Chapter 485: Alter Heaven and the Heavenly Seal Combo!
Chapter 485: Alter Heaven and the Heavenly Seal Combo!
Under the bright moonlight, several Root Division ninjas escorted Danzo through the Konoha Barrier.
A short while after their departure, three more figures appeared, dressed in black with red cloud patterns and wearing straw hats. One of them extended their right hand, and numerous black runes, like tadpoles, floated on the transparent barrier, seemingly chewing through it to create an opening.
It was none other than Dong Ping and his team.
"Let's go!" Dong Ping said as he retracted his hand and spoke to the two individuals behind him, also dressed in Akatsuki attire.
Among them, Hyuga Cangyue held a burlap sack, and by its outline, it seemed to contain a person.
Indeed, Dong Ping had brought out an unexpected individual from Konoha.
Due to the unique nature of this incident, they needed to use the cover of Akatsuki.
Regardless, the blame for this would undoubtedly fall on the other party, not the Shell Organization.
This way, both the Shell Organization and Akatsuki would have taken action against Konoha, effectively diverting some of Konoha's energy.
Hyuga Cangyue and Uchiha Yai nodded slightly and followed Dong Ping through the barrier.
This time, they would also make a detour to Heavenguard Tower on their way back.
For now, there wasn't much excitement to witness in the village.
Although the Uchiha's dissatisfaction remained, the absence of Zhi Shui, a powerful card, had cooled them down, as if they had been doused with a bucket of ice water.
However, as long as the village continued to suppress and ostracize the Uchiha, this dissatisfaction would accumulate and eventually erupt, and it wouldn't take long.
Of course, Dong Ping and his team couldn't stay in Konoha indefinitely, so they planned to return to Heavenguard Tower first.
Before leaving, they intended to obtain the Mangekyou Sharingan from Danzo's eyes.
After departing from Konoha, Dong Ping and his team didn't rush to catch up; they planned to wait until they were further away from the village before taking action.
"Huh!"
Dong Ping suddenly noticed something intriguing.
"What is it?"
Uchiha Yai, who was beside him, turned to look.
"This direction... Don't rush to make a move!"
Dong Ping muttered to himself and changed his original plan.
Yes, he decided to hold off on taking action for the time being.
The direction Danzo was heading in gave Dong Ping a vague idea of his destination.
If it were anyone else, they might think Danzo was up to no good.
But Dong Ping certainly didn't think that way.
Because hidden there was a 'venomous snake,' and Danzo was likely going to meet with him.
Orochimaru! The strongest research fanatic in the Shinobi World, and Dong Ping was genuinely interested in him.
In the past, he had tried to find Orochimaru's trail but to no avail.
The problem was that he couldn't locate him.
It was unclear how Orochimaru managed it, but he was incredibly well-hidden, so much so that even Hyuga Cangyue couldn't find him.
However, this time, with a 'guide,' the situation was different.
A pleasant surprise!
Dong Ping had never been unable to defeat Orochimaru; he just couldn't control him.
Techniques like the Heavenly Seal, which Orochimaru used against Konan, wouldn't be very effective against him.
Because Orochimaru could quickly break free and even pretend to be affected, only to turn the tables and strike back, which would be tragic.
But things were different now!
Dong Ping had a powerful technique up his sleeve.
Alter Heaven! He wouldn't use it on just anyone, but using it on Orochimaru would be a thousand times worth it.
Furthermore, the future Filial Son could use it, indicating that this technique didn't necessarily require Zhi Shui's personal involvement.
"Yai, if you were to use Zhi Shui's Mangekyou Sharingan and perform Alter Heaven, would there be any issues?"
Dong Ping asked.
Even though he felt there wouldn't be any problems, he wanted to confirm by asking.
"It's possible!"
Uchiha Yai nodded.
If she weren't of Uchiha blood, she might need a long time to familiarize herself with it, but being an Uchiha, using another's Mangekyou Sharingan might consume more chakra than the original owner, but there would be no issues.
"That's good!"
Dong Ping nodded.
So, Orochimaru, you think you can escape?
This time, we'll give you a Heavenly Seal and Alter Heaven combo, and see what you do.
