The Fall of Yakushi Kabuto and Orochimaru's Retreat (Happy New Year, Everyone)

Naruto had dodged Yakushi Kabuto's attack from underground so quickly mainly thanks to the Earth Sense ability that came with the Senju Sage Body he had just acquired.

He hadn't expected Earth Sense to work this way. From now on, he wouldn't have to fear attacks from underground. He could even seize the chance to counterattack.

He brought his hands together, and a mass of hurricanes sprang up on all sides, closing in on Yakushi Kabuto. Once caught in them, Kabuto would be shredded by countless blades.
