The giant serpent hissed as it charged toward Yoruha. Its massive size was intimidating. Naruto watched the monstrous creature with eight heads rushing at them.
Quickly, he bit his finger and formed hand seals. "Summoning Jutsu!" Naruto slammed his hand on the ground, but nothing happened. He was dumbfounded.
He couldn't understand why his summoning jutsu had failed. Yoruha, standing nearby, explained, "Don't bother. This space has been sealed by me. Any space-related jutsu won't work here." Of course, Yoruha was the exception.
Inside and outside the space, Yoruha could use spatial ninjutsu. Naruto stood up, looking exasperated. "You could've told me earlier! Now I've got a bleeding finger for nothing." "Yoruha, it's coming this way. What should we do?"
Sakura asked worriedly. Yoruha looked at the giant serpent calmly and raised his right hand. "Lightning Release: Thunderbird." As Yoruha channeled his energy, eight golden thunderbirds, each over ten meters long, formed in front of him.
"Whoosh!" As soon as the eight thunderbirds took shape, they turned into eight golden streaks of light, shooting toward the white serpent.
They left eight golden trails in the air, and in the blink of an eye, the golden flashes sliced through the serpent's eight heads. "Splat!" The flashes passed by, and the serpent's heads were severed instantly.
Blood rained down like a storm, forming puddles on the ground. The massive heads fell, causing a slight tremor upon impact. The serpent didn't even have time to react before all eight heads were cut off simultaneously.
And Yoruha had merely raised his right hand, without even forming seals, to summon the eight thunderbirds.
These thunderbirds seemed to have a will of their own, slicing off the serpent's heads from different directions. However, Yoruha knew that this level of damage wouldn't kill Orochimaru.
It would certainly cause him immense pain, though. As expected, even after the eight heads were severed, the serpent's body didn't collapse. The heads were slowly regenerating.
From the serpent's body, Orochimaru emerged. His body was fused with the serpent's, leaving only his upper half visible.
Orochimaru glared at Yoruha from afar, the person he wished to tear apart. "That damned brat."
Orochimaru rarely lost his composure, but seeing Yoruha made him seethe with rage. Watching the serpent with its eight severed heads, Orochimaru spat out a long sword from his mouth. Naruto and Sakura nearly gagged at the sight.
"Orochimaru is so disgusting." Yoruha, however, remained unfazed. It wasn't that he didn't find it revolting, but he had anticipated Orochimaru would pull such a grotesque move. He was mentally prepared.
Wielding the saliva-covered sword, Orochimaru swung it toward Yoruha. "Mandara no Jin!" Instantly, the serpent's body split into countless venomous snakes, slithering rapidly toward Yoruha. These snakes formed a sea, surging like waves toward Yoruha and the others.
Sakura and Naruto drew their kunai, but they were tense as they faced the overwhelming snake tide. Naruto even created shadow clones, preparing to use the Rasengan.
The sky was filled with a swarm of snakes. Yoruha's eyes narrowed slightly. "Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!" In an instant, a massive fireball several meters wide formed in front of Yoruha, launching like a cannonball.
As it reached the sky above the snake swarm, the fireball rapidly expanded from its original size to a colossal sphere with a hundred-meter diameter.
The temperature inside the fireball was intense enough to melt steel, yet outside, there was no trace of heat. This was because Yoruha had applied a space-time ninjutsu to the Great Fireball Jutsu.
All the heat was confined within the space, making the fireball's temperature several times higher than a typical Great Fireball. In mere seconds, tens of thousands of venomous snakes were reduced to ashes, leaving only a charred ground behind.
Standing behind Yoruha, Naruto, who was about to form a Rasengan, twitched at the corner of his mouth. "Is this really the Great Fireball Jutsu?" "Sasuke has used the Great Fireball Jutsu before, but it was nothing ," Sakura said, her face filled with shock.
"It's truly exaggerated," Sakura admitted. She had learned the Great Fireball Jutsu, along with many Uchiha clan fire techniques from Sasuke. However, due to her limited chakra reserves, she seldom used fire-style jutsu.
After all, fire-style jutsu are too slow; they work well for crowd control but are not suitable for one-on-one battles. It was fortunate that Yoruha hadn't released a firebird.
If he had, not only would Orochimaru's snake swarm be incinerated, but even Orochimaru himself would be reduced to ashes.
Orochimaru was also taken aback by Yoruha's fire-style jutsu. "Who is this kid, really? Why was there no information about him before?"
"How could such a genius have no traceable history?" "Could it be that the Third Hokage sealed his information?" "It must be that way. Teacher, you've really left me with a huge problem."
Orochimaru believed that the Third Hokage had deliberately sealed Yoruha's information, which was why he hadn't gathered any intel on him.
In reality, it was simply because Yoruha had been inconspicuous at the ninja academy, and no one had paid attention to his details.
Seeing Orochimaru ready to make another move, Yoruha grew impatient. "It seems you have no more tricks up your sleeve. Let's end this here." With that, Yoruha clasped his hands together.
"Eight Trigrams Sealing!" Instantly, countless rune chains flew from Yoruha's body, quickly entangling Orochimaru. Before Orochimaru could react, Yoruha activated the Eight Trigrams Sealing.
"Use another curse mark to resurrect; your soul will vanish now." Yoruha clenched his fist in the air. The chains tightened instantly.
Then, the chains transformed into sealing runes, merging into the giant snake's body. Orochimaru suddenly felt his soul being trapped. "What... what kind of jutsu is this?"
"Damn it, why is my soul being sealed?" "What have you done to me? Damn it, damn it!" Yoruha watched Orochimaru's painful struggle with a calm expression.
Naruto and Sakura, witnessing Orochimaru's agonizing screams, were also frightened. Looking at Yoruha standing before them, both Sakura and Naruto had the same thought: Luckily, Yoruha was their ally; otherwise, it would be terrifying.
Orochimaru's voice grew weaker. Within seconds, his body completely merged into the giant snake, which was then compressed by the Eight Trigrams Sealing into a black sphere several meters in diameter. The black sphere floated in front of Yoruha.
Yoruha smirked slightly. "No matter how many times you can resurrect, losing a part of your soul must be unpleasant." "This soul can never be restored." With that, Yoruha clenched his fist in the air again.
Golden lightning wrapped around the surface of the black sphere. A few seconds later, the black sphere disintegrated into light particles and vanished into the air. Sakura and Naruto asked, "Yoruha, what happened to Orochimaru?"
Yoruha replied indifferently, "He's gone." "He's dead?" Yoruha explained, "At least this soul is dead. If he has curse marks on others and has sealed parts of his soul elsewhere, he can still resurrect. But the soul sealed on Sasuke has been completely erased."
