Orochimaru actually had a lot of fun.
As the second Six Paths Sage in the Ninja World, Orochimaru didn’t mind showing off his current power to everyone, especially his old friends Jiraiya and Tsunade, who always thought he couldn’t achieve his dreams.
Now, with Uehara Naraku voluntarily jumping in, Orochimaru didn’t mind taking this chance to thrash that guy, who had once been his mortal enemy.
Orochimaru’s shock at Uehara breaking through the Red Sun Array Barrier slowly faded away as his body floated in front of Uehara.
"Uehara-kun, do you see it?"
Orochimaru raised the Truth-Seeking Ball Black Sword in his hand and chuckled, "I am no longer the old . I have beco the new Six Paths Sage, and there will no longer be anyone in this world who can be my opponent... including you."
"Orochimaru..."
Uehara Naraku looked at Orochimaru’s figure, rubbed his forehead, and said, "Seeing you so arrogant, I really am not used to it!"
"But what can you do about it?"
Orochimaru tightened his grip on the Truth-Seeking Ball Black Sword and chuckled, "To use your previous words, I like seeing you dislike but being unable to do anything about it... wouldn’t you rember saying that to ?"
Orochimaru observed Uehara Naraku’s expression and smirked, "It’s unfortunate! Uehara-kun, the power of the Six Paths Sage cannot be rivaled by mortals; I can keenly feel my own strength..."
While speaking, Orochimaru’s eyes squinted slightly, and the Rinnegan shone in his gaze, "Uehara-kun, do you rember how you treated back then?"
"Honestly."
Uehara Naraku spread his palm and waved, "I forgot, especially since you stayed in Ryuchi Cave for such a long ti. If it weren’t for Yakushi Kabuto, I might have nearly forgotten you weren’t actually dead."
"..."
Orochimaru fell silent.
All these nights, he harbored hatred towards Uehara Naraku.
Orochimaru had been looking forward to reuniting with Uehara Naraku after growing stronger, just like in the current scene.
He hoped to see the shock and terror on Uehara Naraku’s face!
Just like when Jiraiya saw him monts ago!
What did that guy just say?
Forgot!
Orochimaru manipulated a Truth-Seeking Ball to transform into a Shuriken, hurling it abruptly towards Uehara Naraku in mid-air!
"Do you rember?"
Orochimaru’s face gradually turned sinister, "Uehara Naraku, back then, you shattered my dreams of immortality and undefeatable ambition with this very Shuriken!"
It was when Orochimaru was most complacent.
Because his Immortal Reanimation had a perfect body, he discovered how to continuously use the power of the Shinigami, and he realized how to obtain Namikaze Minato’s soul. At that ti, Orochimaru truly believed he had no opponent in the Ninja World.
In the end, a Shuriken shattered all his dreams.
That Shuriken beca an endless nightmare, leading to a dark life in Ryuchi Cave.
Snap!
The Truth-Seeking Ball Shuriken was tightly gripped in Uehara’s hand!
Whether it’s the Sage Chakra inside him or the Power of Yin Yang Five Elents, they all make Uehara Naraku immune to Truth-Seeking Ball Black Sword’s attacks!
A Fire Release Ninjutsu composed of Sage Chakra burst from Uehara Naraku’s hand, scorching the Truth-Seeking Ball Shuriken in his palm!
Orochimaru watched this scene, a flash of astonishnt on his face, as his eyes slightly squinted, "Uehara Naraku! You really have always been underestimated..."
"Of course..."
Uehara Naraku slowly released the Truth-Seeking Ball Shuriken, watching it get corroded by the Sage Chakra and casually said, "Otherwise, how could I dare to co over to let you recognize your identity again, Mr. Orochimaru!"
The next mont, Uehara Naraku’s figure suddenly vanished!
Orochimaru hastily manipulated the Truth-Seeking Ball to wrap around his body, yet a scorching Immortal Technique Fire Release enveloped the Truth-Seeking Ball instantly!
The barrier of the Truth-Seeking Ball gradually began to dissolve and corrode...
Orochimaru’s body erged from the barrier...
Uehara Naraku suddenly appeared behind Orochimaru, kicking him on the neck and sending Orochimaru crashing to the ground!
The ground splashed up a vast cloud of dust!
The spectators on the ground or those in the battle were stunned, witnessing the once rampant and arrogant Orochimaru being kicked from the sky; their minds found it hard to believe.
This was not the past Orochimaru frequently beat up!
Now, Orochimaru was the second Six Paths Sage in the Ninja World!
Not only was it hard for the people present to believe, but Orochimaru’s mind was also bewildered, as he hadn’t seen Uehara Naraku’s movent clearly before getting kicked down!
Without Ten-tailed, he was getting beaten.
Even with Ten-tailed, he was still getting beaten.
This Uehara Naraku, isn’t he a bit too much!
"Is there a problem?"
Orochimaru floated up from the ground again, a Truth-Seeking Ball once more floated from his back into his hand, transforming into a Truth-Seeking Ball Black Sword.
"No problems at all!"
Uehara Naraku’s wings behind him propelled him to land beside Orochimaru, spreading out his palm, he softly said, "Mr. Orochimaru, this was your destiny all along!"
"..."
Orochimaru wrinkled his brow.
Uehara Naraku calmly gazed at Orochimaru, like a deity, he continued, "When you are standing at the peak of life, there will always be soone to awaken you, allowing you to recognize the cruel reality..."
