The moisture in the air transformed into a blue water dragon, which bared its fangs and claws as it lunged at Orochimaru.
Orochimaru laughed. "Heh heh, Sensei's ninjutsu is just as powerful as it was back then!"
The water dragon struck Orochimaru in an instant. Its roaring body tore apart the robes around his abdomen and sent him flying hard into the edge of the barrier.
