Chapter 164 Orochimaru's Hole Card
🕑 Added 2025-05-13 10:58:48 +0000 UTCOrochimaru's dark yellow pupils reflected Simu's burly frame.
Years of combat experience allowed him to make the best decision.
He made hand seals and opened his mouth at an inhuman angle.
"The Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes!"
Tens of thousands of long brown snakes spewed out of his mouth like a waterfall, flooding the area like an ocean ready to drown Simu.
"What a disgusting ninjutsu."
Simu's face turned slightly cold.
The turbulent snake tide instantly filled the previously narrow passage.
There was no way to deal with this level of attack with just a slash.
Simu’s body swelled up slightly, entering his half-beast state.
He then opened his mouth.
"Immortal Art: Flame Sea!"
Immortal Chakra poured into the flames, and the sea of snakes in front of him was burned wantonly!
Simu waved the eight fasts in his hand, carving a passage through the sea of flames.
A flash of light flickered through the corridor, and Simu, now in human form, stabbed the serpent with the lightsaber in his hand.
Four clones?
Simu frowned.
Orochimaru and his three clones stood in four different directions.
The moment the flash appeared, the four simultaneously formed seals.
"Four Black Snake Formation!"
Purple Chakra poured out of them, connecting to form a square beam of light, enveloping Simu.
"A trap?"
A look of surprise flashed in Simu's eyes.
He knew his powerful sentience.
So Orochimaru had deliberately summoned clones at the moment he appeared...
Simu thought briefly as he observed the scattered scrolls.
It could only be said that Orochimaru, being one of the Sannin, was far more experienced than ordinary ninjas.
Orochimaru’s body stood outside, his greedy eyes swimming over Simu's body through the purple barrier.
"What a pity for such a wonderful body."
He wore an expression of regret.
"Boy, wait for me. One day, I’ll come back and take your body."
Simu raised an eyebrow and slowly stood up, inch by inch.
"You don’t think this formation can stop me, do you?"
Simu once again entered his beast state.
Now seven meters tall, he broke through the rock above his head.
The raging Conqueror's Haki made the entire ground tremble violently.
Dark red lightning flickered and swam on the eight fasts like a dragon.
"Thunder Eight Trigrams!"
Simu swung the eight fasts violently at the purple barrier in front of him.
Terrible power erupted from his body in an instant.
Though the Four Black Snake Formation was strong enough to trap a tailed beast, Orochimaru still had no confidence in his heart and immediately ran out of the passage.
The sharp spikes of the eight fasts hit the barrier.
The dark red thunder erupted with a terrible roar.
As the first crack appeared, the eight fasts in Simu's hand immediately destroyed the barrier in front of him.
The surging energy transformed into a pillar of thunder, with an ominous aura, aiming at Orochimaru’s escape path to pursue him.
The terrifying thunder pillar immediately pierced through the rocky ground.
The previously quiet ruins suddenly trembled.
The thunder pillar shot straight up from the ground like an invincible spear.
Simu followed closely behind, jumping out of the passage created by the thunder pillar.
He looked ahead and saw that Orochimaru’s lower body had been completely burned.
Orochimaru opened his mouth and pressed his hands against it, producing a slimy new body from within.
"It's really hard to kill."
Bitter killing intent flashed in Simu's eyes.
Before Orochimaru could speak, Simu had already launched a new round of offensive.
"Overlord!"
The enormous shockwave mercilessly split the ground, blasting toward Orochimaru with unrivaled momentum.
"It seems immortality is my only option today."
Orochimaru's face grew serious as he sealed again.
"Summoning Technique: Triple Rashomon!"
Three hideous gates rose from the ground in front of Orochimaru.
Each gate had a majestic and strange ghost face carved on it, with two bells hanging above them, jingling.
But the bells didn’t attract souls, instead, they attracted the shockwave!
The powerful impact bombarded heavily against the hideous gates.
The first ghost gate instantly shattered.
The second groaned as it fell apart.
It wasn’t until the third gate that Simu’s attack was barely stopped.
But Simu was far from done.
He rushed forward, swinging the eight fasts in his hand.
"Thunder Eight Trigrams!"
Conqueror's Haki turned into dark red thunder and roared out again, striking the gate with force.
This time, there was no resistance. Under the attack of the eight fasts, Rashomon was reduced to ashes.
Orochimaru's eyes flashed.
He never expected that leaving Konoha would be so rough.
If it weren't for Simu discovering him, it would have been impossible for those guys in Anbu to catch him alone.
After all, Orochimaru had also worked in Anbu.
