"You must be exhausted by now, Orochimaru!" Sakura Haruno was also slightly out of breath.

With Orochimaru's abilities, he shouldn't have been chased so badly by two S-rank Water Dragons... This is because suppressing the Second Hokage's resistance and manipulating his body to fight at full power consumed too much of his energy; moreover, his stamina is not inexhaustible!

The continuous use of super-advanced Ninjutsu also puts a great strain on physical strength. When Orochimaru used the super-level "Slithering Snake Step" just now, which summoned two giant serpents, Orochimaru actually began to feel a bit powerless!

Because of the Second Hokage's struggle, he used Impure World Reincarnation Tensei to summon Tobirama Senju. The combined power of the two Kage Level beings was not simply 1+1=, but rather...!

Of course, this is still easier than him facing Sakura Haruno alone; on the sea, as Water Release ninja, her strength is several times higher than usual, enough to crush him!

Just look at those amazing Ninjutsu...

The combined attack by Orochimaru and the Second Hokage had made Sakura Haruno feel extremely uncomfortable; but now, the Second Hokage has just been shattered and is still slowly recovering, and it's Orochimaru's turn to face her power head-on!

"Ice Clone?" Orochimaru's eyes swept coldly over the group of Sakura Haruno's followers who had surrounded him. His chest heaved as he breathed heavily, and he said coldly, "This kind of Ninjutsu..."

Are you looking at me?

Although he was in a sorry state and hadn't caught his breath yet, so he couldn't use his full strength for the moment, he was still someone that no one could easily handle with just his bare hands!

"No, I just happened to think of a tactic..." Sakura Haruno said calmly, pouring Chakra into the sea without regard for anything else, using the large chunks of ice that had just been blasted apart to create Ice Clone. She wanted to transform all the huge icebergs that had just shattered into clones in one go!

Orochimaru's pupils contracted, and without waiting for a moment, he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out the Kusanagi Sword. Under the stimulation of Secret Technique, the blade suddenly grew larger and extended to over a hundred meters long!

Swish, swish, swish!

With the Kusanagi Sword between his teeth, he swept it around, the sword shadow drawing a perfect fan shape in mid-air, the dazzling sword light blooming like fireworks under the sunlight; with a clang of metal on metal, the sharp blade cleaved a large circle of Ice Clone into ice shards, which fell to the ground, and the densely packed clones around him were instantly wiped out!

Sakura Haruno raised an eyebrow. "Here you go!"

She snorted coldly, and simultaneously activated the water threads in her hands. "Water Release: Super Water Gun Technique!"

The Water Gun Technique is characterized by its slightly lower power, but its extremely fast activation speed. At the same time that Orochimaru extended his Kusanagi Sword, the silver-white water line instantly slashed towards the unprepared Orochimaru, cutting him in two with a whoosh.

"Hmph..." Orochimaru's new body emerged from the severed corpse, and what greeted him was an endless sea of clones, their numbers restored once again! Hundreds of clones had died, but the number of Ice Clone had not decreased at all; on the contrary, it had increased: with Sakura's continuous supply of Chakra, the ice blocks floating in the sea continued to create these endless clones, surging madly toward Orochimaru.

At this moment, the first Ice Clone was already within reach!

Do ants kill elephants?

Orochimaru stared at his clone with a cold, murderous look in his eyes, then lay on the ground and suddenly opened his mouth to spit out something!

"Secret Technique: Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes!"

An endless sea of snakes versus an endless sea of clones!

Just then, the first Ice Clone rushed to Orochimaru's side; the moment its ice blade pierced Orochimaru, the latter casually killed it.

"This is it!" Sakura Haruno's eyes narrowed; she had already seen an opportunity to implement her tactics. She quickly Hand Seals!

"Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals!"

Whoosh—using the first Ice Clone as Body Flicker Technique, the girl appeared in front of Orochimaru!

"Ice Body Flicker Technique again?" The snake-eyed man had expected this. "I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

The moment he spoke, Orochimaru suddenly thrust out his Kusanagi Sword. The sword flashed and became a blur, piercing the girl's chest in the next instant. She seemed to have no time to react before the blade passed right through her chest!

"What happened...?" Orochimaru was stunned. Sakura Haruno was killed so easily?

Of course not.

Crackling sounds...

Sakura's figure transformed into an ice block, becoming Ice Clone! At the same time, using the remains of two clones in front of Orochimaru as a medium, two new clones Body Flicker Technique appeared in front of Orochimaru!

With two swift sword strikes, Orochimaru's attack was as fast as lightning, instantly slaying the Ice Clone the moment they appeared; however, he had already realized that something was wrong...

Then, the third wave of Body Flicker Technique appeared in front of him were four clones!

The Kusanagi Sword rapidly extended and swelled, flashing with a sharp light, and with a whoosh, it sliced through the air, annihilating all the clones;

The fourth wave of Ice Clone, eight in total, Body Flicker Technique appeared in front of Orochimaru!

"Ice Release: Mutually Multiplying Ice Clone Technique!"

Sakura Haruno's lips curled into a slight smile!

