Chapter 100: Orochimaru's Infinite Multiplication Exploding Tags Technique!
In the ninja world, Orochimaru's bases were everywhere.
Perhaps Orochimaru had a unique way with finances; every base he established had relatively complete facilities, and many instruments looked quite valuable just by appearance.
Uehara Naraka instantly felt a bit of interest.
At this moment, Uehara felt as if he had returned to his school days.
Although Orochimaru's laboratory looked somewhat more advanced than a middle school's physics, chemistry, and biology lab setup, it didn't stop Uehara Naraka from messing around recklessly in here.
Unfortunately, there weren't any ninjutsu scrolls here, only a few pages of Orochimaru's experiment diaries, listing a pile of messy things.
Uehara Naraka couldn't understand much of it either.
After a while, sitting idly waiting for people became somewhat boring.
Uehara Naraka took out a pile of test tubes and beakers, embarking on his first (and possibly last) path as a ninja world scientist.
As for whether there would be any fatal danger, Uehara didn't care either.
Anyway, Uehara might not be able to beat certain people in a fight, but when it came to life preservation, Orochimaru probably wasn't his equal.
After a while, the laboratory door within the base opened.
When Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi entered, they saw a scene before them that made both their eyebrows twitch simultaneously.
Uehara Naraka held a test tube in his hand, about to pour liquid into a beaker, which was being heated by an alcohol lamp underneath.
The surprise and anger on Orochimaru's face gradually faded. He said somewhat happily, "Ha, truly didn't expect someone else to be interested in these things..."
The next second, when Orochimaru saw the test tube in Uehara Naraka's hand, his voice stopped abruptly, his expression changing.
Kabuto Yakushi quickly interrupted Uehara loudly. He didn't ask Uehara Naraka why he was here, but first advised gravely, "Please put down the experimental equipment in your hand."
"Shh, don't make a sound."
Uehara Naraka held up a finger and said cautiously, "I'm conducting an experiment right now. Don't disturb my interest. Your lives are on hold for a moment."
Orochimaru: "..."
This kid is a psycho!
Kabuto Yakushi pushed up his glasses and said coldly, "I advise you not to do that. The thing in your hand will explode. Given its explosive speed and power, none of us three can escape."
"Relax, it won't blow me up."
Uehara Naraka's words made Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi's foreheads throb with anger. He defiantly poured all the contents of the test tube into the heated beaker.
While cursing Uehara Naraka inwardly, Orochimaru hastily formed hand seals, "Earth Release: Earth Style Wall!"
Originally, when Orochimaru saw Uehara Naraka, he felt a bit panicked inside.
Later, when Orochimaru saw Uehara Naraka experimenting in his lab, Orochimaru felt even more panicked.
By the time Orochimaru confirmed Uehara Naraka was just messing around recklessly, especially using these messy and extremely simple experimental steps to waste his precious refined chemicals, Orochimaru was practically driven mad by Uehara.
A scientist's rigor absolutely wouldn't allow him to tolerate Uehara Naraka.
This kid truly isn't afraid of death!
RUMBLE!
A deafening explosion sounded instantly!
The entire laboratory almost immediately collapsed from the huge explosive impact!
Kabuto Yakushi hadn't deceived Uehara Naraka. The test tube he was playing with earlier contained inherently unstable liquid; when it met the beaker and the random materials inside, it would be strange if it didn't explode!
But the power of the explosion was truly too great.
Just its effect alone was far stronger than a C-rank Great Fireball Technique.
Orochimaru hastily used the Earth Style Wall technique to defend but was still unavoidably affected. By the time they emerged from the ruins, Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi were somewhat disheveled, covered in dust and losing their image.
Uehara Naraka emerged from the Golden Body Stasis state without even a single hair harmed. He even leisurely appraised himself, "Hmm, a successful demolition experiment. Looks like I have the talent to be a scientist."
"You're thinking too much..."
