The Strongest Genjutsu, Iron Body

At the critical moment! Uchiha Yu's mind stirred!

His muscles tensed instantly! His skin became as hard as steel, and his entire body seemed to be covered by an invisible armor!

His body quickly entered the "Iron Body" state!

When Orochimaru's fangs bit towards Uchiha Yu's neck...

"Clang~"

Orochimaru's teeth struck Uchiha Yu's neck, making a crisp metallic sound!

Orochimaru's mouth twitched slightly!

He felt that the neck he was biting was not soft flesh.

But hard steel!

This caught Orochimaru completely off guard!

His teeth were the medium for casting the Curse Mark. Normally, he wouldn't use his teeth to simply attack people. The hardness of his teeth was just slightly harder than that of ordinary ninjas, but it hadn't reached the level of iron.

The Curse Mark power imbued in Orochimaru's mouth failed to penetrate Uchiha Yu's body, which made Orochimaru feel an unprecedented sense of frustration.

"Too hard!" Orochimaru felt his jaw ache slightly, and his teeth loosened because of it.

Unwilling to give up, Orochimaru increased his strength and bit down again!

He attempted to penetrate Uchiha Yu's defense with his powerful strength and the power of the Curse Mark.

However, the result was still the same.

Uchiha Yu's neck was as hard as iron, and Orochimaru's attack did not cause any substantial damage.

A hint of surprise flashed in Orochimaru's eyes. He had never encountered such a situation.

"Is it Earth Release?"

"No, there's no flow of Chakra at all."

"Then what is it?"

"Could it be! I'm under Genjutsu!?"

Orochimaru clasped his hands together and shouted, "Release!"

Three seconds passed.

A gentle breeze blew through Orochimaru's long hair.

He looked at Uchiha Yu, who was under the Paralysis Technique, in great confusion, still not understanding why this kid's skin was as hard as steel.

"Then this is the only way," Orochimaru slammed one hand onto the ground!

"Summoning Technique!"

"Bang!"

The white smoke dissipated! A long sword appeared in Orochimaru's hand!

The legendary treasure sword—the Kusanagi Sword!

This was a treasure sword capable of cutting even the legendary Summoning Beast Enma, who was said to be indestructible!

Holding the treasure sword, Orochimaru quickly poked Uchiha Yu's neck twice with a "swish swish"!

As soon as the sword was taken away, two bloody marks appeared on Uchiha Yu's neck!

Stephen Fang: "Damn it! This is truly the strongest Genjutsu Iron Body now! I can't defend against it!"

Pirate World Fang Yu: "Iron Body is just a technique to enhance physical defense, not something like Invincibility Frame."

"Crack!"

As the two were talking, Orochimaru's teeth finally pierced through Uchiha Yu's broken defense along the bloody marks!

The moment Uchiha Yu was bitten by Orochimaru's teeth, he felt an unprecedented sharp pain!

It was a pain that went deep into his bones, as if countless red-hot needles were piercing into his flesh!

His nerves screamed, and the pain surged like a tide, making him almost unable to breathe!

At the wound, Orochimaru's teeth not only brought physical trauma but also injected the power of the Curse Mark. It was a cold and evil force that raged within his body, making him feel a fear of being corroded!

Uchiha Yu felt like he was back in that rainy day.

He saw it.

The scene of his mother coming home from work, seeing him lying in bed with a high fever, holding him and rushing to the hospital, and the two of them falling together in the rain.

Uchiha Yu's eyes went black, and he fell onto the rooftop.

Kakashi witnessed this scene from a distance, and a hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes!

Kakashi forcibly broke free from the Sound Five's Tayuya's Demonic Flute: Phantom Sound Chains, kicked the opponent away, and quickly formed the hand seal for a Lightning Clone!

Before the Lightning Clone was pierced by Kimimaro, he rapidly rushed towards Jirobo, who was blocking his path!

As he ran, Kakashi's hand gathered irregular, dazzling Chakra electricity!

A blue electric current danced at his fingertips. His body, like a bolt of lightning, shot towards Jirobo, who was holding up the Earth Release: Earth Mausoleum Dumpling!

"Chidori!" Kakashi roared, rushing towards Jirobo with explosive speed!

Jirobo had never seen an S-rank Ninjutsu like Chidori that could enhance speed. The Chidori pierced his body!

The electric current raged within Jirobo's body, sending him flying!

Having taken down his opponent, Kakashi didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately used the Body Flicker Technique!

His figure left behind an afterimage where he stood. The next second, he had appeared in front of Uchiha Yu!

Chidori condensed in his hand once again. The blue electric current danced at his fingertips, his eyes filled with determination and resolve!

"Orochimaru!" Kakashi's voice was filled with anger, his warning clear: "Even gods can stumble."

Orochimaru looked at Kakashi, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

"Copy Ninja Kakashi," Orochimaru's lips curved into a smile, "You are not worthy of fighting me."

Cold sweat trickled down Kakashi's forehead. The light from the Chidori in his hand became even more dazzling.

With Obito's eye that couldn't be closed, and his perennial Chakra shortage, Kakashi felt somewhat powerless after dealing with the Sound Five for half a day, now facing the legendary Three Sannin.

Even at his peak, he wouldn't dare say he could defeat a ninja who was a peer of his teacher's teacher.

Just as Kakashi was preparing for a desperate struggle...

Orochimaru's hoarse voice sounded again.

"Kakashi, I'm interested in this boy. He will come to find me himself."

The confidence in his voice made it hard not to feel.

He was absolutely right.

Kakashi didn't know what Orochimaru was planning, but he knew that if he kept the Chidori activated, his Chakra would quickly be depleted.

He couldn't wait any longer!

Kakashi's Sharingan locked onto Orochimaru. He lowered his stance, preparing to attack!

Orochimaru wore a smile on his face. Just as Kakashi was about to launch his attack, he formed a hand seal with one hand, Body Flickered, and vanished into the night, leaving behind a scene of chaos.

At the same time, the Sound Four, dragging the near-death Jirobo, also quickly left the scene.

"Phew." Kakashi let out a heavy breath.

This could be said to be the most dangerous situation Kakashi had encountered since stepping out of the darkness and standing under the sun.

But he didn't have time to think too much. He picked up Uchiha Yu and started running frantically.

Trusting an opponent was not a good thing.

Even if Orochimaru had truly left, who's to say he wouldn't change his mind?

"Hold on, Yu!" Kakashi's Sharingan scanned the three black tomoe-shaped Curse Marks on Uchiha Yu's neck. "We'll get help soon! Hold on!"

As Uchiha Yu lay unconscious, two discordant voices echoed in his mind.

Pirate World Fang Yu: Great! It's the Heaven Curse Mark!

Stephen Fang: We're saved!
