Chapter 182 - Chapter 184: Eight Branches Technique

Naruto World, Konoha Village.

"That voice!" Jiraiya's eyes widened slightly; he never expected that the battle between the Uchiha brothers would feature his old friend's voice.

"..."

Kakashi also wore a very solemn expression; he was all too familiar with this voice as well.

The owner of this voice was quite famous in Konoha.

"Who is it?"

Naruto was puzzled, not understanding why Pervy Sage and Kakashi-sensei were so agitated.

Naruto World, Akatsuki Organization.

"That voice... it's Orochimaru."

Deidara showed a look of great disgust; that guy's voice was as unpleasant as ever. Just hearing it...

Deidara felt as if he could see many slimy snakes.

"Orochimaru is inside Sasuke?"

Seeing Sasuke's painful expression, Sasori's voice became somewhat subtle; clearly, he hadn't expected this either.

Orochimaru was actually staying inside Sasuke's body, and hearing his words now, it seemed he wanted to lend his power to Sasuke.

One must know that Sasuke had no Chakra left and was extremely weak; would Orochimaru have good intentions appearing now?

Sasori didn't believe it; having spent time with him, Sasori knew exactly what kind of guy Orochimaru was.

This guy would never show his face at a time like this if there were no benefits.

"This is bad." Kakuzu spoke up, looking at Sasuke's painful expression in the video and saying calmly, "If Orochimaru comes out, both Sasuke and Itachi will be finished."

"..."

Kisame didn't speak; he glanced at Uchiha Itachi beside him, as if to say...

Itachi-san, should we go find Orochimaru now and kill him?

Because Orochimaru's appearance at this time could be said to be very calculated.

After a fierce fight, both Sasuke and Itachi had reached their limits, and Itachi had revealed his last trump card.

If Orochimaru were to come out of Sasuke's body, he would surely appear in full health, which would be quite unfavorable for Itachi.

So Kisame suggested whether they should go kill Orochimaru now!

Hidden Sand Village border.

"Oh?" Orochimaru smiled, a very happy smile, because he also thought his appearance would be the final straw to crush Itachi.

Itachi was strong, no doubt; even now, Orochimaru didn't think he was Itachi's match.

But in the video, it was different. Orochimaru felt that once he appeared, he could definitely surprise Itachi and then deal a fatal blow.

Orochimaru was also someone who cared about his reputation; he had been subdued by Itachi in one move last time and almost died.

This made Orochimaru remember the grudge; he wanted revenge no matter what.

But... in the video, he was about to start his revenge. It was truly something to look forward to—how exactly he would slaughter Itachi.

Orochimaru looked forward to it.

The video continued playing.

"I'll lend it to you..." Just then, a magnetic male voice rang out.

Sasuke painfully clutched his right arm.

"I can lend you my power."

"Don't you need me? Sasuke-kun?"

"Ah!" Sasuke knelt painfully on the ground, his body feeling as if it were being torn apart, sweat drenching him.

Orochimaru's devil-like whisper rang out again, continuing, "Don't you want revenge against Itachi? Come! Release my power!"

"That way, your wish can be..."

Sasuke didn't speak; he still maintained a painful expression, but from his desperately suppressed look...

Sasuke still didn't want Orochimaru to break the seal and come out.

However, without any Chakra, no matter how firm Sasuke's will was, it was useless.

A White Phosphorus Snake emerged from Sasuke's cursed seal and rushed quickly toward the outside.

At this moment, Sasuke's screams were constant, and the misery of his screams was no less than when Itachi had gouged out his eyes in the Tsukuyomi world earlier.

Amidst Sasuke's screams, Yamata no Orochi appeared.

This was Orochimaru's trump card—the Eight Branches Technique.

This Ninjutsu can summon a white snake with eight heads and Tails, and its power is said to be very formidable. Back when Orochimaru was in a room full of forbidden techniques...

He only chose the Eight Branches Technique and Edo Tensei, which shows how important this forbidden technique was to him.

The perspective shifted slightly higher, showing Yamata no Orochi and Susanoo confronting each other.

This visual effect was particularly great, as it suddenly transformed from a common Ninja fight into a battle between a monster and a samurai.

"This feeling is..." Itachi looked at Yamata no Orochi ahead and said calmly, "Orochimaru's Eight Branches Technique?"

"What is that..." White Zetsu was also briefly stunned seeing this.

Black Zetsu explained calmly, "Sasuke's own Chakra has been completely exhausted, yet he insisted on squeezing out more power, so Orochimaru's Chakra, which was suppressed by the seal, escaped to the outside."

While Black Zetsu was speaking, Yamata no Orochi and Susanoo moved, walking toward each other.

Finally, Yamata no Orochi launched the first attack.

"Slash!"

Susanoo took out a Chakra sword from a gourd and cut off the snake head attacking it.

The heads of Yamata no Orochi let out the unique cries of snakes and attacked Susanoo together.

But Susanoo swung its shield, blocking them, and quickly swung its Chakra sword, cutting off three more snake heads.

Finally, three more snake heads entangled Susanoo, clearly intending for the last head to attack it.

At this moment, Susanoo let out an inexplicable cry, then suddenly swung its Chakra sword, cutting off the three snake heads once again.

Now, only one head remained of Yamata no Orochi.

And this last head slowly opened its mouth wide, accompanied by a sound that made people feel uncomfortable coming from the video, and a figure appeared.

Seeing this, Itachi also smiled and said, "The thing that should appear has appeared."

Clearly, he had anticipated this scene long ago.

White Zetsu looked at the figure crawling out of the snake's mouth and said in surprise, "That's..."

"Hehehe..." A man with pale skin and long black hair appeared from the snake's mouth, covered in many transparent liquids; as soon as he came out, he couldn't help but retch.

Then, he spat out a sword from his mouth.

This scene made many people feel physically uncomfortable; in a sense, it was truly disgusting.

White Zetsu also frowned seeing this and said helplessly, "As always, he's a disgusting guy who spits things out of his mouth."

Black Zetsu also commented, "Literally, he's as troublesome as a snake."

The person appearing in the snake's mouth was none other than one of the Konoha Three Legendary Sannin, Orochimaru.
