In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

This is one of the three divine weapons that Orochimaru obtained from the tail of the Yamata no Orochi after the transaction.

In the original legends, Yamata no Orochi was second only to the Nine-Tailed Fox.

However, after Yamata no Orochi lost the Kusanagi Sword, it completely lost its original power.

However, Orochimaru never actually unlocked the full power of the Kusanagi Sword.

It's as if this power doesn't belong to him at all, so he has no way to use the power of Yamata no Orochi.

"Alright, I don't know how to use this either, so I'll give it to you."

"Ugh~"

After Orochimaru gagged, a six-foot-long Kusanagi sword appeared in his mouth.

"this......."

A clear look of disgust appeared on Tianyu's face.

Since it came from Orochimaru's mouth, Tenyu didn't know how to pick it up.

"Do you have to be so disgusting? Why do you have to do everything in such a disgusting way? Isn't it incredibly boring?"

After making a speechless comment, Tenyu picked up the Kusanagi Sword from the ground with disgust.

"Take it or leave it, I don't want to give you the Kusanagi Sword yet."

Orochimaru was also feeling very helpless.

After all, Orochimaru risked his life to obtain this divine weapon.

Who knew that Tianyu would get his hands on it so easily, and even end up disliking the sword.

Suddenly, with a loud boom, energy waves continuously emanated from the Kusanagi Sword in Ten's hand.

Tianyu's expression also turned somewhat ugly, and he quickly stood up and disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, Tianyu appeared in the Forest of Death.

"This is truly remarkable; it lives up to its reputation as a famous artifact."

After a moment of reflection, Tenyu wondered why the Kusanagi Sword would exhibit this behavior after he obtained it.

"Hahaha, kid, I didn't expect there would be someone who could activate the true form."

"Thank you so much. Now return my power to me, and I will eat you to make you feel honored!"

At this moment, a huge command array appeared beneath Tianyu's feet.

A giant snake demon with pure white skin and nine heads appeared before Tianyu.

This snake was dozens of times larger than the Yamata no Orochi that Orochimaru had transformed into.

It is evident that this snake is the legendary being whose physical form can connect the three realms and whose combat power is second only to the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"What the hell? So you were sealed inside the Kusanagi Sword, you vengeful seed."

Tenyu originally wanted the Kusanagi Sword because he wanted to see if he still had the ability to modify it.

Who knew such an annoying thing would appear?

This left Tianyu speechless, realizing that things were extremely troublesome.

Encountering such arrogant spirit beasts is a particularly troublesome thing.

"Monster, don't you know there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens?"

Tengo threw the Kusanagi sword in his hand away.

After all, the Kusanagi Sword had lost its original luster after summoning the Yamata no Orochi.

Even the once indestructible sword blade now shows faint cracks.

In the original story, even after Orochimaru killed Hiruzen Sarutobi during his attack on Konoha, the Kusanagi Sword still retained its luster.

Now things have turned out differently; the legendary artifact, the Kusanagi Sword, has simply been destroyed in the long river of history.

"Kid, since you don't know what's good for you, then I'll have no choice but to take action."

It's clear that Orochi has no interest in chatting with this kid, Tenyu.

Then, the eight heads of the Yamata no Orochi began to move, and different kinds of energy fluctuations continuously emanated from its eight mouths.

This must be the legendary Yamata no Orochi.

"What exactly happened? Why did problems arise as soon as Tenyu got his hands on the Kusanagi Sword?"

Orochimaru was also heading to the Forest of Death at top speed, as his bloodline was already stirring.

After the explosion, Orochimaru felt his S-rank forbidden technique, the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique, stirring within him.

It seems that Tenyu accidentally activated the original power of the Yamata no Orochi hidden within the Kusanagi Sword.

"I must make sure nothing goes wrong. If I can obtain the soul of the Eight-Headed Serpent, my S-rank forbidden technique will definitely be upgraded to SS-rank!"

Orochimaru was very confident in his own strength.

In particular, if Orochimaru obtains the soul of the Eight-Headed Serpent, he is confident that his strength in Konoha will be only slightly less than that of the top fighters.

"Hmm? Isn't this the little guy who stole my internal energy back then?"

"I never expected to run into you like this. You're not getting away this time."

The Yamata no Orochi was about to make a move, but the energy in its mouth suddenly stopped.

His gaze turned towards the distant direction of Konoha, because Orochi could now sense Orochimaru's presence from back then.

When I was resting in my habitat, this little guy suddenly appeared behind me.

He stole all the power he had accumulated over a century.

Although Orochi desperately wanted to find Orochimaru and take his power.

But at that time, my power was simply not enough to appear in this world.

After all, after his power was stolen, Orochi's strength had long since fallen to the bottom of the divine beasts.

If Orochi were to recklessly venture out, all his former enemies would come after him.

With his current fighting strength, he'll soon be torn to pieces by the creature.

Chapter 408 Obito's Daring Struggle

This is why Orochimaru immediately sought him out after his aura appeared.

Orochimaru has cast a shadow over his life.

Only after Orochimaru is killed can the Yamata no Orochi break through its cultivation level.

"Am I... being ignored?"

Tenyu stood there, watching the Yamata no Orochi run far away, utterly speechless.

I haven't felt this ignored in a long time.

After all, as an elder of Konoha Village, Tenyu is someone that almost everyone respects when they see his face.

Perhaps only creatures from ancient times could ignore themselves.

After all, his appearance and physique were only those of a fourteen-year-old child.

It's perfectly normal to be ignored.

Should I go help?

After standing there for a while and thinking it over, Tianyu decided to go and take a look.

However, Tianyu is unlikely to take action immediately.

After all, Orochimaru was responsible for the deaths of half of his scout rats, so he had to make that guy suffer properly.

Otherwise, wouldn't all my hard work have been wasted?

The bloated Yamata no Orochi charged toward Orochimaru at an incredibly fast speed, its mouth already brimming with energy to its limit.

The moment Orochimaru is seen, Orochimaru will not hesitate to kill him from this world.

Meanwhile, Tianyu easily followed behind the Yamata no Orochi, ensuring the safety of the surrounding area at all times.

After all, he only wanted to teach Orochimaru a lesson.

It would be a huge loss to let a scientist from Konoha die over something so trivial.

At this point, Orochimaru had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation.

Orochimaru was not accompanied by Tobirama Senju. When they came out, Tobirama Senju suggested that they come along to take a look.

However, the research on the scout rat has now reached its most critical stage.

So Orochi left Tobirama Senju alone in the laboratory.

Orochimaru himself ran out.

This will likely lead to Orochimaru experiencing the most brutal battle of his life.

"Hahaha, are we getting closer and closer in terms of power?"

Orochimaru's heart was filled with longing; his fighting power, which had stagnated for many years, was finally about to improve again.

This would allow his experiments to reach a new level.

........

At this moment, in the Akatsuki's base, Obito looked at the hall where only a few people remained in the rooms.

For some reason, Obito even felt a little desolate.

When there were enough people, they had such great wishes they wanted to fulfill.

Now things are much better; in the entire Akatsuki organization, only Hidan, who now only has a head, remains.

And then there's Hei Bai Jue, who was injured in an accident a few days ago and is still recovering.

Then there was a long-term tuberculosis infection, which basically rendered him useless.

Secondly, there's the Six Paths of Pain, which Nagato has been controlling, also due to the events of the past few days.
