Konoha's Mission Master

The five red snake heads were incredibly ferocious, spreading thick red mist around them. They had sharp fangs and thick saliva dripping from their mouths, which instantly created layers of white smoke when they fell to the ground.

This saliva is poisonous... or rather, it's a strong acid.

From the gaps in the blood-red scales, countless red tentacles emerge... their ends are sharp, diamond-shaped spikes, and the inside of the tentacles is hollow... like some kind of feeding organ.

Especially the wooden sword at the tail of the Yamata no Orochi, stained with blood flames, was particularly terrifying. Its serpentine eyes were filled with malice as it stared at Yakumo, as if its humanity was gradually disappearing as he used the Yamata no Orochi technique.

What Yakumo didn't know was that Orochimaru intended to use Hashirama's cells to suppress the alien chakra originating from Oku, but Orochimaru overplayed his hand. With the alien chakra increasing in number, it eventually became completely uncontrollable and spiraled out of control.

Orochimaru could only seal it inside his body as much as possible.

"Eat...eat...!"

The blood-red tentacles swiftly pierced towards Yakumo.

Orochimaru seemed to have truly become that great demon from ancient mythology, who was accompanied by calamities and liked to devour young girls. A tangible pressure descended like a wave, and his sixteen blood-red eyes stared intently at Yakumo.

As the Yamata no Orochi breathed, the blood mist gradually began to clash with the eternal slumber mist, but the eternal slumber mist, which had evolved several times, quickly suppressed the blood mist.

A strange, eerie cry emanating from the depths of the leaden-gray fog irritated the Yamata no Orochi.

At that moment, the light of day descended, instantly piercing through the thick fog.

The sunlight that had surrounded them for thousands of miles rapidly contracted, eventually transforming into a white beam that poured into the sword case on Yakumo's back. Two weapons burning with the fire of the sun slowly slid out and were held in Yakumo's hands.

But the changes have not stopped.

The golden lightning, almost tangible, extended outwards like a blade. Under its influence, the fire of the sun burned around the blade formed by the lightning. In the blink of an eye, two giant swords, each about two meters long, were created by Yakumo.

Only a weapon of this length can stand against a hundred-meter-tall Yamata no Orochi!

The scales transformed into various colored pythons, and the blood-red tentacles attacked Yakumo, accompanied by a stench and the sound of air being torn apart... Especially the ends of those blood-red tentacles, with their diamond-shaped spikes resembling blades.

"Waltz".

Yakumo raised his golden sword domain and rushed towards the giant serpent.

Within the domain, golden blade energy traversed and moved about.

The blood-red tentacles were severed in an instant, but more tentacles, mixed with various pythons, forcefully broke into Yakumo's territory.

This is the vast army created by Orochimaru, ferocious and savage.

But Yakumo only had two swords in his hands.

A golden storm swept through the air, severing countless snake heads. The foul-smelling, viscous snake blood filled the entire space, yet the attacks composed of snake heads and tentacles became even denser, like an impenetrable net.

Yakumo kept charging forward, only to be quickly pushed back to his original position.

Those snake heads possessed formidable impact and resilience. Even if they were severed by Yakumo, the immense force they carried would still hinder Yakumo's offensive progress. Moreover, there were tens of thousands of these snake heads and tentacles!

Yakumo breathed slightly and created a shadow clone.

His eyes were filled with fighting spirit, like a sharp arrow rushing straight towards the Yamata no Orochi!

"Sage Art: Wood Release: Sea of ​​Black Thorns!"

As Yakumo's shadow clone slammed the ground, black, steel-like thorns spread outward from the ground. These thorns were about the thickness of a wrist, and the longest barbs on them could reach 15 centimeters!

A black ocean rose from behind Yakumo, strangling the various pythons formed from the scales of the Yamata no Orochi. This was a ninjutsu that Yakumo had mastered when he broke through to the Master level with Wood Release. These black thorns were as hard as steel and had the characteristic of devouring life to grow. They were extremely powerful kings on that pure green planet, but unfortunately, they were eventually wiped out by the tree-shaped king.

But it became a technique mastered by Yakumo!

The moment the black ocean came into contact with the snake's blood, its dark, hard body was faintly stained with blood, revealing a ferocious and bloodthirsty side. It frantically strangled the pythons in the sky and even began an endless battle with the blood-red tentacles, as if thousands of troops were fighting each other.

Yakumo's shadow clone, with an icy expression, continued to inject chakra.

The pressure on Yakumo's main body suddenly decreased, and it immediately burst out with a powerful speed, approaching the Yamata no Orochi. The golden arc collided with the serpent's body.

The scales were cut off directly, and blood flowed out.

The sun's fire immediately adhered to the wound and burned.

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo!"

The Yamata no Orochi let out a painful howl, and at the same time opened its blood-red maw and spat out thick acid at Yakumo. Yakumo used the technique of Instant Light to directly appear in front of the giant serpent, and quickly swung out sword energy with both hands to cut off the white serpent's head.

Without hesitation, Yakumo continued to exert force, pushing the blade's energy outwards. The two wooden snake heads were severed at the same moment, and the huge snake heads slid off their necks, crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up thick smoke.

But Yakumo's body also lost its strength and fell downwards.

The five blood-red snake heads opened their mouths and spat out a blood-red beam of light. This beam of light spread extremely quickly, and Yakumo was in a somewhat awkward position in mid-air.

On the other hand, Yakumo's shadow clone completed its hand seals.

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

The wooden dragon crashed upwards from the ground, and Yakumo used its momentum to change his position, landing on the Yamata no Orochi.

"Hunting Time".

