Starting with Wood Release, he survives in Konoha Hospital and becomes a big shot.

After Orochimaru finished speaking, he opened his mouth wide, and a hand reached out from his mouth, pried it open, and crawled out.

Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique.

This is Orochimaru's unique substitution technique. As long as his body doesn't suffer a devastating blow, he can use this substitution technique to evade attacks and reconstruct his body.

"Looks like your Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique isn't all that great after all," Yao Xingji chuckled from a short distance away.

At this moment, Orochimaru, covered in slime and having just emerged from his own mouth, looked rather unpleasant.

Because his left arm is still severed and has not recovered.

His Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique failed!

"How could this be?" Orochimaru sensed something was wrong.

Originally, it was thought that Yao Xingji might possess some kind of powerful bloodline limit that would allow him to revive after death. However, it was unexpected that Yao Xingji, a child of just over three years old, would possess such terrifying combat power, dislocating one of his arms in an instant, and even the Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique could not repair it.

"No, it's not the Substitution Technique that's malfunctioning."

Orochimaru, being one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, quickly figured out the problem after a moment's thought.

His gaze swept around and quickly settled on Yao Xingji.

"Illusion!"

That's right, this isn't the real world at all, and Orochimaru has been under a genjutsu for some time now.

"The Kurama clan sent you here, so it's normal that they can use illusion magic. But do you think you can trap me with just one illusion magic?"

"You're still too young."

Orochimaru smiled confidently.

Once you know the enemy's methods, it becomes much easier to crack them.

"untie!"

Orochimaru formed a hand seal with one hand, and the instant his chakra flowed, he broke free from the genjutsu's restraints.

The surrounding dark forest rippled slightly, and even though it was very subtle, Orochimaru still sensed something was amiss.

This shows that he has indeed broken the illusion, and the world he is in now is the real world.

Yao Xingji's expression shifted slightly. Orochimaru's skill in genjutsu might not be very high, but breaking through his genjutsu was easy. The strength of the Sannin of Konoha was indeed not simple.

"Star Lord, are you surprised? Become my subordinate, I need you..."

As Orochimaru finished speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain, his expression immediately changed, and he looked at his left arm.

Blood was everywhere; the left arm was long gone, and the scarlet blood was still flowing. You could even see the broken, white bone inside.

"You're still too young!" Yao Xingji said with a light laugh, returning Orochimaru's words to him.

"How could this be?" Orochimaru's face showed a look of shock.

The illusion has clearly been dispelled, so why hasn't his arm recovered?

Could everything in the illusion be real?

That's impossible! Illusions are illusions precisely because they only affect the mind and cannot cause any real harm to the body. But what just happened...?

Why was his arm destroyed in the illusion, and then destroyed in the real world as well?

"Illusion mirrors reality; the Kurama clan manipulates their five senses!"

Suddenly, Orochimaru seemed to realize something, and his golden vertical pupils sharply fell on Yao Xingji, as if trying to see through Yao Xingji's true nature.

Very few members of the Kurama clan awaken their bloodline limit; this physique has not appeared for a long time, so much so that Orochimaru did not immediately think of this nearly extinct genjutsu.

This is mainly because Yakusei is not a member of the Kurama clan, and most people wouldn't make that connection. If the Kurama clan's Satomi Hill Manor weren't nearby, Orochimaru probably would have taken much longer to determine the technique Yakusei used.

"You seem to have more secrets than I thought."

Orochimaru looked at Yakushiki, and the smile on his face faded considerably.

He was fortunate that Yao Xingji didn't seem to be very familiar with this illusion technique, allowing him to break it as quickly as possible. Otherwise, under this terrifying bloodline limit that could turn the damage he suffered in the illusion into reality, his chances of winning would have been very low.

Therefore, judging from his performance just now, he must be cautious about Yao Xingji, otherwise he might really be caught off guard and suffer a setback.

“My secrets are not limited to what Lord Orochimaru saw,” Yakusei said calmly.

He left Konoha so that he could act without hesitation when needed, without alerting others.

At this moment, Orochimaru is not enough to make Yaoxing extremely afraid.

"Then let me see what other secrets you have!" Orochimaru said coldly.

Having failed to abduct the child, Orochimaru is now prepared to resort to force.

Without hesitation, Orochimaru used the blood flowing from his shoulder to form a hand seal and activate the ninjutsu.

"Spirit Summoning - Ten Thousand Serpent Formation!"

As Orochimaru slammed his palm into the ground, countless snakes surged forth from the ground, rushing towards Yaoxingji like a raging flood.

As long as these snakes can get close to Yao Xingji, Orochimaru can directly detonate the summoned snakes, with a power comparable to an explosive tag, which is enough to pose a huge threat to Yao Xingji.

