Familiar Feeling

"Wow, seems like I'm not late to the party. But something seems a bit different from what I imagined." Just when Tsunade was troubled and bewildered by Orochimaru's proposal, a voice suddenly appeared, causing everyone to look over.

"You..." Orochimaru looked at the figure that had just arrived. A trace of greed flashed in his eyes, especially when he met Ryoha's eyes.

"Orochimaru, did you regret the outcome of our battle before?" That figure was Ryoha. After recovering from his injuries, he immediately looked for Tsunade. Fortunately, he was not late. He witnessed Tsunade's strength and also heard the conversation between the two.

After finding out the situation was completely different from the original work, Ryoha once again realized that this world was not an anime but an actual, different world. Most of his knowledge might be obsolete.

"Sharingan? Strange, he should belong to the Uchiha clan, but why do I feel a familiar aura from him? It's similar to my grandfather's aura but not as strong."

Tsunade looked at Ryoha, whom she had met for the first time. She didn't care much about Ryoha's Sharingan. He wouldn't be surprised by an Eternal Mangekyo, let alone a mere Sharingan. But as the descendant of the founding fathers of Konoha, she was a bit curious about Ryoha's familiar aura. She also felt that there was still something she didn't know about the Sharingan.

"I didn't expect this. You're so blessed. You actually have such a terrifying Bloodline Limit. As you continue to grow, you can use different kinds of Bloodline Limits and special powers." Orochimaru had his own intelligence corps. Although it might not be the best, it was enough for him to obtain some important pieces of information. Therefore, he knew everything that happened to Ryoha in Konoha.

"What? How could there be such a ridiculous Bloodline Limit?" Shizune couldn't believe what she heard. Even Orochimaru himself, who already knew about it before, could not believe it. However, the information was true. He had also asked Kabuto to personally investigate it. Only after confirming that the information was correct did he gradually accept this fact.

He was also wondering why he was so arrogant to let Ryoha go from his hands. His body was better than Sasuke's. No, it was even better than Kimimaro's body.

"Ah, is that so?" Ryoha opened his Mangekyo and unleashed the Nine-tails chakra from his body. At this time, Tsunade realized that there was one more aura released from Ryoha's body. It was the Life Force emitted by the Wood Release's chakra.

"What? How can you use the First Hokage's Wood Release?" Orochimaru was still shocked by Ryoha's Mangekyo, but when he suddenly heard Tsunade's words, he was even more stunned. He knew that he would never be able to get Ryoha's body again.

Although he did not want to admit it, he was in no position to fight Ryoha. His soul was getting weaker after the Third sealed his hands using the Dead Demon Consuming Seal. He was no match for Ryoha, who now had the Mangekyo.

" The Wood Release? Well, I just awakened it recently. I can't use it just yet. But on my way here, Orochimaru, I met your old enemy Itachi. I managed to defeat him, though. I even won our Sharingan and genjutsu battle, even though he used the Amaterasu and the Tsukuyomi."

"Haha, today is the best day to settle our previous grudges. Paralysis Genjutsu!" Ryoha knew that the best way to deal with Orochimaru was to use a genjutsu with his Mangekyo. If he just used ninjutsu and taijutsu, Orochimaru would counter them with his endless forbidden techniques, and it wouldn't cause any substantial damage to his tampered body.

"Ugh!" Orochimaru's expression changed. In the past, he was defeated by Itachi's Mangekyo, who used the same Paralysis Genjutsu.

"Now, you should believe that I really defeated Itachi. Sorry, but I can even beat the person that defeated you. Now it's your turn, Kyubi Odama Rasengan!" Ryoha condensed a huge Nine-tails Rasengan in his hand and directed it at Orochimaru.

"Crap!" Orochimaru's face was very pale. Even if he was not injured, facing the Mangekyo was very dangerous. Unless he used the Eight-headed Serpent Jutsu, he would be restrained by the power of the Mangekyo. He didn't know what would happen if he faced it in his current weakened condition.

"Rumble!"

When the Kyubi Odama Rasengan hit Orochimaru, it created a huge explosion. A circular sphere of energy covered him and Ryoha. A crater was formed in the aftermath.

"This is really troublesome. I didn't expect him to be able to escape even though he couldn't use Ninjutsu. It looks like he used the Reverse Summoning Jutsu."

After the smoke dispersed, only Ryoha was there. Orochimaru and Kabuto had already escaped, but the ground was still covered with blood. It was unknown whether it was Orochimaru or Kabuto's. Orochimaru's hands were currently sealed, but Kabuto could help him form some seals.

Therefore, at the last moment, Kabuto used another form of Summoning jutsu, the Reverse Summoning jutsu. He summoned a big snake that swallowed the two of them and then returned to the place where the big snake originally was, just like how Jiraiya used his toads to transport him to Mount Myoboku.

"Heh, you are actually able to defeat Orochimaru. No wonder Orochimaru wanted to get your body so much. Other than the Mangekyo, you also possessed the Nine-tails chakra and Wood Release power. You are really terrifying. But, you also attracted a lot of attentions."

Tsunade looked at Ryoha in surprise. However, he immediately understood why Orochimaru lost so miserably. It was not that he was weak, but his soul was already broken. It was difficult for him to resist Mangekyo's genjutsu. Moreover, he was in a weakened state now.

That was why he lost so miserably. Tsunade could also sense Ryoha's faint Wood Release power since she was a descendant of Senju Hashirama. But she didn't know why she could awaken her Wood Release power.

Tsunade felt like she was facing her dead grandfather. Of course, the ancestors of the Senju clan chose family bonds, and Uchiha's ancestors chose power. Therefore, although the people of the Senju clan came from one lineage with a few connections, they were all people who attached great importance to familial bonds.

They were different from the Uchihas, who could kill their own brothers just for power. Now that Tsunade had lost all her relatives, Ryoha, who had the same aura as her grandfather, naturally gave her a familiar and intimate feeling. Therefore, although she was in a bad mood, she still tried to persuade Ryoha.
