An Asymmetrical Battle!

Sasuke's eyes turned bloodshot the instant Orochimaru charged at him. Two crimson tomoe-like Tomoe began to spin wildly outside his widened pupils!

Within the Sharingan's vision, all movements slowed down, and Orochimaru's eerie movements became traceable under Sasuke's powerful dynamic vision.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh--

He calmly took out several Kunai and shot them swiftly toward Orochimaru's inevitable path!

Puff puff puff--

The sound of Kunai piercing the ground filled the air. Orochimaru, advancing at breakneck speed, deftly dodged Sasuke's seemingly inevitable attack with a few nimble turns, arriving before Sasuke with a twisted smile!

Hmph! Facing Orochimaru's attack, Sasuke sneered. Although he was surprised that Orochimaru could dodge his Kunai, he was unaware of the names of the Sannin. However, he still trusted his comrade and believed that the other person would stop Orochimaru's attack!

Bang!

Fists clashed violently! Fists collided, and the girl unleashed terrifying power in an instant, actually sending Orochimaru, one of the Sannin Orochimaru, flying! Relying on the power and speed brought by her Nintaijutsu, the girl leaped up, caught up with Orochimaru, twisted in mid-air, the power originating from her shoulders, amplified by the rotation of her slender waist, and swung her long legs to her toes, striking Orochimaru hard in the calm blue eyes of the girl!

With a sharp crack, Orochimaru's left arm, which he used to block the attack, bent from a straight line into an obtuse angle under the undeniable force; immediately afterward, Orochimaru was kicked by the girl and slammed hard to the ground, creating a crater!

That's not enough! The girl knew Orochimaru's power all too well. These injuries were probably nothing more than a drop in the ocean for him!

Water Release: Super Water Gun Technique!

Sakura's fair feet floated in the air on clumps of water, and without hesitation, she used her strongest Ninjutsu to press her advantage against the enemy on the ground!

The transparent waterline descended, slicing Orochimaru's body and the soil as easily as cutting butter!

"Any results?" Sasuke frowned. Sakura jumped down from mid-air, staring intently at the corpse on the ground, now broken in two and devoid of Chakra. She seemed relieved, but secretly became more vigilant.

Orochimaru couldn't possibly be killed by me so easily... No, it's questionable whether my attack even caused him any damage! So, what will the next wave of attacks be like? Sakura wondered to herself.

The next moment, a frenzied surge of Chakra emanated from underground, and the girl's expression changed drastically; bursting forth from the ground were four enormous snakes!

Sakura couldn't help but swallow hard when stared at by the giant snake's eight basketball-sized orange eyes.

Hey, that's a foul size!

The standoff lasted less than two seconds before a giant snake, unable to contain its murderous intent, opened its massive jaws, revealing fangs as thick as a girl's thigh, and viciously lunged at her, creating a stench!

Bang! The girl's figure suddenly vanished from the giant snake's sight. Before its sluggish head could react, it crashed to the ground. In the next instant, the girl landed on the giant snake's head, and with a swift slash of water from her hand, easily severed the snake's head!

"Tch! All that massive size, and he's just a useless bum with no fighting ability!" Sakura's lips curled into a slight smile, her mind settling down slightly.

The giant snake's headless corpse was still convulsing wildly, spraying foul-smelling blood. The remaining three snakes, aroused by the blood, also launched an attack on Sakura!

"Are you... in such a hurry to die?"

With a leap, she landed on the giant snake's head. A sharp ice blade appeared in her hand, its tip gleaming with azure Chakra —the purest wind-style Chakra was condensing!

With a swift movement, the knife fell.

The second hideous snake head fell blankly from the sky, and another headless giant snake was now convulsing and thrashing wildly in the forest!

The girl leaped away again, stepping on the water spheres and making several light changes of direction in the air. Her body fluttered like a butterfly, quickly pulling the two clumsy giant snakes chasing behind her, as well as Orochimaru in the distance, into a straight line!

Water Release: Super Water Cannon Technique!

In the air, the girl's Chakra fluctuated violently, and a super-powerful Water Blade Technique shot out from her hand! The water line pierced through and severed the giant snake's body at more than seven times the speed of sound, and one second later, it cut Orochimaru, who had reappeared not far away, into two pieces!

A series of rumbling sounds echoed through the forest as the water jets sliced through it. Looking down from above, the lush forest suddenly appeared much shorter!

"Sakura is amazing!" Naruto's voice came from below. Covered in blood, he had fought a fierce battle before finally killing the giant snake that had attacked first.

"Is it resolved?" Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief.

When Sakura was entangled by the giant snake, he was also forced to face that strange ninja one-on-one. Although he managed to outmaneuver his opponent using the Sharingan's unique throwing technique, "Manipulating Windmill Triple Blades," and burned the strange ninja, a feeling inside him told him that his opponent didn't seem to care about the damage he had caused!

Is this guy a freak? But even if he is, he should be dead by now, right?

"Can't you feel it yet...? This Chakra! The battle has only just begun!"

As she fell from the sky, Sakura frowned, staring intently at Orochimaru's body, which was split in two, and whispered!

Suddenly, the mangled body on the ground opened its mouth wide, and a soaking wet figure crawled out from the half-corpse. After shaking for a moment, Orochimaru reappeared unharmed before the three of them.

Sasuke and Naruto were stunned. "This... this is too outrageous! All the previous injuries are gone! It's like he's a completely different person! What kind of Ninjutsu is this?!"

"It looks like he only used a lot of Chakra to recover from a potentially fatal injury; he's practically immortal!" Sakura murmured. "How am I supposed to fight him...?"

"You two ghosts are really getting in the way. Looks like I'll have to get rid of you first...!"

Orochimaru's expression was extremely grim; he seemed... about to get serious! His chilling gaze made Sakura, who had become accustomed to his murderous aura, tremble involuntarily!

"Hey! Don't underestimate me, you sticky jerk!" Naruto said solemnly, "I'm not so easy to deal with!"

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!" He released a large amount of Chakra, instantly summoning hundreds of Shadow Clones. The vast crowd immediately filled the open space, creating a spectacular scene!

Then, hundreds of Shadow Clone Hand Seals together—

"Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique!"

The sheer power of hundreds of Shadow Clone unleashing their Ninjutsu simultaneously!

Although the Wind Cutter Technique is just a simple level-one Ninjutsu, when hundreds of Wind Cutter are released simultaneously, they converge into a vast and mighty swarm of wind blades! In an instant, wind blades danced wildly, the wind howled, sand and stones flew, and countless wind blades, with overwhelming force, shredded the giant trees and rocks along the way, rushing towards Orochimaru without stopping!

"This amount of Chakra... interesting!" Facing the raging wind blades, Orochimaru remained unfazed, calmly forming hand Hand Seals.

"Summoning Technique: Rashomon!"
