As a clone, Aoki Yoru could not use the original body's techniques, so he couldn't be bothered to think about it and directly chose the Rasengan as his move.
The Rasengan had already been fully developed in the original work, spawning a great many variations.
Ready-made techniques like the Giant Rasengan, Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, and Rasenrengan had long been clearly developed in the original work; he didn't need to rack his brain at all, he could just copy them directly.
The one with the greatest destructive power was undoubtedly the 'Great Spiral Rinne-U'; Menma Uzumaki had used this move to directly destroy the entire Konoha Village.
One must know that the last time something of this magnitude was achieved, it was with Pain's Ultra-Shinra Tensei.
Of course, Menma Uzumaki was able to achieve that level thanks to the Yin Nine-Tailed inside his body.
This time, Yagami Light also mobilized the energy of the grell stone within his body, although the energy was not as great as Menma Uzumaki's.
He hadn't intended to destroy the entire Otogakure, either; he just needed to take care of Manda, and incidentally give Orochimaru a warning.
At this moment, neither Orochimaru nor Manda had the mood to bicker, staring solemnly at the rapidly spinning small sphere in Yagami Light's hand.
They felt a sense of fatal threat from it.
At his level of strength, his sixth sense wouldn't be wrong.
On the other side, while the two were confronting each other, Sasuke immediately pulled Karin and ran into the distance; he had a premonition that staying at the scene would definitely get them caught up in it, and they might end up with no bones left.
Even Yakushi Kabuto, who was playing dead in the ruins, hurriedly used Earth Release to escape into the distance.
Then, with a flick of Yagami Light's finger, that ferocious Great Spiral Rinne-U surged forward with the power to destroy everything, heading straight for Orochimaru.
Seeing the incoming Great Spiral Rinne-U, Orochimaru's expression changed, and he immediately formed hand seals, slamming his hands heavily onto the ground.
"Summoning Jutsu: Triple Rashomon"
Amidst a deafening roar, three massive ghost gates rose from the ground, layered one after another to block the front of him and Manda.
"Boom——"
The loud noise shook the earth and mountains; the first Rashomon was instantly torn apart, and the second and third stone gates collapsed one after another under the terrifying destructive power.
The massive torrent of energy washed away everything without resistance, instantly engulfing even Orochimaru and his Manda.
In the distance, Sasuke, who was fleeing with Karin, suddenly felt a wave of air strike from behind; he was sent flying into the air, and then slammed heavily onto the ground.
Rising to his feet and seeing the huge mushroom cloud in the distance, a fanatical look appeared in his eyes.
"This is it. If I can learn this, I will definitely be able to kill Itachi."
As the smoke and dust dissipated, a deep, bottomless scorched crater appeared on the ground; even the soil had been vitrified, and everything around it had turned to powder.
Yagami Light looked at the empty scorched crater, as if everything of Orochimaru had been pulverized.
"Orochimaru, I know you are still alive, come out."
Suddenly, a small snake crawled out from the dirt and opened its mouth; Orochimaru was seen crawling out of it, soaking wet.
At this moment, Orochimaru was panting, his face pale. The Orochimaru-Style Substitution Jutsu was extremely Chakra-consuming; he couldn't perform it many times a day.
He looked at Yagami Light with a wary expression. "An amazing technique; its power even surpasses that of a Tailed Beast Ball."
Yagami Light shrugged, a standard fake smile appearing on his face. "I told you I came to trade with you, not to be your enemy."
"However, since you attacked first and affected my good mood, you must compensate me."
Orochimaru was stunned for a moment; he didn't expect the other party to pull this, having thought he would press the attack.
However, it would be best if they didn't have to fight; the other party's strength was not simple. Although he couldn't die, it would be troublesome to revive again if this body were completely destroyed.
Moreover, Sasuke was still nearby; if the other party were affected, he wouldn't have another Uchiha spare.
After finding out the other party's background, he could get his own back; in terms of patience, Orochimaru was not lacking.
"Fine, what do you want?"
"Oh! You really know how to let go when necessary."
Yagami Light didn't expect Orochimaru to agree so easily.
"I want the Hashirama cells and all the research materials in your possession."
"Also, don't you have a horn from the Eight-Tails? Give it to me."
Orochimaru's expression sank instantly; it wasn't because the other party's demands were excessive, but because every single thing the other party pointed out hit his most secretive trump cards.
It wasn't a surprise that the Hashirama cells were known; that old fox Danzo also knew about them, so there would always be wind of it leaking out.
But the Eight-Tails' horn—no one knew about it except Kabuto, and Kabuto would absolutely never betray him.
Now Orochimaru felt his back go numb; it seemed he had been completely seen through by the other party, with no trump cards left to speak of. He even suspected that the backup plans he had arranged for his resurrection were known to the other party as well.
After a long while, Orochimaru took a deep breath.
"Hehe! It seems you are also a scientist; if you have time, we can exchange ideas."
"Fine, here are the things."
As he spoke, Orochimaru opened his mouth, slowly squeezed out a scroll, and then threw it over.
Yagami Light didn't mind the filth; he opened it directly and nodded with satisfaction.
"Pleasure doing business with you, Orochimaru. I look forward to seeing you next time."
Then Yagami Light disappeared from the spot.
At this moment, Orochimaru gazed at the place where he had disappeared, his eyes filled with killing intent; this was the first time he had suffered such a big loss.
"Next time we meet, it won't be so simple."
Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth, a snake-like cold light flashing in his eyes.
He had to fully understand the white zetsu cells as soon as possible and dig out the background of this "Evil God"; next time they met, he would definitely make him pay the price.
Ryūchi Cave.
Manda lay on its last breath deep in the cave, its scales rolled back, its whole body covered in wounds deep enough to see the bone. If it hadn't forcibly shed its skin at the last moment to dissipate the force, it would have already departed to the west by now.
Its huge vertical pupils were filled with malice, and its snake tongue flickered frantically: "Damned Orochimaru! How dare you use this lord as a human shield! This grudge cannot be settled with just a thousand heads—at least ten thousand sacrifices are needed, or this lord will tear him to shreds alive!"
On the other side.
The moment Yagami Light stepped out of Otogakure, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up; he even unconsciously hummed a tune, his steps so light he felt as if he were floating.
The purpose of coming to find Orochimaru had been fully realized.
As for why he wanted the Eight-Tails' tail, it had a great use.
Originally, just like the original body, he didn't want to mess with the Tailed Beasts, as the commotion was too big.
But he thought of one thing: the Evil God Cult's Yellow Turban Army wanted to revolt, so they must have a certain amount of strength; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to make it big and would be easily wiped out.
And the current Evil God Cult's strength was simply too weak; not to mention Ninjas, even samurai could organize and wipe them out.
Just like the pyramid schemes of his previous life, they could only hide and cower in one place.
This was completely inconsistent with his grand ambitions; the most urgent priority now was to quickly improve the strength of the few leaders.
It wouldn't do for him, the Evil God, to have to step in personally every time; what kind of prestige would he have then? A god without mystery would not gain the awe of others.
So he thought of Tailed Beast Chakra; in the original work, Sora from the Fire Temple, as well as Kinkaku and Ginkaku, used Nine-Tailed Chakra to become pseudo-Jinchuriki, and their strength skyrocketed.
This was the best method he could think of; with his Sealing Technique, they would absolutely not go berserk like Sora, and this way the Evil God Cult would have the power to protect itself.
