Chapter 378 Sasuke VS Orochimaru, Hard Control of Manda
"Why is it impossible? Do you really think my ninja skills are inferior to Uchiha Itachi's?" Seeing Orochimaru's exclamation of surprise, Sasuke felt a surge of satisfaction, his gaze mischievous. All the emotions he had suppressed were finally released at this moment, his sharp edge flashing forth!
"Or is it that seeing me, this vessel you've been toying with so freely, slipping out of your control, you're afraid...?"
"Afraid? Heh, what a joke! I am Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha. How could I be afraid of a fledgling Uchiha like you!" Orochimaru immediately dodged the pair of eerie Mangekyou Sharingan and growled menacingly, allowing Kabuto and Guren to witness his loss of composure for the first time.
Is the Mangekyou Sharingan really that terrifying?
"A fledgling Uchiha? Sorry, that was before." Sasuke didn't care what they thought, and scoffed at Orochimaru's resentment. "Now, that fledgling of mine has evolved into an eagle, a being that will make you tremble in despair!!"
"Disgusting guy, you used your saliva to plant a curse mark on me before, did you really think you were so powerful? In the end, you just couldn't get Itachi's body, so you turned to bullying me, a fledgling loser."
"In order to obtain the Sharingan from the Uchiha clan and to satisfy his own desires and ambitions, he conducted inhumane experiments. He did not hesitate to turn himself into a monster, constantly changing bodies to obtain power that did not belong to him."
"Orochimaru, you're such a disgusting guy that you make me want to vomit. I can't stand anything you've done..."
Sasuke unleashed a series of furious shouts to vent his dissatisfaction. His eyes turned bloodshot, lightning crackled around him, and he drew his longsword to strike first.
"Start the operation." Almost at the same time as Sasuke's outburst, Sai behind him gave a low shout, pulled open a scroll, and quickly drew a black snake that lunged straight at Orochimaru.
The other two members of the ANBU also acted decisively, drawing their long swords and charging towards Kabuto and Guren from the left and right respectively.
"Ninja Technique·Latent Shadow Multi-Snake Hand..."
In the blink of an eye, just as Sasuke unleashed his Lightning Release armor and rushed in front of Orochimaru, Orochimaru suddenly swung his hand, and several long snakes shot out from his sleeve.
"Puff puff……"
In a flash, Sasuke's longsword, swift as a dragon, sliced through the three venomous snakes lunging at his face. At that very moment, Sai's black snake also coiled around the other snakes, distracting them and buying him a chance to strike.
Without hesitation, Sasuke charged forward with his long sword, his gaze meeting Orochimaru's crimson eyes and golden snake pupils. "Genjutsu: Sharingan..."
Almost simultaneously, just as Sasuke activated his genjutsu, Orochimaru suddenly gave a strange smile, and white bones suddenly sprouted from his chest and back, maximizing his defense.
At the same time, ten bone bullets whistled towards them like bullets, allowing Sasuke to quickly perceive them with his Mangekyou Sharingan and parry with his sword.
"Why? Why didn't you fall for my Sharingan genjutsu??" Sasuke did a backflip to create some distance, then frowned at Orochimaru, who looked like a hedgehog, in confusion.
So that's the Corpse Bone Pulse? It's really troublesome. In that case, physical techniques and swordsmanship will be hard to use!
"Heh, do you really think I'm completely unprepared to face the Mangekyou Sharingan?" Orochimaru sneered coldly, the thin membrane under his eyelids reflecting the sunlight.
"However, Sasuke, I'm certain of one thing now: your eyes are indeed inferior to Itachi's." Ignoring Sasuke's gloomy gaze, Orochimaru spoke again, his expression greedy. "Those Mangekyou Sharingan must have just awakened. Otherwise, what you just did wasn't a genjutsu attack, but a unique Mangekyou Sharingan technique!!"
"So Sasuke, this might be the best time for me to obtain the power of the Uchiha clan." With a sinister grin, Orochimaru dispelled his apprehension about the Mangekyou Sharingan, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. "Your Mangekyou Sharingan body, I'll take it!"
Before he finished speaking, Orochimaru charged forward like an arrow released from a bow. He had to capture Sasuke, the perfect vessel, no matter what.
If he misses this opportunity, he might lose the chance to possess the power of the Uchiha clan forever once the other party awakens their own Mangekyou Sharingan.
"Damn it..." Seeing Orochimaru closing in for close combat, Sasuke gritted his teeth, sheathed his long sword, and formed hand seals. "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique."
With a deafening roar, flames shot into the sky. To Sasuke's astonishment, Orochimaru passed right through the Fireball Jutsu and accelerated again, forcing Sasuke to draw his sword and counterattack.
Even with his Mangekyou Sharingan's ability to defend himself like a hedgehog, coupled with the bone spikes that constantly emanated from his body from various angles and his unconventional soft-body attacks, Sasuke still faced numerous dangers and nearly suffered a humiliating defeat, despite his Mangekyou Sharingan's insight and the speed boost from his Lightning Release Armor.
"Is that all? Aside from those different eyes, your strength is nothing special. To be honest, you've disappointed me a bit! Sasuke-kun..." Orochimaru forced Sasuke back once again, his mockery reaching its peak.
"So, are you going to try out the curse mark I gave you now?"
"Cursed Seal?" Sasuke's gaze turned cold and disdainful upon hearing this. "I abandoned that inferior Sage Technique long ago!"
"You actually know that the Cursed Seal is a Sage Art!!" Orochimaru's pupils shrank, his face filled with horror, but before he could say anything more, Sasuke suddenly bit his finger and quickly formed hand seals. "In that case, let's try this."
"Ninja Art: Summoning Technique..."
With a bang, white smoke rose, and to Orochimaru's astonishment, the familiar purple Manda appeared out of thin air, its ferocious roar exuding immense pressure.
"It's Lord Manda! How is this possible? How could Sasuke summon Lord Orochimaru's summoning beast?" Over here, Kabuto Yakushi's face turned pale when he saw Manda, realizing something was wrong.
Although Honglian was equally horrified, she wasn't particularly surprised! Instead, she was eager to go up and continue the battle from last time.
As for the secret agents who attacked the two? Heh, they're currently awaiting judgment in a crystal-clear pentagonal prison!
"Hey! You brat, who are you? Orochimaru's disciple??" Manda growled angrily, his emerald green eyes staring directly at Sasuke, ready to give him a hard time.
Sasuke, however, completely ignored the bloodshot glint in his eyes. "Manda, is it? I'm not Orochimaru's disciple! Now, shut up..."
The moment the final sound fell, Manda's emerald green snake eyes trembled violently and transformed into a scarlet, eerie six-pointed Sharingan.
The next instant, Manda stared coldly at Orochimaru, his entire body tense and ready to strike...
"Is this the power of the Sharingan? Even Orochimaru-sama fears Manda, yet in his eyes it's just a tool he can control at any time." Kabuto Yakushi exclaimed in shock, experiencing the terror of the Sharingan for the first time.
“No wonder Lord Orochimaru regarded that guy as the perfect vessel.” Guren was also convinced, but that didn’t mean she would compromise with Sasuke.
With a resolute look in her eyes, Guren instantly appeared in front of Orochimaru, staring directly at Sasuke. "If you don't want your entire army to be wiped out, you're welcome to try..."
"Crystal Release: Crimson Lotus!!"
Sasuke's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. He turned around and saw that Sai and his two other subordinates were bound by Crystal Release, their lives hanging by a thread...
