"Orochimaru has no intention of stopping. Is there something wrong?"
Chasing Orochimaru further and further away, Uchiha Itachi finally felt something was wrong and was about to give up the pursuit.
"Too late!"
Orochimaru in front seemed to have seen through Uchiha Itachi's thoughts, and stopped, and then shouted.
After the words fell, Orochimaru's four subordinates immediately moved in four directions to surround Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi!
Ten-shen-si-mao-yin!
"Ninja Technique-Four Violet Flames Formation"
With the completion of the hand seals, a huge barrier immediately opened at the origin of the four subordinates.
Four Violet Flames Formation, a barrier-type ninjutsu that needs to be performed by four people in order to be activated. A rectangular barrier of purple transparent flames is opened in the four directions of east, west, south and north respectively. The barrier array is attached with purple flames, which prevents outsiders from entering and people inside the barrier from getting out. Once they touch the four walls of the barrier, they will be burned by the flames.
"Orochimaru, in order to duel with me, there is no need to put up such a big formation!"
Uchiha Itachi, who was in the barrier, also knew the ninjutsu Four Violet Flames Formation, and then he pulled out the Kodachi from his back and got ready for battle.
"Uchiha Itachi, it's rare for a smart person like you to be confused!"
"After you and Sasuke arrive at Land of Rice Fields, my goal is not to establish my power in Land of Rice Fields, but to seize your Sharingan!"
Looking at Uchiha Itachi who was ready to fight with cold eyes, Orochimaru smiled strangely.
"If you want my Sharingan, it depends on whether you have the ability!"
Uchiha Itachi took one step forward, as if there was an explosion at his feet, and his figure turned into a black shadow and rushed out.
"So fast!"
That speed, as fast as thunder, attracted the admiration of the four attackers Orochimaru.
The figure of Uchiha Itachi appeared behind Orochimaru almost instantly, and then the Kodachi in his hand slashed fiercely at Orochimaru!
Bang!
But just when Uchiha Itachi was surprised that Orochimaru didn't respond, Orochimaru's whole person suddenly turned into a ball of white mist and disappeared.
"Shadow Clone?"
"How is that possible?!"
Unexpectedly, the Orochimaru in front of him was a clone, and Uchiha Itachi's complexion also changed drastically due to this.
"No, Sasuke is in danger!"
If the clone led him here, then Orochimaru's real body should be in the Daiming Palace. Thinking of this, Uchiha Itachi's heart sank directly to the bottom.
"Orochimaru is nothing more than that!"
"Well, look at him running faster than a snake, he really lives up to his name!"
"Maybe I can defeat him..."
The appearance of Orochimaru early in the morning and the scene of him fleeing upon seeing Uchiha Itachi also gave Hojo officials more topics to discuss, but most of the words were mocking Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru, how could it be so unbearable!"
Listening to the officials' boastful words, Sasuke shook his head speechlessly.
"Sharingan is mine!"
"Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!"
However, just as Sasuke was mumbling to himself, a sharp shout sounded, and more than a dozen long snakes were seen rushing towards Sasuke. Before Sasuke could react, the long snakes had surrounded him like ropes!
This is Orochimaru's signature ninjutsu. Several snakes hidden in the sleeves will attack the opponent unexpectedly. The snakes will bite and entangle the enemy to deal with them. In addition, they are summoned, so they are more powerful and intelligent than ordinary snakes, which is beneficial to subdue the enemy.
"Terashima... How could you?"
The sudden change caused the other officials' minds to be in chaos and panic, and their faces were also extremely pale.
"Could it be that Terashima has..."
The name Hojo was in a state of confusion at the moment, but fortunately, he still had some calmness left, and he quickly recovered from this chaos. What he should pay attention to for the time being was not the cause of the matter, but the need to save his life first! Then he and the others quickly retreated, ready to escape at any time!
"Did you use Face Copying Technique? As expected of Orochimaru!"
Staring at "Terashima" who was attacking him, Sasuke, who was trapped by the snake, reacted instantly.
This is a cold-blooded ninjutsu that takes someone else's appearance as your own. Since it is a real human face, there is no flaw. In the anime, Orochimaru uses this ninjutsu to pretend to be Grass Ninja and blend into Chunin Ninja Exams. When the victim is found, he has turned into a faceless corpse.
"Orochimaru, you are really good at lurking next to the daimyo, and then you lured my brother away today. You didn't expect that I was your target!"
Taking a deep breath, Sasuke sorted out his thoughts and finally understood!
"Hey, Sasuke, don't be afraid, I won't kill you now, you will become the container for my reincarnation!"
It was easy to succeed, but "Terashima" had a smile on his face, and a cunning and cold look flashed in his narrow eyes.
"Your plan is perfect, but you have the wrong person!"
Listening to Sasuke's harsh words, "Terashima" couldn't help but smile. Just as he was about to speak, his face suddenly changed. Sasuke, who was bound by the snake, turned into a wooden stake with a talisman attached to it with a bang.
"What's going on?"
"Turn into a wooden pile?"
Hojo and others who were preparing to escape all lost their voices in shock. They looked as if they had seen a ghost, with a deep look of disbelief on their faces.
"Substitution Technique?"
"Terashima"'s pupils shrank sharply at this time, and his eyes stayed on the wooden stake.
"Don't be careless at this time!"
A low voice sounded from behind, and Sasuke appeared behind "Terashima" at some unknown time, waving Kunai over!
"Taijutsu practiced well!"
"Terashima" sneered, leaping up in the air, and then swung Kunai to stab Sasuke. Kunai brought a strong wind of oppression and enveloped Sasuke.
After experiencing many life-and-death battles, Sasuke faced Orochimaru's fierce offensive. His body moved and drifted away like a ghost. There was a vague afterimage following him, making it impossible to fathom his evasive trajectory.
"Hey, this kid is pretty awesome!"
Seeing that Sasuke was not directly killed by Orochimaru, Hojo's eyes lit up slightly.
"Terashima" attacked fiercely and was in hot pursuit, while Sasuke relied on the Taijutsu taught by Shisui to constantly dodge and avoid all the fierce attacks from "Terashima".
The two fighting men pushed their body speed to the extreme. Hojo and others could only see two blurry shadows flashing in front of them like a whirlwind, and their faces were filled with shock.
"I told you to hide!"
"Hidden Shadow Multi Snake Hands!"
After fighting for a long time to no avail, "Terashima"'s eyes turned cold. He waved his arms and dozens of ferocious long snakes came out crazily, catching up with the ghostly figure of Sasuke.