As Uehara Naraku said this, he looked at Orochimaru and sighed, "It’s just that the one playing the role of awakening you has always been alone..."
Uehara Naraku slowly closed his palm, a smile piled up on his face, "Back when you researched and resurrected ninjas at their peak through Immortal Reanimation, it was I who awakened you;
Back when you devised a way to undo the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, hoping to rely on it to deal with all your enemies, it was I who awakened you;
Now that you’ve beco the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki, thinking there’s no one in the Ninja World that can challenge you, it is still I who awaken you..."
Uehara Naraku watched as Orochimaru’s face gradually darkened, he couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Sorry, Mr. Orochimaru... perhaps this is fate?"
Uehara Naraku spoke quite convincingly.
If Uehara didn’t know that all this was his own behind-the-scenes manipulation, Uehara Naraku himself almost believed it.
After hearing Uehara Naraku’s absurdity, Orochimaru’s expression soured further. He gripped the Truth-Seeking Ball Black Sword in his hand tightly, squinting his eyes.
"Uehara Naraku, rely relying on Immortal Technique to gain a temporary advantage, do you think you’ve already won?"
Orochimaru once again raised his theory of victory and defeat, speaking coldly, "Because as the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki, I am unkillable. I can afford to lose many tis, while you can only afford to lose once..."
"Rest assured!"
Uehara Naraku’s eyes gradually beca serious, his fist slowly tightened, a surge of Sage Chakra flooded his body, "Mr. Orochimaru, you should rember, right? In what has happened between us, I haven’t lost once!"
"Heh heh..."
Orochimaru’s face showed a sneer, he looked at Uehara Naraku and said, "Uehara Naraku, do you still think you are the one controlling everything? When I obtained the Rinnegan and the Ten-tails..."
Just as Orochimaru spoke up to this point, he rembered why he obtained the Rinnegan and the Ten-tails, because all of this was given to him by Yakushi Kabuto!
Yakushi Kabuto previously swore allegiance to none other than Uehara Naraku!
When Orochimaru particularly considered his current predicant, facing Uehara Naraku, who was not intimidated at all by his transformation to Six Paths Level...
A particularly terrifying idea popped into Orochimaru’s mind!
Orochimaru’s expression suddenly changed, his Rinnegan eyes fixated on Uehara Naraku, suppressing his anger and nervousness in his throat, "Uehara Naraku, it was you!"
"Seems like sohow I accidentally revealed so secrets..."
Uehara Naraku glanced at his main task progress panel and jumped, he couldn’t help but touch his forehead, his mouth revealing a dangerous smile, "Truly perceptive... Mr. Orochimaru, you have discovered this secret!"
Uehara Naraku slowly raised his fingernail, softly saying, "Shh, don’t let it leak out... otherwise, the power I can bestow upon you, I can naturally also take away anyti!"
"Was it really you?"
Orochimaru’s eyes squinted again.
Truth be told, at this mont, Orochimaru didn’t want to believe it.
Because it was quite hard for him to escape from Ryuchi Cave, and only by firming his resolve did he beco the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki, and now Uehara Naraku is telling him all of this was yet another arrangent behind the scenes!
If it’s real, Orochimaru’s state of mind is on the edge...
If everything is yet another of Uehara Naraku’s sches, then this bastard has evidently tricked him once again, just how many more tis will this bastard trap him!
It’s unlikely to be true.
Orochimaru imdiately dismissed this idea, he slowly raised the Truth-Seeking Ball Black Sword in his hand, his face returned to calm, "Uehara Naraku, if not for the fact that I can feel the power within myself, I might almost have believed it..."
Orochimaru suddenly pointed the Truth-Seeking Ball Black Sword at Uehara Naraku, with a chilly laugh he said, "Your words are always lies, never worth believing. Hmph, Uehara-kun, do you intend to break my will feeling this powerful force?"
"Uh..."
Uehara Naraku’s facial expression suddenly seed a bit embarrassed, he slowly held his forehead, saying, "Mr. Orochimaru, as a superior, would you give a subordinate powers to escape your control?"
At this point, how is Orochimaru still holding onto any illusions!
"..."
Orochimaru’s expression changed again.
Uehara Naraku’s mouth couldn’t help but curl slightly, suppressing his laughter, "Those space-ti ninjas that co and go without a trace, whose hand holds their authority?"
Uehara Naraku rubbed his palm against his forehead, the smile at the corner of his mouth gradually becoming difficult to suppress, "Sorry, I need to calm down my emotions first."
Saying this, Uehara Naraku lightly coughed a few tis, slowly collecting the smile on his face, "Mr. Orochimaru, let’s continue the battle first, once I extract the Ten-tails from you, I promise to give you a satisfactory story..."
After speaking, Uehara Naraku added, "Rest assured, Mr. Orochimaru, Ten-tailed Jinchuriki is different from other Jinchuriki, even after extraction, you can still live a while longer to hear the story I want to tell."
"..."
Orochimaru’s hand holding the Truth-Seeking Ball Black Sword tightened bit by bit.
As Orochimaru tightened his hold on the black sword, his heart sank bit by bit because he nearly figured out the real answer.
In the next mont, Orochimaru gripped the Truth-Seeking Ball Black Sword and charged towards Uehara Naraku, his voice sowhat shrill, "Uehara Naraku, are you...still human?"
