Orochimaru is merely a clone. Naturally, there is no information that Uchiha Kiyo wants from his body, and even the main body of Orochimaru has not yet sorted these things out, at least not as transaction material.
Uchiha Kiyo doesn't seem intimidated by Orochimaru's refusal and directly agrees with the other party on a transaction location. When the time comes, the two sides will bring items to exchange. Uchiha Kiyo will bring the complete theory of the bloodline limit and the cultivation method of Rongdun, while Orochimaru is to deliver two technological devices plus soul profiles.
After Orochimaru left, Uchiha Kiyo leaves the Uchiha Ruins. He is not afraid of Orochimaru backing out. Since the other party came to him, it's clear that he has something from Uchiha Kiyo, which he won't give up due to a fair deal.
After Orochimaru's clone reported the news to its main body, Orochimaru was quite surprised. It wasn't his order that the clone met with Uchiha Kiyo for a cooperative transaction, but the clone found the trace of Uchiha Kiyo and made a judgment on its own, leading to the deal.
The reason the clone decided to do this is because the main body also needed to find Uchiha Kiyo for cooperation. It wasn't a unilateral decision, though the clone did not know it had found Uchiha Kiyo.
As Uchiha Kiyo had anticipated, Orochimaru briefly considered discontinuing the trade, but ultimately chose to go ahead with it.
In terms of transactions, you can always trust Orochimaru. He may not let you take something, but he will never deny you what he has.
Well, that is unless he kills you after the transaction and takes the stuff back.
However, Uchiha Kiyo's strength left Orochimaru uncertain, so he didn't think such a thing would be wise.
"Let's get revenge from Danzo."
Uchiha Kiyo's first target was Danzo—the biggest black hand behind the Uchiha Genocide, the direct instigator.
Pay him back in his own way.
The Shimura clan has been wiped out, and Uchiha Kiyo wondered if Danzo would be angry.
Destroying his clan would make him feel like he was constantly being exterminated, just as his roots were wiped out, leaving him without any value. When Konoha was in crisis, Danzo didn't step forward, and all kinds of internal strife continued.
It's not enough to just kill him. If you're seeking revenge, you have to destroy everything Danzo holds dear.
Hokage? Still so Hokage? Forget it, he'll be nailed to Konoha's pillar of shame forever!
Uchiha Kiyo followed through with his plans without delay, heading straight for the Shimura clan's territory.
"Hey, kid, don't get in the way here."
A Shimura clan ninja, clearly in a bad mood, saw a stranger standing before him and reprimanded him.
Uchiha Kiyo chuckled, "Is this the case where if you want to destroy something, you have to make it crazy? This kind of plot actually appeared."
The Shimura ninja couldn't understand Uchiha Kiyo's words, but he felt the contempt in his tone. He assumed an ordinary person wouldn't speak like this. Impatient, he decided to teach Uchiha Kiyo a lesson.
Uchiha Kiyo noticed the fierce look in the other's eyes and smiled.
Before the Shimura ninja could act, Uchiha Kiyo had already moved. Chakra flowed through his body as his right hand transformed into a blade and pierced through the ninja's body directly.
The attack was swift. Even though it was in front of the Shimura clan's people, someone screamed, and the whole street erupted into chaos.
Uchiha Kiyo didn't care and had no intention of hiding. Of course, it needed to be seen by everyone. Otherwise, what fun would it be?
This was also Uchiha Kiyo's confidence in his own strength.
He wasn't afraid to show his power.
"Melting Escape: Gundam Mode."
Uchiha Kiyo transformed into a giant, twenty meters tall, smashing through the gate of the Shimura clan with one punch before sealing his hands.
"Melting Escape: Thousand-Time Rain."
Thousands of molten copies condensed in the air, each the size of an adult's arm. These "copies" fell like a rain of destruction, piercing through the Shimura family compound. The Shimura clan members were killed and injured in countless numbers.
"Bold!"
At that moment, someone roared loudly. It was the patriarch of the Shimura clan, an elite Jounin.
