I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 601 Arresting Black Zetsu!

The moment Nara Rinka's voice rang in Orochimaru's ears like a thunderclap.

Orochimaru felt a chill run down his spine.

escape!

Escape as fast as you can!

The thought of "escaping" filled Orochimaru's mind, causing his ears to ring.

It was as if he had experienced what is known as "auditory hallucination" due to extreme fright.

Orochimaru hadn't felt this kind of profound fear in countless years.

But there is no way.

Madara Uchiha is a prime example.

Orochimaru doesn't want to repeat the same mistake.

Besides, he had tried it before.

To fight against Nara Rinka with a healthy, fully fit body.

However, the opponent dealt with him as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

The scariest thing is...

After witnessing firsthand how Madara Uchiha was defeated.

Orochimaru suddenly realized that Nara Rin had deliberately concealed most of his strength during their battle!

This is very painful.

Since we can't beat them.

Then let's run away!

Orochimaru, suffering from severe auditory hallucinations, didn't even hear what Nara Ranka said before trying to leave immediately.

However, a sudden suppressive force hindered Orochimaru's actions.

"It's the Nara clan's shadow technique again!"

Orochimaru, who couldn't move even a single finger, immediately realized the problem.

Nara Rinka has already stepped into Orochimaru's shadow, so naturally he won't forget his family's [Shadow Technique].

Even now, what appears behind Orochimaru is merely an ordinary shadow clone.

However, the Shadow Clone is also the best user of the Shadow Technique!

This was done intentionally to deliberately let the enemy out of the way, and also to protect the other Black Zetsu who had never shown himself.

Nara Rinkachi stealthily approached using the [Shadow Invisibility Technique].

They deliberately avoided using brutal methods like the Shadow Manipulation Technique.

He was afraid that if he killed Orochimaru too quickly, Black Zetsu would break free.

Assuming that Madara Uchiha's problem is temporarily resolved.

Compared to Orochimaru.

Nara Ranka prioritizes Black Zetsu more.

and so.

Nara Rinka is currently using only the "ordinary" Shadow Slap Technique.

An ordinary A-level secret technique.

But who can blame Orochimaru for becoming a completely timid and easily frightened bird?

He had even used the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique, but Nara Rinka easily defeated him, and his soul was almost sealed away.

Orochimaru is now under the control of Nara Rinka.

He was genuinely terrified that Nara Rinka might use some unknown sealing technique again.

Therefore, upon realizing that his mobility was limited, Orochimaru immediately activated the "Astral Projection" technique without hesitation.

That is, the art of spiritualization!

Just now, when Nara Rankei used the [Shadow Binding Technique] to control me.

Orochimaru also used the [Spirit Transformation Technique] to escape.

Orochimaru has studied the Reanimation Jutsu for many years, and his research on the Spirit Transformation Jutsu is also very in-depth.

Even with his physical limitations, Orochimaru still managed to use the [Spiritual Transformation Technique] to escape directly back to his core research base.

But this time...

Orochimaru didn't have any spare bodies.

In order to settle a duel with Nara Rinka (and Tsunade).

Orochimaru meticulously prepared a "self-clone"—

A super-superior clone that simultaneously combines its own cells, interstitial cells, and white blood cells.

Not only that.

Orochimaru also had a "backup clone" on hand.

at the moment.

Both the "clone" and the "backup clone" have been discarded by Orochimaru.

After releasing the [Spirit Transformation Technique].

Orochimaru almost instinctively returned to his original body.

That is, a pair of mutilated bodies that have lost their hands!

This body was not destroyed by Orochimaru, but was carefully preserved in the core laboratory.

It's working perfectly now.

Nara Rinka observed carefully and clearly sensed that Orochimaru in front of him had suddenly lost his life force.

It was like a scene from just now repeating itself.

He instantly realized that Orochimaru had "shed his skin" once again!

but.

This also perfectly aligns with Nara's plan to acquire the laurel.

In the underground laboratory of the Land of Fields.

Orochimaru's soul revived in his true body.

It leaps directly out of the specially made petri dish.

Ignoring the special nutrient solution covering his body, Orochimaru planned to escape by burrowing underground.

The Land of Fields is no longer safe!

Let's run away right now!

As for the previous "Kikyo Castle Duel" and such...

Let's just wait patiently for a while.

That guy, Nara Ranka, is practically a monster!

Orochimaru made his decision.

When we challenge each other again.

He must create enough clones and then fill each clone's body with Sage Chakra.

Also.

Madara Uchiha alone doesn't seem to be enough.

Let's find more people to go together!

It turns out.

Edo Tensei Madara was no match for Nara Rinka.

So...

What about the duo of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha?

What about a four-person group consisting of Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Madara Uchiha, and Izuna Uchiha?

Or perhaps we could call up all five Kage from different eras together?

Let's all challenge Nara to a duel and claim the crown!

In a very short time.

Orochimaru's mind was filled with a multitude of wicked thoughts.

Just then.

A very familiar figure appeared in the underground laboratory.

Orochimaru!

Black Zetsu sized up Orochimaru, who was soaked to the bone.

Your plan has failed!

To be fair...

Black Zetsu was still very disappointed.

Although Orochimaru's previous challenge had also been accepted by Black Zetsu.

However, Black Zetsu never expected that the plan would fail and go bankrupt before it could even be implemented!

It had originally planned to use Orochimaru's challenge to Nara as an opportunity to search for traces of the Rinnegan in Konoha...

result……

Even Uchiha Madara, after being resurrected with the Rinnegan, was no match for Nara Ranke.

The previous plan has completely failed...

"Black Zetsu!"

Orochimaru glanced at Black Zetsu briefly, his tone extremely impatient.

"We can talk about it another time!"

Just now, Nara Ranke appeared outside and fought Orochimaru and Uchiha Madara for so long.

As a result, Black Zetsu never appeared; not even a shadow of him could be seen.

This guy...

He's just a rat in the gutter!

Orochimaru believed he had almost completely squeezed Black Zetsu's value out of him.

If I get the chance later, I'll just take them out!

A fierce glint flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.

"Orochimaru, you—"

Black Zetsu was about to say something else.

Suddenly.

Shadow Blade!

There were no warning signs whatsoever.

Nara Ranka's figure appeared in the underground laboratory, next to a pair of charred, severed arms.

"It's really lively."

Nara Rinkazu looked at Orochimaru and Black Zetsu, who were also in the laboratory, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

This time.

Nara Rinkazu did not hesitate at all and immediately locked onto the real target—

"Kaguya's son!"

Black Zetsu originally intended to immediately burrow underground and escape the moment he noticed Nara Rinka emerging.

Orochimaru has a psychological trauma related to Nara Rinka.

Black Zetsu is also available!

however.

Nara Lan Gui's words directly attracted Black Zetsu's attention.

Because the other person brought up "Kaguya"!

"What are you doing—huh?!"

Hei Jueqing couldn't help but respond.

However, before he could finish speaking, a huge bottle opening suddenly appeared at him.

【Amber Cleansing Bottle】!

According to legend, these are the ninja tools of the Sage of Six Paths.

Once it responds to the holder's message, it will be sealed inside the bottle!

To deal with Black Zetsu.

Nara Rinka thought long and hard, but could only come up with one solution.

As the ancients said.

We must use magic to fight magic.

and so.

We must use the Otsutsuki to deal with the Otsutsuki!

Nara's various methods were of little use against a "Black Zetsu of the Otsutsuki".

However, the ninja tools made by the Sage of Six Paths can be effective!

The Amber Vase is presented.

The moment Black Zetsu replied.

They were then drawn in by an immense force.

Black Zetsu, arrest successful!
