Chapter 177: Orochimaru's True Form

Start from the beginning
                                    

"No, not yet..."

"At this level, it's probably not enough to completely kill that guy."

Hearing Kimimaro's muttering beside him, Yu shook his head silently. "You two protect yourselves. I'll go take care of that guy."

"SkyPath!!"

With that, Yu released almost invisible threads that bound the clouds in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, he ascended into the air with four Devil Puppets at his side.

'He... he can fly!'

'Who is this guy, really?'

Seeing Yu soaring into the sky by manipulating the clouds, Kimimaro beside him slightly widened his mouth. The number of times he had been surprised before today couldn't compare to the occurrences of just today.

"Cough, cough..."

Behind the three immense and sinister Rashomon gates pierced through, there came Orochimaru's distressed coughing. He was seen kneeling on one knee, barely supporting himself with the shortened Sword of Kusanagi thrust into the ground.

Urgh...

Right at the center of his chest, there was now a huge transparent hole blasted by the earlier God-Killing Spear. As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, blood, mingled with shattered organs, gushed out from his mouth like a burst pipe.

"Such terrifying power..."

"The defense of Triple Rashomon was actually breached so easily..."

Although Yu's God-Killing Spear pierced through Orochimaru's body, the wound appeared strangely devoid of any blood, only revealing a sense of profound dread in his serpent-like eyes.

Triple Rashomon— an ultra-strong physical defense technique summoned to absorb all attacks. The first gate absorbs the attack, the second gate reduces its power, and the third gate disperses its force... According to the varying functions of these three gates, any attack that reaches the caster is significantly weakened.

Summoning a single Rashomon gate already requires a considerable amount of chakra, and summoning three at once is a feat only achievable by legendary ninjas of the caliber of Orochimaru, one of the Three Sannin. This ultimate defensive ninjutsu, which in the anime was potent enough to counter Naruto Uzumaki's rampaging Four-Tails Tailed Beast Bomb was effortlessly pierced through by Yu's God-Killing Spear. Recalling the terrifying beam that pierced through everything just moments ago, Orochimaru finally tasted the threat of death.

"It's over, Orochimaru."

"From the beginning, you shouldn't have provoked me."

However, at that moment, a voice from above made Orochimaru's hair stand on end.

"Rainfall Spear!!"

With Yu's voice, countless threads in the sky above Orochimaru condensed like sharp arrows.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"

Immediately, the sound of countless bombardments rang out. Countless threads thrown out at high speed, like bullets, descended like a sudden rainstorm, pounding the entire ground beneath with myriad holes.

"Damn it..."

His heavily wounded body seemed to morph into a constantly elongating and twisting python. Orochimaru agilely maneuvered, evading the incessant threads raining down from the sky above.

However, under Yu's relentless onslaught, akin to a raging storm, Orochimaru couldn't even find an opportunity to execute his Orochimaru-style Substitution Jutsu to switch bodies.

"If that's the case..."

"Then let me show you my true form!!"

Since the beginning of the battle, being constantly suppressed by Yu and facing the threads descending from the sky above, Orochimaru finally erupted in true anger. A bitterly cold gleam burst from his serpent-like eyes.

Swish!!

In the instant his words fell, Orochimaru, who had been fleeing continuously, opened his mouth wide, locking his gaze onto Yu hovering in the sky above.

A lightning-fast, enormous white figure flashed past, and Yu saw, to his surprise, a colossal white serpent suddenly burst out from Orochimaru's mouth.

"A giant serpent covered in white scales... Is this your true form?"

The onslaught akin to a raging storm abruptly ceased. Standing on invisible transparent threads, Yu looked down at the enormous form bursting out of Orochimaru's mouth on the ground, furrowing his brow. "It seems like you've been experimenting on yourself all along just to keep changing bodies, haven't you..."
