Chapter 69 Disaster of The Numerous Snakes

The sudden disruption of the connection with the shadow clones threw Logan's previously orderly offense and defense into disarray, causing his movements to become somewhat chaotic.

A vast amount of information returned to his brain as the Chakra from the dispersed shadow clones surged back into his body. Caught off guard, a white snake with tremendous force slammed into him, knocking the kunai from his left hand. The yellow eyes of the other white snakes that were not seriously injured lit up. They keenly caught the opportunity, and everyone rushed forward excitedly when they smelled the fishy smell of blood!

Logan quickly steadied his movements. The kunai in his right hand plunged fiercely into the eye of one of the white snakes, eliciting a sharp and agonizing hiss. Meanwhile, another white snake eagerly climbed up his left arm. The chilling sensation of its touch made Logan shiver. With a sudden burst of strength, he flung the white snake off, but the next moment, another snake wrapped around his body.

When his movements were also restricted, the situation became uncontrollable. In just a few moments, Logan went from effortlessly handling the situation to being overwhelmed. At least seven or eight white snakes joined forces to bind Logan up like a dumpling.

Crack.

The body of the large white snake watching from the side had completely transformed, resembling some kind of nourishing shell. Two pale hands stretched out from within, grabbing the thin snake skin and tearing it apart. With a splash, a naked human body emerged.

"Hehe."

Orochimaru, still covered in mucus, sneered as he looked at the white dumpling in front of him.

Sizzle...

A trace of electricity leaked out from the rice dumplings made of white snakes.

Orochimaru's expression changed, but the mocking expression still lingered on his face. Then, blue lightning suddenly descended like a sword cutting through the darkness.

All the wrapped white snakes were all burnt to a crisp and flung away by the intense voltage. The glaring electric light shone unobstructed, illuminating the room as bright as day. Everything was bathed in a jumping blue light, and the crackling sound of lightning resonated through the air. The lightning snakes roamed, causing the table lamp on the workbench to burst with a bang, spraying sparks into the air like a fountain.

With Chakra outputting madly, Logan's face darkened as he took a step forward.

Bang bang bang...

The sound of glass shattering was even more intense than when Orochimaru first appeared. The stray currents pulled onto rows of vessels on shelves, Clang, clang, Clang... like ships in a storm, the restless lightning seemed like an angry god.

The shadow clone sent back not only the information if it being discovered, but also a large amount of chakra, as Logan had not ordered them to engage in battle initially.

Being discovered meant that his time here would be drastically shortened. With one of Orochimaru's clones right in front of him, Logan knew he had no time to play around.

After the initial shock, Orochimaru wasn't frightened by the raging currents. Instead, an even more interested expression appeared on his face.

"So, you're still hiding your true strength..."

Most of the white snakes were roasted to death by the instantaneous peak voltage, but as test subjects, they were very tenacious and hadn't died completely.

Logan had several wounds on his body, but there were no signs of being poisoned. After looking at Orochimaru, who seemed to be indifferent to life and death, Logan pulled out a new kunai and covered it with Lightning Chakra with a completely different speed than before.

At this point, Logan's control over Lightning Release was almost at will. He approached a white snake and swiftly severed its head before it could react. In order to prevent it from regenerating, he didn't remove the lightning currents around him, continuously using an enhanced version of Lightning Release. One by one, the white snakes were effortlessly harvested, their bodies turning into charred remains.

Enveloped in electric light, the lightning snakes roamed, and no living creature within several meters could escape unscathed. At the pinnacle of his speed, Logan's figure seemed to create afterimages, as if this was the domain formed by his mastery of Lightning Release.

The white snakes, which had been fierce just moments ago, were now swept away, and fear finally rose in Orochimaru's eyes. The sudden eruption of this Konoha's ANBU, who used Chakra without reservation, was nothing short of a thunderstorm from hell.

"Orochimaru, I don't have time to waste with you."

Logan walked over, and the electric light gradually converged, with occasional sparks splashing out restlessly.

"The shadow clone I set up when I came in have been dispelled. The Otogakure's Ninjas will soon be searching within the village." Logan said coldly, his face hidden behind his mask. Coupled with the previous thunderous eruption, his words carried significant intimidation.

"So..." Logan paused here, glanced at Orochimaru's hands, and noticed that there was nothing on his pale fingers.

"So you want me to obediently give you the scroll containing the Forbidden Techniques, and then let you escape before a large number of Otogakure's Ninjas arrive?" Orochimaru interjected with a sinister tone, tilting his head, his voice tinged with sarcasm.

Although the strength Logan had just shown was far superior to that of an average Jonin, Orochimaru remained completely unfazed, looking at Logan's eyes with confidence bordering on arrogance.

Logan remained silent. He could imagine that countless torches were now searching the dim streets. Regardless of whether Ishida Kappei's team and Kakashi's team had evacuated or not, their traces of infiltration within the village could not be hidden. At that time, when the Otogakure's Ninja reacted, they would surely be furious.

However, Logan didn't panic. Countless experiences had taught him that anxiety was of no use. He became even calmer, then thought of something, "Orochimaru, you..."

"Hidden Snake Hand!"

Orochimaru bellowed, thrusting his hands forward, and countless pythons surged out like a flood!

Logan's eyes narrowed. He could see clearly that Orochimaru's lower body still had snake's body part attached to it. At this moment, the unbelievably elongated hands he stretched out transformed into numerous snakes.

Without saying a word, faced with the ferocious onslaught of sharp teeth and huge mouths, Logan sneered, not retreating but advancing instead. Since Orochimaru resorted to violence without discussion, he wouldn't waste any more time talking either.

"Chidori!"

Chirping noises filled the ears as the meticulously crafted jutsu was completed in an instant, and the extinguished lightning flashed once again. The blue light streaked from its origin to the point of contact, and the snakes hissed and screamed wildly as they dispersed.

A drop of cold sweat dripped from Orochimaru's forehead. He took a deep breath and, as the Chidori rushed toward him with unstoppable momentum——

"Hiss!"

More crazed snakes surged forth. It was unimaginable how this modified form of Orochimaru's clone could contain so many snakes. The densely packed snakes that can cause trypophobia surged like a tidal wave, overwhelming everything in their path!

Chirp, chirp, chirp...

The Chidori cut through one wave after another, but more and more snakes continued to rush forward, and the electric light gradually began to weaken. When the speed slowed down to a certain level, Logan took a deep breath, no longer persisting, and suddenly stepped back.

The countless large snakes did not stop or hesitate at all. Without the obstruction of the Chidori, they continued to rush madly toward the retreating Logan.

As the lightning faded away, in the moment of peril, Logan pulled out a kunai from behind, and electric currents surged out in concentric circles around his arm.

Without much time to think, Logan threw the kunai with all his strength!
