Whitebeard?
Even when he was just fighting Jiraiya and Tsunade with Manda.
Even when he was just dealing with Hoshigaki Kisame and Shisui alone.
Orochimaru has never been so terrified as he is now.
His whole body's hair has already stood on end, even his long hair, as if it's about to explode.
A pair of golden vertical pupils are shrunk to the size of pinholes.
Cold sweat has soaked Orochimaru's clothes in the blink of an eye.
Orochimaru instinctively shouted to warn Manda.
Although the extreme pain from his mouth and tail was constantly disturbing Manda's thoughts, Manda still heard Orochimaru's two warnings.
At the same time, it was at this moment.
A strong sense of crisis surged in Manda's heart, a sense of impending death.
Following this strange feeling.
Manda quickly turned his head to look down, a pair of snake eyes, locked on a very tall human.
Compared to his own huge size, this human is not actually tall. But compared to the size of other humans, this human is definitely the tallest one Manda has ever seen.
Manda vaguely saw that this man had a crescent beard.
The other party's left hand was holding a very long and large sword.
And the other party's right hand had already clenched into a fist.
There was a faint white light on the fist.
It was that strange white light that gave it a sense of impending death.
Manda's pupils also shrank.
The intuition of the spirit beast has always been very accurate, Manda chose to believe in his own intuition, and also believed in Orochimaru's damn warning.
But the problem is…
It's a bit late.
Because at this moment, Whitebeard's fist has already heavily hit the air.
Everyone in Konohagakure could hear the sound of glass shattering suddenly.
Crack…
The atmosphere hit by Whitebeard's fist began to spread very noticeable cracks.
The death alarm in Manda's heart was ringing to the extreme.
Crack!
Crack!
Suddenly, the spreading cracks instantly enveloped Manda's body.
Also at this moment, the whole world turned upside down!
The intense vibration hit everything in the world!
The ground underfoot began to shatter inch by inch, and one after another building ruins were shattered into fine powder.
The atmosphere was twisted madly by the vibration force, making the scenery seen in front of you also distorted along with the vibration.
All creatures have lost their cognition of the sky and the ground.
As if the whole world had been turned upside down.
Bang… The intense vibration caused the earth to roar, making the entire Konohagakure village start to tremble with this force.
The visible vibration shock wave hit Manda directly.
Bang bang bang bang…
Every scale on Manda's body shattered in an instant.
A large amount of blood spurted out in all directions.
The layer of flesh on the skin was rotten on the spot by the vibration force!
Manda's internal organs were severely affected by the vibration force.
Bright red blood accompanied by organ fragments spurted out from the big drunk.
"Hisssssssssssss!!! Manda's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets, letting out an unprecedented scream of terror.
Its body, starting from the severed tail, shattered inch by inch!
The pain sensation transmitted from every single cell throughout its body.
Caused Manda's body to shudder uncontrollably!
At this most critical moment... Manda exerted the most primitive survival instinct of an animal, forcing itself to regain a bit of sanity."
The sense of impending death led it to unilaterally and decisively cancel the summoning technique.
Bang!
With a surge of massive smoke spreading and rising, Manda's huge and embarrassingly battered body suddenly disappeared from the village of Konohagakure.
When Manda reappeared, it was already in the Ryuchi Cave,
lying on the barren ground like a dead snake.
"Damn... Damn... Orochimaru..."
At this moment, Manda was nothing like the Manda everyone knew.
There wasn't a single intact scale on its surface.
Blood was flowing from every part of its body.
In no time, the surroundings turned into a pool of blood.
It was evident that half of Manda's body had disappeared. The missing half was partly severed by Whitebeard's sword, and partly shattered directly.
Manda had become a "Five Step Snake".
"That man..." Manda's eyes, filled with bloodshot, were full of fear: "What kind of monster is he?"
The proud Manda originally looked down on everyone, even Orochimaru was no exception. Even when facing Katsuyu, it just casually said some discourteous words.
But at this moment, it actually developed a fear of a human!
That man with a crescent-shaped Whitebeard...
His strength made its soul tremble!
If it hadn't decisively and unilaterally cancelled the summoning technique in time, it might have died in the village of Konohagakure!
Damn Orochimaru, summoning me to face such a terrifying enemy...
Did he want to kill me?!
Manda vomited a mouthful of blood: "Reverse Summoning Technique!"
Meanwhile.
In the village of Konohagakure.
Orochimaru stared blankly at the disappearing Manda, he was somewhat unclear for a moment... Was Manda completely shattered by Whitebeard, or did it run back to the Ryuchi Cave in time?
This overwhelmingly powerful vibration force, no matter how many times you witness it, will always leave you incredibly shocked.
Last time, Orochimaru was affected by the vibration force.
At that time, he lost a body container.
This time, was he going to lose a summoning beast?
Suddenly.
Orochimaru felt something calling him.
"It's Manda!" Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt that Manda was using the Reverse Summoning Technique in the Ryuchi Cave.
Manda was not killed by Whitebeard.
It should be his reminder that worked, allowing Manda to cancel the summoning technique in time, and ultimately saved its life.
Actually... Orochimaru and Manda's relationship wasn't that good.
