Boom!!
A dull, thunderous collision echoed throughout the entire Rock Forest.
In Orochimaru's suddenly contracted pupils, the Dragon Claw unleashed by Yu, whose entire body was blackened, unexpectedly expelled all the air and compressed it into a temporary state of absolute vacuum. In an instant, a tremendously gigantic set of three dragon claws formed, fiercely sending his entire White Scale Great Snake body flying out!
"Poof!!"
"What power is this?!"
Blood mixed with numbing neurotoxins sprayed frantically from the grim mouthparts. Orochimaru's true form of the White Scale Great Snake seemed to have been seized by enormous dragon claws, leaving behind a long trail in the Rock Forest.
"You persistent soul..."
"Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish and send you to your demise!!"
Before the enormous body could recover from being flung away, Yu's voice, as deep and eerie as a ghost, resounded once again from before him.
!
Boom!!
The entire air rippled and exploded outward, as the colossal body of the White Scale Great Snake was once again fiercely smashed away by Yu's strike.
Yu's entire blackened body surface faintly emitted a layer of blue lightning. In the state of activating the second stage of Armament Haki and then employing Lightning Body Flicker again, the speed erupted to a point where even Orochimaru, a Kage-level powerhouse, couldn't grasp it.
"Both speed and strength have increased so much..."
"This kid is simply a monster..."
The white body was almost shattered by Yu's blow. Orochimaru couldn't believe that in just two years, Yu's strength had improved so much compared to the last time they fought.
His eyes couldn't keep up with Yu's movements anymore. Despite the countless white snakes barely sensing Yu's lightning-fast movements around him, Orochimaru finally began to feel a hint of panic.
White Snake Touch!!
However, Orochimaru was, after all, a seasoned Kage-level ninja. Suppressing his astonishment, the surface of the White Scale Great Snake's body immediately released countless white snakes, swiftly winding through the air to capture Yu's body trajectory and bite at it.
Crackle!!
Five extremely sharp black threads sliced through the air, their terrifying power instantly severing the countless white snakes released by Orochimaru. It was evident that Yu's Observation Haki had already anticipated the movements of the White Scale Great Snake.
"If I'm not mistaken..."

"Was it Danzo who sent you here to tangle with me?"
As he spoke, Yu's blackened figure, accompanied by a dazzling flash of lightning, swiftly traversed through the Rock Forest surrounding Orochimaru. Utilizing the ability of SkyPath, Yu had filled the entire forest with invisible threads, then rapidly executed Body Flicker Jutsu between them, moving at a speed impossible to track.
Five-Colored Threads!!
Foot Shaving String!!
Moreover, every thread unleashed by the fully blackened Yu was imbued with the power of the second stage of Armament Haki. The immensely powerful strikes, one after another, sliced through Orochimaru's White Scale Great Snake's body, splattering the ground beneath with its grotesque snake blood.
"Cursed little brat... If I could get my hands on him..."
Under Yu's relentless assault, combined with the Devil Puppet's coordination, Orochimaru's White Scale Great Snake body was akin to a lone boat swaying in a storm, torn apart time and time again by Yu before it could even touch the ground.
Looking at Yu before him, devil-like, and sensing the near-perfect power emanating from the young man, Orochimaru's cold snake eyes couldn't help but once again burst with intense desire. "To turn him into a vessel for my Immortality Jutsu... Oh, what a wonderful thing that would be..."
Gurgling...
Once again, greed and possessive desire consumed Orochimaru's heart. Completely outmatched and overwhelmed by Yu, he finally unleashed all of his Chakra, causing countless white substances to bubble up from his body like bubbles.
"Is it the Eight Branches Jutsu again..."
Observation Haki sensed Orochimaru's Chakra erupting all at once, along with the white substances surging from his body. Yu knew all too well the intentions and goals of this individual, causing the muscles of his fully blackened body to tighten and tense up.
"Sorry, but I don't have much time to play with you this time."
Shunko!!
As soon as the words fell, it was as if a boundary within Yu's body was instantly shattered. The already immense Kage Chakra surged tenfold in this brief moment!
The surrounding air seemed unable to withstand such a sudden increase in Chakra, exploding like a hurricane that swept through the entire Rock Forest, sending nearby rubble flying!
When all the Chakra in his body reached its peak, a highly compressed Ninjutsu erupted fiercely, forming a pair of white lightning wings attached to Yu's shoulders and back.
Combined with the fully blackened Armament Haki covering his entire body, Yu appeared to be both divine and devilish, exuding an indescribable aura.
"What is that?!"
Orochimaru, who was about to unleash the Eight Branches Jutsu, suddenly faced the eruption of Shunko from Yu. Sensing an incomprehensibly vast Chakra appearing before him, his expression finally changed. "His Chakra... How is this possible?!"
"Surged so many times in an instant... I understand now!!"
Feeling as if he were being targeted by a primordial behemoth, Orochimaru's sinister snake-like face bore an indescribable expression of awe. "I finally understand! No wonder you, at such a young age, were able to kill the Hidden Cloud's strongest Third Raikage. So you've been hiding such a technique!!"
"Now that I know, it's not too late..."
Ignoring Orochimaru's shocked and greedy gaze, after activating Shunko, Yu, illuminated by the white lightning, appeared remarkably calm and serene. He gently raised a palm.
Boom!!
As Yu uttered the last word, everything before his eyes instantly turned to dust.
Just a punch, seemingly thrown casually by Yu, had directly blasted open a passage in the Rock Forest, with no end in sight, pulverizing and disintegrating everything in its path!
"Urgh!! This power..."
!
The massive body of the White Snake, almost turned into a mist of blood by Yu's punch, spewed blood wildly. Orochimaru, flying sideways in mid-air, lost focus in his eyes. "Such a seemingly casual punch produced an effect similar to an Air Cannon... This guy..."
"So..."
"Farewell, Orochimaru."
After activating Shunko, Yu's combat power surged tenfold. His vast Chakra instantly surpassed Kage level, entering the realm of Super Kage, yet his body remained unharmed and unburdened under the protection of Armament Haki's second stage covering his entire body.
With a light step, he swiftly caught up to Orochimaru, who was spewing blood, without the need for any Ninjutsu. Yu unleashed his own dominant and decisive Taijutsu.
