Kakuzu's death was not accidental.
Di Yu Yuan is indeed powerful, and its ability to remain immortal is itself a manifestation of its strength.
Throughout their long lives, horns can replenish their combat experience and strengthen themselves to their heart's content.
However... Di Yu Yuan's weakness, which is almost an open target, is also extremely fatal.
It's been too long since I've tasted the flavor of being on the verge of death.
Kakuzu has long lost the crisis response that a human being should have.
Moreover, he was facing Qingchuan, who knew all his weaknesses and was planning to kill him to silence him.
I want to be accepted by Xiao.
It's not good to always have people gossiping in your ear...
Before joining Akatsuki, the green-tea-loving Aokawa wouldn't allow anyone to ruin his image...
After defeating Kakuzu, there were no further obstacles on the way to Orochimaru.
The ground was still littered with corpses.
It was less than before, but it was still creepy.
But apart from that.
Everything was going so smoothly.
Everything went smoothly... until Qingchuan saw that cold and evil figure again, and he could hardly believe it!
But the perception of the soul doesn't lie.
Standing in front of me is Orochimaru.
That former cold-hearted ruler, now a traitorous ninja, and a scientist for the future and forever.
Orochimaru continued with his work.
They seemed unsurprised by the arrival of the two, and made no preparations whatsoever.
Jiraiya quickly surveyed his surroundings.
They carefully examined any possible escape routes Orochimaru might take.
At this moment, with his lifelong friend and nemesis right before him, Jiraiya suddenly found himself experiencing an unprecedented peace in his heart.
"Give up the resistance, Orochimaru."
Jiraiya glanced at the girl speaking beside him, his voice somewhat cold.
"You should know..."
"I'm not giving you any chance to escape this time!"
As he spoke, Jiraiya rubbed his hands together, already in battle mode.
Having learned from previous experiences...
This time, he had already given up on trying to persuade them...
Just as he didn't understand why Orochimaru had become like this.
Orochimaru... also seemed to disdain his persistence.
"You said that before, Jiraiya."
Orochimaru let out a strange laugh, but finally turned his head.
But those snake-like eyes only lingered on Jiraiya for a moment.
There was helplessness, but even more so, disgust, which ultimately settled on the girl beside Jiraiya.
"You've arrived, Haruko."
Qingchuan's gaze met his.
But in Orochimaru's eyes, that once boundless fervor was nowhere to be seen...
It didn't have that glaring, creepy look in its eyes; in fact... there was a hint of relief.
Just like an old father...
My daughter has come of age and arrived at my door, brandishing a large knife.
"It's been a long time. Your eyes seem to see even more now."
Orochimaru gave his own evaluation.
I can feel it...
The girl possessed a power far greater than it had been before he left.
It seems that his spiritual practice has not been neglected.
And... he was able to lead that idiot Jiraiya here so quickly.
The girl's intelligence certainly did not disappoint him.
As for that Akatsuki member?
He must be dead.
In the ninja world... the existence of someone who takes money as their faith is a joke in itself.
It's a pity.
Although his rebirth as an immortal body has been completed, it still has certain flaws.
The conflict between the soul and the body still cannot be perfectly resolved.
It's really a waste to possess a young girl's body now.
but....
The more this happened, the more excited Orochimaru became.
To be able to witness a girl's growth before taking possession of her... isn't that a great study in itself?
"Lord Jiraiya..."
Qingchuan rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache, and said...
Looking at Orochimaru, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, he really wanted to chop that thing to pieces with one strike...
"If you don't have anything else to say to this guy, let's get started."
He sighed.
Just as Orochimaru ignored Jiraiya, Aokawa also ignored Orochimaru, and said slowly.
Some things, if kept bottled up for too long, can cause problems.
Even though they easily defeated Kakuzu.
Aokawa didn't believe that even with Jiraiya's help, he could defeat this guy instantly.
Unrealistic...
Kakuzu, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya were never in the same league...
If it weren't for Hiruzen Sarutobi and the subsequent side quests from the system.
Before taking off her skirt, Aokawa really couldn't be bothered with Orochimaru...
He began to mobilize his spiritual power, raising two fingers and aiming them at Orochimaru.
Beside him, Jiraiya, who had been neglected for a long time, also clasped his hands together, his fighting spirit rising rapidly in his eyes!
This hero of the ninja world is finally ready to unleash his full power without reservation!
"Haruka!" Jiraiya shouted, taking a step forward to stand in front of Aokawa.
"We worked together quite well just now, but next, it's my turn, the toad sage of Mount Myōboku, the hero Jiraiya... What did you say?"
Just as Jiraiya was preparing to give a powerful self-introduction before the battle, he heard a gradually rising voice behind him.
It seems to be a poem, with brilliant writing and profound artistic conception.
But the cursing, which seemed to carry a hint of impatience, left Jiraiya somewhat puzzled.
"A thunderous carriage, the gaps in a spinning wheel, this object where light gathers and splits into six!"
The spiritual energy was compressed without reservation, coupled with a relatively short incantation.
The highest-level binding technique that Qingchuan can currently use is ready!
at the moment.
It seems that the only thing separating him from the side quest rewards is Jiraiya...
"Get out of my way! You're blocking my view!"
"Fool!"*
