In Naruto, who was the most overrated ninja?
He did not dare say it, afraid of being flamed online.
But the most underrated ninja was definitely Orochimaru.
During the Chunin Exams, Sasuke had seemed to fight Orochimaru to a draw in the Forest of Death, and had even given Orochimaru enough trouble to become a meme.
Sasuke beat him up.
Itachi one-shotted him.
Compared to the displays of the other two Sannin, Jiraiya and Tsunade, Orochimaru almost seemed unworthy of the Three Sannin title.
But if one treated Orochimaru as a joke based solely on his anime portrayal, that was truly like lighting a lamp in the toilet—courting death.
Uchiha Yu had a brain.
He blasted out two Great Fireballs in rapid succession!
His goal was not to kill Orochimaru.
He even felt that Orochimaru would have no problem taking his Great Fireballs head-on.
The reason he had used the Great Fireballs so decisively was simply to send Kakashi a signal.
This was his only chance at survival.
Even if the odds were slim.
The instant Uchiha Yu spat out the Great Fireballs, the Sharingan in his eyes spun rapidly, releasing an intense red light.
Under his powerful attack, a large hole was blasted through the room. Smoke and flames poured from the opening, illuminating the night sky.
Without the slightest hesitation, he used the fireballs as cover and swiftly leaped out of the room, racing across the rooftops!
Suddenly!
A chill ran down his back!
He felt himself being locked onto by some dangerous presence!
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
He had no time to think and instinctively rolled to the side!
Almost at the same moment, a fierce gust swept through the spot where he had just been standing, carrying destructive force as it sliced through everything in sight!
"Buzz!"
The entire rooftop was blown away by the blast of wind. Wood chips and roof tiles scattered everywhere, throwing the scene into chaos!
Uchiha Yu had evaded the direct attack, his heart pounding violently in his chest cavity. He knew he had just brushed past death!
Orochimaru stood where he was, still maintaining his blowing posture. A trace of surprise showed in his eyes, but he did not hesitate again. With a light leap, he arrived behind Uchiha Yu!
Orochimaru's head moved forward as his neck extended, his eyes locked firmly onto Uchiha Yu.
His mouth opened, revealing sharp teeth as he bit forward!
The expected sensation never came. A look of approval flashed through Orochimaru's eyes.
"Bang!"
The attack missed again. His long neck swung through the air; clearly, he had only bitten the clone Uchiha Yu had left behind.
As the smoke dispersed, Uchiha Yu's clone vanished, while he himself had already taken the opportunity to leap onto a rooftop not far away.
Orochimaru retracted his long neck. His snake tongue flicked twice through the air as he said in a low, hoarse voice, "A genius little brat from the Uchiha. You've truly made me see you in a new light."
"Though you can't compare to that one, you'll do for now."
Uchiha Yu panted heavily. Having no desire whatsoever to be part of this cat-and-mouse game, he pressed his hands together once more!
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Orochimaru's pupils shrank slightly!
He still had Chakra?!
"Genius little brat."
At the sight of the fireball, the surrounding geisha and Patrons let out terrified screams!
Yet Orochimaru seemed to have no intention of resisting. He stood motionless where he was.
The moment the Great Fireball struck his body, flames swallowed his figure. Fire shot into the sky, and scorching heat swept across the heavens!
However.
As the flames and smoke gradually dispersed, a shocking scene appeared!
Orochimaru was somehow standing there completely unscathed, tearing a layer of flame-charred skin from his body.
A proud smile appeared on his face, as though the flames from before had been nothing more than a warm bath.
"Uchiha brat, your flames are useless against me."
The hoarse voice rang in Uchiha Yu's ears. "Become my vessel obediently. Only then can your body be put to its fullest use. It is your honor."
"Forgive my lack of appreciation!" Uchiha Yu pulled out shuriken. "When it comes to genius Uchiha, Clan Head Fugaku's second son is the one worthy of that honor!"