No one knew their pursuit and combat methods better than him, and he could effectively avoid them.
This was why Konoha wanted to kill rogue ninjas at all costs.
They knew too much!
Without a trace of hesitation, Orochimaru burst out with all his Chakra.
His body completely transformed into white.
Then it swelled up, just like Simu did earlier.
White scales appeared on the surface of his skin.
In addition to his original head, seven white snake heads grew on both sides of his shoulders.
In an instant, he turned into a huge eight-headed snake, tens of meters high.
Simu took a few steps back.
He recognized this ninjutsu as one of the Forbidden Techniques mastered by Orochimaru.
Yamata no Orochi Technique!
The eight huge white snake heads let out terrifying hisses.
There were also eight massive spikes interspersed in the ground, creating a truly terrifying sight.
"Immortal Art: Flame Sea!"
Simu opened his mouth, and a sea of fire gushed out.
Faced with such a massive move, Orochimaru, now using the Yamata no Orochi Technique, could already handle it easily.
The eight snake heads opened their mouths wide at the same time.
Waves of sharp sound burst out suddenly.
Even the sweeping fiery sea containing Chakra's magic was hard to resist.
Under the vibration of the sound waves, the flames collapsed into weak embers and dissipated into the air.
"As expected of a Sannin, he still hides such a trump card."
Simu pulled himself together.
Sure enough, after destroying Simu's attack with sound waves, Orochimaru took the initiative to attack.
Eight snake heads shot out at the same time, biting towards Simu from different directions.
Without hesitation, Simu wrapped his Haki-enchanted Eight Fasts around him.
Facing the attacking snake heads, he smashed them hard.
The sharp thorns on the Eight Fasts were like claws, tearing apart the snake's head with ease!
Thanks to Observation Haki, Simu could effortlessly dodge the remaining seven snake heads' attacks.
This made Orochimaru even more furious.
Simu slipped sideways, and the strong snake head crushed the rocks beneath them.
Not to mention the rocks, even Simu's steely body would suffer serious injuries if bitten.
Another snake head struck.
Simu's body rapidly shrank, and after turning into his human form, he vanished like a flash of light.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared between the other two snake heads.
"Immortal Art: Yata Mirror Slash!"
A golden light snaked out from Simu's palm.
Like a magic sword, it twisted like lightning and cut off three heads of Orochimaru before he could react!
Bright red blood spurted from the white snake's wounds.
Then it fell like a rain of blood.
The remaining four snake heads let out painful and furious roars.
Amidst the stinky rain of blood, the four snake heads bit towards Simu with intense anger and pain.
Simu's expression remained unchanged.
He opened his mouth and expelled a flame, evaporating all the surrounding blood rain.
On the other hand, the Ama no Umo sword, formed of flashes, appeared.
Simu waved lightly.
The long sword in his hand instantly extended to tens of meters long.
Simu tapped one foot on the ground lightly, a light flashing in his eyes.
"There's a gap!"
The golden long sword slashed quickly.
The tens of meters long lightsaber severed Orochimaru's head once again.
But Simu didn't show much joy on his face.
Because Orochimaru's other three heads had already surrounded him from different directions.
Immortal Art: Yata Mirror Slash had already been used once.
Presumably, a person of Orochimaru's level wouldn’t fall for the same trick twice.
So Simu kicked his feet, preparing to jump high into the air.
But the two snake heads on the left and right closed in on him.
The remaining snake head opened its ferocious scarlet mouth, from which red flames gushed out.
Simu suddenly felt a sense of danger.
This was extremely dangerous!
It could be said that this was the most perilous moment he had faced since arriving in this world!
Raging red flames shot out from the huge mouth in front of him.
Simu's eyes reflected a red gourd-shaped shadow.
Ten Fist Sword!
Simu recognized this legendary treasure.
A powerful Noble Phantasm capable of sealing everything!
Surrounded by two white snakes, all possible escape routes for him were blocked.
Red flames completely filled Simu's pupils.
His body rapidly swelled to seven meters.
Although Simu wasn’t sure which plane he was currently on, Orochimaru made sure to target the center of Simu's body.
After all, the Ten Fist Sword only needed to hit the enemy.
Even a glancing blow could seal the person into the gourd!
This was the only treasure Orochimaru had found in countless texts that could limit the abilities of the Prime.
In an unprepared situation, no one could escape the surprise attack of the Ten Fist Sword.
Sure enough, Simu, now seven meters high, couldn't get out of the way.
The flaming sword pierced Simu right in the middle!
