"What are you talking about?!"
A questioned, completely confused. He had never realized that everything was related to Ryujiro.
Besides Sasuke and Obito, no one would think that Ryujiro had anything to do with Orochimaru, the rogue ninja.
"Hehe, as the Raikage, you're indeed not very bright."
Orochimaru sneered mercilessly.
"But you are just a brainless gorilla."
A stood up in anger, but the moment he did, a terrifying force blasted him away.
He crashed heavily into the ruins and fell unconscious from the severe impact.
"So, Sasuke-kun," Orochimaru asked, his entire being exuding a dangerous aura, "what do you want to do next?"
However, Sasuke, who had obtained the power of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, paid no attention to Orochimaru.
In his mind, Orochimaru was insignificant.
Having gained the power of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, Sasuke had become blindly arrogant.
"Orochimaru, don't worry. After you die, I'll make sure Ryujiro joins you."
"The humiliation and pain he caused me, I'll return it all with interest."
From the beginning, Sasuke harbored resentment not only towards Itachi but also somewhat towards Ryujiro.
In his view, everything he did was merely out of Ryujiro's pity for his weakness.
He had always lived in Ryujiro's shadow, tormented by an inescapable nightmare.
Now, with this ultimate power, Sasuke wanted to break free from his inner demons.
The ultimate power of the Uchiha clan was unbeatable.
Orochimaru couldn't help but laugh at Sasuke's words. The mockery in his laugh was clear.
"Sasuke-kun, it's not that I underestimate you. Even with this ultimate power, you're still no match for Ryujiro-kun.
Your naive thoughts are just laughable."
"Boom—"
As Orochimaru's words fell, a terrifying surge of chakra erupted around them.
The evil chakra emanating from Sasuke was cold and frightening.
"Then experience the despair this power brings!"
Sasuke's eyes were icy as he looked at Orochimaru.
A fully formed Susanoo, standing a hundred meters tall, loomed over Orochimaru like a giant over an ant.
Sasuke looked down at Orochimaru with a cold, contemptuous smile.
This height, this view, this was the power he had always desired. Finally, he had obtained it.
Brother! Your eyes suit me well! Let me use this power to destroy Konoha!
Orochimaru was somewhat stunned as he looked at the hundred-meter-tall Susanoo in front of him.
Although shocked, he wasn't overly concerned.
No matter how powerful Sasuke's strength was, if it couldn't harm his soul, as a Hollow, he wouldn't die.
Moreover, with his accelerated regeneration ability, even a severed arm could be quickly healed.
However, the ultimate power of the Uchiha clan was indeed not just talk.
This chakra surpassed even that of previous Kages.
Even the three former Raikages would be insignificant before Sasuke.
Die!
Sasuke commanded, controlling Susanoo to crush Orochimaru underfoot.
To Sasuke, Orochimaru was now like an ant, easily crushed.
Sasuke's arrogance stemmed from not witnessing Orochimaru's display of Cero Oscuras earlier.
He believed Orochimaru's strength was limited.
"Seriously," Orochimaru muttered to himself, "if you get hurt, Itachi-kun will complain."
Orochimaru unleashed his spiritual pressure for the first time, revealing his true form after becoming a Hollow.
A vast and overwhelming spiritual pressure blanketed the entire Cloud Village.
The clouds in the sky were cut apart under its influence.
The spiraling spiritual pressure stirred the wind and clouds, creating a terrifying tornado.
Despite the drastic change before him, Sasuke's expression remained unchanged, confident in his own strength.
No matter how Orochimaru transformed, everything seemed insignificant compared to his power.
"Kehehe," Orochimaru chuckled, "so this is the power of release.
Such exaggerated power, it's hard to believe this is my body."
As the dust settled, a white, massive eight-headed serpent, only half the height of Susanoo, appeared before Sasuke.
Sasuke's eyes flashed with disdain. "Is this your power? It's nothing special."
Orochimaru, now an eight-headed serpent, laughed menacingly.
"Sasuke-kun, let me show you the power I've newly acquired. Devour them, children."
Hiss!
Countless snakes spread around the area, splitting from Orochimaru's eight-headed serpent form.
Orochimaru's ability after releasing his power was infinite division.
If his main body wasn't killed, these white snakes would continue to multiply, potentially engulfing the entire Cloud Village.
"A mere trick," Sasuke sneered, drawing his katana with Susanoo.
As he swung the sword, the surrounding space trembled.
The already devastated Cloud Village suffered further damage.
"Boom—"
The chakra energy poured down, incinerating countless white snakes.
Even a distant mountain in Cloud Village was completely sliced off.
The power Sasuke displayed was beyond what any ninja could comprehend, proving the Uchiha bloodline's unparalleled strength.
Hiss!
Although Orochimaru was affected, losing five heads, his accelerated regeneration quickly restored them.
Sasuke noticed that despite eliminating many snakes, their numbers hadn't decreased; they had only increased.
Seeing Orochimaru's heads regenerate, Sasuke was shocked.
He could regenerate? Such an ability existed?
Besides splitting, these small snakes had another ability: they could absorb chakra from anything they touched, whether a person or an object infused with chakra.
Upon reaching their limit, they would explode from absorbing too much chakra.
Now, countless white snakes had climbed onto Susanoo, their small bodies swelling as if about to burst.
