After all, the only way ahead is upwards.
Thinking of this, Orochimaru's heart gradually relaxed, and with a burst of deep tiredness ca from within, he just rested against the boulder for a while.
In a distance, behind a tree, Kisa quietly watched Orochimaru.
Orochimaru is undoubtedly a genius scientist. During his lifeti, the developnt of Hashirama cells was only one of his many research achievents.
Cursed seal, Impure reincarnation, the eight branches... Orochimaru's attainnts and experience in many ninjutsu are very precious, which makes Kisa very envious.
Not to ntion, if he can get Orochimaru's insight and experience of the Eight branches, it will be of great help to Kisa.
That's why he followed Orochimaru, and planned to subdue the latter and bring him back to Kirigakure to torture and interrogate him.
However, just when Kisa was about to attack.
'Hmmm?'
He suddenly found that he was not the only one who followed Orochimaru, and the other party attacked earlier than him.
'Swish!'
A kunai flew like lightning from a distance and went straight to Orochimaru. The latter was bowing his head, as if he was too tired and fell into a deep sleep.
Just as the kunai was about to pierce Orochimaru's face, he suddenly opened his eyes, tilted his head to the side, and ducked in the nick of ti.
Imdiately afterwards, Orochimaru rolled on the spot and hid aside.
Almost at the sa ti, the kunai that was inserted into the crevice of the big rock, that had an explosion tag tied to it exploded with a loud bang, blasting the huge rock into countless pieces.
"Who is it? Co out!"
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and stared at a bush not far away, only to see a figure rush out and land on the opposite side of him.
It was a tall man wearing a headscarf and a mask, and Orochimaru couldn't see his face clearly, but he had the forehead guard of Taki Shinobi on his forehead.
However, it was slashed horizontally, indicating that this person was a traitor.
'Kakuzu.'
So ti ago, Kakuzu, as a bounty hunter who was addicted to money, was attracted by the 300 million ryo on Kisa's head, and secretly sneaked into the Land of Water, preparing to assassinate Kisa.
As a result, as soon as he entered the gold exchange office to get information, he ran into Kisa destroying the gold exchange place. In just one encounter, Kisa destroyed a heart and he escaped by luck.
Kakuzu was frightened by this and imdiately gave up his plan to assassinate Kisa, and instead focused on the two Konoha traitors, Danzo and Orochimaru, so he ca to the Land of Rain.
A day ago, he sneaked into Agakure, hid in the dark like Kisa, and followed Orochimaru all the way.
"Are you really Orochimaru?"
Kakuzu stared at Orochimaru for a few tis, then took out the Bingo book for comparison, and nodded with satisfaction, "As expected of the forr Konoha Sannin, your bounty is as high as 60 million ryo, this ti I earned big amount."
Hearing his words, Orochimaru was stunned for a mont, and then he realized that he was targeted by a bounty hunter.
"He really don't know what is good for him."
Orochimaru smiled coldly, his pair of golden snake pupils glowed with cold light, exuding a strong killing intent.
He was chased and defeated by Nagato, Obito, Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, and now even a small bounty hunter dared to co to him and brazenly wanted to take his body to collect the reward.
Orochimaru was chased and defeated all the way, and his heart was full of fire. he can vent his anger on this guy.
Thinking of this, he made a sudden move, and with one move, he summoned a large number of poisonous snakes from the sleeves of his hand towards Kakuzu.
In the face of this move, a general Jnin can't even resist, they only to be killed in seconds.
However, to Orochimaru's surprise, Kakuzu sneered, and a large number of strange black lines shot out from his arms.
'Shhhhhh.'
These black wires flew forward, they are extrely flexible and are as sharp as steel wires, forming a large net that cut the venomous snakes one by one.
'Rustle.'
None of the snakes summoned by Orochimaru survived, they were cut into several pieces and fell to the ground. After struggling for a while, the stumps stopped moving.
Seeing this scene, Orochimaru was surprised.
'What kind of ninjutsu is this?'
