Chapter 864: Eliminating Future Troubles!
Chapter 864: Eliminating Future Troubles!
"You're crazy!"
A thunderous declaration, an opening gambit that shook the very air.
However, to his dismay, Sasuke remained unperturbed, his gaze fixed calmly upon Tang Ping.
This reaction caused Tang Ping to pause.
Age aside, Sasuke was no ordinary person; he was a ninja, and his composure was a testament to his training.
"Orochimaru has left a backup plan within you!"
Upon seeing Ergouzi's expression, Tang Ping's amusement vanished, and he spoke bluntly.
Orochimaru's backup plan!
In the original story, Daxiaozzi forced Orochimaru to reveal himself, then sealed him with the 'Juken Sword'.
But Tang Ping had no intention of letting Daxiaozzi take the credit. He was ready to handle it himself.
After all, why should he let Daxiaozzi have all the glory?
Tang Ping also wanted to see how much Orochimaru could withstand with his Sharingan, now that he had Tang Ping's assistance.
He had even prepared a special potion to counteract Orochimaru's bloodline illness, ensuring his recovery and allowing him to 'atone' for his sins.
Sometimes, living could be more unbearable than death.
Especially for someone like Orochimaru, who had no regard for women and wielded his sword with divine skill.
To make him a 'stud' for the Uchiha clan's procreation was a fitting punishment, one that would make him wish for death.
However, with Tang Ping's abilities, even death was not an option for Orochimaru.
He could even be resurrected from death!
Tang Ping harbored nothing but ill will towards him.
Orochimaru's double standards and his ability to feign innocence only fueled Tang Ping's anger.
"Is that so...?"
Upon hearing about Orochimaru's backup plan, Sasuke not only showed no concern but also exhaled in relief, as if he had anticipated this all along.
Tang Ping understood the reason for Sasuke's reaction when he saw Ergouzi's expression.
Indeed, Sasuke believed that someone like Orochimaru would never allow himself to be so easily consumed by his own creation without leaving a backup plan.
Now that this was confirmed, Sasuke felt reassured.
Knowing that Orochimaru had a backup plan allowed him to find a solution, rather than being clueless and having no path to resolve the issue.
In the original story, Sasuke, after successfully countering Orochimaru, immediately formed the 'Eagle' squad to hunt down Daxiaozzi, indicating that he had some premonition and was afraid of running out of time, so he hurried to take action.
It could be said that Ergouzi's personality was the typical behavior of a ninja.
If it were Naruto's personality, and he wasn't the protagonist, who knows how many times he would have died in the Shinobi World.
"Helping you deal with Orochimaru's backup plan is an added service!"
Tang Ping praised Tianzhu with an appreciative glance, unsure if it was because He Jue hadn't manipulated him, but the Indra Chakra within Tianzhu showed no signs of affecting his personality.
Unlike Naruto, who had completely transformed into Asura's form, Tianzhu retained his original self.
He was Rikudo's favorite child.
"I appreciate your help," Sasuke said sincerely.
He understood that Tang Ping didn't have to intervene, but he did, and it was all because of his teacher, Hyuga Tsukuyuki.
Yes, that was the crucial point!
If Sasuke wasn't Tsukuyuki's student, he wouldn't have the 'ally' buff, and Tang Ping wouldn't have cared if he died.
Tang Ping's decision to help was based on Sasuke's affiliation with Tsukuyuki.
Swish! Tang Ping produced a scroll and began forming hand seals.
"Release!"
With his command, a half-transparent shadow, the size of a pillow, emerged from the scroll, brandishing a short sword and bearing Tang Ping's visage.
"This..."
Instinctively, Sasuke wanted to back away.
Fortunately, he quickly regained control of himself.
His reaction wasn't born of cowardice but was a natural response.
Just as humans recoil from fire and sheep flee from wolves, it was an innate survival instinct.
Even though the shadow took on Tang Ping's form, it was still the embodiment of death.
In its presence, living beings, like sheep before a wolf, couldn't help but react instinctively.
"Let me introduce you," Tang Ping said casually.
The pillow-sized shadow waved at Sasuke, a gesture that sent chills down his spine.