At this moment, the snakes that had reached their limit trembled simultaneously.
Then, a thunderous explosion echoed through Cloud Village, as an overwhelming blaze erupted, shaking the village.

"Boom, boom, boom!"
While the small snakes didn't have much explosive power individually, the sheer number of explosions was enough to affect Susanoo to some extent.
Moreover, these snakes were growing.
The white snakes, which had split from the smaller ones, absorbed much more chakra than their predecessors.
This meant that the later explosions would be even more powerful.
Facing such relentless bombardment, even Sasuke struggled to maintain his stance with Susanoo.
Though Susanoo's sturdy defense remained intact, the constant vibrations made Sasuke extremely uncomfortable.
At this point, this technique couldn't completely overwhelm Sasuke, and Orochimaru never intended to do so from the start.
He was merely using this opportunity to test the extent of his own liberated powers.
"Buzz——"
The violent energy friction with the air produced a sizzling sound as eight snake heads suddenly concentrated their power into eight dark purple Cero blasts.
These weren't Cero Oscuras; if they were, the entire Cloud Village would likely be annihilated.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
The eight Cero blasts were released simultaneously, the suffocating pressure causing even the usually composed Sasuke to feel a sense of danger.
Eight blasts released all at once?
Sasuke swung his sword again, trying to fend off the Cero blasts.
His eyes power had become increasingly unfathomable with each use.
"Boom, boom, boom——"
The extreme flashes twisted the space, and the violent, chaotic sounds echoed throughout Cloud Village.
The invisible shockwaves were like a raging hurricane.
The purple Susanoo was pushed back several steps by the impact.
As the massive flames dissipated, Sasuke suddenly felt something was off with Susanoo.
Looking down, he saw the lower half of Susanoo covered with dense white snakes.
He could clearly feel the chakra sustaining the fully formed Susanoo was slowly draining away.
"Damn snakes!"
Seeing this, Orochimaru couldn't help but laugh.
"This level of attack shouldn't be enough to completely destroy Susanoo."
"But Sasuke-kun, don't underestimate the power of Hollows."
Swoosh!
Orochimaru's figure disappeared from the battlefield in Cloud Village.
At the same time, the snakes covering Susanoo's lower half suddenly expanded.
In an instant, the entire Cloud Village was engulfed in a massive explosion of fire.
The explosion rocked the entire village, the massive flames swallowing Susanoo whole.
The power of Orochimaru's attack was perhaps even more terrifying than Deidara's ultimate technique.
Half of Cloud Village was engulfed in the explosion, and the flames completely swallowed the Fourth Raikage, A.
Whether he survived or not was unknown.
Although the village had evacuated a large number of villagers and had many shinobi on the front lines, the village itself was now in ruins, making it meaningless to talk about its existence.
When Mabui and some of Cloud Village's shinobi arrived, they were shocked by the scene before them.
They stared blankly at the ruins, pale-faced at the sight of their once proud village.
"What... is this? Cloud Village?"
Not a single building remained intact; everything was in ruins.
As they stepped into the village, they felt the scorching heat, the lingering flames suffocating them.
"Is this... the village?"
"Is this Cloud Village?"
"No! This can't be real; it's all an illusion!"
"It's a Genjutsu! This is all a Genjutsu!"
Some of the shinobi from Cloud Village had their mental defenses completely shattered at the sight.
Cloud Village was utterly destroyed.
Even if they wanted to rebuild, the effort and time required would be incalculable, and the impact of this disaster meant the village might lose its influence in the shinobi world.
Samui looked at the ruined village in despair.
Despite being protected by the Raikage, the village ended up like this.
"Raikage! Raikage-sama!"
"Find the Raikage-sama immediately, dead or alive!"
It was then that Samui remembered the Raikage, A, who had been in the village.
Everyone's hearts sank, looking at the bodies around them and the massive flames in the distance.
If this was the village protected by the Raikage, then the Raikage was likely...
It wasn't pessimism but the reality of the situation that made them feel despair.
Mabui's last bit of hope was that the Raikage was still alive, even if severely injured.
If the village leader died, the shinobi's morale would collapse, leaving them with no will to fight.
They had to find the Raikage!
However, finding the Raikage amidst the devastation was no simple task.
The chances of survival for the severely injured Raikage were minimal after such a massive explosion.
They prayed silently.
Seeing the bodies of the shinobi around them, the heavy burden of sorrow and pressure weighed heavily on their hearts.
A thick cloud of despair hung over everyone.
Samui, looking at her former home reduced to rubble, felt a sharp pain in her heart.
She wiped the tears from her eyes and continued searching the ruins for the Raikage.
Suddenly, amidst the spreading flames and smoldering debris, Samui stopped.
She saw a charred figure lying amidst the rocks, with a faint rise and fall of the chest.
Samui rushed forward, unable to hold back her tears when she saw the person before her.
Although the face was unrecognizable, Samui was certain this charred figure was their Raikage.
"Raikage-sama is here! He is here!"
Hearing Samui's voice, the Cloud shinobi rushed over.
Upon seeing the severely burned Raikage, they felt a lump in their throats, unable to speak.
The extensive burns and faint breathing indicated that the Raikage was barely clinging to life.
What had Cloud Village faced for the Raikage to end up like this?