He has always been well-inford and can identify thousands of ninjutsu, but this strange black wires used by this man is sothing he has never seen before.
Kakuzu spoke again, and asked Orochimaru in a deep voice:
"What about Danzo who defected with you? That guy's body is also worth 60 million ryo. However, if I deal with both of you at the sa ti, it may be a little troubleso for . Forget it, that's fine, I will kill you first, and add a fresh heart, I found you at the right ti."
When he finished speaking, he tore off his clothes, revealing his body stitched up with black threads, and then walked towards Orochimaru step by step.
"You are"
Orochimaru's pupils suddenly shrank, his figure suddenly retreated, and he blurted out the other party's na, "Taki traitor - Kakuzu!"
"Oh? I didn't expect anyone to recognize . I am really surprised."
Kakuzu stopped in his tracks, feeling surprised. He was very curious about this. As Orochimaru had never seen him before, so how did he find out his identity.
"You are a repeat offender of Taki, you were supposed to be imprisoned in Hozuki Castle, but you escaped from there and returned to Taki to kill all the high-level officials and take away their Kinjutsu."
Orochimaru stared at Kakuzu as his eyes flickered and analyzed, "It stands to reason that you are in your seventies now, but you are still middle-aged, presumably because of the Earth Grudge, right? I heard that it is a way to make soone immortal, when I heard you say that you want to take my heart, I believe it is how you beca immortal."
The reason why he locked on his identity so quickly was because he was very interested in the Earth Grudge, and had collected a lot of relevant information about it.
'Clap clap.'
After listening to him, Kakuzu couldn't help but clap his hands and say with emotion:
"Excellent analysis! That's right, I'm Kakuzu, a man who once assassinated the God of ninjas, Senju Hashirama, and successfully retreated. By the way, I went to the Land of Water not long ago to assassinate the Demi-God Hoshigaki Kisa, although I failed, I once again successfully escaped with my life. You are not wronged to die in the hands of soone like ."
Kakuzu's boasting horrified Orochimaru, as he didn't expect his record to be so brilliant. If what he said was true, then he was a powerhouse no less than Nagato and sage mode Jiraiya.
Not only Orochimaru was surprised, but even Kisa, who hiding in the dark was also surprised.
When he saw Kakuzu for the first ti, he recognized his identity, but in his mory, it was clear that he had never moved against this guy.
'Is he bragging?'
While Kisa was still wondering, Orochimaru and Kakuzu have already started fighting.
'Swiiiii!'
Orochimaru quickly ford a seal and threw a shuriken forward. The shuriken separated into hundreds of clones and shrouded the latter overwhelmingly.
Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu.
This is an A-level ninjutsu created by Orochimaru's teacher Sarutobi Hizen, which is very lethal and specially used to deal with strong enemies.
Orochimaru had just experienced a fierce battle in Agakure, and used the Orochimaru Substitution Jutsu, consuming a lot of chakra, and was in a state of extre weakness.
Therefore, when facing a powerful enemy of this level, he could only strike first and resolve the battle as quickly as possible, otherwise he would be dood to lose if he dragged on.
Unfortunately, Kakuzu is not a weak ninja.
Earth style Earth shield!
In the face of the incoming Shuriken Rain, he resorted to the earth style ninjutsu, which hardened the skin of his body into pitch black, creating a powerful defense.
'Clang clang clang.'
Those shurikens struck Kakuzu making bursts of tal hitting each other, bursting with dazzling sparks, and finally falling to the ground.
After defusing Orochimaru's ninjutsu attack, kakuzu's's eyes turned cold and he slapped the ground with his palm.
Next second.
Under Orochimaru's feet, a black wire that was attached to the end of his palm erged from the ground, hit Orochimaru's chin, sending him flying high.
kakuzu's body is connected by countless black wires. His wrists, arms, and even his body can be separated at any ti. When fighting an enemy, he can attack from near or far, with unexpected effects.
The Tentacle Punch just now was a tried-and-true move that Kakuzu had tried many tis, and it only needed a single blow to penetrate the enemy's heart. However, he wants to keep Orochimaru's heart, so he didn't kill him.
