Chapter 101: Kabuto Yakushi is Not a Good Person!
Boom!
The entire ruins were engulfed in a spectacular explosion!
Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi stood in the distance watching the center of the explosion, a smile on their lips, "Using the chain summoning of exploding tags, one can instantly summon ten thousand exploding tags, enough to directly blow up any enemy."
Back when Orochimaru was learning the Edo Tensei technique, he naturally didn't give up on researching the Infinite Multiplication Exploding Tags technique, which is used in conjunction with Edo Tensei.
For a ninjutsu genius like Orochimaru, the learning difficulty of Infinite Multiplication Exploding Tags wasn't high.
The only trouble was that the summoned exploding tags were somewhat expensive. And for Orochimaru, fighting one battle could cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in currency.
This fight was a bit too wasteful.
Except when initially learning Infinite Multiplication Exploding Tags, Orochimaru specially kept ten thousand tags; other times, he never thought of using the technique.
After all, the most important summoning condition for Infinite Multiplication Exploding Tags was to attach the first tag to the enemy's body to trigger the summoning.
If an enemy could be tagged by an exploding tag, then that enemy was already weak enough that wasting tags wasn't necessary; if an enemy was very strong, they definitely couldn't be ambushed by an exploding tag.
In Orochimaru's research, this was a false proposition.
Therefore, Orochimaru somewhat disliked this Infinite Multiplication Exploding Tags technique, which was both a waste of money and not very effective.
However, for Orochimaru, using exploding tags to kill Konan's disciple held special meaning.
Orochimaru didn't mind sending this intern off.
Incidentally, when Konan discovered Uehara Naraka's corpse, it would let her recognize the true use of exploding tags, and also recognize the gap between herself and the strong.
Orochimaru glanced at the lingering explosive mist. He didn't choose to check Uehara Naraka's corpse, just saying, "Alright, Kabuto, let's go!"
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."
Before leaving, Kabuto Yakushi glanced again at the smoke from the explosion, a trace of awe flashing in his eyes, "As expected of Lord Orochimaru's ninjutsu; even exploding tags can unleash such great power."
"This wasn't invented by me."
Orochimaru stopped, chuckled lightly, and shook his head, "This was researched by Konoha's Lord Second Hokage."
When Orochimaru mentioned the Second Hokage, a rare look of admiration appeared on his face.
From the huge cloud of explosive smoke, Uehara's voice suddenly came, "Then Orochimaru-senpai must have the training method for Infinite Multiplication Exploding Tags, right?"
"I do indeed have it, but this technique's flaw is too..."
After Orochimaru subconsciously replied, he felt the voice sounded a bit off. He abruptly turned his head towards the smoke.
Uehara Naraka was walking out from within, step by step.
Uehara patted the dust off himself, speaking casually, "Since Orochimaru-senpai has something I want, then I certainly can't let you go easily."
These words were spoken as if discussing everyday matters.
Making Uehara Naraka seem somewhat arrogant.
"Tch!"
Orochimaru's lips couldn't help but curl. He said coldly, "The Infinite Multiplication Exploding Tags technique actually didn't kill you. Looks like even a forbidden technique researched by a genius like Lord Second Hokage has flaws!"
"No, no, no... His technique has no flaws."
Uehara Naraka quickly waved his hands and explained, "I believe both myself and my teacher should like this technique very much... I think the one with flaws should be Orochimaru-senpai himself, right?"
"How dare you speak rudely to Lord Orochimaru!"
Kabuto Yakushi pushed up his glasses and abruptly lowered his hands.
A faint green light suddenly flickered on Kabuto Yakushi's palms as he applied the Chakra Scalpel enhancement technique to himself.
As his voice fell, Kabuto Yakushi charged towards Uehara Naraka first, his palms, glowing with faint green chakra, about to slash at Uehara's neck!
This was a medical ninja's fighting style.
The Chakra Scalpel wasn't just for healing; it was also overwhelmingly effective in combat, even sharper than a kunai!
However, very few medical ninjas truly applied the Chakra Scalpel in combat. Only an all-rounder ninja like Kabuto Yakushi would be so unconventional.
After all, a medical ninja's duty is to save people.
Kabuto Yakushi's duty, however, was that of an all-purpose spy.
"Twilight Blade!"
Uehara Naraka calmly extended his palm. A purple chakra broadsword fell into his hand, and then he fiercely slashed towards the oncoming Kabuto Yakushi!
Thwack!
Kabuto Yakushi stomped on the ground, leaping into the air. The next moment, he appeared behind Uehara, his chakra scalpels about to cut into Uehara's body.
Uehara Naraka just twisted his body, using the momentum, and a horizontal slash from his broadsword sent Kabuto Yakushi flying!
Uehara's fingers, aimed at Kabuto, flicked out card after card, cutting Kabuto's body until it was covered in wounds. Two cards even exploded, hitting Kabuto's body head-on.
Kabuto Yakushi rolled and fell to the ground.
Orochimaru didn't seem worried about his subordinate. Kabuto Yakushi slowly untied his clothes; the injuries on his body were rapidly self-recovering, even looking like he hadn't suffered any serious injuries at all.
Kabuto Yakushi glanced at the other wounds on his body and said gravely, "Lord Orochimaru, please be extremely careful. Almost my entire body is within his attack range."
"This kid's strength surpasses any youth I've ever seen. Even using Yin Healing Wound Destruction in advance, some attacks were still too fast to guard against."
Yin Healing Wound Destruction works by predicting the enemy's attack position, thereby pre-emptively healing the area likely to be injured, thus minimizing one's own injuries.
It's just that Uehara's attacks were too comprehensive.
"That's natural."
Orochimaru licked his lips, his expression grave, "No Akatsuki member is a simple character. Even just an intern cannot be underestimated..."
Uehara Naraka glanced at Kabuto Yakushi and waved at him amicably, "Mr. Kabuto, come over here! Don't worry, at most I'll just kill you."
"..."
Kabuto Yakushi felt completely unwell.
Is this little fellow even speaking human language?
"Of course, if you're willing to surrender now, I won't kill you either."
Uehara Naraka leaned on his chakra broadsword and said softly, "Killing you now would be somewhat too much of a waste of talent. And what our Akatsuki organization has always valued most is talent!"
"Is that so?"
Kabuto Yakushi's glasses glinted. He stood up and walked step by step towards Uehara Naraka, "If I submit to Your Excellency, what can I obtain?"
Uehara Naraka looked at him, "You get to live."
"This price seems not bad?"
Kabuto Yakushi nodded in considerable agreement. After walking to Uehara Naraka's side, he turned his head towards Orochimaru, "Apologies, Lord Orochimaru, I must..."
However, while Uehara Naraka wasn't paying attention, Kabuto Yakushi quietly took out a small scalpel from his hand and fiercely stabbed towards his [Naraka's] nape!
Bang!
Uehara Naraka suddenly ducked and landed an elbow strike on Kabuto Yakushi's chest, making the spy genius cough up a mouthful of blood.
Uehara Naraka ignored Kabuto Yakushi's cry of pain, turned, seized Kabuto's wrist, took the scalpel from his hand, and forcefully stabbed it into his shoulder area!
Under Uehara Naraka's overwhelming strength, Kabuto Yakushi couldn't help but kneel on the ground, staring wide-eyed at the indifferent Uehara!
"Did you think I was an idiot?"
Uehara Naraka kicked Kabuto Yakushi to the ground, snorted coldly, "I knew long ago, anyone who follows a traitor like Orochimaru is definitely not a good person!"
