Kage-Level Combat-You May Not Understand It Very Well
Yes.
Such opportunities are rare.
Even in Orochimaru's fifty years of life, the number of battles between two village Kage was very small, let alone a battle between four Kage!
This kind of battle...
It will definitely be extremely intense!
However...
When Orochimaru controlled the Fourth Kazekage Rasa to confront the Second Tsuchikage Mu, the battle between the two was almost a one-sided crushing defeat!
The Fourth Kazekage Rasa, manipulated the Gold Sand to surge upwards, transforming it into a golden spear that pierced towards the Second Tsuchikage Mu. However, it was instantly destroyed and disintegrated by a dazzling white light!
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique..."
The white light between the Second Tsuchikage Mu's closed hands destroyed the golden spear, and then quickly destroyed the body of the Fourth Tsuchikage Rasa!
Because his Impure World Reincarnation body was destroyed, the Fourth Tsuchikage Rasa instantly lost his fighting ability, and his body fragments turned into pieces of white paper that floated in the sky!
"The Chakra required for this technique..."
Orochimaru suddenly felt a sense of unease. He had sensed something was amiss. Yakushi Kabuto Impure World Reincarnation was far superior to his own!
How is that possible!
Orochimaru believed that his mastery of the Impure World Impure World Reincarnation was unmatched in the Shinobi World, even surpassing that of the Second Hokage who developed it!
My own Impure World Reincarnation is the most perfect!
Yakushi Kabuto was just his assistant, so how could he possibly surpass him in the Impure World Reincarnation? The Impure World Reincarnation individuals he controlled were able to unleash almost the same Kage-level Chakra as in their previous lives without losing control!
This...
How could such a thing be possible!
Orochimaru is not someone who is unwilling to acknowledge the talent of others; in fact, he has admitted that many people are stronger than him in certain aspects. However, in his most proficient technique, Orochimaru cannot tolerate being surpassed by others!
Especially when he was surpassed by Yakushi Kabuto he considered to have limited qualifications!
This guy...
He's just a medical ninja...
He had even watched Yakushi Kabuto grow to where he was today. Despite the fact that this guy's combat strength had always been unsatisfactory, how could he have such talent in the Impure World Reincarnation, surpassing him who had been immersed in this technique all along!
The battle on the other side...
It was also almost one-sided.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
"Yagura, you're still exactly the same as when you were a child!"
The Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki, casually manipulated the Water Gun Technique to pierce through the Impure World Reincarnation Body of the Fourth Mizukage Yagura!
"The Second..."
The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, couldn't help but twitch at the sight of the unruly Second Mizukage, and his body collapsed as if he had lost all his strength.
In the blink of an eye!
Orochimaru's side suffered a near-total defeat!
"Kabuto, you've been hiding your true colors really well..."
Orochimaru gritted his teeth, glaring at the two Impure World Reincarnation, and forced himself to speak, trying to buy time. "I'm getting curious, when exactly did you perfect the Impure World Reincarnation? You're progressing faster than me..."
"I'm so sorry..."
"Lord Orochimaru, it seems my progress has surprised you!"
"For me, this should be a great honor for those who have always followed Lord Orochimaru."
Yakushi Kabuto manipulated the Second Tsuchikage Mu float in front of Orochimaru, and softly spoke through his body, "However, I have no time for idle chatter, nor do I intend to let Lord Orochimaru waste time. Please Sasuke Orochimaru over to me first."
"Sasuke?"
Orochimaru glanced at Sasuke Uchiha, who was hiding nearby, and as if he had suddenly understood something, his eyes turned cold!
"Are you one of Shirou Emiya's people?"
"To be precise..."
At this moment, Yakushi Kabuto had to correct Orochimaru, as he couldn't reveal the secret that he had already sided with Shirou Emiya: "I should now be a member of Akatsuki."
"..."
Orochimaru's aura instantly intensified with anger.
What's the difference between the Akatsuki members and Shirou Emiya's people?
"Sasuke won't leave with you."
Orochimaru stepped in front of Sasuke Uchiha, even offering a reason for Sasuke Uchiha: "The Itachi that Sasuke wants to kill is in the Akatsuki..."
"..."
Sasuke Uchiha's eyes narrowed.
"Lord Orochimaru..."
Yakushi Kabuto seemed lost in thought, or perhaps questioning, "At this point, there seems to be no need to hide anything from each other anymore, is there? Weren't Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki Obito Uchiha to infiltrate the Akatsuki?"
"You guys wouldn't...?"
"Did you think Lord Shirou would just ignore this?"
"!!!"
Orochimaru's heart skipped a beat.
No...
That idiot Obito Uchiha guessed wrong again!
That fool thought that the implication of Shirou Emiya sending Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha was that he wanted to make peace, but he didn't expect that Shirou Emiya had already prepared a backup plan!
Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki were just bait...
It was Yakushi Kabuto Sasuke Uchiha away!
This is not good...
Orochimaru gritted his teeth, disregarded everything else, and quickly grabbed Sasuke Uchiha, then flew off to escape into the distance!
"Etc..."
Sasuke Uchiha hadn't figured out the details yet. He wanted to find out exactly which side Itachi Uchiha was on and which side would allow him to kill Itachi Uchiha!
However, Orochimaru didn't care about all that; he only cared about Sasuke Uchiha's aptitude and body to awaken the Rinnegan in the future!
"Kisame Hoshigaki, Itachi Uchiha!"
As Orochimaru fled into the distance, he called out loudly to Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha, believing that the two of them must be hiding nearby!
"Stop them!"
"Yakushi Kabuto is also here on orders to eliminate you!"
Just as Orochimaru had predicted, Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki were indeed hiding in the shadows, because Itachi Uchiha could not abandon the safety of his younger brother.
Under a big tree.
