VS Gaara

Naruto hesitated, "This guy saved us. It wouldn't be right for us to just abandon him like this!"

It has to be said, Naruto is still the same Naruto.

The Virgin Mary is very...

But he soon realized he had been overthinking it. The other person didn't need his help at all.

At that moment, Moke placed his hand on the Nidai Kitetsu, then suddenly pulled it out and swung it out.

"Brush..."

An extremely terrifying slash immediately shot out.

The Orochi that instilled their fear had its head severed in two, and its twisted body was cut into several pieces. Yet, its momentum remained undiminished as it continued its advance towards Orochimaru.

"Shock!"

Orochimaru was truly shocked by this strike.

As if caught off guard, he was instantly cleaved in two.

"Bang!"

Of course, this guy didn't die so easily. His body, cut in two, turned into a piece of wood with a bang.

However, Moke's slashes did not stop and continued.

Everything it passed through was cleaved in two. Even the ground was split in two.

Until it disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Hiss..."

Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura were all so shocked that their scalps tingled, and they all gasped in shock.

"Substitution Technique?"

Moke raised an eyebrow.

Immediately using his Observation Haki, he pinpointed Orochimaru's location. He turned to his left and saw Orochimaru standing in that direction, about fifty meters away, perched on a branch of a large tree, staring blankly at Moke.

Clearly, he was also taken aback by Moke's strike.

"Call..."

Orochimaru took a deep breath, and after calming down, looked at Moke and said, "I don't know if swordsmen in the past were this strong, but you are definitely one of the two people I've ever met who wield a sword the best."

"Oh?"

Moke couldn't help but become interested. "Then I'm curious, who is the other one?"

Orochimaru: "Sakumo Hatake!"

"Sakumo Hatake?" Moke was slightly taken aback.

He couldn't help but laugh, "Then thank you for your kind offer."

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing this. "You know him?"

Moke laughed, "Sakumo Hatake was once a figure who wielded a chakra dagger and was known as the White Fang of the Leaf, a figure Might-Shaker Shinobi World! All the villages issued an order regarding him: if you encounter the White Fang of the Leaf, you should immediately abandon your mission."

He paused slightly, glanced at Naruto, and continued, "And there are only three people who can command such orders from each village to their ninjas. Besides Naruto, there's Minato Namikaze, known as the Yellow Flash, the Fourth Hokage Naruto of Konoha; and the other is even more formidable, the founder of Konoha, known as the God of Shinobi Hashirama Senju."

"The fact that he received the same treatment as those two shows just how terrifying his strength is. To this day, the older generation of ninja villages would tremble at the mere mention of his name!"

It's a pity he died such a miserable death; it would have been better to die on the battlefield!

"Konoha has someone this powerful?" Naruto's eyes widened in shock.

"How come I've never heard of this before?" Sakura asked, looking puzzled.

"Sakumo Hatake? A member of the Hatake Clan? What's his relationship with Kakashi- sensei?" Sasuke reacted the fastest, immediately grasping the key point.

"Hehehe..."

Orochimaru looked at Moke with a meaningful expression.

Among the younger generation, only Kakashi Hatake, the Copy Ninja of Konoha, is known. I didn't expect anyone to remember Sakumo Hatake!

Especially the last sentence.

That's a lot of information!

This made him think more highly of Moke, implying that Moke knew many secrets of the Shinobi World.
