Chapter 119 Jiraiya: Orochimaru, what kind of monster have you become? [First Update]
Previously, Jiraiya wasn't quite sure why Orochimaru was so vulnerable when facing Itachi Uchiha, and why his resistance to genjutsu was so poor.
If Itachi Uchiha had used the Mangekyou Sharingan and that ninjutsu called Tsukuyomi, that would have been one thing.
The result was that it was just a very ordinary genjutsu, yet it was enough to catch Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin, and kill him instantly by Itachi Uchiha.
His performance not only made him lose face, but also made him, one of the Legendary Sannin, feel ashamed.
The three of them complement each other; any outstanding performance by one of them can boost the reputation of the other two.
Similarly, if any one person performs poorly, it will make all three of them look bad.
Even at the very end, during the possession phase, he was actually killed by Sasuke Uchiha, who was barely fully grown in hair. This was truly humiliating.
But now that we've figured it out, there's probably a huge problem with reincarnation.
After all, this is a forbidden technique, and any forbidden technique is usually listed as such because it carries enormous risks.
There is no ninjutsu that has only benefits and no drawbacks, and that requires no price to pay.
And he finally couldn't understand why Kitahara Kaede sometimes referred to Orochimaru as "Snake Aunt" in his diary.
At the time, he didn't understand and didn't know what kind of perverse nickname it was. Now he completely understands. It's not that Kitahara Kaede's nickname was perverse, but rather that Orochimaru is now a woman.
The thought of his companion turning into a woman made Jiraiya shudder; he felt utterly disgusted.
Orochimaru, you've truly become a monster, neither male nor female, inhuman.
"So this is Orochimaru's purpose, Orochimaru's plan."
Sasuke Uchiha saw Orochimaru's transformation in the scene. Orochimaru wanted to pursue immortality, and his own body was something Orochimaru valued.
After suffering a great loss in front of Itachi Uchiha, he set his sights on the bloodline of the Uchiha clan.
He had seen the woman's appearance in a previous video, specifically in the special space of Orochimaru's reincarnation ritual, where she was in a soul state, imprisoned within it.
He was originally indifferent, and even willing to sell his body to a demon in order to kill Uchiha Itachi and avenge his clan.
However, Orochimaru's performance greatly disappointed him!
Sasuke Uchiha had no interest in any of Orochimaru's theories. Like most members of the Uchiha clan, he only believed in powerful strength.
Talking nonsense or anything like that is useless against him; giving him a good beating is much better than anything else.
Although Orochimaru is still incredibly powerful, even with the current strength that Sasuke Uchiha possesses, he is still unimaginably strong.
However, among Kage-level shinobi, Orochimaru was not particularly outstanding, so Sasuke Uchiha instinctively felt some resistance.
In Konoha, I was able to grow to this level as well.
In the future, I will awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, and I will not need to kill my closest relatives.
On the contrary, Itachi Uchiha was eager to get up and go to the Land of Rice Fields to find Orochimaru and kill him in advance. This would not only relieve Sasuke Uchiha of his worries, but also prevent the future collapse of Konoha.
The Akatsuki organization has been searching for Orochimaru for a long time, so isn't this perfect?
However, at the same time, he felt that Sasuke's original path in history seemed to be good, and that Orochimaru could train Sasuke for three years first.
Judging from Sasuke's later performance, Orochimaru was quite excellent at teaching his students.
This put him in a dilemma.
Meanwhile, the First Hokage in the scene did not stop for a moment and unleashed a Wood Release ninjutsu, instantly filling the entire space with countless trees that grew up.
The terrifying effect of the Wood Release technique was astonishing, and it also obscured the vision of everyone in the space.
Those in the Dark Guard watching from the outside could no longer see what was happening inside.
"Don't let your guard down, teacher. You're always too naive."
Looking at the bleeding Third Hokage, Orochimaru spoke with a cold laugh.
It was only then that everyone realized that, at the crucial moment, the Third Hokage had used the Shadow Clone Technique to create multiple Ruyi Jingu Bangs, which blocked the Wood Release attack at the critical moment.
"What's wrong with you since just now? This isn't like you at all." Enma seemed to still not understand what was going on with Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"I'm sorry." The Third Hokage seemed to have finally figured something out.
In his mind, he recalled the image of Orochimaru, so talented, so lovable, and the one who could inherit his power and will.
