Moriyue and the others had not gone far. The pale cyan Archaeopteryx circled continuously at low altitude. The view from above was excellent, and today was a rare clear day. At their current altitude, Moriyue and the others did not feel too hot. Looking down from the sky, they could take in Naruto and the others' situation below at a glance.
The boundless tide of snakes resembled the sea at high tide in the dead of night. The dark mass of serpents twisted and overlapped, their scales scraping against one another with intermittent hissing sounds. Anyone with trypophobia would probably faint at first sight.
But Naruto and Sakura clearly did not belong to that group. Sakura had already been furious enough. She had come with the most fervent hopes, only for Sasuke not to be the one who appeared. The rage in her heart could no longer be restrained, and invisible flames seemed to burn through the air. Punch after punch, Sakura's iron fists struck mercilessly into the snake horde, each blow taking the lives of countless Black Snakes.
Blood flowed freely, and the desire to kill continued to rise.
"Rasengan!"
Although Naruto did not know what had happened, these Black Snakes clearly had ill intentions. There was no way for either side to communicate now, and this was Orochimaru's Underground Palace. Naruto believed it was all Orochimaru's scheme, so naturally, he did not hold back.
The deep blue Rasengan unleashed gust after gust of wild wind amid the snakes. Naruto activated the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, and in an instant, Naruto clones no fewer in number than the snakes surged forth like a tide. Humans and snakes slaughtered each other, blood and white mist intertwining to create a purgatory that seemed both like hell and heaven.
"Crackle, crackle~"
