Chapter 387 Six Paths Serpent

In Konoha, apart from Jiraiya and Tsunade, no one else knew that Orochimaru had returned.

Orochimaru is currently only in the form of a small white snake, not in human form, and he doesn't have much chakra. Even Hyuga's Byakugan wouldn't easily detect him.

As for Konoha's sensory ninjas, it's not easy for them to find Orochimaru.

Next, they split into two groups. Tsunade went to the Uchiha clan. Once Kaguya invaded Konoha, she would need the power of the Nine-Tails, but the Nine-Tails wouldn't obey her. That's when they would need the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan's territory was still located on the edge of the village. Although the instigator of the Nine-Tails' attack had been identified as Obito Uchiha, the estrangement between the Uchiha and the village still existed.

For the time being, it is unlikely that the Uchiha clan will be able to move back to the center of the village.

Tsunade's arrival at the Uchiha clan's territory caused quite a stir.

After all, Tsunade is now the Hokage, and for the Hokage to suddenly come to the Uchiha clan is obviously not simple.

Fugaku was at home, and while the police department was quite busy, he was feeling rather idle.

In fact, with Hashirama's return to the village, the relationship between the village and the Uchiha clan improved.

It must be said that the First Hokage had considerable personal charisma.

Even though Hashirama lost his power, his influence was still significant.

Fugaku, who was at home, was quite surprised to hear that Tsunade had come to visit.

After all, the Uchiha clan and Tsunade didn't have a very good relationship.

Therefore, Tsunade's sudden visit was quite strange.

However, Fugaku still gave her a grand reception, after all, Tsunade is now the Hokage.

Itachi and Sasuke were also at home, and they joined Fugaku to welcome Tsunade.

All three members of the father and sons have activated their kaleidoscopes.

Nowadays, although some people in the Uchiha clan are dissatisfied with Fugaku, they dare not act recklessly, simply because Fugaku possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan, and both of Fugaku's sons also possess the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Three pairs of kaleidoscopes—that's quite a sight to behold.

However, the Mangekyou Sharingan also varies in strength. Although Fugaku, Itachi, and Sasuke all possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, their Mangekyou Sharingan techniques were far inferior to Obito's dual Kamui.

All I can say is that the dual Divine Might is too overpowered.

As the head of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku did not forgive Obito.

When Fugaku met Tsunade, she revealed her purpose before he could even ask any questions.

Fugaku also witnessed the destruction of the moon and was quite shocked at the time.

Knowing that Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed on the moon, seeing the moon destroyed inevitably makes one think that Kaguya would escape.

Tsunade confirmed that Kaguya had escaped.

Next, Konoha's situation is precarious. Kaguya will invade Konoha sooner or later, and with Konoha's current strength, the chances of winning are slim.

"The Uchiha are also part of Konoha, and they will fight to the end for the village," Fugaku said resolutely.

Fugaku was willing to sacrifice himself for Konoha.

"Konoha needs the power of the Nine-Tails, but the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, Naruto, is still too young to control the Nine-Tails' power," Tsunade said in a deep voice.

Fugaku's expression changed when he heard Tsunade mention the Nine-Tails.

Fugaku understood without Tsunade needing to say more.

This is to get the Uchiha to use the Mangekyou Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails, just like the Nine-Tails' rampage last time.

If the Uchiha clan were to use the Mangekyou Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails again, the villagers would likely panic.

However, after the Uchiha clan controlled the Nine-Tails, the Nine-Tails did not destroy the village but instead protected it, which can be considered a way of whitewashing the Uchiha clan.

Since it was Tsunade who made the suggestion, Fugaku agreed after only a short time of consideration.

……

Naruto was at home practicing ninjutsu, completely unaware that a small white snake had entered his house.

Orochimaru's gaze was fixed on Naruto.

"Does Naruto really have Ashura's chakra? And how strong is Ashura's chakra?" Orochimaru wondered to himself.

Ever since the screen revealed that Naruto was the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra, many people have been keeping an eye on him and have carefully examined whether there is Ashura's chakra in Naruto's body. However, apart from Naruto's own chakra and the Nine-Tails' chakra, no Ashura's chakra has been found.

Therefore, Orochimaru wasn't actually sure if Naruto possessed Ashura's chakra.

However, there is a significant possibility that Naruto possesses Ashura's chakra.

Most importantly, Orochimaru doesn't have many options right now.

Orochimaru was not content to hide any longer; he wanted to defeat Kaguya.

If one could obtain the Ashura chakra and the Indra chakra, and then combine them into one, that would be the power of the Six Paths!
If Orochimaru could obtain the power of the Six Paths, he would become the Six Paths Serpent.

