Naruto: Releasing Chakra Limits at the Start

Chapter 293 Reunion with Orochimaru

Right after Honglian finished speaking, Yeyu disappeared from the spot.

Feeling no movement behind her, Honglian turned around and looked at the now empty place. Her gaze was complicated. "That bastard, why did I run into him?"

As she spoke, Honglian held the kunai that Yeyu had given her in both hands and looked into the distance.

"You must come back safely."

Yukimaru, who was standing to the side, looked up at Guren and asked, "Guren-nee, do you like him?"

Honglian was stunned for a moment, then blushed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yukimaru lowered his head and said, "I can tell that you, Guren-nee, definitely like him."

"He is the person Sister Honglian needs."

Honglian hesitated for a moment, then reached out and ruffled Youguimaru's golden hair, smiling slightly. "He doesn't need me, but perhaps I do need him."

Honglian no longer tried to hide it.

Yoru, who had left Guren's side, appeared in the large crater created by the Tailed Beast Ball.

He watched as Kabuto struggled to his feet from the mud.

Ye Yu stood not far from him.

Kabuto's glasses are shattered.

Struggling to his feet, Kabuto muttered to himself, "That beast is just as detestable as his master."

"That's not very polite."

Ye Yu's voice came through.

Upon hearing this voice, Yakushi turned to look in Yoru's direction.

Upon seeing Ye Yu, he first frowned, as he didn't recognize him.

But soon, he saw Ye Yu's attire, and the face between his brows overlapped with the face that had appeared countless times in his memory.

Kabuto immediately tensed up.

"You, you're that guy."

“I guessed right, wherever the Three-Tails is, you must be nearby.”

Yoru looked at Kabuto Yakushi and smiled, "You guessed pretty accurately."

Yoru only spent this month with the Three-Tails.

In the past three years, this month was the only time he spent with the Three-Tails.

Kabuto Yakushi tensed up, "It was you who made the Three-Tails turn into that state, wasn't it?"

Kabuto Yakushi speculated that the reason the Three-Tails became so powerful was because of this.

After all, only he possesses such bizarre ninjutsu.

As Yoru's summoned beast, the Three-Tailed Beast must have been modified by Yoru.

Yoru's lips curled slightly. "I didn't expect that Orochimaru wouldn't have been killed by me."

Yoru's words stung Kabuto.

It reminded him of the humiliation he suffered three years ago.

"How could you possibly kill Lord Orochimaru? Lord Orochimaru is not someone a brat like you can understand."

However, when he said this, Kabuto Yakushi looked nervous.

Three years had passed since they last met, and he had no idea how Ye Yu had changed or how strong he had become.

Even if Ye Yu were to simply stand still, his strength three years ago would still be far superior to his current level.

"Yoyu, coming to the Land of Water was a mistake. This is not Konoha. I can gather a large number of ninjas here and kill you."

"Yakushi Kabuto shouted loudly."

However, he looked so crazy that he seemed to lack confidence.

Yoru smiled. "I know, but I didn't expect Orochimaru to be with you, nor did I expect him to be able to retract his arm."

Yoru's words startled Kabuto Yakushi.

Just as Yakushi Kabuto was in a daze, a clod of earth slowly rose from the ground.

After the clod of earth rose up, it transformed into the shape of Orochimaru.

"Hehehe, Orochimaru, long time no see. It seems you don't really trust this guy."

Kabuto shuddered as he looked at Orochimaru who appeared beside him.

He had no idea that Orochimaru had followed him here.

Orochimaru didn't look at him, but at Yoru, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Yoru-kun, it's been three years, you've grown a lot."

Ye Yu smiled and said, "Yes, it's been three years after all, and I'm 16 now."

These words made Orochimaru somewhat embarrassed.

Ye Yu was only 16 years old, yet he already showed no signs of being very powerful, and even killed him once when he was 13.

Orochimaru looked at the lake and said, "Yoyu-kun, what methods did you use to increase the Three-Tails' strength so much? Is it related to Sage Mode?"

This is what Orochimaru cares about most.

He had been watching the battle from the sidelines the whole time. Having studied immortal techniques for so long, he was naturally very sensitive to them.

He was certain that the ninjutsu used by the Three-Tails just now contained traces of Sage Chakra.

Yoru nodded, not hiding anything. "It seems you've done a lot of research. The Three-Tails does indeed use Sage Chakra. How about that? And it's even an improvement on your cursed seal. It's really thanks to the cursed seal you left on Sasuke."

Orochimaru paused for a moment, his gaze narrowing slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

He quickly looked up at Ye Yu and said, "It seems I underestimated you. You've improved the curse seal. Could you tell me how you did it?"

Yoru smiled and said casually, "I really can't. Although that technique isn't mysterious to me, it's still Konoha's property and Sasuke's trump card. I'm sorry, I really can't tell you."

"Haha, Yoru-kun, you are indeed very interesting. But I really want to know, I haven't made no progress in these three years either."

"I think you'll tell me yourself in a little while."

"Oh? I'd like to know how much progress you've made in these three years. As one of the Legendary Sannin, you should be the one who has consistently improved among the three."

Orochimaru's gaze narrowed slightly.

He raised his hands.

His hands are healed.

Orochimaru could have used the Reincarnation Technique to replace his body and regain his hands.

However, it takes a period of time to reincarnate.

For the past three years, Orochimaru has been searching for a suitable reincarnation.

While studying the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, he discovered records of the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques.

They found the ruins of the Uzumaki clan in the Land of Whirlpools and successfully discovered a way to break the Corpse Demon Seal.

So now Orochimaru has taken his hands back from the Grim Reaper.

However, after recovering, Orochimaru used ninjutsu for the first time.

His hands moved swiftly, forming the "Ten Thousand Serpents Formation".

With his first ninjutsu, Orochimaru released countless venomous snakes.

Thousands upon thousands of venomous snakes were summoned by Orochimaru, and these snakes slithered rapidly toward Yoru.

Yoru shook his head. "It's that ninjutsu again. I saw it once three years ago."

Three years ago, when Yoru helped Sasuke remove Orochimaru's soul imprint from Sasuke's cursed seal, the resurrected Orochimaru used it once.

He watched as countless venomous snakes swarmed towards him.

Yoru also raised his hands.

With hands moving swiftly, he formed hand seals: "Water Release: Thousand Rains"

After Ye Yu casually formed a few hand seals, a water curtain appeared above the venomous snake formation.

In an instant, countless raindrops shot out from these water curtains, and these raindrops moved at extremely high speeds.

"Puff puff"

"Boom!"

A torrential downpour, a thousand raindrops falling from the sky.

In the blink of an eye, all the venomous snakes summoned by Orochimaru were pinned to the ground, leaving corpses strewn everywhere and rivers of blood flowing.

None of the countless venomous snakes survived; they all turned into corpses.

It happened in just a split second, and the precision was astonishing.