They were just using each other.
Orochimaru's sigh of relief did not mean that he had feelings of friendship for Manda. He simply didn't want to lose a powerful aid.
After all, that was a kage-level force.
Bang... Orochimaru's body disappeared on the spot, he responded to Manda's Reverse Summoning Technique.
Because Orochimaru knew that if he continued to stay in the village of Konohagakure, he might become a dish on the table of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Now Orochimaru's body was injured everywhere.
His arm and abdomen were cut by Kisame's big sword, Samehada, and a large piece of flesh was cut off. Especially the wound on his arm, you could even see the white bones inside.
Orochimaru's chest had a penetrating wound, which was stabbed in by Uchiha Shisui.
His two fingers were also bruised, which were injured by Naruto.
Orochimaru knew that his condition was not good.
The key point is, Manda had already fled.
In this situation, if Whitebeard also targeted him...
At this thought, Orochimaru couldn't help but shudder.
For now he can't take back Kimimaro. He could only think of a way to "steal" Kimimaro back later.
The next second.
The scene in front of Orochimaru suddenly changed.
He had also escaped to Ryuchi Cave.
"...Manda?" When Orochimaru, clutching his chest wound, saw the scene before him, he was taken aback.
The Manda in front of him was even more miserable than him, Orochimaru almost didn't recognize the other party.
If it weren't for Manda's big head being a bit familiar...
Orochimaru would have thought that this was a scaleless worm.
And this worm was now only half a body left.
Orochimaru could clearly see the wriggling intestines inside Manda's body through the cross-section of its body.
He also saw that the outer snake's mouth full of snake teeth was gone.
It was very likely that it was shattered by Whitebeard's vibration power.
Manda didn't die from all this...
Even Orochimaru had to sigh, Manda's vitality was very tenacious.
It was worthy of being a snake from Ryuchi Cave.
"Orochimaru!" Seeing Orochimaru appear in front of him, Manda was so angry that he wanted to kill Orochimaru on the spot.
"You bastard! What kind of monster did you provoke? Damn it, you almost got me killed!"
Manda, who said these words, was still in shock.
Back then, even when he followed Orochimaru to participate in the Ninja War, he had never felt such a sense of death crisis as today.
Just now, there was a moment when Manda thought he wouldn't be able to come back.
"Hehe, aren't you still alive?"
"Cough cough..." Orochimaru coughed up a mouthful of blood, he reached out to press on his chest wound, used a simple medical Ninjutsu on the wound on his chest, and said in a deep voice: "And, this is not me who harmed you, it's you who harmed yourself."
"Didn't you notice that when I was dealing with Uzumaki Naruto, I never killed him?" Orochimaru looked straight at Manda, and said shockingly: "Because... as long as I kill that kid, what just happened will happen!"
Orochimaru paused for a moment, and continued: "The person who almost killed you with one punch is Uzumaki Naruto's adoptive father. That man, even if you and fight against him together, we are not his opponent."
"...Who is he?" Manda asked through gritted teeth.
It also wanted to grit its teeth, but it had no teeth left.
"Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates... Edward Newgate, known as 'Whitebeard'." Orochimaru said with a complex tone.
"Whitebeard..." Manda remembered this name firmly.
The next second.
Under Orochimaru's eyelids.
Manda's raised head heavily hit the ground.
Manda fainted!
Its momentum just now was completely hanging on the last consciousness, forcibly holding on.
Now.
It couldn't hold on anymore.
"A being comparable to a 'kage', just like that with one punch. Whitebeard... compared to more than a year ago, you have become stronger again!" Orochimaru looked at the unconscious Manda in front of him, and a few shadows were hidden in his golden vertical pupils.
A ridiculously strong man is still getting stronger?
What's going on?
This man...
Does he have a limit?
...
Meanwhile.
In the village of Konohagakure.
"Whoa..." Kakashi and the two Anbu ninjas beside him were blown away by the violent air turbulence caused by the vibration.
The two Anbu ninjas heavily hit a building in the distance.
The masks on their faces all shattered.
Just as Kakashi was about to hit a building...
A few red glows seemed to bloom on his Sharingan.
Kakashi immediately flipped and jumped quickly.
He stumbled and fell on top of the building.
Crack!
The Anbu mask on Kakashi's face also split in half, and his internal organs were uncomfortable due to the shock wave of the vibration.
Kakashi was a bit confused whether Whitebeard's vibration power can't tell the difference between friend and foe?
Or was it intentional by Whitebeard?
"The legendary sannin are enough to mess around." Kakashi said with a bitter smile, "I didn't expect another more chaotic old man to come."
Kakashi looked ahead.
The scenery was full of devastation.
The ground was covered with dense cracks, which had spread to half of Konohagakure, and all the houses in the entire village, large and small, were damaged to varying degrees.
The more serious damaged houses collapsed, and if not so serious, the glass in the house was also shattered.
Kakashi looked up and saw smoke filling the sky.
Adding a sense of depression to the atmosphere of the entire Konohagakure.
"It seems that the ninjas in the village who are good at Earth Release are going to be unlucky."
