****************
Colt appeared in front of Orochimaru like a ghost, following the Flying Thunder God technique.
Swish!
His right leg kicked out swiftly, and despite the Truth-Seeking Ball's automatic defense, it failed to stop the attack, leaving a massive hole in Orochimaru's chest.
Boom!
Orochimaru was sent flying, his Universal Pull interrupted mid-cast.
"Damn it!" Orochimaru cursed, feeling the burning pain on his face as he crashed into a mountain.
He was the second Sage of Six Paths! To be humiliated like this—what did it mean to kick someone in the face like that?
With a shake, the debris pinning him down was blasted away, and Orochimaru flew back into the air, ready for more.
"Yo, Sasuke, long time no see." Colt greeted him with a smile.
Sasuke nodded awkwardly, having just witnessed the battle between Colt and Hashirama.
Any desire to test himself against Colt vanished immediately.
"Oh right," Colt said, clapping his fist like he had just remembered something.
"I went on a mission a while ago and picked up a ninjutsu that would suit you. Never had the chance to give it to you—seems like the perfect time now."
"What ninjutsu?" Sasuke asked, intrigued.
If Colt had remembered it for him, it had to be something special.
Naruto and Jiraiya also leaned in, curious.
Colt activated his Sharingan and used an illusion to transfer the Shadow Mirror Body-Turning Technique from the Land of Demons to Sasuke.
"What's the use of this ninjutsu?" Sasuke asked, confused by its purpose.
Colt looked at him, then at Naruto.
"It can transform the user into what they desire… basically, it can even change your gender. You'd actually become a girl."
Sasuke nodded slowly, then froze.
"Wait, what?! What do you mean by that?!"
Colt shrugged innocently.
"You're the last of the Uchiha clan. I figured you could use it to find some girls and have them turn into your perfect match. What's the harm in that?"
Sasuke was speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond.
"Why did you look at Naruto just now? And why did you specifically mention it can change you into a girl?"
"Oh, that? You're overthinking it," Colt said with a grin.
"You—!" Sasuke clenched his fist, then sighed and let it go, figuring it might be worth adding to his jutsu library.
What if he needed it someday?
Just as they were chatting, Orochimaru flew back towards them, his face dark with frustration.
Colt, who had been casually talking and laughing, seemed completely unaffected by their battle.
Orochimaru couldn't let that go.
"If I had been more focused, I would've easily avoided your attack," Orochimaru muttered to himself, glaring at Colt.
Colt smiled, seemingly admiring Orochimaru.
"You've been a great tool, Orochimaru. I only gave you a little push, and look at where you've gotten. I secretly tasked you to study White Zetsus for various purposes, but you've exceeded expectations."
"You're calling me a tool? What does that even mean?"
Orochimaru frowned. Him? A tool?
Just then, his Truth-Seeking Balls sprang forward, forming into a sharp sword that shot toward Colt.
Boom!
Colt flicked a nearby Truth-Seeking Ball with his hand, then turned to Sasuke.
"You're not of much use here, so go find Kakashi-sensei and bring him to me."
Sasuke's face darkened.
"What do you mean, not of much use?!"
Still, after a bit of struggle, Sasuke flew away using Susanoo's wings, leaving the battle.
Orochimaru ignored Sasuke and kept his focus on Colt.
Even with his immense chakra, Orochimaru wouldn't dare to approach a Truth-Seeking Ball, yet Colt had now dealt with it twice without any apparent injury.
"What's going on?" Orochimaru whispered to himself, uneasy.
Raising his fingers, Orochimaru activated a Six Paths Technique without hand seals.
"Six Paths—Dragon Fire Bullet!"
Although the fire dragon wasn't massive in size, its sheer power far surpassed that of any S-rank jutsu.
Colt remained calm.
A Wooden Golem rose up in front of him, effortlessly blocking the attack.
Then, Colt vanished, reappearing behind Orochimaru and swinging a punch aimed at his head.
"I've got you this time!" Orochimaru spun around, thrusting his Truth-Seeking Ball Sword at Colt's fist.
But in the next instant, under Orochimaru's shocked gaze, the sword cracked and shattered.
Boom!
Colt's fist slammed into him, sending him tumbling to the ground, where he lay in a crumpled heap.
"Impossible! This is the power of the Six Paths! Why are you unscathed?!" Orochimaru shouted, his voice trembling from the mental shock more than the physical pain.
Before he became the Ten Tails' Jinchūriki, he couldn't defeat Colt.
Even now, as the Ten Tails' Jinchūriki, he still couldn't win.
Was there something wrong with this person?
Seeing Orochimaru's confused expression, Colt shook his head.
"The Truth-Seeking Balls? They're like marbles to someone with my abilities now."
Orochimaru gritted his teeth.
Colt's words were laced with arrogance, but there was nothing Orochimaru could do to refute them.
"Brace yourself; it's going to hurt a bit." Colt's figure blurred, and before Orochimaru could react, he was hit with a powerful uppercut that sent him flying again.
Colt pursued him into the sky, delivering a flurry of blows, each one more powerful than the last.
Orochimaru realized, to his horror, that even with the power of the Six Paths, his speed and strength were no match for Colt.
He was being treated like a sandbag, pummeled without mercy.
"Why hasn't it come out yet?" Colt murmured, frustrated.
He had been trying to force the Ten-Tails out of Orochimaru's body with his punches, but despite landing hundreds of blows, there was still no sign of it.
Switching tactics, Colt aimed a devastating punch at Orochimaru's abdomen.
WHAM!
The softest part of Orochimaru's body took the full impact.
His eyes bulged as blood from all his orifices, and the chakra of the Ten Tails inside him began to stir.
"Finally!" Colt's face lit up with joy, and he increased the force of his attacks.
At last, Orochimaru's body began to twist and warp.
The Ten-Tails, in its form, broke free from the seal and was expelled from Orochimaru's body!