But this ti, it was Kakuzu's turn to be surprised.
'Boom.'
Orochimaru flew high and fell heavily, but right at the mont he reached the ground, his body like a clay statue, shattered into countless clods.
"Earth style clone jutsu, when did he..."
Kakuzu was startled, and before he had ti to think about it, he felt a strong fishy wind coming from behind him.
He turned around abruptly, and saw a huge python rushing over, opening its mouth, trying to swallow him whole.
"Humph."
Kakuzu snorted coldly, used the earth shield jutsu to harden his whole body again, and used his arms to hold the python's upper and lower jaws so that it couldn't eat him.
However, this big snake is just a feint, it is to let Kakuzu fall into the trap.
Just when Kakuzu was at a stalemate with the snake, Orochimaru's body rushed out of the belly of snake, holding a sharp sword, which instantly penetrated Kakuzu's heart.
"Poof!"
The python turned into white smoke and disappeared. And Kakuzu also fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, clutching the big hole in his heart, his expression extrely distorted and painful.
"How is it possible, even my earth shield jutsu can't resist..."
Kakuzu raised his head with difficulty and stared at the sword in Orochimaru's hand, feeling unbelievable.
"Because this sword is one of the legendary Kusanagi swords, it is sharp enough to pierce everything in the world."
Orochimaru said proudly.
There are three Kusanagi swords in the world.
As a Kusanagi sword collector, Orochimaru has acquired two Kusanagi swords in the past few years.
Not long ago, one Kusanagi Sword that he uses most of the ti was taken away by Kisa. Fortunately, one more remained remained, which won him this life-and-death battle at a critical mont.
However, this duel between the two is destined to have twists and turns.
Kakuzu, whose heart was pierced by Orochimaru, should have died, but he suddenly let out a low roar, and his back bulged high, as if sothing was about to run out of it.
'Shhhhhhhh.'
Under Orochimaru's horrified gaze, four black shadows of different heights shot out of Kakuzu's body and turned into four mask monsters.
On one of the mask monsters, the mask on its face shattered with a click, and fell to the ground.
The remaining three mask monsters represent fire, wind and lightning respectively, and also represent the three remaining hearts.
Kakuzu slowly stood up from the ground, and finally resorted to the Earth Grudge mode.
As he cast the seal, the lightning mask rged into the heart of his body, while the Fire and Wind masks were fused onto his left and right shoulders respectively.
"Is this the secret of Earth Grudge?"
Orochimaru saw this and could see on the spot the characteristics of the Earth Grudge jutsu, which is to achieve immortality by constantly stealing the hearts of others.
And the most surprising thing is that the body can hold multiple hearts at one ti, which ans that he has several lives.
This is similar to the Eight branches jutsu he practiced.
At this mont, Kakuzu, who turned on the Earth Grudge form, without a word of nonsense, launched the most powerful compound ninjutsu attack at Orochimaru.
His body and the two masks on his shoulders opened their mouths at the sa ti, releasing three large-scale ninjutsu. They intertwined with each other to form a dazzling beam of light, sweeping towards Orochimaru.
"Triple Rashomon!"
Facing the terrifying ninjutsu released by Kakuzu, Orochimaru did not dare to hold any reservations, and with a loud shout, he displayed the most powerful defensive ninjutsu.
With this move, the winner will be decided and the battle will co to an end.
Extrely violent chakra fluctuations rose in the valley, and the dazzling light drowned everything.
The three mouths on Kakuzu shot in unison to form a chakra cannon with a diater of more than ten ters, which was powerful enough to destroy a town or a mountain.
Orochimaru, after he ford the seal, he pressed his palm to the ground, draining all the chakra in his body, and finally summoned three huge doors at the critical mont.
'Rumble.'
The three Gates rose from the ground, lined up in a row, and blocked in front of Orochimaru in turn. Each of them is more than ten ters high, and the door is carved with the head of an evil spirit symbolizing death, which is the door of Shura from hell.