Yakumo laughed loudly, then reversed the direction of his double blades and pierced directly into the snake's body. The two-meter-long giant sword was completely embedded in the snake, and the fire of the sun spread out from within.

The black thorns began to coil around the body of the Yamata no Orochi.

The body of the Yamata no Orochi began to tremble, and a third pair of scarlet blood-red eyes opened from the foreheads of its remaining five snake heads!

Yakumo instantly thought of the ferocious blood crystal lion, Otto. It was as if some evil will was awakening within the body of the Yamata no Orochi, and its deep, powerful voice carried a hint of arrogance that looked down upon the world.

"Blood Flame Spirit Lord!"

Blood flames burned from its massive body, causing the black thorns that wrapped around it to wither and die instantly, becoming dry as if all the moisture had been drained away in an instant.

The surrounding black thorns died in swathes, and the colorful pythons and blood-red tentacles turned around and surged toward Yakumo's main body, which was standing on the surface of the Yamata no Orochi.

Yakumo drew out the Jade Pendant, leaving the Demon-Subduing Serpent inside its body. He then wielded the Jade Pendant to create a barrier of solar fire to counteract the blood flames, temporarily establishing a safe foothold. He also slashed at the surrounding crimson tentacles with his blade.

At the same time, he gripped the Demon-Subduing Hand tightly in his right hand and continued to infuse it with golden lightning.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

The Yamata no Orochi let out a painful howl.

The sun's fire scorched relentlessly inside.

"Sage Art: Wood Release: Descent of the Tree World!"

Thick tree roots burst from the ground and attacked the Yamata no Orochi, causing the blood flames to burn more intensely.

The Yamata no Orochi suddenly moved forward, abandoning part of its flesh and blood to throw Yakumo off.

Yakumo landed smoothly, his right hand wielding the Sunfire Blade, which ignited the flesh and blood on the blade, burning it to ashes.

"Acidic mucus!"

The Yamata no Orochi regenerated three heads, its abdomen swelled into a ball, and then it spat out eight streams of foul-smelling, acidic saliva from its large mouth.

Yakumo immediately began to run, dodging the attacks at the same time.

On the other hand, the tree roots, like coiled dragons, entangled the eight-headed serpent and clashed with the blood flames. As the tree roots died, the raging blood flames also dimmed and became transparent.

Under the control of Yamata no Orochi, countless stone spikes emerged from the ground and began to consciously attack Yakumo, causing the entire earth to tremble.

This manipulation is more like the instinct of the Yamata no Orochi.

Yakumo once again used the technique of the Instant Light to dodge the surrounding stone spikes, quickly approaching the Yamata no Orochi.

Jieyu was temporarily put back into the sword box.

He gripped the Demon-Subduing Blade tightly with both hands... continuously pouring energy into it, and the flames on the blade intensified as if wood had been added, causing the blade to expand outwards into a four-meter-long broadsword.

“Wei Kingdom”.

Yakumo leaped high into the air, his body rapidly approaching the Yamata no Orochi.

At the same time, Orochi swiftly swung its tail, and the divine sword Kusanagi attacked rapidly.

This weapon is about ten meters long.

This is Orochimaru's hidden trump card, the mythical sword that can cut through anything, possessing the magical ability to shatter light and shadow with a single strike.

Above it... blood-red flames burned fiercely.

In the blink of an eye, the two weapons were about to collide, but Yakumo used the momentum to elevate himself by half a body length, causing Orochimaru's long-planned attack to miss completely.

This was not Moonwalk, but rather a sudden burst of chakra that caused the body to shift by about half a meter. This half meter was crucial.

Yakumo seemed to be dancing on a knife's edge.

"Roar!"

The Yamata no Orochi roared, like a dragon's cry. Compared to it, Yakumo's figure was undoubtedly tiny, but the Yamata no Orochi dared not underestimate it in the slightest.

Golden light and shadow traversed the distance and collided with the Yamata no Orochi.

From top to bottom, it seems as if it is about to split the whole thing apart.

The Yamata no Orochi stared menacingly at Yakumo above its head.

Countless snake heads spread out, covering dozens of meters in half a second, opening their blood-red maws... relentlessly tearing at Yakumo, the golden arc barrier gradually being pierced by the sharp teeth, followed by the hardened skin.

But the golden blade continued to fall rapidly.

Inch by inch, meter by meter, it was unstoppable.

The hard scales were unfolded by the sharp blade as if made of paper, followed by flesh and bone. The blade's downward speed slowed down, but it continued to slowly advance deeper into the depths.

Golden lines appeared between heaven and earth.

The Yamata no Orochi let out a mournful howl, and the various pythons continued to tear at Yakumo.

The skin became covered in blood, and toxins were injected into the body.

"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands - Top Transformation Buddha!"

On the other hand, a wooden Buddha statue hundreds of meters tall appeared, and thousands of fists pounded down wildly, as if the end of the world had arrived.

The earth cracked and the mountains collapsed.

The entire earth began to shake, and thick smoke rose into the air.

Yakumo landed on the ground, and Kaiyoku slid out, drawing out golden blade energy that instantly dismembered the snake's head that was tearing at its body. The twin blades were brimming with even greater power.

Thousands of fists continued to rain down relentlessly.

The Yamata no Orochi was in a terrible state, its entire body almost being cleaved in two, yet it remained imposing, spitting out viscous acidic venom towards the Buddha, who was hundreds of meters tall, while simultaneously wielding its giant tail to slice at the Buddha with the sharpness of the Kusanagi sword.

Under the control of Yamata no Orochi, its two heads stared intently at Yakumo's main body.
