The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

"It seems that we can only let our strength speak for itself."

Both Orochimaru and Kabuto are shrewd and pragmatic people. As long as Hyuga Sawatatsu displays overwhelming strength, the two will naturally cooperate obediently.

Once Kabuto and Hinata Sawatatsu leave, they will naturally have countless ways to control the other party and use them for their own purposes.

"If you can do it..."

Orochimaru was also very curious about Hyuga Sawa's strength, and stuck out his long tongue to lick his lips.

The next moment, the ground beneath Hyuga Zechen's feet suddenly shattered, and a mud-colored snake shot out from the soil. It coiled around Hyuga Zechen's body several times in an instant, using its body to firmly wrap around Hyuga Zechen's hands. Its open mouth lifted up, revealing sharp teeth, and it hissed incessantly less than a foot from its head, allowing Hyuga Zechen to clearly smell the stench emanating from the snake's mouth.

Whoosh!

The ground shattered one after another, revealing the long snake's body. The other end of the snake emerged from Orochimaru's sleeve, twisting up and down like waves.

"It seems that Orochimaru, you haven't learned the lessons you should have from Itachi Uchiha."

Despite being tightly bound by the giant snake, Hyuga Zechen remained calm and composed, even a smile playing on his lips.

"It seems the rumors are true. Itachi Uchiha really did receive orders from the Konoha leadership, not only killing his entire clan but also infiltrating the Akatsuki to gather intelligence for Konoha?"

Upon hearing the name Uchiha Itachi, Orochimaru's expression instantly changed as he recalled the man who had brought him immense humiliation.

The details of Orochimaru's sneak attack on Itachi Uchiha were known only to the two combatants. Now, Hyuga Zechen has revealed them, immediately giving Orochimaru the truth of the matter.

Before Hyuga Zechen could answer, the snake's mouth suddenly opened to an extremely exaggerated degree, swallowing Hyuga Zechen's upper body whole, with a human figure protruding through the snake skin.

Splash...

As the giant snake twisted, the half of Hinata Sawatatsu's body that hadn't yet been swallowed suddenly turned into clear water, clearly just a water clone.

Despite the failed attack, Orochimaru was not discouraged at all. He stretched his right hand forward again, and more than ten giant dark green snakes shot out from his sleeve and pounced on the boulder not far away.

Ninja Technique·Latent Shadow Multiple Snake Hands.

As summoning beasts, snakes are born with extremely powerful sensory abilities. They can not only determine the location of enemies by sensing body temperature, but also use their tongues to send scents into their mouths for olfactory perception. Even before Orochimaru could detect the specific target, these snakes were the first to lock onto Hyuga Sawa's location.

Facing the surging oncoming giant snakes, Hyuga Zechen emerged from in front of the boulder. He spread his five fingers, and a green ball of light condensed, then a green beam of light shot out, causing the giant snakes to splatter blood and flesh wherever it passed, severing them all in two.

"So these are the eyes after the Byakugan is upgraded? I can feel it; it has a powerful eye force that is in no way inferior to the Sharingan."

Upon gazing at Hyuga Zetsu's azure Tenseigan, Orochimaru immediately became incredibly excited.

Perhaps, besides Sasuke, I could try to inject the power of the Cursed Seal into Hyuga Zetsu, and cultivate him into a potential vessel as well?

Orochimaru was naturally very interested in unknown powers.

"Orochimaru, your eyes disgust me!"

Hyuga Zechen formed hand seals, then took a deep breath, and a straight jet of water under extremely high pressure shot out from his mouth like a sharp blade, sweeping towards Orochimaru.

Water Escape · Water Breaks Waves!

Is it the Second Hokage's Water Release ninjutsu?

Orochimaru, who had been resurrected as Tobirama Senju, recognized the water-style ninjutsu at a glance. However, the water blade was too fast, and Orochimaru couldn't dodge it at all. The water blade swept across his waist.

Orochimaru, who was cut in half at the waist, did not bleed a single drop from his wound. Instead, large snakes crawled out of the wound, intertwined with each other, and miraculously healed completely.

Hinata Zechen's eyes narrowed, and he stopped his futile probing. As a large amount of chakra surged and condensed, his azure Tenseigan had already turned into a light purple.

