Sasuke stood over the remnants of Orochimaru's body, his chest heaving as the last traces of the battle faded. His blade still crackled with the remnants of his Chidori, the air around him heavy with the lingering energy of the Curse Mark.
But even as Orochimaru's body crumbled, Sasuke could sense that something was wrong. Orochimaru's words echoed in his mind—This is only the beginning…
Before Sasuke could process what had happened, the ground beneath him began to shake violently. Cracks spread across the floor, and the walls of the hideout trembled as if the entire structure was about to collapse.
"What the—?" Sasuke muttered, his eyes narrowing as he scanned the room. Orochimaru's body had disappeared, but the chakra he had left behind was still there, pulsing with a dark, malevolent energy.
Suddenly, a massive surge of chakra erupted from the center of the room, and Sasuke's eyes widened in shock as a new figure emerged from the darkness. This was no ordinary enemy—this was Orochimaru's final trump card, a monstrous form of pure, corrupted chakra.
Naruto, Sakura, and Anon burst into the room just in time to see the colossal creature materialize. It was a grotesque, twisted version of Orochimaru, towering over them with eyes glowing like molten lava. Its serpentine body coiled around the room, its scales glinting with a sickly light.
"What the hell is that?" Naruto shouted, his eyes wide with shock.
Sasuke's grip tightened on his blade as he stared up at the monstrous form. "Orochimaru's not done yet. This is his final form—his true power."
The ground shook as the creature let out a deafening roar, its massive tail lashing out and smashing through the walls of the hideout. Rubble rained down from the ceiling, and the team barely managed to dodge the falling debris as the room began to collapse around them.
"We need to take this thing down, fast!" Sakura shouted, her fists glowing with chakra as she prepared to fight.
Naruto nodded, summoning his Kyubi cloak as his chakra flared to life. "Right! Let's end this!"
The team leapt into action, each of them moving with deadly precision as they attacked the monstrous form of Orochimaru. But the creature was far stronger than anything they had faced before. Its body was nearly impenetrable, and every attack they landed barely made a dent in its thick, scaly hide.
Sasuke gritted his teeth as he dodged a massive swipe from the creature's tail. His mind raced as he searched for a weakness, a way to bring this thing down for good.
"Ryusei!" Sasuke shouted over the noise of the battle. "We need a plan!"
Ryusei, who had been fighting on the opposite side of the room, nodded grimly as he landed beside Sasuke. "This thing's tough, but it's not invincible. We need to focus our attacks on its core. That's where its chakra is most concentrated."
Sasuke's eyes flickered to the glowing spot in the center of the creature's chest. "Got it."
Naruto and Sakura heard the exchange and quickly adjusted their strategy, coordinating their attacks to strike at the creature's core. Anon, using his mastery of the void, teleported behind the creature, launching a series of devastating strikes aimed at its weak points.
The battle was fierce, and the creature fought back with relentless fury. Its massive tail smashed through the walls, and its claws tore through the air, each strike threatening to bring the entire hideout down on top of them.
But the team was relentless. Their years of training, their mastery of time and void, had prepared them for this moment. Each of them fought with everything they had, their attacks growing more precise, more coordinated as they chipped away at the creature's defenses.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Sasuke saw his opening. The creature's movements had slowed, its energy beginning to wane. The core of its chest was exposed, glowing brightly with the dark, corrupted chakra that had given it life.
"This is it," Sasuke muttered, his eyes narrowing as he focused his chakra into his blade. "Let's finish this."
With a burst of speed, Sasuke leapt into the air, his blade crackling with the power of the Chidori. He drove the attack straight into the creature's core, the force of the blow sending a massive shockwave through the room.
The creature let out a deafening roar as its body began to disintegrate, its form collapsing into a pile of ash and dust. The dark chakra that had fueled it dissipated into the air, leaving only silence in its wake.
Sasuke landed on the ground, his chest heaving as the last remnants of the battle faded. The hideout was in ruins, but Orochimaru was finally gone.
