Level Too Low

Orochimaru wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a faint smile appearing on his face.

Seeing Orochimaru's carefree demeanor, Jiraiya frowned. "You bastard! You're still exactly the same as before—you haven't changed at all!"

"Hehehe... Jiraiya! It's been so many years! I don't think I'm much weaker than you! Let's see whether you've improved during this time!"

With that, Orochimaru lunged straight at Jiraiya!

"Jiraiya! Let me see just how strong you've become!"

Orochimaru shouted and spread his arms!

Serpent Rampage!

With a palm strike, eight yin-yang symbols formed two enormous hand seals that came crashing down on Jiraiya!

This time, Jiraiya did not dodge and allowed Orochimaru's attack to hit him!

Bang! Bang! Bang...

Two massive explosions resounded through the sky!

Jiraiya was sent flying and crashed to the ground, pain showing on his face.

"Lord Jiraiya!"

The ANBU squads trembled in fear when they saw Jiraiya get injured.

At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi flashed to Jiraiya's side, grabbed him by the collar, and said coldly, "A fierce gale suddenly rose, and a huge black python lunged at Jiraiya, fangs bared.

Bang!

Their palms collided, erupting with a deafening blast.

Orochimaru felt an immense force slam into him!

Bang!

His body was blasted backward!

"Whoa! Lord Jiraiya is incredible!"

"I never thought his strength had improved again! It seems Lord Jiraiya hasn't slacked off in his training lately!"

The ANBU squads shouted excitedly at the sight!

"Hmph! Training my ass! That pervy sage spends every day reading the Silver Vase Plum I wrote!"

Zhi Ge snorted and charged into the battle.

A battle between top-tier experts was exactly what he had always longed for!

He also wanted to use this chance to find out where his limits truly lay!

"You brat! Get back! This isn't some childish game like the Chunin Exams! People can die here!"

Jiraiya was deeply worried when he saw Zhi Ge rush forward.

Of course he understood his own disciple!

This kid had done plenty of dangerous things ever since he was young. If Jiraiya had not arrived in time this time, then...

At that thought, Jiraiya's brow furrowed tightly.

This kid was still too young!

"I don't care! This time, I'm going to prove Zhi Ge's strength to everyone! I'm going to become someone like the Legendary Sannin too!"

Zhi Ge sneered and threw a punch. A ball of white light shot forth and smashed toward Orochimaru!

Jiraiya could not help frowning at the sight.

Why was this brat becoming more reckless the older he got?!

He did not want his disciple to follow in his old footsteps either!

"You overconfident little brat! You think far too highly of yourself! Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!!!"

Orochimaru roared in anger at the sight.

Every snake in his sleeves lunged for Zhi Ge's outstretched hand. In an instant, their fangs bit through Zhi Ge's Armament Haki!

Their teeth sank directly into his flesh!

"Argh!!!"

Zhi Ge let out a miserable scream of pain.

His Armament Haki was useless at this moment, and his body could not withstand the venom at all!

"You brat! Stop trying to show off! This is a battle between the Legendary Sannin! It isn't something ordinary people can interfere with! If you keep playing hero, then just wait to die!"

Jiraiya cursed before charging straight at Orochimaru!

Boom!!!

Bzzzz!

Orochimaru had not expected Jiraiya to be so difficult to deal with. His fist collided directly with Jiraiya's iron fist, producing a violent impact!

The two enormous forces collided, generating countless gusts of wind!

Splurt!

Zhi Ge let his guard down for a moment and was struck by a sneak attack from Orochimaru's fist, sending his entire body flying!

Pfft!

He spat out a mouthful of blood!

"You brat! Stop showing off! Get to the rear right now! I don't want anything to happen to you!"

Jiraiya hurriedly tried to stop Zhi Ge.

Zhi Ge wiped the blood from his mouth. His face was pale, but his eyes were incomparably resolute. Looking at Orochimaru and Jiraiya, he said word by word, "I won't retreat! You old dog Orochimaru, today I'll show you what I'm capable of!!! Gum-Gum Machine Gun!!!"

With that, Zhi Ge charged at Orochimaru once more!

"You lunatic! Do you even know what you're saying?!"

Jiraiya stared at Zhi Ge in shock and hurriedly shouted.

This damn brat!

He had truly gone crazy this time!

Boom!

Seeing Zhi Ge's state, Orochimaru also roared in anger!

He pulled the Kusanagi Sword directly from his mouth!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Orochimaru calmly thrust and slashed with the Kusanagi Sword, completely blocking Zhi Ge's Gum-Gum Machine Gun.

Zhi Ge let his guard down and was cut to the ground by a single slash, then wrapped up by a venomous snake.

"You brat! Stay there obediently! Let's see if you dare be this impulsive again!"

Jiraiya finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"Damn it!"

Zhi Ge looked at his hands, now covered in wounds from the cuts, and stomped his feet in rage!

"The gap in strength is way too huge, isn't it?! System! Get your ass out here! Where's my reward for passing the Chunin Exams?!"

Watching Jiraiya and Orochimaru fight, Zhi Ge roared.

[Ding! It has been detected that the Chunin Exams the host participated in are currently suspended, so the mission is also suspended!]

"What?! I clearly won the only two matches! Are you screwing with me?!"

Zhi Ge was dumbfounded when he heard that!

[Ding! It has been redetected that the Chunin Exams are beyond recovery. The system will grant the host a compensatory reward at its discretion!]

[Ding! Does the host wish to accept the compensatory reward?]

"Accept! Accept! Hurry up and give it to me! Something is better than nothing!"

Zhi Ge immediately became wildly excited at the news!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Rumble-Rumble Fruit! Would the host like to use it immediately?]

"Can I actually eat two at once?! Eat it! I have to eat it!"

Without even thinking, Zhi Ge chose to consume the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

In that instant, Zhi Ge felt the power of lightning course through his entire body!

An unprecedented power surged forth without end!

"Hey! System! If you're helping, help all the way! If you're sending Buddha off, send him to the west! Boost my Armament Haki too! My Haki is way too weak right now! Orochimaru broke it with a flick of his finger!"
