"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
As three puffs of white smoke exploded, three identical Naruto clones pounced on the straw hat-wearing ninja, launching a reckless and powerful attack.
Sasuke snapped out of his daze at that moment, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down: "Naruto, that guy..."
It's unbelievable that he could break free from such a murderous aura and launch an attack!
But now is not the time to stand still!
Sasuke's Sharingan eyes spun rapidly, the crimson pupils reflecting the image of Naruto's shadow clone. "Hmph, since that's how it is—"
He gritted his teeth, fully mobilizing the power of his Sharingan, and his chakra surged wildly into his eyes...
The straw hat-wearing ninja caught a glimpse of Naruto's shadow clone attacking, but neither dodged nor avoided it.
He simply raised his arm slightly, as if swatting a fly.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three muffled thuds rang out in succession, and Naruto's three shadow clones were all easily defeated by him!
As white smoke rose, the clones disappeared into the air one by one.
And just then.
"Magic: The Art of the Flail!"
Sasuke met the other person's gaze directly.
In an instant, a strange genjutsu wave surged out, and the grass ninja's eyes faltered slightly, his aura seemingly slowing down a little.
Sasuke was overjoyed to see that it was working.
He had thought that it would be extremely difficult to pull such a strange and powerful enemy into his illusion space, but the process was much smoother than he had imagined!
However, the overwhelming burden quickly overwhelmed his entire body. Sasuke felt a stinging pain in his eyes, and his chakra was rapidly depleted like a burst dam.
Less than two seconds later, Sasuke's vision suddenly shook.
The illusion space he constructed began to crumble inch by inch!
The grass ninja suddenly opened his eyes, staring at Sasuke with a mocking expression, and gave a chilling smile: "Oh? Genjutsu? Too bad—"
He slowly raised his hand, his voice full of contempt, "You're still too green! If it were someone else—"
Before Kusanagi could finish speaking...
"Spiral pills!"
A loud shout came from the side, interrupting the grass ninja's words.
Strawberry Shinobu was slightly taken aback. He only had time to turn his head when a rapidly spinning, azure chakra sphere appeared before him with a piercing shriek, slamming into his face.
"boom--"
With a loud bang, the blue sphere suddenly exploded, unleashing a torrent of violent chakra energy.
Caught off guard, the grass ninja was hit head-on, taking a solid blow to the face. He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing into a thick tree branch behind him before falling into the grass, kicking up dust and leaves.
"Did it...did it work?!" Sakura leaned against a tree trunk and managed to stand up, her face filled with a mixture of surprise and joy as she stared at the smoke and dust from the explosion in the distance.
Sasuke knelt on the ground, panting heavily, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
His pupil technique was forcibly broken, and at this moment he felt dizzy and disoriented.
Naruto climbed out of the crater he had created, panting heavily. His right hand was still in the extended position, with faint blue chakra lingering in his palm.
He grinned and wiped the mud splattered on his face: "Phew...that was close!"
Naruto patted his chest, muttering with lingering fear, "If that guy hadn't talked so much nonsense and given me an opening, I almost would have missed!"
Seeing that her companion was safe and sound, Sakura finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and her tense nerves relaxed slightly.
She rushed forward, cautiously looking around, and quickly helped the exhausted Sasuke up from the ground: "Sasuke, are you alright?!"
"Phew... No, it's nothing."
Sasuke shook his head slightly, barely managing to steady himself with Sakura's support.
He took a few deep breaths, suppressing the intense dizziness, and turned to look at the landing spot of the person who had been blasted away not far away. "Did it work?"
A hoarse, sinister laugh echoed through the silent forest: "Hehehe... Interesting... To be able to use the Sharingan to this extent at such a young age, impressive..."
"Nani?!"
Naruto and Sakura's expressions both changed.
Not far away, behind a pile of broken branches and leaves, a thin figure slowly supported himself and stood up.
The man's straw hat was nowhere to be found, and the skin that had covered his face was now torn and tattered, hanging on his face like a mask.
