Chapter 623: Accessing Orochimaru's Memories
Orochimaru's thinking was not flawed.
For an ordinary person, Aoba's actions would be considered repetitive consumption, but Aoba is no ordinary individual.
After acquiring the Sage Body, Aoba's chakra has reached an immensely dense level, making such expenditure trivial for him, and he quickly recovers to his normal state.
At this moment,
Aoba, facing the Kusanagi Sword thrown by Orochimaru, displays no disturbance in his Rinnegan eyes.
This is nothing!
For others, this sharp Kusanagi Sword could pierce their hearts and end their lives instantly.
It's known that the ninja world has always had high offense but low defense, and even a simple kunai can be lethal.
Many ninjas have died from kunai wounds!
Even Hashirama once made Madara believe he was about to commit suicide by gesturing with a kunai towards himself.
Under these circumstances,
The exceptionally sharp Kusanagi Sword that Orochimaru possesses completely outclasses other ninja tools like kunai and shuriken in terms of destructive power.
However…
Such a Kusanagi Sword is trivial in front of Aoba, who possesses a Sage Body similar to that of Hashirama. As long as he has chakra in his body, he can continuously perform ninjutsu that regenerates any severe wounds almost instantly.
Of course, Aoba, fearless as he is, doesn't want such a sharp blade to pierce his body, as there is absolutely no need for it.
At this moment,
Orochimaru's narrow snake-like eyes sparkle with a hard-to-describe sense of triumph.
Let's see how you handle this!
Orochimaru seems to be waiting for Aoba to choose between two poisons!
Either endure this sword strike forcibly!
Or use the repulsive force again to push them both away!
Orochimaru believes that such repetitive consumption will eventually wear down his opponent, as the barrier around them continuously consumes a significant amount of chakra.
The damage from being pushed out is merely a collision with the barrier wall, which doesn't cause him any real harm but could provide an opportunity to escape.
Orochimaru has made up his mind.
He's prepared for the moment the young Uchiha pushes him away, and then he will not re-enter this place.
For a moment,
Orochimaru's eyes fixate on Aoba, waiting for his next move.
However, at this moment, a surprising scene unfolds, and Orochimaru can hardly believe his eyes!
A terrifying scene appears before him.
The young Uchiha, who just raised his right hand, now has two additional heads behind his own.
Three faces on one head.
This is a bizarre scene.
Yet this is just the beginning…
The young Uchiha not only has two additional faces but also four extra arms behind him.
These four arms consist of two left and two right arms!
Almost instantly, he appears as a figure with three heads and six arms.
"Hiss…"
Even Orochimaru couldn't help but take a sharp intake of breath at this moment.
Despite his extensive knowledge, Orochimaru has never seen such a terrifying sight. Is this really a transformation that a human can undergo?
Although the young Uchiha is still masked, he can feel the chilling gaze from the two additional pairs of Rinnegan.
Terrifying!
Shocking!
Astonishing!
Such emotions instantly fill Orochimaru's heart.
Is this the power of the Rinnegan?
Orochimaru firmly believes that such a transformation, aside from the Rinnegan, is impossible for anyone else to achieve!
All his life.
Orochimaru has been in the ninja world.
He's seen all sorts of jutsu!
Yet he still firmly believes!
Orochimaru always thought the power of science could change the ninja world!
But…
Until he witnessed the current scene!
Such a mythical, three-headed, six-armed appearance truly before him!
Orochimaru then realized how weak and almost ridiculous science seemed in front of magic!
How can science explain this?
But even if it doesn't make sense and can't be explained, not even with a jutsu, this three-headed, six-armed technique doesn't resemble a clone jutsu or a transformation jutsu. It is the genuine appearance of two extra faces and four arms.
This is truly beyond belief!
Pop!
After the appearance of the three heads and six arms, one of the arms behind him grabs the hilt of the flying Kusanagi Sword, eliciting a sharp clink.
At this moment, Aoiba is using the abilities of the Asura Path from the Six Paths of Pain. The Asura Path can transform into a three-headed, six-armed figure and display immense strength, and combined with Aoba's power, grabbing the sword is no problem at all.
After being grabbed, the sword's momentum stops entirely, causing no harm to Aoba.
Following this,
Now, the only thing flying towards Aoba is Orochimaru!
Orochimaru did not expect Aoba to respond to his attack this way, and he had no contingency plan, or rather, he no longer had any.
Within this barrier, Orochimaru's Body Replacement Technique is severely weakened, and all his tactics seem inadequate.
Pop!
Another crisp sound followed, and Aoba's right hand once again grasped Orochimaru's neck.
But this time, Aoba does not use his chakra absorption abilities; instead, his other arms also grab Orochimaru's neck and arms, freeing up his right hand.
Then.
Aoba's right hand slowly rises, moving towards the top of Orochimaru's head…
This action suddenly tightens Orochimaru's heart, as he has no idea what Aoba intends to do but is powerless to stop what's happening. He can only watch as Aoba's hand easily lands on his head.
The meaning of this action is probably only known by Aoba himself!
"Ding Dong!"
A crisp electronic notification sound rings in his mind as Aoba's palm touches Orochimaru's head.
"Memory reading, successful!"
Subsequently, a warm flow slowly moves through Aoba, channeling into his limbs.
At the same time.
One memory image after another flashes before his eyes and is stored in his mind. These are Orochimaru's memories.
He has successfully read Orochimaru's memories!
