Chapter 60 Orochimaru: Nani, Mangekyō Sharingan

"Hum hum...

What you need is the Earth Scroll! I happen to have one. Now, let's risk our lives. The scroll battle has begun..."

Orochimaru pulled out an Earth Scroll, swallowed it mysteriously, then covered his face with a grotesque laugh. The eyes between his fingers sharpened instantly...

An overwhelming killing intent surged toward the three of them through those eyes. They felt a wave of horror wash over them, like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood crashing into their hearts.

"If that's all you've got, then you're a bit lacking!"

Naruto stepped forward, protecting Sakura behind him. The Nine Tails' chakra erupted from him, breaking through Orochimaru's killing intent in an instant.

Orochimaru's murderous spirit felt like a younger sibling compared to the Nine Tails' evil.

'The power of the Nine Tails? Dou is right; a perfect Jinchūriki indeed. However, my target is not you.'

Orochimaru felt the evil and tyrannical chakra, his pupils shrinking as he secretly regretted it.

"Humph... As I said just now, if you look at me with that disgusting gaze again, I will kill you! Now, let's fight for the scroll."

Sako spoke indifferently, a look of disgust on her face. The three-pointed jade in her eyes spun quickly, her scarlet eyes locking onto Orochimaru. She raised her hand and threw a few shurikens.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique..."

The moment Sako threw the shuriken, she quickly completed the hand seals and unleashed a massive fireball from her mouth.

Seeing this, Naruto didn't rush to intervene; instead, he picked up Sakura and left the area in an instant.

"Hehehe... Using Fire Style in front of Wind Style ninjas is not a good choice! Wind Style: Great Breakthrough..."

Orochimaru retreated tens of meters leisurely. After seemingly instructing them, he made a hand sign and shouted in a low voice.

In an instant, a hurricane similar to the previous one spewed from Orochimaru's mouth once more.

Sako's Great Fireball was instantly blown back by the gust of wind. Moreover, the wind borrowed the power of the fire, and the fire assisted the wind...

The condensed Great Fireball was swept away by the hurricane, morphing into a monstrous sea of flames that surged toward Sako.

"Hateful... I forgot about this guy's Wind Style! There's no way to avoid it. If I can't escape, I'll have to break through quickly. Open the door..."

Realizing she couldn't evade the encroaching flames, Sako's eyes sharpened. She hid behind a giant tree and shouted softly.

The Eight Inner Gates hidden within Sako's body burst open, breaking through the first gate in an instant.

But that wasn't all; Sako quickly formed hand seals, and with one hand, a chorus of thousands of birds rang out.

Lightning Style: Chidori rapidly formed in her hands.

"Drink..."

Sako shouted, holding Chidori in her right hand. Her Sharingan locked onto the target as she opened the door to speed up. In an instant, she turned into an afterimage and dashed toward Orochimaru.

Orochimaru, standing across the sea of flames, sensed something was wrong as he heard the sound of Chidori.

However, he was confident he could dodge the attack, so he didn't pay it much mind. On the contrary, Chidori's appearance made him appreciate the container he desired even more.

At that moment, Sako quickly appeared before Orochimaru, leaving afterimages in her wake.

"So fast..."

Orochimaru saw a black shadow approaching and only had time to block it with his arms before being blasted away by Sako's Chidori with immense force.

Orochimaru, struck by the attack, skidded along the ground, leaving behind a trench several meters long, lying there—dead or alive.

"Solved!"

Sako paused slightly, out of breath. After closing and opening the gate, her scarlet Sharingan fixed firmly on Orochimaru.

She was sure she had hit him just now. No one could survive that kind of injury.

[Sako, you learned the first gate of the Eight Inner Gates so quickly. Your progress is truly remarkable...]

Naruto stood on a nearby tree, observing the battle with keen interest.

'Naruto's eyes! Why... why are they blank?'

Sakura stood beside Naruto, looking at his ferocious white eyes, feeling inexplicably horrified.

Naruto, of course, noticed her expression but didn't care about it. He had copied these abilities not to hide them but to apply them in battle. Otherwise, what was the point?

Naruto wasn't worried about any leaks. Did she really think his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and Doraemon were mere decorations?

"Hehehe... Sako Uchiha, you are incredible! Your body is perfect for my reincarnation. I've truly found a treasure..."

Orochimaru, now back on his feet, turned his head suddenly, staring at Sako as if he had gone mad, laughing wildly.

Then, under Sako's horrified gaze, he opened his mouth wide, and a hand stretched out from it.

Then another hand, and soon his entire body emerged.

In a few seconds, a brand new Orochimaru stood before Sako—not the disguised Otonin, but Orochimaru in his true form.

"You... what kind of monster are you??" Sako stared nervously at the pale, black-haired, snake-eyed Orochimaru.

"A monster? Maybe I am! Now, the game is over. I accept your body..."

Orochimaru's copper-yellow snake pupils reflected undisguised greed as he licked his lips and spoke with madness.

As he finished his last word, Orochimaru's neck elongated rapidly like a snake's body, his snake-like head lunging toward Sako.

Under Sako's watch, the ferocious snake teeth gleamed with a cold light...

'Have you given up? That's fine! After I place a curse mark on you, I can reincarnate using your body. Sharingan, I'm finally going to possess you.'

As Orochimaru saw Sako frozen in place, the thought crossed his mind.

Just when that thought flickered, Sako looked at Orochimaru's head rushing toward her, a sneer curling at the corners of her mouth.

'Whatever monster you are, if I destroy your head, you cease to exist!'

Sako was sure. Her scarlet Three Tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly.

In an instant, the three black tomoes in her pupils aligned, and the Mangekyō pattern of a six-pointed star emerged.

"Nani... Wa, Mangekyō Sharingan!"

As Orochimaru's head, now close at hand, froze in disbelief, he shouted in shock.
