Konoha's Mission Master

Orochimaru's transformation did not stop there. Instead, he slammed his hands down on the ground, and massive ink patterns spread outwards, covering a space of hundreds of square meters around him.

These are the runes for psychic magic.

With a loud bang, a thick cloud of smoke billowed up.

Then came the roar of the enormous beast. The roar was deep and long, yet it had a very strong penetrating power.

As the smoke dissipated, a huge snake head covered in blood-red scales burst out of the smoke and collided with the tree roots.

In an instant, countless vines snapped and flew away; only the thickest tree roots could withstand this behemoth.

On the battlefield, deafening roars echoed continuously.

When all the smoke cleared, Yakumo saw the eight-headed giant serpent, its thick neck connecting to its massive body, ending in a slender, long tail with a long sword of alternating blue and blood-red color growing from it.

This giant beast should be considered Orochimaru's Eight-Headed Serpent Technique.

It resembles the one that Yakumo killed back then, except... the Okuto cells and Hashirama cells of this giant beast have been perfectly fused.

The whole thing seems to be a combination of the cells of the Ooto and the Hashirama.

This is Orochimaru's second clone.

To Yakumo's astonishment, the eight-headed serpent raised its head to slowly gather energy, showing no hesitation or wavering even though it was completely wrapped in vines.

Suddenly, Yakumo sensed the aura of the White Snake Sage on the eight-headed serpent, and this aura was even stronger than that of Orochimaru in his human form.

Could it be... that the White Snake Sage has already been devoured by Orochimaru?

The terrifying energies gradually converged.

Yakumo quickly focused his mind and used all his strength to manipulate the sharp spikes of the vines to break through the scales on the giant snake's surface and begin to devour its blood.

The eight-headed serpent let out a painful roar.

On the other hand, dozens of tree roots were also bursting forth with all their might, like countless giant whips, frantically attacking the massive body of the eight-headed serpent.

Blood splattered, scales were torn... the giant snake cried out in anguish.

The energy gathering in the mouths of the eight-headed serpent grew increasingly dangerous, showing no sign of stopping.

It's planning to... trade injury for injury!

Yakumo immediately plunged into the Blood Jade Ancient Tree and began manipulating the tree roots to form a thick defense in front of it.

If he's right... this is an enhanced version of the White Rush technique!

Chapter 286 Chaotic Battle, Raikage Appears

The crimson forest witnessed the final, deadly battle.

Yakumo manipulated the tree roots to entwine and bind the giant serpent's head.

This... eight-headed serpent gained an incredibly powerful body in exchange for sacrificing its intelligence.

The giant beast was now howling in sorrow.

Countless tree roots enveloped it from the inside out, and even tiny vines grew inside its body, destroying and strangling its flesh, and searching for the beast's heart.

In the shadows… Orochimaru’s face was terrifyingly gloomy.

He sacrificed the entire Ryuchi Cave by fusing multiple cells, and the carefully cultivated clones are being cruelly destroyed and killed by the enemy.

The eight-headed serpent still gathers energy.

Even with its head completely enveloped by tree roots, it did not stop moving.

Inside the Blood Jade Ancient Tree, Yakumo drew out the Demon-Subduing Sword.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

The eight giant serpent's heads exploded, and eight white energy clusters converged in mid-air, transforming into crimson dragon shadows as they moved.

In the void, a bright, full moon appeared.

The eight crimson dragon shadows immediately began to revolve around the full moon, appearing from a distance like eight dragons playing with a pearl, constantly moving around... Meanwhile, the full moon began to expand.

Among the Blood Jade Ancient Tree, Yakumo continued to manipulate the tree roots and vines to strangle the eight-headed giant serpent, only allocating a small portion of his energy for defense.

With the cumulative effect of these enhancements, the constitution attribute reaches over 80 points.

This level of vitality makes Yakumo's recovery ability extremely terrifying. Coupled with the enchantment attribute that locks in health and the Undying Heart, he is not afraid of powerful impacts.

Instead... it would be better to take advantage of the eight-headed serpent's weakness and strangle it further.

The crimson dragon's shadow merged into the bright full moon, and the surrounding area began to ripple like an earthquake, even the void itself began to tremble slowly.

The earth suddenly split open, revealing a dense mass of blood-red tree roots, resembling countless thick, twisted serpents forming a terrifying barrier.

The aura of destruction swept outwards in vast stretches.

On the ground, the vines turned into powder under the vibration, the bark of the roots cracked and gradually broke... then stubbornly reassembled.

bump.

The tormented eight-headed serpent vanished.

The psychic abilities have been resolved.

In the corner, Orochimaru formed a cross with his hands.

