Chapter 691: Orochimaru's Betrayal!
Chapter 691: Orochimaru's Betrayal!
After the pillar of fire that pierced through the heavens and earth dissipated...
The vast lake was now devoid of even a drop of water, replaced by a crater several dozen meters high and a kilometer in diameter, filled with overflowing lava.
Countless streams of water flowed around the crater, rushing towards the Valley of Termination downstream.
Yes, a volcanic crater!
With a single powerful strike from Lord Tang Ping, he had created a volcanic crater with his bare hands.
"Is... is he a deity?"
"Is this the 'Hyper Shadow' level that the Skyguard Tower mentioned?"
"Lord Tang Ping..."
...
Divine power!
Anyone witnessing this scene would be left in awe.
The only good news, perhaps, was that the commotion was immense and would require a significant amount of preparation time.
From this moment on, these powerful individuals acknowledged Lord Tang Ping as a 'Hyper Shadow' level ninja.
There is no first in literature, no second in martial arts!
Before personally facing him, they all believed they could match Lord Tang Ping, never admitting that someone could be stronger than themselves, no matter how impressive their opponent's records might be.
Only now did they truly acknowledge that his strength was on the Hyper Shadow level.
And Hyper Shadow was a term from the new evaluation standard.
When Lord Tang Ping first debuted in the Chuunin Exams and sold ninja information, he proposed this evaluation standard.
The Skyguard Tower evaluated ninjas based on this standard.
However, the five great ninja villages did not recognize it.
Now, they had no choice but to acknowledge it, as Lord Tang Ping was undeniably a level above them.
A qualitative difference!
Hyper Shadow... The naming of this level made perfect sense, as it surpassed even the Kage-level ninjas.
But after the initial shock, everyone was delighted by what they saw.
Above the volcanic crater, the Wooden Man, Wooden Dragon, and Flame Giant had all vanished, leaving only Lord Tang Ping, suspended in mid-air with his Blaze Wings spread wide, and his chest pierced by the wooden spear held by Senju Hashirama.
However, Senju Hashirama's body was also shattered, slowly regenerating.
"Opportunity!"
This thought flashed through everyone's minds simultaneously.
Whoosh!
Numerous figures dashed towards the crater at lightning speed.
Zzzzz!
Ai's speed was astonishing.
In Lightning Chakra Mode, even if he couldn't match the hacked abilities of Namikaze Minato, he was still far superior to the others.
Above the volcano's mouth.
Lord Tang Ping formed hand seals and descended towards the broken body of Senju Hashirama.
As long as he captured his opponent, he could seal him completely.
After all, one only had one soul.
If he sealed his opponent, neither the Pure Land nor Orochimaru would be able to continue using Dazhu for their schemes.
Whoosh!
Lord Tang Ping sensed something amiss amidst the faint sound of breaking air.
Senju Tobirama!
Indeed, the opponent had suddenly switched positions with Senju Tobirama.
If it weren't for the knowledge that the opponent didn't possess the Sharingan, Lord Tang Ping might have suspected that he had awakened the 'Divine Power.'
Damn!
Lord Tang Ping's gaze instinctively shifted towards Orochimaru.
Beside him, Dazhu was forming a body out of numerous paper scraps.
The Summoned Corpses could indeed resurrect indefinitely, but their souls would be affected during the revival process.
In other words, each resurrection consumed a portion of the soul, until the soul energy was completely depleted and vanished.
That was why Senju Tobirama had sealed this technique initially.
Dazhu's soul had been significantly depleted in the previous battle, so they didn't need to worry about him taking action again for a while.
However... If he couldn't seal Dazhu, sealing Senju Tobirama, the 'pillar' of the research field, would also be a good outcome.
In the entire ninja world, when it came to development and research capabilities, Senju Tobirama was undoubtedly the strongest.
Most of the forbidden techniques in the Wood Style Sealing Scroll were developed by him. Capturing him would allow Lord Tang Ping to milk him for all he was worth.
Furthermore, Lord Tang Ping was confident in handling Senju Tobirama, unlike Senju Hashirama.
So, this outcome was acceptable.
At the same time, with his heart pierced, Lord Tang Ping was naturally 'baiting.'