Kisame Hoshigaki stood under the tree, carrying the Samehada.
Itachi Uchiha sat on a tree trunk, calmly observing the battle not far away.
"How so?"
Kisame Hoshigaki looked up at Itachi Uchiha, seemingly asking for his opinion, "Itachi, should we get involved?"
"..."
Itachi Uchiha's body transformed into a flock of crows and vanished.
Of course we should intervene.
Because Itachi Uchiha's goal was to prevent Sasuke Uchiha leaving Konoha, and he wanted to stop both Orochimaru and the Akatsuki members!
Orochimaru is now at a disadvantage...
If Sasuke Uchiha is really taken back to the Akatsuki, then it will be really difficult for him to intervene. Even if Shirou Emiya wants to do something to Sasuke Uchiha, it will be useless for him to risk his life. After all, he knows that he can't be a match for that big shot Shirou Emiya!
On the battlefield.
Orochimaru escaped very quickly!
However, the Second Tsuchikage Mu was even faster in pursuit!
The Tsuchikage, wrapped in bandages, blocked Orochimaru's path, forming a pincer movement with the Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki, who was also pursuing Orochimaru!
"Hand over Sasuke, Lord Orochimaru."
Yakushi Kabuto continued to speak through the body of the Second Tsuchikage Mu, Mu, earnestly persuading Orochimaru to accept reality. "The potential Sasuke possesses can only be truly unleashed by Lord Shirou. In your hands, it will only be a waste of his talent..."
"Snort!"
Orochimaru scoffed at Yakushi Kabuto's advice, coldly threatening to retort, "So you've found a new backer and you're already looking down on me?"
"No."
"I have nothing but respect for Lord Orochimaru."
"After all, when I was lost in life, Orochimaru taught me how to gather information and intelligence to find my true self..."
"Now..."
"I've found it."
After speaking about himself, Yakushi Kabuto then shared his understanding of Orochimaru: "But Lord Orochimaru is still lost. Our talents cannot forever be the wind that drives the Shinobi World. Being a windmill waiting for the wind to come is not necessarily a bad thing..."
"Lord Orochimaru..."
"You can't possibly be a match for Lord Shirou."
"Obito Uchiha could not possibly defy Lord Shirou's will."
As Yakushi Kabuto manipulated the two Kage to approach, he began his persuasion. "Why can't we just give up? Take Sasuke and me to apologize to Lord Shirou. I believe that with Lord Shirou's magnanimity, he will forgive Lord Orochimaru and may even reinstate him to Lord Orochimaru..."
"That guy isn't very generous!"
Orochimaru's face suddenly flashed with ferocity, and his neck stretched out instantly, biting down on the Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki, from behind!
At this moment...
Orochimaru was the first to prepare for battle. He planned to seal the Second Mizukage first, and then fight the Second Tsuchikage Mu, Tsuchikage was extremely mobile!
But...
His idea was ultimately somewhat naive!
The Second Mizukage and the Second Tsuchikage had fought side by side before. Even though they were at odds with each other, they could still attack in unison!
The Water Gun Technique pierced Orochimaru's neck, and the Second Tsuchikage Mu, drew his Ninja Blade and swooped down, slashing towards Orochimaru's chest!
"We've been tricked!"
Orochimaru's body instantly turned into a lump of mud!
"Earth Clone!"
Yakushi Kabuto was suddenly startled!
As a medical ninja not known for his combat skills, Yakushi Kabuto wasn't particularly knowledgeable about the details of battles between Kage-level; he simply assumed that a pincer attack from two Kage would guarantee his safety...
However, the two shadows he controlled only obeyed his orders and did not choose to act on their own initiative, so they naturally did not tell him that Orochimaru was just a Shadow Clone!
But...
Sasuke Uchiha?
This is the person Shirou Emiya requested!
Yakushi Kabuto, fearing they might harm Sasuke Uchiha, hastily ordered the two Kage to halt their attack and even took control of their actions himself!
The next moment!
Orochimaru's body suddenly emerged from the soil beneath the Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki, and raised his hand towards the Second Mizukage's body. His primary target was still the Mizukage!
After all...
The flying Tsuchikage is difficult to approach!
In comparison, the Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki, is an easy target!
A group of long snakes instantly pierced through the body of the Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki!
The moment the Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki's body was shattered, Sealing Jutsu sealed his body, completely immobilizing him like a mummy!
The Second Tsuchikage Mu, also realized something was wrong!
Or rather...
Yakushi Kabuto was controlling him, also realized that something was wrong!
I was careless after all. I actually thought that Kage-level battles were just a clash of Ninjutsu. I didn't understand the fighting style of these Kage-level powerhouses who had been fighting life-and-death battles in high-intensity combat for years!
But...
It doesn't matter anymore!
Anyway, the Second Tsuchikage Mu than capable of completing the mission!
Although Orochimaru used a little trick to seal away the Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki, as long as he could take Sasuke Uchiha away and complete the mission, none of this was a loss!
However...
As Yakushi Kabuto manipulated the Second Tsuchikage Mu reach out and grab Sasuke Uchiha's body, a flock of crows appeared in front of him, transforming into Itachi Uchiha's figure and blocking his way!
At the same time...
Kisame Hoshigaki Body Flicker Technique charged forward, wielding his Samehada. The broad Samehada, accompanied by splashes of water, forced the Tsuchikage back in an instant!
Those two traitors!
Sure enough, they showed up at this moment!
"Although your Impure World Reincarnation is excellent..."
Orochimaru looked with satisfaction at the Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki, who was wrapped up like a dumpling, and slowly withdrew his hand. He looked up at the Second Tsuchikage, who had been forced back, and chuckled as he spoke to Yakushi Kabuto behind him, "But you don't seem to be very good at using them in battle, Kabuto..."
