Chapter 179 Lessons
Orochimaru's face suddenly turned gloomy under Yuxi's gaze.
He tried his best to hide his inner shock and forced a stiff smile: "Lord Yuxi is indeed very perceptive. In front of you, no secret can escape. So, will you interfere with my actions?"
Yu Xi fiddled with the fishing rod in her hand nonchalantly, with a hint of teasing in her eyes: "Oh? Your actions? I'm not really interested, but... you should have brought some forbidden techniques with you when you sneaked into Konoha this time, right?"
Orochimaru's pupils shrank slightly and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Yuxi doesn't interfere, his plan still has a chance of success.
He pretended to be calm and tried to probe: "Forbidden technique? I wonder what Master Yuxi is referring to..."
"Immortality Reincarnation, right?" Yu Xi raised the corners of her lips lightly, as if she had already seen through everything.
"You plan to summon Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju and use their power to fight against Konoha."
Orochimaru's face turned pale as paper in an instant. He never expected that Yu Xi even knew the forbidden techniques that he had not yet fully mastered.
His heart was filled with turmoil, but he dared not reveal a single word, so he could only force himself to ask, "Master Yuxi... why do you know about Impure World Reincarnation?"
Yu Xi looked into the distance and said calmly, "I have lived longer than you can imagine. Do you think I have never seen this kind of technique?"
When Orochimaru heard this, he suddenly understood.
Then, Yu Xi suddenly raised a dangerous smile: "But, I want to beat up Senju Hashirama, should that be okay?"
"Lord Yu, Lord Yuxi, this... I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" Orochimaru's voice trembled.
Before he finished speaking, Yu Xi's figure suddenly disappeared, and the next second she was already in front of Orochimaru.
She stretched out two slender fingers and gently touched Orochimaru's forehead, with a ray of fiery red light lingering on her fingertips.
"What? Do you have any objections?" Yu Xi's tone was cold, with an unquestionable sense of oppression.
Orochimaru's whole body stiffened, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back. He could feel it clearly.
As long as Yu Xi had the slightest thought, his life would end here.
Under fear, he immediately gave in: "Master Yu, Master Yuxi, you can do whatever you want! I just ask you... don't interfere with my plan..."
Yu Xi withdrew her fingers with satisfaction, and raised the corners of her lips slightly: "Very good, Orochimaru, you really know the current situation."
With that, she stopped paying attention to Orochimaru and focused on fishing again.
Orochimaru took the opportunity to retreat quietly, quickly thinking about his next strategy in his mind.
At the same time, Uchiha Sasuke's consciousness gradually emerged from the darkness.
He slowly opened his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar dark space, filled with a damp and decayed smell.
He raised his body with difficulty. The severe headache made him groan. Orochimaru's sinister whispers kept echoing in his mind.
"Curse Seal... Orochimaru..." Sasuke muttered through gritted teeth, cold anger burning in his eyes.
"I will settle this account with you sooner or later!"
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came closer. Sasuke looked up alertly, only to see Haruno Sakura and Uzumaki Naruto rushing over.
Seeing Sasuke wake up, Sakura's eyes instantly turned red and she choked up and said, "Sasuke! You finally woke up!"
Sasuke felt a slight warmth in his heart as he looked at her worried expression.
He nodded slightly and whispered, "I'm fine."
the other side.
Gaara, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast from the Sand Village, crushed the three members of the Rain Ninja Team with his absolute strength in the deep jungle of the Rain Village and successfully seized the "Book of Heaven".
After the battle, he looked cold and his eyes revealed a bloodthirsty pleasure, as if he was a Shura who had just returned from the abyss.
Temari and Kankuro followed closely behind. Although they were dissatisfied with Gaara's killing behavior, they also knew that dissuasion at this moment would only increase disputes.
"Let's find a place to rest and wash off the blood on our bodies." Temari suggested
Her voice was soft but carried a power that could not be ignored, trying to calm Gaara's inner desire to kill.
Kankuro nodded in agreement, and the three of them headed for the nearest river.
The three of them came to the river, and the wind from the river carried moist water vapor and brushed across the clothes of the three Sand Village people.
Temari tucked her golden hair behind her ears and dipped her fingertips in the cool river water, trying to wash away the fatigue from days of running around.
Kankuro squatted aside, and the puppet "Crow" stood quietly in the shadows.
However, this brief tranquility was torn apart by Gaara's suddenly rising murderous intent.
His eyes were fixed on the figure fishing not far away - Yu Xi.
She sat casually on the edge of a boulder, her fishing rod slanted toward the water.
The moonlight cast a cold glow on her golden hair, as if even time had stopped beside her.
"That woman..." Gaara's voice was low and dangerous, as hoarse as the friction of gravel.
"I can't feel any chakra at all. How interesting!"
Temari and Kankuro followed his gaze and saw a woman in a golden top fishing leisurely on the river bank not far away.
"Gaara, don't be impulsive!" Temari immediately became alert. She knew her brother's desire to kill too well.
"She looks like just a normal person..."
"Ordinary people?" Gaara pulled a ferocious smile from the corner of his mouth, with a crazy light flashing in his eyes.
"Can an ordinary person fish leisurely in the depths of the Death Forest?"
The Shukaku in his body was in unprecedented panic at this moment.
The Millennium Tailed Beast curled up into a ball in Gaara's spiritual world, its yellow-brown pupils contracted violently, staring at the woman's back.
"Kid! Stop now!" Shukaku screamed in Gaara's mind, with unprecedented fear in his voice.
"That's not something you can mess with!"
Gaara frowned and felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Shukaku was always arrogant and had never shown such panic.
This actually aroused his greater interest.
"Oh? Even you are afraid?" Gaara sneered in his mind, "Then I must try even more."
