Perhaps they have adapted to this sealing technique, which is a mix of illusion and magic.
While Jiraiya pondered the gender of the prophesied child and Aokawa savored the system rewards,
Orochimaru's body began to slowly twist.
Soon, he opened his mouth wide, and then a pale arm covered in mucus was revealed.
Then comes the head, half the body, and eventually the whole body.
Not long after.
Orochimaru, covered in slime and pale-faced but "completely transformed," stood before Aokawa and Jiraiya once again.
Orochimaru-style Substitution Jutsu.
It works every time and cures all diseases.
"As expected, it wasn't a real sealing technique after all..."
Orochimaru, having successfully escaped his restraints, became increasingly excited.
"You've brought me a wonderful gift, Haruko."
Twisting his neck, Orochimaru put his finger in his mouth, sucking on the viscous fluid while biting his finger until it bled.
"However... now is not the time for us to have a proper discussion."
"I look forward to seeing you again, Haruko."
As he spoke.
A plume of white smoke rose, accompanied by the appearance of a colossal creature. Orochimaru's figure slowly disappeared into the ground...
"Don't even think about running!"
Realizing what had happened, Jiraiya cursed himself for losing his mind and rolled up his sleeves, ready to give chase.
But before he could take a step, Jiraiya remembered the girl behind him, and his expression froze.
"I'm fine, Jiraiya-sama."
Aokawa once again activated the recovery buff, albeit somewhat stiffly, but he gave Jiraiya a reassuring look.
"That guy must be exhausted, you just go after him..."
"I'm fine."
With that, Senbonzakura was drawn once more.
Qingchuan stared coldly at the giant snake in front of him, and with his spiritual power, which was almost gone but rapidly recovering, he raised it again!
"This..." Jiraiya's gaze suddenly became somewhat conflicted.
He glanced at the spot where Orochimaru had disappeared, then at Aokawa, who was clearly weakened.
Finally, I made up my mind!
"Spirit Spell!"
Another plume of white smoke rose.
A giant purple toad appeared, carrying a large pot on its back and holding an iron fork in its hand.
"Yo! Toad Ken-san!"
"Haruko's safety depends on you! I'm going to chase after Orochimaru first!"
Jiraiya gave a solemn instruction, and then immediately set off!
"Orochimaru! This sage will definitely beat you awake today!"
The giant snake tried to dive down to stop it, but Toad Jian leaped up and pinned it to the ground with an iron fork around its throat!
"I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill your request... Jiraiya."
Toad Jian spoke in a muffled, extremely unconfident voice.
Qingchuan raised an eyebrow.
Jiraiya went after Orochimaru.
Objectively speaking, whether or not he can win her over is not certain.
Orochimaru's Substitution Technique is indeed convenient, and aside from being a bit disgusting, it has repeatedly achieved remarkable feats.
However, the consumption will inevitably be enormous...
Aokawa knew this, but compared to Orochimaru, his exertion was also considerable...
and.
He also did not believe that Orochimaru's ability to escape would be limited by the chakra he consumed.
Gamaken began his battle against Orochimaru's summoned snake.
The cave was carved out of the heart of the snow-capped mountains, and it was simply not big enough for the two big guys to work on.
In an instant, the earth shook and rocks began to fall.
Collapse is only a matter of time.
"Beautiful young lady, please leave now."
"I'll try my best to keep an eye on this guy... even though I'm clumsy."
The humble and gentlemanly Hama Ken took on the dirty work of covering the back.
Qingchuan originally wanted to politely decline, to put on a show of "if you don't leave, I won't leave either; if you leave, I'll leave later, okay? I'll leave first, damn it!"
But considering it's a spirit beast after all, green tea doesn't seem to be of much use.
"Then... please! Toad Ken-san!"
He bowed deeply.
Before Gamaken could even reply, Aokawa had already turned around with a flourish, leaving Gamaken with an adorable view of the back of his head and a playful ponytail...
However.
He hadn't even taken two steps.
A familiar scent suddenly appeared from above.
This made Qingchuan frown immediately!
Without thinking too much, Qingchuan quickly activated his recovery buff and fled at lightning speed using Instant Step!
He remembered that scent.
And don't know them too well...
Tu Zi Ge.
They've arrived.
Here it comes again.
Qingchuan was immediately filled with panic!
The two became enemies the first time they met, and what's worse, not only did they become enemies, he didn't gain any benefit at all!
I tried all sorts of binding and breaking techniques, but they were completely useless!
That was a huge loss.
Qingchuan often reminded himself of how important it was to stay calm after that irrational outburst.
But now, whether it's stable or not doesn't seem to be that important anymore.
Tu Zi Ge's sudden attack caught Qing Chuan, who was already in a weakened state, completely off guard!
He just wanted to smile even brighter and make the recovery buff run even faster...
...
On the snow-capped mountain.
Obito stood there coldly, his black clothes and mask standing out starkly against the white expanse.
Below.
The girl ran as fast as she could.
I don't know why.
Obito suddenly felt a sense of relief.
"fine..."
fine.
It seems that although I arrived late, I am not seriously injured.
Orochimaru is on the run, and it seems like he can make it all the way to the Land of Rain without much trouble.
The only thing missing is Kakuzu; he might... be dead.
As expected of the Three Ninja.
Having dealt with Kakuzu, they still have the resources to pursue Orochimaru.
Jiraiya... As expected of the teacher, the teacher...
A cold glint flashed in Obito's eyes.
Unfortunately, in this hypocritical world, even someone as powerful as you is destined to change nothing.
Your disciple didn't survive either...
Obito mocked, and then, for some reason, his gaze fell on the girl again.
She... seemed to be smiling.
Are you glad you survived?
Obito's lips unconsciously curled up in a smile.
"Live."
"Just live like this..."
Space distorted again, and Obito's figure disappeared.
Qingchuan, who was frantically running away while frantically replying, frowned again.
"Um?"
"They ran away?"
"What's going on?"