Orochimaru stared ferociously and irritably at Uehara Naraka, skipping over discussing Uehara's simple and childish little experiment, and said coldly, "You kid, you actually managed to find this place."
"Yeah, I came to experience Orochimaru-senpai's life."
Uehara Naraka kicked a blocking stone aside and chuckled lightly, "Turns out I find Orochimaru-senpai's life quite interesting. Does Orochimaru-senpai have other experimental bases? I still have a few fun little experiments I want to try..."
"..."
Kabuto Yakushi speechlessly looked at Uehara Naraka, then at the entire ruins.
At first listen, Uehara Naraka seemed like someone who liked science. However, based on that messy little experiment he just did, this guy clearly had no scientific cells in his body!
Orochimaru extended his long tongue, licked his lips, and after scanning the surroundings, he saw no trace of anyone else.
Orochimaru's eyes gradually turned somewhat cold, "Such guts, actually coming alone to hunt us down... Do you really think just because you can summon Pain, you can do whatever you want?"
"Sorry."
Uehara Naraka spread his palms, looking somewhat mockingly at Orochimaru, "With Lord Pain, one can indeed be so willful."
But Uehara Naraka added again, "However, I thought about it again. If it's just facing Orochimaru-senpai, there's actually no need to summon Lord Pain at all."
"Kid!"
Orochimaru gritted his teeth, fiercely thrust out his palm, and brown python after brown python opened their mouths, snapping towards Uehara, "Who do you think you are? Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!"
"Twilight Blade!"
A purple chakra broadsword suddenly appeared beside Uehara Naraka, severing the heads of a group of pythons head-on! He even waved his hand, manipulating the purple broadsword to shoot towards Orochimaru!
That purple broadsword fiercely struck Orochimaru's body!
The next second, Orochimaru's body instantly shattered, turning into chunks of mud that fell to the ground.
Earth Release: Earth Clone Substitution.
"Ninja Art: Summoning Technique!"
Orochimaru's voice suddenly sounded from another side! A giant python crawled out from the summoning formula beneath his palm out of thin air, opened its blood-basin mouth, and rushed towards Uehara Naraka!
Uehara Naraka flew into the air and, meeting it head-on, smashed this python to the ground with one punch!
Uehara Naraka landed on the python's corpse and sighed, "Orochimaru-senpai, don't play with snakes in front of me; it's rather pointless... Without using some high-level ninjutsu, it's hard for anyone to take much interest in you."
After speaking, Uehara Naraka seemed to remember something, a sneer appearing on his face, "Oh, I forgot, Orochimaru-senpai only knows how to play with snakes."
"...Idiot!"
Orochimaru originally didn't mind Uehara's mockery; his mental fortitude far surpassed most ninjas in the world. But he couldn't stand this kid Uehara's overly poisonous mouth.
Orochimaru, as one of the rare individuals in the ninja world with all elemental chakra affinities, and aspiring to learn all ninjutsu in the ninja world, was basically proficient in all common ninjutsu recorded by the Five Great Hidden Villages.
What do you mean, only knows how to play with snakes!
Just listening to Uehara Naraka's mocking tone made Orochimaru's eye twitch involuntarily, "Truly disrespectful to your seniors... Since it's like this, let a frog in a well like you witness the vastness of the ninja world!"
As his voice fell, Orochimaru flicked his wrist, throwing a shuriken!
That shuriken strikingly carried an exploding tag as it flew towards Uehara Naraka.
At the same time, a long snake appeared beneath Orochimaru's feet, pulling Kabuto Yakushi back to his side. Clearly, he didn't want Kabuto to be implicated.
Just as Uehara Naraka was somewhat surprised, Orochimaru abruptly looked up, staring deadly at Uehara. His eyes suddenly turned somewhat grave, his palms abruptly coming together to form seals!
The moment Orochimaru completed the seals, a cold sneer flashed across his lips, "Since you're seeking death yourself, then I'll use your master and disciple's favorite ninja tool to destroy you! Ninja Art... Infinite Multiplication Exploding Tags Technique!"