Especially the Heavenly Seal! If used alone, it wouldn't have much effect on Orochimaru.
The problem is, with Alter Heaven, Orochimaru would never be able to break free. Over time, this seal, which targets the spirit and soul, could transform the opponent into Dong Ping's form.
Anyway, with double insurance, if Orochimaru could break free from this control, Dong Ping would have no choice but to accept it.
Whether it's Alter Heaven or the Heavenly Seal, they both target the spirit or soul, which is Orochimaru's fatal weakness and Achilles' heel.
Orochimaru, who had begun researching 'Immortal Reincarnation', already had a weak soul.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been easily defeated by the Filial Son's illusion later on.
Even the ordinary illusions of the Sharingan couldn't withstand it, so how could they possibly resist Alter Heaven, the ultimate illusion?
Orochimaru was as good as done for!
And there was only one chance.
If Orochimaru knew about Alter Heaven, there would definitely be no second chance.
Not to mention his combat abilities, his survival skills were truly formidable, comparable to the Six Paths Lazy You Bastard.
"Are you going to use Alter Heaven on Danzo?"
Hyuuga Cangyue, who was tracking with the Reincarnated Eye, turned back to ask.
"No, Danzo doesn't deserve it!"
Dong Ping shook his head.
This was also his inner thought.
Although Danzo held a special position in Konoha, having him as a pawn would undoubtedly bring many benefits.
But for Dong Ping, no matter how many benefits Danzo brought, it was still not enough.
Even if Konoha offered him Danzo, he wouldn't dare accept.
It's toxic! If he were to get involved, he might be 'plot-killed' and have his intelligence reduced, later becoming a target for Naruto to slap in the face.
Therefore, Danzo's value was far less than Orochimaru's.
With Orochimaru as the chosen researcher, Dong Ping could have it easy in all aspects of research, and even delegate some ordinary research to him.
In terms of pure research ability, Dong Ping was actually inferior to Orochimaru.
But who could blame him for creating a product like the Qingming Elixir, which directly increased learning efficiency by tens or even hundreds of times, making him almost inhuman, thus surpassing Orochimaru.
Moreover, apart from the Qingming Elixir, his blood was the most enigmatic substance.
His growth to this day was entirely due to his own hard work... and his blood.
For Orochimaru, a chosen researcher, Dong Ping was determined.
One day later!
Dong Ping and his group arrived at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Fields.
Upon arrival, Danzo ordered several Root Division members to stand guard nearby, while he himself stood in the center of a flat area.
Meanwhile, Dong Ping and his group hid in a cave nearby.
With Hyuuga Cangyue's presence, digging out such a cave silently was not a problem at all.
As for those Root Division members?
Sorry, for Dong Ping's group with Hyuuga Cangyue, they could simply ignore them.
The location and arrangement of the Root Division members were all within their sight, and approaching them was as easy as pie.
Moreover, if they got too close, Uchiha Yai's illusions were not for show.
She was a Body Illusion Triple Sage, and although her illusions were not as powerful as Shizuka Uchiha's, it didn't mean anyone could just brush them off. These Root Division ninjas could be taken down with just a glance.
However, due to their excellent concealment, they naturally weren't discovered by the Root Division members.
The current Root Division was vastly different from before.
After several visits from the Shell Organization, they had lost many elite members, and later, a batch was annihilated by Nagato. When they tried to absorb the Aburame Clan, they were thwarted, resulting in a significant decline in the Root Division's strength.
In this situation, there were at most only a few Jonin-level Root Division ninjas, and the idea of them discovering Dong Ping's group was simply a dream.
Inside the cave, Hyuuga Cangyue directly transformed into a humanoid excavator, silently digging a passage that led to a few dozen meters behind Danzo, just a thin layer away from the surface, allowing them to clearly hear and see (through an observation hole) the situation above.
"Seal!"
Dong Ping clapped his hands on the ground, causing a large number of sealing runes to spread, hiding their sounds, smells, and chakra in this area.
After completing the preparations, the three of them quietly waited for the protagonist to appear.
Soon enough, the 'protagonist' made his entrance.
