Konoha's Mission Master

"Boom..."

The small white ball exploded in mid-air, and a bright white light spread outward, crushing the surrounding vines into fragments.

This was Orochimaru's fifth use of the White Rage Technique, and only its powerful effect could temporarily delay his defeat.

Under the intense light, Yakumo's blood vessels ruptured, and blood seeped from under his skin, making his face look particularly ferocious.

Ten minutes later.

The two continued to fight amidst the blood and gore, the ground around them covered in snake blood, and the air thick with a foul odor.

Suddenly, Orochimaru saw a blood-red, large-headed doll in his vision.

Take a bite.

The gaping maw bit into Orochimaru's head, sending a slight stinging pain through his mind. The sudden pain made him hesitate for half a second.

As Yakumo watched the big-headed doll bite Orochimaru, he immediately seized the opportunity and slashed three times in a very short moment, severely injuring Orochimaru.

The two separated, and the thick, blood-red tree roots, under Yakumo's control, lashed out like giant whips at Orochimaru's flying body.

bump.

Both hit.

Orochimaru's scales were badly damaged, making him look like a fish whose scales had been scraped off, and more blood gushed out...

A few seconds later, it finally stopped about 20 meters away from Yakumo.

Orochimaru looked at Yakumo, twirled the Kusanagi sword, and then sheathed it.

The hands begin to form hand seals.

"White Stimulation Technique".

The crimson dragon shadow collided with the surrounding tree root barrier.

The entire barrier began to shake. Yakumo immediately poured more chakra into the barrier in an attempt to stabilize the swaying Wood Release cage, while his main body gripped his weapon and charged toward Orochimaru.

Now that Orochimaru wants to break free of the cage, his goal is very likely to escape from the cage and then retreat!

Orochimaru chose the weakest point in the cage, or rather, he planned to escape temporarily when he was slashed away by Yakumo's sword.

A snap.

As the bright light descended, Yakumo's steps faltered slightly.

Cracks appeared in the Wood Release barrier, and Orochimaru immediately fled.

Three seconds later, the two appeared outside the Wood Release barrier.

At this time, many high-ranking officials of Konoha had gathered here, and the surrounding residents had been temporarily evacuated to a distant location.

"So Orochimaru, you really are alive..." Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze was complicated. When he received the news of Orochimaru's death, he inevitably felt sadness. Now that they were reunited, he felt little joy.

After all, Orochimaru wanted to destroy the village he cherished...

"Long time no see, old man," Orochimaru replied with a faint smile.

A strange light flickered in his golden vertical pupils as he slowly swept his gaze over the people around him, most of whom were his old friends.

Yakumo and Orochimaru... The two stood guard against each other on the surface of the barrier formed by blood-red vines, and no battle broke out for the time being.

If Orochimaru had the intention to destroy Konoha, Yakumo wouldn't be able to stop him.

"Orochimaru, stop making mistakes and surrender!"

Pain flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

"Old man, you haven't seen the scenery I've seen, nor have you climbed the peaks I've climbed. How can you judge whether I'm right or wrong?"

Orochimaru answered with a smile, his expression quite calm... Yakumo did not sense any ferocious evil chakra in him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent.

After witnessing the battle between Yakumo and Orochimaru, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness; it was a peak he could not comprehend.

"This world's only Yakumo-kun is worthy of my attention..."

Orochimaru continued.

"Unfortunately... the time is not right yet."

"Shh!"

Yakumo suddenly rushed towards Orochimaru and attacked without warning.

Orochimaru opened his mouth, accompanied by two white snakes.

"Immortal Technique - Super White Rush Technique".

Three crimson dragon shadows flew towards the distant residential area. In mid-air, the three dragon shadows quickly merged into one, and the pressure they possessed became even more terrifying, containing a horrifying aura of death.

Orochimaru immediately leaped away and fled...

Without hesitation, Yakumo gripped the Demon-Subduing Sword and flew towards the crimson dragon shadow, his anger accumulating until it erupted.

Orochimaru didn't attack randomly; his attack was aimed at...

The most densely populated area in Konoha has at least tens of thousands of people.

This is a threat, but also a calculated move...

At this moment, Yakumo no longer had time to conceal his flight ability.

Full speed ahead!!

Chapter 278 Post-War Meeting, Enhancement of Wood Release

The crimson dragon shadow flew rapidly toward the residential area.

At the critical moment.

Yakumo defied the forces of gravity and flew through the air.

In the blink of an eye, it caught up with the crimson dragon shadow. The Demon Subduer ignited golden flames, its entire body filled with golden arcs of electricity.

Within his heart, more golden arcs of electricity surged through his bloodstream to all parts of his body, making Yakumo appear like a golden sun from a distance.

The crimson dragon shadow hovered in the air, rapidly spinning and converging into a sphere.

A dangerous shockwave spread outwards; this was Orochimaru's all-out attack, even surpassing Pain's Super Shinra Tensei in power.

If it were allowed to fully erupt, Konoha would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

The crimson dragon shadow rotated towards the center in mid-air until it formed a nearly transparent sphere. Objects within a few kilometers around it began to tremble irregularly, and the walls of houses gradually cracked.

Swish.

Yakumo appeared next to the sphere and thrust his sword towards it.

This is a test... but also a full-force attack under normal circumstances.

"Ding."

The electric arc exploded and spread. Although cracks appeared in the sphere, the surrounding vibrations did not weaken. At the center of the sphere, a pure white light was about to erupt.

"Earth Release: Earth Flowing Walls!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly completed the hand seals, his white hair spreading out in the gust of wind as he stepped directly into the range of the White Strike Technique.

He spat out soil, trying to build a wall to withstand the surrounding tremors. Because he had stepped into the attack range of the White Rage Technique, blood seeped from his mouth and nose.

A snap.

The bluestone slabs on the street cracked and spread outwards.

The Anbu members immediately organized a defense and used their unique ninjutsu to protect their home. Not only the Anbu, but also others who had woken up from their sleep, all spontaneously used their best ninjutsu to protect their home.

certainly…

Many more people looked up at the golden figure.

Yakumo is their true hope.

The strike landed.

The reaction force from the collision forced Yakumo to take a half step back, but no blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, Yakumo, at full power, was able to withstand the shock damage from the White Rage Technique.

Yakumo gazed at the small ball, his energy coalescing into a blade.

"Extreme Blade Slash!"

"Ding!"

More cracks appeared on the surface of the white sphere, and even more terrifying fluctuations spread outwards.

Yakumo's shadow clones on the ground spread out a Tree World, creating a new layer of defense outside of everyone's defenses.

Mid-air, Yakumo suddenly realized his mistake.

Before the White Stimulation Technique is fully activated, the external energy structure serves as a defense to protect the core energy cluster.

At this point... the best approach is to suppress and seal it, rather than violently destroy it from the outside.

At this moment, the arrow is already on the bowstring... there is no chance to change the course of events.

The only way to defeat the strong is through sheer strength.

The small white ball gradually moves away, and the central white dot spreads outward...

At this moment, Yakumo held his breath and concentrated, his arm muscles bulging, and terrifying violence was born from his waist, spreading and spreading towards his arms.

Yakumo swung the Demon-Subduing spell at the small ball.

In an extremely short time, the blade flashed continuously!

"Fourfold Extreme Blade Slash!!"

[Hint: The spell-breaking effect has been triggered!]
