Naruto: Reborn as Orochimaru

Chapter 336

In the ninja world, only the leaders of the five great nations' villages are entitled to the title of "Kage."

Star Ninja Village, with a population of just a few hundred people and barely over a hundred ninjas, dared to call its leader "Hoshikage."

This title made Orochimaru feel rather amused.

It was reminiscent of a certain memory of a nation far larger in size that claimed dominance over its neighbors and boasted a long, exaggerated history. Everything was supposedly theirs, and they acted as though one day the whole world would belong to them. It was shameless.

"What's your name?" Orochimaru asked as they walked forward.

"Hotaru Hoshi," the young man answered honestly.

It was clear he had no idea who Orochimaru was or why he had come to the village. But he understood one thing—Orochimaru was not someone he could handle, so all he could do was observe and bide his time.

"Hotaru Hoshi?"

"That's right!" Hotaru said proudly. After a moment, curiosity overcame him. "What was that ability you just used? Controlling plants?"

"Controlling plants?" Orochimaru didn't respond, but Mei scoffed. "Your country is so isolated, you don't even know about Wood Release?"

While Kirigakure didn't have detailed intel on Orochimaru's Wood Release, they had heard that Konoha had many users of this technique during the war.

Furthermore, Orochimaru's reputation for scientific re

"What?!"

"How do you know so much about our village's techniques?"

"Who... Who are you?"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes. "Are we really going to waste time with more questions?"

The Susanoo dispersed with a faint hum, and before the star ninjas could react, Orochimaru moved.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the blink of an eye, several star ninjas collapsed to the ground, vines erupting from the earth to bind their limbs.

In an instant, five or six ninjas were subdued, leaving only the Hoshikage and Hotaru Mars standing.

The Third Hoshikage was terrified. Orochimaru hadn't even used his Flying Thunder God technique, yet his speed was unmatched.

The star ninjas, so focused on their Peacock Magic, were utterly helpless in close combat.

"I'll say this one last time," Orochimaru said coldly. "I have no interest in your lives. Take me to see the star you use for training. If not, I won't hesitate to kill you all."

The Third Hoshikage's face was pale as he nodded nervously. "Y-You are a guest, and I wouldn't dare neglect you. Shall we... perhaps have a meal first?"
