Konoha: The Innately Evil Uchiha

Chapter 70 Orochimaru is Sealed (Please continue reading!)

"Jiraiya!!!"

Tsunade's pupils trembled, and tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.

Overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness, Tsunade reached out and pressed down on Shizune's shoulder, lowered her head, her long golden hair obscuring her face, bit her lip, and slowly squatted down.

She had imagined all sorts of scenarios.

After Jiraiya collapsed, covered in blood, he needed to be rescued by his current blood-phobia self.

Jiraiya successfully took Hiashi away.

Various thoughts intertwined, but none could match the domineering power that Yin Yue unleashed, annihilating Jiraiya and Gamabunta together in this world.

After the dark red Susanoo drew its sword.

The rain curtain broke.

The earth cracked open.

Tsunade was completely unaware of Jiraiya's presence—what an absurd reality.

She couldn't quite accept it.

"Idiot!" Tsunade clenched her right hand tightly, her brows furrowed, and her teeth biting her lip until it bled.

She hugged the little piglet tightly.

She couldn't sympathize with Jiraiya's suicidal behavior; she simply couldn't accept that her old friend, whom she had just chatted with, was gone.

Even she could see it.

It's not the right time to make a move.

But why does that bastard Jiraiya insist on his own opinion? Hiashi's arrival here must have been arranged by the Hyuga clan. What does it have to do with Jiraiya?

The moment Jiraiya died.

The sorrow that overwhelmed Tsunade was not even as fast as the speed at which Jiraiya was annihilated.

Uchiha Yin Yue!!

Tsunade's phoenix eyes were filled with anger as she stared intently at the distant, mountain-like structure.

However, through Hiashi's sacrifice, she vaguely guessed something.

"Lady Tsunade..."

Shizune frowned, her heart filled with unease and anxiety. She wondered how she could comfort Tsunade in this situation.

Jiraiya and Ootsuki-kun have different stances.

That's it.

But right now, there's another matter that Tsunade needs to pay attention to.

"grown ups……"

Holding an umbrella in her left hand, Shizune frowned, reached out her right hand and gently patted Tsunade's shoulder, then cast her trembling gaze into the distance.

Tsunade snapped out of her daze, looked up blankly, and followed Shizune's gaze.

The battle on the other side continues.

"People change, and the landscape of the ninja world is changing. Jiraiya, you held fast to your beliefs, but now death is your only destiny. You died before the change happened, and this is the end of your ninja way."

Inside the Yamata no Orochi, Orochimaru, knowing that Jiraiya and Gamabunta had perished, sighed and lamented.

boom--

With a loud bang, Itachi's orange-red Susanoo struck again, taking advantage of Orochimaru's grief over Jiraiya's death to sever a white-scaled snake head with a single sword strike.

Pfft!

Blood gushed out like a pillar.

The snake's head fell to the ground.

"hiss--"

A sharp pain shot through him, and the remaining snake heads of the Yamata no Orochi shrank their pupils, letting out a mournful, hoarse roar. Its massive body was reduced to only three snake heads, making it look extremely wretched.

"Itachi!!!"

The Yamata no Orochi's eyes gleamed with ferocity, but it was truly helpless against Itachi's Susanoo. Considering the strength of both sides, its power was only slightly greater than its opponent's.

However, Itachi's Susanoo possesses the Totsuka Blade, a powerful weapon that can easily slice through the hard white snake scales with each strike against the giant serpent's body.

If it weren't for the commotion caused by Yin Yue's outburst, the battle would have paused for a moment.

Orochimaru, inside the Yamata no Orochi, knew that he was probably finished at this moment.

After this battle, Orochimaru realized his own limitations. He had initially intended to use Kakashi's Sharingan to outmaneuver Kakashi's Moon Lord, but now he understood that he couldn't even defeat Itachi...

Not to mention, facing the Moon Lord who sent Jiraiya to his grave with a single sword strike, trying to outsmart the Moon Lord is like dancing on a cliff of death; one wrong step and you're dead.

"Damn it!"

Inside the Yamata no Orochi, Orochimaru severed his thoughts and focused on dealing with Itachi, manipulating the serpent's body to crash into Itachi like a collapsing mountain.

bang——

Itachi spat out a mouthful of blood, enduring the painful cost of summoning Susanoo. With his left hand, he summoned the Yata Mirror, and a burning flame shield protected his chest, blocking the Yamata no Orochi as it desperately crashed down.

Their massive bodies trembled violently.

