After Training Bankai for a Decade, I Was Scouted by the Akatsuki Chapter 245 The Only One Within My Knowledge Who Can Slay th

Three years ago, during the Konoha Chunin Exams,

In order to smoothly join the Las Noches faction,

Orochimaru, under the guise of the Kazekage, had held Hiruzen at bay, and arranged for Kabuto to steal Konoha's forbidden technique collection — the Scroll of Seals.

And just as Kabuto handed the stolen Scroll of Seals to Kyo,

Kyo announced that the two of them could officially join Las Noches, and then... gave each of them White Scrolls.

This served as proof of Las Noches accepting the two of them.

According to him,

This scroll contained special incantations,

Opening it would imdiately summon mbers of Las Noches to co to their aid.

However,

Because Kyo had emphasized they could not casually open it unless at a critical mont of life and death,

Until now,

Orochimaru had never once touched the White Scroll.

But he had always carried them on his person for safekeeping.

In the past,

He had hardly encountered any situation where death was certain, so naturally there was no need to use them...

But now... he had to!

He was facing Obito with a very peculiar ability, plus an almost invincible Edo Tensei Madara...!

This lineup was fundantally impossible for him to escape from!!

As his consciousness was about to fade, Orochimaru's gaze suddenly hardened. He gritted his teeth fiercely, quickly raised his hand, and pulled the scroll directly from his back!!

The mont he pulled it out, he also completely unrolled the scroll in the air!!

"...?"

Seeing this strange scene,

Not only Obito, but even Madara in the distance was montarily stunned.

Huh?

What's going on...?

A pure white scroll...?!

At the brink of death,

This Orochimaru... still has the strength to resist?

Seeing this,

Obito's gaze darkened, sensing sothing was wrong.

He instantly raised his hand, pulled the kunai from Orochimaru's chest, and then moved to strike the scroll.

After all, as long as the incantation on the scroll was destroyed before the technique was activated, all techniques would fail instantly — this was common sense.

However,

The mont he saw clearly the contents of the scroll, his expression froze.

He was directly dumbfounded.

Huh?

Wait!

Wh-what's going on?

What the hell... it's just one word "Spirit"???

Obito was instantly dumbfounded.

And at this mont,

Not just him,

When Madara in the distance saw that the clean white scroll contained only a simple character for "Spirit",

Even he, always calm and wise, was montarily taken aback.

He didn't understand.

Completely didn't understand...

What does this an?

This Orochimaru... at the mont between life and death, pulls out this... thing???

Thud.

As the two were stunned,

The unrolled "Spirit" scroll, along with Orochimaru's body, fell to the ground.

Nothing happened.

Not even a trace of Chakra Fluctuation.

And at this mont,

Orochimaru's hand,

Still tightly grasped the edge of the scroll, without relaxing.

…

anwhile, in the Land of Wind on the other side.

Inside a valley.

To allow Kabuto to complete his mission better, Kyo was still explaining the uses of various tools to him.

But just then,

Suddenly, his heart stirred slightly, and his words stopped.

"Huh?"

Seeing this,

Kabuto opposite him was naturally surprised.

Gazing at Kyo for a mont, he cautiously spoke:

"Kyo-sama? What's wrong?"

Hearing this,

Kyo snapped back to reality,

His gaze beca sowhat strange as he looked at Kabuto and said seriously:

"Orochimaru might be in trouble."

"!?"

At Kyo's sudden words, Kabuto's expression froze, completely stunned.

"Wh-what?"

"Orochimaru-sama... is in trouble?!"

Kabuto was naturally completely bewildered, repeating in disbelief.

After all,

Monts ago, Kyo was talking about the tools,

How did the topic suddenly shift...

However,

Before he could react,

Kyo directly raised his hand, and a slender white cloth appeared in it.

Then, it began to revolve around Kyo.

"!"

Seeing this,

Kabuto's heart shook, his pupils involuntarily contracting.

He had never seen this scene before.

And at this mont,

Kyo looked at Kabuto and said calmly:

"Rember the white scroll I gave you a few years ago?"

"Just now,"

"Orochimaru opened his scroll."

"I'll go check it out first."

As the words fell,

Whoosh!

All the white cloth instantly gathered like a storm, completely enveloping Kyo's body in an instant.

The next mont, all the cloth began to gradually turn transparent, dissipating into the air.

And Kyo, who had been standing in front, had also completely vanished along with them...

"!?"

Only at this mont did Kabuto suddenly rember.

The white scroll!

It was that tool Kyo gave them back in Konoha to save their lives...

The one that could summon mbers of Las Noches for help...

He never expected,

Kyo would personally go...

Kabuto was filled with emotion.

Following him was definitely the right choice.

