Such an incomparably huge monster had far exceeded the limits of the few imps' imagination. While they were shocked, their bodies instinctively trembled!
Haku asked in a trembling voice, "What … what is that?"
Even Yamato, the oldest among them, couldn't answer Haku's question. This question confused him and made him feel at a loss.
Jugo stared at the eight-headed snake in the distance and said with uncertainty, "I can feel the presence of Orochi Maru -sama from that monster."
"What!?"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise when they heard this.
Jugo carefully sensed and confirmed, "There is indeed a bit of Orochi Maru -sama's presence."
Jugo's Perception wasn't the Perception Ninjutsu of perception-type ninjas. It was a more primitive Perception that was closer to nature. Therefore, his Perception wasn't based on Chakra's attribute, but on the presence of nature.
Kimimaro couldn't believe it and said, "Is that Orochi Maru -sama?"
Yamato stood up and said, "Whether that is Orochi Maru -sama or not, I believe that Orochi Maru -sama won't be defeated. However, we should retreat further."
…
On the battlefield.
Hyōjin raised his head and looked at the enormous eight-headed snake. His face darkened.
Obviously, this was one of Orochi Maru's strongest forbidden techniques, the "Yamata no Jutsu". It was a forbidden technique that could rival the tailed beast.
In the original world, Orochi Maru had used this technique against Itachi, but it was easily defeated by Itachi's "Jutsu Jutsu". His whole body was even sucked into the sealed world of the "Jutsu Jutsu".
However, this didn't mean that the "Yamata no Jutsu" was weak.
After all, Nagato, who was almost at his peak strength in the "Edo Tensei" state, could easily crush Naruto and Chilabi, who were both perfect Jinchuriki. However, he still couldn't resist the seal of the "Jutsu Jutsu".
"Huu …"
After letting out a light breath, Hyōjin slowly raised his hand and began to form a seal.
Since he can't use the 'Tenseigan Chakra Mode' to deal with Orochi Maru, then he can only use the power of the Dragon Vein. Therefore, he converged all divergent thoughts and abandoned all thoughts that had nothing to do with fighting.
As the seals were completed, he shouted in a low voice, "Dragon Vein Seal, release!"
In a split second, the Dragon Vein Chakra gushed out of his body. The thick Chakra transformed into a purplish-green dragon that hovered above his head.
One of the eight-headed serpent's head opened its mouth, revealing half of Orochi Maru's body.
At this time, Orochi Maru looked wet, and his body was wrapped in sticky mucus, like a newborn baby. He looked at Hyōjin, who had opened the seal of the Dragon Vein, licked his lips with his slender tongue, and said in a playful tone, "Tsk tsk, is this the Dragon Vein Chakra? It's really fascinating!"
Hyōjin's expression gradually calmed down. He watched Orochi Maru vigilantly while monitoring the Dragon Vein in his body.
The biggest flaw of the artificial tailed beast was its instability. Even the second-generation leader Naruto couldn't solve this problem, so the village sealed the artificial tailed beast plan.
Therefore, after Hyōjin became the Dragon Vein's Jinchuriki, he has been using the Dragon Vein in his body as a 'battery' and has never directly driven the Dragon Vein to fight.
First, it was to cover up the Dragon Vein.
Second, it was to prevent the Dragon Vein from going berserk.
At this point, if Hyōjin didn't use the power of the Dragon Vein, Orochi Maru would be even more suspicious.
As more and more Dragon Vein Chakra gushed out of Hyōjin's body, the purple dragon above Hyōjin's head quickly expanded.
Gradually, the size of the purple dragon was comparable to the size of Orochi. Under the wrapping of the Dragon Vein Chakra, Hyōjin's body slowly floated in the air.
Driving the Dragon Vein is similar to driving the tailed beast to fight.
Hyōjin doesn't need to absorb the Dragon Vein Chakra into his body to use ninjutsu, he only needs to order the Dragon Vein to fight on its own.
So no matter how many Dragon Vein Chakra erupts, he doesn't have to worry about his body being attacked by the natural energy. The only thing he needs to pay attention to is to make sure that the Dragon Vein doesn't go berserk.
So, the two behemoths confronted each other from afar.
Every time the purple dragon grew bigger, Orochi Maru's expression became more serious.
When the purple dragon was about the same size as Orochi, Orochi Maru's face was no longer playful. Instead, it was replaced by a look of fear!
Orochi Maru said coldly, "Kuroto, let me have a taste of your artificial tailed beast!"
After saying that, the eight snakeheads of Orochi rushed towards Hyōjin's purple dragon like a heavy hammer!
Whoosh …
The eight snakeheads, which were the size of a hill, attacked quickly and violently. Just the wind alone was comparable to several Grade-A Wind Release ninjutsu. So, accompanied by the attack of Orochi, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the forest.
The wind was so strong that it uprooted a large number of trees!
While floating in the air with the help of the Ryuumyaku Chakra, Suijin's pupils shrank slightly, and his face sank as he channeled the Ryuumyaku Chakra to meet Yamata no Orochi head on!
In an instant, the white body of Yamata no Orochi and the cyan-purple Chakra Dragon were entangled together.
This was a real battle between the two monsters. The momentum was far greater than the previous raging of the Thousand Snakes in the forest. With just a few rolls, a large area of the forest was razed to the ground.
Orochi entangled the purple dragon like an octopus. The eight snakeheads bit the body of the purple dragon, and the purple dragon tore off one of the snakeheads!
Puff …
The snakehead immediately spat out a huge amount of blood, like blood rain, splashing into the forest!
However, after a while, the snakehead that was torn off by the purple dragon grew again. At first glance, it was almost no different from before. If it wasn't for the strong smell of blood in the air, the scene of the severed head just now would have seemed like an illusion.
Orochi Maru smiled and said, "Kuroto, why don't you use the real body? You should have created the body of the artificial tailed beast!"
Hyōjin did not answer and urged the Dragon Vein with a sullen face.
At the beginning of the design, Hyōjin did not expect to use the Dragon Vein in battle. So, when it was shaped, the appearance of the Dragon Vein was slightly funny. This was also one of the reasons why he was reluctant to use the real body of the Dragon Vein in battle.
However, the more important reason was that he did not want to damage the purple clay body of the Dragon Vein in battle, causing the Dragon Vein to go berserk.
