able to abdicate.

We still need to play at least one match.

"I never expected that ninjutsu could summon the First and Second Hokage to help me."

There was a hint of regret in Snake's tone.

"If I had developed that ninjutsu more thoroughly earlier, we wouldn't have had so much trouble this time!"

In recent years, he has focused his energy on perfecting his Reanimation Jutsu, and has not yet had time to upgrade the Impure World Reanimation Jutsu.

Otherwise, with the assistance of the First or Second Hokage, the attack on Nagato would have been much smoother.

Furthermore, although he felt some regret, he had to admit that he had used Toshiro to distract Nagato this time.

Then, the plan to ambush the opponent's main body and seize the Rinnegan may fall through.

He hadn't expected that even with Toshiro depleting the opponent's chakra, there was still energy left.

However, Nagato's chakra was still so abundant that he still had the power to resist even after being hit by the Four Symbols Seal.

And... that new member's ninjutsu is so strange.

And then there's Jutsu. I always thought he was just an intelligence agent, but this time he actually used Wood Release.

It seems... the organization has more secrets than I imagined!

"Xiao Nan..."

Feeling the warmth brushing against his face, and looking at Xiao Nan, who was swaying precariously but still holding him tightly in her arms.

Nagato, who had already broken the seal of the Four Symbols, had a pair of pale purple Rinnegan eyes that almost popped out of their sockets.

The expression on his face was like that of a demon crawling out of hell, ferocious and terrifying.

"Orochimaru...you deserve to die!"

Nagato uttered these words slowly and deliberately, then wrapped his arms around Konan, his cold gaze fixed on Orochimaru beside him.

Not only that, it seems that because of excessive emotional excitement, or for some other reason.

Nagato, with a terrifying expression, seemed to have suddenly developed asthma or respiratory spasms, and his breathing became increasingly rapid.

My body was also twitching.

"Chance!"

Seeing this, Orochimaru didn't know why Nagato was acting this way, but he didn't intend to let this opening slip by.

Even if he might have to compete with Uchiha Toshiro for the Rinnegan later, the prerequisite is to get the Rinnegan off Nagato.

boom!

With Orochimaru's control, the enormous eight-headed serpent charged towards Nagato.

And he himself did not stop.

Holding a new Kusanagi sword, he was ready to act at any moment.

"roll!"

Although Nagato's body was not in good condition, he had six Pain bodies that he could control at will.

Especially the Heavenly Way.

It spread its arms wide, unleashing a terrifying force field that sent the entire Yamata no Orochi flying far away.

Then he glanced at Toshiro.

"Holy crap, they're about to unleash a killer move!"

Although it was just a corpse, the anger, lingering fear, and murderous intent it conveyed still reached Toshiro.
