Rampage

At the instant Orochimaru's mind reeled, a figure wrapped in violent crimson chakra vanished from his sight like a scarlet bolt of lightning tearing through space!

It was so fast that it left not even an afterimage!

"So fast!" Alarm bells blared in Orochimaru's mind. He twisted sharply on instinct, and the sight before him made him suck in a cold breath.

The enormous, savage python he had summoned at the cost of chakra had been brutally severed at the waist by a force so overbearing it defied reason!

Reeking snake blood and entrails cascaded down like a waterfall.

And between the two halves of the snake's body stood Namikaze Naruto, his entire body wrapped in a tangible crimson chakra cloak that flickered and burned like flames.

One of his arms had plunged brutally into the snake's belly, wrenching out the unconscious Sasuke Uchiha!

The aura Naruto exuded now was nothing like the relatively immature orange-red chakra from before.

What covered his body was a Tailed Beast Chakra Cloak far closer to its later-stage form!

That dense, inextinguishable crimson glow was filled with a pure, primal will to destroy.

Behind him, four enormous crimson tails formed from pure chakra, like demon tails, whipped about madly. Each sweep produced a shriek that tore through the air, radiating suffocating pressure!

Without the slightest hesitation or any unnecessary movement, Naruto's eyes, covered in Tailed Beast Chakra with only cold beast pupils exposed, instantly locked onto Orochimaru in the distance.

One violent crimson tail lashed out at Orochimaru's hastily raised arms with terrifying, sonic-boom speed and the force to split mountains and shatter stone!

Boom!

A dull, heart-pounding explosion rang out!

Orochimaru felt an irresistible force slam viciously into both arms.

His defense was as fragile as paper, and the agony of shattering bones