The Ten-Tails hasn't been resurrected yet. Although Kaguya is powerful, if Orochimaru can become the Six Paths Serpent, then defeating Kaguya won't be too difficult.

But the key is the Asura chakra and the Indra chakra.

"If Naruto truly possesses Ashura's chakra, then it's almost certain that Sasuke also possesses Indra's chakra," Orochimaru thought to himself.

Although he doesn't have much chakra left, Orochimaru can still restrain Naruto.

So, the little white snake approached Naruto.

When Naruto discovered the white snake, Orochimaru used the Golden Binding Ninjutsu.

Golden Binding is a technique used to bind a target; it can be either illusion or ninjutsu.

The Golden Binding Ninjutsu is a technique for calming the mind.

As the white snake activated the Golden Binding Ninjutsu, Naruto was unable to move.

Although his body was unable to move, Naruto's mind remained clear, and he could still see and hear.

Furthermore, Naruto knew that he had been hit by the Golden Binding Ninjutsu.

Suddenly, Naruto caught a glimpse of a small white snake out of the corner of his eye.

“This little white snake…” Naruto’s heart skipped a beat.

Thinking of all the things about Orochimaru that had been shown on the light screen, Naruto's heart was filled with unease. He was certain that the little white snake was Orochimaru, perhaps his true form, or perhaps a clone of him.

"Orochimaru?" Naruto felt a surge of tension.

After all, Orochimaru is no simple character.

The Nine-Tails sealed inside Naruto also opened its eyes.

Orochimaru had already used the Golden Binding Ninjutsu on Naruto, so Kurama (the Nine-Tails) naturally sensed Orochimaru's chakra. However, in Kurama's eyes, Orochimaru's chakra was too weak.

This is not surprising, as the Nine-Tails is the strongest tailed beast. Although what was sealed inside Naruto was only the Yang Nine-Tails, which is half of the Nine-Tails' chakra, even this half of the Nine-Tails' chakra is still greater than that of the One-Tails to the Eight-Tails.

Even at his peak, Orochimaru, despite possessing Kage-level chakra, was far inferior to Kurama.

Now, Orochimaru has very little chakra left, making him even less useful in the face of Kurama.

As for Orochimaru's sudden appearance and attack on Naruto, this alerted Kurama, who was also targeting it.
It's no wonder that Kurama thinks that way, given that there are too many people who covet Kurama.

Therefore, Kurama decided to help Naruto.

Although Naruto has the Nine-Tails sealed within him, the Nine-Tails' chakra is not completely sealed; a small amount of chakra can still break through the seal.

Soon enough, some Nine-Tails chakra was seen emanating from Naruto's body. Although this was not good for the Nine-Tails, it was enough to make Orochimaru's expression turn serious.

Without delay, the little white snake leaped up and bit Naruto's neck.

After being bitten by the white snake, Naruto had a curse mark on the spot where he was bitten.

At the same time, the little white snake immediately retreated. Naruto also broke free from the Golden Binding Ninjutsu.

But when Naruto chased Orochimaru outside, he could no longer see him.

Since the matter was of great importance, Naruto immediately went to find Tsunade.

Tsunade was not at the Hokage Building.

Naruto, unable to find Tsunade at Konoha Hospital, went to find Jiraiya.

Jiraiya remained impassive, observing the spot on Naruto's neck where Orochimaru had bitten him, where a unique cursed seal appeared.

Because of the cursed seal, Naruto's body was fluctuating between hot and cold, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Jiraiya couldn't understand the cursed seal Orochimaru left on Naruto.

"Can this cursed seal activate the Ashura chakra within Naruto?" Jiraiya wondered to himself, provided, of course, that Naruto possessed the Ashura chakra.

Because Ashura's chakra didn't appear, even though the screen said that Naruto had Ashura's chakra, Jiraiya was skeptical, or at least not completely convinced.

It's estimated that Orochimaru didn't completely believe it either.

But since the possibility is not small, Orochimaru doesn't mind giving it a try.

So, can the cursed seal on Naruto's neck really unleash Ashura's chakra? Jiraiya expressed his doubts, but Orochimaru had already left the cursed seal on Naruto, so we'll just have to wait and see what happens next.

Of course, this cursed seal may only be the beginning, and Orochimaru may have other plans to follow.

Jiraiya was unaware of Orochimaru's thoughts.

……

Unlike Naruto, Orochimaru failed to harm Sasuke.

After all, Sasuke has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. With Orochimaru's current strength, facing Sasuke with the Mangekyou Sharingan would be suicidal.

So Orochimaru decided to check on Naruto's situation first.

Suddenly, Orochimaru sensed that the cursed seal he had left on Naruto was taking effect.

