Chapter : 86
Bang!
Orochimaru's severed body hit the ground, tumbling a few times before coming to a stop. What happened next could only be described as grotesque.
Puff!
From the upper half of Orochimaru's body, a pair of pale, blood-soaked hands emerged, clawing at the air. The hands were quickly followed by a head, a torso, and legs. Within seconds, Orochimaru's body regenerated fully, though it was covered in slick, blood-like mucus.
"The Eight Gates... how do you know this technique?" Orochimaru hissed, his golden snake-like eyes narrowing with intrigue. His sinister smile widened. "The Eight Gates Formation is a forbidden technique sealed away in Konoha's Scroll of Seals. Did you get your hands on it?"
A hint of fear flickered in his eyes. Orochimaru wasn't afraid of just anyone—but the combination of Uchiha Fugaku's apparent mastery of forbidden techniques and the space-time jutsu had piqued his wariness.
"You're working with the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai Ninja, aren't you?" Orochimaru's tone carried both curiosity and suspicion.
"Think whatever you like," Uchiha Fugaku replied, his tone as sharp as the blade in his hand. His ambiguous answer neither confirmed nor denied the accusation.
Orochimaru licked his lips, intrigued. "After your interest in Hashirama's cells, you're now targeting the Kaguya clan's Shikotsumyaku? You're just as fascinating as you are dangerous."
"Enough talk," Fugaku interrupted coldly. His Mangekyō Sharingan spun dangerously. "You've crossed the line. It's time to pay the price."
Without further warning, Uchiha Fugaku dashed forward, his blade flashing in the moonlight as he aimed for Orochimaru's neck. His speed was blinding, enhanced by the power of the Eight Gates.
Orochimaru's smile didn't falter. Instead, his mouth opened unnaturally wide, and from within emerged the legendary Kusanagi Sword, held firmly in his mouth. The blade shimmered with a deadly edge as Orochimaru's neck stretched unnaturally, striking like a serpent.
Clang!
The Kusanagi Sword clashed against Fugaku's katana, slicing it cleanly in half. Orochimaru wasted no time, lunging toward Fugaku with the intent to kill.
Fugaku discarded his broken sword and sidestepped Orochimaru's attack with ease. He retaliated with a fiery punch, his fist igniting as it tore through the air.
Bang!
Orochimaru was sent flying, his body slamming into the ground. Yet Fugaku frowned—his punch had landed, but the impact felt disturbingly soft, as though he had hit a sack of dough.
Orochimaru rose slowly, completely unharmed. "You're fast, but I'm not so easy to kill," he sneered.
"Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!" Orochimaru extended his arm, and from his sleeve erupted a swarm of venomous snakes, their fangs bared as they lunged at Fugaku.
Fugaku's fists blurred as he struck the air with incredible speed. The friction generated flaming projectiles that took the shape of fists.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fiery strikes obliterated the snakes one after another, their charred remains falling to the ground. Before the smoke could clear, Fugaku vanished from sight, reappearing beside Orochimaru with blinding speed.
"Primary Lotus!" Fugaku aimed a devastating kick toward Orochimaru.
"Summoning Jutsu: Triple Rashōmon!" Orochimaru slammed his hands onto the ground.
Boom!
Three enormous, demonic gates rose from the earth, blocking Fugaku's attack. The force of the collision sent shockwaves rippling through the battlefield, but the gates held firm.
"You'll have to try harder than that," Orochimaru taunted, retreating as he prepared his next move.
"Open! The Seventh Gate: Gate of Wonder!" Fugaku's voice roared through the battlefield. His body radiated blue energy, and steam rose from his skin as his power surged to new heights.
"Hirudora! (Daytime Tiger!)"
Fugaku unleashed a massive shockwave in the form of a white tiger, its roar echoing across the battlefield as it tore through the Triple Rashōmon and barreled toward Orochimaru.
Boom!
The white tiger collided with Orochimaru, obliterating everything in its path. The ground cracked and splintered, and Orochimaru's body was torn apart, his severed limbs scattering in every direction.
For a moment, all was silent. Then, from the largest chunk of Orochimaru's remains, a pair of bloodied hands emerged once more.
Puff!
Orochimaru reassembled himself, his body coated in the same slimy substance as before. His golden eyes burned with fury as he glared at Fugaku.
"You've forced my hand," Orochimaru said coldly.
"Yamata no Jutsu! (Eight-Headed Serpent Technique!)"
Orochimaru's body began to transform. From his shoulders emerged enormous white serpent heads, their fangs glinting ominously in the dim light. His body expanded rapidly, growing to an immense size as eight serpent heads and tails sprouted from his form.
Within moments, Orochimaru had transformed into the legendary Yamata no Orochi, an eight-headed, eight-tailed serpent of monstrous proportions. The ground trembled beneath the weight of his colossal form.
"You've pushed me further than anyone has in years," Orochimaru's voice echoed from the mouths of all eight serpent heads, a chilling blend of rage and admiration. "But now, you face the full power of the Yamata no Orochi!"
The eight serpent heads lunged toward Fugaku in unison, their combined speed and size creating a force that shook the earth.
Fugaku's Mangekyō Sharingan spun faster, its pattern glowing ominously. He stood his ground, his body enveloped in a blazing aura of blue energy.
"Let's see if your forbidden technique can withstand the full force of the Eight Gates," Fugaku said, his voice calm but laced with deadly intent.
As Orochimaru's massive serpent heads descended upon him, Fugaku prepared to deliver his most devastating attack yet.
