"Pocket!"
Orochimaru yelled and threw the unconscious Sasuke to Kabuto Yakushi, signaling Kabuto Yakushi to take Sasuke and leave first.
Kabuto Yakushi has no Cursed Seal and was severely injured by the Tailed Beast Bomb. Even with his special physique, he has little fighting power now.
"Vomit--"
Orochimaru opened his mouth, first extending two hands from inside, stretching his mouth to an enormous size, and then a drenched Orochimaru emerged from it.
Orochimaru-Style Body Replacement Technique is like stinky tofu—it smells terrible, but tastes delicious.
This move may look disgusting, but it's incredibly effective.
Orochimaru had by this time recovered from all his injuries.
Hinata gathered Chakra Fist, then, after thinking for a moment, she infused Natural Energy into Chakra Fist, but did not enter Sage Mode.
Orochimaru was, after all, one of the Legendary Sannin, so he could be considered a formidable opponent.
On the other side, Kabuto Yakushi took Sasuke and quickly fled.
Shikamaru roared, "Stop him!"
As he spoke, Shikamaru half-squatted, his hands rapidly Hand Seals, and the shadow beneath his feet extended toward Kimimaro at an extremely fast speed.
Kimimaro's eyes narrowed slightly. He dodged the shadows with several backward leaps, but his body remained in the way of Kabuto Yakushi's inevitable path.
Choji and Shikamaru worked together seamlessly, with Shikamaru slightly shifting his body to shield Shikamaru from the enemy's attack.
Just as Ya and Rock Lee were about to rush up, Kimimaro straightened up with his ten fingers.
"Shikotsumyaku - Ten Finger Nukes!"
The finger bone shot towards Shikamaru like a bullet.
In ninja battles, support ninjas like Shikamaru, who seem to have little offensive power, are the second most likely targets to be killed, after medical-nin.
Shikamaru yelled, "Choji, get out of the way!"
Choji can't block this kind of attack!
Rock Lee and Kiba tried to bypass Kimimaro to pursue Sasuke, but Kimimaro blocked their way, and the three of them immediately engaged in battle.
As for Hinata's battle, it was far more brutal than Kimimaro's.
Although Naruto is not as strong as he will be three years from now, the one controlling Naruto's body right now is the ancient monster Nine-Tails).
'Boom--'
The Nine-Tails was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch. Hinata only saw a flash of red light before Orochimaru was blasted into the ruins of Otogakure by the Nine-Tails.
Even the aftershock of Orochimaru being sent flying left a long trail on the ground...
Hinata remembered that in the Original Story, Jiraiya come very close to death twice.
The first time was when he spied on Tsunade taking a bath at a hot spring resort. Teuchi six of his ribs, fractured both arms, and ruptured several internal organs.
The second time, he was severely injured by a single blow from Naruto in his Four-Tails form.
Hinata glanced at Nine-Tails.
It already has five tails...
Hinata looked into the ruins and saw that Orochimaru had been beaten so badly that he was barely recognizable as a human. He could only barely open his mouth and spit out another Orochimaru.
Orochimaru stared coldly at Nine-Tails and Hinata. He had already exhausted a lot of Chakra by using the Orochimaru-Style Body Replacement Technique twice in a row.
Moreover, Orochimaru's body was newly acquired, and his soul had not yet fully adapted, so there was still a slight rejection of the body.
Orochimaru at this point couldn't even unleash 70% of his full strength.
Hinata was about to rush forward and confront Orochimaru head-on, a massive wave of Chakra swept over her, forcing Hinata to raise her hand to block it.
Under the Byakugan's gaze, Nine-Tails actually managed to condense another Tailed Beast Bomb.
Just now, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) waved its hand and pushed Hinata -air.
Having finally managed to venture out for a while, Nine-Tails) decided to make the world remember Nine-Tails immense power once again.
Art is the Tailed Beast Bomb!
