Chapter 43
The Death of the Great Serpent?
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, the charred humanoid object crashed to the ground.
At the four corners of the purple barrier, the bodies of the four black-robed figures trembled visibly.
"This guy...this guy...actually...killed Lord Orochimaru!"
"The Uchiha clan... is terrifying!"
Although the training at Root instilled little personal emotion in these ninjas, the scene unfolding before them was incredibly impactful! Moreover, it wasn't about personal feelings, but rather a pure shock stemming from the profound understanding of ninjas!
A ten-year-old boy killed Orochimaru!
No one would believe this if it got out!
"Do we... still need to maintain this barrier...?" A man in black robes looked at the figure standing on the field and unconsciously swallowed.
"this……"
"Go back and report to Lord Danzo!"
After some discussion, the four of them finalized their plan. Then, they warily watched Uchiha Mo, intending to escape in different directions the moment the barrier was broken.
Mo glanced at the black-robed man who made the decision, ignored him, and went to the mud sculpture to pull out the Futsu-no-Mitama and put it back in its sheath.
The next moment, the Four Purple Flame Array slowly dissipated, but before the black-robed people could react, a black shadow darted out like an arrow!
They were instantly stunned, because the person who escaped was... Uchiha Mo!
Immediately afterwards, a chilling sound of skin tearing echoed through the woods. The charred corpse slowly split open, and then…
A brand new, wet Orochimaru crawled out of it.
Orochi-style Substitution Technique!
"Lord Orochimaru..." The Root ninjas were stunned.
What's going on?
Orochimaru narrowed his snake-like eyes, ignoring them, and stared straight in the direction Uchiha Mo had left. He didn't chase after him, but instead whispered in a hoarse voice.
"This is really interesting... He seems to know I'm not dead... Mo Jun, I'm becoming more and more interested in you. Just what can your eyes see that I can't...?"
As he spoke, Orochimaru once again licked the corner of his lips with his long, narrow tongue, but this action, combined with the wet, sticky substance covering his body... looked particularly disgusting...
Even the Root ninjas turned away uncomfortably, but Orochimaru seemed unfazed, whispering:
"Such a perfect body...it's truly mesmerizing..."
the other side.
Uchiha Mo's pupils contracted slightly as he turned to look behind him, then frowned in disappointment.
"They didn't follow us...?"
As he spoke, he looked up at the forest above, which was filled with all sorts of shuriken, kunai, and wind demon shuriken. Many of the kunai and shuriken had a red and white explosive tag attached to them, all of which were high-quality items he had obtained from Granny Cat.
It was also a burial item that Mo carefully prepared for Orochimaru!
Uchiha Mo knew that Orochimaru had a disgusting and life-saving technique called the Orochimaru Substitution Jutsu, so his Lightning Release: Shadow Clone Jutsu was meant to be delivered to Orochimaru's mouth, to control him at a crucial moment, and to see if he could stop the Substitution Jutsu from being used.
Unfortunately, Orochimaru ultimately used this move to avoid fatal damage.
The reason Mo was able to know the result in advance was because the panel showed no activity...
Orochimaru is an extremely rare ninja who possesses all seven attributes of the Five Elements and Yin-Yang. Although he is not a specialist in any one of the ninjutsu, based on my understanding, his proficiency in Wind Release, Earth Release, and Yang Release is definitely not low.
However, there was no change at all on the panel, so Mo could naturally guess that Orochimaru was not dead.
"Fine, Orochimaru isn't Danzo's dog. After this encounter, Danzo should behave himself. At least he shouldn't make a move until he has a better plan or more henchmen. However..."
As he spoke, Danzo's gloomy face appeared in Uchiha Mo's mind.
"I won't be at peace until this stray dog is eliminated..."
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than footsteps came from the woods ahead.
Mo immediately looked up and saw Zhishui, looking anxious, leading a slightly hunched old man rapidly approaching.
Seeing Mo standing there unharmed, Shisui immediately showed joy. He used a teleportation technique to appear beside Mo and quickly asked:
"Nisan, are you alright? I was worried you couldn't handle it, so I called the Grand Elder."
During their conversation, Uchiha Setsuna also came to their side. He raised his somewhat cloudy eyes and looked Mo up and down before whispering:
"Mo, what exactly happened?"
Uchiha Mo, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword, calmly said, "Nothing much, just a stray dog coveting the power of the Uchiha clan."
Upon hearing this, Setsuna narrowed his eyes, and after a moment's thought, asked in return, "Was it Shimura Danzo? He attacked you?"
"It was him, but it was Orochimaru who made the move. He was in the forest, but he's already escaped."
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyelids twitched violently.
"Orochimaru?! You were just fighting Orochimaru?"
Mo glanced at the shocked expression on Mo Na's face, then nodded expressionlessly.
Uchiha Setsuna glanced at the nonchalant Mo and swallowed hard in disbelief.
"You're actually able to fight against the Three Legendary Sannin... No, if it were you, it wouldn't be surprising..."
She didn't know how to describe her feelings at that moment, but Mo's heart didn't feel much turmoil.
In reality, Mo was very clear about his own strength. If it were a head-on confrontation, his current basic stats were still far from those of a Kage-level expert...
At least in today's battle, if his basic stats had reached the threshold of Kage level, Orochimaru wouldn't have survived... but that's reality.
He is not strong enough, and he is far from it.
This is Mo's own perception, but he also doesn't think he's any worse than anyone else.
"Snapped!"
Suddenly, he placed his right hand on Mo's shoulder, his expression turning firm and somber, his eyes fixed intently on Mo's.
"Since Danzo dared to attack you, he's declaring war on the Uchiha! Come with me, we'll take men and wipe out Root! Since he's already called on Orochimaru to fight, even Hiruzen Sarutobi can't say anything!"
In an instant, a fierce killing intent erupted from those cloudy old eyes. It was as if his most beloved junior had been bullied by an outsider, and he was determined to get revenge no matter what terrible cost he had to pay.
Their eyes met, and the air fell silent.
"..."
Mo looked away and suddenly turned around.
"No need. Revenge only has meaning when I do it myself..."
After saying that, Mo lowered his head and looked at Zhishui.
"I'm entrusting Shisui to you, Elder."
"ink……"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Setsuna hurriedly raised his hand as if to say something, but Mo had already vanished from the spot in a flash...
With a dull thud, the charred humanoid object crashed to the ground.
