Chapter 433 Angry
Chapter 433 Angry
Orochimaru's long, narrow, and cold eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of cunning flashing within them. He saw through the masked man's every move with perfect clarity, as if he had everything under control. After all, he had witnessed the entire breathtaking and intense battle between the masked man and the angel Konan.
During that fierce battle, Orochimaru memorized every move the masked man made, especially his mysterious and unpredictable Space Sharingan ninjutsu. After repeated research and analysis, he gained a deep understanding of the man and developed countermeasures.
The instant the masked man moved, Orochimaru's lips curled into a contemptuous smile. Without using any ninjutsu, he simply channeled energy into the power of the earth element, and suddenly countless incredibly sharp earth spears appeared out of thin air around his body! These earth spears, like the fangs of demons emerging from the depths of hell, whistled towards the masked man with fierce momentum and powerful attack force.
In an instant, the entire space was covered by these densely packed earthen spears, forming an impenetrable net of attack. Whether the masked man tried to advance, retreat, or dodge left or right, it seemed impossible for him to escape the blockade of these earthen spears.
At that critical moment, an overwhelming attack swept towards the masked man! This terrifying offensive was like an impenetrable net, firmly enveloping the masked man, leaving him with no space to hide.
However, the masked man did not give up. He narrowed his single eye, and a powerful surge of chakra erupted from his body. Immediately afterward, he unhesitatingly used the mysterious and unpredictable Kamui technique again, attempting to transfer his body to a private space known only to him, in order to avoid the fatal blow.
At the same time, the hand that was originally preventing Orochimaru from taking Nagato's Rinnegan experienced a brief imbalance in power due to the masked man's distraction in using Kamui. As a result, the hand, as if out of control, passed straight through Orochimaru's body, failing to complete its attack.
Orochimaru's fingers moved nimbly, like a nimble snake, showing no sign of stopping. His long, sharp eyes seemed to see through everything, and he was fully aware of the ninjutsu being used by the masked man.
At that moment, Orochimaru launched a series of dense and fierce attacks, wave after wave of energy surging towards the masked man like a tidal wave. However, the masked man did not panic. He calmly relied on the spatial abilities of his mysterious and powerful Sharingan to skillfully evade these deadly attacks time and time again.
Nevertheless, Orochimaru knew very well that this evasion was only temporary. Because while the masked man was focused on dodging attacks, he would inevitably be unable to concentrate on effectively stopping Orochimaru's actions. Therefore, Orochimaru firmly believed that as long as he continued to apply pressure, the Rinnegan would surely become his prize.
As expected, the masked man grew increasingly agitated, yet there was nothing he could do to stop himself, which undoubtedly proved Orochimaru's judgment to be correct. At this moment, Orochimaru's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a barely perceptible smile. He knew that the Rinnegan was already his for the taking.
After Orochimaru successfully removed the coveted Rinnegan from Nagato's eye socket, his cold and greedy gaze quickly shifted to Nagato's other eye socket. At this moment, time was of the essence for Orochimaru, as he knew he had to race against time to complete the collection of these Rinnegan eyes and then leave this dangerous place as quickly as possible.
In this place fraught with unknowns and uncertainties, no one can accurately predict when the mysterious figure lurking behind the scenes will suddenly reveal themselves. If the figure discovers their presence and arrives to stop them, not only will Orochimaru's meticulously planned operation fail, and all his efforts rendered futile, but worse, his own life will likely be in grave danger. Thinking of this, Orochimaru quickened his pace, a fine layer of sweat beading on his forehead, but his eyes remained unwavering and focused, as if he could already see the infinite possibilities that came with possessing the Rinnegan.
However, just as Orochimaru's long, cold fingers were about to reach for Nagato's other eye, something unexpected happened! A figure as black as ink, like a ghost, suddenly emerged from beneath Nagato's seemingly lifeless body. This shadow moved with incredible speed, like lightning streaking across the night sky, leaving no time to react.
