Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 264: The battle between humans and immortals, the cloud thunder cannon!
now,

Longdi Cave.

I don’t know where, but there was a rhythmic sound of wooden fish tapping.
Under the high gate, on the huge throne,
The gigantic white-scaled snake that was coiled up on the chair with its eyes closed and in deep sleep suddenly opened its pair of golden snake pupils!
This snake is the owner of Longdi Cave, the White Snake Immortal.

At this moment, it narrowed its eyes, and its golden pupils lit up.
The next moment, it projected in front of it what it heard in the dream, what it was concerned about, and what happened in the ninja world through thought waves.

This is a unique ability of the White Snake Immortal, which allows him to record images and then play them back, thus recreating past experiences.

The name of the technique is: "Spiritual and Mighty Light!"

The picture appeared, and the scene of Uchiha Ci having his tailed beast extracted by the Amber Bottle appeared in front of the White Snake Sage.

see,

"Hiss!" The White Snake Immortal's pupils suddenly shrank, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
"I thought I could cultivate this chess piece until it awakens its eyes and then seize it. By then, I can seize the body of a real dragon and ascend the Dragon Transformation Steps, which can also bring some help to me, but..."

"But he is ignorant of life and death, provoking a powerful enemy that he cannot defeat. In the end, he will end up dead."

The White Snake Immortal stared at Lingwei, whose body had been torn out by the amber bottle, and shook his head with an indifferent look.

"After the Jinchūriki was extracted from the Tailed Beast, there was only one way left... death!"

"This is something that even the Uzumaki clan, who possess the bodies of immortals, cannot resist."

"but."

"Fortunately, I have already made a backup plan!"

The White Snake Immortal grinned and sneered.
"In the current situation, I have no choice but to sacrifice this chess piece, and use its immortality and this artificial tailed beast to cultivate a soulless body for me to use. And just in time, I can use the power of this divine weapon to achieve the perfect theft!"

"It also saves me from having to deal with this brat. The Sharingan is also a hassle. It's a waste to use it."

"So--"

As soon as he thought of this, the golden pupils of the White Snake Immortal suddenly turned cold, and his pair of snake eyes suddenly lit up!

"Immortal Technique: Legend of Strange Shadow!"

#
the other side,
The country of thunder, Yunyin Village.

On the broken and collapsed Raikage Building,

Standing in the mouth of the Yamata no Orochi with his arms folded across his chest, Orochimaru looked down indifferently at the ruins below where smoke was drifting in the night.
And the group of trembling Cloud Hidden Man pushing the giant creature towards him.

The front hand was attacked and suffered heavy damage, and the Cloud Hidden Ninja side organized ninjas to fight back.
However, since the Kumogakure army, the Third Raikage, and the two Jinchūriki had already left the village, the village's defenses were simply vulnerable in Orochimaru's eyes.

But, there are exceptions to everything.
"What it is?"

Looking at the huge creature pushed out by the Hidden Cloud Village in the distance, Orochimaru couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

That thing was composed of three thick steel barrels combined on a cylindrical frame, with a recoil device, cradle, upper frame, elevation device, steering device, balance device, aiming device, lower frame, large frame and moving body installed on the frame. It looked very much like a backward weapon called "cannon" that had recently emerged in the ninja world.

Compared to the artillery, this thing in front of us looks more beautiful. Various steel components fit together perfectly, giving it a unique beauty.

However, the gun barrel that needed to be manually controlled to aim was simply unable to hit the swift-moving ninja, and the ammunition mainly used explosive talisman balls, which were not powerful enough to even penetrate the first layer of his triple Rashomon.

Orochimaru conducted some brief research in this direction for a few days, but after discovering that gunpowder was far less effective than Fire Style, he quickly threw it aside.

At this moment, seeing Yunyin pushing such a thing, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed hoarsely,

"Ninja, actually need to rely on this kind of external things, Kumogakure, you are really at your wit's end."

Just when Orochimaru wanted to control the snake and kill it with a sweep,
This uncompleted S-level forbidden technique, the core of the Yamata no Orochi technique, the 'power of regeneration', had some problems, causing the Yamata no Orochi, the incarnation of Orochimaru's obsession, to have some confusion in its actions.

Then, he sensed that the curse he had cast thousands of miles away was triggered.

I think it was because the backup plan of Zero Tail that he had sewn into Uchiha Ci's body when he left the village was activated.

Orochimaru could not help but frown.
"The forbidden technique obtained through dissection, Flesh Regeneration, is still not perfect, and the current materials are not enough to support further development."

"We still have to find Shennong and get the original from him."

"Well." Orochimaru shook his head, bit his finger, formed a hand seal for the summoning technique, and pressed it in the air.

"Psychic art·Threefold Rashomon!"

The hoarse voice fell,
And three huge Rashomons suddenly rose from the ground!

Triple Rashomon, this technique is inherited from the Five-Layer Rashomon of the First Hokage, and is a defensive wall summoned to absorb all attacks. The first layer can withstand attacks from the front, the second layer reduces the power of the attack, and the third layer diffuses the attack pressure.

