Naruto Law of the Devil

Chapter 178: Eight Branches Jutsu

"That is... terrifying!!"

At this moment, both Haku and Kimimaro ran over from the side. Seeing Orochimaru's true form in front of them, Haku immediately covered his mouth, barely suppressing the urge to scream.

A face that could hardly be called human anymore, with huge menacing fangs and mandibles exposed in the enormous mouth. The massive body resembled a white python, with every white scale on its body composed of small white snakes.

Not to mention Haku and Kimimaro, these two inexperienced children, even Yu couldn't help but feel nauseous at the sight of Orochimaru revealing his true form at this moment.

During this period, Orochimaru was at the peak of his attractiveness, but he ended up transforming himself into this monstrous and ghostly appearance.

"Hahaha..."

"Give me... give me your body... let me become you!!"

Feeling Yu's condescending gaze from above, Orochimaru, who had transformed into the monstrous white serpent, became even more insane. The enormous and menacing mouth emitted a frenzied and hysterical screech.

As the words fell, the true form of Orochimaru's white-scaled serpent contorted for a moment, then suddenly burst forth with tremendous force, soaring into the sky at an incredible speed, its mouth wide open, aiming to devour Yu in one bite!

"You're too noisy... and..."

Facing the white-scaled serpent surging up from the ground to swallow him in an instant, Yu's amber eyes flickered with determination. The blackened Armament Haki hands took on the form of three dragon claws simultaneously.

"A snake crawling on the ground... can never become a dragon soaring in the sky!!"

"Dragon's Breath!!"

With Yu's words sounding like a heavenly judgment, his entire body arched backward like a bowstring, gathering all his strength to the utmost. Then, with a fierce roar, he thrust forward with his Dragon Claws!

Boom!!!

With unparalleled momentum, displacing all the air in front of him in one breath, Yu's full-powered Taijutsu manifested directly into a colossal dragon-shaped burst of air.

Though it didn't match the earth-shattering power of Shunko amplified tenfold, Yu, now fully embracing the power of a Kage, unleashed Dragon's Breath with all his might, its power rivaling any S-rank Ninjutsu.

"This is?!"

Facing the colossal dragon-shaped burst of air unleashed by Yu's full-powered attack, Orochimaru, in his white-scaled serpent form, was stunned.

Wasn't this black dragon, existing between reality and illusion, with its graceful yet supremely domineering and transcendent form, exactly what he had dreamed of and pursued?

Boom!!

The entire forest ground trembled fiercely.

With no room for any luck, under the stunned gaze of Haku and Kimimaro, the white-scaled serpent that had soared into the sky was directly slammed down by Yu.

The aftermath was overwhelming. The ferocious and unrivaled dragon-shaped burst of air directly blasted a huge and incomparable crater into the earth. Orochimaru's white-scaled serpent form was nearly turned into a mass of pulp by this terrifying power.

"Hiss... hiss... hiss..."

The remaining white-scaled serpent, every white scale on its body, turned into countless white snakes fleeing in all directions.

"Wait... this scent..."

Initially intending to exterminate all the fleeing white snakes under his feet, Yu suddenly detected a faint bitter scent permeating the air.

"Hahaha... You noticed so quickly, huh?"

Seeing that Yu seemed to detect the hidden threat in the air, the countless white snakes fleeing in all directions emitted Orochimaru's unique low, hoarse laughter. "The bodily fluid of the white-scaled serpent is a toxin that paralyzes nerves upon contact with air. You can't escape my grasp!"

"A toxin that paralyzes nerves..."

"Well, that's troublesome... I almost forgot about this move."

Seeing Orochimaru's true form of the white-scaled serpent shattered by himself, with its bodily fluids vaporizing in the air to form a toxin that paralyzes nerves, Yu, standing in mid-air, immediately focused his gaze.

With Haku and Kimimaro still nearby, although he could use Medical Ninjutsu after the battle to remove the toxin or have Tyrant help them detoxify, the venom of the white-scaled serpent would inevitably have some adverse effects on the body.

"Since that's the case..."

"Then, before the toxin spreads, I'll just eliminate all your white snake clones!"

After making up his mind, Yu, standing in mid-air, simply crooked his finger, and immediately, Toshogun in its Ice Devil form exploded out, unleashing its mighty freezing power in full force!

"Ice Age!!"

In the wide-eyed gazes of Haku and Kimimaro, as Toshogun, now Elementalized, descended from the sky, the Freezing Air that froze everything erupted and spread like a plague from its center.

The forest, the earth, the rivers, including the countless white snakes fleeing in all directions, everything before everyone's eyes was frozen and immobilized. The entire world seemed to revert to an ancient Ice Age, where all things in the world turned into lifelike ice sculptures.

"So... beautiful..."

Gazing blankly at the forest that instantly turned into a snowy landscape before him, Haku, standing on the icy ground beside it, couldn't help but emit a heartfelt low hum. Having already awakened his Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, he felt a deep affinity for such power from the bottom of his heart.

"At this level..."

"He should be pretty much dead by now, right?"

After manipulating Toshogun to freeze and immobilize all of Orochimaru's scattered white snake clones, Yu muttered softly to himself.

'Wait a moment... that's not right...'

Planning to leap down from mid-air after the battle, at this moment, a sudden warning from his Observation Haki made Yu's heart skip a beat.

Boom!!

The entire frozen forest suddenly trembled violently, countless ice sculptures instantly shattered.

Suddenly, from the ice-bound ground beneath Yu's feet, a massive white serpent emerged, one after another. In the blink of an eye, an immense eight-headed, eight-tailed white serpent appeared out of nowhere, crushing countless trees in the forest into powder.

It was Orochimaru's most powerful Ninjutsu — the Eight Branches Jutsu! The colossal white serpent, feared by the people of this world as the "Divine Dragon," was the embodiment of Orochimaru's long-standing obsession!

'Does it have to be this intense?'

Looking at the eight-headed serpent that appeared out of thin air, witnessing its colossal size almost larger than any tailed beast he had faced before, Yu couldn't believe that Orochimaru, who had been cornered by him could still resort to unleashing this ultimate Ninjutsu from his bag of tricks.

Meanwhile, Haku and Kimimaro, the two youngsters beside him, were so shocked by the sudden emergence of the colossal monster that they couldn't even speak.

"I never thought... it would come to this extent..."

"There's no other choice... I'll just use this jutsu, to entertain you, to show you my strongest Ninjutsu! Hahaha..."

From the massive serpent's center head, Orochimaru's true form suddenly emerged from its gaping mouth, laughing maniacally at Yu standing before it in mid-air. "This is my Eight Branches Jutsu! You're the first ones to witness it!"