Orochi staggered backward, and Orochimaru was shocked to learn that Itachi still possessed a spiritual weapon!

Itachi narrowed his eyes and manipulated Susanoo to swing his sword. The Totsuka Blade easily severed another of Orochimaru's snake heads.

bang——

The snake's head fell to the ground.

Orochimaru's heart sank to the bottom. He confidently told Yin Yue that he would be responsible for stopping Itachi and the mysterious man.

But now, if Yin Yue doesn't step in to save him, he'll really be like Jiraiya, gone.

Itachi's gaze was cold as he stared directly at the Yamata no Orochi before him, noticing that the Orochi's life force and chakra had been almost completely weakened by his Susanoo.

Jiraiya couldn't withstand the Moon Drinker, and Hiashi is most likely dead; he's no match for the current Moon Drinker.

Moreover, he has already been marked with some kind of imprint.

Itachi's expression was solemn, his mind filled with countless thoughts and deep regret. He should have realized that the other party possessed the same eyes as him, so how could he not know the ultimate power hidden within them?

He simply couldn't believe that Yin Yue, who had just acquired those eyes, had learned of the existence of ultimate power and forcibly taken control of it within just a few days.

At this moment, the guy who called himself Madara has left. If the battle continues, Itachi will definitely die.

Itachi's mission was to hunt down the Uchiha group and protect Hiashi during their retreat.

But now both tasks have failed.

Even with the mindset of a Hokage, Itachi couldn't come up with a solution for the time being. Now that he was returning to the ninja village, he would inevitably face pressure from all sides.

Being condemned by the public is a minor matter; his and Sasuke's status in the ninja village... will probably plummet.

Rumbling--

Amidst the crumbling cliffs and rubble, the dark red Susanoo stands like a towering mountain in the human world.

As he turned, his combat boots pounded deep into the ground, causing the earth to tremble violently.

The Uchiha members quickly raised their hands to pull up their hoods, shielding themselves from the powerful gusts of wind.

"With such power, why didn't you... raze Konoha to the ground in the first place?"

Kimimaro's right arm transformed into a bone spear, which pierced the ground, plowing out a narrow crack, before finally stabilizing itself amidst the raging wind.

Uchiha Nanfeng shook his head and said:

"This is not the power that Captain Yinyue originally possessed; its chakra comes from us, from those dead ninjas."

Upon hearing this...

Kimimaro suddenly understood, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes. He gazed into the distance in the direction that the massive, dark red Susanoo was facing, where the Yamata no Orochi and Itachi's Susanoo were located.

At this moment, Itachi's Susanoo and Orochimaru's Yamata no Orochi looked like two immature children in front of Lord Yinyue's Susanoo.

Kimimaro recalled again what Yinyue had said to him: "Just watch."

So that's what it meant.

"well--"

Kimimaro's face, flushed crimson by the dark red light, gradually stiffened, and he let out a sigh.

No wonder Lord Orochimaru is so eager to obtain the Sharingan and cares so much about Itachi.

Boom—Boom—Boom—

The dark red, fully-formed Susanoo slowly walked forward, and with each step, the earth trembled and the ground collapsed.

On the armor burning with dark red flames, within the diamond-shaped blood-red gem, Yin Yue's expression remained calm. Even if he were to act now, it would be too late to save Orochimaru.

The dark red Susanoo's body shimmered with red light.

Yin Yue remotely released the Eight Thousand Spears, using mental manipulation to keep Itachi in place. However, after weakening Orochi, Itachi had already pierced Orochi's body with the Totsuka Blade and cast a seal.

The world underwent a dramatic change.

An orange-red light ignited, attempting to rival the dark red light between heaven and earth, but ultimately it was like a firefly against the blazing sun. However, as it dissipated, it gradually energized the Yamata no Orochi and absorbed it into the seal.

The Yamata no Orochi transformed into a twisted white energy and was drawn into the Totsuka Blade.

Itachi breathed a sigh of relief.

Yin Yue had no feelings for Sasuke, but Orochimaru harbored ulterior motives towards Sasuke, so he was determined to seal Orochimaru away regardless of the circumstances.

"No--!!"

Inside the Yamata no Orochi, Orochimaru felt an endless abyss rushing towards him. Fear rose within him, and he was powerless to resist this divine power, clearly sensing his strength rapidly draining away.

Until it was completely sealed away.

The world seemed to fall silent.

Tsunade stood frozen at the edge of the cliff.

Having witnessed the entire process, she was stunned into silence. From this day forward, the ninja world would never have another Sannin.
