The white phosphorus snake seemed to have stopped moving.

Uehara Naraku frowned, his expression turning grim. He kicked the White Phosphorus Serpent's head, saying, "It's not going to die like this, is it?"

The next second, Uehara Naraku's expression changed drastically. He suddenly drew his purple chakra broadsword, and the White Phosphorus Serpent turned out to be just an empty shell!

Are you kidding me?

Orochimaru transformed directly into a white phosphorus snake, leaving behind an empty shell. Was it for the purpose of escaping?

Suddenly, a hand reached out from underground and grabbed Uehara Naraku's ankle tightly: "Got you, brat! Earth Release: Heart Decapitation Technique!"

"That's so insidious!"

Caught off guard, Uehara Naraku was pulled underground by this C-rank ninjutsu, leaving only his head on the ground.

Damn, I can't believe something like this actually happened.

He was actually hit by the mental decapitation spell.

Uehara Naraku almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He had just seen a cunning genius ninja like Uchiha Itachi a while ago, so how could he have forgotten about him when he was fighting Orochimaru?

This guy is much more cunning than Itachi Uchiha.

"I wouldn't have the heart to kill you, brat!"

Orochimaru chuckled lightly, licked his lips, and then suddenly transformed into countless small white snakes, swarming towards Uehara Naraku on the ground.

Orochimaru wanted to absorb Uehara Naraku.

The next second, the white snakes swarmed around him, and Uehara Naraku on the ground disappeared without a trace. The white snakes could only regroup and transform into Orochimaru's appearance.

Orochimaru slammed his hand down on the ground, sensing the chakra within the soil. His brow furrowed involuntarily: "...What's going on? I can't sense that brat's chakra?"

A purple light suddenly entered Orochimaru's eyes!

A purple chakra broadsword suddenly sprang from the ground and slashed toward Orochimaru's neck. After he narrowly dodged it, it also cut a long, thick wound in his chest, from which blood almost gushed out!

Uehara Naraku reached out and placed an explosive tag on Orochimaru's wound, which at first glance looked like a large band-aid.

"Boom!"

Uehara Naraku reappeared in front of Orochimaru, and even opened his mouth to provide a voiceover for the explosion of the explosive tags.

Boom!

The detonator exploded instantly!

Orochimaru was blasted away, blood and bits of flesh flying everywhere!

However, after one explosive tag was detonated, ten more explosive tags appeared.

When Orochimaru saw the ten explosive tags appear, his eyes widened in disbelief, a flicker of fear crossing them: "This is... the Mutual Explosive Tags Technique?"

"I don't know anything about the technique of multiplying explosive tags, but this is just a little trick I use to play with explosive tags."

Uehara Naraku spread out his palms, looking very magnanimous: "Orochimaru-senpai just gave me ten thousand explosive tags. We Akatsuki people never owe favors. Now I'm returning the favor tenfold, and we're even."

Ten explosive tags were then summoned to produce one hundred more explosive tags, and in the blink of an eye, one hundred thousand explosive tags were summoned from this area, tightly adhering to Orochimaru's surroundings.

Orochimaru sighed helplessly, "I thought I overestimated you, but I never expected..."

At this moment, even the Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique couldn't protect him!

That leaves only one last technique that ensures absolute invincibility!

"The Eight-Headed Serpent Technique!"

Orochimaru's body instantly swelled up, transforming into a giant serpent tens of meters tall, with eight enormous heads shaking and hissing back and forth on one body!

This is Orochimaru's ultimate forbidden technique!

The power of the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique is comparable to that of a Tailed Beast. As long as it has one head, it will not die. This is the source of Orochimaru's confidence in countering the Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags Technique.

At this moment, Orochimaru is the Yamata no Orochi.

After the explosion of the detonating tags, the heads of the Yamata no Orochi fell to the ground, and Orochimaru's body was spat out from one of the heads.

Orochimaru appeared somewhat weak at the moment, as this life-saving ninjutsu had consumed a significant amount of his chakra and stamina.

Uehara Naraku said with great interest, "I thought Orochimaru-senpai would attack me with such a powerful technique!"

