When the group recognized who had come out, apart from Naruto and Kabuto Yakushi being excited, Sasuke and Hinata were filled with terror. Sasuke, in particular, was terrified. After learning that the person in front of him was the Naruto had mentioned who had come for him, Sasuke felt a chill run down his spine and was reluctant to face reality.
Hinata was simply terrified by the sight of his terrifying Chakra.
As for Naruto, he's been looking for Orochimaru for a long time, and he has many interesting experiments he wants to discuss with him, but now is not the time to think about that.
"Hey, Orochimaru, aren't you going to take off that disguise on your face?"
"What? Orochimaru?"
Naruto's words were like a stubborn rock thrown into water, creating ripples that startled the hearts of several people around him.
Sasuke and Hinata were also curious, feeling that the name Orochimaru sounded familiar, as if their elders had mentioned it, but they just couldn't remember who it was.
Kabuto Yakushi's reaction was different from theirs; he was shocked at how Naruto had seen through Lord Orochimaru's disguise.
Even Orochimaru was stunned by Naruto's words. Had he been exposed? That shouldn't be the case. And how did this kid know his identity? The key point is that he hadn't revealed this plan to anyone else. He narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Kabuto Yakushi.
Did you tell him, kid?
Kabuto Yakushi could easily read the look in his master's eyes. He shook his head frantically. How could he possibly reveal any information? Lord Orochimaru, have you forgotten what I do for a living?
Orochimaru's confusion deepened upon seeing Kabuto Yakushi's reaction. What was the deal with this kid?
Could it be that his teacher told him? He narrowed his eyes, stopped thinking about it, and instead looked at Sasuke, who was his target this time.
Ever since he witnessed Uchiha Itachi's immense talent, he developed a special affection for those beautiful red eyes. This obsession clung to him like a leech, making him infatuated with such a talented and powerful body, and he longed to possess one himself.
But Itachi is now in the public eye every day and has even become a candidate for the Uchiha Clan head, making it difficult for him to make a move. So he set his sights on Itachi's younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha. Presumably, as Uchiha Itachi's brother, Sasuke's talent shouldn't be too bad, right?
Orochimaru thought to himself.
"Little one, do you know who I am?"
Naruto remained calm in the face of Orochimaru's questions, saying, "Others may be afraid of Orochimaru, but I'm not."
"What? Lord Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, shouldn't I know?"
Naruto's casual attitude surprised Orochimaru. "Wait, is he really that brave?"
"Heh, what an interesting little rascal."
"Oh? I have something even more interesting, would you like to see?"
Just as Orochimaru was wondering what Naruto was going to do, he saw Naruto snap his fingers, and then another Naruto jumped out holding a huge Rasengan.
Orochimaru's pupils constricted upon seeing this. This Ninjutsu?
Jiraiya is back?
But now was clearly not the time. Orochimaru could sense a strong sense of danger from Naruto's attack, but fortunately he reacted quickly and narrowly dodged the dangerous blow.
However, Orochimaru underestimated the blast radius of the Rasengan, and he didn't expect Naruto's Rasengan to be different from Zaraya's; it was not only larger, but it would also explode.
With a deafening roar, the massive trees shattered into dust, and the spot where the Rasengan had just struck was blasted into a circular crater, awaiting the dissipation of the smoke.
Orochimaru, supporting his missing left arm, emerged from a pile of scattered wood chips. His hair was disheveled, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
He ripped off the human skin mask from his face, revealing his true appearance, and what happened next was something that Naruto, Sasuke, and Hina found particularly offensive.
A sound of vomiting came from Orochimaru. He opened his mouth wide and gave everyone a performance, vomiting on himself. The new Orochimaru, covered in slime, appeared in front of them.
Naruto felt genuinely nauseous at Orochimaru's Substitution Technique, but his arm was now completely healed.
Orochimaru licked his lips, looking at Naruto with excitement.
"This is really interesting. The power of this Rasengan is no less than Jiraiya's."
Naruto was astonished by Orochimaru's arrogant demeanor. This guy was really hard to kill; there probably wasn't anyone harder to kill in the entire Shinobi World.
" Sasuke, Hinata, you two should stay far away from here."
"Good."
Neither of them asked why, and even Sasuke obediently stepped back, because they both knew that Naruto was about to begin his tactics.
Orochimaru, don't die!
"Kid, you're really arrogant."
" Summoning Technique."
A giant python appeared beside Orochimaru. He pointed to Sasuke and Hinata's location, and the python chased after them in the direction they had left. Kabuto Yakushi followed behind the python, and together they chased after Sasuke and Hinata.
"Kid, your friend looks like he's in danger."
Orochimaru's teasing tone carried a sinister undertone, sending chills down the spines of anyone who heard it.
"I believe them, but Orochimaru, I have something here that you might be interested in."
"Oh? What is that?"
" Fire Style · Great Flame Arrow."
Naruto slammed his fist into the ground, sending a massive pillar of fire soaring into the sky. Orochimaru narrowed his eyes; if he wasn't mistaken, Naruto hadn't actually Hand Seals.
Can you release Ninjutsu without Hand Seals?
Orochimaru looked at Naruto with a hint of curiosity; this kid seemed a little different.
"Mommy, that's a terrifying Fire Style! But if it doesn't hit anyone, it's completely useless."
After Orochimaru dodged, he was about to use Water Release to extinguish the surrounding flames, but Naruto wouldn't give him a chance to catch his breath, and Ninjutsu followed one after another.
" Wind Release: Sandstorm Formation"
" Wind Release: Vacuum Wave."
Two Wind Release Ninjutsu came, and the fire, encountering the wind, burned even more fiercely, forming a fiery red tornado that was rapidly approaching Orochimaru's direction.
"Combination Ninjutsu: Wind and Fire Tornado."
A giant red tornado rapidly approached Orochimaru, leaving Orochimaru completely stunned.
" Summoning Technique: Triple Rashomon "
Three gates appeared, and huge fire tornadoes, arranged in red, green, and blue in sequence, crashed into Rashomon, making a sound like metal scraping against metal. The first gate was instantly broken, followed by the second, but after the second gate was broken open, nothing more happened.
Orochimaru, covered in soot, crawled out of the ground. He surveyed the ravaged landscape; sparks had reduced the drifting wood chips to ashes, and tiny flames still clung to the surrounding trees, slowly burning away...
