Let's Brush a Boss!

"Ah, this..."

Watching Anko's pathetic performance, Naruto and the others were dumbfounded.

Under this atmosphere, even Orochimaru, shrouded in smoke, couldn't help but say:

"Kid, the reinforcements you desperately waited for don't seem to be as useful as you imagined..."

"Jonin Anko, I know that as your teacher, Orochimaru would definitely have left some contingency measures on you..."

Kazeka came to Anko's side:

"But your current performance is far beyond my expectations.

The Third Hokage stopped me from contacting you, fearing my experiments would cause negative effects from the Cursed Seal.

But given the current situation, it would have been better to let me experiment on you.

Now, is there any possibility for you to regain your spirit and combat power by relying on something called 'belief'?"

"Orochimaru's Cursed Seal is not something that can be overcome so easily.

Even the seal I have on me now is the highest level Sealing Jutsu that the village can use..."

Anko said with difficulty:

"But it's still not having much of an effect!"

"That's because you haven't met me. Don't resist..."

Kazeka pouted, then reached out and pressed on Anko's Cursed Seal area, releasing a Sealing Jutsu again.

A large area of dense characters, like tadpoles, spread from Kazeka's hand, instantly covering more than half of Anko's body.

As Kazeka formed hand seals again, these characters instantly retracted, forming an inverted five-pointed star seal diagram that appeared on the outer edge of the Cursed Seal!

"This!"

Anko, as the one being sealed, knew best how effective Kazeka's Sealing Jutsu was.

She slowly straightened her body, moved her arms, and astonishment instantly appeared in her eyes:

"My body isn't affected anymore?

Although I can feel a dull pressure, causing my body to only be able to exert sixty to seventy percent of its combat power.

But the feeling of agonizing pain that made me unable to move has disappeared!"

"I didn't expect to get an unexpected gain here. Kazeka, what you used isn't a conventional Sealing Jutsu, is it..."

The smoke and dust dispersed, gradually revealing Orochimaru's unharmed body.

However, as a scientist, his terrifying thirst for knowledge made Orochimaru not attack and interrupt Kazeka while he was releasing the Sealing Jutsu on Anko.

On the contrary, he watched Kazeka's actions with great interest and even had the mood to discuss:

"In Sealing Jutsu, an inverted five-pointed star mostly represents evil, pain, and harm.

The purpose is to make the person or object being sealed continuously feel pain during the sealing period.

This is more for tormenting the sealed, and it will cause some harm to the sealer!"

"Isn't it already causing harm..."

Kazeka pointed at Anko beside him:

"My strength has decreased by thirty to forty percent, which is quite a significant harm.

As for Anko's original injuries, I have already transferred them to others.

I had already prepared the first half of this seal, which transfers pain, on some of my experimental subjects.

I originally intended to use it on myself, but I didn't expect to use it on Anko.

However, based on my calculations and analysis, at this stage, using this seal on Anko is far more suitable than using it on myself!"

"To come up with such a method in such a short time, I'm starting to find you interesting again..."

Orochimaru sized up Kazeka from head to toe, then suddenly invited in a low voice:

"Do you want to come back to me? I believe you must have been very constrained during your experiments in Konoha, right?

The Hokage's ideas are too outdated, and he doesn't understand the principles of scientific development at all.

With me, you can let go and conduct research to your heart's content!"

"No!"

Before Kazeka could respond, Anko was already blocking him, anxiously advising:

"This Orochimaru only cares about his experiments and doesn't care about the lives of others. Kazeka, you'll regret it if you go to him!"

"I wasn't planning on going to him anyway..."

Kazeka waved his hand indifferently:

"A slacker whose research has stagnated, who desperately wants to research new techniques for longevity, and then wants to obtain all ninjutsu."

He even coveted the Sharingan, simply because it could copy a vast amount of ninja techniques.

Tsk, for such a pathetic worm, going to him is simply an insult to me as a scientist!"

Logically speaking, Orochimaru's research capabilities were top-notch throughout the ninja world, but Kazeka's constant insults were too much for him.

Moreover, he was hitting all of Orochimaru's sensitive points, which made Orochimaru unable to hold back.

Orochimaru's gaze gradually turned cold, and a killing intent began to rise:

"Kazeka, since you're looking for death, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Your Sealing Jutsu shouldn't be able to seal Anko's state for too long, right? That gradually fading mark is proof.

Not to mention, even in her prime, she wouldn't last long in front of me!

In a moment, I will cut off your head and preserve your thoughts.

I will show you what kind of epoch-making innovation my research truly is!"

"He's flustered, I've only said a few words, and he's already flustered!"

"Kazeka, it's best to know when to stop..."

Anko couldn't help but speak:

"The idea of a venomous snake playing with its prey is good, but you also need to be careful not to anger the snake too much. It can strike a fatal blow!"

Anko formed hand seals, and a large swarm of venomous snakes, previously used by Orochimaru, surged towards him:

"I'll be the main attacker, you guys assist me. You must stop Orochimaru here. He's a major enemy of the village, we absolutely cannot let him escape!"

"Fang Over Fang!"

"Fire Style—Great Fireball Jutsu!"

"Shadow Imitation Jutsu!"

"Kikaichū Infestation!"

"Konoha Strong Whirlwind!"

At first, it was only Anko, Kazeka, and Naruto's two squads attacking.

But the commotion here was too great, and it quickly attracted other ninja squads.

Seeing Kazeka and his group in a tough fight, Shikamaru Nara's Ino-Shika-Cho Squad, Shino Aburame's squad, and Rock Lee's team also arrived!

This large group of ninja, led by Anko as the main attacker, unleashed all sorts of ninjutsu and taijutsu on Orochimaru.

While it wasn't seamless coordination, it was still close. It felt like teaming up to fight a boss in a game!

"Something's wrong!"

Halfway through the battle, Orochimaru's previously relaxed expression suddenly froze.

He then cut his left arm, forcing out some bright red blood:

"There are so many enemy ninja, why am I still fighting leisurely? Even if I don't kill them all, I should have retreated as soon as possible..."

Casually swatting away Rock Lee, who rushed at him, Orochimaru looked at Kazeka, showing a serious expression for the first time:

"Kid, what did you give me?"

"A potion that makes the opponent's brain more excited, increases their desire for knowledge, and makes them enjoy toying with their opponents more..."

Kazeka shrugged, pouting slightly with dissatisfaction.

"I've been setting this up since I arrived on this battlefield. I didn't expect that after setting it up for so long, it only delayed you for a few minutes!"

Orochimaru: "..."
