Chapter 351: Red Eyes, Your Fiance Smells Amazing.JPG!
"Summoning Technique!"
Orochimaru performed the Summoning Jutsu, but this time, instead of Uncle Coming to Fix the Door, he summoned a powerful creature.
Boom! A massive white mist appeared.
"Orochimaru, I want a hundred sacrificial offerings...Damn it!" a cold voice echoed from within the mist.
The summoned beast, a colossal serpent with purple-black stripes and a horned crown, recognized Douhei, who was in Sage Mode, resembling a divine being. Instinctively, it cursed at him.
The serpent was enormous, its size comparable to a tunnel, exuding immense pressure.
Ten Thousand Snakes!
Orochimaru had summoned a sacrificial pawn, one of the three sacred sites, the Ten Thousand Snakes from the Dragon's Lair.
This formidable summoned beast naturally recognized Douhei, and it cursed Orochimaru for summoning it to face such a formidable opponent.
"Three hundred offerings, and I'll help you hold off the enemy with all my strength!" Orochimaru interrupted Ten Thousand Snakes.
Their relationship was straightforward.
"Alright, if you don't deliver after this, I'll eat you!" Ten Thousand Snakes agreed instantly.
Despite knowing the danger, Orochimaru's offer was too tempting to resist.
Pfft! Ten Thousand Snakes spewed out a ball of venom.
Although it was small compared to its massive body, for humans, it was equivalent to a swimming pool's worth.
Normally, Ten Thousand Snakes wouldn't use such an attack, but facing Douhei in Sage Mode, it dared not be careless, opting for caution.
"A mere worm dares to block my path!" Douhei's personality in Sage Mode was distinct from his usual self, his tone arrogant and his actions ruthless.
Whoosh! A violent pillar of fire erupted before Douhei, sending the venom flying.
In Sage Mode, his fire jutsu was enhanced to an extraordinary level.
The current Flame Pillar Formation could topple even large summoned beasts, let alone a ball of venom.
However, facing such a colossal summoned beast, his small stature was a significant disadvantage.
After all, size equated to power.
With such immense size, a single attack could unleash devastation comparable to high-level ninjutsu.
Damn it! Orochimaru was truly devious.
By summoning Ten Thousand Snakes, he created a two-on-one situation, allowing the sacrificial pawn to take the brunt of the attack while he escaped.
Douhei could have summoned Taiichi to fight, but against such an uneven matchup, there seemed little need to disrupt the opponent's evolution.
With the Katsura Tree, Taiichi was constantly growing, so Douhei rarely summoned him during battles.
Since he wasn't summoning Taiichi and Chujumaru was reserved for alter egos, he had no choice but to go all out.
"Divine Technique: Earthfire Technique!"
Douhei once again employed this divine technique.
Hidden in the shadows, Orochimaru's eyes widened as he witnessed Douhei's actions. He had obtained information about Douhei's battle with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and understood the purpose of Douhei's consecutive use of the Earthfire Technique, an A-rank fire jutsu.
Escape! Orochimaru made his decision and quietly abandoned Ten Thousand Snakes to flee.
In Sage Mode, Douhei's sensory abilities were greatly enhanced, allowing him to perceive Orochimaru's movements.
Thus, his initial plan to enhance the final blow's power with additional Earthfire Techniques was abandoned.
Bring it on!
Douhei swiftly formed hand seals.
Boom! Ten Thousand Snakes' tail shattered the ground where Douhei had just jumped away from.
The attack power of large summoned beasts was no joke; a single strike could unleash devastating destruction.
Due to the complexity of the hand seals, Douhei took a few seconds to complete the sequence.
"Fire Jutsu: Earthfire City Devastation!"
With a light shout, he unleashed this S-rank divine technique.
Due to the abundance of research tasks and the technique's low priority, Douhei hadn't modified it; otherwise, it would have been upgraded to a divine spell.
Boom! A terrifying underground beast seemed ready to burst forth.
"Orochimaru!"
