Chapter 108: Orochimaru Bet on the Name of the Three Ninjas Orochimaru is a person who loves to laugh. Although his smile is very evil, he doesn't look like a good person at first glance. But no matter what situation he finds himself in, he always seems to be able to laugh it off. In the original work, even when he was defeated by Uchiha Itachi in one move and his arm was cut off, forcing him into a desperate situation, he was still able to grin and laugh wildly. But now, he was rarely able to laugh. No matter how desperate the situation is, Orochimaru can always face it fearlessly with a big smile. But when his companions are in a dead end, he will feel powerless and find it difficult to smile. The last time he felt so powerless seemed to be during the last war, when he watched Rope Tree being blown to death in front of him. That time he realized the fragility of life. And now, he seemed to have realized again the fragility of the bond.
Teammates who had known each other for so many years turned against each other so easily. People often say that the end of reason is immorality, and Orochimaru has already embarked on this path. The last bit of cherishment for his companions is one of the few ropes that can still tie him down. But now, another rope is about to break. "Slug, take Tsunade and leave first." After losing his smile, Orochimaru's tone even became more sinister. "Yes, then I wish you good luck in martial arts, Lord Orochimaru." The slug's answer was as polite as ever. The next moment, the giant slug that was more than ten meters tall suddenly disintegrated, splitting into countless large and small slug offspring, and fled in all directions. Among them were many medium-sized slugs, about five or six meters long, large enough to swallow an adult. Mixed in with them, it was impossible to tell where Tsunade was hiding. At the same time, Orochimaru jumped down and rushed towards Shiba Kiyokawa and his group alone again! Doing so was not only to cover Tsunade's departure, but also a last attempt to rescue his old teammate Hiruko. No matter how much Orochimaru did to harm Konoha in the future in the original work, at least at this moment, he was worthy of the title of Konoha's commander! One of Kakuzu's masked monsters was the first to react. "Thunder Escape·Pseudo Darkness!" Sharp spears of lightning shot out from the mouth of the lightning-masked monster, shooting at Orochimaru from both left and right angles at the same time. But the next moment Orochimaru suddenly turned into a snake and dived into the water, immediately avoiding the move. Previously, the water terrain created by Shiba Kiyokawa using the "Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique" was now utilized by Orochimaru first. With the title of the Three Ninjas at stake, Orochimaru is really going all out this time! "Ten Thousand Snakes Formation!" Before Orochimaru, who had dived into the water, showed up, a group of snakes had already jumped up and started dancing wildly! Except for Konan who had been in the sky and had not come down, Shiba Kiyokawa, Kakuzu and Yekura all jumped up to avoid it.
After Ye Cang jumped up, he controlled the fireball behind him and smashed it towards the group of snakes, instantly steaming one poisonous snake after another into black, curly spicy strips. In a sense, Ye Cang's Scorch Release can restrain Orochimaru. After all, the biological structure of snakes is still carbon-based life. Unless Orochimaru makes another breakthrough in technology in the future and develops a new life form that is not afraid of dehydration. But at this moment, Orochimaru no longer cared about the loss of the snake group. He used this move to force everyone back and quickly swam to Bei Liu Hu. He was cautious and did not approach him. Instead, he used a swimming snake to fly up and bite Bei Liu Hu's neck, helping him to remove the illusion. "Idiot, go!" Orochimaru said angrily. Hiruhu was still struggling, "Where's Tsunade? Is she still watching?" Orochimaru didn't say anything, he just half emerged from the water and gave Higurashi a murderous look. The look in his eyes clearly warned me that my tolerance for idiots was limited. Beiliuhu was shocked by the murderous intent, and his mind suddenly became much clearer. Then Orochimaru summoned another long snake, bit the back of Hirudo's neck, and swung him backwards with force, throwing him dozens of meters away, directly helping Hirudo make his choice physically. But because of this delay, he himself was trapped in a tight siege. Konan's paper spear fell from the sky, forcing Orochimaru to move like a snake, drifting in a zigzag shape on the water. Immediately afterwards, Kakuzu's wind-style masked monster also performed ninjutsu. "Wind Escape·Press!" The high-pressure hurricane drained the surrounding accumulated water, exposing Orochimaru completely in the center of the eye of the storm. Then a water arrow shot out! That is exactly Shiba Kiyokawa's "Water Style: Water Instant Body Technique"! The water arrow turned back into its original form the moment it was about to be intercepted by the snake's mouth. The blade was wrapped with the remaining water flow, and the splashing water reflected colorful ripples in the sunlight, just like a katana dragging a rainbow-colored blade light, cutting off all the intercepting poisonous snakes with one blow, and went straight to Orochimaru's face! At the critical moment of life and death, Orochimaru opened his mouth and the Kusanagi sword spurted out of his mouth, forcibly deflecting Shiba Kiyokawa's katana. However, the deflected sword still cut down diagonally from the shoulder, tearing a long bloody wound on the front of Orochimaru's collar! The battle has lasted for such a long time, and it has entered the second round. With the help of his teammates, Shiba Kiyokawa finally hurt Orochimaru for the first time! But even so, the next moment, several poisonous snakes suddenly jumped out from Orochimaru's side without any warning, forcing Shiba Kiyokawa to draw his sword to protect himself. Then Orochimaru once again used the advantage of his lower body turning into a snake and swam backwards quickly to a distance, spewing a large amount of poisonous mist from his mouth to prevent Ye Cang from approaching from the other direction. It has been more than half a year since he traveled to the Ninja World, and Orochimaru is definitely the most slick opponent that Shiba Kiyokawa has ever encountered! Even if you can gain the advantage temporarily, it will be extremely difficult to expand the advantage and kill him. Not to mention that a temporary death never means the end for Orochimaru. Fortunately, Shiba Kiyokawa’s purpose was not to kill the other party. When Orochimaru finally used his snake skin to swim back to Okunoki, grabbed this useless teammate and prepared to leave, suddenly, when his blood accidentally dripped onto Okunoki's body, something strange happened! The blood seemed to have suddenly unlocked some kind of seal on Beiliuhu's body. In an instant, his body began to deform on a large scale, and white spore tumors began to emerge from his shoulders, neck, chest and abdomen. These spore tumors multiplied rapidly, and in a blink of an eye they almost submerged Beiliuhu's original body. Orochimaru punctured a spore tumor, but to his surprise, what came out was neither pus nor blood. It was a bunch of runaway branches that almost stabbed Orochimaru like a sword.
"Wood Release?!" Orochimaru quickly retreated and avoided the piercing of the tree spear. Then he turned to look at Shiba Kiyokawa not far away and immediately saw the problem. "What did you feed him?!" Orochimaru's research skills are among the best in the entire ninja world. He never needs to ask like a fool "what is this". With just a little observation, he can see through Shiba Kiyokawa's methods. The opponent should have used Hiruko's forbidden technique: the Demon Gera Technique, to force Hiruko to swallow something strange during the illusion hypnosis. However, to Orochimaru's surprise, the next moment, Shiba Kiyokawa did not lie or make any excuses, but threw the thing over very directly. "This is a substance taken from a creature called White Zetsu. Are you interested? I have a lot of it here." (End of this chapter)
