Konoha: Who's the good guy?

Back then, Yamanaka Kei spent several hours in this forest experimenting with Wood Release, using all sorts of powerful Wood Release ninjutsu without restraint.

After the experiment, the trees that were born from the birth of the tree kingdom and the birth of the flowering tree kingdom only need to have their flower buds slightly covered.

However, the wooden men and wooden dragons are somewhat troublesome to destroy.

He simply let the wooden dragon burrow directly underground, while the wooden man was buried using earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique in Chinese fantasy novels).

Back here.

The mountain scenery doesn't even require a clap of hands.

By using the massive amount of chakra provided by the Sage's body to re-infuse the power of the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai into these things, one can begin to control them directly.

Orochimaru just flooded the entire forest with a sea of ​​snakes.

The main purpose is actually to eliminate and investigate any possible traps or pitfalls.

After all, the scenery in the mountains brought him directly here.

A normal ninja would consider whether this forest has been tampered with.

Some measures were implemented to benefit the scenery in the mountains.

pity.

Wood Release is not something a normal ninja can use.

Orochimaru racked his brains but never considered that the enemy's methods would involve these trees, which looked only slightly thicker and were almost ubiquitous in the Land of Fire!

"Wood Release? Wood Release! Hahahaha!"

Orochimaru didn't even glance at the Manda that had vanished beneath his feet.

Staring at the mountain scenery sitting on the wooden figure's head, with its feet dangling naturally over the edge of its head and a smiling face, he burst into wild laughter.

He studied Wood Release Kekkei Genkai for six years!

However, due to the powerful phagocytic and invasive nature of Hashirama Senju's cells, the experiment made almost no progress.

Yamanaka Kei can actually use Wood Release!

This guy must have some trait that he hasn't figured out yet!

powerful!

Magnificent!

The First Hokage's devastating and unparalleled Wood Release power!

Orochimaru's hands trembled as his overwhelming excitement overwhelmed his reason.

Although the power displayed by the mountain scenery had already made him instinctively feel fear, and even gave rise to an impulse to run away.

Such a perfect experimental subject, such a perfect Wood Release bloodline limit!

Try it! You absolutely have to try it!

If, just in case, maybe...

BOOM!

Orochimaru bit his fingertip, formed hand seals, and slammed his hands down onto the ground.

Unprecedented hope and excitement burst forth from his golden snake eyes, and the chakra surging from his body erupted into a dense mist that blotted out the sky.

"Hiss hiss hiss~"

Giant pythons, only slightly smaller than Manda, raised their heads high from the chakra smoke.

Even when the three-headed and two-headed serpents saw the wooden figure several times their size, their ferocious aura remained undiminished.

boom!

The next moment, a dozen giant pythons and four wooden dragons were locked in a fierce battle.

Earth and rocks collapsed, giant trees fell, and as the two tumbled and intertwined, the earth within a radius of several kilometers trembled and roared.

The billowing smoke and dust swept across the entire battlefield.

The ancient trees, nurtured and controlled by the birth of the Tree Realm, are still trying to bind the giant python with their ever-growing vines and branches.

Bang~ Bang~

The giant python, which was already no match for the wooden dragon, suffered two serious injuries in a single encounter and turned into smoke, returning to the Dragon Cave.

The remaining giant pythons were treated like playthings, being wantonly twisted and beaten by the wooden dragon.

Judging from its appearance, it probably won't even last a minute before it all disappears!

As Orochimaru rushed toward the mountain scenery, his eyes quickly swept over several of the tallest ancient trees, noticing that the flower buds on them were gradually blooming as they swayed, beginning to scatter mist-like pollen in all directions.

He knew that if he didn't act quickly, he feared he would soon lose the opportunity completely!

His hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, and one powerful escape technique after another shot out from between his palms.

Earth Release: Mountain Earth Technique, Wind Release: Vacuum Wave, Fire Release: Dust Concealment Technique!

A semi-circular mass of earth and rocks, tens of meters high, crashed down on the wooden figure.

A series of wind blades quickly severed the branches that were binding and whipping towards him.

The overwhelming high-temperature dust spread and diffused rapidly in all directions, and the dense dust almost instantly obscured all light and shadow around Orochimaru.

"Why bother? Wouldn't it be better to just put it out there?"

With his own senses, Yamanaka Kei clearly "saw" all of Orochimaru's movements amidst the dust.

Using the obstruction of vision, he created eight shadow clones using the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

Four streams dive underground, while three streams openly surge forward.

A hand seal was quickly formed beside Orochimaru's main body.

Orochimaru's main body also began to form long hand seals. Yamanaka Kei knew without guessing that the starting posture was some kind of powerful forbidden technique!

He's not some brainless villainous boss who thinks he's invincible.

Of course, it's impossible to just stand by and watch the enemy unleash a powerful attack.

Clap your hands together.

From the giant trees that were created by his own chakra, wooden clones immediately materialized.

