Chapter 151: Orochimaru's Interception
🕑 Added 2024-06-29 17:18:50 +0000 UTC"This can't be! It actually swallowed my full-force attack!"
The Johuto clan's purebloods, each possessing their unique abilities, were formidable opponents.
Johuto Arakai was the most perfect awakened being among them, wielding the power of the Sea Dragon, which allowed him to control the ocean at will.
Johuto Kurokiri specialized in the Silent Killing Technique, but his mist was more covert—a pure black mist that could completely obscure the enemy's vision.
As for Johuto Seika, her primary ability lay in her vast chakra reserves, enabling her to create chakra arrow showers while maintaining an eternally youthful appearance.
Her arrows were not only incredibly fast but also astonishingly powerful, once piercing the shoulder of Ao, one of the Mizukage’s right-hand men.
Had it not been for Ao's Byakugan, which allowed him to avoid attacks from blind spots, Johuto Seika might not have lost to him.
But now, she was truly panicking.
The giantess in front of her wasn't just large in stature.
She could devour chakra!
This ability was a direct counter to her own!
"Damn it!"
The chakra arrow that had just formed in Johuto Seika's hand dissipated as she reluctantly withdrew it.
She couldn’t fire it again; it was pointless.
Continuing to attack would only deplete her own chakra endlessly.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Another group of giant pufferfish burst out of the water, flying toward the gaping mouth of Inyo, the summoned beast, like dumplings into a pot.
"Pufferfish, it seems I can't avenge you. But my brothers’ deaths, I will surely avenge!"
Hidden beneath the water, Johuto Seika focused her gaze on Natsuhane standing on the shore.
"Wait and see, I'll shoot you dead!"
"Chakra Arrow Shower!!!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Several blue arrows shot from the sea into the air, and the sky quickly darkened with thick clouds. Soon, thousands of chakra arrows rained down densely, all aimed at Natsuhane.
This was Johuto Seika's ultimate move, incredibly destructive, and no opponent she had faced thus far had managed to evade it.
"Hahaha, die for me!"
Johuto Seika no longer hid, standing on the sea surface and laughing loudly.
"Using the lives of all my pufferfish to take yours, it’s worth it!"
"Boom!"
All the arrows struck the spot where Natsuhane was standing.
Inyo, the summoning beast, was too engrossed in enjoying the fish meat, floating in a state of bliss, completely forgetting to protect its master.
Not that it needed to.
It understood the power of its master, Natsuhane, all too well.
"Little girl, what are you laughing at? How could my master be killed by the toothpicks you make? Hey! Give me more pufferfish, or it won't be enough!"
"Hmph!" Johuto Seika sneered:
"Bluff all you want! I admit I can't defeat you, but I have every confidence in taking down your master. Look, my arrows have already turned your master into minced meat!... Huh? What is this?"
From the place where Natsuhane stood, a formidable blue giant emerged from the ground.
Every single arrow from Johuto Seika was blocked by the armor of the blue giant.
"Another giant? Is this guy... also a giant?"
Johuto Seika was almost in despair.
All she wanted was a simple revenge, but she hadn't expected to stir up a nest of giants.
As the blue giant appeared, the onlookers were stunned, except for Kaisei, who laughed heartily:
"Hahaha, what did I say? Our esteemed lord is no ordinary person. If he can handle snakes, he can surely deal with a giantess. Look, isn't the body proportion just perfect?"
The crowd around marveled in awe: "Tsk tsk... As expected of Lord Kaisei."
Natsuhane, standing atop Susanoo's forehead, called out to the pale-faced Johuto Seika in the distance:
"Surrender, you can't defeat me."
"...," Johuto Seika gritted her teeth, shaking her head fiercely, "I will never surrender! Even if I can’t take you down instantly, I'll wear you down to death!"
Her last resort was the immortal ability inherited from her father.
"I don't believe you can maintain this giant form forever!"
Johuto Seika raised her bow and shouted in anger, preparing to unleash another arrow shower.
However, before the chakra arrows could form, a shadow emerged beneath the sea surface at her feet, and a large snake suddenly burst out of the water, swallowing Johuto Seika whole.
Her focus had been entirely on Natsuhane, leaving her unaware of what lay beneath. By the time she realized it, she was already inside the snake's sticky stomach, her vision darkening as she lost consciousness.
Seeing the snake that had appeared out of nowhere, Natsuhane withdrew Susanoo.
"Orochimaru, why did you take my prey?"
"Hehehe..." Orochimaru emerged from the water, shaking her hair and laughing sinisterly:
"The pureblood females of the Johuto clan are valuable. I’m just intrigued. Besides, what's yours is mine, isn't it? You did say that yourself."
"Hmph, now you remember to acknowledge that?" Natsuhane glared at Orochimaru. "I already gave you one pureblood. Don't be too greedy..."
"If I weren't greedy, I wouldn't be Orochimaru..."
"Say, Natsuhane, would you mind lending this girl to me for a while? Don’t worry, I know what you're thinking. I won't harm her. Once I'm done with my research, I'll return her to you intact."
"If you agree, I'll return double in the future..."
"Oh?" Natsuhane raised an eyebrow. "Double? Have you perfected your cloning technique?"
"?" Orochimaru’s eyes narrowed, a hint of surprise in her heart.
"Natsuhane, how do you know about my cloning research?"
"Hehe..." Natsuhane pointed to his Sharingan with a mysterious look:
"Don’t you know me well? Nothing can be hidden from these eyes."
It wasn’t really the eyes; Natsuhane simply knew the storyline.

PS: I noticed many errors in the previous chapters regarding the naming of the OC character. Should I take the time to edit them now, or should I continue writing?
