At this time, Orochimaru used the Five Elements Seal to seal the nine tails in Naruto's body.
Then, he took out the Scroll of Heaven from his pocket and used his slender tongue to throw Naruto out. Sasuke was also unable to move because he was afraid of the snake summoned by Orochimaru.
Sakura looked at Naruto who was about to fall and panicked. At this time, a figure appeared to catch him and jumped to Sakura's side. When she saw the appearance of the person, her fear disappeared.」
Starry Night looked up at Sakura and placed Naruto beside her.
The moment Orochimaru saw the girl, the smile in his eyes deepened."It's been a long time! Silver, you're still the same as before.」
Silver? Was he talking about Starry Night? Sakura's mind was filled with Orochimaru's words.
Starry Night ignored him. When she saw the scroll in the person's hand, she remembered that she had given it to Sasuke. When she looked over, Sasuke could not look her in the eye. He could only turn his head unwillingly.
He had more or less guessed it, so he turned his attention back to Orochimaru, who said,"Hand over the scroll.」
[We haven't seen each other for so long. Why are you still so heartless?」After Orochimaru finished speaking, several snakes emerged from his hand and rushed towards Starry Night.
Xiao Ying was so scared that her entire body was trembling. Starry Night also jumped away at the same time and jumped onto a tree not far away from them.
She noticed that the snakes did not seem to be attacking. Instead, they seemed to be catching prey. Their gazes did not leave her at all. He looked at Sasuke, who was standing at the side in a daze, and shouted,"What are you still daydreaming about?」
Sasuke seemed to have been jolted awake by this sentence and quickly came to block Sakura.
Starry Night attacked as she dodged. The flame-like chakra burned at the snakes that rushed towards her."You can't hurt me."」
Orochimaru retracted his hand when he heard that. He did not give up because of this. Instead, he had an evil smile on his face."But according to your current situation, you definitely can't kill me, Silver."」
At this time, Starry Night stopped on the tree where he was looking at. He saw Orochimaru's disappointed tone, but his expression was nothing but a smile."Silver, you're still so powerful, but why? Where did you go in the past?」
[Don't call me by that name.] Starry Night's tone was calm, and no expression could be seen in his eyes.
Orochimaru chuckled,[You are full of flaws now!]」The giant snake he controlled suddenly attacked Sasuke and the others. Starry Night did not expect him to suddenly shift his attention. The chakra in her hand instantly formed a giant gun and shot fiercely at the snake's head.
Before it could even touch Sasuke, it had already been killed by Hoshino. However, Orochimaru unexpectedly took the opportunity to rush towards Hoshino and reached out to grab her neck, firmly fixing the girl to the tree.
[When did you start caring about people? In the past, you wouldn't have cared about such things at all. You'll only add more burdens to yourself.」The force of Orochimaru's hand was so painful that Starry Night could not struggle, could not breathe, and did not even have the strength to lift his fingers.
He seemed to have been treated like this before…
The feeling of being unable to breathe made her hang her head weakly. Her messy hair covered half of Starry Night's face, and her bloody eyes were exposed. Perhaps she only had one expression, and neither laughter nor anger appeared.
Her eyes were as calm as still water, and her heart was as cold-blooded as ever.
Orochimaru stared at the girl's expression, and a petite figure flashed across his eyes. The same gaze and aura, those bloody eyes were always so fascinating. His eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his lips gradually rose into a smile that he had not seen in a long time.」
"I thought you would come to my side after I got rid of that eyesore, but in the end, you went to Muye and made yourself look like this.」
Disappointment flashed across Orochimaru's words, but Starry Night was stunned at that moment. His expression darkened." Blade, you killed him..."
The man's blurry figure appeared in her mind. Although he was someone who had trained her since she was young, Starry Night had never treated him as a family member. Even so, she still had some misgivings. Blade was her former master, and no one could ever replace this position.
He was the one who taught him that killers had to survive even if they had to die. Whether it was sword techniques or physical techniques, they were all cultivated by him. Logically speaking, if it were not for this person, he would not be where he was now.
She did not have a childhood, but in her past, there was only one person who was important to her.
" Everyone has someone important to protect. Do you? He recalled the night he talked to his enemy, Bai, in the Country of Waves.
Only then did Starry Night understand that she already had someone important. However, she did not expect that this person would die because of her. Where was the protection now? Perhaps it was too late to comprehend it, but even so, it was already too late.
Truly…too laughable!
[Starry Night!] When he heard Sakura's voice, he looked out of the corner of his eye and realized that Sasuke and Sakura were looking at him nervously.
I didn't expect that I would be so weak. The figure of that man appeared in my mind once again. It was no longer as blurry as before. She could clearly see the face of the blade, and that familiar heavy voice echoed in her ears.
