Orochimaru's celestial curse mark is equivalent to a fragment of Orochimaru's will, separated from his body.
In a way, Orochimaru will not perish as long as the curse mark of heaven is imprinted.
Of course, the celestial curse mark is not something to be applied casually.
Orochimaru has experimented countless times, and no one's body can withstand the curse mark of heaven.
Before leaving Konoha, he placed the celestial curse mark on Anko as an experiment.
What Orochimaru didn't expect was that his disciple actually survived, which was quite interesting.
Over the years, only Anko and later Sasuke have endured the side effects of the Celestial Seal.
Even as strong as Kimimaro, what Orochimaru cast on him was only the Earth Seal.
Not to mention the Sound Four, who only received ordinary curse marks.
"Ah—"
Anko let out a hysterical cry and fainted in pain, collapsing to the ground.
Nanaya looked at the black three-tomoe curse mark on Anko's neck.
This is one of Orochimaru's few remaining anchors.
Orochimaru's will is embedded in it and can perceive everything externally.
It is similar to how Sasuke used the curse mark to resurrect Orochimaru during the Fourth Great Ninja War.
Sasuke doesn't need further explanation; Orochimaru sees everything outside from Anko's body.
"Tsk tsk..."
Nanaya secretly marveled.
He didn't want a third presence between himself and Anko in the future.
A pair of invisible eyes watching him is unsettling.
Unraveling Evil Sealing Method?
By the way, Nanaya remembered that the sealing technique he had learned included this trick.
"Orochimaru, I'll deal with you directly!"
Because of his unique abilities, Nanaya does not need to use Kabuto's body as a medium to perform the seal release like Sasuke did.
Thinking of this, Nanaya formed a complex hand seal.
He placed his right hand on Anko's neck to release the evil seal!
Sigh—
A gloomy atmosphere followed.
A white snake opened its mouth and slithered out from the curse mark.
With its mouth open, dripping with snake saliva, Orochimaru's form slowly crawled out of the snake's mouth.
The air was filled with the nauseating smell of snakes.
Orochimaru, clad in his snake-like appearance, stretched out his long tongue and licked his lips.
He looked at Nanaya with interest.
"Nanaya-kun, you are truly intriguing. You actually know the reverse seal of the Unraveling Evil Sealing Method. I didn't expect you to free me from the curse mark."
Living in Anko's body for a long time, what Anko knew about Nanaya, Orochimaru also knew.
The battle between Nanaya and Anko just now was also observed by Orochimaru.
The disgusting appearance is Uncle Snake.
The charming and beautiful is Aunt Snake.
Seeing Orochimaru like this, Nanaya smiled.
"Orochimaru, long time no see!"
Long time no see?
Orochimaru wondered, this was clearly their first meeting.
When an ordinary Genin saw him, they would be frightened by his aura, their legs would go weak, and their consciousness would become confused.
Like when Sasuke first met Orochimaru.
The man in front of him was calm and composed, able to chat and laugh with him.
Orochimaru had not seen such a young man for a long time.
"Nanaya-kun, as a member of the Uchiha family, do you know if your Sharingan has awakened?"
This was the only point of curiosity for Orochimaru.
Right now, he is interested in the young bodies of the Uchiha family and the Sharingan.
Previously, he was a member of Akatsuki.
He was surprised when he heard that Itachi slaughtered the entire clan; it all happened so suddenly.
And seeing Itachi again in Akatsuki shocked him even more.
At this time, Orochimaru felt that his chance had come.
His goal was Itachi's youthful body and perfect ocular power.
But what he didn't expect was that he was in front of that man, in front of those Sharingan.
There was nothing he could do, and he fell to the point of being slaughtered by others.
Helpless, he could only leave the Akatsuki organization and find another way.
When he knew there were two people in the Uchiha clan still alive, he knew his dream was not shattered.
Like everyone else, he learned that Uchiha Nanaya's qualifications were mediocre, and he hadn't even activated his Sharingan.
Orochimaru focused on Uchiha Sasuke.
Uchiha Sasuke, a young body.
Such a fragile body might not be able to withstand his curse of heaven.
If it were forcibly implanted, and something happened to Sasuke, then Orochimaru's only hope for the Uchiha's sole heir would be gone, so he could only wait for Sasuke to grow up.
Perhaps Sasuke, being Uchiha Itachi's younger brother, after Orochimaru thought he got his body, Sharingan's strength would be enough to match or even surpass Itachi.
But today, he found that things were not as simple as he thought.
Another Uchiha, Uchiha Nanaya standing in front of him, made him curious.
Seeing Orochimaru's curious eyes, Nanaya also smiled.
"Whether my Sharingan is activated, do you want to find out?"
Orochimaru's eyes narrowed, and the slit-pupil in his purple eyeshadow stared at Nanaya.
"Hehe, a funny kid."
A junior, so bold in front of him.
Besides Uchiha Itachi, Nanaya was the second.
Orochimaru is also the genius of Konoha, the legendary Sannin.
Of course, he has his own pride.
How could he tolerate being provoked by a kid?
Not everyone with the surname Uchiha is Itachi.
Besides, he had long wanted to test Uchiha Nanaya's power.
Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and pulled the Kusanagi sword from his mouth.
"Nanaya-kun, if your Sharingan is activated, then its power belongs to me."
Suddenly, Orochimaru's serpentine pupils shrank as he looked at Nanaya.
Killing Intent!
This is the technique that Orochimaru used on Sasuke and Sakura during the Chūnin Exams.
It exudes its powerful aura to deter the enemy, restraining the opponent like an invisible tightrope.
It's not over yet; Orochimaru immediately unleashed the Hidden Shadow Snake Hands.
Several large snakes opened their fangs and lunged at Nanaya.
"Nanaya-kun, just be swallowed by my swarm of snakes!"
Orochimaru had just seen his disciple Anko lose to Nanaya, but it wasn't enough to frighten him.
What he longed for was the power that truly made him fear.
A power as formidable as Itachi's Sharingan.
Seeing the group of snakes pounce on Nanaya, Orochimaru's playful smile suddenly subsided.
The pale complexion turned cloudy.
Snakes are extremely sensitive to temperature.
Just as he cast the Hidden Shadow Snake Hands, he felt that the surrounding temperature seemed to drop to freezing point.
A piercing chill enveloped him.
And the source of the icy chill he felt was Uchiha Nanaya.
The group of snakes that were originally rushing towards Nanaya scurried about without any order.
Even Orochimaru couldn't control them.
"Are these ferocious snakes so afraid of this icy chill?"
With a focused heart, Orochimaru suddenly found that the scattered snakes had turned into ice snakes.