He had already made up his mind to prepare for the upcoming situation, and what could be better than having the Skyguard Tower's core member 'severely injured'?
If he had shown off too much today, the Daimyo and the nobles might have backed down later.
That wouldn't do!
If they didn't take action against the Skyguard Tower, how could they justify their counterattack and seize the opportunity to wage a ninja world war?
No way, this is absolutely unacceptable!
That's why Tang Ping gave his opponent a chance.
He intentionally gave Senju Hashirama an opening, allowing him to use a wooden spear to stab his heart.
To others, this would be a mutual destruction.
But for Tang Ping, who possesses 'Elementalization', it was nothing, even if his heart was pierced or his head chopped off.
As long as he didn't release the Elementalization, he would be fine.
Of course, it's a different story if he were to be completely blown apart.
Moreover, he had another hidden trump card.
Nirvana Technique!
Even with his heart pierced, as long as he wasn't instantly defeated, he could quickly recover from his injuries.
At most, it would only consume a significant amount of his energy.
The difference between Nirvana Technique and Elementalization is that Nirvana Technique can only be activated after being injured.
With two life-saving secret techniques, Tang Ping felt confident enough to reveal his hand.
In the past, he had been overly cautious.
Life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills!
At this moment, Tang Ping fully utilized his acting skills.
Cough!
As he coughed lightly, a large amount of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
It was obvious that he was severely injured.
Swish! With fingers as sharp as blades, he cut off the wooden spear in his chest and then, with great effort, sealed Sage of the Six Paths within the scroll.
At this moment, the flame pattern on his forehead and the scorching oppressive aura on his body disappeared, and he exited Sage Mode.
Ai arrived just in time.
"Lightning Style: Absolute Bull Lightning Cleaving Hot Blade!"
It was only because Kirabi was slightly slower than him; otherwise, it would have been a combined technique.
Boom! Tang Ping was sent flying, and blood splattered in the air.
Perfect!
Tang Ping believed that his acting deserved a perfect score.
He had perfectly portrayed a state of weakened strength due to injury.
Now, no one would doubt that he was severely injured and might even die naturally without any intervention.
After all, his heart had been pierced.
"Dust Style: Original World Separation Technique!"
Daioh, who had flown nearby, took the opportunity to strike while Tang Ping was down.
A glimmer of light shone in his palm.
If he were to be hit by the Dust Style, neither Elementalization nor Nirvana Technique could save him, so Tang Ping was most wary of Daioh.
But before he could even dodge or react, he realized it wasn't necessary.
Hiss! Several venomous snakes bit Daioh from below.
Facing the ambush, Daioh naturally stopped and dodged, then shouted angrily, "Orochimaru, have you gone mad?"
Indeed, the attacker was his 'ally'.
Orochimaru, standing on the magma, stared at Daioh with his golden vertical pupils, like a venomous snake eyeing its prey.
Cold and merciless! It was clear that he had made up his mind to deal with Daioh.
The reason?
Of course, it was because Orochimaru coveted Tang Ping's perfect body, his hope for immortality. How could he possibly allow it to be destroyed?
If it were an attack that didn't harm the body, Orochimaru wouldn't mind, and might even welcome it.
But Dust Style was out of the question! A single Dust Style attack would leave nothing behind, not even cells, so Orochimaru attacking Daioh was inevitable.
After all, they were just 'plastic brothers', and backstabbing was a basic operation.
As Orochimaru made his move, Kurama also ambushed Yellow Earth from the shadows.
However, it wasn't a close-range attack; instead, he used venomous snakes.
If it were a close-range fight, Kurama might have been defeated by a single blow from the two-meter-tall, burly man.
So, on the Stone Country Ninja's side, only Han, the Jinchuriki of the Five-Tails, charged forward.
As he quickly reached the magma below Tang Ping, Han's eyes gleamed as if he had spotted his prey.
Unfortunately, he didn't notice that Tang Ping, who was falling towards him, had the same intense gaze.
Although he had to act severely injured to set up his plan, a severely injured powerful individual is as dangerous as a wild beast, and it's not unusual for them to kill several people in retaliation.
He was prepared to go on a killing spree, and if he couldn't even defeat a High-Rank Ninja, how could he proceed?
Han was his first prey.
