Chapter 449 - Chapter 358: The Akatsuki Leader Arrives (Part 2)

The Truth-Seeking Ball suddenly flew towards Jiraiya, and Orochimaru wanted to use his friend's life to test the power of the Truth-Seeking Ball!

A golden Chakra giant hand suddenly reached out, pulling Jiraiya's body away. It was Uzumaki Naruto who urgently rescued his teacher!

"Seventh Gate... Wonder Gate·Open! Hirudora!"

Blue Chakra suddenly exploded from Rock Lee's body, and he raised his hand to unleash a focused punch towards Orochimaru, forming an air bullet in his hand!

"Good job, Lee! Seventh Gate·Wonder Gate·Open! Hirudora!"

Chakra burst from Might Guy's body as well, punching towards Orochimaru, an air bullet taking shape in his hand!

Two white tigers fiercely bit towards Orochimaru!

The shockwave from the two Hirudora attacks impacted the ground, leaving a deep scar on it, and fiercely bit into Orochimaru's body!

However, Orochimaru's body was wrapped by the pitch-black Truth-Seeking Ball, regardless of how powerful the Hirudora attacks were, they could not penetrate the defense of the Truth-Seeking Ball!

"It's useless..."

Jiraiya's expression gradually turned somewhat grim.

At this moment, he wasn't sure how to fight!

Facing Orochimaru, who has become so strong without weaknesses, Jiraiya didn't even know how to stop him...

Jiraiya furrowed his brow, watching Orochimaru in the distance reform the Truth-Seeking Ball into a sphere, his eyes twitched slightly.

"Can't get close, otherwise Orochimaru's Truth-Seeking Ball will turn you into nothingness... For ranged attacks, any Jutsu will be dissolved by the Truth-Seeking Ball."

Jiraiya muttered to himself, unable to help but sigh: "Is this the power of the legendary Six Paths Sage?"

"Attack!"

Someone shouted a command.

The next moment, numerous ninjas threw shuriken and paper bombs towards Orochimaru, but it didn't even make him blink.

Troops from the Ninja Alliance arrived at the scene, recklessly launching ranged attacks towards Orochimaru.

Their attacks eventually proved futile!

"Even ants can be annoying in large numbers."

Orochimaru frowned as he surveyed everyone present and slowly clasped his hands together: "But there's no need to waste their Chakra..."

Because Orochimaru could feel it!

The Ten-tailed beast craved the Chakra within these ninjas!

Once this Chakra is absorbed into his body, it would make him even stronger, especially since Uzumaki Naruto had the Chakra of half the Nine-tail!

"Hmph, then let's take all their Chakra!"

Orochimaru clasped his hands, and a vine suddenly shot out from beneath his feet, his cold voice ringing out: "Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"

The next moment, countless vines emerged from beneath him!

Orochimaru didn't even need to release a power called the Divine Tree; he only needed Wood Release Ninjutsu to do it because he knew the properties of Wood Release Ninjutsu!

Under the Ten-tail's Chakra enhancement, the Wood Release Jutsu was strengthened incredibly, with one root almost as thick as the trunk of a towering tree, extending fiercely towards everyone!

In just a few seconds, the land turned into a sea of trees, with ninjas being tightly bound by vine roots, their Chakra completely absorbed!

Only a few powerful ninjas could barely dodge within the thick vine roots, avoiding the fate of having their Chakra drained!

They knew very well.

Once caught, there's no chance of escape!

Uzumaki Naruto played a significant role at this moment, producing giant Chakra hands to create Super-Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan, destroying the attacking vines and saving ninjas who were nearly caught!

The Akatsuki side was relatively fine.

Sasori of the Red Sand and Deidara both could fly, with a group standing on a platform of sand gold, launching relentless Ninja attacks against the pursuing roots.

"Flame Wind Turbulence!"

A tumult of flame and wind erupted from Kakuzu's territory, temporarily blocking the vine roots' assault, as he gasped slightly.

Yet the advancing vines showed no signs of stopping, continuing their inexorable charge, almost endless!

The next moment, four members of the Seven-swords Ninja of the Hidden Mist jumped down, showcasing their sword techniques as flashes of blades and swords slashed, directly severing the vines!

Everyone was a master of sword techniques!

After swiftly cutting down a few vines, they quickly jumped back onto the sand gold platform, fearing they would be left behind by their unruly teammates!

After all, human power has its limits...

Compared to the somewhat useful Seven-swords Ninja of the Hidden Mist, Hidan performed poorly, being rescued multiple times...

"Hey hey hey, Hidan, you idiot, you're holding us back!"

Deidara threw down clay flying birds with wings, blasting the roots apart, loudly rebuking the largely ineffective Hidan!

After berating Hidan, Deidara turned to scold Hoshigaki Kisame: "Hey, Kisame, maybe it's your excessive Chakra that's attracting so many vines to attack us!"