Faced with the approaching swarm of snakes, Yao Xingji's expression was solemn, one hand held upright against his chest, the other flat and pressing down.

This strange movement caused Orochimaru's pupils to involuntarily contract.

"Come to welcome Thousand Hands Killer!"

hum!

Golden light appeared behind Yao Xingji, and a Guanyin, radiating light, emerged, her appearance solemn and compassionate towards the world.

Beside her, countless hands unfolded like blooming lotus flowers, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds and thousands of hands appeared.

In no time, the Thousand-Hand Guanyin fully appeared in the world.

------------

Chapter 105 Yao Xingji vs. Orochimaru

"This is……"

Orochimaru's expression froze as he looked at the Thousand-Armed Guanyin image that appeared behind Yakusei.

He had never seen this technique before, but it was clearly not a conventional ninjutsu; it seemed more like something from Buddhism. Moreover, both in terms of its form and the shape of the moves, this technique was somewhat similar to the First Hokage's Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands - Top Transformation into Buddha.

You could say this is a smaller version of the Buddha on top.

A large swarm of snakes rushed toward Yao Xingji, and they were already very close to each other.

Just then, the Thousand-Hand Guanyin behind Yao Xingji moved.

Hundreds of arms emerged from behind Yao Xingji, some clenched into fists, others into palms, attacking the oncoming swarm of snakes.

The swarm of snakes, like a flood, was immediately intercepted by walls of golden fists and palms. Each strike of those arms precisely shattered the summoned snakes. Before long, Orochimaru's ninjutsu was exhausted under the attack of the Thousand Hands Killer and disappeared completely.

"Shall we continue?" Yao Xingji was bathed in golden Buddhist light, with the image of the Thousand-Hand Guanyin shining brightly behind him, like a deity.

"I underestimated you." Orochimaru looked at Yakushiki with a serious expression.

A child who is just over three years old not only used ninjutsu that ordinary ninjas could not use, but also had an astonishing amount of chakra.

The genjutsu just now and the Thousand Hands Killing Technique now are things that even a typical Jonin might not be able to perform. But judging from Yakusei's current state, he is clearly handling them with ease, which means he still has plenty of chakra left.

Having already demonstrated two powerful techniques, Orochimaru dared not speculate on what other tricks Yao Xingji might have up her sleeve.

But at this moment, Orochimaru no longer regarded Yakusei as a child.

"Then I'll show you my strength."

Swish!

The next moment, Orochimaru flashed out and attacked Yao Xingji.

"The Eye of Salvation".

Orochimaru's speed was too fast; Yao Xingji's naked eye could no longer track Orochimaru's movements, so he had to activate his eye technique.

A pinkish-red light appeared in Yao Xingji's eyes, and the originally dark forest underwent a subtle change.

A shadow, interwoven with green and red, was moving at an extremely fast speed around the Medicine Star.

"So fast."

Yao Xingji's expression became much more serious.

In the original Naruto manga, Orochimaru did not demonstrate particularly strong physical abilities, but this does not mean that Orochimaru's physical skills were weak.

On the contrary, as a ninjutsu genius, Orochimaru's skill in taijutsu is by no means inferior.

At this moment, with all his might, Yao Xingji was no longer able to cope with such physical techniques.

boom!

Suddenly, a beam of light struck, heading straight for Yao Xingji's left chest.

hum!

A flash of golden light, and Senju Satsu, standing behind Yakusei, suddenly threw a punch at Orochimaru.

However, just as the fist was about to land on Orochimaru, Orochimaru's speed exploded again, his body disappeared, dodging the attack of the Thousand Hands Kill, and punched Yao Xingji in the face.

Bang! The golden light rippled, and Yao Xingji's body was sent flying.

"Even with a broken arm, his taijutsu is still so powerful. No wonder he's one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha." Yao Xingji got up from the ground, with a scratch on his face.

If Orochimaru hadn't used Yakushiki to block his Thousand Hands Kill, Orochimaru would probably be disfigured by now.

It must be said that Orochimaru's strength somewhat exceeded Yao Xingji's expectations.

Even after crippling Orochimaru's left arm, he still fell into a disadvantageous position; this is the strength of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.

The golden light faded, and the Thousand-Hand Guanyin disappeared.

The Thousand Hands Kill technique had consumed a lot of chakra, and it was no longer effective against Orochimaru's powerful attack, so Yao Xingji simply put it away.

"Without that Thousand-Armed Guanyin, let's see how you dodge my next attack." Orochimaru's voice drifted through the forest, its exact location impossible to pinpoint.

Yao Xingji's gaze swept across the area, but he did not see Orochimaru.

The greatest function of the Eye of Salvation is healing, and its insight is significantly inferior to that of the Byakugan and Sharingan.
