Chapter 30 Kotoamatsukami
After the two finished speaking, they sheathed their blades and began forming hand seals.
"Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld!"
The ground around Uchiha Touhuan instantly transformed into a liquid swamp under the influence of chakra, within which countless venomous snakes flickered, converging towards Uchiha Touhuan at the center.
"Prison of Ten Thousand Snakes."
Facing these tens of thousands of venomous snakes, Uchiha Touhuan remained calm, completing the final hand seal.
In an instant, a raging sea of lightning reappeared, thick lightning pillars like dancing silver snakes. Wherever they passed, the rapidly surging venomous snakes were reduced to ashes. Fear appeared in the eyes of the snakes at the edge. Although these snakes had developed considerable intelligence under Orochimaru's careful training, faced with such a catastrophic scene, their biological instincts began to prevail.
As the venomous snakes, having miraculously survived, hesitated, silver-snake-like lightning began to converge within the sea of lightning surrounding Uchiha Touhuan, and a wrathful Vajra, tens of meters tall, rose from the ground.
"Lightning Release: Immovable King!"
The lightning around Uchiha Touhuan began to gather and compress into the Vajra pestle in the Immovable King's hand above his head. The Vajra pestle, formed from chakra, now possessed a real texture, demonstrating the terrifying energy it contained.
"Back off a little more!" Sensing this terrifying chakra fluctuation, Kakashi couldn't help but shout.
Six years ago, during the Nine-Tails' rampage, the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball probably had only this much power.
Uchiha Touhuan raised his hand, his open palm clenching into a fist, and the Immovable King above his head hurled the Vajra pestle towards Orochimaru.
In an instant, thunder roared. Orochimaru originally intended to use his Wind Release defensive ninjutsu to defend, but the area within a radius of several hundred meters was completely enveloped by the terrifying explosion. The release of the lightning, compressed to its limit, brought the purest energy, turning everything in this area into nothingness.
After everything calmed down, only the mangled corpse of a giant snake remained.
Uchiha Touhuan slowly walked towards the snake carcass. He had no doubt that Orochimaru could survive the impact; Orochimaru was one of the most difficult people to kill in the ninja world. Sure enough
, just as Uchiha Touhuan had predicted, the lifeless snake carcass on the ground suddenly began to writhe. Orochimaru emerged from the charred
snake's mouth, his robes intact, though his Akatsuki uniform was soaked in a sticky liquid. "So, this is the power of the Uchiha clan, Touhuan-kun?" Orochimaru licked the sticky liquid off his face. "After unleashing that ninjutsu, you must have very little chakra left."
"So what?" Uchiha Touhuan frowned slightly. Even though killing was commonplace in this world, the sight before him still made him feel somewhat disgusted.
In the original timeline, it was Itachi Uchiha who ignited Orochimaru's greed for the bodies of the Uchiha clan. Now, Touhuan Uchiha has taken that role. Orochimaru wears a sickly smile, eager to possess Touhuan's body. Orochimaru
's neck suddenly stretches out, his head hurtling towards Touhuan.
[If I can implant the cursed seal, this body will be mine.]
However, at that moment, a loud eagle's cry echoed through the sky.
Driven by the ingrained fear of snakes towards birds of prey, Orochimaru abruptly looked up. In that instant, his eyes met the crimson eyes of the eagle descending from the sky.
[That's... the Mangekyō Sharingan?]
Ultimate Genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami, activated! The flowing ocular power and chakra etched an eternal loyalty to Touhuan Uchiha into Orochimaru's soul.
Orochimaru's eyes instantly cleared.
Uchiha Touhuan drew his sword and decapitated Orochimaru's body with a single strike.
Only then did Kakashi and the others arrive, belatedly. "Is it over?" Hyuga Kenya looked at Orochimaru's severed head and let out a long sigh.
"Truly worthy of being the head of the Uchiha clan. Even a renowned ninja like Orochimaru is no match for him," Nagai Seiichi remarked.
"No, I'm afraid it's not that simple." Kakashi frowned, looking at Orochimaru's corpse beside him.
Orochimaru's relatively intact body turned to ashes in the blink of an eye, dissipating into the air with a gust of wind.
"This..." Inuzuka Fu also frowned, "What's going on?"
"I'm afraid he's not dead yet." Uchiha Touhuan sheathed his sword, sighed, and said, "Damn it, he still got away."
"It's not that simple. Orochimaru has survived so many years of pursuit by the village; he must have some tricks up his sleeve," Kakashi said.
"Brother Fu, let Momo search thoroughly. There should be a stronghold of that guy nearby. After I recover my chakra, we'll go together," Uchiha Touhuan said.
...
At that moment, twenty miles away in Orochimaru's base, a body with a cursed seal implanted in it suddenly opened its eyes in a large incubation tank.
The tank shattered, and the person inside stepped out onto the incubation fluid, their face gradually transforming into Orochimaru's appearance.
The newly reborn Orochimaru, after dressing, immediately began modifying the laboratory.
...
Two hours later, Uchiha Touhuan, having recovered his chakra, along with the others, led by Mokumaru who had followed the scent trail, discovered the base.
"There's no one inside," Hyuga Takato said after scanning the area with his Byakugan.
"Looks like that guy escaped," Kakashi said. "Well then, let's go in and see; maybe we'll find something."
Deeper into Orochimaru's base, traces of human experimentation became increasingly apparent.
Even though everyone was a seasoned ninja accustomed to bloodshed, some of the sights inside made them feel physically uncomfortable. Uzuki Yugao, the only girl in the team, couldn't help but cover her mouth, wanting to vomit.
"That guy, he really has no humanity at all," Inuzuka Kaze gritted his teeth.
"Let's look for clues first," Kakashi ordered.
The group then began searching the research institute.
While calming his girlfriend, Gekko Hayate searched, and soon he found a pile of scattered documents.
Picking one up, his pupils instantly contracted.
The document detailed Danzo's Root organization kidnapping children from several young ninja clans with bloodline limits and sending them to Orochimaru for human experimentation. Furthermore, there were traces of the Utatane and Mitokado clans among them. Gekko Hayate suddenly remembered his four-year-old cousin who had suddenly disappeared from the village a few years ago, and a chill ran down his spine.
He was about to speak when Uchiha Touhuan appeared beside him, stopping him in his tracks and shaking his head to signal him to be quiet.
