Chapter 254 Growth

  Under the sky, the top of the pillar.

  Nagato looked down at Orochimaru who was quickly approaching him, without any expression on his face.

  Being stuck on the wooden bed for a long time made him lose his basic expression ability, and his facial muscles have long been paralyzed.

  But a pair of reincarnation eyes are shining with a strange purple awn at this time, and the pupils are so powerful that they are about to come out.

   Now he was forced into a predicament and was about to give the enemy a fatal blow. He was both angry and excited, and his pupils shrank like pinholes.

  But what makes Nagato very annoying is that even now, Orochimaru still looks the same as before.

  He, still laughing?

   "Earth Explosion Star!"

  Hands together, Nagato used the supreme sealing technique of Samsara Eye with all his strength, determined to seal Orochimaru into the stone ball, to see if he could maintain this hateful attitude.

  Following the fusion of yin and yang chakras, a black singularity flew from Nagato's palm to the sky, bursting out with a strong suction force instantly.

   Orochimaru jumped towards Nagato's body, even if he was pulled over, there was no resistance at all.

  The stone pillars reaching the sky broke into huge boulders in an instant, mixed with the soil torn from the ground, and buried the huge body of Orochimaru little by little.

   "This time, I won't give you a chance to do anything."

  Nagato injects pupil power into the black singularity, and the reincarnation eyes stare at Orochimaru, always paying attention to his movements.

  But Orochimaru seems to be at the end of his rope, no longer able to struggle, and can only let the soil bury it.

  Outside the cave, Obito looked up at this scene, feeling very happy in his heart.

   But at this moment, Orochimaru was like a terracotta figurine, the paint on his body kept fading, and he turned into a clay statue in the blink of an eye.

   "Earth avatar?"

  Nagato froze in place, his face twitching uncontrollably.

  Earth Explosive Star lost the control of the caster, and the speed of expansion stagnated slightly, but the remaining power remained, and it was still operating according to the established pattern.

  However, success or failure is meaningless, because what it seals is not the main body of Orochimaru.

   "Oshemaru..." Nagato repeated these three words, his high mood quickly cooled down, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

   It is indeed the most survivable ninja among the Konoha Sannin, and it really is not so easy to kill.

   On the ground, Obito also noticed this change, his eyes narrowed slightly, his thoughts ran rapidly, and he suddenly reacted.

  In terms of combat power, without the psychic beast of Ryuji Cave as an assistant, Orochimaru is not Nagato's opponent, and is in Taki Ninja Village. Under the away game, there will be no ninja from Konoha to come to support.

  The situation is like this, the only choice is to escape.

   But there is a theory about how to escape the best chance.

  First, point out the real body of Nagato, and take advantage of the opening in his mind, sneak into the depths of the ground, and then break through the barriers, approaching with an indomitable momentum.

  Nagato will of course panic. Even Obito himself has to admit that he has a deep fear of Oshemaru, and he will naturally worry that the other party will have a backhand to carry out the beheading action.

   Never expected that this series of actions were all a disguise.

  With the earth as a cover, there are too many small movements that can be performed.

   Obito suddenly remembered the fourth generation of Hokage. These ninjas of the previous generation, who had experienced many battles, were indeed not easy to mess with.

   While thinking about it, Nagato has slowly fallen from the sky, just looking at his face, he regained his composure.

   "Do you want to continue hunting down Orochimaru? With Bai Jue's help, there may be a chance to find him."

   Obito said so, but he didn't have any hope in his heart, not to mention how long it would take to bring back Bai Jue who was scattered in the ninja world, and it was not easy to find people tens of meters underground within a radius of a hundred miles.

   What's more, this guy is not standing still.

  Nagato waved his hand, "No need, I don't have the ability to fight him again now."

   After a series of actions, he consumed a lot, especially the last "Earth Explosion Star", which consumed nearly the sum of the previous pupil power.

  Under this situation, Nagato is unwilling to fight against Orochimaru again. Now he has a little understanding, and he can't fight against the wind for the time being.

  Obito didn’t expect Chang Mo to give up so decisively, he was slightly taken aback, and said, “You don’t have to be discouraged, after all, Orochimaru is one of the strongest ninjas, and it’s only natural to be able to do this…”

   "Who said I was discouraged?"

  Nagato glanced at Obito, and said slowly, "I know Orochimaru is difficult to deal with, but even so, he can only run away in front of me this time."

   "Next time... I won't give Orochimaru another chance."

  After developing the ability of reincarnation eyes, the battles Nagato experienced can only be described as crushing, even Hanzo, known as the "ninja demigod", is nothing more than a single enemy.

   It's been a long time since he's... grown up.

   And Orochimaru, without a doubt, is a ninja who can be called an opponent.

  He is rough-skinned and thick-skinned. He is a super-standard ninja. He cannot be easily defeated by simply throwing a few ninjutsu.

  Nagato has deeply realized this reality.

   "...Then I congratulate you in advance on your next success."

   Obito looked at the back of Nagato flying towards the cave, with red eyes shining.

   Contrary to what he thought, this failure not only did not dampen Nagato's confidence, but instead allowed him to grow.

   Tsk, I seem to have underestimated Nagato all this time.

  I thought it was just a child who was lucky enough to get the eyes of reincarnation. If he experienced a few more failures...it would be difficult.

  Obito's expression changed for a while, and he said, "Je, mobilize Bai Zee and start searching for the whereabouts of Orochimaru."

   "Yes!" The two leaves of the pitcher plant closed and sank into the ground. Through the remaining network of sacred trees, it began to send messages in all directions.

  Nagato's figure froze slightly, stopping in mid-air.

   Obito looked at Nagato's back, and said slowly, "I gave up, but I will try. After such a long battle, Orochimaru's condition is definitely not good."

  Whether it is to solve the powerful enemy Orochimaru, or to erase the catalyst that can stimulate the growth of Nagato, some loss of time and energy is worth it.

   "Hmph, you won't get rid of him." Nagato flew forward without looking back, and said contemptuously, "It will only be futile if you do this."

   As he spoke, he disappeared into the cave.

   "... Tsk, my arrogant temperament still hasn't changed." Obito withdrew his gaze, turned to the land in front of him,

   "It's all in vain..."

  …

   At a position thousands of meters deep underground, Orochimaru did not flee in a hurry, but used the upper layer of camouflage to sneak deeper.

   Obito's speculation is right, he is in a very bad state now, his body is tens of meters tall, and now he is just an empty frame.

  Although it swallowed a large amount of the remains of the holy tree and barely filled part of it, after this battle, seven or eighty eight have been consumed.

  He is very hungry now and urgently needs supplementary nutrition.