"Immortal Technique - Divine - Crimson Dragon Guarding the Moon Technique!"

Suddenly, a burst of intense white light erupted from the full moon, like a holy light purifying everything, yet also carrying an incomparably terrifying aura of destruction.

The tree roots formed a wall, which was gradually swallowed by the white light...

As Yakumo gazed at the white light, he suddenly thought of Onoki's Dust Release, as the two were very similar in characteristics.

Both are equally domineering, devouring and decomposing everything.

Orochimaru's technique is more powerful than Bloodstained Elimination.

This is the strongest spear below the Six Paths, but what puzzled Yakumo was that Orochimaru was also within the attack range of the white light.

But he didn't seem worried at all about being swallowed by the white light.

"I just can't understand it..." Yakumo sighed softly.

But he didn't panic. Instead, he waved his right arm, which was holding the demon-subduing weapon, as if a deity were issuing a command...

Under the cover of the tree roots, the roots of the Blood Jade Ancient Tree detached from the earth and quickly transformed into a blood-red giant with a shoulder diameter of about fifty meters. The giant's face was blurry, but it could be seen that it was the image of Yakumo.

As tree roots entwined around him, a long sword about one hundred meters long materialized in his right hand. The crimson giant casually swung the sword, and golden arcs of electricity suddenly stained the blade, transforming it into a hundred-meter-long lightsaber.

The tree root barrier in front of Yakumo was completely disintegrated, and a fierce white light pushed towards the crimson giant. At the giant's feet... the remaining plants returned all their energy to the crimson giant.

The crimson giant swung his hundred-meter-long weapon, naturally generating terrifying wind pressure, and the falling blade friction against the air produced a sonic boom!

At this moment, the golden arcs of electricity flowing along the blade converged into a solid, as if covering the blade with a hard and sharp edge.

The white light attacked the giant, but it wasn't very fast.

In an instant, amidst the sound of an explosion, Yakumo's first slash sliced ​​through the air, leaving a near-perfect arc in the void, like a golden full moon.

Where the blade strikes, the fortifications are impenetrable.

The rate at which the white light invaded gradually stopped.

This is a miracle or a divine intervention, but it is also absolute violence!

"Too weak, is that all?"

Yakumo's life energy surged, flowing into the giant that seemed to be made of blood jade. Instantly, it perfectly repaired the damaged parts, and with the infusion of life energy, the pressure emanating from the blood-red giant became exceptionally terrifying.

"Triple Blade Slash!"

The crimson giant gripped his sword with both hands, his domineering aura filling the entire space. In an extremely short time, he forcefully transformed the inertia of the falling weapon into the power for his next strike.

In an instant, the three swords merged into one.

The golden blade energy collided with the white light, severing it almost instantly.

Of course, that's not all. The next second, the blade energy exploded... Boundless golden light spread and impacted, washing away everything and resisting the white light.

A dozen seconds later, both were completely annihilated.

As life energy surged forth, crimson vines immediately grew from the damaged areas on the crimson giant's body, completing the repair in the blink of an eye.

The surrounding tree roots were disintegrated by the white light, and several men in black immediately surrounded them. They stood at the six points of the six-pointed star, subtly trapping Yakumo in the center.

These five people are all at least at the Kage level!

One of them had the strongest momentum. He manipulated iron sand to form a cube and, relying on his powerful defense, flew towards the Wood Release giant controlled by Yakumo.

Yakumo directly manipulated the giant to swing its blade, slashing down the flying iron sand. The attack power carried by the blade directly cut through the iron sand.

Within the cubic-shaped iron sand, the Third Kazekage, dressed in a black robe and with blue hair, was immediately sent flying backward and crashed to the ground some distance away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Third Kazekage, your actions will harm Sunagakure."

Yakumo clasped his hands together and split the giant blood jade giant into six wooden figures, each about thirty meters tall. These wooden figures were then controlled by the Yakumo clones to fight against the others.

Meanwhile, the remaining tree roots underground broke through the soil and continued to grow into large trees and ocean-like vines.

Even though Orochimaru's attack obliterated about five meters of the earth, the tree roots deep inside remained active.

The difficulty of Wood Release lies in its endless cycle of life.

More plants began to revive in the surrounding pits, and without Yakumo's command, these plants began to work with the tree roots to create the Forest Hell.

After several encounters, Yakumo confirmed the identities of the people in front of him.

The Third Kazekage, Ebizo, Pakura, Uchiha Tsuru, and A!

The Fourth Raikage, A!

Who would have thought that the leaders of Kumogakure and Sunagakure were secretly collaborating with Orochimaru to jointly besiege Yakumo here?

"I saved you."

The Wood Release Giant punched Yekura away and spoke.
