Chapter 319 - 317: The Imperfect Eight-Headed Serpent Technique

"Just put it there. Yes, it's crooked, crooked. A little more to this side. Ugh, it's crooked again, a little more to this side!"

"Where exactly do you want it!"

"You're the one who insisted on helping. What? Impatient?"

"I'm not impatient at all! It's just too troublesome, okay!"

"What's too troublesome? You can't even place such a simple thing properly. You're clearly too clumsy. I might as well do it myself."

"Clumsy?! Do you think everyone is a genius like you, who can do everything?"

"Ichikishimahime, wait! Calm down! Don't throw it down, it'll be a lot of trouble if this thing breaks!"

In the temple deep within Ryūchi Cave, the White Snake Sage listened to the sounds reaching his ears, took a deep puff from his long pipe, slowly exhaled smoke, and sighed, "How lively!"

After a period of busy work, the TV tower was installed. The TV screen, powered by Chakra Batteries, no longer displayed static.

"shimura herbal tea, the guardian of men, a catalyst for family harmony, making women happy every night! shimura herbal tea is a best-seller in various countries, a brand you can trust! The ancestral recipe of Danzo Shimura, head of the Shimura Clan, guarantees its reputation!"

Under Ichikishimahime's hindering efforts, the TV tower was finally installed. Orochimaru, holding a thermos cup and drinking herbal tea, almost spat it out when he saw this commercial.

Who the hell designed these ad words?

Did they even ask Advisor Danzo's opinion?

Thinking of Danzo Shimura, who got so much money he couldn't count it all and paid so readily, Orochimaru figured he probably had no objections. He probably wished for even higher sales of shimura herbal tea to get an even larger share.

"So this is TV!"

Tagitsuhime sat on a chair, watching the images on the TV screen, studying how to use the remote control in her hand.

"These Chakra Batteries, even if you watch TV 24 hours a day without sleep, are enough for you to watch for an entire year."

Orochimaru pointed at the neatly packaged and stacked Chakra Batteries.

Chakra Batteries were very safe to use. Even if someone destroyed the Transformation Formula of the Chakra Battery, what was stored in it was only Chakra, so there would be no explosion.

Only when in use would the Chakra within the Chakra Battery be converted by the Transformation Formula into Lightning Release Chakra with a stable voltage.

"Orochimaru, thank you."

Tagitsuhime said with a gentle smile. Orochimaru had brought change to Ryūchi Cave, which had been the same for thousands of years, and added more color to their boring lives.

Orochimaru looked around, saw Ichikishimahime wasn't there, and said, "This was the condition for Ichikishimahime helping me. If you want to thank someone, thank her."

"Is it really necessary to avoid her when saying that?"

Tagitsuhime looked at Orochimaru's actions, amused.

"I just don't want her to know."

Orochimaru didn't want Ichikishimahime to know. If that guy found out, wouldn't her snake tail be wagging in the sky?

"I'm going to the Great Snake Colony's lair to test the Forbidden Technique I've been researching recently."

Orochimaru turned and walked out of the cave, heading towards the Great Snake Colony's lair.

After Orochimaru left, Ichikishimahime and Tagorihime appeared.

"I told you I didn't force Orochimaru, right? This was something Orochimaru and I agreed upon, you two!"

Ichikishimahime put her hand on her hip, wagging her finger at Tagorihime and Tagitsuhime, saying smugly, "You should be grateful! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to watch TV in Ryūchi Cave!"

Great Snake Colony's Lair

"Orochimaru, why are you here? Isn't it wartime right now?"

Garaga's massive body coiled up, looking down at Orochimaru.

"Even during wartime, there are periods of rest. Do you think a war, once started, never ends? If that were the case, the people of the Various Ninja Villages would all be dead within a few days."

Orochimaru said, exasperated. He really didn't know how Garaga viewed war.

"Lord Orochimaru, I smell you!"

Blue Snake saw Orochimaru and sped up, stopping when he was closer to Orochimaru.

"Orochimaru? Isn't there a war going on? Why are you at Ryūchi Cave?"

Manda's body was noticeably larger than Garaga's and Blue Snake's, his scales smooth and shiny, and the horns on his head even more menacing.

"I came to Ryūchi Cave to handle some matters, and also to test a Forbidden Technique I've been researching recently. I'll need you all to be my sparring partners."

Orochimaru formed hand signs, and the Yin Seal on his abdomen released Sage Chakra, instantly activating Sage Mode. A white snake tail transformed and coiled around Orochimaru's body. The white snake opened its mouth and hissed, splitting into head after head, until the seventh head appeared.

The white snake's body instantly swelled, its flesh enveloping her. The rapidly expanding and proliferating flesh formed a massive, white Eight-Headed Serpent with eight heads and eight tails, whose bodies were fused together. Four thick legs supported its enormous bulk.

Each head of the Eight-Headed Serpent grew two pairs of porcelain-white horns. Rather than a snake, it looked more like a dragon that had successfully shed its skin and transformed!

Manda, Garaga, and Blue Snake stared in shock at the Eight-Headed Serpent, whose body was even larger than theirs.

"This is the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique, the Eight-Headed Serpent with powerful regenerative abilities and an enormous body! A technique that can only be performed in Sage Mode!"

The Eight-Headed Serpent's eight heads opened their mouths, and Orochimaru's voice echoed from within. Its thick legs lifted and fell, and the ground shook violently, cracks spreading outwards.

A large amount of Natural Energy gathered on the Eight-Headed Serpent's body. Orochimaru released the Chakra from the Yin Seal on his wrist, refining it into Sage Chakra.

My research direction is correct… Orochimaru was inside the Eight-Headed Serpent, like piloting a Gundam.

The white snake tail was connected to the Eight-Headed Serpent's entire body, allowing Orochimaru to control it.

As the main body, Orochimaru needed to refine Sage Chakra for the Eight-Headed Serpent's consumption, and also control the movements of this massive body.

Orochimaru's current position was in the very center of the Eight-Headed Serpent's body, protected by layers of flesh and bone, making it difficult to attack her. And she could still escape using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Come, let's fight! Use all your attack methods, I'll go easy on you!"
