Naruto: Creating Immortal Techniques at Six, Shocking Uncle Snake

Chapter 11: Orochimaru vs Pain of the Six Paths

"Let's begin, Sasori!"

Pain's expression grew stern as he spoke coldly.

"I've been waiting for this!"

Sasori immediately brought out the Third Kazekage puppet.

"The Third Kazekage actually fell to your hands!" Orochimaru's expression turned grave.

He had experienced the terror of the Third Kazekage firsthand—it was extremely troublesome!

"Die!"

Whoosh—

Sasori unleashed the full power of his Magnet Release.

A massive amount of iron sand gathered in the air and then erupted like a hedgehog.

Swish, swish, swish!

Countless sharp iron spears rained down on Orochimaru.

"Damn it!"

Orochimaru was caught off guard.

Boom, boom, boom!

The heavy iron spears struck the ground with explosive force.

The earth shook violently, and dust flew everywhere.

"It's over!" Sasori declared confidently.

With the sudden attack, Orochimaru couldn't have dodged the iron sand.

Pain remained silent, waiting for the dust to settle.

When the dust cleared, Orochimaru was lying motionless on the ground.

Then, the figure of Orochimaru on the ground lifted his head, his mouth split open, and a second Orochimaru emerged from inside!

"He's still alive?!" Sasori was astonished.

Pain, however, was not surprised. After all, the Sannin were known for their extraordinary strength. If they could be taken down so easily, they wouldn't be considered Sannin.

"But next time, I won't let you survive!" Sasori said angrily, controlling the Third Kazekage puppet to launch another attack with the iron sand.

"I didn't want to use this technique," Orochimaru said calmly. "But since the enemy includes the Third Kazekage and the Rinnegan, let me show you a technique developed by my disciple!"

Sasori and Pain looked surprised.

"Cursed Mark, activate!"

Black markings began to spread across Orochimaru's body.

His pale skin turned brown.

"What is this strange technique?" Sasori sneered.

However, Pain's expression grew serious as he sensed something was amiss.

"Strange technique?"

Orochimaru tilted his head and smiled. "I hope you'll still be this calm after this."

"Sage Art: Lightning Instantaneous Body, activate!!!"

Boom!!!

With Orochimaru's roar, a terrifying amount of chakra erupted from him.

Gray and brilliant lightning coiled around his body, and silver snakes danced wildly!

Sasori's heart skipped a beat.

"Damn it!!"

He felt a strong sense of danger from Orochimaru!

Under the effect of the Cursed Mark, Orochimaru's demeanor had become much more violent and arrogant.

He looked at Sasori with a disdainful gaze.

"Don't be scared!"

"What?! I'm going to kill you!! Snake Monster!"

Sasori's anger flared at Orochimaru's contemptuous look.

But the next moment!

Crack!!!

Lightning flashed!

Boom!!!

Sasori felt a tremendous force, causing his vision to spin!

He saw his puppet form exploding into pieces.

"Damn, what's happening?"

Sasori was horrified.

He didn't understand how he had been attacked without even seeing it coming!

"So fast!!"

Pain, standing behind Sasori, was shocked.

Reacting with incredible speed, he used his technique.

"Shinra Tensei!!!"

Boom!!!

A terrifying repulsive force surged out in all directions.

Orochimaru, rushing at high speed, was hit by this overwhelming force and was instantly sent flying.

"What is this ability?!"

Orochimaru's expression turned serious as he stopped in place.

Pain also looked grave.

The sudden speed had surprised him; if he hadn't reacted in time, he might have been hit.

"Orochimaru, it seems everyone has underestimated you!"

Orochimaru sneered. "Since you understand, then hand over the Rinnegan obediently!"

This was his first time using the Lightning Instantaneous Body technique in combat. The terrifying speed gave him full confidence!

Except for the Fourth Raikage and Minato Namikaze, no one could keep up with his speed—even the Rinnegan couldn't!

So, the Rinnegan was his!

Whoosh!!!

In an instant, Orochimaru vanished from his location again.

"Shinra Tensei!"

Pain's expression turned cold. He sensed Orochimaru's covetousness for the Rinnegan!

Killing intent surged within him!

He quickly raised the black rod formed by the Yin-Yang Release, and the gravitational force from all directions began to tear at Orochimaru.

Buzz—

Orochimaru's face changed drastically as he was uncontrollably pulled toward Pain at breakneck speed. The distance was so short that he couldn't control it or make any other adjustments in time.

He had to rely on his enhanced physical condition from the Cursed Mark and Lightning Release to react quickly.

He struck the black rod with his hand.

He barely brushed past Pain and crashed into the depths of the forest with a loud boom.

"Die!!"

At that moment, the shattered puppet reassembled into Sasori's form, who roared angrily.

A massive amount of iron sand poured down from the sky like a torrential rain, completely covering the area where Orochimaru had been!

Swish!

Orochimaru's figure appeared in the distance, completely ignoring Sasori and focusing intently on Pain.

"Pull and repel, is that the special ability of the Rinnegan?"

"And the black rod in his hand gives me a bad feeling!"

A single collision made him understand the troublesome nature of the Rinnegan.

But it wasn't without a solution.

A glint of determination flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.

Somewhere on a hidden high ground not far from the battlefield, Nagato also felt the trouble.

"The Six Paths of Pain are not suited to combat against such high-speed ninja. It seems I'll need to use another ability today!"

On the battlefield, Orochimaru glanced at the restored Sasori, feeling somewhat troubled.

If it were just Pain, he had a way to handle him. But with the addition of the Third Kazekage's Magnet Release, it was more difficult.

Moreover, he was eager to witness the birth of the Sage Art.

"Forget it. I've already seen your strength. I need to go see my disciple. Let's end it here for today!"

With that, he turned and left.

Pain and Sasori hesitated for a moment but did not pursue. After all, Orochimaru's speed made it too difficult to keep him from escaping.

Sasori was furious. "How did Orochimaru's strength increase so much?!"

Zetsu from below spoke quietly, "Didn't he say earlier that it was a technique created by his disciple?"

"When did Orochimaru have such a powerful disciple? I'd like to see it with my own eyes!"

Sasori's killing intent surged.

Zetsu continued, "We've found several of Orochimaru's bases and detected Konoha ninjas nearby. Should we inform them?"

Pain replied indifferently, "It's up to you."

Zetsu said, "Then I'll go watch the show."

Pain looked at Sasori. "Since Orochimaru wasn't successfully recruited, we'll continue searching for the next target."
