The headless Javo began to undergo grotesque transformations. Some sprouted upper bodies resembling locusts, while others grew appendages that looked like bee stingers. Once their new heads had formed, they launched another attack on Kurenai.
"What are these creatures?!"
Kurenai, having never seen such monsters, was frightened and quickly retreated to put some distance between herself and them.
But it wasn't just her; other ninjas faced the same issue.
The Javo monsters, unlike the typical zombies, possessed incredible regenerative abilities.
When an arm was severed, it would regrow as a scythe, shield, or even a tentacle.
If a leg was crippled, it might transform into wings, spider legs, or grasshopper limbs.
Some would even envelop themselves in a cocoon of mucus, only to emerge as an even more terrifying creature!
These constantly mutating and increasingly dangerous monsters were a severe strain on the ninjas' morale.
Some Genin and even Chunin were so terrified that they fled, unable to continue fighting.
The chaos intensified, and the number of casualties kept rising.
"Damn it, how did this happen?! Where did these monsters come from?!"
After killing several monsters, Tsunade looked around in shock.
With her Observation Haki, she could sense the rapid disappearance of many life forces, making her increasingly anxious.
"Feeling desperate, Tsunade?"
A voice suddenly spoke up.
Tsunade turned to see Orochimaru standing before her.
"Orochimaru! This is your doing!"
Tsunade exclaimed in shock.
"That's right. Remember the C-virus I obtained? All of this is its handiwork. It not only transforms life into terrifying bioweapons but also introduces new evolutionary stages!"
Orochimaru said, and with a flick of his right hand, his arm exploded into countless venomous snakes seemingly made of flesh.
"Look at me—this is my new form. I'm no longer just human, yet I retain my human appearance. This is the perfect evolution. I'm far stronger than I ever was!"
Orochimaru's face was alight with excitement as he reveled in his newfound power.
"Die!"
Tsunade roared, charging at Orochimaru. Her entire arm was covered in Armament Haki, with massive amounts of chakra compressed within it.
Tsunade's fist struck Orochimaru's body like a cannonball, crushing the snakes into pieces before her fist even made contact!
"Don't spout nonsense at me!"
Tsunade's fury was palpable as she exuded Conqueror's Haki, making her look like a demon risen from the depths of hell.
"All you've done is turn yourself into a monster. You call that evolution? You're insane!"
Tsunade stomped on the ground, causing countless cracks to spread toward Orochimaru.
Orochimaru quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the devastating impact.
But in the next instant, Tsunade anticipated his move, appearing beside him in a flash.
"Take this!!"
Tsunade delivered a powerful punch to Orochimaru's chest, sending him flying a great distance until he crashed into and collapsed an empty building.
"I don't care about your so-called evolution. You're an enemy now, and you're the one responsible for the village's condition."
Tsunade's face was filled with anger, and the flames in her eyes couldn't be suppressed.
"As the Fifth Hokage, I will destroy you!"
"Hahaha! You truly are formidable, Tsunade. And you have new powers too—Haki, is it?"
Orochimaru emerged from the rubble, a large hole in his body where Tsunade had struck him.
If he were an ordinary person, he would have died instantly. Only Orochimaru, with the C-virus's terrifying vitality, could survive.
"What an incredible life force!"
Tsunade's eyes widened at the sight of such a monstrous regenerative ability. Even her top-tier medical ninjutsu couldn't compare.
"Damn it, this is no time to get caught up in a fight."
Tsunade glanced around at the chaotic battlefield, seeing the severe casualties. She desperately wanted to summon Katsuyu and use medical ninjutsu to aid everyone.
"Thinking of saving people? How fitting for you, but I won't let you."
As Orochimaru spoke, a strange purple gas began to seep from his body.
"Whoosh!"
Orochimaru exhaled a thick cloud of purple gas, which flew like a missile and struck a ninja who was fighting off zombies.
"Ugh!"
The next second, the ninja's face contorted in pain as veins bulged from his skin, and his body began to mutate, turning him into a zombie.
"See that? This is one of my abilities. My entire body continuously emits the C-virus gas. Anyone who inhales it will transform into these creatures. Ah, I call them zombies."
Orochimaru's face twisted into a chilling smile, making anyone who saw it feel deeply uncomfortable.
"You could ignore me and try to save people, but I'll keep releasing the gas, infecting everyone in Konoha. With Jiraiya gone and you focused elsewhere, who will stop me?"
As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, Tsunade charged at him, pouring all her strength into a single punch.
"BOOM!!!"
The punch hit with the force of a missile, creating a massive explosion that ripped up the ground around them.
As the dust settled, Tsunade's fist was pressed against the ground, and she quickly looked toward a nearby area.
There, a blob of milky-white liquid seeped from the cracks, gradually forming into Orochimaru's shape once more!
"It seems you've made your decision. Try to stop me, then."
With that, Orochimaru's body emitted smoke, and he vanished.
"Damn it!"
Tsunade cursed, her face darkening as she scanned the area with Observation Haki, searching for Orochimaru.
For now, she had to put aside the idea of large-scale healing and prioritize dealing with Orochimaru.
In a dark room within a tall building, Danzo Shimura observed everything happening on the streets below.
He watched zombies tear through people, feasting on their organs.
He heard the villagers' screams.
But Danzo remained unmoved, as if none of it mattered.
"Danzo-sama, should we intervene? The situation is critical. If this continues, Konoha could be destroyed."
A ninja reported the current state of affairs.
"No, we won't get involved. Leave it to Tsunade."
Danzo showed no intention of acting.
"Inform all Root members to stand by and not interfere. This is the perfect opportunity to topple Tsunade, purge other factions, and secure my rise to power."
