Not only was Tagorihime surprised by the changes before her, but even the Genie was shocked.
The 'Tail Eater' is part of Orochimaru's soul and comes from the same source as Zanpakuto, but nothing like this has ever happened in the Soul Society.
With his power, he can naturally control the Tail Eater and pause this process, but he is unsure whether it is good or bad for Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru, hey... are you still there?"
In any case, compared to the Tail Eater, a simple creature with only power, the knowledgeable Orochimaru is the ideal host. The Genie will not let that little thing take over.
"I'm okay, but I can't control my body for now."
In his mind, Orochimaru's weak voice came. As someone experiencing this firsthand, he had some guesses about the changes in his body, unlike the Genie.
The Tail Eater white snake and his main body grew up in completely different environments.
After all, the environment of the ninja world cannot be compared to the Pure Land specially created by the Sage of Six Paths. The relationship between the strengths of the two has become unbalanced.
Before, nothing happened because the Tail Eater was limited by its life instincts and sensed that if it controlled the body at will, it would destroy it.
But now, thanks to the woody cells, there are no such restrictions, and it begins to follow its own ideas.
Orochimaru has no way to resist this for the time being.
"Oh, I see."
After hearing Orochimaru's explanation, the Genie felt relieved. As long as the Tail Eater doesn't turn on its host, everything else is fine.
"This is an opportunity."
The Genie's mind changed. "The little white snake is part of you after all. Now that it is showing its power, if you can make this concrete entity submit, you may be able to learn Bankai."
"Bankai?"
In his mind, Orochimaru repeated it, remaining silent.
How easy is it to subdue the Tail Eater in this state? Realistically, he should take back his body first, and then consider how to restore his body to its original state.
You must know that because of the Tail Eater, he has now truly turned into a snake form. This is completely different from the external biological armor created by 'Yamata no Orochi'.
The snake state obviously cannot move around in the ninja world, nor can it return to the village. He doesn't know if he can restore his original state by relying on 'Sage Art: Shape-shifting'.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."
Cells proliferated wildly. Before long, the white snake became more than ten meters long. This is obviously not the limit of the Tail Eater. Orochimaru's body is still too small compared to its Chakra soul body.
But continuing to expand the body will start to drain the body's own energy, and even if it really grows to be tens of meters long, it will most likely become a long, narrow, strange snake.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."
The white snake wagged its head, its snake eyes fixed on Tagorihime. Instinctively, it felt that eating this thing would be very nourishing.
"Wow, this is a really interesting change."
Alarm bells rang in her mind, but Tagorihime smiled, flashing aside to avoid the white snake's attack.
With a loud bang, the white snake crashed into the tree wall and shook its head.
It wasn't injured, but its head was a little dizzy from hitting the wall with all its strength.
It has never participated in a battle. Its actions are purely based on physical intuition, but it is not familiar with this body itself, which means that it cannot exert its full strength, and it is simply rushing around.
After trying a few times and finding that it couldn't eat Tagorihime no matter what, the little white snake simply chose to give up.
It has no humanity, so it has no self-esteem. It doesn't get angry after being teased, it just follows its biological instincts.
——If it can't catch this prey, then find another one.
Turning its head, the little white snake stared at the Holy Tree's tree wall, revealing a row of sharp teeth grinding.
It began to gnaw on the tree.
The little white snake can also sense the 'warehouse' inside the Holy Tree that stores natural energy.
Compared to the moving Tagorihime, the Holy Tree is obviously 'easier to bully'.
For a time, wood chips flew everywhere, and the entire tree hole made a 'creaking' sound. The little white snake expanded the tree hole like a worm gnawing on the tree, going in and out of it.
The Genie floated in the air, looking at the white snake that had half its body inside the tree, his eyes twitching.
Although it is natural for this kind of thing to happen before his eyes, he still feels a little strange when he sees this scene.
Tagorihime also had a smile in her eyes, unable to close her mouth.
She didn't know about the existence of the Tail Eater, and thought that Orochimaru's surgery had gone wrong.
But instead of helping, Tagorihime would rather watch the fun from the sidelines.
Orochimaru gnawing on a tree... this can be considered a small black history.
Besides, she doesn't know how to help.
"..."
Time passed, and half a day passed in the blink of an eye.
Orochimaru still failed to regain control of his body, and the white snake traveled through the tree hole, growing from more than ten meters to more than twenty meters. During this time, the Akatsuki organization also finally arrived at Takigakure Village.
Passing through the waterfall curtain and through the narrow cave, the giant tree at the bottom of the valley, resembling an umbrella, immediately attracted Tendo Pain's attention.
And unlike what Orochimaru saw before, Tendo Pain also saw a huge white snake going in and out of the tree.
A hint of surprise flashed in Tendo Pain's eyes, "What... is that thing?"
The air twisted, and Obito walked out of Uzumaki, coming to Pain's side. He looked at the tree and the white snake, and didn't know what to say.
"That's Orochimaru!"
A huge pitcher plant rose from the ground, and Zetsu poked out his head, using his deep voice,
"He seems to have undergone some kind of surgery and turned into this appearance. The clone tried to stop him, but failed."
"Yes, I see."
Tendo Pain nodded slightly, and his body shot towards the Holy Tree, instantly crossing a distance of several kilometers.
It doesn't matter what Orochimaru is doing. His goal is to capture him. It's always a good idea to beat him up first.
Tendo Pain flew to the front of the Holy Tree, and without saying any nonsense, he directly clasped his hands together, "Bansho Tenin!"
The wind howled sharply, and suddenly a strong suction force in the sky directly pulled the huge white snake that was half-exposed.
"Huh?!"
Tendo Pain gave a light exclamation. This always effective move did not work. The white snake was like it was welded to the Holy Tree, and there was no sign of being pulled out.
The white snake did not react at all to this attack, and just continued to gnaw on the tree.
"What exactly is this guy?"
Tendo Pain's eyes lit up, and strange purple light filled his eyes. Compared to before, an even more majestic suction force acted on the white snake's body.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."
This great force caused the white snake to let out a painful hiss. The slender snake body was squeezed against the tree, and flesh and blood broke apart the branches between the tree holes. A dense sound echoed between heaven and earth.
After a long stalemate, the Holy Tree broke in the middle, and the huge white snake shot towards Tendo Pain.
