Chapter 37
Dangerous Art! Obtaining the Dead Demon Consuming Seal!

“You really disappoint me. You didn't even force out the Mangekyo Sharingan?”

A hoarse, magnetic voice rang out.

Orochimaru, who had just switched bodies, emerged from the shadows.

Kabuto said in a low voice: “I apologize, Orochimaru-sama.”

“Step aside. This battle isn't something you can participate in.”

Even though he had just switched bodies, with Manda by his side, it should be enough.

Orochimaru’s handsome face was cold, and he bit his finger: “亥, 戌, 酉, 申, 未…”

Kabuto was shocked. Was Orochimaru-sama going to use that technique directly?

“Summoning Jutsu!”

Boom! Thick smoke billowed.

Itachi and Shisui jumped out.

A deafening roar echoed in their ears.

“Orochimaru, you summoned me out, so you’re going to have to offer a sacrifice!”

Orochimaru was annoyed: “Defeat them, and I’ll prepare a sacrifice for you.”

“Roar!”

A scream.

Manda’s massive body whipped out like a whip.

“Boom!”

A large crater was smashed into the ground!

Manda’s attack missed, slowly raising its head, its gigantic figure obscuring the earth.

Kabuto quickly pulled the three Jonin nearby away from the area.

The other ninjas were crushed into meat paste by Manda.

“Uchiha Itachi! I can’t believe you actually came to find me!”

Orochimaru looked greedily at the Sharingan in Itachi's eyes.

He had witnessed this genius's training before his defection, the near-suicidal training methods.

At that time, he had already developed a greed for the Sharingan.

After controlling the Daimyo of the Land of Tea, he established Otogakure, developing and researching ninjutsu.

Over the years, he improved the Edo Tensei technique left behind by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

He also conducted the first attempt at the immortality technique – the Impure World Reincarnation.

He was about to take action because he couldn't forget about Itachi's Sharingan.

Unexpectedly, he received news from a Leaf Village insider that the Uchiha clan had fallen out with the Leaf Village.

Uchiha Itachi and Fugaku had even awakened the legendary Mangekyo Sharingan.

Orochimaru hadn't expected Fugaku to endure for so long, even after the Third Shinobi World War lasted for so long.

He hadn't heard of Fugaku having the Mangekyo Sharingan, but now it had appeared.

And Itachi, at such a young age, also had the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Itachi and Shisui exchanged glances. To ensure that Kotoamatsukami would be carried out smoothly and prevent Orochimaru from being wary of genjutsu, they could only use Susanoo to deal with a giant summoned beast like Manda.

“Come on! Itachi! Let me see the Susanoo of the Mangekyo Sharingan!”

Orochimaru was full of fanaticism. He was determined to collect all the jutsu in the world.

And Susanoo was a legendary technique, how could he, a researcher, not be excited about it?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Every time Manda charged, it was like a magnitude seven earthquake.

The ground exploded, rocks flew, and dust filled the air!

Itachi and Shisui could only dodge constantly.

In the midst of the earth-shattering movement, even the flying debris carried a deadly force.

“We have to retreat!”

Kabuto, with the three unconscious people, could only quickly evacuate the battlefield.

“Itachi! Just dodging isn’t your style, come on, let me see the legendary power of the gods!”

Orochimaru was itching for a taste of the legendary Susanoo.

But Itachi and Shisui were playing hide-and-seek, making him a little impatient.

At this moment, Itachi noticed that there were only the three of them left, and exchanged a glance with Shisui.

In Itachi's eyes, the tomoe flashed, transforming magically into a spinning pinwheel pattern.

Following that, a giant made of chakra, completely orange-red, sprang up from the ground!

This chakra was like a torrent, starting from the giant’s bones, building along the meridians, until it covered the entire skin –

This was the second form of Susanoo!

Shisui wasn't idle either, he rose into the air and flew directly at Orochimaru.

“Amazing! Amazing! This is the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan! The power of the gods! Hahahaha!”

A sickly smile spread across Orochimaru's gray-green face, and he let out a satisfied laugh.

The second form of Susanoo was a big energy consumer.

As soon as Itachi transformed, he used it to smash Orochimaru's precious Manda away.

Boom! That loud bang sent Manda flying so far that it couldn't even stand, and was thrown away.

And Susanoo didn't forget to throw a Yasaka no Magatama as a parting gift.

At the same time, Orochimaru landed as Manda was thrown away, meeting Shisui, who was charging towards him.

Orochimaru shifted his gaze from Itachi's Susanoo to Shisui, saying: “Shisui, I heard that Danzo would love to get your eyes. Do you have the Mangekyo Sharingan too?”

A gleam flickered in Orochimaru's eyes.

With his intelligence, how could he not know that Shisui's Sharingan was extraordinary?

Unfortunately, he only knew that the Mangekyo Sharingan could activate Susanoo, but not the other secret techniques.

You’ll know soon enough.

The moment Orochimaru's gaze locked onto Shisui's eyes!

A tear of blood slid down Shisui's cheek, and his eyes widened suddenly!

Kotoamatsukami!

What?! Orochimaru was startled, but his reaction was too late!

【Ding, congratulations host, you have significantly rewritten Orochimaru’s life】

Host obtained: Shiki Fujin x1

Kawasaki smiled, it seems Shisui was reliable.

...

“Ugh...”

The dust and smoke billowed around, Manda wailed in pain after being hit by the Yasaka no Magatama, black flames erupted!

“What kind of fire is this?! Ah! Ah...”

It shouted: “Orochimaru, what are you doing?!”

In its final glance, it only saw Orochimaru suddenly freeze and fall from the sky.

How is that possible?!

Orochimaru lost?!

Why didn’t he use any jutsu, like Snake Shadow Hands, or the Manda Formation?!”

Manda was a little panicked, “Bang!” it turned into a puff of smoke and ran for its life!

Orochimaru looked up, his voice hoarse: “That's good, it saves me a sacrifice.”

“You guys are just arriving, we have a lot more to do, don’t dawdle.”

With that, Orochimaru turned and walked towards the valley behind him.

Itachi released Susanoo, panting heavily as he landed, supporting the exhausted Shisui.

He met Shisui's gaze, and Shisui nodded wearily.

At that moment, he changed Orochimaru's will.

Orochimaru, who had planned to become the wind that pushed the windmill.

Under Kotoamatsukami, he realized he wasn't alone.

He had companions who shared his goals, and they would become that wind together.

Now, he not only wanted to push the windmill, but also to sweep the world like a storm.

Orochimaru walked in front, seeing that Itachi and Shisui were exhausted.

“Susanoo doesn't just consume chakra, does it?”

Itachi nodded: “Susanoo also consumes the power of the eyes, it's a very dangerous technique.”
