The large Summoning Technique array set up by Orochimaru was originally planned to intercept the stragglers from the Cloud Shinobi, Rock Shinobi, and Sand Ninja Villages.
However, now, Orochimaru is even targeting Kirigakure.
This is equivalent to a clear declaration that his cooperation with Yūto has ended.
"Is it because of the technique left by Hashirama Senju that you gained confidence? Or, have you already guessed what the fallback plan Hashirama Senju left behind is?"
Yūto's expression was indifferent, and he muttered softly to himself.
The appearance of the True Several Thousand Hands technique likely made Orochimaru understand that Hashirama Senju back then might have truly left behind a fallback plan to deal with Yūto.
Thinking about it now, the reason Orochimaru had always appeared so compliant was likely not only out of fear of Yūto's terrifying strength but also to confirm this matter.
Yūto looked coldly in Orochimaru's direction; betrayal is something everyone dislikes.
Especially since this person who betrayed him is the only one, besides the Mist Ninja Village, who knows one of his identities.
"Yūto-sama, I will go deal with him."
Kisame Hoshigaki grinned, hoisted Samehada onto his shoulder, and prepared to charge forward.
"No need, take off your black base red cloud robe." Yūto stopped Kisame Hoshigaki and said in a flat tone.
Kisame Hoshigaki was taken aback for a moment, but without hesitation, he immediately took off the Akatsuki Organization's black base red robe he was wearing.
Yūto glanced at the robe, casually put it on, and looked coldly in Orochimaru's direction.
"Yūto-sama, are you planning to make a move?"
Ameyuri Ringo, standing beside him, spoke softly, a hint of worry flashing across her face.
Yūto naturally knew that Ameyuri Ringo's worry was not about his strength but about the possibility of Yūto's identity being discovered.
"Since Orochimaru chose to betray me, I will personally deal with him. Moreover, I don't have attack methods as obvious as those of Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara, let alone…"
Yūto stopped speaking at this point and glanced at the Akatsuki Organization robe on his body.
He could also pin this matter on the Akatsuki Organization.
Yūto stomped down forcefully, turning into an afterimage and disappearing from Kisame Hoshigaki's and the others' sight.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was controlling the True Several Thousand Hands, was somewhat bewildered when he saw Orochimaru suddenly make a move in front of him.
Clearly, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't understand for a moment why Orochimaru, who was supposed to be an enemy, suddenly started helping Konoha?
"It seems this matter is not as simple as it appears on the surface?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's brow furrowed, and he muttered softly to himself.
Just at this moment!
A black afterimage, like a streak of light, rushed towards Orochimaru, instantly attracting Hiruzen Sarutobi's attention.
At this moment, Orochimaru, who was standing on the spot, suddenly felt an extremely dangerous sensation rise from deep within him.
However, there was no sign of tension on Orochimaru's face; instead, he seemed to let out a sigh of relief and revealed a slow smile.
Bang!
A simple, direct punch landed squarely on Orochimaru's head. Due to the extreme speed, Orochimaru seemed to not even have time to turn, and his entire body was already blasted into smithereens.
Yūto casually shook off the dirt on his hand, watching Orochimaru's body turn into a pile of mud, his face showing no surprise.
"Here." Yūto's gaze instantly darted towards a spot, and he lightly stomped his foot.
The ground beneath Yūto's foot instantly cracked, as if subjected to excessive pressure, and the underground dirt erupted directly from beneath like a volcanic eruption.
Within the erupting dirt was Orochimaru's figure, his body even stained with traces of blood.
"As expected of Yūto-sama, this little trick indeed couldn't escape your eyes…"
Not caring about the dirt all over his body, Orochimaru let out a low chuckle. However, before he could finish speaking, the lower half of his body had already disappeared.
To be precise, it shouldn't be considered disappearing; it was just completely scattered into a pulp by a punch from his right hand.
Yūto naturally didn't possess the so-called monstrous strength, but the Black Emperor's ability was simply absorption, conversion, and then release.
The power generated by instantly releasing energy in his fist was even much greater than the so-called monstrous strength.
Seeing Orochimaru, who was left with only half a body and had fallen to the ground, Yūto raised an eyebrow. In the final moment, Orochimaru had reacted, barely managing to control his softened body to make Yūto's attack land on his lower half.
Boom!
Suddenly, a roar came from underground, followed by the body of a giant snake burrowing out from beneath and swallowing Yūto in one gulp.
Not only did the remaining half of Orochimaru's body not lose its life, but taking advantage of the moment Manda swallowed Yūto, he quickly formed hand seals with both hands.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Orochimaru, with only half a body remaining, suddenly opened his mouth, and the curve of his mouth continuously widened.
Orochimaru, his face pale and his body covered in an unknown liquid, slowly emerged from this half-body.
"That was truly terrifying!" Orochimaru murmured, his eyes filled with apprehension.
"Orochimaru, this is the guy you were worried about… Ah!!!"
Manda looked at Orochimaru with disdainful eyes, his mocking tone only halfway finished when Manda's body suddenly stiffened.
Puff!
Blood spurted towards the sky from the middle of Manda's belly, splashing in all directions.
Manda's entire body, as if cut in half at the waist, split directly down the middle.
Besides letting out a bloodcurdling scream, Manda didn't even manage to say a single harsh word before his giant body turned into white smoke and disappeared.
Clearly, he had returned to the Summoning Realm.
Manda's sky-high blood splashed onto Orochimaru's body, directly dyeing Orochimaru's entire body red.
Orochimaru licked his lips, licking clean the blood at the corner of his mouth, his pupils constricted as he looked forward at Yūto, who was walking towards him with a calm expression.
It was clearly Yūto who was swallowed, but on Yūto's body, there wasn't a single trace of blood.
Not daring to hesitate in the slightest, Orochimaru's hands rapidly formed seals again.
He said no more nonsense. The previous scene made Orochimaru realize that a Ninja like Yūto simply wouldn't care what he said.
Orochimaru reached out, slammed his hand towards the ground, and at the same time let out a low shout:
"Summoning Technique—Triple Rasho… Puff!"
Orochimaru's Ninjutsu hadn't even been unleashed yet when Yūto, at some unknown point, appeared before Orochimaru and casually swung both hands, severing Orochimaru's arms.
Yūto extended his arm, grabbed Orochimaru's head, and casually lifted him into the air.
"Didn't you want to witness my strength? This is my strength. The Three Ninja's Cold Emperor—Orochimaru, that's not a bad title. Unfortunately, in my eyes, you're no different from an ant."
Yūto said in a flat voice, holding Orochimaru up with one hand.
Blood continuously overflowed from Orochimaru's mouth. Hearing Yūto's words just now, his eyes were filled with madness. However, before Orochimaru could make a move.
The hand Yūto used to grab Orochimaru lightly exerted force and shook.
Orochimaru's entire body was like broken pottery, turning into tiny particles and completely scattering in mid-air.
On the shattered ground, in a very hidden location, a white snake as thick as a finger rapidly fled into the distance.
However, before this small snake could crawl far, it was stepped on by a foot extended by Yūto, crushing it into a puddle of white paste.
