Entrance to Examination Room No. 37
Kimimaro, Sasuke, and Haku, forming a small team, strolled through the forest.
A simple Chunin Ninja Exams was clearly not taken seriously by most of them.
From the Land of Water to Konoha, none of them received any reminders about Haruma's plan.
They also thought it was just a whim of the boss.
Should we look for other teams nearby?
Kimimaro softly.
To cultivate Kimimaro's personal thinking and judgment abilities, Haruma also secretly mentioned this to Bai.
From the very beginning, Haruma gave Kimimaro the leadership of this three-person team.
"To clear the level, you need to collect all the Heaven and Earth Scrolls and also climb the tower."
Kimimaro shook his head. "There's no need to waste time. Let's just go straight to the finish line and wait there."
He doesn't have the restless mindset of Suigetsu.
They had no intention of bullying the weak or showing off their strength.
Kimimaro would not take the initiative to attack unless provoked.
Kimimaro valued completing every task assigned by his superiors as quickly and effectively as possible.
A giant python, tens of meters long, slowly crawled across the land, its eyes still tinged with a human-like fear.
Haruma lay prone above the snake's head, feeling the cool sensation, and sighed softly:
"Looks like it's time to find myself a mount."
Keeping two giant pythons in the sweltering summer can serve as both a means of transportation and a way to help cool down the body.
I'm a little tempted by the Haruma.
It seems I can ask Orochimaru for another scroll of Ryūchi Cave later.
At this point, only Haruma remained in the team.
Suigetsu, who was beside Qingtian, also went hunting alone with Chōjūrō after being warned by Haruma.
I originally planned to use Flying Thunder God to return to the base and catch up on some sleep.
But in the end, they decided to stay and see what might happen in the forest.
Entrance to the Forest of Death.
The proctor Izumo Kamizuki, and Kotetsu Hagane were anxiously reporting something to Anko.
"Three unusual corpses?"
Anko frowned and said coldly to Kotetsu Hagane, "Take me to see him."
Before long, led by the two, Anko arrived at the edge of the forest.
The corpses of three Grass Ninja, each with identification, were found in gruesome circumstances.
The skin on his face was completely peeled off.
"It can't be wrong..."
Looking at the rotting marks on the faces of the Grass Ninja, Anko felt a slight stinging pain from the mark on her neck.
"That's a forbidden technique that guy used!"
With that, Anko took a step and quickly headed into the forest.
Before leaving, he loudly instructed the two, "Notify the Lord Hokage and all the Anbu to prepare."
" The missing-nin Orochimaru has already infiltrated the ranks of the examinees!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
A powerful hurricane tore apart giant trees and carved a long trench in the ground.
Kimimaro and his two companions, who were heading towards the tower, suddenly stopped in their tracks.
"Ice Shield - Magic Mirror."
Bang!
The mirror surface was showing faint cracks, but fortunately the hurricane was stopped in front of the three of them.
"Looks like this prey is going to be a bit tricky."
Orochimaru, disguised as Grass Ninja, stepped onto a tree branch and looked at Kimimaro and the other two, speaking softly.
Bai frowned slightly, looking up at the unfamiliar ninja before him. "You're not an ordinary Genin."
"They suddenly attacked us, could it be just for the scroll?"
The Ninjutsu was clearly beyond its level; it didn't seem like an attack specifically aimed at the scroll.
After all, the aura of these three was significantly stronger than that of the other teams.
There was absolutely no need to target these three people just for the scroll.
Orochimaru did not respond.
Licking its long, thin tongue, a powerful aura unique to Kage Level beings surged forth!
The three people under the tree focused their gazes, while Bai and Kimimaro remained relatively composed amidst this imposing aura.
After all, they've spent so much time with adults.
Orochimaru's aura was merely intimidating, far from enough to make people lose their will to fight.
Sasuke, on the other hand, was in a slightly more disheveled state.
He took a slightly unsteady step back, then blushed and quickly drew his Kunai prepare for battle.
Nevertheless, it is still far better than the original work.
Atop a tree a hundred meters away, Haruma, concealing his presence, offered this assessment.
Bang,
Kimimaro of few words, took a step and charged forward.
Bone spikes emerged from his palm, aimed at Orochimaru's chest, and stabbed down fiercely!
This body is quite nice, too.
However, Orochimaru, who had performed surgery on Kimimaro, knew that Kimimaro's body Kekkei Genkai Disease, making him unsuitable as a vessel for his own reincarnation.
Orochimaru thought this, but his reaction was extremely quick.
Its entire body resembled a boneless, slender snake, suddenly stretching out and nimbly dodging attacks as it coiled around the tree.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The slender, Sharp Spear, emitting wisps of cold air, pierced through the trees one by one!
Orochimaru emerged unscathed from the smoke and dust, his gaze fixed on Haku with a slight narrowing.
Another special Kekkei Genkai ninja...
Was she also a follower of that person?
"Looks like we need to get serious."
Orochimaru opened his mouth and bit his index finger, drawing crimson blood.
" Summoning Technique."
Bang,
A giant serpent, hundreds of meters long, crashed through a large forest and launched a fierce attack on Kimimaro.
"Is his target me, or Sasuke...?"
He used his Kimimaro in close combat, while his true form attacked directly.
Seeing this, Bai secretly analyzed the situation.
Ice Release: Secret Mirror Prison!
The Setsuna Orochimaru reached the limit of the technique's range, Haku immediately laid down an inescapable trap.
Thousands of ice crystal mirrors of different shapes formed a semi-circle, enveloping the three of them together.
From a distance, it looked like a giant iron pot that suddenly covered the three of them.
" Sasuke, hold this person off; I'll assist in the attack."
After Bai finished speaking softly, he took a step back and merged directly into the mirror.
In the Setsuna it disappeared, thousands of reflective mirrors simultaneously revealed the figure of Bai holding ice needles.
Sasuke slightly, his eyes transforming into Mitsudomoe shapes.
Clearly, Sasuke has grown significantly during his years in Kirigakure compared to the original story.
The evolution of his eyes was also thanks to the talkative Suigetsu and Kimimaro, who constantly beat him up during his training.
Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Technique!
Knowing that the ice mirror wouldn't be destroyed by fire, Sasuke immediately launched a wide-ranging fire attack.
At the same time, a white hand gently waved in the ice mirror.
Countless ice needles rained down on Orochimaru like a torrential downpour!
My vision was instantly obscured by a stark contrast of ice and fire.
"Good teamwork."
Orochimaru gave his honest assessment, clasping his hands together in a hand Hand Seals.
Bang bang bang,
Thick layers of rock and earthen walls emerged from beneath his feet, firmly surrounding Orochimaru in the center.
White ice needles and Sasuke's Fire Style struck the earthen wall.
The clanging and tinkling continued, but it could never penetrate the hole.
at the same time,
Dozens of enormous pythons outside were relentlessly launching suicidal attacks on the ice mirror.
Ice Release: Spear Execution!
Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the white hands in the mirror Hand Seals.
Thousands of ice mirrors released specks of ice crystals, which gathered together with the cold air.
In the blink of an eye, the frozen spear, which had been melted and combined by specks of crystal, hovered above the three people's heads!
"Boom,"
With a loud bang, the Orochimaru enveloping Orochimaru shattered!
