The wind was bitterly cold.
This place truly lived up to the name Forest of Death.
The air ahead was steeped in death.
Tsunade forcibly suppressed her feelings and stared silently at the scraps of flesh that had belonged to the bear.
At that moment, Tsunade felt an intense, tangible awareness of the world she lived in.
After an unknown length of time, Tsunade pressed a hand to her chest and asked softly, "Ah... Orochimaru, what did you just do?"
"Oh, well, it's a composite ninjutsu I developed by combining the principles of the Summoning Technique, offensive ninjutsu, and the most basic techniques." Orochimaru smiled at Tsunade.
After Tobirama Senju took Orochimaru as his disciple, getting thrashed by Old Father Madara before leaving home every morning became part of his routine.
With three monstrous adults at home, Orochimaru had been forced to grow. Given his personality, he could hardly keep standing there and silently taking a beating. Of course he fought back.
But back when he was trying to increase his chakra, Orochimaru had suffered a great deal.
After learning how shinobi fought.
Orochimaru began researching how to do more with as little chakra as possible.
That was why Orochimaru placed great emphasis on physical training. He avoided using chakra whenever he could. If he had to use it, he started with taijutsu that consumed little chakra and only cast "magic" when necessary.
This meant Orochimaru had no choice but to learn his way around weapons.
"That's amazing. What's it called?" Tsunade's eyes sparkled, and a certain excitement colored her voice.
"I seal the simple ninjutsu I make in my spare time into a summoning space, then rapidly activate them all at once. I named this method 'Projection Ninjutsu.'"
Just as before, Orochimaru gently began explaining what had just happened
