Chapter 361: I’m Sorry, Orochimaru-San, It’s Me
Orochimaru was actually having a good time.
As the second Sage of the Six Paths in the Ninja World, Orochimaru did not mind letting everyone see the power he had now, especially Jiraiya and Tsunade, two old friends who always thought that he could not realize his dream.
Now that Uehara had taken the initiative to jump in, Orochimaru did not mind taking advantage of this to ravage this guy. This was an enemy he once hated to the bone.
The shock in Orochimaru’s heart about Uehara breaking through the Musekiyōjin (Six Red Yang Formation) gradually faded. His body slowly floated and stopped in front of Uehara.
“Uehara, do you see that?”
Orochimaru raised the black sword in his hand and chuckled, “I am no longer the me of the past. Now, I have become the new Sage of the Six Paths. In this world, no one will be my match… including you.”
“Orochimaru…”
Uehara looked at Orochimaru and rubbed the hair on his forehead, “I’m really not used to you being so arrogant!”
“But what can you do?”
Orochimaru clenched the black sword in his hand and said with a smile, “In your previous words, I just like that looks of you, but you can’t do anything to me… This sentence was said to me before. You can’t have forgotten, right?”
Orochimaru looked at Uehara’s expression and grinned, “Unfortunately! Uehara, the Sage of the Six Paths’ strength is incomparable to that of ordinary people. I can clearly feel my own strength…”
As he spoke, Orochimaru’s eyes gradually tightened, and a light flashed in his eyes, “Uehara, do you still remember how you treated me back then?”
“To tell the truth.”
Uehara spread out his palm and waved his hand, “I forgot. After all, you stayed in Ryuchi Cave for so long. If not for Kabuto, I would have almost forgotten that you actually didn’t die at all…”
“…”
Orochimaru fell silent.
For the past few years, day and night, he had been hating Uehara.
Orochimaru had always been looking forward to his reunion with Uehara after becoming strong, just like this scene.
What he wanted to see was Uehara’s shocked and fearful appearance!
Just like when Jiraiya first saw him!
What did this guy just say?
Forgot!
Orochimaru controlled a Truth-Seeking Ball to transform into a Shuriken. This Shuriken streaked through the air and suddenly shot towards Uehara!
“Do you remember?”
A gloomy expression gradually appeared on Orochimaru’s face, “Uehara, back then, you used this Shuriken to shatter my eternal and undefeated dream!”
At that time, it was the time when Orochimaru was at his proudest.
Because his Living Corpse Reincarnation had the most suitable body; because he found a way to use the Shinigami forever; because he knew how to get Minato’s soul. At that time, Orochimaru really thought that he had no opponent in the ninja world.
As a result, a Shuriken broke all his dreams.
That shuriken became a nightmare that he couldn’t get through every day and every night, and then he began to live a dark life in Ryuchi Cave.
Bang!
The Truth-Seeking Ball was tightly held in Uehara’s hand!
Whether it was the Sage chakra within his body or the power of Yin, Yang, and five elements, Uehara was immune to the attack of the Truth-Seeking Balls!
A ball of fire release ninjutsu formed from Sage chakra shot out from Uehara’s hand, burning the Truth-Seeking Ball Shuriken in his palm!
Orochimaru watched this scene, and a trace of surprise flashed across his face. His eyes narrowed slightly, “Uehara! You really have been underestimated by others all the time…”
“Of course…”
Uehara slowly let go of the Truth-Seeking Ball Shuriken. After watching it being eroded by the Sage Chakra, he casually said, “Otherwise, how would I have the courage to come over and let you recognize your identity again, Orochimaru-san!”
In the next moment, Uehara’s figure suddenly disappeared!
Orochimaru hurriedly controlled the Truth-Seeking Ball to wrap his body up.
However, a scorching Sage fire release instantly enveloped the Truth-Seeking Ball!
The Truth-Seeking Ball’s barrier gradually began to disintegrate and corrode…
Orochimaru’s body was exposed from this barrier…
Uehara’s figure suddenly appeared behind Orochimaru. He kicked Orochimaru’s neck and kicked him to the ground!
A large amount of dust splashed on the ground!𝙛𝒓𝙚e𝚠𝐞𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝗲𝚕. c𝚘𝓶
When the spectators on the ground or those who participated in the battle saw the originally arrogant Orochimaru being kicked down from the sky, their minds were filled with disbelief.
That was not the Orochimaru who used to be beaten up!
The current Orochimaru was the second Sage of the Six Paths in the Ninja World!
Not only were the people present in disbelief, but there was also a wave of confusion in Orochimaru’s mind. Because before he could see Uehara’s movements clearly, he was kicked down by Uehara!
Before getting the Juubi, he was being beaten.
After getting the Juubi, he was still being beaten.
Wasn’t this Uehara a little too much!
“Is there a problem?”
Orochimaru floated up from the ground again. A Truth-Seeking Ball floated from his back and landed in his hand, turning into a black sword.
“There are no problems!”
