"What kind of defensive ninjutsu is this? It doesn't even have hand seals, yet its defensive power is so strong!"
Orochimaru was secretly astonished by Hyuga Kaze's aura. He had seen the Hyuga clan's so-called absolute defense, the Rotation, many times before, but none of them had such outrageous defensive power as Hyuga Kaze's aura.
"Damn it, Kakuzu, hurry up and stitch up my wound."
While Kakuzu was attacking, Hidan covered his wound and retreated to Kakuzu's side. He looked at Hyuga Kaze warily and asked Kakuzu to stitch up his wound.
Having lost his scythe, Hidan had no intention of continuing the attack. He couldn't even manage the Hidden Wind Technique, rendering his secret techniques useless; how could he dare to rush in and invite further humiliation?
"You inexplicable bastard, you hit me so hard, it hurts!"
Hidan quieted down a bit, but Manda started causing trouble again.
Manda's body was too huge. It had taken the brunt of Hinata Kaze's attack from the sky and the shockwave from his landing. Its body was still covered with countless blood holes and dust.
At first, it was so stunned by the attacks and impacts that it just stared blankly at the conflict between Hidan and Hyuga Kaze. After it came to its senses, Manda roared and swung its massive tail at Hyuga Kaze.
boom!
Supported by its massive weight, Manda's tail lashed out with immense force, slamming into the energy shield in front of Hyuga Kaze along with Orochimaru and the others' hopeful gazes.
Unexpectedly, Manda's attack was still completely ineffective. Hyuga Kaze's aura shield didn't even tremble, but Manda's tail was already a bloody mess.
"Ah, my tail, you bastard, I'm going to devour you alive!"
The serpent screamed and retracted its blood-soaked tail, its body curled up in a ball, rolling around and roaring in agony. Its snake face was contorted with intense pain.
"Disgusting bastard, you're too noisy!"
Hinata Kaze frowned as he looked at Manda. The existence of this guy was disgusting enough, but now that it was whipping its tail around and splattering snake blood everywhere, it was even more disgusting.
Although not a single drop of snake blood actually landed on him, just looking at him was extremely disgusting.
To stop his eyes from suffering any longer, Hyuga Kaze took the initiative. He circulated his Eight Trigrams Palm to gather chakra, and with a wave of his hand, a surging burst of fiery energy shot straight at Manda.
Manda sensed Hyuga Kaze's attack. Having been taught a lesson, it dared not be careless again and twisted its body to try to dodge, enduring the pain.
However, Hinata Kaze's fiery palm strike was not only hot enough to burn the sky and boil the sea, but also carried a power that suppressed the heavens and earth and sealed off space. As Manda twisted, he felt as if he were trapped in a deep rock pit and could not move an inch.
Just as Wanshe was about to dispel the spiritual connection and return to Longdi Cave, the palm strike was already close, and a mysterious force blocked the spatial fluctuations.
"ah!"
In the blink of an eye, the powerful flames, carrying the weight of a mountain and the intense heat that distorted the air, descended upon Manda. In an instant, Manda collapsed to the ground, its painful roar barely audible before it was incinerated by the extreme power of the flames into a small mountain of charred remains!
Hinata Kaze took a sniff and had to admit that the snake smelled quite good after it was roasted.
"Ten Thousand Snakes!"
Orochimaru couldn't help but gasp in shock at Manda's fate. Although the snake was foul-mouthed and gluttonous, it had been of considerable help to Orochimaru and had become an integral part of his strength.
His reputation as one of the legendary Sannin alongside Tsunade and Jiraiya is largely due to the fact that each of them possessed a giant summoning beast.
After eliminating the eyesore, Hyuga Kaze resumed his nonchalant posture with his hands behind his back, and looked at Orochimaru, asking, "Oh, I forgot this snake belongs to your family. What, Mr. Orochimaru, are you seeking revenge for your summoned beast?"
"Hehehe, I didn't expect that the head of the Hyuga clan who defeated Uchiha Itachi would have such strength. You are even stronger than the rumors say."
Orochimaru had an exceptional ability to control his emotions; not only did he show no anger on his face, but he also smiled and thanked Hyuga Kaze.
"Manda is arrogant and gluttonous, and he kept demanding that I provide live human sacrifices. Head of the Hyuga clan helped me get rid of a major threat, so I should thank you."
"laugh!"
Orochimaru's words of submission drew disdain from Kakuzu and Hidan, who sneered out.
"You didn't even dare to avenge the death of your own summoned beast. So you survived as a rogue ninja by being a coward!"
The Akatsuki members had seen Nagato use the Rinnegan, so while they felt Hyuga Kaze's power was strong, they didn't find it too exaggerated, and they were still able to mock Orochimaru.
However, the strongest power Sasuke had ever seen was the battle between Shukaku and Gamabunta during the Chunin Exams. He was so shocked by the power that Hyuga Kaze had just displayed that his mind was still reeling.
Even Orochimaru has to be careful with this power; I must seize this opportunity. If I can acquire his current power, I should be able to take my revenge!
Didn't he want to be my brother?
If I could obtain this power, I would be willing to be his brother, or even his nephew!
However, Sasuke's wonderful daydream was quickly interrupted by Hyuga Kaze.
While Kakuzu and the others were mocking Orochimaru, Hyuga Kaze appeared instantly beside Sasuke and Orochimaru.
The next moment, Hyuga Kaze grabbed Sasuke with his right hand, and the aura around him spun and expanded, a powerful force that sent Orochimaru and Kabuto flying dozens of meters away.
"Sasuke!"
Orochimaru twisted his body in mid-air, and after landing, he looked at Sasuke who had left him and became extremely anxious.
