Chapter 1152: Born

However, just when everyone thought everything was settled, a strange laugh suddenly emanated from the container. An illusory figure emerged from the container, revealing itself to be Orochimaru's twisted soul. "Do you think you can destroy me like this? You're so naive!" Orochimaru laughed arrogantly.

Sasuke glared at him, and the light of Susanoo became brighter: "Orochimaru, you are at the end of the road!" Orochimaru curled his lips in disdain: "Humph, this is just a backup plan I set up in advance." As he spoke, he formed seals with his hands, and the surrounding space began to distort, and countless black shadows poured out from the distorted space.

Naruto gritted his teeth, "Everyone, calm down! Attack together!" Everyone once again took up their battle stances. Kakashi quickly analyzed the situation and shouted, "Naruto and Sasuke, lead the attack, the others support!" Everyone responded in unison, charging towards the shadows. A new fierce battle had begun. Konoha's heroes once again plunged into a brutal battle to protect peace, convinced that by uniting, they could once again defeat evil. The battle was fierce, the shadows' ferocious attacks steadily draining everyone's energy. Naruto unleashed his Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, coordinating with Sasuke's Susanoo, temporarily overwhelming Orochimaru. But Orochimaru was no pushover. He manipulated the shadows into massive tentacles, hurling them down. Just as the tentacles were about to strike Shikamaru, Choji stepped forward, blocking the blow with his own body, gnashing with pain. Just as the situation reached a stalemate, Orochimaru suddenly let out a strange laugh. It turned out he had secretly used a forbidden technique while the others were fighting, attempting to devour the surrounding chakra. Just as Orochimaru thought he had succeeded, Sakura, who had been hiding in the shadows, unleashed the Hundred Healings Technique. She rushed towards Orochimaru and shattered his soul with a single blow. Orochimaru roared in frustration before vanishing into thin air. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; the battle was finally over. Konoha's heroes had once again safeguarded peace, their names forever etched in the village's history. But just as everyone relaxed their guard and prepared to return to the village, the ground suddenly shook violently. A massive dark figure emerged from the ground. It was the imprisoned Yamata-no-Orochi. This was Orochimaru's final plot; he had unleashed the Yamata-no-Orochi's seal before fading. The Yamata-no-Orochi opened its maw and spewed a corrosive venom at the group. Naruto quickly formed hand seals and summoned Gamabunta, who blocked the venom with his enormous tongue. Sasuke unleashed his Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu, attacking Orochi. However, Orochi's skin was thick and tough, and his attacks had little effect on it. As everyone fought hard, Shikamaru, struck by inspiration, directed the others to distract Orochi. Seizing this opportunity, Sakura once again unleashed the Hundred Healings Jutsu, leaping onto Orochi's head and delivering a powerful punch to its eyes. Orochi roared in pain. Naruto seized the opportunity to unleash his Rasengan, striking Orochi's vital points. Under the combined attack of their forces, Orochi finally collapsed, vanishing in a puff of smoke. The thrilling battle was finally over, and the heroes of Konoha, exhausted and triumphant, returned to the village.

But Uchiha Itachi had an indissoluble bond with the Yamata no Orochi from then on, and the Yasakami Tenfist Sword in his hand seemed to be born with it.