…

Back to the scene.

At the mountain pass bordering the Land of Grass and the Land of Rain.

Three figures stood on the plain.

On the left stood the masked Obito and the Edo Tenseid Madara.

Across from them lay Orochimaru on the ground, tightly gripping the white scroll.

At this mont,

His consciousness was almost completely gone.

His heart had been pierced, the loss of blood causing his life force to steadily fade.

Yet, despite this,

He seed to have placed all his remaining hope into the white scroll in his hand...

Seeing this,

Obito and Madara exchanged glances, both sowhat perplexed.

This scroll,

Not to ntion serving any purpose,

With just a single character for "Spirit", it didn't even form a technique seal...

It seed,

Just to be a bluff.

After a mont,

Madara indifferently turned around, his back to Obito, and said calmly:

"Let's go, Obito."

"There's no need to waste ti on such insignificant ants."

"We should continue with our plan."

Hearing this,

Obito didn't follow imdiately, but looked again at Orochimaru, then said thoughtfully:

"Although he seems to have no strength left to resist now,"

"For safety's sake, it's better to just finish him off."

Saying this, Obito stepped forward, preparing to strike again and silence him.

Having spent so many years in the Shinobi World and acting as a mastermind for so long, Obito undoubtedly knew the importance of thoroughly eliminating the roots.

Therefore,

He naturally didn't want to leave just like that.

What if, after they left, Orochimaru ca back to life?

A man like him, who mastered core forbidden techniques like the Edo Tensei, could not be allowed to live.

Thinking this,

Obito directly raised his hand, preparing to deliver the final blow.

And at this mont, Madara, with his back to him, sensed his unauthorized action and frowned slightly.

But,

At this critical mont,

A sudden change occurred!

Boom!!!!!!!

A terrifying white light instantly burst forth from the ordinary-looking white scroll in Orochimaru's hand!!!

At the sa ti, a tangible storm of wind suddenly expanded violently outwards!!

Boom!!!

Due to the imnse air pressure, it even emitted a roaring sound like an explosion!!

"--!?"

Obito, standing so close, was caught completely off guard and was sent flying by the storm!!

"!!?"

Obito's pupils constricted sharply.

Although he wasn't injured, his heart was pounding!

Wha-!?

What... is this!?

A scroll with just one character inscribed can actually work?!!

This is too damn ridiculous, right?!

However,

Just then,

Suddenly,

Within this dazzling, brilliant white light,

A black figure began to slowly materialize, surrounded by countless floating white cloth strips...

"!?"

Seeing this,

Obito's breath caught in his throat, he was completely frozen!!

When he saw the silhouette of that figure, his thoughts instantly ceased, his mind going almost completely blank!!

What the hell?!

What's going on?!!

It's that guy again?!!

Obito's face suddenly turned pale, he was completely frozen!

Although the white light was too bright,

He couldn't make out the specific features,

But this silhouette... he could never forget!!

Because,

Not long ago,

He had almost directly died by this person's "Goryutentsu"!!!

Obito gritted his teeth, his pupils dilated, unable to believe it.

And,

At the sa ti,

Madara ahead had naturally also noticed this eerie figure within the white light.

Even he, always calm and indifferent, suddenly had his gaze darken!

Due to his keen sixth sense,

He naturally sensed that sothing felt... off...

This figure,

... was no weak existence.

Thinking this,

Madara slowly turned around, squinting, indifferently gazing ahead.

And at this mont,

Orochimaru, upon seeing this familiar figure, was suddenly shaken violently. As if in a final burst of strength, he instantly grinned!

An unprecedented excited smile appeared on his face!

It's him!

He's here!!

He ca personally!!

At this mont,

Orochimaru seed to forget the pain, overwheld with excitent.

In fact,

When he used the scroll just now,

He was completely taking a gamble.

After all, there were so many mbers in Las Noches, he couldn't be sure who would co.

What if the mber who ca wasn't strong enough to defeat Madara and Obito?

For that matter,

What if the person who ca was the Kitsune Ogre?

That Kitsune Ogre guy had clearly seed to betray Las Noches...

Therefore,

It would be a lie to say Orochimaru wasn't worried.

The only one he was certain could save him,

Was just one person.

The King of Las Noches, the man with the golden pupils of the True Eye of the King… Kyo!

The one who wielded a Zanpakuto,

Was, within Orochimaru's knowledge, the only one who could slay the soul!

As long as he ca-

Not to ntion an Edo Tensei Madara, even if the pri Madara himself resurrected, he might not be his match!

Therefore,

Although Orochimaru appeared as steady as an old dog on the surface, he was actually panicking inside...

Thankfully now,

Everything was over!

Kyo had truly co personally!

From now on,

Turn the tables!