Orochimaru was immediately overjoyed and went to find Naruto.

When Orochimaru saw Naruto, he immediately noticed a powerful surge of chakra within Naruto.

"This chakra is definitely Ashura's chakra." Orochimaru was overjoyed.

Naruto does indeed possess Ashura chakra, and Orochimaru's cursed seal has successfully activated Ashura chakra.

Looking at Naruto, he has absolutely no control over Ashura's chakra.

Ashura's chakra and Nine-Tails' chakra clashed within Naruto's body.

If Naruto wants to control Ashura's chakra, he will definitely need to undergo rigorous training.

However, Orochimaru would never instruct Naruto in his training.

More accurately, Orochimaru coveted the chakra of Ashura and Indra.

Now that Naruto's Ashura chakra has awakened, Orochimaru went directly to seize it.

Naruto was suffering terribly from the conflict between Ashura's chakra and Kurama's chakra when Orochimaru suddenly appeared, absorbed and seized Ashura's chakra, which made Naruto feel much better.

However, although Naruto didn't know what the chakra that suddenly appeared in his body was, he knew that it was very powerful. If Orochimaru were to gain control of this powerful chakra, it could very well be a disaster for Konoha.

Therefore, Naruto did not want Orochimaru to obtain the powerful chakra that had suddenly appeared within him.

However, Orochimaru was well prepared.

Then, the cursed seal on Naruto's neck absorbed Ashura's chakra, and then a giant serpent named Yamata no Orochi sprang out from the seal.

The more Ashura chakra the cursed seal absorbs, the larger the eight-headed serpent that emerges from it becomes.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, merged with the Yamata no Orochi.

"As expected of Ashura Chakra, it's truly powerful!" Orochimaru clearly sensed the power of Ashura Chakra.

It's also because Naruto is still too young and can't fully control Ashura's chakra, otherwise Orochimaru wouldn't have had such a hard time taking it.

In addition, the Nine-Tails, which clashed with Ashura's chakra within Naruto, also greatly helped Orochimaru.

When the Yamata no Orochi absorbed the Ashura chakra from Naruto, Orochimaru also felt an unprecedented surge of power.

Orochimaru felt that he could now defeat Kaguya, but to be more certain, he also needed to seize Indra's chakra.

……

"Orochimaru?" Sasuke looked at Orochimaru with a serious expression.

Orochimaru transformed back into human form and appeared before Sasuke.

At this moment, Sasuke had already used his Sharingan genjutsu on Orochimaru.

However, despite Sasuke's Sharingan evolving into the Mangekyou Sharingan, Orochimaru was not affected by his genjutsu.

Knowing that the Mangekyou Sharingan's genjutsu was very powerful, Orochimaru dared to appear in front of Sasuke, which meant he was prepared.

If Sasuke thinks he can defeat Orochimaru with a single genjutsu, then he is seriously underestimating Orochimaru.

Orochimaru formed hand seals and unleashed the Ten Thousand Snakes Formation.

In an instant, Sasuke was surrounded by countless snakes.

Orochimaru also launched an attack on Sasuke.

Sasuke used a disguise technique—no, he used Susanoo.

Now that he could activate Susanoo, Sasuke was happy to show off in front of Orochimaru.

However, Sasuke's Susanoo is still not strong enough.

One attack from Orochi nearly shattered Sasuke's Susanoo.

Unable to break Susanoo with one strike, Yamata no Orochi continued its attack.

Sasuke's Susanoo was broken after several attacks from Orochi.

Then, a small white snake bit Sasuke's neck.

Orochimaru left a cursed seal on Sasuke and then waited.

Indra and Asura were brothers and had a deep bond, but they also had great conflicts.

Orochimaru already possesses Ashura's chakra.

In addition, a cursed mark has now been left on Sasuke.

Therefore, Sasuke's Indra chakra surged forth.

Orochimaru was overjoyed to sense that Sasuke possessed a powerful chakra no weaker than Ashura's chakra.

Indra's chakra is right before my eyes.

If Orochimaru were to seize Indra's chakra, then both Indra's and Ashura's chakra would be concentrated within him, allowing Orochimaru to evolve into the Six Paths Serpent.

However, Sasuke possesses a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, which increases the difficulty for Orochimaru to seize Indra's chakra from Sasuke.

However, having come this far, Orochimaru had no intention of giving up.

For a moment, Sasuke was also unable to control Indra's chakra.

The battle didn't last long before Orochimaru successfully stole Indra's chakra from Sasuke.

Just as Orochimaru had imagined, when Indra and Ashura's chakra were concentrated on him, he evolved into the Six Paths Serpent.
