Forced to sell misery

-

Jing Ye's condition was not good, it could even be said to be extremely bad - a burning pain spread from the side of his neck where the curse was planted, and the unbearable pain tore at his nerves, almost making him collapse.

The riot of Sharingan power had not been completely suppressed yet, and the power of the curse seal was added... Two forces of completely different natures were fighting for control of the body, and Jing Ye's spirit was already tense to the extreme -

Now that he is maintaining the primary form of Susanoo, it is already close to its limit.

The strong desire to kill Orochimaru barely kept him awake, but his rationality had already been burned out. Jing Ye raised his hand.

The black rod pierced Orochimaru's body and nailed him to the stone wall.

"Don't underestimate me, Jing Ye-kun."

Starting from the place where the black stick pierced, Orochimaru's body collapsed as if melting and turned into a surging group of snakes!

Countless poisonous snakes bared their fangs and attacked Jing Ye——

"Then let me try,"

Along with the hissing sound of a venomous snake before attacking, Orochimaru's voice sounded like a ghost.

"Is the power of the curse worthy of those eyes——"

"You can try it!"

Jing Ye closed his eyes, and the moment he opened them, tears of blood welled up in his eye sockets, and the six magatama were spinning wildly in his pupils.

Unfortunately, Orochimaru obviously knew his own weaknesses - he found it difficult to resist attacks targeting mental power, such as the Sharingan's eye techniques.

So taking advantage of Jing Ye's attack, Orochimaru used his snake clone to avoid the fatal attack. At the same time, the surging group of snakes he summoned concealed the trace of his real body very well.

Under the influence of the curse, Jing Ye's perception ability is almost useless...

It was impossible to determine the exact location of Orochimaru's body in a short period of time, so Jing Ye forced himself to stay awake.

If he wasn't afraid of being exposed, he really wanted to give Orochimaru a strengthened version of the Tailed Beast Ball -

It has great power and a wide range... If one isn't enough, just get a few more, and they can fire continuously, so you don't have to worry about not being able to track down Orochimaru or kill him.

Moreover, the chakra in his body is extremely chaotic now. If it weren't for the Six-magatama Sharingan supporting him, he would not dare to attack the Nine-Tails because he was afraid of Jing Ye's power which was similar to the Six Paths. But... if the Nine-Tails intervened again and he released the Tailed Beast Chakra... that would be really fun.

But... Orochimaru wouldn't really think that if he hid his true body, he would be invincible, right?

Don't underestimate the power of his Six-magatama Sharingan!

The black Amaterasu fire was burning, and the huge black shadow became more and more solid. The surging air waves forced back the snakes. Jing Ye barely stood up and formed a seal.

The black Amaterasu flames burned more and more fiercely, and the group of snakes were annihilated in the flames. However... there were more than just the group of snakes!

Everything within a few miles, including sand, soil, rocks and the like, was consumed in the flames... The flames that could devour everything burned, turning this place into a desperate hell.

Wherever the flames passed, it was the outgrowth of his will——

As if sensing something, the black Susanoo skull punched down! For a moment, the ground was shattered and sand and gravel were scattered everywhere——

From the cracked depths of the ground, more snakes emerged—

found it!

Seizing the momentary fluctuation of breath, Jing Ye disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Hunter and prey swap identities -

With black flames leaping around his body, Jing Ye grabbed Orochimaru's neck with one hand and pressed him against the rock wall, his bloodshot eyes filled with murderous intent.

——What he is worried about now is that if he accidentally kills Orochimaru himself, he will be at a loss!

According to the crappy setting of Naruto - as long as chakra exists, the soul is immortal. Especially for Orochimaru who has used this bug to the extreme, it is still a difficult thing to really kill him.

——When Jing Ye thought of the original story where Orochimaru sliced ​​himself into pieces and hid them in the bodies of Sasuke, Red Bean, and Kabuto, who were cursed by him, in order to revive them and cause trouble as soon as possible, he felt a chill.

So, how can we prevent this problem once and for all?

Looking at Orochimaru, whose human form had completely fallen off halfway and whose lower body had turned into a snake tail, Jing Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.

Can it only be sealed?

However, at this moment, Senbai's bone spur broke through the ground, appeared in front of Jingye, and suddenly began to grow rapidly!

