Naruto: Creating Immortal Techniques at Six, Shocking Uncle Snake

Chapter 145: Orochimaru Overpowered, Ishihara Returns!

---

A long time ago, before his death, Uchiha Madara had hidden away several Sharingan.

Among them were Mangekyō Sharingan, though their abilities were somewhat limited, and their power was rather weak.

Even so, they still proved to be quite useful now.

Although Orochimaru wielded Sharingan, he was not a member of the Uchiha clan, so using them didn't come as naturally.

After all, he wasn't Ishihara.

Even with the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan activated, Orochimaru quickly found himself at a disadvantage.

However, Orochimaru had more than just the Mangekyō Sharingan. He also possessed Wood Release, Sage Arts, and various Bloodline Limit abilities.

Yet Uchiha Madara merely muttered, "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique."

A massive fireball that seemed to block out the sky hurtled toward Orochimaru.

"Summoning Jutsu: Triple Rashōmon!"

Orochimaru, realizing the threat, immediately used the Rashōmon to defend himself.

However, the enormous fireball easily obliterated all three gates of the Rashōmon.

Even after breaking through, the remnants of the fireball surged toward Orochimaru.

Just as the fireball was about to strike him, just as death seemed imminent, something suddenly—

---

...In the Afterlife...

"Finally! My body is now almost completely reaper-like. Hasn't my strength increased exponentially?"

Ishihara flexed his arms, feeling the immense power coursing through him once more.

"Right now, within the Six Paths tier, I should count as one of the strongest. If there's such a thing as a level beyond the Six Paths, I might already be at that level."

If Ishihara were to face the initial seal that had once trapped him, he could now break through it with ease.

"I wonder what's happening in the Shinobi World right now. I don't even know how much time has passed."

"Still, it seems I can return anytime I want. And this new move I developed based on the Body Flicker Technique—what a masterpiece."

Ishihara murmured to himself. Earlier, he had refined the Body Flicker Technique into something far superior: Shunpo!

It was faster, quieter, and far more powerful. It allowed him to appear instantly wherever he desired.

"Well then, it's time to head back..."

"Susanoo!"

With a furious shout, Orochimaru summoned a white chakra armor that enveloped him.

The white chakra continued to expand, forming a towering giant. Orochimaru appeared within the colossal figure—Susanoo, a technique exclusive to Uchiha clan members who had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Uchiha Madara's massive fireball collided with the white Susanoo without leaving the slightest mark, surprising Madara.

"This guy... can even use Susanoo?"

To an outsider, it might appear that Orochimaru was part of the Uchiha clan.

"I admit you're somewhat talented, but this is where it ends."

Madara crossed his arms, and a towering blue giant rose from the ground.

As the strongest of the Uchiha, there was no way Madara wouldn't know how to use Susanoo.

His was a Complete Body Susanoo, while Orochimaru's was merely a giant form.

Madara's blue Susanoo swung its blade directly at the white Susanoo. Orochimaru tried to evade but found that Susanoo's movement was slightly sluggish.

Not only did Orochimaru fail to dodge, but the strike nearly shattered his white Susanoo.

Before he could catch his breath, another slash followed.

Boom!

This time, Orochimaru's Susanoo completely disintegrated.

"As expected. For someone not of the Uchiha clan, even maintaining Susanoo is a strenuous task."

Madara looked down at Orochimaru with disdain.

No matter how much of a genius he was, he couldn't compare to Hashirama.

After Hashirama's death, Madara had become unrivaled in the world, leaving him in endless solitude.

Snapping back to reality, Madara dismissed his Susanoo and approached Orochimaru directly.

Orochimaru attempted to resist, but in the next instant, Madara had him by the throat.

Too fast—far too fast!

For Madara, killing Orochimaru required no effort. His sheer speed rendered Orochimaru utterly helpless.

"Well then, I'll be taking the Six-Tails."

Hearing this, Orochimaru's pupils contracted sharply.

How did Madara know the Six-Tails was inside him?

Yes, Orochimaru had sealed the Six-Tails within his own body using a secret technique. However, this was an extremely well-guarded secret. No one should have known.

He hadn't even used the Six-Tails' chakra during the fight.

So how did Madara...

"Confused? Is sensing a Tailed Beast's location really that difficult?"

Madara looked at Orochimaru with amusement before reaching out to forcibly extract the Six-Tails from his body.

Just as he was about to act, a man appeared—

Ishihara!

Returning from the Afterlife, Ishihara immediately sensed Orochimaru and the others were in danger.

He rushed to the scene, and upon seeing Madara, instantly understood.

The man before him was trying to summon the Ten-Tails!
