Wood Release!

"Could it be Yamato?"

If Danzo finds out, he'll probably completely break ties with Orochimaru, right?

It feels like everyone's trying to take advantage of the group's resources.

Danzo, you are such a good person!

Immediately afterwards, a somewhat dull-looking young ninja leaped out of the shadows and landed steadily beside Orochimaru, protecting him behind him.

"Lord Orochimaru, are you alright?"

Yamato asked with concern.

In his mind, Orochimaru should have been able to easily defeat Uchiha Sō.

However, after a fierce battle, Orochimaru not only failed to quickly defeat Uchiha Sō, but also seemed to have been injured and was now at a disadvantage.

As for Uchiha Sō, he did not try to break free from the Wood Release's restraints, but instead took the opportunity to carefully sense the characteristics of Wood Release ninjutsu chakra.

He discovered that, in terms of binding effect alone, even Yamato's weakened version of Wood Release was superior to many Earth Release ninjutsu used by elite Jonin.

What surprised Uchiha Sho even more was that he could feel that the Wood Release was not only absorbing his chakra, but also had a slight suppressive effect on the chakra of the Ten-Tails larvae in his body.

No wonder Hashirama Senju could defeat tailed beasts as easily as fighting babies back then.

Uchiha Sho sighed inwardly.

"Yamato's Wood Release, which has been weakened countless times, still has this effect. I can't even imagine how powerful the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, must have been at his peak, using Sage Mode in combination with Wood Release."

Thinking of this, Uchiha Xiang couldn't help but feel a deep sense of awe for Senju Hashirama's strength.

At the same time, he also began to think about the gap between himself and Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths.

How terrifying must this mastermind, who has been hiding in the Pure Land and controlling the ninja world for nearly a thousand years, be!

After gaining a slight understanding of the effects of Wood Release, Uchiha Zō began to take action.

He channeled the spatial power of his Mangekyou Sharingan into the Kusanagi sword in his hand.

With a flick of his wrist, the wooden stakes binding him were cleanly severed.

"this……?"

Yamato was slightly taken aback upon seeing this. He was secretly astonished: "This is the legendary Wood Release! How could it be so easily defeated?"

However, Uchiha Sō merely curled his lip and said disdainfully, "Your Wood Release is far inferior to the First Hokage's. Step aside, this is none of your business."

Upon hearing this, Yamato wanted to form hand seals and use Wood Release again, but Orochimaru pressed down on his shoulder from behind.

"Lord Orochimaru?"

Yamato turned to look at Orochimaru with some confusion.

Orochimaru gave Uchiha Sō a wicked smile and said, "It seems you've grown quite a bit over the years! That really surprises me."

Uchiha Sho responded calmly, "This is nothing. You'll be surprised later. Orochimaru-kun, it's better for everyone if we continue to cooperate."

"Then I'll have to see if you're qualified to continue working with me!"

Orochimaru grinned, his eyes gleaming with cunning and anticipation.

"Wasn't my previous record good enough?"

Uchiha Sō asked in return.

"Cooperate with me? Of course, I'll have to verify it myself."

Orochimaru smiled and then gestured for Yamato to step back.

Then he slowly bit his finger, quickly formed a hand seal, and whispered:

"Spirit Spell!"

As a massive plume of white smoke surged forth, Uchiha Sho felt the earth tremble slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a low hissing sound came from the white smoke.

"Orochimaru! You didn't even give me the offering from last time, so why did you summon me again?"

A hoarse, angry voice echoed through the smoke.

Orochimaru's hoarse voice came through the smoke at just the right moment: "This time it's different. Don't worry, the offering will be presented later!"

As the smoke gradually dissipated, a giant purple serpent, like a moving mountain, coiled before Uchiha Sō.

Its scales shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight, as if inlaid with countless purple gems.

"Ten Thousand Snakes!"

Uchiha Sho recognized the giant purple snake at a glance.

It is Orochimaru's strongest summoning beast—Manda, the snake king of the Ryuchi Cave's body-strengthening school!

Looking at the giant purple serpent, which resembled a colossal mountain, Uchiha Eboshi showed no fear whatsoever.