The dark shadow swept past in an instant, bringing with it a sharp gust of wind that swept up Nagato's other eye along with the surrounding flesh and blood. Orochimaru's hand missed its target, and he could only watch helplessly as his long-awaited target was snatched away by this sudden dark shadow.
The shadowy figure appeared so abruptly, as if it had been lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Now, it had finally succeeded in stealing Nagato's eyes, leaving Orochimaru only with shock and resentment.
"Damn it!" Orochimaru's pale and twisted face instantly turned ferocious. He could no longer suppress his anger and resentment and cursed out loud.
His narrow, cold eyes were fixed on the mysterious figure ahead, his heart filled with disbelief. He had thought everything was under control, that the precious, coveted fruit was about to be his. However, at that critical moment, this strange and unimaginably powerful figure suddenly appeared, like a ghost, and ruthlessly snatched away the victory that was almost within his grasp.
What shocked and terrified Orochimaru even more was that his unparalleled and rarely matched soul power was utterly useless against this person. He hadn't sensed the other's approach at all, nor could he detect even the slightest trace of their movements. For Orochimaru, who always held himself in high esteem and had absolute confidence in his own strength, this was an unprecedented humiliation and defeat.
It's important to understand that Orochimaru's soul power has always been virtually invincible. No matter how concealed the aura or how sophisticated the genjutsu, nothing can escape his soul power's detection. But now, facing this figure shrouded in a dense layer of darkness from head to toe, his prized ability has completely failed him, as if he's encountered an insurmountable chasm. This feeling fills Orochimaru with both shock and anger, and at the same time, a deep sense of dread involuntarily wells up within him.
However, Orochimaru wouldn't stand idly by and let that mysterious and peculiar figure easily steal the fruits of his victory. With a flash, he dashed out like lightning, giving chase to the black-clad figure. At the same time, the previously calm ground suddenly trembled violently, followed by countless sharp spikes rising from the earth, densely packed together, forming an insurmountable barrier, attempting to stop the opponent's escape. These spikes, like ferocious fangs, gleamed with a chilling light, as if ready to tear any enemy who dared approach to shreds.
The black figure moved through the night with incredible speed, like a ghost. Suddenly, without warning, sharp spikes erupted from the ground! These spikes, like claws from hell, mercilessly blocked the black figure's path.
The black-clad figure came to an abrupt stop, his body trembling slightly, clearly caught off guard by the sudden spikes. He had originally planned to escape quickly under the cover of night, but now he had to change his strategy.
He suddenly turned around, his eyes blazing, and sprinted towards the masked man not far away. His steps were rapid and powerful, each one kicking up a cloud of dust. At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to reunite with the masked man as quickly as possible! He knew that only by relying on the mysterious spatial ninjutsu mastered by the masked man could he ensure his own safety.
The masked man's eyes, hidden in the shadows, keenly observed everything happening around him. He moved like a ghost, rapidly approaching the scene of the incident. Keep in mind, standing before him was Orochimaru—a top-tier ninja renowned throughout the ninja world! For the masked man, retrieving even a single Rinnegan from such a powerful opponent would be a remarkable achievement.
However, things did not go as the masked man had anticipated. Orochimaru's previously calm face instantly turned incredibly grim, and the anger in his heart exploded like a powder keg. Clearly, he was completely enraged by the situation before him. He might have previously refrained from spending too much time killing the masked man for various reasons, but now, that thought had completely changed.
Orochimaru gritted his teeth, secretly resolving to eliminate this arrogant masked man with the fastest speed and the most ruthless methods, even if it meant offending the mastermind behind it all. He wanted everyone to know the terrible consequences of angering Orochimaru!
The energy within the golden core suddenly erupted, and countless hurricanes rapidly converged in all directions, forming numerous wind barriers that enveloped the entire graveyard. The invisible hurricanes then split into countless wind blades, directly slicing through everything around them, even making space itself extremely unstable, leaving the masked man no chance to escape using his rudimentary spatial manipulation skills.
