Chapter 432 Get out
Orochimaru had suffered piercing wounds before, but he had never felt such dread as this. It was a completely different feeling from having his heart squeezed; his whole body went cold, and all his senses became dull and rigid. Then, an indescribable dull pain surged through him, a pain even Orochimaru couldn't understand where it came from—he clearly didn't have a body!
This brat... can he really see through and destroy souls?
"Naruto-kun, you always bring surprises every time we meet."
As one of the Legendary Sannin, Orochimaru still carried some weight of seniority, and didn't show any weakness despite being threatened like this. This was his third time facing Naruto, and based on past information, if Naruto truly wanted to kill him, he wouldn't have delayed this long; the kid probably still had something he wanted him to do. Demonstrating strength before negotiating terms is a common tactic in the ninja world, and in Orochimaru's opinion, Sasuke's mind was far simpler than that of the scheming Naruto.
"Likewise, I didn't expect to see you here either." Naruto didn't let go. He could share a body with Kurama inside Sasuke, but he couldn't stand Orochimaru constantly jumping around in front of him.
At this moment, he was already thinking about when to throw the person out. Should he wait for Sasuke to find this place on his own, or take advantage of Sasuke's moment of relaxation to pull the person in?
Before Naruto could make any further moves, a bright light suddenly flashed across the empty darkness, and a hurricane and thunder arrived together, stirring up huge waves on the once calm sea.
Naruto was startled and tightened his grip slightly, causing Orochimaru to wince in pain. If Orochimaru weren't useful, he would have killed him already instead of letting him go.
The emotions that could cause ripples in their sea of consciousness were already intense enough; such a massive surge must mean something terrible had happened outside. While they were fighting Orochimaru, their sea of consciousness had indeed stirred, but nothing nearly as violently as this.
"What's gotten into this kid this time?" Nine-Lama was speechless; even someone as large as him could be swayed from side to side by the waves.
Naruto remained silent, a thought flashing through his mind, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
Could it be... that the worst has happened?
Taking advantage of Kurama's distraction in his sea of consciousness, Orochimaru quickly concealed himself, looking for an opportunity to escape. He had just been in excruciating pain, almost to the point of splitting apart, and was now completely convinced that Naruto truly had the ability to kill him. With such a dangerous person, now was the perfect time to run!
However, he somewhat underestimated the power of the Vajra Chains. Even after he shrunk, the chains bound him tightly, and in no time he was dragged to Naruto's feet by the chains.
"What exactly do you want me to do?" Orochimaru was so confident because he was certain that Naruto had no intention of killing him.
"I want you to do what you most want to do." Naruto looked at the lightning-streaked sky, his eyes filled with worry.
Orochimaru paused, then grinned and sneered, "You mean you want to take over this body?"
A brief flash of golden light appeared in Orochimaru's eyes as he looked over. After so many battles, Orochimaru finally got to taste Naruto's killing intent.
"Orochimaru, you know what I'm talking about. Go out now, and there should be a container outside that you absolutely won't refuse. If it weren't for the fact that the caster must be willing to release the Reaper Death Seal, I wouldn't have kept you here until now."
"None of us can see what's going on outside right now, so what makes you so sure?" If Orochimaru's part of him went outside and didn't find a vessel quickly enough, he would truly die. Of course, he would try to save his own life, but unfortunately, Naruto wasn't someone to be trifled with.
"Then let me put it another way." Kurama's tail swayed, and his shadow completely enveloped Orochimaru. The restrained tailed beast chakra erupted instantly, filling the space and forcefully suppressing the waves in Orochimaru's sea of consciousness.
"Get out!"
The power of a Tailed Beast usually erupts in response to the sudden changes in the Jinchūriki's emotions. Tailed Beasts with a good relationship will resonate with the Jinchūriki's emotions, while Tailed Beasts with a bad relationship will seize the loopholes created by the emotions and take the opportunity to break through the seal.
Kurama was an acquaintance of "Hui," and they all knew that this tailed beast might care more about Naruto's life or death than they did, so it wouldn't be surprising if it unleashed its power alongside Sasuke at this moment. However, the summoning location they chose was really bad; they couldn't let Sasuke and Kurama cause trouble here.
Just now, they brought the offerings and runes, allowing the nearly collapsed Sasuke to perform the Impure World Reincarnation technique, but... the jutsu failed! And the way it failed was so unbelievable that even Tobirama found it incomprehensible.
Everything was prepared correctly, but the offering was not taken away by "death," and Naruto's soul did not respond to the summons at all.
Before they could figure it out, Sasuke's chakra went berserk. Hashirama reacted very quickly, but before his Wood Release sealing technique could be completed, Sasuke collapsed, clutching his shoulder.
A giant, white-phosphorus snake with a human face emerged from Sasuke's cursed seal. It froze upon seeing the group of people standing in the room, but then suddenly felt a heavy blow to the back of his head. In this unexpected turn of events, the first to react was Mikoto, who was closest to Sasuke. Although she kicked Orochimaru without a word, her angry face and the force of her kick clearly said: Stay away from her child.
The white phosphorus serpent was kicked right into the bound White Zetsu clone. Orochimaru had seen those things before and had longed to study them, but he had never been able to catch those slippery little creatures. He finally understood what Naruto meant when he said that. He immediately adjusted his posture, shrinking his body several times over, and thus managed to squeeze through the gap in the Wood Release technique, plunging headfirst into the clone's mouth.
The scene was chaotic.
While Hashirama was busy binding Orochimaru, he also kept an eye on Sasuke's condition. Tobirama instantly flashed to Naruto's bedside, dragging him into a corner, ready to leave at any moment. Izuna was already enveloped in a layer of purplish-black chakra, his gaze fixed on the "sacrifice," ready to take Orochimaru down with a single strike. Mikoto caught the collapsing Sasuke; Orochimaru's escape was the final straw, and he completely lost consciousness.