He had no choice but to let go and Jing Ye stepped back.

At the same time, the black fire of Amaterasu once again engulfed Orochimaru's body -

Accompanied by a shrill scream, Orochimaru's body was burned to ashes again.

The rapidly growing bone spurs turned into a sea of ​​bones. From a distance, it looked like a bone flower blooming in the desert.

Kimimaro...

It's Kimimaro again...

No longer caring whether Orochimaru was dead or not, Jing Ye turned his head and looked at Kimimaro, whose appearance had changed due to the erosion of the curse seal, and his bloodshot eyes narrowed slightly.

——Orochimaru was able to take advantage of the power of the curse seal on Kimimaro’s body and succeed unexpectedly…

He didn't believe that Kimimaro was completely unaware of the situation!

Jing Ye looked at Kimimaro with eyes full of disappointment and... murderous intent.

However, because Kimimaro had previously stopped his rampage, Jing Ye did not choose to take direct action.

"Are you asking for death?"

"I'm sorry," Kimimaro lowered his eyes, not daring to look directly into Jingye's eyes, and said in a low but firm voice, "Even if it costs my life, you are not allowed to hurt Lord Orochimaru."

"Do you think I won't kill you?"

While fighting, he also had to concentrate on suppressing the curse. His consciousness and body became out of control. Jing Ye could no longer suppress his murderous intent.

"I am already your property."

After giving Jingye this answer with difficulty, Kimimaro could no longer hold on and fell to his knees, coughing continuously.

——For Lord Orochimaru, he is no longer useful...

I can't become the vessel that Orochimaru-sama chooses, nor can I stay by Orochimaru's side and serve him...

There is no meaning for me to exist like this...

Seeing Kimimaro's numb look, ready to kill or chop him up at will, Jing Ye was so angry that his whole body was shaking.

A slap hit Kimimaro's face. Jingye looked directly into Kimimaro's eyes and said word by word, "I won't let you die."

Kimimaro turned his head away after being hit. He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Jingye's eyes. "I'm sorry... I'm no longer of any use to you."

Those green eyes seemed to have lost all their luster, leaving only deathly silence.

Jing Ye clenched his hands and used all his willpower to force himself to calm down.

He suddenly didn't want to attack Kimimaro anymore because it was meaningless.

"I want you to live."

Pulling Kimimaro's collar with one hand, Jingye stared into his eyes.

"why?"

Giving up all resistance, Kimimaro looked back at Jing Ye in confusion.

"because……"

Jing Ye took a deep breath and said, "Every life is worthy of respect."

"If you have to find a reason, why can't people live for themselves!?"

With eyes wide open in astonishment, Kimimaro looked at Jingye, as if he had been completely stunned.

No! This is completely contrary to what he believes in... He is clearly fighting for Lord Orochimaru! This is the meaning of his existence!

And Jing Ye's words seemed to completely deny his beliefs and the entire meaning of his existence!

He was extremely angry—

"Only Lord Orochimaru understands me, what do you know?!"

He waved his hand to open Jing Ye's hand that was pulling on his collar, but at the same time he lost the support of his body and fell to the ground in a mess.

"Then, do you understand that guy Orochimaru?"

Jing Ye just sneered.

"I……"

As if he had lost all his strength in an instant, Kimimaro moved his lips, but found that he could not say no matter what, he truly understood what Lord Orochimaru said.

"Understanding is mutual, Kimimaro."

"For so many years, you have always regarded Orochimaru as the meaning of your existence, so you have devoted your loyalty and everything to that guy...

But have you ever thought about what is right and what Orochimaru needs?

Is it really just a body that serves as a vessel for reincarnation?

No matter how strong, healthy, and perfect a body vessel is, it will eventually perish...

The idea of ​​immortality is a false lie in itself."

"For his own selfish desires and in pursuit of false immortality, Orochimaru has resorted to all means necessary, and you have aided and abetted him—"

Jing Ye squatted down and looked at Kimimaro, but his expression was somewhat reluctant.

It was not pity, but just reluctance, because he had no right to sympathize with Kimimaro.

——He can self-righteously sympathize with Orochimaru's ridiculous pursuit of immortality, but he has no right to sympathize with someone like Kimimaro, who simply devotes all the meaning of his existence to his faith.

However, he was betrayed by his own beliefs.