According to these three doors with different functions, the power of all attacks will be greatly reduced when they reach the practitioner!
Faced with the 'cannon' that couldn't even penetrate the first gate, Orochimaru used the Triple Rashomon. Although it was mainly because of some expected situations on the disciples' side, it also really gave face to Kumogakure.

Standing behind the triple doors, ignoring the wailing sounds in my ears,
Orochimaru closed his eyes and sensed the situation thousands of miles away.

The Curse Seal, also known as the Curse Seal Parasite Technique, contains fragments of Orochimaru's soul, so he can do such a thing. Its principle is the same as the Shadow Clone Technique's explosion and feedback to memory, but Orochimaru's is more advanced.

Soon, Orochimaru raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The seal of the First Hokage's necklace inside Zero-Tails has been unlocked."

"It looks like the White Snake Immortal is about to take action."

"You realized that things were not going well, thought that Uchiha Ci would die, and then wanted to escape with what you wanted?"

"Hum hum"

Thinking of this, Orochimaru couldn't help but curl his lips and smiled coldly.
"As an immortal, you are as impatient as a fool."

Long before, when the White Snake Immortal taught Uchiha Ci the Immortal Technique of Transmitting the Distant Shadow, Uchiha Ci passed the news to Orochimaru through the Uchiha clan's channels.
However, Orochimaru did not reply to Uchiha's letter or explain anything afterwards.

That's because he had already left a backup plan!
All gifts from fate come at a price.

Back then on the Sand Village battlefield, when Uchiha Ci accepted the power of the White Snake Sage, the opponent set a trap for him.

Orochimaru knew this, and he was an expert in this area.

He was originally living in the Heaven's Curse Seal, so he was naturally very sensitive to the strange forces in the Heaven's Curse Seal other than the natural energy.
The White Snake Sage hid his consciousness in the Ryuchido Senjutsu Chakra of the Cat's Eye Stone, thinking that he could hide without being discovered. However, after Uchiha Ci returned to the village to seal the Nine-Tails, he was sent to the Konoha Hospital. After a round of examination by Orochimaru, he discovered that the other party had already hidden there.

Although Orochimaru didn't know what the other party wanted to do at that time, he had already laid a backup plan.
And this backhand,

These were the Hashirama cells that he implanted into the Zero-Tail, and the Shodaime Hokage necklace that he begged from Tsunade!
Faced with Uchiha Ci's character as a 'Tsunade trap', Tsunade certainly would not object when Orochimaru mentioned it. Instead, she felt uneasy about the possible ominous curse of the necklace itself.

After that, Orochimaru blackmailed Yamato, who mastered Wood Release, from Danzo, and Yamato was the only one who could activate the hidden power of the Shodaime Hokage's necklace.

Moreover, after learning from Uchiha Ci what the White Snake Immortal was going to do,
Orochimaru even directly guessed what the other party wanted to do and how he would achieve his goal!

Immortal Law: Legend of Distant Shadow,

This technique is the key!
With this magic, one can do two things at once and forcibly steal the other person's mind.

When faced with Uchiha Ci who possessed the Sharingan, the White Snake Sage chose to use this magic to quietly steal the dragon personality that was born after Uchiha Ci used the curse seal, and disguised himself as being controlled by Uchiha Ci with the magic of the Transmission of the Distant Shadow, trying to deceive the latter and wait for Uchiha Ci to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan before feasting on him!
Take full control of it!

But now, the White Snake Immortal sensed something was wrong and realized that Uchiha Ci might die in Hell Valley, so he activated his backup plan without hesitation.

It will forcibly occupy the body with its dragon personality and become the new Zero-Tail Jinchūriki. It will then activate the forbidden technique of physical rebirth to create a new heart in Uchiha Ci's body and cut out this heart as the basis for regenerating the body.

Finally, he borrowed the power of the sacred artifact Amber Purifier Bottle to break free from the Bagua seal and escape from this place. He intended to carry Uchiha Ci's heart and Zero Tail to the dragon vein of the Wind Country to complete his plan of transforming into a dragon!
however--

"Hehehe, you want to run away, have you asked me?"

Orochimaru suddenly opened his pair of golden snake eyes and sneered hoarsely!

He raised his left hand without hesitation and made a seal -

A 'zero' appeared on the palm of his hand!

This is,

Naruto-style ear-obedience technique: Kuoan Ruyuu Chuan Shou!
however,
next moment,
A thick golden beam of light shot out from the Yunyin side's position!

Countless Kumogakure ninjas died after their chakra was sucked out by the chakra cannon.

"--boom!!"

This contains the anger, will, and determination of countless people in Yunyin.
Shoot with a bang!

He then blew up the triple Rashomon that Orochimaru had erected in front of him one after another with ease!

Seeing this scene,
Orochimaru's smile froze on his face, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
He looked in horror at the three Rashomon gates in front of him that were blasted through one after another!
And the side,

After blasting through the triple Rashomon, the remaining force continued and it immediately shattered the two heads of the Yamata no Orochi beside him!
"What the hell is this!?"