"snort…"

Orochimaru gritted his teeth but didn't answer. He clasped his hands together and began the summoning hand seals: "Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu!"

He is not yet proficient in using the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique, which could easily lead to his body going out of control and internal collapse. Rather than forcibly using the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique, it would be better to summon another big guy!

"Come forth, Manda!"

Orochimaru stared coldly at Uehara Naraku, then slammed his palm on the ground, creating a huge summoning seal.

A colossal creature leaped out of the psychic seal!

The colossal serpent, its forked tongue flicking, surveyed the battlefield, its eyes gleaming with ferocity and cruelty: "Orochimaru, what brings you here? If you don't satisfy me, I'll kill you right now!"

Of the three legendary Sannin of Konoha and their summoning beasts, only Orochimaru had a very bad relationship with his summoning beast Manda.

This is also related to the nature of snakes.

They don't have much loyalty to begin with.

"Hahahaha..."

Before Orochimaru could say anything, Uehara Naraku burst into loud laughter: "Orochimaru-senpai, it seems your summoning beast isn't very obedient!"

"Um?"

Manda lowered his head slightly, seeing the tiny Uehara Naraku, and flicked his tongue, saying, "Kid, what are you? How dare you say such things to me..."

Uehara Naraku slowly flew into the air, staring at Manda's disdainful gaze. His hands slowly began to form hand seals: "And who do you think you are!"

"Is this brat going to summon Pain again?"

Orochimaru's expression was rather unpleasant. He hurriedly sat on top of Manda's head and began to recover his chakra, preparing for battle in his best condition.

Uehara Naraku looked up at Orochimaru, who was standing on Manda's head recovering his chakra, and said with a slight smile, "Don't worry, Orochimaru-senpai. Since you want to choose a summoning beast duel, as your apprentice, I will naturally fulfill your wish."

Orochimaru frowned and muttered to himself, "Is it that shark that can destroy souls again? Manda should be able to take care of that shark..."

"Ninja Art: Summoning Technique!"

Uehara Naraku completed his summoning hand seals.

A beam of light appeared from his hand, shooting brilliantly into the sky.

Uehara Naraku was somewhat amused and exasperated: "Why does this guy's entrance come with its own animation effects?"

Just as Orochimaru was somewhat surprised, he suddenly saw an unimaginable incantation appear on the ground!

The range of this spell is several kilometers, so what kind of monster does Uehara Naraku want to summon?

Do such large summoned beasts really exist in the world?

"The hero... has arrived!"

A deep, resonant voice boomed in everyone's ears like a thunderclap!

A tall figure flew over like a falling meteor. It didn't look particularly tall, but it exuded a powerful aura!

When it landed heavily at the center of the incantation, the incantation, which stretched for several kilometers, shattered in an instant!

No, it wasn't the incantation that shattered, but the entire earth!

For several kilometers, everything from forests and trees to boulders and beasts was thrown into the air by the force of the tall humanoid creature's impact with the ground!

The shattered earth was blasted into countless clods of earth!

Even the Thousand Snakes were not spared from being blasted away; before they could even make a move, their bodies were already out of control.

A flicker of fear crossed Manda's eyes as he cried out in panic, "Orochimaru, what is that thing? What monster have you provoked?!"

"I don't know either..."

Orochimaru shook his head with a serious expression, but when he saw that Kabuto Yakushi's body had also been blasted away, he still stretched out his arm and saved Kabuto.

Fortunately, Kabuto Yakushi had already been awakened by the tremor, though his expression showed fear and terror: "Cough cough... Lord Orochimaru, what's going on?"

Orochimaru didn't answer, but watched as Uehara Naraku's body flew towards the tall figure that appeared on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "What exactly is that brat's summoning beast?"

The dust from the ground shaking gradually dissipated.

Uehara Naraku's summoning beasts also revealed their true forms.

Uehara Naraku stood atop the head of his summoned beast, a bright smile on his face, and called out loudly towards Orochimaru and the others, including Manda: "Let me introduce it to you all. Its name is Galio."