"This is……"

Orochimaru's gaze sharpened as he sensed the extremely powerful chakra emanating from Hyuga Zetsu's body, while Kabuto Yakushi beside him leaped into the river.

Hyuga Zetsu, whose entire body emitted a faint purple light, suddenly had a circle of purple chakra light gather around his head. Then the light dissipated, and a purple beam of light shot out from his pupils, striking Orochimaru with lightning speed.

Purple Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!

This is……

Such a peculiar attack method left Orochimaru no time to react before he was struck by the purple light.

The next moment, a huge orange-yellow ball of light exploded out from Orochimaru's center, and the scorching heat and flashing flames instantly engulfed Orochimaru completely.

"Lord Orochimaru..."

Even as he fled dozens of feet away along the river, Yakushi Kabuto could still sense the escaping power. In Yakushi Kabuto's vision, the earth trembled and cracked, trees and rocks turned to dust in the intense heat, as if the sun had fallen to earth, utterly destroying everything.

Lord Orochimaru, can you survive such an attack?

Even Kabuto Yakushi, who had complete faith in Orochimaru, experienced a significant wavering in his confidence.

Perhaps working under Hinata Sawatatsu would be a good choice?

Chapter 108 Forbidden Technique: Yamata no Orochi

In the blazing orange light, Orochimaru stood motionless, large drops of liquid dripping down his face, seemingly already dead from the power of the Tenseigan.

However, once the dazzling light faded, it became clear that it was just an empty shell, collapsing piece by piece.

By shedding his skin in a manner similar to that of a snake, Orochimaru successfully escaped from underground and is now traveling deep into the earth, emerging from the ground again at a distance of more than ten feet.

"Such a powerful eye technique is simply wonderful..."

Orochimaru, his body still covered in slime, swayed as he stared at Hyuga Sawatatsu with fervent eyes.

"Hum hum……"

Orochimaru let out a sinister laugh, and then his entire body began to twist wildly, as if something was about to emerge from within him.

Oh?

Using the Tenseigan's X-ray vision, Hyuga Zetsu had already seen what was inside Orochimaru's body—a strange giant snake with eight heads and eight tails.

Forbidden Technique: Yamata no Orochi?

First, large chunks of white flesh burst out of Orochimaru's body, and then, as he twisted wildly, they grew larger and larger, even causing a violent tremor when his body landed.

It was an eight-headed giant serpent with thick, sharp spikes covering its back. The eight heads hissed incessantly, revealing a full set of sharp teeth, with saliva snaking down from their mouths. Behind the serpent's body were eight tails that stood tall, resembling giant gray spikes. Yet, they all shared the same body, making the Yamata no Orochi appear ferocious and terrifying.

"Lord Orochimaru, he's even using this move..."

Kabuto, who had already hidden in the distance, was pale-faced. Having followed Orochimaru for a long time, he naturally understood what this meant.

Faced with the overwhelming wild aura, Hyuga Zechen clasped his hands together, green chakra dancing on his body like flames, and chakra beads condensed and swirled around his body.

"Spiritual communication!"

Hyuga Zetsu, having entered the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, pressed his hands together, causing the ground beneath his feet to tremble violently. A massive Hamura statue burst forth from beneath Hyuga Zetsu's feet, its surface also completely covered by Tenseigan Chakra.

The Yamata no Orochi's yellow vertical pupils within its dark eye sockets were filled with malice as it dragged its massive body toward Hyuga Zetsu.

As the Hamura statue charged toward the Yamata no Orochi, the five chakra beads suddenly merged into one, and Hyuga Zetsu reached out, raising the golden light sword formed by the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion high into the sky.

With a hiss, the white snake head, its mouth wide open, lunged forward, only to be knocked off course by a punch from the Hamura statue and then swept past by a golden lightsaber.

Bang!

Amidst gushing blood, the enormous snake head tumbled through the air before crashing heavily to the ground, sending up plumes of smoke.

Taking advantage of the moment when Hinata Zechen swung his sword, more snake heads swarmed forward, their white bodies coiling and tightening, tightly binding the hands and body of the Hamura statue, attempting to restrict its movements.

The last snake head suddenly tilted back, its mouth opening to its widest extent. Amidst the churning of mucus, the boneless Orochimaru slowly slid out, gagging as it spat out a Kusanagi sword, which suddenly extended and stabbed towards Hyuga Sawatatsu.

