Chapter 153 - The White Snake Sage and the Eight Inner Gates

Huh?

What?

Orochimaru expressed confusion.

That seems to be the same kind of eyes as Pain...

The same eyes as the legendary Sage of Six Paths, the Rinnegan...

Why does Uchiha Lexon have the Rinnegan?

Orochimaru's brain suddenly short-circuited a little.

"Soul Absorption."

Lexon's gaze was cold, and his words were indifferent.

As his voice fell, he lifted the arm grabbing Orochimaru's head upwards.

An illusory purple figure resembling Orochimaru was pulled out of Orochimaru's body by Lexon.

What?!!

Orochimaru naturally noticed Lexon's actions and also noticed the figure being pulled out of him...

That is... my soul!!

Orochimaru realized this instantly, his face becoming somewhat horrified.

"What are you doing! Uchiha Lexon!"

Orochimaru felt his body gradually becoming somewhat empty and weak, without any ability to resist.

The expression on his face turned into shock and anger, just like the expression he showed in the original "Konoha Crush Plan" when Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to use his life to cast the "Dead Demon Consuming Seal" to seal his hands.

If the pupil genjutsu of the Sharingan was the second most taboo ninjutsu in Orochimaru's heart, then ninjutsu involving the soul was indisputably the first most taboo ninjutsu for him.

In the face of ninjutsu involving the soul, Orochimaru's greatest life-saving ninjutsu, "Living Corpse Reincarnation," was useless...

"I thought about it. Since you are unwilling to cooperate, this is the safest way." Lexon's movements did not stop, and soon he was about to completely strip away Orochimaru's soul.

In Lexon's view, an uncooperative Orochimaru was really useless and might hinder the "Chunin Exams" that would be held in the Hidden Leaf later.

Even if Orochimaru could vow that he would not hinder the "Chunin Exams," it was much more proper to let him die directly than to believe him.

"I... I will work for you! Complete your goals! Uchiha Lexon!" Orochimaru truly felt that he was about to die completely this time, so he uttered words similar to begging for mercy in panic.

He was unwilling to die just like this...

He still had many things left undone... hadn't destroyed the Hidden Leaf, haven't explored the truth of ninjutsu, haven't pursued that true eternity, the truth of the world... absolutely cannot die like this!

Although he thought so in his heart... under the control of the Rinnegan and Lexon, Orochimaru had no ability to resist at this moment.

The gap between Lexon's strength and Orochimaru's strength was too great.

Like an abyssal chasm.

Orochimaru was a backbone powerhouse at the Kage level in the Naruto world, and his survival ability was even a level higher.

But the gap between Super Kage level and Kage level strength was unimaginable, just like how the Super Kage level Uchiha Madara could beat the Five Kage of the ninja villages at their peak like children in the Fourth Great Ninja War.

There was an insurmountable gap.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" The smile on Lexon's face was very gentle, appearing sunny and handsome.

But Orochimaru's pale face became even paler.

Going to die... I didn't expect to die before the old man...

As if in a flashback before death, the figure of his master Sarutobi Hiruzen appeared in his mind.

It really makes one unwilling.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

"Hiss..."

A piercing hiss came.

A fierce hurricane raided. It was that huge crimson one-eyed snake that had crushed the three Rashomon gates and rushed over! With incredibly astonishing power!

Every inch of its scales was wrapped in Senjutsu chakra, emitting a strange brilliance.

The ferocious snake head opened its mouth, which was faintly hanging with minced meat, biting towards Orochimaru and Lexon.

Can be saved!

Seeing this sudden change, Orochimaru's dim eyes regained their luster.

As long as I don't die under Uchiha Lexon's soul ninjutsu, any other way of dying is fine!

"Really..." Lexon's tone was somewhat impatient. He raised his other arm, and the Rinnegan's gaze fell on Garaga's snake head.

"Almighty Push."

Suddenly, an invisible force spread and swept outwards with Lexon as the center.

Garaga's snake head, which was rushing fiercely, suddenly stagnated, seemingly hitting an invisible wall.

Immediately afterwards, the entire one-eyed serpent was like an ordinary person hit by a large truck. Its huge body flew backward violently and smashed into the cave wall of Ryuchi Cave with a "bang," causing the entire Ryuchi Cave to tremble.

The great snake, with blood seeping from its scales, slowly slid down from the cave wall. Its body was limp and no longer moved, its life or death unknown.

Orochimaru was dumbfounded.

The only hope was extinguished just like that...

He fell into boundless darkness.

"Ah... Garaga was beaten like this..." A somewhat aged voice suddenly echoed within the cave walls.

Lexon suddenly looked towards the source of the voice.

Then he saw a short old woman in a long white shirt standing beside the motionless great snake...

Who is this...

Doubtful thoughts appeared in Lexon's mind.

"Can you let Orochimaru go? Little brat... he has a great use for the outside world..."

In the next instant, Lexon found that the aged voice appeared not far from him.

Lexon turned his head again and looked at the old woman who suddenly appeared there.

At this moment, the old woman's eyes were slightly open, her creepy small pupils staring at him.

When...

Lexon was a little surprised.

Obviously, under the investigation of the Rinnegan and his own perception, the other party was just an ordinary person without chakra fluctuations.

Ah, no...

In this Naruto world, everyone should have the life energy of chakra, it's just that ninjas develop chakra into ninjutsu.

But this old woman has absolutely no aura of chakra on her.

Hidden it...

Then... hidden chakra plus terrifying speed that couldn't be detected, and the strange ability to appear here... as well as the danger signals constantly coming from [Instinct]...

The White Snake Sage?

Lexon quickly concluded the identity of the person in front of him.

Now my base state boost is at the peak of Super Kage level. If [Instinct] sends danger signals, it means the opponent's strength is far above my current strength.

It seems... the White Snake Sage's strength can reach the upper limit I expected...

Six Paths level.

But it is true, the Great Toad Sage in Mount Myoboku, another one of the Three Great Sage Regions, was a creature that taught the Sage of Six Paths techniques, so its strength is certainly at the Six Paths level.

Logically speaking, the White Snake Sage should also be at the Six Paths level.

A bit too strong...

Lexon's thoughts surged incessantly in an instant, but on the surface, he still looked expressionlessly at the White Snake Sage.

"Is that okay? Little brat." A trace of a smile appeared on the White Snake Sage's loose face.

"No." A faint smile also appeared at the corner of Lexon's mouth. with a shake of his hand, Orochimaru's entire soul was pulled out.

He let go.

Immediately, the soul dissipated, its whereabouts unknown.

Orochimaru's tense face instantly returned to silence, and his body became as soft as noodles, sliding to the ground.

Orochimaru had thoroughly become a dead snake.

Seeing this, the smile on the White Snake Sage's face stiffened.

"Little brat, do you not take me seriously?" The tone in the White Snake Sage's words was no different from before, only its eyes narrowed even more, faintly revealing a sharp brilliance.

"Yeah." Lexon nodded without thinking, the smile at the corner of his mouth turning further up.

"Then go die, little brat." The White Snake Sage's aged and indifferent voice came from far to near. The moment it was heard, its body was already within reach of Lexon, and its withered arm had touched the skin of Lexon's neck.
