Toneri, who was closest to Orochimaru, was the first to notice something was wrong with him. He poured more power into his Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion and shouted to Sasuke and Naruto in the distance, "Careful! There's something—"
Before Toneri could finish, Orochimaru kicked him.
Toneri's expression changed.
His opponent's arms had been severed by the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, and his insides had been cut open. An ordinary person would have died on the spot; even someone at Six Paths level would have been severely injured, if not killed. By all rights, Orochimaru should have lost the ability to fight long ago.
Yet Orochimaru acted as if nothing had happened. The kick came without warning, fast and sudden!
Thud.
Toneri had no time to dodge. He took the kick head-on, and his expression changed the instant it landed. Before he could react, he was sent flying.
As he hurtled through the air, Toneri's mind went blank.
The agony in his abdomen nearly robbed him of the ability to think. He had never imagined Orochimaru's kick could be so terrifying. Even with Tenseigan Chakra Mode activated and his physical abilities greatly enhanced, he had been utterly powerless to resist.
Whoosh!
Seeing Toneri sent flying, Sasuke reacted first. He flashed behind Orochimaru and thrust his Chidori forward.
Orochimaru had no vision, yet he seemed to see Sasuke's movements perfectly. He turned sideways, dodging the Chidori.
"!?"
Sasuke paused for an instant, but didn't stop attacking. His body instinctively launched the next assault.
At the same time, Naruto activated Six Paths Mode and joined the fight with a Body Flicker Technique, attacking Orochimaru alongside Sasuke.
Thud, thud, thud.
The three of them became three blurring shadows, darting back and forth. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged dozens of blows.
