Chapter 261 - Ceasefire

"Sage Art: Tail-Chasing Eight-Division Light Wheel!"

Orochimaru stretched out his hand and tossed it, the Light Wheel in his palm tearing through the air, the pure ice-blue light illuminating the sky!

In the howling wind, a streak of blue light suddenly flashed, even the sea surface was neatly cut open, the waves churning, spilling white foam on both sides.

As the sound of cutting through the air intensified, the light illuminated Tsunade's unbelievable face even more brightly, her hair standing on end, her pupils shrinking to pinpoints.

"Goo goo goo..."

Katsuyu sensed her danger, and the dense mass of split bodies began to rapidly converge, condensing into a larger Slug, attempting to use itself as a shield to protect Tsunade.

A figure flashed before her eyes, and Jiraiya gritted his teeth and stood in front of her.

"Ninja Art: Wild Hair Lion: Needle Hell!"

He desperately gathered Chakra, pouring it all into the top of his head, and his silver-white hair danced like a mad dragon, growing longer in the wind, each strand as hard as iron, yet extremely flexible, like a dense mass of soft steel, whistling as it met the sea.

On the sea, Orochimaru revealed a look of disdain, "Still struggling?"

With a "sizzling" sound, the Light Wheel cut into the hair, as if a hot knife cutting through butter, without the slightest pause.

The blue Light Wheel continued to cut, countless strands of hair splashing and scattering like ink, the hardened hair unable to stop it at all!

The clear blue light rotated rapidly, it was not pure non-attribute Chakra, but integrated with Orochimaru's best Wind Release Chakra.

Wind is inherently about cutting, and incorporating this attribute into the thin, flowing Light Blade, the degree of sharpness is self-evident!

Orochimaru stared at the Light Wheel that was advancing triumphantly, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rising, it was an excited smile.

Back then, even Shin'yu couldn't help but give him a thumbs up after seeing this move.

As everyone knows, Ninja release Ninjutsu inseparable from Chakra, want to Ninjutsu act on the outside, it is necessary to let Chakra flow along a specific order.

This "flow" is very particular, which gave rise to the two concepts of nature transformation and shape transformation.

The so-called nature transformation is the attribute of Chakra, different people according to the different Yin and Yang ratio, are born with a certain attribute, but if you do not have this attribute, may not be able to master through acquired practice.

Take Wind Release as an example, if you want to create Wind Release Chakra in your body, you have to divide the Chakra into two parts and then combine them to grind them together, and then refine them with the "feeling" that the two strands of Chakra are thinning each other, and an invisible, intangible, ethereal, and formless new Chakra will slowly be produced in the body.

This is the nature transformation of wind.

This is a feeling that cannot be described in words, mysterious and profound, people who are born with Wind Release attribute will quickly grasp this feeling, and those who do not have this attribute are second.

The shape transformation, on the other hand, is much easier to understand, that is, changing the appearance of Ninjutsu or directly manipulating Chakra, which can control the power and attack range of the technique, and basically all Ninja can do this.

When releasing Ninjutsu, Ninja usually add shape transformation on the premise of Chakra nature transformation.

For example, Uchiha Sasuke in the original timeline, turned Lightning Release: Chidori into Chidori Stream, Chidori Katana, Chidori Sharp Spear; even Fire Release's Great Fireball Technique, Great Fire Dragon Technique, Water Release's Water Dragon Technique, Water Formation Wall, and even Earth Release's Earth Flow Wall, Earth Dragon Bullet, are all Ninjutsu completed based on this order and principle.

But!

If you change the order, and then integrate the nature transformation on the premise of Chakra shape transformation, this... is simply inverting the heavens!

Because, this completely subverts the principle of traditional Ninjutsu.

Just imagine, to complete this operation, you need to add the nature transformation of Wind Release on the premise that you have already condensed the shape of the blade of Chakra.

That's right, first stabilize the Chakra Blade, and then add it after madly grinding the two strands of Chakra, destroying the balance while maintaining stability... it sounds very anti-human.

In the original timeline, the most representative Ninja who completed this feat, and the only one to ever do so, was just one person.

That was...

Uzumaki Naruto, the protagonist who could create all sorts of Rasengans.

This was also why Shin'yu gave Orochimaru a thumbs up.

Because it was a special Ninjutsu, Orochimaru was quite confident that no one below Kage-level could stop it.

The Light Blade flashed away, carrying an indomitable momentum, splitting everything along the way in half. Amidst the ear-piercing cutting sounds, even the ground was plowed into a straight track.

Through the distorted blue halo, Jiraiya stared in horror at Orochimaru's eyes, his face twisted, seemingly unable to believe that his former comrade had really made a deadly move.

The Light Blade was extremely fast, and the sharp wind made it impossible for him to open his eyes!

Tsunade also turned pale. She knew in her heart that with this level of Chakra, even if she tried her best, she would only be killed!

At this time, it was too late to dodge, and she could only wait for death to arrive.

She closed her eyes in despair, her body cooling down inch by inch from her fingertips to her heart.

In her heart... it was as if something had shattered, pulverized by the increasingly approaching buzzing sound in her ears.

Just then! A clear voice overwhelmed the frantic cutting sound, loud and stern, shocking her heart.

"Wooden Style: All-Encompassing Cloth Sack Technique!!!"

The ground trembled violently, and huge tree roots tore through the earth, bursting out of the ground, and rapidly converging into two huge wooden palms on the left and right sides, then suddenly clasped together!

"Pa!!!"

The muffled sound was like thunder, and the sound waves spread far away with the impact, almost shattering the eardrums of the two people who were close at hand.

"Wooden Style? Could it be..."

Tsunade opened her eyes in disbelief, and in the gradually clearer vision, golden streamers were reflected, as well as the back of a young man who suddenly appeared in the light!

Jiraiya moved his arm away, barely propping open a slit in his eyelids, only to see the young man in front of him clasping his hands together, the blue Light Blade that had put him in a life-or-death crisis was now completely sandwiched between two wooden hands, unable to advance an inch.

And around him and Tsunade, a circle of golden Barrier had been erected.

The surrounding area continued to emit ear-piercing cutting sounds, as if an iron shovel was scraping a pot. Jiraiya knew that it was the unparalleled sharp Wind Release blades outside the Light Blade that were cutting the Barrier.

After a few breaths, the buzzing sound gradually weakened, and the Light Blade finally lost its speed, turning into a stream of light and disappearing into the palm of the giant hand.

The wind gradually stopped, and Jiraiya finally breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he suddenly realize that the surrounding golden halo was not a Barrier at all, but a golden, half-body giant!

"That's enough. Their lives may not be that important to you... right?" the young man said, his voice soft.

Orochimaru stared at him, and after a moment of silence, he flicked his sleeves: "As long as they put away their self-righteous thoughts, I don't care."

The young man smiled gently, turned his head slightly, and greeted the two of them: "Yo, long time no see, Jiraiya, and... Tsunade."

Jiraiya stared at the young man's face for a long while before asking in surprise:

"Are you... Uchiha Nen?"