He rushed out of the study and saw the carnage within the clan. Distraught, he turned to face the giant outside the gates, and his momentum immediately faltered.
Simultaneously, a strong chakra reaction burst from the village. It wasn't coming from a remote training ground or the back mountains but from the center of Konoha itself, prompting an immediate response.
Tsunade, wearing the cloak of the Fifth Hokage, rushed out of the Hokage office. She saw the towering lava giant standing before the Shimura clan.
Konoha's tallest building wasn't even ten meters high, so the twenty-meter giant was easily noticeable. The heat emanating from the creature distorted the air, and the surrounding space shimmered with the oppressive warmth. This giant was the result of Uchiha Kiyo compressing chakra, and the molten strength of the magma was far more solid than expected.
As Tsunade reacted, Danzo, too, felt the presence from the root. However, since the root was underground, it took him a little longer to surface. Tsunade, being one step ahead, reached the scene first.
Danzo emerged from the root and saw the lava giant near the Shimura clan's compound.
"Damn!"
Danzo's eyes widened as realization struck him.
The Shimura family was vital to him, not just because of his blood ties but also because of the clan's influence in Konoha. Though the Shimura clan wasn't particularly strong, they controlled much of the village's power, their influence stretching even during the time of the Uchiha and Senju clans.
Despite the Shimura clan's decline under Tsunade's rule, they still held considerable power. Danzo had many resources linked to them, and their positions in Konoha were indispensable.
At that moment, as Uchiha Kiyo continued his rampage, Danzo's fury reached a boiling point.
The patriarch of the Shimura clan was severely injured by Uchiha Kiyo's attacks and was held captive by him.
When Tsunade and Danzo arrived, Uchiha Kiyo stood atop the ruined remains of the Shimura clan, the Shimura patriarch's lifeless body held in his hand.
The lava giant grinned, his appearance exuding terror.
"Not good!" Tsunade and Danzo realized the gravity of the situation.
The giant squeezed the Shimura patriarch to death with his bare hands.
A pile of bloody remains dropped to the ground, emitting a foul, burning aroma…
"Damn it!"
Danzo was enraged. This patriarch was his brother, the son of the previous Shimura patriarch, who had passed the leadership to Danzo's brother due to his own position within Konoha.
Tsunade, too, seethed with fury. Though she had many grievances with the Shimura clan, they were still part of Konoha's history. Watching their patriarch perish so brutally under her very eyes was an open insult.
Uchiha Kiyo didn't anticipate his actions to be seen as provocation by Tsunade. After killing the Shimura patriarch, he turned his open palm upward.
"Melting Escape: Qi Yuan Slash."
The molten chakra surged within him, and a massive Qi Yuan Slash, one hundred meters in diameter, formed.
In the state of Tsunade and the others, the attack was launched directly at Danzo's position.
Danzo was shocked, but he managed to retreat just in time, feeling the sharp, cutting power of the Qi Yuan Slash closing in.
Even with his wind jutsu, he couldn't block this fusion ninjutsu.
The fiery red disc shot through the air, cutting through the ground with a shrill sound.
No violent explosions followed, only the eerie silence as the disc sank into the earth.
There was no subsequent roar, only the eerie quiet before the lava giant landed with a mighty thud.
"Damn, does she think the old lady doesn't exist?"
Tsunade was furious, though she knew that Tsunade had taken heavy damage, she could hardly accept being so provoked.
The ground cracked beneath her feet, and she launched herself toward the lava giant, her fist rocketing toward it.
Uchiha Kiyo responded, controlling the giant to punch back.
Boom!
The impact shook the earth, sending rocks flying.
Tsunade stepped back, only to charge forward again, landing punches on the giant.
The lava giant's fists cracked with each blow, but Uchiha Kiyo quickly repaired the damage and fought back.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two clashed in an intense battle. The lava giant's massive body was slowly breaking down despite Uchiha Kiyo's repairs.
Tsunade's attacks were fierce, and despite the disparity in size, she fought without falling behind.
Uchiha Kiyo took the fight seriously.
Tsunade's raw power was formidable, and with her unique strength, she could break through Uchiha Kiyo.