After incorporating Yin Release into Ice Release, even with only a rudimentary application, it can already produce all sorts of strange variations!

By incorporating Yin Release Nature Transformation into Ice Clone and imbuing them with more spiritual power, the clones can become more intelligent and spiritual. Not only can their duration be extended and their autonomy increased, but the Ice Clone can also use more Ninjutsu.

For example, Ice Body Flicker Technique.

This technique requires mental power to locate spacetime coordinates. The Ice Clone of the past could not be used, but after using Yin Release to infuse mental power into the Ice Clone, the clones gained the ability to Body Flicker Technique!

After the first Ice Clone rushed forward, only one clone used his body to Body Flicker Technique in the first wave. The second wave had two, then four, eight, sixteen, thirty-two...

By the tenth wave, there were already 512 clones!

If we don't find a way to stop it, the enemy will be overwhelmed by the clones that Body Flicker Technique in just a few seconds!

Next, whether you use clones to attack or detonate them, both are good tactics for attrition warfare.

This is the Mutually Multiplying Ice Clone Technique, inspired by the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags!

"If we can't finish this quickly, we'll wear you down with this tactic!" Sakura Haruno sneered as she watched Orochimaru engulfed in a sea of clones!

As the fourth wave of eight clones charged in, Orochimaru realized the problem and leaped up, shouting, "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

The fireball was spat out of Orochimaru's mouth, growing larger in the wind, and instantly expanding into a giant fireball that vaporized the clone along with the ice on the ground!

However, the other clones weren't idle during this time: the sea of snakes created by Orochimaru was cut into bloody paths by the more agile Ice Clone. Even if they managed to kill one clone with their numerical advantage, they would then have to face the clone's self-destruction technique. Often, a single boom would clear out an area of snakes.

Faced with the relentless attacks of clones and self-destruction, the snake swarm quickly shrank. The endless snake tide receded like the tide, rapidly drying up and drying up, leaving only fragments of broken snakes that fell into the sea and disappeared without a trace.

The Ice Clone, using a Body Flicker Technique attack, drew Orochimaru's attention from the front. Meanwhile, clones from the sides and back rushed forward, three of them simultaneously wielding ice blades at Orochimaru. At the same time, new clones were teleported over using the Body Flicker Technique!

"Hmph, this is troublesome..."

Orochimaru sensed the change behind his head, and his expression grew even more somber.

"My power has declined to such an extent that even my clones have become a threat!" he thought coldly to himself.

He used his Water Substitution, instantly swapping positions with the Water Clone not far away. Orochimaru was originally in the water clones, was killed by the clones and turned into a puddle of water. Meanwhile, Orochimaru was still unable to escape the area where the Ice Clone were distributed. As soon as the Substitution Technique was completed, Ice Clone noticed the disturbance, turned around and slashed down at Orochimaru's head!

Orochimaru didn't even glance at her, slashing down with his sword. In a flash, the sword cut the clone and its sword in two. He was already Hand Seals, preparing for his next Water Substitution; then, as expected, the girl's figure Body Flicker Technique reappeared beside the ice block.

Dealing with these clones is effortless when they are single; it's only when there are many of them that they become a headache.

Orochimaru, still reckless, swung his sword down, the sharp Kusanagi Sword drawing a perfect arc, seemingly about to reap another clone. Then, with a snap, Orochimaru was startled; his wrist had been grabbed by the newcomer!

"This is the real person!" His pupils constricted!

He instinctively wanted to use the Substitution Technique!

However, Sakura was even faster. She grabbed Orochimaru's sword-wielding wrist with her left hand and thrust out her short sword with her right. The butterfly short sword was incredibly fast, instantly cutting Orochimaru in two!

Who would have thought that Sakura Haruno would use Ice Clone to perform a teleportation Body Flicker Technique? Orochimaru was caught off guard and took the full force of her horizontal slash, his attempt to escape the clones' pursuit vanishing instantly. This delay allowed more Ice Clone to Body Flicker Technique to the scene, wielding short swords and longswords in unison, slicing Orochimaru's corpse into several pieces.

Before more clones could appear, the corpse's mouth suddenly opened, and Orochimaru launched an attack from within, his Kusanagi Sword stabbing fiercely at Sakura Haruno's true form in front of him.

However, Sakura Haruno, having already landed her first blow, had already swapped positions with her Ice Clone nearby using her Substitution Technique; Orochimaru's sudden attack only pierced the clone's head!

Sakura Haruno, standing to the side, sneered. A large amount of Chakra gathered around her, creating a whirlwind that gently blew her long hair behind her head.

"Ice Release: Mutually Multiplying Ice Clone Explosion Technique!"

"Drink!" the girl shouted, unleashing her full power in the clone explosion technique.

The clones Orochimaru had killed, was about to kill, and hadn't yet discovered all exploded in an instant, manipulated by Sakura's Chakra!

Boom boom boom boom--

A series of explosions rang out! The terrifying aspect of this Ninjutsu is that the Ice Clone can endlessly Body Flicker Technique and explode until all the clones Sakura has created are completely consumed!