"Hooohoohoohoohoo—"
The powerful shockwave Hinata lose her balance, and even the battle on Kimimaro's side was affected, with everyone turning their attention to Nine-Tails.
Orochimaru's gaze turned serious; he had already witnessed the power of the Tailed Beast Bomb once.
That thing is extremely dangerous!
Even someone as near-immortal as Orochimaru would have absolutely no chance of survival if he were to be hit head-on by a single attack!
The Chakra density of the Tailed Beast Bomb is too high.
Orochimaru quickly bit the fingers on both hands.
"Ninja Art - Triple Rashomon!"
"Boom!"
The massive shockwave from the explosion sent Hinata, Kimimaro, and the others flying backward in an instant.
Even though Hinata is powerful, she is still shaken by this inhuman attack.
The Nine-Tails is truly powerful.
The Tailed Beast Bomb in the manga seems weak, but in reality, it has immense destructive power. It is a highly compressed Chakra ball, and the power at the center of the explosion can almost vaporize a person in an instant.
Even though Orochimaru has a body that is practically immortal, once all the cells in his body are vaporized, there is absolutely no chance of him escaping unscathed.
Hinata could see it clearly.
Although the Triple Rashomon were completely shattered, they still managed to block some of the power of the Tailed Beast Bomb explosion.
Orochimaru is still alive.
And he can even use Ninjutsu now!
Hinata had to admit how terrifying Orochimaru was.
By changing bodies, Orochimaru is now able to use some Ninjutsu.
Even if he can't return to his peak condition, once Orochimaru's soul and body stop rejecting him, he can at least recover to 80% or 90% of his strength.
But none of that matters.
The most important thing is Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation!
Impure World Reincarnation is truly dangerous.
Orochimaru lay sprawled on the ground and suddenly opened his mouth.
One by one, small snakes crawled out of Orochimaru's mouth, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a sea of snakes, surging towards the Nine-Tails like ocean waves.
Nine-Tails- Tails raised its hands high, then slammed them to the ground.
'Boom!'
The explosive shockwaves swept in all directions.
The Chakra shockwave generated by just a wave of his hand directly shattered Orochimaru's Myriad Snake Formation.
Hinata felt that she had no room to intervene at all.
It's not that Orochimaru is too strong, but rather that the Nine-Tails' attack range is too large.
If Hinata rushes in now, Hinata might die from the Nine-Tails' attack before even engaging Orochimaru.
Hinata glanced at the battle on Kimimaro's side.
Shikamaru, Choji, Rock Lee, and Kiba worked together very well, and with the Nine-Tails Chakra protecting them, they were able to hold on for a while.
However, Kimimaro had already activated the Curse Mark Stage 1, and even with Shikamaru and the other three joining forces, they were still forced into a disadvantageous position by Kimimaro.
Hinata shouted at Nine-Tails, "Little Fox, Orochimaru is all yours now. I'm going to fight that guy who plays with bones!"
"Roar!"
"Leave this place to me!"
Nine-Tails seemed somewhat excited.
Hinata nodded slightly and quickly rushed towards Kimimaro.
Once Kimimaro enters the Curse Mark Stage 2 state, Shikamaru and the others will likely have a hard time dealing with him.
Hinata glanced back at the battle involving Nine-Tails.
The Chakra shockwave that Nine-Tails just unleashed is actually quite similar to some of the Hyuga Clan's techniques.
Both involve directly unleashing Chakra that has been condensed to its maximum to attack the opponent.
However, the Nine-Tails 'Chakra is too vast, and its density and quality are too high, far beyond what ordinary ninjas can match.
That is why the Nine-Tails' techniques appear so incredibly powerful.
In essence, the Nine-Tails' techniques are not much different from those of the Hyuga Clan.
The Nine-Tails Fox is an ancient fox spirit who has lived for thousands of years.
Hinata wondered if she could learn some Chakra usage techniques from Nine-Tails to improve her own special moves.