Ten Thousand Snakes sensed the impending danger.
Especially the vast natural energy underground made it wary.
Unfortunately, the call of the Ten Thousand Snakes was destined to go unanswered.
Suddenly, a surge of fire pillars erupted from the ground, spewing countless lava.
The Earthfire City Devastation, an S-class ninjutsu, was a city-level attack, and its destructive power and range were unimaginable.
When used in Sage Mode, its power was even more overwhelming.
Not to mention the two Earthfire Techniques used beforehand, which further enhanced the effect.
Flames and lava directly engulfed the entire area.
From the sky, the battlefield was completely swallowed by the flames and lava from the earth.
It was a dead zone!
No matter how fast Orochimaru was, it was impossible to escape the attack range instantly.
Especially in Dong Ping's Sage Mode, his control over Fire Jutsu increased significantly, allowing him to unleash the power of this Sage Technique in the direction of Orochimaru's escape.
It would have been impossible before.
But with the increasing proficiency in Sage Mode and improved control over ninjutsu, achieving this was not impossible.
The sky was torn apart by fire pillars, and the earth was engulfed by lava! Not only would living beings be affected, but even steel would melt.
"Damn you, Orochimaru!"
The angry roar of the Ten Thousand Snakes echoed, but it had already voluntarily released the Summoning Technique and left.
If it had been a moment slower, it would have become a roasted snake.
Even with its speed, it had suffered significant injuries.
The indiscriminate, large-scale Sage Technique caused more damage to larger targets.
A few minutes later!
Everything calmed down.
The area had undergone a drastic change, transforming into a lava lake.
Dong Ping stood on the lava.
He raised his head, and the aura on his body quickly dissipated as he exited Sage Mode.
"Did he manage to escape?"
Dong Ping smirked, genuinely impressed by Orochimaru's ability to survive.
He immediately turned and fled, not engaging in a direct confrontation, and used several secret techniques to withstand the Earthfire City Devastation attack, escaping the range of the assault.
"It seems you didn't complete the village's mission, did you?"
Hyuga Cangyue's voice echoed from the shore behind him.
At this moment, they were the only two people here, and she didn't need to hide, so she spoke up as a reminder.
"..."
Dong Ping's expression froze. He had been so caught up in the thrilling battle that he forgot about the village's mission.
According to the original storyline, Orochimaru indeed never revealed any information about the Leaf Village.
The problem was... with the influence of this time-traveler, he genuinely feared that something unexpected might happen, and such an occurrence was not impossible.
He was no longer an insignificant person; his impact on the ninja world was immense.
"Let's pursue him!"
Dong Ping made his decision immediately.
Although his chakra was almost depleted, Orochimaru still had the strength for one more battle.
However, the opponent would surely sense that he had no intention of killing, and if Orochimaru didn't play along, he wouldn't mind trying out his sealing technique on a snake.
Even without the Ten Fist Sword, a sealing artifact, his sealing technique was still usable.
Hyuga Cangyue found it amusing and led the way around the lava lake.
Without her, Dong Ping's chances of tracking down Orochimaru were slim.
But with the Reincarnation Eye, catching up to Orochimaru was no problem.
Traces invisible to the naked eye could still be seen by the Reincarnation Eye, making it the ultimate tool for tracking.
However, it must be said that Orochimaru was exceptionally skilled at hiding.
Even with Hyuga Cangyue guiding him, it took half a day to locate the direction of Orochimaru's whereabouts in the late hours of the night.
Boom!!
In the distance, a loud and muffled sound of battle echoed, as if a colossal being was fighting.
"???"
Dong Ping was perplexed.
However, they had not yet entered the five-kilometer range, so even Hyuga Cangyue couldn't see the situation, and they could only accelerate.
Hyuga Cangyue, on the other hand, was in high spirits as she accompanied him.
She viewed this pursuit as a great opportunity to spend time with Dong Ping, so her mood was excellent.
Red eyes, your fiance is truly amazing!
