Chapter 269: Cursed Seal Transformation

"Is he... is he dead..."

Endless drifting dust shrouded the entire Sound Ninja Village in front of them. Fuma Sasami seemed to have forgotten her purpose in coming here with Yu.

She originally thought that this white-haired youth might just be boasting, but she didn't expect that with just one encounter, he would wipe out half of the Sound Ninja Village and bury countless of Orochimaru's experiments.

"Of course, it's not that easy..."

"This guy may not have other skills, but his ability to save his own life is absolutely top-notch."

Hearing Fuma Sasami's words behind him, Yu remained calm. He fully activated his Observation Haki, directly relocking onto Orochimaru's figure through the endless drifting dust.

'I almost got killed by him again...'

"You're still as terrifying as ever... Yu-kun."

The drifting dust in front of them finally settled, revealing before Yu and Fuma Sasami three massive and ferocious gates, among which the first two appeared severely damaged, but the last one tightly protected Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto, who had swiftly moved to the side.

"In such a situation, being able to react instantly and summon Triple Rashomon..."

Seeing Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto unharmed under the protection of Triple Rashomon, Yu's calm and indifferent expression remained unchanged. "It seems your strength has grown since the last time, Orochimaru..."

"You're jesting, Yu-kun... My progress is hardly worth mentioning compared to yours..."

Facing Yu's calm and indifferent gaze, Orochimaru remained vigilant, his long tongue greedily licking his lips. "If it weren't for you being stronger than me... I would truly desire to obtain your perfect body..."

"Such a disgusting fellow..."

Seeing Orochimaru's long tongue and hearing his words, Fuma Sasami, who was hiding behind Yu, couldn't help but shudder.

Although she had never personally encountered Orochimaru, one of the legendary Three Sannin, just the chilling aura emanating from the man clad in a woman's body before her was enough to make her break out in a cold sweat.

"Now that you can't even protect yourself... are you still indulging in these wild dreams?"

Feeling Orochimaru's unabashed greedy gaze, a contemptuous smirk formed at the corner of Yu's mouth.

With a slight movement of his finger, a white Pistol Thread had already slashed through the air, like a powerful bullet, bursting towards Orochimaru.

Boom!!

No one could have imagined that with just such a light movement of his finger, such a small white thread could erupt with such immense power.

Although Orochimaru managed to react in time to dodge, the astonishing power of the Pistol Thread still left a deep wound on his face, blasting a huge crater into the ground behind him and Yakushi Kabuto.

"That's not necessarily true... Look over there..."

Seeing the astonishing power unleashed by a mere flick of Yu's finger, Orochimaru's heart sank, but the twisted smile on his face remained unchanged. Instead, he extended his long tongue to lick the wound on his face.

"I see you've released all those experiments I had detained!"

Experiments?

Following Orochimaru's gaze, Yu and Fuma Sasami subconsciously turned their heads.

Due to the devastation caused by Tyrant's Ursus Shock: Air Bullet, which had destroyed most of the Sound Ninja Village, they could see, not far away, the entrance to the collapsed humanoid experimentation facility. Hundreds of humanoid monsters with dark purple skin and jagged horns had already rushed out, sending shivers down their spines.

"These are... 'Cursed Seal Stage Two'..."

Recognizing the identity of these humanoid monsters, Yu's gaze narrowed slightly, then returned to Orochimaru. "I didn't expect that by relying on Tenbin (Bipolar) Jugo's Sage Transformation ability... you've already replicated so many Ninjas in the Cursed Seal state, haven't you?"

"Even the special abilities of Tenbin Jugo..."

"It seems, Yu, you know quite a bit..."

Seeing Yu instantly recognize the identity and origin of these experiments, Orochimaru couldn't help but narrow his eyes. However, his hands had already formed several complex hand seals in an instant. "But it's too late now—Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu!"

This is...

Seeing the hand seals formed by Orochimaru before him, Yu was suddenly shocked. He hadn't expected Orochimaru to have completed the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation at this stage.

Rumble...

As Orochimaru forcefully clapped his hands together, everyone felt a tremor beneath their feet.

Immediately, three massive coffins rose gradually from the ground in front of Orochimaru, emitting a very eerie and mysterious aura.

"Impure World Reincarnation... too slow. I won't let you succeed so easily!"

Although Yu didn't know what kind of beings Orochimaru would summon with the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, if he were to summon top-level Ninjas like the First Hokage Senju Hashirama or the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, things would undoubtedly become troublesome. Therefore, Yu wouldn't give him the chance to successfully cast the jutsu.

Air Door!!

Ice Burst: Pheasant Beak!!

Under Yu's control, a huge circular dimensional door instantly opened in the air before Orochimaru. Toshogun's Elementalized body burst out from within, raising its hand to unleash a massive and brilliant bird made of ice.

Click... Boom!!

The terrifying power of freezing and the force of Explosion Release erupted simultaneously. Just as the three mysterious coffins summoned by Orochimaru had barely risen halfway from the ground, they were frozen solid and then exploded into pieces!

"Tch... destroyed already..."

Seeing his coffins, summoned through the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, instantly destroyed by Yu, Orochimaru's face flashed with a hint of unwillingness. However, seizing this opportunity, he successfully sank into the ground.

"No matter how many times I see it... your Puppetry is always so perfect and fierce..."

"But next, these Cursed Seal experiments... I think they'll entertain you quite well, won't they?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Orochimaru, along with Kabuto by his side, had completely sunk into the ground, disappearing without a trace.

"Gone... disappeared!!"

Seeing Orochimaru vanish, Fuma Sasami, hiding behind Yu, couldn't help but widen her eyes. Even the renowned Sannin Orochimaru, a name known throughout the ninja world, would flee when encountered. Who exactly was this person called Yakushi Yu?

"It doesn't matter... let's not worry about it..."

"After all, our main purpose for coming here this time wasn't for them..."

Seeing Orochimaru seize the opportunity to escape while he prevented the Impure World Reincarnation, Yu had no intention of pursuing. Instead, his gaze shifted to the countless Cursed Seal experiments rushing towards them.

Having destroyed most of the Hidden Sound Village this time, Orochimaru had almost all of his data and collections stored here. Even if that guy escaped, he would probably be grieving for quite some time.

"Hahaha! Finally, they've come out!!"

"Damn Orochimaru! Kill! We must kill that despicable guy!!"

"Kill! Kill everything we see!!"

As soon as Yu's words fell, a series of violent and crazed voices erupted.

Countless pairs of eyes filled with vicious and ferocious intent locked onto Yu and Fuma Sasami. Over a hundred Cursed Seal transformed Ninjas, with dark purple skin and terrifying horns all over their bodies, had already blocked their path.