Kakashi muttered, "I'm afraid we have to gather all the Earth Release ninjas to restore the village to its original state."
Wait, slow down!
He suddenly realized that the ninja who is good at Earth Release is not him?
Ah, this?
.....
On the other side, the three patriarch of the Ino, Shika, Cho families were in a similar situation to Kakashi. Just a little bit of residual vibration blew them head-on, pushing the three of them back more than ten meters.
In the end.
It was still Akimichi Chouza who immediately used the multiplication ninjutsu to increase his body size several times, thereby increasing his weight.
And grabbed his two friends.
Only then did he stabilize his body.
"Manda... disappeared?" Yamanaka Inoichi's serious face was full of astonishment, "We haven't even had time to rush over... is it over?"
Akimichi Chouza put down his two friends, and with his tall body, he could just overlook the messy scene ahead.
Akimichi Chouza was shocked and said, "There is blood everywhere in front, and I also saw a big snake tail! There are also many purple crystals on the ground, a bit like broken scales."
"Snake tail? Is it broken?" Nara Shikaku asked.
"Yes!" Akimichi Chouza nodded.
".....Phew!" Nara Shikaku sighed, "It seems that the battle is over, and it should end with Orochimaru's defeat."
"If I'm not mistaken, the entire Konohagakure just experienced a violent vibration, it should be Whitebeard's power."
Nara Shikaku continued.
"Whitebeard?" Yamanaka Inoichi was astonished, "Why would that man make a move? Does he have a conflict with Orochimaru?"
Nara Shikaku shook his head, "I'm not sure, but it can be confirmed that apart from that Whitebeard, no one else in the entire Konohagakure can use the power of vibration."
"When Orochimaru and the other two Sannin were fighting just now, he and his summoned beast were evenly matched with the other two. But when Whitebeard stepped in..."
Nara Shikaku exclaimed, "In an instant, just an instant, he was defeated by Whitebeard."
Akimichi Chouza returned to his normal size.
He said with a complex expression, "If it's really as you said, Shikaku, how strong is Whitebeard?"
The three looked at each other.
The scene fell into silence.
They couldn't discuss an answer to this question.
They only knew that not only were Orochimaru and Manda not Whitebeard's opponents.
Even the Third Hokage-sama.
He was defeated by Whitebeard.
...
"Whitebeard..." Konan's eyes hidden behind her goggles widened a bit, "No wonder, Orochimaru and Sasori came back so miserably a year ago. No wonder Sasori has been wanting to make a puppet to deal with Whitebeard since he came back."
Konan knew Whitebeard was very powerful, but she only knew.
How powerful, Konan didn't have an intuitive feeling.
Until today, she truly witnessed Whitebeard's power.
Orochimaru's summoned beast in Whitebeard's hands...
It's like a small toy!
Konan's heart also sank slightly.
Because the stronger Whitebeard is, the worse it is for their Akatsuki organization.
Especially the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is actually in the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Nagato, I'm sorry..."
Konan murmured in a voice only she could hear, "Maybe, we need to raise Whitebeard's threat level to us 'Akatsuki' by several levels."
It's not just raising one level.
But raising several levels!
"And..." Konan's beautiful eyes narrowed, "Orochimaru, his threat level to us, also needs to be raised by one level."
Because Orochimaru has a lot of things hidden from them.
For example... why would Orochimaru be so anxious if a person named Kimimaro was captured by the Whitebeard Pirates? Aren't the people captured by the Whitebeard Pirates all participating in the Chunin Exam?
What does this have to do with Orochimaru?
And the summoned beast that Orochimaru summoned also made Konan realize that Orochimaru's strength is not limited to this.
Plus that guy, and the forbidden technique to resurrect the dead.
The combination of Orochimaru + Manda + strange forbidden technique.
Made Konan's alert heart rise.
Konan shook her head slightly, threw away the messy thoughts in her mind, and saw the devastation in front of her, "Is this Whitebeard's full strength? If this is his full blow, then his power, compared to Pain, may be slightly inferior."
"But if this is not Whitebeard's full strength, this is just his casual blow... that's a terrifying man. So terrifying that it doesn't fit in with the power of the ninja world."
.....
On the other side.
"Whitebeard!?" The Hokage Building, which was affected by the vibration power, also trembled for more than ten seconds, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but let out an incredible exclamation.
Although the Hokage Building was not affected too much by the vibration power.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was in it, was frightened.
When the building vibrated, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart twitched slightly.
His body was even more covered in cold sweat.
For a moment, he thought that this vibration power was directed at him, Sarutobi Hiruzen!
"Did Orochimaru and Manda... just lose to him like this?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was extremely complicated.
Logically speaking, If Orochimaru and Manda couldn't continue to destroy Konohagakure village, as the Hokage he should be happy.
But the problem is, the one who defeated Orochimaru was not a Konohagakure ninja.
But a vicious pirate!
"How can he be so powerful..." Sarutobi Hiruzen gritted his teeth, and the only remaining tooth almost shattered.
The old him is not Whitebeard's opponent, so he can still find the excuse of "being old".
But the prime Orochimaru is also not Whitebeard's opponent...
Who can rival Whitebeard?
