“No wonder that kid said you’re a disgusting guy.”
Whitebeard looked down at the mass of snakes, creatures that would make anyone’s skin crawl, but to him, they were nothing.
Suddenly!
The two giant pythons wrapped around his arms shattered instantly.
And the snakes swarming towards Whitebeard exploded like firecrackers, with blood splattering everywhere.
This sudden, strange situation made Orochimaru pause.
“What is this?” He could feel a super high-frequency vibration coming from the naginata under his feet: “Vibration? Ninjutsu? Or a Kekkei Genkai I’ve never seen before?”
A sudden sense of crisis surged in his heart, making Orochimaru feel uneasy.
He chose to trust his instincts; a ninja of his caliber having such a premonition was never a good sign.
He immediately jumped back, trying to distance himself from Whitebeard.
Then, Orochimaru was shocked to see that Whitebeard’s Cong Yun Che weapon was enveloped in a white light wave.
“What is that?”
A flash of confusion crossed Orochimaru’s face as his sense of crisis peaked.
The next moment, Whitebeard swung his weapon in the direction Orochimaru was retreating. At the same time, the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was instantly activated.
Crack!
Under Orochimaru’s incredulous gaze, even the air shattered!
The entire scene before him was filled with white cracks. The whole world seemed to lose sound and color.
Boom——
A powerful tremor rushed forward.
Orochimaru couldn’t dodge it!
Fear flashed in his eyes. He had forgotten how long it had been since he felt such indescribable terror.
Death was imminent!
Bang!!!
The mighty Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin, was shattered along with his “fake body” and “real body,” both bursting into pieces in an instant.
Sasori was also affected, and his puppet, Hiruko, was shattered, scattering puppet parts everywhere.
The special cylinder embedded in Sasori’s chest was ejected.
That was Sasori’s last “organ,” where he stored his heart, soul, and consciousness, called the “Regeneration Core,” his only weak point.
As the “Regeneration Core” flew through the air, it had a few traces of panic.
At this moment, the strong tremor from the Tremor-Tremor Fruit continued to sweep over the vast forest area.
The ground began to crack and collapse.
Many trees were reduced to dust.
Stones were easily turned into powder.
The scene looked like a natural disaster as if the apocalypse had come to this area.
The range affected by the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was as large as the entire Konoha Village. The area covered by its power was in ruins.
“…Monster.”
The pressure of Conqueror’s Haki dissipated, allowing Kakashi to stand up straight finally. But a sudden, violent tremor almost made him stumble and fall.
His eyes were filled with shock as he looked forward.
The vast forest ahead was gone.
In the moonlight, no tree was intact.
The land was filled with ravines, with no end to the devastation in sight.
Anyone would think that there had been a massive tectonic movement.
Kakashi didn’t know if Orochimaru and the others were dead or alive.
He only knew that he would be dead beyond any doubt if he had been standing where Orochimaru and the others were.
Whitebeard…
…was too strong!
“Gurararara! Two little ninja brats trying to recruit me into some silly organization?”
Whitebeard’s hearty laugh echoed through the forest under the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit: “How about you let your ‘Akatsuki’ organization join the Whitebeard Pirates instead, becoming a subordinate fleet of the Whitebeard Pirates! Gurararara!”
“Fleeing with their tails between their legs? Does that mean both of them escaped? One of the legendary Sannin, just ran away like that?”
Kakashi, behind Whitebeard, was speechless.
Though he didn’t know who Orochimaru’s companion was, nor how powerful that puppeteer was, if they could team up with Orochimaru…
They probably weren’t much weaker.
Such two extremely powerful ninjas, who could easily destroy a small ninja village together, couldn’t even injure Whitebeard?
“Is he too strong?” Kakashi recalled the “terrible condition” of the Third Hokage. Now, could he be even stronger with Whitebeard being healthier than when he was in Konoha?
…
“Guh—”
In the distance, a severely damaged snake spat out a figure from its mouth.
With a thud, a slime-covered Orochimaru fell to the ground.
The severely damaged snake died on the spot, its breath cut off.
“Cough!” Orochimaru’s eyes were bloodshot, his skin covered in cracks, blood oozing from the numerous wounds inflicted by the strange vibration power.
He checked his body.
“Bones… broken in thirty-seven places, shattered in eleven. Left lung pierced by bone fragments, stomach also pierced, skull cracked, and severe concussion.”
“Ugh!!!!”
Orochimaru vomited blood, the intense dizziness making him feel like he was about to faint.
“My legs… shattered.” Orochimaru looked at his lower body, his legs below the knees were gone.
“That annoying part is also gone.”
His lower part was missing.
Most horrifying, his facial skin was peeled off, revealing a face that wasn’t his.
“Tch, this body is completely ruined…”
“What a monster!” Orochimaru’s eyes flashed with dread: “Is that vibration a Kekkei Genkai? And what about that aura? Is it an illusion? Or just pure intimidation?”
…
Elsewhere,
A strange cylinder hung on the edge of a cliff.
The cylinder slowly dripped blood, falling onto a miniature scroll below.
Bang—
An unconscious puppet body suddenly appeared.
The cylinder flew into the puppet’s chest.
The puppet’s chest had a vacant spot just large enough for the cylinder.
The puppet’s eyes snapped open.
The puppet looked exactly like Sasori.
But the next second…
…it kneeled on one knee, blood dripping from its mouth.
“Almost died… What kind of ninjutsu was that white light?” Sasori was terrified, his close combat abilities were always weak.
Hiruko, which he used to compensate for his close combat weaknesses, was even more fragile than tofu in front of Whitebeard.
Just now,
He felt his “Regeneration Core” almost shattered!
If he had hesitated for even a second,
He would be dead.