On the contrary, his eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation.

He slowly sheathed the Kusanagi sword at his waist, knowing that ordinary swords, kunai, and senbon would be of limited effectiveness against such a giant summoning beast.

Therefore, Uchiha Sō must change his tactics.

Standing atop Manda's head, Orochimaru, arms crossed, smiled sinisterly and spoke.

"Zang, let me see your technique for dealing with tailed beasts?"

Uchiha Ei ignored Orochimaru. In the past, he would have had to pilot a "mecha" to deal with such a giant summoning beast.

Now, that might not be the case!

Black and white chakra surged from his body and converged between his palms.

With Ichiraku Otsutsuki as his research "material," how could he not study the "Truth-Seeking Balls"?

Although his current abilities are insufficient to create the complete "Truth-Seeking Ball," creating a weakened version of it should not be a problem.

Manda looked down at Uchiha Sho and asked Orochimaru with some displeasure.

"Hey, Orochimaru, is this the brat you're dealing with?"

"Do I even need to summon this great master?"

Orochimaru spoke with a serious expression.

"Don't underestimate this kid. He even beat up the Six-Tails Jinchuriki."

"Hmm, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Manda let out a haughty snort, then his body twisted rapidly, his massive form moving as nimbly as a cannonball as he lunged fiercely at Uchiha Elephant.

Chapter 84, Monster

Rumble...

A series of deafening roars echoed through the dense forest, as deafening as thunder.

Stones flew everywhere, trees broke, and dust that blotted out the sky seemed to envelop the entire world.

Every twist and turn of Manda was comparable to a top-tier A-rank Earth Release ninjutsu, demonstrating its astonishing speed and power.

The entire land seemed to dance to the rhythm of ten thousand snakes, trembling violently.

The forest was utterly devastated by its rampage, and the deafening roars sounded like nature's lament, denouncing the serpent's atrocities.

After raging for quite some time, Manda finally stopped. Its cold, serpentine eyes flashed with disdain as it sneered, "Orochimaru, where's that technique you mentioned that can deal with tailed beasts?"

Orochimaru's gaze swept back and forth across the ravaged woodland, trying to find traces of Uchiha Eboshi amidst the billowing dust.

However, the smoke and dust blurred his senses, making it impossible for him to accurately detect Uchiha Zō's aura.

His solemn expression betrayed his state of mind, which was filled with doubt and unease.

He didn't know why Uchiha Sō hadn't yet used that powerful technique to fight Manda.

Did he think he could fight against the Ten Thousand Demons with his own strength alone?

When did Uchiha Zō become so stupid?

Everyone knows that the most effective way to deal with large summoned beasts is to summon a large summoned beast in return.

Secondly, they rely on powerful ninjutsu to attack.

Conventional physical techniques are often useless when facing large summoned beasts.

Unless, of course, Uchiha Zō's target is not Manda!

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, a swift figure suddenly leaped out from Manda's belly, rushing straight towards Orochimaru like a bolt of lightning.

"So they really came for me?"

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed instantly, staring intently at the approaching Uchiha elephant.

Uchiha Elephant in mid-air rapidly formed hand seals and uttered a low shout: "Secret Technique: Void Absorption!"

Orochimaru was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

What exactly is this unheard-of secret technique, "Void Absorption"? And what is its function?

Uchiha Sō, who was almost upon Orochimaru, stretched out his hands from afar.

His hands seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, emitting a faint blue light.

"what?"

Orochimaru suddenly sensed a fluctuation of space-time ninjutsu, and an irresistible suction force pulled him toward Uchiha Sō.

The two were not far apart to begin with, and at this moment, under the effect of a sudden, unexpected force, Orochimaru was caught off guard and pulled in front of Uchiha Eboshi.

Uchiha Eiko, who was prepared, struck Orochimaru in the chest with a palm strike, and a powerful sealing force instantly surged into Orochimaru's body.

"Contract sealed, spirits repelled!"

Orochimaru looked down in astonishment and saw sealing techniques spreading out from Uchiha Sō's palm like a spider web, quickly covering his chest.