The wings on Uehara’s back brought him to Orochimaru’s side. He spread out his palm and said softly, “Orochimaru-san, this is your fate!”
“…”
Orochimaru frowned.
Uehara calmly looked at Orochimaru and continued like a god, “When you stand at the peak of your life, there will definitely be someone who will wake you up and let you understand the cruelty of reality…”
When Uehara said this, he looked at Orochimaru and sighed, “It’s just that the person who played the role of waking you up has always been me alone…”
Uehara slowly closed his palm, and a smile appeared on his face, “When you researched the Impure World Reincarnation and resurrected ninja at their heyday, I was the one who woke you up;
When you researched the method to break the Dead Demon Consuming Seal. You wanted to rely on the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to kill all your enemies, and the one who woke you up was me;
When you became the Juubi Jinchuriki, and when you thought that no one in the world was your match, the one who woke you up was me… “
Uehara saw that Orochimaru’s face gradually darkened, and he could not help but laugh, “I’m sorry, Orochimaru-san… Perhaps this is fate?”
Uehara was quite like that.
After he finished speaking, Uehara would have almost believed it himself if not for Uehara, knowing that all of this was under his control.
After listening to Uehara’s nonsense, Orochimaru’s expression became even uglier. He held the Truth-Seeking Ball’s black sword in his hand and narrowed his eyes.
“Uehara, you only relied on Sage arts to gain a temporary advantage. Do you think you have already won?”
Orochimaru once again proposed his theory of victory and defeat. He coldly said, “Because you can’t kill a Juubi Jinchuriki. I can lose many times, but you can only lose once…”
“Don’t worry!”
Uehara’s eyes gradually became serious. He slowly clenched his fist, and a surge of Sage chakra spread throughout his body, “Orochimaru-san, you should remember, right? I have never lost anything that happened between us!”
“Hehe…”
A sneer appeared on Orochimaru’s face. He looked at Uehara and couldn’t help but say, “Uehara, do you still think you are the one who controls everything? When I got the Rinnegan and Juubi…”
Just as Orochimaru said this, he remembered why he got the Rinnegan and Juubi, because all of this was given to him by Kabuto!
The person that Kabuto was previously loyal to was none other than Uehara!
Combined with the current situation that he was in, Uehara was fearless and even not at a disadvantage against someone who had reached the Six Paths Level…
A particularly terrifying thought entered Orochimaru’s mind!
Orochimaru’s expression suddenly changed. His pair of Rinnegan stared fixedly at Uehara, his throat suppressing his anger and nervousness, “Uehara, it’s you!”
“It seems that I accidentally leaked some secret…”
Uehara looked at his main mission progress panel that jumped. He couldn’t help but hold his forehead and revealed a dangerous smile, “How sharp of you… Orochimaru-san, this secret was discovered by you!”
Uehara slowly raised his finger and said softly, “Shh, don’t leak it out… Because I can grant you power, and I can naturally retract it at any time!”
“Is it really you?”
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes again.
To be honest, Orochimaru was not willing to believe it at this moment.
Because it was not easy for him to escape from Ryuchi Cave and even become the Juubi Jinchuriki, but now Uehara told him that all of this was his behind-the-scenes arrangement!
If it were true, Orochimaru’s mentality was a little broken…
If everything was Uehara’s plot again, then this bastard obviously tricked him again. How many more times did this bastard want to trick him!
It was unlikely that it was true.
Orochimaru instantly rejected this thought. He slowly raised the black sword in his hand, and his face regained its calm, “Uehara, if not because I could feel the power in my body, I might have believed it…”
Orochimaru suddenly pointed the black sword in his hand at Uehara and said with a cold smile, “Your mouth will always tell lies and never worth believing. Hmph, Uehara, are you planning to break my will because you feel this power?”
“Uh…”
Uehara looked a little embarrassed. He slowly held his forehead and said, “Orochimaru-san, as a superior, will you give a subordinate the power to escape your control?”
For this reason, how could Orochimaru still have fantasies!
“…”
Orochimaru’s expression changed again.
The corners of Uehara’s mouth could not help but curl up slightly, suppressing his smile, “Those space-time ninjas who came and went without a trace, whose hands are they in?”
Uehara rubbed his forehead with his palm, and the smile on his lips gradually could not be suppressed, “I’m sorry. I need to control my emotions first.”
Speaking of this, Uehara coughed a few times and slowly restrained the smile on his face, “Orochimaru-san, let’s continue fighting first. When I pull the Juubi out of your body again, I will definitely give you a satisfactory story…”
After saying that, Uehara added, “Don’t worry, Orochimaru-san. The Juubi Jinchuriki is different from other Jinchuriki. Even if you pull it out of your body, you can continue to live for a while. After that, you can listen to the story I want to tell.”
“…”
Orochimaru’s hand holding the black sword slowly clenched.
As Orochimaru clenched the black sword in his hand, his heart sank bit by bit because he almost knew the real answer.
The next moment, Orochimaru held Truth-Seeking Ball’s black sword and rushed toward Uehara. His voice was a bit fierce, “Uehara, are you… still a human?”
