Chapter 45: The slippery snake is truly hard to kill, but it doesn't matter! I'll kill him every time I see him!
"Of course, it's red..."
"Red!"
Orochimaru's pupils constricted, as if he had seen something incredibly terrifying.
"You're crazy!"
Orochimaru never expected someone would open the eighth gate, the Gate of Death, right from the start.
As a result, Orochimaru had no time to wonder when Byakuya had even mastered the Eight Gates.
"What does red steam mean?"
On the other side, Neji and Tenten asked curiously after dragging the injured Rock Lee and Naruto together.
They looked at the red steam on Byakuya's body with faces full of confusion.
"That is the red steam unique to opening the eighth gate of the Eight Gates, the Gate of Death!"
Rock Lee explained upon seeing this scene.
Likewise, his expression was now one of utter bewilderment.
At Byakuya's age, had he already begun to master the eighth gate proficiently?!
Orochimaru was panicking.
Completely panicking.
"You're crazy! If you open the Eight Gates' Gate of Death now, you'll die too!"
The flustered Orochimaru tried to use words to force Byakuya to give up.
But how could Byakuya possibly let such a good opportunity go?
"That's not for you to worry about!"
Byakuya was too lazy to waste words with Orochimaru; he wasn't even worthy of listening!
Of course, the more critical point was that although Byakuya's vitality didn't decrease after opening the Eight Gates...
The speed of his Chakra consumption was too fast!
It wasn't consumed in units of 'one kakashi', but rather as a percentage-based drain.
This way, no matter how vast the amount of Chakra in Byakuya's body was, it wouldn't last for long.
"I originally planned to let you leave painlessly, but it seems there's no chance for that now!"
Byakuya gave up the idea of using Night Guy.
If he did, one kick would probably wipe out the entire Forest of Death.
He'd just use a normal strike instead!
Then, an unprecedented pressure locked onto Orochimaru.
"My body... I can't move at all!"
Orochimaru discovered in horror that his surroundings seemed to be locked down.
Clearly, his consciousness could still think.
But his body simply couldn't keep up with any movement.
The next second, Byakuya appeared in front of him.
"Normal attack!"
BOOM!!
A massive explosion echoed throughout the entire Forest of Death.
As Byakuya threw a punch, Orochimaru was directly turned to ash by the red-steamed fist.
"This... this is so strong!!"
Sakura was stunned. Was this Byakuya's full strength?
So powerful!
Even someone as proud as Neji had to admit that in front of Byakuya, he had no right to be arrogant at all.
"Rock Lee, is this... the Eight Gates you were talking about?"
Neji's heart was far from calm at this moment.
What kind of Taijutsu could unleash such formidable power!
"I... I don't know!"
Rock Lee was equally bewildered.
Even though he had trained in the Eight Gates for so long...
He had never seen anyone push the Eight Gates to such an extent.
"And why is Byakuya completely unscathed after opening the Eight Gates' Gate of Death?"
This was what confused Rock Lee even more.
After Byakuya's punch turned Orochimaru to ash, he himself withdrew from the red steam state.
Yet, Byakuya didn't have a single injury.
He was even still full of energy.
This was nothing like the Eight Gates in Rock Lee's understanding.
You should know that he had only opened the fourth gate, and now his legs could barely move.
He would need at least a week of recovery to bounce back.
"Byakuya, Byakuya, please save Sasuke! He was bitten by that snake earlier."
At this time, Naruto ran over in a hurry and pleaded with Byakuya.
No one could understand Naruto's feelings.
Watching Sasuke being implanted with something strange by Orochimaru while he was powerless.
Looking at Naruto's extremely anxious expression...
It really lived up to the saying: the true Crown Princess is Sasuke.
"No problem!"
Byakuya came to Sasuke's side and immediately saw the Cursed Seal of Heaven on Sasuke's neck.
"Is that man named Orochimaru dead?"
While Byakuya was performing the seal, Sakura looked curiously toward the spot where Orochimaru had been destroyed.
After such a powerful technique from Byakuya, the opponent should be dead, right?
"How is that possible? What I destroyed was merely one of Orochimaru's clones."
To this, Byakuya sneered.
If Orochimaru were really that easy to kill, he wouldn't be called Orochimaru.
"Ah, he's not dead!"
Perhaps surviving such an attack was a bit beyond Sakura's range of understanding.
It left Sakura feeling a bit dizzy.
"Alright, the Cursed Seal on Sasuke's back has been sealed by me using the Four Symbols Seal."
Byakuya didn't take long to successfully seal the Cursed Seal.
Since learning the Four Symbols Seal from the scroll of seals last time, this was his first time practicing it.
However, with the One-Click Max Level Trait, there were no problems at all.
Having finished everything, Byakuya prepared to leave.
But he looked back at Naruto and the others.
They were truly a bunch of cripples and invalids.
"Forget it, come with me."
If Byakuya hadn't seen that they had just fought Orochimaru and currently had no ability to resist...
He definitely wouldn't have bothered.
And so, under Byakuya's lead, they managed to arrive at the tower's finish line.
Once they reached the end...
Everyone subconsciously moved away upon seeing Byakuya.
For no other reason than pure fear.
The fear Byakuya had instilled in them before was too deep.
"Your thing!"
But surprisingly, there was someone who wasn't afraid to approach him.
"It's Hinata!"
Byakuya watched as the simple-minded Hinata actually dared to seek him out.
He saw that she was holding the healing medicine he had left with her earlier.
It must be said, this really fit Hinata's ditsy character.
"You keep it, I don't need that stuff."
Byakuya waved his hand and told Hinata to go off and play.
"Uh!"
Hinata was stunned; she hadn't expected Byakuya to answer like that.
In fact, it was true; Byakuya had never been injured since obtaining the system.
Naturally, he didn't need any healing medicine.
It was all prepared for his opponents.
"Now, begin handing in your heaven and earth scrolls!"
Soon, the proctors over there began collecting the scrolls.
And it was quickly Byakuya's turn.
