Chapter 345 Kabuto Yakushi's Betrayal? Cursed Seal 3
"Is that guy who's being besieged the one we're looking for?"
In the distance, Obito emerged from behind a tree, gazing at Kabuto Yakushi, who was dressed in a red robe and surrounded by the Sound Four and a group of Sound Village ninja.
Jue poked his head out from underground to explain.
"His name is Kabuto Yakushi. He was originally an orphan from the Konoha Orphanage and was raised by a former Root member, a wandering priestess."
Later, he was blackmailed by Danzo and became a spy infiltrating Iwagakure.
In the end, he was tricked by Danzo, who made him kill the headmaster who raised him.
Later, he was taken under Orochimaru's wing. Although he was not publicly accepted as a disciple, Orochimaru kept him by his side and trained him according to the standards of a disciple.
He played a significant role in Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha.
However, it was after the Konoha Crush plan that he clashed with Orochimaru, and they only recently completely fell out.
"Konoha, huh? I didn't expect him to be from Konoha too."
Obito gave a cold laugh.
Do you know why he turned against Orochimaru?
Black Zetsu pondered for a moment before answering.
"I suspect it's still because of Konoha."
Because of what happened to Yakushi Nonou, Yakushi Kabuto harbored resentment towards Konoha and Danzo.
He has always followed Orochimaru, probably because Orochimaru wanted to overthrow Konoha.
Orochimaru's so-called Konoha Crush plan only killed Hiruzen Sarutobi and some insignificant people; Konoha was not destroyed, and Danzo did not die.
This greatly displeased him, and since the Konoha Crush plan, Orochimaru had focused on developing the Sound Village and the Land of Rice Fields, which may have made Kabuto Yakushi feel that there was no longer any need for him to continue following Orochimaru.
Black Zetsu's speculation is very reasonable, after all, many things can be traced back to certain patterns.
Any investigation will reveal the truth.
"However, he doesn't seem that strong. Also, I haven't seen that Sage Mode that you mentioned, which is rare in the ninja world."
"I don't know either. Maybe something happened before that. After all, we didn't see Orochimaru, did we?"
Black Zetsu continued to add.
"Putting everything else aside, the forbidden technique he stole from Orochimaru is enough for us to lend him a hand."
"I think what you said makes sense, but we'll have to wait a little longer."
Obito said he would wait a little longer; since the goal was to save people, he would wait until the crucial moment to make his move.
The battle between the Sound Four and Kabuto Yakushi continues, with both sides locked in fierce combat.
All four of them even activated the first stage of the curse seal.
The cursed seals on them now are no longer some low-end, experimental type. Orochimaru followed Tetsuya's instructions and further researched Neji's Karma seal.
Orochimaru has given the cursed seal a completely new upgrade.
"As expected of Kabuto Yakushi, the person who was once closest to Lord Orochimaru, he was able to hold on for so long."
"Stop dawdling and let's deal with this guy as soon as possible, otherwise we won't be able to explain to Lord Orochimaru."
"Alright, let's use that power together then."
Yakushi Kabuto, panting heavily, looked at the four people in front of him.
"Come on, there's more power you have that I don't know about."
"Cursed Seal Form, Three!" *4
Four powerful chakra surges erupted at that moment, leaving Kabuto Yakushi stunned.
That's not right. Logically speaking, shouldn't there only be two forms of cursed seals?
The first cursed seal grants the user an increase in chakra, while simultaneously causing black lines to appear on their skin.
The second curse seal enhances the user's abilities far more than the first curse seal, and also changes the user's appearance.
What's the deal with this Cursed Seal 3? Is it a new research result from Lord Orochimaru during the time I was learning Sage Mode?
"As expected of Lord Orochimaru, he really knows how to come up with some unexpected things."
As the white smoke dissipated, the four people's appearances changed drastically. Unlike the second cursed seal, which turned humans into demons, the third cursed seal restored them to their normal human forms.
However, his appearance has changed slightly.
The young people who were originally in their teens or twenties have all turned into men in their thirties.
However, the four of them had frighteningly pale skin, making them look like members of the Otsutsuki clan.
"To die in our presence is an honor for you, a traitor!"
"Why waste so much breath on him? Just die!"
Kidomaru spread out his four arms, drew his bow and nocked an arrow.
The chakra aura locked onto Kabuto Yakushi, and an arrow was fired immediately.
The arrow vanished the instant it left the bowstring.
"The arrow has disappeared!"
The pharmacist's heart was filled with alarm bells.
In the blink of an eye, a chill came from behind.
"Earth Escape: Submerged Navigation!"
Almost instinctively, Kabuto Yakushi immediately disappeared underground.
"Hmph, it's no use. My arrows will definitely hit their target."
The arrow that appeared out of nowhere made a 90-degree turn and plunged into the ground.
With a loud bang, the hood was blown out.
"No, are we going to go this far?"
Having finally regained his balance, he inwardly groaned in despair.
In order to make the act more realistic, only Orochimaru and Tetsuya knew about his undercover work.
Apart from Orochimaru, everyone else genuinely believed he had betrayed them, and when they attacked, they went all out.
That's fine, but if they can kill, I can't possibly kill them too.
We can only back down step by step.
"If all else fails, we'll have to run away."
As he spoke, Dou reached out and pressed his hand onto the ground.
"Earth Escape..."
"Earth Release: Rock Solidification Technique!"
"What?!"
Kabuto discovered that his underground diving device was unable to start, and the entire rock structure of the ground had changed.
"You traitor, you can't escape!"
Tayuya blew the bone flute, and the illusion began to activate, with countless demons rushing towards Kabuto Yakushi.
Hidden among these evil spirits were two figures, Sakon and Ukon.
"Xinei!"
Using the demon's cover, Sakon and Ukon attacked from the left and right sides, heading straight for Yakushi Kabuto.
Kabuto Yakushi forcefully broke free from the illusion's control and raised his hand to block Sakon and Ukon's attacks.
He blocked the first punch, but was knocked back by the second.
Just as Kabuto was about to retaliate, he found that his feet were stuck to something.
Looking down, I realized it was spider silk!
"it's over!"
Kidomaru drew his bow and nocked an arrow once more.
"Xinei!"
"call out!"
The arrow was shot out, and then disappeared once more.
"Which side is it this time?!"
Just as Kabuto was searching for the missing arrow, a blindfolded, clawed demon charged at him.
"not good!"
The claws fell, and Kabuto waved his hand to parry.
Above, a golden arrow fell vertically, seemingly intent on piercing a hole in Kabuto's head.
"This farce is over!"
A low groan was heard.
A hand appeared out of thin air and caught the falling arrow. Then, it kicked the angry ghost in mid-air.
"Who goes there!"
"The ones who came to save you!"
Obito glanced at the bewildered Kabuto through his mask, then reached out and grabbed him, causing them to disappear into the Hollowfication.
