Side Story: After the Eight Gates Sasuke Traveled to Shippuden 15
Orochimaru's body could indeed only barely support him in battle for a short while…
This was mainly because this body was only for temporary use. His original plan was to switch to Sasuke's body after dealing with the threat of Sasori of the Red Sand.
As it turned out, Sasuke had betrayed him and secretly sided with Konoha…
"Sasuke-kun, I never thought you would hide yourself so well! But the most dangerous creatures in the ninja world are snakes!"
The human skin on Orochimaru's body gradually sloughed off, and a large white snake crawled out from the husk. Its body grew larger and larger. "What a pity. I had originally planned to use this move to kill Itachi-kun!"
"…"
Sasuke Uchiha looked at him with a strange expression and twirled a finger at his own head. "Orochimaru, I advise you to be rational… No matter which Itachi it is, from the looks of you now, you are by no means his opponent."
"My older brother, he is a true god!"
Sasuke's figure suddenly charged forward, and the giant white snake was sent flying by his punch!
What was surprising was that the fallen white snake's body was still growing, and its heads were also increasing, until it transformed into an Eight-Branched Serpent the size of a small mountain!
Jiraiya stood by Sasuke's side, his brow furrowed. "That is…"
"Orochimaru's Eight-Branched Serpent technique, which allows him to transform into the Yamata no Orochi… a declining forbidden jutsu. Because it is completely countered by the Susanoo, generally no one trains in it."
Sasuke Uchiha calmly extended his palm, and a small, pitch-black sphere appeared in his hand. "If this guy Orochimaru still has a chance to be revived, I hope he'll read more children's bedtime stories…"
"This is…"
Jiraiya noticed the small, pitch-black sphere in his hand. Even if he didn't understand what jutsu this was, he could feel the terrifying chakra it contained!
"It's just an insignificant sealing jutsu, to prevent Orochimaru from splitting and escaping to be revived again…" Sasuke smiled, raised his hand to throw the black ball into the sky, and clasped his hands together, shouting in a low voice, "Planetary Devastation!"
"…"
Are all Uchiha this playful?
Under Jiraiya's somewhat speechless gaze, he saw a small black hole appear in the sky. Then, that black hole erupted with a terrifying gravitational force!
The earth cracked open…
Countless blocks of earth and rubble flew towards the sky…
The Eight-Branched Serpent on the ground did its utmost to resist the gravity of the Planetary Devastation. Its tails and several heads were wrapped around several towering trees on the ground. Clearly, this was of no use!
Everyone could only watch in horror as the struggling Eight-Branched Serpent was completely sealed by the Planetary Devastation, and a giant stone sphere was left suspended in the air…
"This jutsu is just for sealing some disobedient Tailed Beasts…" As Sasuke spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Naruto, then continued, "Now it seems it's most suitable for use on Orochimaru."
"Next up…"
"The Seventh Gate, the Gate of Shock: Open! Daytime Tiger!"
A ball of white chakra air bullet transformed into a sky-swallowing white tiger, which suddenly struck the stone sphere in the air. The entire stone sphere shattered under the impact of the Daytime Tiger, turning into sand and dust and dissipating…
Sasuke Uchiha calmly deactivated his Eight Gates mode, spread his hands, and explained, "This way, Orochimaru can be perfectly dealt with… In the future, as long as we pay attention to cleaning up the curse marks left by Orochimaru, we can ensure that he will not be revived."
"…Really…"
Jiraiya's expression was a little complicated. "Thank you for your trouble!"
In the Ninja Academy, Orochimaru had always been number one, and he had always been the dead-last. But this did not prevent them from establishing a friendship…
They had attended classes together, trained together, became disciples of the Third Hokage together, went on missions together, participated in the Great Ninja War together, and were bullied by Tsunade together…
A friend of several decades had turned to dust before his eyes. This feeling was not particularly good. Things had changed, and he felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.
"You're welcome. This is what I should do." Sasuke waved his hand and said softly, "After all, I've wanted to kill him for more than just a day or two…"
"…"
With Orochimaru's death, their journey was about to come to an end. All that was left was to find Orochimaru's lairs and see just how much of a debt of sin he had left behind…
Due to Naruto's broken mouth, Kabuto had chosen to re-examine himself and had proactively surrendered, revealing intelligence about Orochimaru.
The group quickly rushed to Orochimaru's nearest lair. As for Sasori of the Red Sand, he could have originally returned to the Hidden Sand, but for some reason, this guy had also followed along…
Orochimaru's lair, just like a real venomous snake, was hidden underground on a hillside, covered by soil and reinforced with rock. The patterns were so intricate they made one dizzy.
Rows of candlesticks were placed on both sides of the corridor, giving it a somewhat luxurious feel…
It was really unknown how Orochimaru could live here without suffocating, and how many jobs he had to work to maintain the daily operation of his lair!
"This is an important location, mainly a place for me and Lord Orochimaru to conduct experiments. There is also a training room specially built for Sasuke-kun…" Kabuto explained, "The rest are ordinary people used as experimental materials. Usually, they are…"
As he spoke, his expression suddenly froze, because a familiar figure had appeared in this lair.
Or rather, this person was supposed to be here.
Kabuto looked at the dark shadow in astonishment, then at Sasuke beside him, and couldn't help but say, "How… is it possible… there are two Sasuke Uchihas…"
Naruto subconsciously took a few steps back. Even if that dark shadow was just a silhouette, it was enough for him to imagine the person's appearance. "Why is there another Sasuke…"
"It's pretty normal…"
"I sometimes encounter another version of myself in a certain world. A certain crow goes to extreme lengths to trample on my image."
Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly. He raised his head and looked at the giant python statue in the hall of the lair. On the steps beneath the ferocious snake's head sat a pitch-black figure.
That figure's entire body was shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to see his face clearly. Only the three-tomoe Sharingan in his eyes glowed faintly.
The rogue Sasuke, who had been squatting on the steps, stood up and looked forward. "It seems you've found this place. Are you ready to be sent to your deaths… I don't know where you found this impostor, but are you still indulging in your so-called ninja games with him?"
"Is that… Sasuke…"
Naruto looked at this one, then at that one in terror, gripping his hair tightly. "Which one is the real one…"
"Naruto, don't you already have the answer in your heart?" Jiraiya patted his disciple's head and comforted him in a low voice, "Along the way, you should have also seen… the Sasuke with us has actually been a fake all along."
"Hey… that's a bit too much!"
The corner of Sasuke's mouth twitched, and he covered his forehead helplessly. "No matter how you look at it, I'm the genuine article, right?"
"Look at that guy. Even I can sense that his chakra is strange and treacherous, and his whole body is tainted with Orochimaru's aura, making one sick to the stomach…"
"Boring sophistry."
The rogue Sasuke slowly stepped forward, his blood-red eyes fixed on the other version of himself. "The Uchiha clan never gets bogged down in such disputes… I will use the ninja sword in my hand to scrape the flesh from your bones, piece by piece. This is the price for offending me!"
A heavy voice fell!
A cold aura emanated from his body!
The temperature of the entire lair even felt a little chilly!
That three-tomoe Sharingan stared deadly at the impostor in the Konoha ANBU uniform before him. He only needed a small genjutsu to make him kneel in a sorry state!