" I don't remember teaching you such a clumsy sword technique. If I let you deal with the enemy now, it's equivalent to courting death!』
" Since I'm your master now, don't even think about embarrassing me.』
" No matter what kind of opponent you meet, you must live. Even if you are feared by everyone, I want you to live for yourself.』
Yes, no matter what happens, I have to live for myself. Blade, you want to teach me this, right…
At this moment, Starry Night's chakra exploded in an instant. Whether it was its power or killing intent, it was several times stronger than before. Orochimaru felt a burning sensation in his palm, causing him to let go of Starry Night's hand and jump to a distance not far away.
[I hate it the most…being looked down upon.」The flame-like chakras gathered in Starry Night's hand, and the outline of the sword gradually formed.
[Silver! "You're really amazing. You're actually strong enough to materialize the chakra…" Orochimaru smiled, his eyes filled with a strange light.
[Although it can't reach the true power of the Crimson Sword, it can at least…hurt you.]」
After saying that, Starry Night disappeared from where he was and attacked Orochimaru from the sky. He sneered and several snakes appeared. A flame cut off the roots of the snakes and cut deep into Orochimaru's body...
The sword was deep inside his body, but his expression was still cold and evil.」
Seeing that Orochimaru had transformed into a snake to escape the shackles of the starry night and left bite marks on her arm, Chakra tore off the snake Orochimaru and looked down at the marks on her hand. He thought it was a curse mark, but there was no mark.
It was just an ordinary bite mark…Just as Starry Night was guessing this, he felt his vision darken. He felt as if he had lost all his strength and closed his eyes weakly. Chakra instantly disappeared and fainted like death.
Sasuke looked at the figure falling from the tree in panic. He left Sakura and Naruto's side and picked up the unconscious Starry Night.
Looking at the person in his arms, his face was terrifyingly pale, as if he was dead.
For some reason, the anger that had been suppressed in his chest for a long time was revealed at this time. He looked at Orochimaru and shouted,"What did you do to her?"」
Orochimaru reverted back to his human form from his snake form. The damage caused by Starry Night was still there, and the healing speed was slow. He looked at the boy whose eyes were filled with anger with satisfaction." This venom was specially prepared for her..."
Sasuke carefully let Starry Night lie down beside Sakura.」
[Okay.] Sakura noticed the look in Sasuke's eyes. She had never seen him so angry before. He anxiously held onto Hoshi, and when she touched him, she felt her body as cold as ice, making her shiver and almost let go.
[I will never…forgive you!]」Sasuke looked at Orochimaru angrily, and this stimulation also made him activate Shura Eye.
"It looks like it's getting more and more interesting.」
After that, Sasuke tried his best to attack Orochimaru, but he was not hurt at all. He took out the kite string and fixed his whole body on the tree with skill. Sasuke stood up and made a seal,"Fire Escape, Dragon Fire Technique!"」It spat out a ball of fire that danced like a dragon.
Looking at the charred human figure in front of her, Sakura panted in relief. She ran to Sasuke happily and said,"Sasuke, you've succeeded!"」
Orochimaru, who had been severely injured by the flames, broke free of the strings on his body as if nothing had happened. He formed a seal and fixed Sasuke and Sakura in place.
[This is…Binding Spell?!] Sasuke looked at the person in front of him in shock, who was smiling as if he had just discovered something new.
Orochimaru, who completely approved of Sasuke's ability, was extremely satisfied! He burned the Scroll of Heaven in front of the two of them, then stretched out his hand and made a special seal. He suddenly stretched his neck and bit Sasuke's neck, leaving a black curse mark.
Sasuke felt a burning sensation on his neck, and he screamed in pain. Sakura panicked and did not know what to do. They found that Orochimaru was walking towards the unconscious Starry Night, seemingly intending to take her away.
Sasuke's eyes narrowed, and before he could think, he made a move,"Don't touch her!」Relying on the remaining strength in his body, he resisted the pain in his neck and stood in front of Starry Night.
Orochimaru did not expect Sasuke's actions, and his eyes revealed a playful emotion."I didn't expect you to still have strength. You are indeed the man who inherited the name of Uchiha." It didn't matter. Today's goal had been achieved. There would be more opportunities in the future.」
[What do you plan to do with Starry Night and Sasuke?」Xiao Ying mustered up her courage and shouted, but she was still unable to free herself from the shackles and was trapped in the same spot.
[One day, Silver will be mine.]」Orochimaru still called out Starry Night's name.
He looked up at Sasuke, who was trying his best to resist the curse, as if he would not give in until Orochimaru disappeared, but in the end, he fainted from the pain.
Looking at the unconscious Sasuke, Orochimaru turned around and disappeared."And Sasuke will definitely come to me because he needs my strength."」
As the terrifying and sharp laughter faded, Xiao Ying could finally move. At that moment, her legs were so weak that she knelt on the spot. Tears flowed endlessly. She did not know what to do, nor did she know what to do.
