Boom!
The entire wasteland was engulfed in a magnificent explosion!
Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto stood at a distance, gazing at the center of the explosion, a smile creeping onto their lips, "Utilizing the chain Summoning of Paper Bombs, one can instantly summon ten thousand Paper Bombs, enough to blow up any enemy directly."
Back when Orochimaru was learning the Reanimation Jutsu, he naturally didn’t give up researching the Tandem Paper Bomb Jutsu to combine with it.
For a ninjutsu genius like Orochimaru, learning the Tandem Paper Bomb was not difficult.
The only trouble was that the cost of summoning the Paper Bombs was sowhat expensive, and for Orochimaru, a single fight could cost tens or even hundreds of millions in gold.
This battle was unnecessarily extravagant.
Except for when he was initially learning the Tandem Paper Bomb, Orochimaru saved ten thousand Paper Bombs for special occasions; otherwise, he never thought of using the Tandem Paper Bomb Jutsu.
After all, the most important Summoning condition for the Tandem Paper Bomb is that the first Paper Bomb must be attached to the enemy to trigger the Summoning.
If an enemy can have a Paper Bomb stuck on them, then the enemy is not worth wasting a Paper Bomb on; if an enemy is very powerful, they certainly can’t be caught by a Paper Bomb trap.
This is a false proposition in Orochimaru’s research.
Hence, Orochimaru is not very fond of this wasteful and ineffective jutsu.
Nevertheless, for Orochimaru, using a Paper Bomb to kill Konan’s disciple had special significance.
Orochimaru didn’t mind giving this intern a funeral.
By the ti Konan finds Uehara Naraku’s body, she will understand the true use of Paper Bombs, and recognize the gap between her and the strong ones.
Orochimaru glanced at the explosion-filled mist, and did not choose to check on Uehara Naraku’s body, rely saying, "Alright, Kabuto, let’s go!"
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."
Before leaving, Yakushi Kabuto glanced at the smoke of the explosion, a trace of awe in his eyes, "As expected of Lord Orochimaru’s ninjutsu, even Paper Bombs can exert such power."
"This was not invented by ."
Orochimaru paused, lightly chuckled, and shook his head, "This was researched by Konoha’s Second Hokage."
When Orochimaru ntioned the Second Hokage, there was a rare hint of admiration on his face.
Suddenly, Uehara’s voice ca from the giant explosion smoke, "Then Lord Orochimaru must have the thod to practice the Tandem Paper Bomb?"
"I do have it, but this jutsu’s downside is too..."
Orochimaru instinctively responded, but sothing about the voice seed off to him, and he quickly turned his head to look into the smoke.
Uehara Naraku stepped out from within it, one step at a ti.
Uehara dusted off himself nonchalantly, "Since Lord Orochimaru has what I want, I can’t easily let you go now."
He spoke as if he were talking about sothing casual.
Uehara Naraku seed a bit cocky.
"Tsk!"
Orochimaru couldn’t help but smirk, coldly replying, "Even the Tandem Paper Bomb Jutsu couldn’t kill you, seems even a genius like the Second Hokage’s research isn’t flawless!"
"No, no... his jutsu has no flaws."
Uehara Naraku quickly waved his hand, explaining, "I believe either I or my teacher would find this jutsu very likable... I think the flaw lies with you, Lord Orochimaru?"
"How dare you speak disrespectfully to Lord Orochimaru!"
Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses, abruptly releasing his hands.
A faint green glow shimred on Kabuto’s hands as he enhanced them with the Chakra Scalpel jutsu.
As he finished speaking, Kabuto charged toward Uehara Naraku, attempting to slice his neck with hands imbued with green Chakra!
This is the fighting style of a dical Ninja.
The Chakra Scalpel can be used not only for healing but also as a potent weapon, even sharper than a kunai!
However, very few dical Ninja apply the Chakra Scalpel in combat. Only a versatile ninja like Yakushi Kabuto would be so inventive.
After all, a dical Ninja’s duty is to save lives.
But Kabuto’s duty was as an all-rounder spy.
"Dusk Blade!"
Uehara Naraku calmly extended his hand, summoning a purple Chakra Broadsword into his grip. He then fiercely swung it toward the oncoming Kabuto!
Thud!
Kabuto stepped off the ground and leaped into the air, appearing behind Uehara in the next mont, aiming his Chakra Scalpel-enhanced hands at Uehara’s body.
Uehara Naraku rely twisted his body, redirecting the force, and struck Kabuto away with a sweeping slice from his broadsword!
With a flick of his fingers, Uehara launched several cards at Kabuto, lacerating his body and causing two of the cards to explode upon direct impact.
Kabuto tumbled to the ground.
Orochimaru didn’t seem worried about his subordinate; Kabuto slowly removed his clothing, his wounds healing rapidly, making it appear as if he hadn’t received any serious injuries.
Kabuto glanced at his other wounds and said gravely, "Lord Orochimaru, please be careful. My entire body is almost within his attack range.
The strength of this kid surpasses any young ninja I’ve ever seen, and even with preemptive Healing of Hidden Injuries, so attacks were still impossible to defend against."
Healing of Hidden Injuries involves predicting the enemy’s attack position, then preemptively healing potential wounds, minimizing damage.
But Uehara’s attack was comprehensive.
"Of course."
Orochimaru licked his lips, his expression becoming serious, "None of Akatsuki’s mbers are simple, even an intern can’t be underestimated..."
Uehara Naraku looked at Kabuto, waving at him in a friendly manner, "Mr. Kabuto, co on over, don’t worry, at most I’ll only kill you."
"..."
Kabuto felt uneasy.
Is that how this kid talks?
"Of course, if you surrender now, I won’t kill you."
Uehara Naraku held his Chakra Broadsword, speaking softly, "Killing you now would be a waste of talent, and what the Akatsuki has always valued most is talent!"
"Is that so?"
A glint of light flashed on Kabuto’s glasses as he stepped toward Uehara Naraku, "If I were to join you, what would I gain?"
Uehara Naraku looked at him and replied, "You get to live."
"That seems like a decent offer?"
Kabuto nodded in agreent, walking beside Uehara Naraku, then turned to Orochimaru, "I’m sorry, Lord Orochimaru, I must..."
However, taking advantage of Uehara Naraku’s inattention, Kabuto stealthily pulled out a small scalpel and stabbed towards his nape!
Bam!
Uehara Naraku unexpectedly crouched, delivering an elbow strike to Kabuto’s chest, forcing the spy genius to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Ignoring Kabuto’s cry of pain, Uehara Naraku turned and seized Kabuto’s wrist, snatched the scalpel from his hand, and forcefully stabbed it into his shoulder!
Under Uehara Naraku’s grip, Kabuto couldn’t help but kneel, staring wide-eyed at Uehara’s cold face!
"Do you think I’m an idiot?"
Uehara Naraku kicked Kabuto to the ground, snorting, "I long knew that following a traitor like Orochimaru, you couldn’t possibly be good people!"
