However, Jiang Xi did not give Orochimaru more time to be shocked and continued speaking.
"Although Kaguya consumed the Divine Tree's fruit, it was undoubtedly a betrayal to the Ōtsutsuki clan. Kaguya constantly pondered how to resist the impending return of the Ōtsutsuki clan. Thus, she used the power of the Divine Tree to turn many humans into weapons known as White Zetsu. However, Hagoromo and Hamura discovered her treachery, leading to a monumental battle between mother and sons. In the end, Hagoromo and Hamura jointly sealed their mother. Hagoromo later improved the land and founded the Shinobi Sect, earning him the title of the God of Shinobi. As for the nine Bijū, they were separated from the Jūbi by the Rikudō Sennin." Jiang Xi spoke deliberately.
"Xi, this is truly astonishing news. Is this the truth of the world? The Rabbit Goddess, the Rikudō Sennin, and the nine Bijū." Orochimaru's expression was filled with excitement as he looked at Jiang Xi again.
He never expected to receive such significant information at this moment.
As for the truth of Jiang Xi's words, Orochimaru did not doubt them. Over time, Jiang Xi has proven the authenticity of her claims countless times.
This information, while seemingly unimportant to most, was of unimaginable value to Orochimaru.
It was enough to clarify his research direction once again.
As Orochimaru's eyes gleamed with excitement, Jiang Xi's movements halted.
"Orochimaru Sama, you mentioned that the Hyūga Clan's genes are incomplete. Do you know why they are incomplete? For example, why can the powers of the Senju Clan fuse with those of the Uchiha Clan?" Jiang Xi looked at Orochimaru and spoke slowly.
"Please, enlighten me." Orochimaru's eyes lit up, his attention completely captivated.
"The Rikudō Sennin, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, had two sons. The eldest son, Indra, inherited his grandmother's Sharingan, while the second son, Asura, inherited his father's Sage body. Indra became the ancestor of the Uchiha Clan, and Asura became the ancestor of the Uzumaki Clan and the Senju Clan."
"As for the Hyūga Clan, Kaguya's second son, Ōtsutsuki Hamura, chose to go to the moon to guard the seal after sealing their mother. Apart from the descendants who followed him to the moon, some remained on Earth."
Jiang Xi spoke slowly.
"I see!"
"So, Xi, you came here to obtain the genes of the other branch of the clan on the moon, right? Does that mean your Byakugan can evolve further if you obtain the genes of that branch?" Orochimaru's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face grew even wider.
"Yes, but not entirely."
"Just like how the powers of the Senju and Uchiha Clans can fuse, not everyone can achieve evolution."
"And coincidentally, I know that there is a perfect Ōtsutsuki clan member on the moon. He was born without the Byakugan but has perfectly inherited the Sennin body of his ancestors. Orochimaru Sama, I need his genes."
Jiang Xi shook his head and spoke slowly.
"I see!"
"I understand!"
"It seems this trip will not disappoint me."
Orochimaru's eyes sparkled, and he spoke with a smile.
As the two conversed, a cold voice suddenly rang out.
"Who's there?" In the next moment, puppets began to crawl out from the ground.
"Orochimaru Sama, I leave this to you! This one won't be easy to deal with." Jiang Xi spoke and retreated behind Orochimaru.
"It seems I need to stretch a bit!" Orochimaru chuckled, and in the next moment, his hands quickly formed hand seals.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
"Orochimaru, why did you summon me again?" Manda's irritable voice echoed.
"One hundred sacrifices! Take care of them!" Orochimaru simply said with a smile.
"Hmph!" Manda snorted, and in the next moment, he swept through the surrounding puppets.
"Xi, tell me the target." Orochimaru licked his lips, his gaze focused as he spoke.
"Ōtsutsuki Toneri, who should be around five or six years old now. Of course, there should only be two Ōtsutsuki left on the moon at this moment." Jiang Xi spoke softly.
"Ōtsutsuki Toneri?"
"I see!"
Orochimaru chuckled, and in the next moment, his right hand pressed on Manda's head.
In an instant, a swarm of snakes surged out.
They spread out in all directions.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Manda's massive size made short work of the puppets. In just a moment, a large number of puppets were cleared.
"Whoosh!"
A figure appeared instantly.
Pale skin and blue-white hair, with slender willow-leaf eyebrows, wearing white clothes, and a tomoe pattern on his neck, surrounded by a surging chakra.
"Hyūga Clan?" When the figure appeared and saw Jiang Xi, he was momentarily stunned.
But only for a moment.
"Hyūga Clan, this is not a place for you." The figure spoke coldly.
"What a strange power, able to fly. Is it the Bloodline Limit?" Orochimaru looked at the figure in the sky with excitement and directly controlled Manda's tail to sweep over.
"Fool on the ground, you're dead!"
Seeing Manda's tail falling, the figure's face showed anger. In the next moment, a pale yellow light surged from the figure's body.
In the distance, a massive eyeball gathered dense power, rapidly converging toward the figure.
A vast chakra spread over his body, instantly enveloping him completely. At this moment, his body seemed to be burning with a thick yellow flame.
A powerful pressure radiated outward.
"Boom!"
A terrifying force erupted.
In the next moment, Manda's body was sent flying.
"Orochimaru!" Manda's angry voice rang out, and then he transformed into white smoke and disappeared.
Orochimaru and Jiang Xi's bodies fell to the ground.
"Orochimaru Sama, be careful from now on. This one has already used the power of his ancestors." Jiang Xi's expression was serious as he looked at Orochimaru.
"What terrifying power."
"Is this the power of Ōtsutsuki Hamura?"
Orochimaru licked his lips, showing no fear at this moment, only excitement. He felt an unprecedented strength emanating from the figure in the sky.
The vast chakra was perhaps not much inferior to that of Senju Hashirama.
Nothing could excite him more than this. Only those who lived through that era knew how strong Senju Hashirama was.
Such power was enough to drive one mad.
Seeing Orochimaru's excitement, Jiang Xi retreated further. This battle was not something she could participate in. As she retreated, the battle instantly erupted.
"So fast!" Orochimaru's pupils contracted sharply, and in the next moment, his body twisted and was sent flying.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The massive explosions echoed across the moon.
The figure enveloped in yellow chakra was unbelievably strong and Orochimaru was almost instantly overwhelmed.
"Incredible power!"
"Is this the power of the Tenseigan that my brother mentioned?"
Watching Orochimaru being completely overpowered, Jiang Xi felt only excitement.
Even though she had never doubted Jiang Chen's words, hearing about it and witnessing it were two completely different experiences.
Orochimaru's power was undoubtedly formidable, especially after his research on the Hyūga Clan and the Senju Clan, combined with his vast knowledge; his power had undoubtedly reached a new level.
Yet, even so, he was no match for the figure in the sky.
Jiang Xi couldn't help but marvel.
In the distance, Orochimaru was also excited. Even though he was being beaten to a pulp. His body was repeatedly shattered, but his excitement only grew.
"Truly a godlike power. But it seems you can't control it." Orochimaru's voice rang out with a smile.
"You're seeking death!" The figure's face showed anger, and in the next moment, he raised his right hand.
Chakra beads instantly gathered in his hand.
"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
A massive shockwave erupted, instantly sweeping through the surroundings.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The terrifying shockwave spread instantly, and at that moment, Orochimaru's body was completely torn apart.
Even Jiang Xi's shadow clone in the distance was uncontrollably shattered.
"Poof!"
The figure turned into white smoke.
In the sky, the yellow light faded, and the figure was left panting, his face slightly pale.
