Naruto: Reborn as Orochimaru
Chapter 394

Madara was unable to recover after being kicked by Guy!

After casting Infinite Tsukuyomi, he had focused all his attention on Orochimaru.

Because of this, Black Zetsu was able to ambush him successfully!

Once Black Zetsu succeeded, he didn't hesitate, he immediately activated the resurrection process.

He had waited too long for this moment.

At that very moment, the resurrected Kaguya launched an attack on Orochimaru.

Orochimaru dodged, but Kaguya's assault didn't stop—her long white hair lashed out at him again and again.

This time, Orochimaru did not evade.

Instead, he transformed a Truth-Seeking Orb into a massive shield in front of him.

Da da da!

Kaguya's hair struck the shield, producing repeated, echoing impacts.

Impenetrable. Indestructible.

No matter how powerful Kaguya was, her hair could not break through the defense of the Truth-Seeking Orb.

Realizing this, Kaguya halted her attack—at least for the moment.

Orochimaru's shield cracked slightly, allowing him to peer through the opening.

Beyond it, the sphere formed by the God Tree was still shrinking, while Kaguya's hair continued growing longer.

As the sphere contracted further, it gradually took the form of a woman!

Her features became clearer and clearer, until.

She was fully reborn.

A woman dressed in flowing white robes, with silver hair cascading like a waterfall.

Her face was pale, as if she hadn't seen sunlight in centuries.

Her gray pupils, blood-red lips, and the two crimson dots between her brows unmistakably revealed her identity.

Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

A goddess with many titles.

According to legend, she was the incarnation of the God Tree, the true form of the Ten-Tails, the creator of the shinobi world, and the ancestor of chakra.

She was the first and only person to simultaneously possess the three great dōjutsu:

The Byakugan, Rinnegan, and Sharingan.

It was no exaggeration to call her the strongest being in the shinobi world, as she alone could wield the Bloodline Selection technique.

She possessed an ability known as All-Killing Ash Bones.

Even Naruto, empowered by the Six Paths, could not save anyone struck by those bones.

From that fact alone, one could imagine just how powerful she was!

At this point, some might argue.

"But Uchiha Madara has more combat experience! He grew up during the Warring States period! Doesn't that make him stronger than Kaguya?"

To that, Orochimaru had one thing to say:

"Are these people idiots?"

Madara was just a human.

No matter how much combat experience he had—how could he ever compare to a god?

A human is still a human.

No amount of battle experience could compensate for the difference in power between a human and a deity.

Even though Six Paths Madara had mastered the power of the Six Paths, it was still only the power of the Six Paths!

Back then, the Sage of Six Paths and his brother Hamura fought against Kaguya together for several months before they finally managed to seal her away.

And later—when she returned.

She almost killed both Naruto and Sasuke, even though they had both inherited the power of the Six Paths!

And yet, some people dared to claim Kaguya had no real combat ability?!

Meanwhile, how did Madara fare in his battles?

Not only was he nearly killed by Guy's Eight Gates Released Formation, but even when he fought Naruto and Sasuke, he struggled despite also possessing the power of the Six Paths.

What could he possibly do against Kaguya?

A being that could not be killed and could only be sealed could never be weaker than Uchiha Madara.

The only reason Kaguya was ultimately sealed was because.

Someone forcibly activated her plot-induced stupidity.

They inflicted her with mental retardation, weakness debuffs, slowness debuffs, and countless other plot-induced handicaps.

That was the only reason she lost!

She stood still while getting attacked, and in the end, she was even ambushed by a sixteen-year-old girl.

A girl who had never once wielded the power of the Six Paths.

Yes.

You read that correctly.

She was ambushed by Sakura!

Her Byakugan, the purest among the Ōtsutsuki, somehow failed to detect Sakura.

Her Rinne Sharingan, capable of casting Infinite Tsukuyomi, somehow couldn't sense Sakura's sneak attack.

Her perception abilities, as the Ancestor of Chakra, seemingly vanished into thin air.

For that one absurd moment, all her powers disappeared.

Allowing Sakura to punch her in the head, after which Naruto and Sasuke forcibly sealed her away.

Every time Orochimaru recalled this, he couldn't help but scoff.

Even if Sakura inherited Tsunade's abilities, she was not at the level of a Kage.

Yet she somehow managed to land a decisive blow on Kaguya?

What kind of nonsense was that?

And the most ridiculous part?

Naruto and Sasuke, combined, were just the equivalent of one Sage of Six Paths.

How could one Sage of Six Paths defeat and seal Kaguya when even Hagoromo teamed up with Hamura to do it?

It made absolutely no sense!

Back then, Hagoromo and Hamura had fought Kaguya for months before they sealed her away.

Yet Naruto and Sasuke, who had only obtained their Six Paths powers mere hours ago, somehow mastered them perfectly and executed a flawless sealing technique?

And the entire fight lasted less than half a day?!

Absolutely outrageous.

Based on all the intelligence and analysis, Orochimaru had every reason to believe.

Kaguya was far stronger than Six Paths Madara.

Not only was she stronger—she was vastly superior.

This was the conclusion Orochimaru reached long before he decided to revive Kaguya.

---

Orochimaru watched Kaguya from a distance.

The newly resurrected Kaguya scanned her surroundings with her gray eyes, her gaze sharp enough to pierce the soul.

Her expression shifted slightly as she noticed the battlefield.

A canyon that had been flattened by the previous battle.

Apart from Black Zetsu, the only person present was a white-haired man in white robes.

Her gaze locked onto him.

"Was it you who resurrected me?"

Her cold tone carried a divine presence, a voice laced with an undeniable authority.

A pressure that seemed to shake Orochimaru's very soul.

"Yes."

Orochimaru reformed his shield, turning it back into a Truth-Seeking Orb and letting it float behind him.

A faint smirk crossed his lips.

Despite the immense pressure Kaguya exuded, he showed not a hint of hesitation.

In fact—

At this very moment, he gained a new understanding of Kaguya's power.

She was indeed absurdly strong far beyond expectations.

Kaguya narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Since you resurrected me… you must know who I am."

"So—die."

Without another word, Kaguya's rage surged.

And her hair lashed out once more, sharp as a thousand blades!

"Tch. So aggressive."