The wooden figure's eyes also burst forth with a dazzling light, and its four arms, mimicking those of Susanoo, pounded directly towards the location of Orochimaru's main body.

Triple Rashomon!

Bang bang bang!

Orochimaru's shadow clone slammed his palms on the ground, and three magnificent gates, each engraved with a strange demonic face, crashed down in front of the wooden dummy's fist wind.

Before the gate could make contact with the wooden figure's fist.

Behind the gate, Orochimaru's main body, who was still forming hand seals, was suddenly attacked by his wood clone!

The flesh and blood bodies were struck by the heavy hammer with a dull thud, almost becoming one piece.

That unknown forbidden technique simply vanished without a trace!

Boom!

Bang bang bang bang~

The triple Rashomon collapsed and shattered under the continuous attacks of the wooden dummy.

Orochimaru's true form, which was being brutally beaten by the three clones of Sandoki, was also revealed from the billowing dust.

"Ugh... Ugh... Ah..."

Painful groans and dry heaving sounds continued to ring out.

The shadow clones he had previously created were also successively defeated by the wood clones.

"Space-Time Technique: Yellow Springs Reincarnation Technique, Soul-Body Separation Technique, Four Purple Flame Array combined with snake venom imbued with natural energy... I'm really going all out!"

Yamanaka Kei formed a hand seal and connected Orochimaru's mind using the Mind-to-Body Technique.

I wanted to advise the other party to give up as soon as possible.

However, when using the mind-to-body transmission technique, the subconscious memory reading technique allowed him to detect the other party's thoughts.

凸（艹皿艹）～

The Space-Time Technique: Yomi Reincarnation Technique is a technique used by the reanimated Sound Four during the Fourth Shinobi World War in the original work to deal with Neji, Kiba, Choji, and Shikamaru.

It can separate the soul and body of the person who is affected by the spell from their physical body, directly pulling the soul into a special battlefield.

A body that remains stationary and loses its soul will gradually approach death.

The Soul Separation Technique is also a forbidden technique involving the soul. It can seal the enemy's soul with a special talisman inscribed with the enemy's name and information.

If combined with the Yellow Springs Reincarnation Technique, there is no solution unless the soul is strong enough and there are also special methods of soul attack.

As for the Four Purple Flame Formation, in the original work, this thing trapped Hiruzen Sarutobi, leaving a group of Anbu members helpless.

If the soul of the mountain scenery was truly taken away by the Yellow Springs, leaving only its body here.

Once the Four Purple Flame Array is activated.

Snake venom, imbued with natural energy, filled the enclosed space.

Even though Yamanaka Kei resisted Orochimaru's Soul Separation Technique by using the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan.

Using the technique of spiritualization, he forcibly broke through the restrictions of the Yellow Springs' transformation, and his soul returned to his body.

They themselves can be poisoned by the special snake venom that contains natural energy, without mastering natural energy and learning Sage Mode.

The only solution seems to be fighting ourselves?

Bangbang punched himself several times?

凸(艹皿艹)~!

Fight! Fight! Fight!

This thing is too insidious; it must be dealt with severely!

The wooden dummy swung its four fists wildly downwards.

Three wooden clones transformed into vines and branches on Orochimaru's body, binding him tightly in place.

A wooden clone continuously sealed his limbs.

The remaining two wood clones continuously injected chaotic chakra into his body, interfering with his ability to perform ninjutsu.

The giant snakes that were summoned earlier have all disappeared.

Not a single shadow clone remained.

Orochimaru could only watch helplessly as the giant fists from the sky rained down upon him!

Boom boom boom boom!

After half an hour.

"Hey~ Hey hey~ Stop playing dead, take a breath."

Yamanaka Kei's right foot glowed with the light of the Healing Palm Technique as he stepped on Orochimaru's mangled body.

His bones were shattered into pieces, his limbs had long since turned into a pulp, and even his head was twisted and deformed.

But Orochimaru withstood the beating thanks to his incredible vitality!

His chest, riddled with countless bloody holes from broken bones, rose and fell slightly.

Healed by medical ninjutsu, Orochimaru opened his deformed eye sockets and stared directly at the mountain scenery high above.

"Huff...huff...huff...healing with your feet, is it the mercy of the strong?"

"Are you sure you want me to use my hands? Let me tell you beforehand, my hands are poisonous."

Yamanaka Kei stared at Orochimaru's unwavering gaze, and after a moment of stalemate, clicked his tongue, pulled his foot back, and squatted down.

A bright green light shone from his hands, which he then placed back on the other person's chest.

*Pfft* *Pfft* *Pfft*

Orochimaru's chest, now a mangled mess, convulsed violently.

Relying on its powerful vitality and medical ninjutsu, the wounds that had just begun to heal immediately began to bleed again.

I almost died on the spot.

"You're suited for the interrogation department!"

"I already told you beforehand, you asked for it yourself."

"..."

"How about we switch back? Tsk~ What are you glaring at me for? I'm asking you one last time, are you switching or not?"

"Change!"
