Orochimaru looked at Sasuke with some surprise. Although Sasuke was quite strong, what surprised Orochimaru more was the Lightning Chakra Mode enveloping him.
"Lightning Chakra Mode?"
Orochimaru stopped attacking for the moment and asked with interest.
"Heh, you know a thing or two."
Sasuke looked at Orochimaru disdainfully, but his body was fully armed and poised to strike.
"Karin, back me up."
Sasuke did not turn around, merely speaking in an indifferent tone.
Karin nodded, still a little shaken. The other party's ninjutsu had been so fast that she had failed to react.
Had it hit her, judging by the change in Sasuke's Lightning Chakra Mode just now, it would definitely have hurt.
Their opponent's strength could not be underestimated. Someone with such practiced ninjutsu definitely could not be an ordinary genin.
The pressure he put on Sasuke was even far greater than Gaara's.
That was why Sasuke had chosen to have Karin assist him.
Karin linked her perception to Sasuke's, making up for poor Sasuke's shortcomings in sensory ability.
"Tell me, who exactly are you?"
Sasuke twirled his sword and pointed Moonlight's blade straight at Orochimaru's throat as he asked.
"Hehe, who am I? Well, I'm..."
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and began teasing Sasuke, but since he currently looked like a very strange girl, it made the whole thing even stranger.
"Forget it. I can investigate after I kill you."
Sasuke charged straight at Orochimaru while he was playing mysterious.
As thunder rang out, flames also ignited along Moonlight.

Sasuke's figure flickered like an illusion as he advanced toward Orochimaru, then a crescent-shaped sword strike appeared before Orochimaru.
Orochimaru did not sink underground this time. His two eerily pale hands began forming hand seals.