His naiveté and forbearance at the time led to the current situation.
He watched helplessly as Orochimaru escaped, which ultimately led to this situation.
"So even the Hokage can be biased?"
Uchiha Itachi, who was off-screen, witnessed this scene and felt a mix of emotions.
Even the Hokage, whom he once looked up to, now seems to have a side of favoritism.
Despite how many village ninjas Orochimaru had slaughtered, he did not choose to kill Orochimaru.
That's what ultimately led to this situation.
"The old man still has a soft heart," Jiraiya muttered to himself.
However, on this issue, his relationship with the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was that of an elder brother who didn't speak of his position as the second elder brother.
The Third Hokage watched helplessly as Orochimaru walked away. He couldn't bring himself to kill him because Orochimaru was a disciple he had trained for decades, someone he believed could inherit his will and power.
But what about yourself?
He himself had also let Orochimaru go at the crucial moment; otherwise, would Orochimaru have escaped from his grasp with only serious injuries?
In a previous video, when Kakashi Hatake was still in the Anbu, he encountered Orochimaru. At that time, Orochimaru was already severely injured and barely alive.
The person who caused this situation was none other than Jiraiya.
However, Jiraiya couldn't bring himself to keep Orochimaru at the time. He knew very well that if he kept Orochimaru, the final outcome would likely be death.
His teacher made a big mistake on this issue back then, and so did he.
Although everyone thought he had done his best, only he knew that he still had some strength left. At least at that time, he could have taken Orochimaru down with him, or simply stalled for time until the main force of Konoha arrived.
Therefore, at this moment, he could fully understand what the teacher in the picture was thinking, both because of the nostalgia for past friendships and the regret for the big mistake he had made.
Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi in the scene had made up his mind; this time, he was going to thoroughly clean house.
Faced with the First and Second Hokage charging directly at him, the Third Hokage used the Shadow Clone Technique, which he had never dared to use before.
The outcome hinges on this moment.
Everyone could see the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi's determination at this moment. Everyone had previously judged that the amount of chakra in the Third Hokage's body was limited. He was old. Not only was the total amount of chakra far less than in his peak period, but even the speed of chakra recovery was far from comparable to his peak period.
Therefore, the Shadow Clone Technique cannot be used in ordinary circumstances!
Since it was used, and two shadow clones were created, then it's time for a decisive battle.
The ANBU members who witnessed this scene were equally shocked, exclaiming in astonishment, "Why use the Shadow Clone Technique? It disperses the little chakra you have left!"
"It seems you really are getting old, you're even in a hurry to shorten your lifespan."
Orochimaru just kept sneering at what he saw.
At this moment, Enma seemed to have thought of something. As his old partner who had been with Hiruzen Sarutobi for a lifetime, how could he not know what his old friend was thinking?
"What? You mean you want to?"
While the Monkey King was still in shock, the Third Hokage had already completed the hand seals, and a huge figure of a death god formed behind him.
The terrifying and overwhelming pressure instantly formed, and everyone reading the diary immediately became solemn. This pressure was heavy, terrifying, and unbelievable.
"What is that?" Itachi Uchiha asked in shock.
This pressure clearly far exceeded the so-called Kage level; it was terrifying to the extreme.
Kakashi Hatake and Sasuke Uchiha were both covered in cold sweat, their mouths full of sharp teeth biting a knife, looking absolutely terrifying.
"That's... the Grim Reaper? The so-called Grim Reaper that only the caster of that technique can see?" Jiraiya stared intently at the scene before him, and suddenly he realized what it was.
Corpse Demon Sealing!
His disciple once used this technique to seal the Nine-Tails, but paid for it with his life, so he knew about it to some extent, not completely ignorant of it.
It is said that after the spell is cast, only the caster can see a terrifying being called Death.
Logically, they shouldn't be visible!
But now they are all able to see the Grim Reaper behind this through the power of this diary.
Thinking of this reminds me of my disciple who died young, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, whom I called the most perfect ninja. It's such a pity; he should have had unlimited potential.
"Is this the Grim Reaper that the Fourth Hokage said could only be seen by those who have made a contract with this ninjutsu?" The Third Hokage looked at the phantom of the Grim Reaper that appeared behind him and immediately understood.
But Orochimaru, oblivious to the impending doom, immediately retorted sarcastically, "It's too late to do anything now."
"I have won. Konoha is doomed."
