Naruto: Bloodline Limit

"Dark Release: Dark Death Ball." A Dark Death Ball shot forth. Although it was just a sphere the size of a Rasengan, Orochimaru didn't dare to underestimate it. Even without using Sage Mode at this moment, his sensory perception had increased significantly. At that moment, the constantly rotating energy sphere was filled with terrifying power.

"Water Release: Giant Waterfall Jutsu." With the abilities he gained from Kimimaro and the Uzumaki clan, his chakra reserves were many times larger than before. Casting the A-ranked Giant Waterfall Jutsu was a piece of cake for him.

Unfortunately, the Giant Waterfall Jutsu was useless and was completely pierced through by the Dark Death Ball, striking Orochimaru's body. However, Orochimaru turned into a piece of snake skin when he was hit.

"Using this move in front of me is useless. Dark Rinne Sharingan: Dark Vortex," Ryoha's Sharingan spun with its tomoe turning into concentric ripples. A crack appeared on Orochimaru's side, and he was pulled toward Ryoha.

"You've fallen into my trap." Ryoha had a Dark Death Ball in his hand, and he threw it at Orochimaru, who was immobilized. The Dark Death Ball pierced through Orochimaru's body, which, just like the Eight-Tails earlier, was visibly twisted. His body suffered severe dark corrosion injuries, causing Orochimaru, despite his abnormal body structure and resilience, to let out a piercing scream.

"I may have had too much hope in you, Orochimaru. Although your strength has made significant breakthroughs, it's still far from enough to face Ryoha," said the masked man, looking at Orochimaru's condition. He let out a sigh of relief, knowing that the ten minutes of Izanagi hadn't elapsed yet; otherwise, he would be in big trouble.

"Kukuku, Ryoha-kun, you underestimated me." Orochimaru's body, initially heavily corroded, began recovering at a visible rate.

"Even if you obtained the recovery ability of the Uzumaki clan, you can't recover that fast. After all, you only got this ability from the blood and cells of an Uzumaki clan member. Compared to the original Uzumaki clan members' recovery power, it's incomparable. I suppose you also obtained cells from Hashirama Senju. The Uzumaki clan's recovery power, combined with Hashirama Senju's cells and your unique body constitution, as well as the medical ninjutsu abilities you possess, is the reason you can recover so quickly."

It could be said that Ryoha hadn't paid attention to the one hiding on the side as "Kabuto!" which allowed Orochimaru to deceive him. Moreover, Orochimaru was extremely cautious and didn't use any techniques. He simply used the Face Copying Jutsu to wear a human skin mask and exuded the aura of Kabuto. In such circumstances, Ryoha didn't notice, but under Ryoha's Dark Rinne Sharingan, Orochimaru couldn't hide at all.

"Such terrifying eyes," Orochimaru said, looking at Ryoha's magical eyes. The Rinnegan-like dark gray patterns, nine black and red tomoe, and the terrifying power of the Dark Eye were constantly emanating. Orochimaru felt an extremely oppressive force.

"Do you want them?" Ryoha looked at Orochimaru with a smile. To be honest, although Orochimaru had made great strides in power and had many abilities, in Ryoha's eyes, they were utterly useless. Strong recovery abilities? What's the use when I can release a more powerful Dark Release jutsu that completely destroys your recovery capabilities?"

"Of course, I want them, but for now, I don't have the strength," Orochimaru's eyes glinted with a mad desire and possessiveness. These eyes were just too perfect, emanating a pervasive aura of darkness. They were many times stronger and more perfect than the Rinnegan combined with the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki powers that Kaguya possessed. Orochimaru didn't want the fake ones.

"You're quite self-aware. Do you think the recovery ability you've obtained is useful in front of me? Dark Release: Dark Wave!" Dark waves of ripples spread out from Ryoha's body like when a stone falls into water, and Orochimaru's expression changed drastically. Without a second thought, he formed hand seals and shouted, "Sage Mode: Activate!"

In Sage Mode, Orochimaru's aura surged instantly. The Triple Rashomon Gates appeared out of thin air, blocking Ryoha's Dark Wave, albeit slowing it down only slightly. The formidable Triple Rashomon Gates were no match for the impact of the Dark Wave, and after three heavy impacts, they were shattered.

However, Orochimaru had managed to keep his distance during this exchange. At the same time, A appeared next to Ryoha with the crackling sound of lightning. His hand, covered in electricity, delivered a series of continuous karate chops to Ryoha's body. Unfortunately, the attacks were blocked by Ryoha's Dark Guard.

But A wasn't willing to let this opportunity slip away. He gathered all his strength and launched another series of karate chops.

"Chibaku Tensei!" Nagato himself flew high into the sky and activated the Chibaku Tensei, pulling Ryoha towards him.

"Chibaku Tensei!" Nagato roared, and with overwhelming repulsive force, the continuous attacks on Ryoha sent him flying out.

"Indeed, they are the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths. Even though they can't unleash all the power that the Sage wield, they are still not to be underestimated," A muttered, watching Nagato's powerful attack. 

"Close your eyes and cover your ears, Sage Art: White Rage!" Orochimaru's jutsu immediately followed Nagato's. He believed that Ryoha wouldn't be so easily damaged by these techniques. If most physical attack-based jutsu were ineffective, he would try this one. This technique was likely unstoppable even by the Dark Guard, as it didn't involve solid material.

Others quickly covered their ears and closed their eyes. Orochimaru immediately spat out a white liquid that formed into a long dragon. The dragon held an orb-like object in its claw. The dragon rotated around the orb, causing it to emit intense light, and it eventually burst open.

The surrounding air vibrated continuously. Even though the people around had covered their ears and closed their eyes, many were still paralyzed by the technique, saving Sasuke, who had lost the protection of Susano'o and was on the verge of having his eyes gouged out.