With that, he flung two shuriken at Orochimaru.
Orochimaru casually twisted his neck and dodged the two shuriken. "Hehe, have you reached your limit, little brat?"
It truly looked like he was out of Chakra.
But! A proud expression actually appeared in Uchiha Yu's eyes!
He swiftly tugged the wire, and a third hidden Giant Shuriken shot at Orochimaru from another direction at astonishing speed!
Orochimaru's expression changed slightly. He sensed the deadly threat contained within the Giant Shuriken, and his body twisted at a bizarre angle in an attempt to evade the sudden attack!
However, Uchiha Yu's Sharingan had already predicted his evasive movement. He adjusted the wire, and the Giant Shuriken's trajectory changed accordingly, following Orochimaru's movements closely!
In the end! The Giant Shuriken grazed Orochimaru's shoulder. Though it failed to inflict a fatal wound, it left a deep gash across his shoulder!
A surprised expression appeared on Orochimaru's face! Then it turned feverish!
"It's you! It's you!" Orochimaru twisted his body with a sinister grin as his snake skin began to peel away.
As new skin emerged, the wound caused earlier by Uchiha Yu's Manipulated Windmill Triple Blades vanished as well, as though it had never existed.
A fanatical gleam like that of an evil cultist flashed in Orochimaru's eyes as he stared fixedly at Uchiha Yu!
"I've changed my mind, little brat!" Orochimaru's voice carried a chilling excitement. "You need to grow. You are not enough yet! I cannot make you my vessel this early. Not enough, not enough!"
Looking at the perverted Orochimaru before him, deep panic rose within Uchiha Yu.
Uchiha Yu took a deep breath, his voice carrying a trace of despair and fury. "Kakashi! If you don't come out now, I'm done for!"
The battle just now had been so "intense." Uchiha Yu did not believe Kakashi had failed to notice what was happening here.
The moment his words fell, his gaze drifted into the distance!
Within Uchiha Yu's field of vision, the distant horizon was occupied by a shocking sight!
Countless sharp bone spikes burst from the ground, piercing through rooftops and forming a massive lotus-shaped flower of bone!
The blooming of that bone flower not only destroyed the buildings along half the street, but also left a horrifying scar across the night sky!
Amid this sudden disaster, a figure leaped across the tips of countless bone spikes, like a dancer performing on knife edges.
His movements were nimble and graceful. Every leap avoided the sharp bone spikes, displaying extraordinary skill and a keen awareness of danger.
Uchiha Yu's pupils contracted slightly as he immediately recognized that figure.
Who else could be under such an attack here at this time besides Kakashi Hatake?
Kakashi moved through the bone spikes. The ever-present copy of "Icha Icha Paradise" had long been set aside, and the usual laziness in his eyes had been replaced by seriousness and vigilance.
At the same time, five figures were attacking Kakashi.
Their movements were swift and lethal, every strike carrying the power to destroy everything.
Among those attackers, the most agile was a person covered from head to toe in white bone!
Kimimaro!
This was the Sound Five! Their figures crossed beneath the night sky, the five working together and catching Kakashi off guard!
This was bad!
The Five-Man Squad might not be able to kill Kakashi, but they had plenty of ways to disgust him!
For the time being, let alone coming to save him, Kakashi would have to expend considerable effort just to protect himself.
Uchiha Yu was briefly distracted, and the uncertainty in his heart caused him to lower his guard slightly.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of something tearing through the air came from behind him!
Uchiha Yu's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly turned around!
Like a ghost, Orochimaru had extended his neck and flown at him once again!
Uchiha Yu wanted to form a Hand Seal, only to discover that he could not even raise his hands!
His heart stopped!
In an instant, he realized that he had fallen under Orochimaru's genjutsu at some unknown point!
Just as Orochimaru's teeth were about to touch Uchiha Yu's neck, a shout exploded in his mind!
"Synchronization Ability! Quickly use Iron Body!!!"