A chakra rosary suddenly exploded, transforming into a light shield the size of a head, which blocked Hyuga Zetsu's Kusanagi sword.

Hinata Zechen swung his golden lightsaber repeatedly, each swing severing a massive snake head, reducing the Yamata no Orochi's head to fewer and fewer, leaving only writhing snake bodies waving in vain.

"found it!"

Hinata Zechen's eyes lit up. Instead of attacking the exposed Orochimaru, he used the two hands of the Hamura statue to firmly grasp the body of the snake whose head had been severed. With a great tremor, he swung it upwards, completely lifting the Yamata no Orochi's mountain-like body from the ground.

With the further enhancement of the Reincarnation Eye's power, the golden lightsaber in Hyuga Zetsu's hand shortened by dozens of times, leaving only a few feet long. However, the golden light it emitted became even more dazzling. It transformed into a golden stream of light and was thrown from Hyuga Zetsu's hand, firmly embedding itself in a slightly darker scale on the belly of the Yamata no Orochi.

"Impossible, how did you know the location of Yamata no Orochi's reverse scale?"

Orochimaru, who was wielding the Kusanagi sword in an attempt to break through the light shield, immediately froze, his hoarse voice filled with disbelief.

"As long as we know about the existence of Ryuchi Cave, and with these eyes as our aid, nothing is impossible."

For a summoning serpent that cultivates chakra, the importance of its reverse scale is self-evident.

Shinya, the most irritable creature in Ryuchi Cave, is so bad that even the White Snake Immortal has no good way to deal with it. However, as long as you obtain its reverse scale, you can sign a spirit contract with it.

The once majestic Yamata no Orochi's flesh began to soften and flow, then collapsed at an extremely fast speed, suddenly dissipating into the white mist, leaving only a trail of slime on the ground.

A white snake, only as thick as a finger and two feet long, writhed and crawled in the slime, trying to hide in a crevice in the rocks nearby.

However, a hand enveloped in green chakra descended with lightning speed, its two fingers gently squeezing at the seven-inch mark, instantly stiffening the still frantically writhing white snake and rendering it motionless.

"Orochimaru, such a petty trick cannot escape my eyes."

Hinata Zechen lifted the white snake and placed it in front of his eyes, staring intently at the seemingly harmless, even somewhat cute, white snake. He then gently pinched the snake's seven-inch mark with his two fingers.

"It seems I underestimated you, Ze Chen Jun."

The disguise had been exposed, and the white snake began to writhe again, with Orochimaru's voice coming from within.

"Even the Rinnegan possessed by the Sage of Six Paths is probably no more powerful than this. It's strange that such a powerful bloodline limit has remained relatively unknown in the ninja world."

The white snake opened its pupils, revealing yellow vertical pupils, its voice filled with confusion.

Although the Hyuga clan has always been revered as an ancient and prestigious clan of Konoha, it has actually always been in an awkward position of being neither the best nor the worst. Unlike the Senju and Uchiha clans, which have produced many powerful members and established a great reputation in the various Shinobi World Wars, the Hyuga clan also suffers from internal discord between the main and branch families and is even unable to elect a clan member who is qualified to participate in the Hokage competition.

Although the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is not common, their presence can be seen in every era of change, but Hyuga Zetsu's Tenseigan is the first of its kind to appear.

"That's no need for Lord Orochimaru to worry about. How about I borrow Kabuto Yakushi to serve under me for a year? I'm sure Lord Orochimaru won't refuse my suggestion?"

Although Hyuga Zechen addressed Orochimaru as "adult" repeatedly, the fact that Orochimaru was now being held hostage by him made the address sound incredibly ironic.

"Of course, it is an honor for Kabuto to be able to stay by Ze Chenjun's side."

Orochimaru chuckled dryly, and under the watchful gaze of the Tenseigan, he had no choice but to follow his heart.

Chapter 109 The Two Pillars of the Four Laughing Heroes

"Lord Zechen, please allow me to return to Lord Orochimaru's secret base to gather necessary equipment and materials."

Having realized that the great battle was over and that Kabuto had reappeared, he naturally dared not have any objections to Orochimaru's arrangements.

Having experienced the cruelty of the ninja world since childhood, Kabuto Yakushi has long been accustomed to disguising himself as someone else in order to conceal his true thoughts.
