Chapter 247:
Although Orochimaru was powerful, he couldn't recklessly storm an enemy village.
An enemy's base camp was filled with secret passages, hidden traps, and most critically, sealing techniques.
While Orochimaru feared no shinobi, seals and barriers were an entirely different matter.
In the ninja world, the most miraculous and dangerous power wasn't ninjutsu, taijutsu, or genjutsu.
It wasn't forbidden jutsu or summoning techniques either.
It was sealing techniques.
Seals were a form of power that defied conventional logic.
They didn't require immense strength to wield and were, in fact, the most efficient way for a weaker ninja to defeat someone stronger.
No matter how powerful a shinobi was, if they were caught in a seal, the outcome was the same: they would be trapped, rendered powerless.
