Chapter 096: Bloodline Limit Rankings!

"Orochimaru-sama, why have you summoned me?"

Uchiha Sasuke asked.

At this moment, he distinctly felt that Orochimaru's gaze was different from usual, as if he wanted to devour him. Although Orochimaru had always coveted his body, it had been more subtle in the past, but today, the intent was completely exposed.

Instantly, Sasuke had a suspicion.

"Sasuke, I've been nurturing you all this time. Now it's time for you to repay me!"

Orochimaru said with a sinister smile.

"Orochimaru-sama, what do you mean?"

Sasuke backed away a bit and asked.

"Hahaha, haven't you already guessed? I want your body. My current body can no longer sustain my soul, and I need to switch to a new one. Your body is perfect for me!"

Orochimaru said excitedly.

Originally, he hadn't intended to take over Sasuke's body so soon, but Sasuke had grown too rapidly. Orochimaru knew exactly why Sasuke had grown so fast—it was due to the power of the demonic monster cells, a fusion of demonic power, curse mark power, and chakra. Unfortunately, despite his research, Orochimaru had never succeeded in creating another test subject with demon power.

He dared not experiment on himself.

But that didn't matter. Once he took over Sasuke's body, everything from the Uchiha clan's Sharingan and bloodline to the demonic power would belong to him.

"Orochimaru, do you really think you can successfully take over my body?"

Uchiha Sasuke's demeanor suddenly changed, his eyes filled with an aura of arrogance as a sharp energy radiated from him.

In an instant, the two clashed.

At that moment, Orochimaru realized that Sasuke's speed and strength were even greater than what he had observed.

"You've been hiding your true power!"

Orochimaru said coldly.

"Chidori!"

Using demonic power as energy, Sasuke released Chidori, infused with the cry of a demon bird, causing the surrounding objects to shatter, and the air itself to be torn by the black lightning of Chidori.

Orochimaru's hands, being less nimble, and his body weakened, didn't manage to dodge Sasuke's Chidori in time, and his chest was pierced through.

"Orochimaru, you're no longer a match for me!"

All fear had vanished from Sasuke's heart.

"Sasuke, you're underestimating me!"

Orochimaru didn't panic at all, not caring about the minor injury on his body.

He was prepared to abandon this body, so the damage meant nothing to him.

"Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes!"

Countless snakes emerged from Orochimaru's mouth, swarming toward Sasuke.

"Fireball Jutsu!"

Sasuke immediately used this fire-style jutsu, burning a large number of snakes, and the building was shattered by their battle.

Soon, they had moved outside the base and continued their fight.

Kabuto, who was hiding in the distance, did not offer any help.

Uchiha Sasuke's speed and strength were formidable, and with his Sharingan, he could see through Orochimaru's moves, causing Orochimaru to be at a disadvantage from the start.

Of course, this was also due to Orochimaru's weakened body and unrecovered hands; otherwise, Sasuke wouldn't have had the upper hand.

Suddenly.

When Uchiha Sasuke's Chidori once again pierced through Orochimaru's body, Orochimaru abruptly shed his skin, revealing his true form—a massive white-scaled snake.

In the next moment.

He swallowed Uchiha Sasuke whole, attempting to perform the Living Corpse Reincarnation.

"Is Orochimaru really going to take over Sasuke's body? Will he succeed?"

Kabuto muttered to himself.

In the spiritual realm.

Orochimaru began to gradually erode the space, intending to fully occupy Uchiha Sasuke's soul and consciousness with his own.

With his methods, combined with the abilities of the white-scaled snake and the effects of the Living Corpse Reincarnation, he was confident of success.

But just then, Sasuke's voice echoed.

"Orochimaru, is this all you've got?"

In Sasuke's spiritual world, a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan opened.

"Mangekyō Sharingan? Impossible! You've been here the whole time, without killing a loved one—how could you have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan?"

Orochimaru exclaimed in disbelief.

"You have yourself to thank for this!" Sasuke replied.

Orochimaru immediately understood. "Is it because of the demonic power?"

"Exactly!"

Sasuke admitted.

"Hmph, I failed. I should have taken over your body earlier, no—right when you first awakened the demonic power!"

Orochimaru regretted deeply.

The Living Corpse Reincarnation had failed, and Orochimaru's spiritual power was completely suppressed by Sasuke, eventually being confined to a small corner of the spiritual world.

"It's a bit troublesome. I can't kill Orochimaru's soul. As long as his soul isn't destroyed, he won't truly die. I can only seal him with spiritual power for now," Sasuke thought.

Thus, Sasuke used a portion of his power to seal Orochimaru.

Kabuto approached, noticing that Uchiha Sasuke's gaze had returned to the usual proud demeanor of the Uchiha clan.

He instantly understood.

Orochimaru-sama had failed!

"Congratulations, Sasuke-sama, on successfully defeating Orochimaru!" Kabuto congratulated.

Sasuke didn't pay much attention to Kabuto, as he didn't have a good impression of him either.

After defeating Orochimaru, Sasuke began to assemble his own team.

Time passed.

During this period, various rankings continued to be updated, though there were no announcements. Those who made the rankings knew immediately because their rewards were sent directly to their inventory, informing them of the updated rankings.

Of course, some people kept a close watch on the rankings and naturally noticed when they were updated.

Most rankings didn't change much, but the Pet Rankings did.

This time, the top spot on the Pet Rankings was no longer held by Beerus, but by Sun Wukong.

[First Place in Pet Rankings: Sun Wukong, Owner: Ye Tian]

[Second Place in Pet Rankings: Fox Spirit Rongrong, Owner: Ye Tian]

[Third Place in Pet Rankings: Fox Spirit Yaya, Owner: Ye Tian]

[Fourth Place in Pet Rankings: Beerus, Owner: Ye Tian]

[Fifth Place in Pet Rankings: Kumoko, Owner: Ye Tian]

The rankings beyond these changed very little, but the sudden rise of Rongrong to second place shocked many.
