Chapter 291 - 290 : First Meeting With Orochimaru!!
Boom—
Just as Hayashi was about to retreat, a terrifying force suddenly surged forward!
In an instant, he was blasted backward by the overwhelming power. As his body flew through the air, a vine shot out and grew wildly, wrapping around him and stopping his movement mid-air.
"Not bad at all," Hayashi muttered, interest flashing in his eyes as he looked at Jūgo’s attack.
But Jūgo had clearly lost control. Eyes filled with bloodlust, he charged again like a madman, his sanity completely gone.
"Hmm? Something’s wrong... he’s practically lost his mind," Hayashi said to himself, already grasping the situation after a brief clash.
Jūgo couldn’t seem to control his power—or his mind—during combat.
No wonder Genya had only mentioned him in passing. A berserker who can’t even control himself has no real potential. How can someone like that become strong?
Even in his current rampage, his strength only slightly surpassed Hayashi’s base form. Not to mention the Eight Gates—Hayashi didn’t even need that. With just the Yin Seal, he could easily defeat this version of Jūgo.
"Vine Bind."
With a quiet whisper, Hayashi manipulated the vines to entangle Jūgo.