"Idiot! You're going to kill both of us!" Shukaku almost roared.
"That woman is Yuxi! The legendary god of taijutsu! Even the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, couldn't beat her!"
Gaara paused slightly.
The God of Taijutsu? How is this possible...
Just when he hesitated, Yu Xi seemed to notice something and slowly turned his head.
What a pair of eyes those were—as deep as the starry sky, as calm as still water, yet seemingly containing a storm that could destroy the world.
Her eyes flickered across the three people before finally settling on Gaara.
"Little devil from Sunagakure," her voice was like a spring hitting a rock, clear and crisp with unquestionable majesty, "I don't like the look in your eyes."
A simple sentence made the air around them freeze suddenly. Temari and Kankuro tensed up instantly, cold sweat running down their backs.
They had never felt such a horrible sense of oppression - even though the other party did nothing but just stood there, they had the urge to kneel down and surrender.
But Gaara smiled, a crazy and twisted smile.
The killing desire in his body was completely ignited, and the sand armor began to condense on his body surface.
"Interesting..." He licked his cracked lips, "It must be very satisfying to kill you."
"Gaara! No!" Temari screamed and tried to step forward to stop him, but was held tightly by Kankuro.
Shukaku was almost going crazy inside Gaara's body: "Idiot! You don't know what you're facing! She will crush you like an ant!"
Yu Xi gently put down the fishing rod and slowly stood up.
"A little kitty, it looks like your people are full of confidence." Yu Xi raised the corners of her lips slightly, with a hint of teasing in her eyes
Gaara's body trembled violently.
Shukaku... is shaking?
That arrogant Shukaku who claimed to destroy everything was actually trembling?
"Master Yu...Master Yuxi..." Shukaku's voice sounded in Gaara's mind, with unprecedented humility, "Please...please forgive this ignorant brat...he..."
"Shut up!" Gaara roared, interrupting Shukaku's plea for mercy.
He could not bear this humiliation, and he could not accept that the monster in his body bowed to others.
"I don't care who you are! You must die today!"
Before he finished speaking, Gaara suddenly clasped his hands together, and the surrounding sand rose into the air like a living thing, turning into countless sharp sand spears that shot towards Yuxi.
"Sha Shiyu!"
Faced with this attack that was enough to pierce an ordinary ninja into a sieve, Yu Xi didn't even raise his eyelids.
Just as the sand spear was about to touch her body—
"boom!"
With a dull thud, all the sand spears exploded into powder at the same time and dissipated into the air.
Gaara was like being hit by an invisible giant hand. He flew backwards and hit a tree trunk dozens of meters away. His armor of sand shattered into pieces.
"Gaara!" Temari and Kankuro exclaimed and tried to rush over, but found that their bodies could not move - an invisible force nailed them firmly in place.
Yuxi walked slowly towards Gaara, and every step seemed to step on everyone's heart.
A faint fiery red aura began to emerge around her.
"Little brat," her voice was still calm, but with a suffocating majesty, "Do you know? The first Kazekage of your Sand Village has to kneel down to talk to me."
Gaara struggled and slid down the tree trunk, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
A hint of fear finally appeared in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by madness.
"Shukaku! Give me all your power!" he roared in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Shukaku did not respond to his request this time.
On the contrary, the giant raccoon cat curled up tighter in Gaara's spiritual world, and even began to actively cut off its chakra connection with Gaara.
"No... Impossible..." Gaara felt the power draining from his body in disbelief, "You actually... betrayed me?"
"It's not betrayal, it's self-protection." Shukaku's voice trembled, "Facing her, resistance will only lead to a more miserable death..."
Yuxi had already walked in front of Gaara, looking down at him condescendingly.
There was a hint of pity in her eyes, as if she was looking at an ant that overestimated its own capabilities.
"It seems your pet is smarter than you." She whispered, "Now, tell me, do you still want to kill me?"
Gaara's throat rolled, trying to say something, but found that he could not make any sound.
Fear - an emotion he thought he had long forgotten, now overwhelmed his reason like a tide.
Yuxi suddenly smiled, and that smile was breathtakingly beautiful, but it made Gaara feel like she was falling into an icy cave.
"Forget it. For Ichibi's sake, I'll spare your life." She straightened up and turned to leave.
"but..."
She suddenly turned around, with a flash of red in her eyes. At that moment, Gaara felt that his soul was seen through.
"If you dare to look at me like that again next time..." Yu Xi's voice was as cold as the polar wind.
"I'll crush you and that little kitty together."
After saying that, the power that imprisoned Temari and Kankuro disappeared instantly, and the two immediately collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
Yuxi returned to the river, picked up the fishing rod, and continued fishing as if nothing had happened.
The surface of the river was as calm as a mirror, reflecting her indifferent face.
The three members of Sunagakure stood there in a daze, unable to recover from the shock for a long time.
Especially Gaara, his worldview was completely overturned at this moment.
The power that he was so proud of, which could destroy everything, was so vulnerable in front of that woman.
"Let's go...let's go..." Temari trembled as she helped Kankuro up, and then tried to pull Gaara, "Let's...let's leave here..."
Gaara nodded mechanically and let his sister pull him away.
Shukaku's trembling voice echoed in his mind:
"Remember today, kid. There are some beings in this world that you should never mess with..."
On the river bank, Yuxi's fishing rod suddenly sank.
She lifted it gently, and a big fish glittering with silver light jumped out of the water.
"Today's harvest is good." She said to herself, with a glimmer of joy in her eyes.
"You can have an extra meal in the evening."
"That Sunagakure brat is so rude. I'll turn his village and him into nothingness."
Yu Xi was thinking about whether to destroy the Sand Village. It was just a simple matter anyway.