Because he was well aware that Tang Ping was called the 'Death God', and with this ominous feeling, it was possible that he was indeed the Death God.
But a god that instilled fear in others was being manipulated like a puppet by him, and the implications behind this were even more terrifying.
At this moment, Sasuke felt that he was seeing less and less of Tang Ping.
Previously, he only knew that Tang Ping was strong, but to what extent, he could only imagine. Now, as they interacted, Sasuke felt even more uncertain about him.
"Next, I'll take care of Orochimaru's backup plan, but you must remain calm and not resist in any way. Can you do that?"
After explaining, Tang Ping asked Sasuke seriously.
If Sasuke were to resist fiercely, it might awaken the Indra Chakra within him, and that would be troublesome.
Although Tang Ping wasn't afraid, he didn't want to confront Sasuke head-on just yet.
"Alright!"
Sasuke nodded, focusing his mind to suppress his instincts.
Tang Ping, controlling the Death God, extended his left claw towards Sasuke.
Sasuke's body seemed to be nonexistent in front of the Death God's claws, allowing the claws to enter his body.
At this moment, Tang Ping, with the Death God's soul perspective to see Sasuke's soul state clearly.
Three-colored soul orbs!
This indicated that there were three consciousnesses within him.
During the time Tang Ping had possessed Sasuke, he had not only transformed him into his own image but also experimented with various abilities. It was no surprise that he could now identify the meaning of the colors at a glance.
One of the soul orbs, a purple one that appeared illusory and distant, made Tang Ping feel a sense of apprehension.
This must be Indra's Chakra.
Although it had consciousness, it was in a state of slumber, and as long as it wasn't disturbed, it wouldn't awaken easily.
If it were the Death God from before, it wouldn't stand a chance against Indra. But now, with Tang Ping's soul controlling it, even if Indra were to awaken, he had the confidence to suppress him.
Indra's personality was well known; he didn't study souls and relied solely on his Yin Doton prowess in this regard, which couldn't compare to the Death God.
However, if Indra were to be provoked, Rikudo would undoubtedly intervene immediately. Therefore, even though Tang Ping craved Sasuke's Chakra, he had no intention of taking advantage of the situation to study it.
No rush! He would wait until he ascended to Rikudo's level before dealing with the Great Tree Wood Clan, at least expelling them from the Ninja World to prevent it from becoming their family affair.
In Tang Ping's opinion, the Ninja World's suffering was largely caused by the Great Tree Wood Clan.
If it weren't for their meddling, the situation wouldn't have become so dire.
Tang Ping naturally wouldn't touch Sasuke's soul, which represented his color, so the green soul orb that exuded a chilling aura was self-evident.
Orochimaru!
He was just waiting for Sasuke to show a weakness so that he could take over this body.
And when he had used himself as nourishment to help Sasuke's spiritual growth, it was all in preparation for his future self, which was why the process had gone so smoothly.
Otherwise, with such a strong will, Sasuke would have fought back fiercely, and it was unlikely that he would have been devoured so easily.
If Tang Ping hadn't acquired the Death God, even as the master of the soul realm, it would have taken him a long time to understand Sasuke's state, let alone precisely discern his soul.
But with the Death God, it was like an instinct.
The left claw first gripped the green soul orb, and even though it tried to bite back like a venomous snake, it had no effect on the Death God's claw.
The right claw held the short soul dagger in its mouth and then slashed towards Sasuke.
Sasuke felt a sense of death approaching as his mind warned him of the danger he was in.
His instincts urged him to dodge!
But as a resilient ninja, he forcefully controlled his instincts, allowing the Death God, the size of a bolster pillow, to slash the small dagger into his body.
Only the Death God's clone, with its soul vision, could see this.
The green soul orb was directly slashed, separating from Sasuke's soul orb, and then the left claw exerted force to extract it.
If it had been Hyuga Tsukuyuki or even Tang Ping himself, extracting the soul would have been extremely difficult.
But for someone like Orochimaru, whose soul had inherent flaws, if Tang Ping hadn't been concerned about Sasuke, he could have easily extracted it with a simple grab.
There was almost no resistance.
