Chapter 380 Fire Release: Kagutsuchi, Snake Sage Sasuke
"Hiss... hiss hiss hiss..."
Suddenly, a series of hissing sounds echoed from the drifting white smoke, reverberating throughout the area. Sasuke, standing atop Manda's head, stared intently, his pupils shrinking in shock. "Th-that is..."
Suddenly, a ferocious snake head covered in bone spikes emerged from the white smoke opposite, its size comparable to that of the Ten Thousand Snakes!
But what surprised Sasuke even more was that a second, third, fourth, and even an eighth white phosphorus snake of the same size emerged from the air, followed by white smoke.
Each of the white phosphorus serpents has sharp bone spurs growing on its body, head, and tail. The scales, which resemble snake scales, are also made of white bone. This makes the eight-headed, eight-tailed Yamata no Orochi look like it is wearing a layer of bone armor, making it look majestic, domineering, and terrifying!
At least, the giant snake, facing it, looked so lonely and isolated...
"Hahaha... Didn't expect that, Sasuke! This is the S-rank forbidden technique, the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique, which combines the power of the Shikotsumyaku. With this, I finally have the confidence to fight against the Mangekyou Sharingan. Come on, let me see what other eye techniques reside in your other eye!" Almost at the same time as Sasuke's shock, Orochimaru's voice rang out again.
However, to avoid being attacked by Amaterasu, Orochimaru's true form did not appear; instead, it was unknown which snake was inside him.
"I see. Although they look intimidating, you're still afraid of those eyes." Suddenly, Sasuke exhaled a breath of stale air and regained his confidence.
Yes, that's right. He also has the strongest physical attack eye technique, Amaterasu. Although Orochimaru is difficult to deal with in this state, he's not without a chance of winning!
"That arrogant, self-important attitude again! Sasuke, you really are a lot like Itachi. But I hate that condescending, indifferent look on your face, so now, I'll make you truly understand the pain of losing your comrades..."
Seemingly enraged, Orochimaru's voice gradually turned into a frenzied and furious roar, and a white phosphorescent snake head slammed towards Sai and the other two who were bound by Crystal Release.
"Damn it!" Sasuke's face turned pale upon seeing this, and he immediately focused his left eye and unleashed another burst of power, "Amaterasu..."
In an instant, howling black flames reappeared, covering the white phosphorus serpent. Just when Sasuke thought everything was foolproof!
"Slap... slap slap slap..."
Suddenly, a layer of white phosphorus bone armor, resembling snake skin, emerged from the white phosphorus snake's head and fell off piece by piece, each piece of white phosphorus bone armor carrying away a bit of Amaterasu Black Flame.
With just one swoop, countless black flames burned the bone armor, causing it to fall to the ground, while the ferocious maw of the white phosphorus serpent had already reached Sai.
"How can this be repaired?!"
Upon seeing this, Sasuke's eyes widened in fury, and he roared in anger. His mind was filled with the urgent desire to save them. His right eye twitched violently, and bloody tears streamed down his face. Fukurei Shinju, "Fire Release: Kagutsuchi..."
In an instant, as Sasuke's right eye technique erupted, the wisps of black flame surrounding the White Phosphorus Serpent's bone armor, which were about to dissipate, suddenly contracted and transformed into a long black flame blade that pierced across the White Phosphorus Serpent's body.
In the next instant, the white phosphorus serpent, propelled by inertia, had no time to react or dodge before being cleaved in two by the black flame longsword, its body lying lifeless on the spot.
At the same time, Sasuke's right pupil contracted and his eye power erupted once again!
The black flame longsword changed shape again, transforming into countless black flames that adhered to the crystal and burned rapidly. Just as it was about to incinerate the clothes of Sai and the other two, it vanished into thin air...
"Bang bang bang..."
Suddenly, the thin crystal covering Sai and the other two's bodies shattered. Although they were also slightly burned by Amaterasu, none of them were seriously unable to regain their mobility.
"Captain Sasuke..."
"Thank you, Captain!"
Having survived the ordeal, the two ANBU members immediately expressed their gratitude, looking at Sasuke, whose eyes were filled with blood and tears and whose face was pale, with great approval.
With a squad leader who never abandons his subordinates, they would cooperate with their captain to complete the mission even if it meant their own death!
Sai didn't speak, but he still looked at Sasuke with gratitude in his eyes, then opened the scroll and wielded his brush, "Ninja Art: Super Beast Imitation Painting..."
Suddenly, a large black eagle burst out of the paper, and Sai immediately sat on it and soared into the sky, intending to provide aerial assistance.
The other two members of the secret service were also experienced. They exchanged a glance, immediately retreated to create distance, and waited for an opportunity to strike.
They clearly can't participate in the current battle, so instead of causing trouble for the captain here, they should observe, build up their strength, and adapt to the situation.
As for the actions of the three, Sasuke and Orochimaru remained motionless, their eyes fixed intently on each other, ready to strike.
"Left eye Amaterasu, right eye a dojutsu that alters the form of Amaterasu? That's enough, I finally know the information about your Mangekyou Sharingan." Suddenly, a white phosphorus serpent opened its huge mouth, and Orochimaru's figure appeared from it, his eyes showing smugness.
As long as it's not a genjutsu like Itachi's Tsukuyomi or a space-cutting eye technique like Junto or Kakashi's Kamui, then there's nothing to be afraid of.
The biggest fear for ninjas in battle is the lack of information, especially when facing an extremely dangerous unknown eye technique like the Mangekyou Sharingan.
"Heh, the cowardly fellow who's been hiding has finally dared to show his face? What, you're not afraid of my Mangekyou Sharingan now?" Sasuke pretended to be nonchalant when he saw Orochimaru, enduring the discomfort in his eyes.
While using Amaterasu and Fire Release consecutively wouldn't necessarily cause his eyesight to deteriorate, his eyes were still dry and painful. Especially since he had just awakened these two eye techniques and didn't know the full extent of their effects, his eye power was being severely depleted…
"Then you can try. Let's see if your Amaterasu burns me to death first, or if I capture you first." Orochimaru remained noncommittal and fearless. He was confident that he could defeat Sasuke now.
Well, as long as the opponent doesn't unleash power like Susanoo, he's confident he can obtain that perfect vessel through a war of attrition...
"Really? You're that confident?" Sasuke secretly assessed the strength of both sides, then revealed a strange smile and clapped his hands together.
"What is this??" Orochimaru frowned upon seeing Sasuke's actions. Sensing the floating natural energy around him, his expression changed drastically, and he had a vague sense of foreboding.
"Orochimaru, do you think I'm only good for these eyes?" Sasuke sneered coldly, then focused all his energy on connecting with nature, causing his body to change rapidly.
The next instant, to Orochimaru's astonishment, Sasuke's black hair suddenly grew longer, and white bone horns sprouted from both sides of his head.
A similar purple eyeshadow appeared at the corner of his eyes, extending to both sides of his nose, and a white phosphorescent snake tail emerged from behind him, swaying and flicking, exuding an aura of immortality...
"Snake form! This is the Snake Sage Mode from Ryuchi Cave!!"
In an instant, seeing the training that even he himself had not completed materialize on Sasuke, Orochimaru broke down and screamed.
Knowing the terrifying power of Sage Mode, he understood at this moment that he could no longer treat Sasuke as a vessel. His opponent had now completely surpassed him!
"Then tell me about Itachi and Akatsuki! If the information is true, I can abandon my mission to hunt you down." Seeing that Orochimaru had been intimidated, Sasuke calmed down and, remembering the real mission, shouted in a low voice.
His Sage Mode is just for show now; it won't last long in a real fight before it's exposed...