Chapter 87 Kakashi: Please let Orochimaru-senpai test his skills.
"How can it be……"
Sakura's eyes widened, and she instinctively covered her mouth with her hand.
Naruto was also shocked: "This guy can actually stand up?!"
The man chuckled and wiped his face, tearing off the tattered human skin and tossing it aside.
In an instant, a pale, thin, and unfamiliar face was completely exposed to the air.
A playful glint flashed in his waxy yellow snake eyes, and a sinister smile spread across his lips.
“It’s actually…” Sasuke’s pupils dilated, as if he recognized the person.
"Ah! It's that snake-skinned monster!"
Before Sasuke could finish speaking, Naruto pointed at Orochimaru and cursed.
The tall, thin man who emerged from the shadows lightly patted the dust off his clothes, stretched his stiff neck, and made an eerie "crackling" sound.
His cold, sinister eyes fixed greedily on Sasuke, and he chuckled ominously, "Truly worthy of being that man's brother... Very good, excellent..."
"Damn it, were we... actually intimidated by this guy's aura?"
Naruto wore a look of utter disgust, as if he had just done something incredibly embarrassing.
Sakura's expression was also very subtle.
Orochimaru, however, looked utterly astonished: "...??"
His pupils contracted, and his gaze shifted uncertainly between the three people in Class 7, momentarily unable to grasp the situation.
what happened?
After I revealed my true form, the terrified expressions on the kids' faces actually disappeared?!
Instead, a strange... annoyance?!
Is it as if being afraid of yourself is something shameful?
Isn't my true identity more terrifying than that of an unknown ninja?
"What interesting little devils..." he muttered to himself, then gave a sinister smile, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes.
"Hum..."
Orochimaru chuckled twice, deliberately lowering his voice, and said to Sasuke in a seductive tone, "I see the shadow of Itachi Uchiha in you."
Nissan...
Sasuke involuntarily took a step forward, eagerly asking, "What do you know?!"
Could it be... that he knows information about the counterfeit product?!
Naruto and Sakura, who were standing nearby, also tensed up upon hearing this.
Itachi?
Sasuke's brother?!
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of worry in each other's eyes.
"Hey hey hey..."
Seeing Sasuke's turbulent emotions, Orochimaru's smile deepened. "That's right, that's the feeling! Your heart is filled with a thirst for power, and... hatred? Very good, excellent!"
He slowly stretched out his arms in an inviting gesture, his voice becoming increasingly seductive, "As long as you follow me, what does your brother matter? With your talent, once you accept my power, the mere Uchiha Itachi is nothing—only I can give you the power you need to defeat him!"
These words, like the temptation of the Garden of Eden, should have possessed a seductive power that corrupts the human heart.
However, he was not met with the anger or ecstasy he had imagined.
Sasuke couldn't help but roll his eyes and interrupt with a look of disdain, "Bullshit! You, can you even beat Brother? What a load of rubbish!"
"Exactly!" Naruto chimed in, "Who knows, we might even lose our hands in a single exchange!"
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru's smile froze instantly.
"you--"
His pupils suddenly contracted, and his face instantly turned ashen.
Those are shameful memories that I can't bear to look back on!
Before he defected from Akatsuki, he attempted to ambush Itachi Uchiha and steal his Sharingan, but was easily countered and had his left hand severed in an instant!
“You guys…” Orochimaru’s eyes twitched.
However, before Orochimaru could react, his expression suddenly changed slightly, as if he had sensed something, and he abruptly stopped in his tracks.
"Tsk..."
Orochimaru suddenly raised his head, his gaze towards Sasuke turning fervent: "Sasuke, I've come to give you a big gift!"
Before the three could react, he swiftly formed hand seals.
Orochimaru's neck suddenly became incredibly long and thin, and he shot towards Sasuke with a foul stench!
"Oops!"
Sasuke and Naruto felt a chill run down their spines.
Both of them were exhausted at this moment. After the fierce battle, their chakra was almost depleted, and they were at their last gasp to dodge this sudden fatal blow!
