"Who is stronger? You or Sasuke?"

The question suddenly came, from none other than Orochimaru.

The former Konohagakure's legendary Sannin. Yes, it was him in the flesh.

By his side, in a cloak was Kabuto.

Naruto and Co had just met them.

It turned out Kabuto was the spy of Sasori.

Sakura and Naruto shared a look.

"This guy, he's the former teammate of Jiraiya-sensei"

Naruto spoke up in a whisper.

But his next words though, were spoken loudly.

"I have seen them both, and can confirm now, that the Pervy sage can take this guy down"

His words made Sakura facepalm.

'However,'

But having sensed both parties, she would have to agree.

'It seems to be true'

Jiraiya just gave her the feeling that he could beat Orochimaru.

She nodded towards Naruto's direction.

Yamato who was seeing what was happening was sweating.

'This is Orochimaru here, you guys! Take it seriously, we're in danger'

He wanted to yell, but the words didn't want to come out.

Thus, he just glared at them.

Meanwhile, Sai just took things silently while looking at Orochimaru with a certain glint in his eyes.

"Hahahaha"

A laugh originating from Orochimaru took them all by surprise.

"It seems like you aren't as stupid as you look, Naruto, you at least know how to taunt me back, even if the attempt is cute at best"

His words were spoken and Naruto just shrugged.

"I just said the truth, wasn't taunting you,"

"As for Sasuke, we'll see if you gave him what he wanted or not when we meet" Naruto had a cheerful smile.

Since they met Orochimaru here, he was sure that Sasuke was nearby then.

When he replied to him, Orochimaru could sense he was telling the truth, but he didn't get hurt or anything.

He was just surprised a bit.

He always thought that fool Jiraiya was nowhere near his power.

Perhaps he should verify this.

As for Naruto…

'This kid has gotten interesting during the last two years, Hehe'

Right now, he was very interested in how different this Naruto was from expectations.

But the moment he decided to attack, it was as if both Naruto and Sakura detected it, and they instantly appeared near him.

*Boom*

Orochimaru had a frown on his face at that moment.

He hurriedly dodged backward, making Sakura punch the bridge they were on, but it was just a distraction, as he found Naruto kicking toward him with no room to dodge.

Orochimaru was launched into the forest nearby breaking through the trees on his way.

Naruto without waiting for his teammates followed the old snake.

His legs lighted with fire before he was suddenly launched toward Orochimaru.

Yamato and co didn't know what that was, even Sakura didn't know.

'I'll ask that idiot later'

She shelved it for later.

Yamato then ordered Sai to save Sakura since he was near her, but as she was falling, Sai who was on his birds ignored her and went upwards.

Yamato cursed and was about to use his wood jutsu to save her when he suddenly saw her kick the air and float in place.

[Geppo]

She kept kicking the air as if there were invisible places she was stepping on, and both Sai and Yamato didn't know what the hell was going on anymore.

"I destroyed the bridge, of course, I have the means to recover from it" She sighed.

The bridge was bad news since they couldn't fight on it otherwise, they would be inconvenienced.

Turning their attention to Orochimaru, they found Kabuto had slipped up somehow, and they ignored him at any rate.

Yamato then glared at Sai.

"You ignored my orders!"

He was seething with this guy, but Sai didn't even stop to acknowledge him.

Meanwhile with Naruto.

He had just reached near Orochimaru.

"Alright, let's get this going,"

He cracked his shoulder, as he saw how Orochimaru got up from the ground and dusted his clothes casually not injured in the least.

"Snake guy, tell me, can Sasuke defeat you?"

Naruto posed his question.

In his opinion, since Sasuke sought this guy for strength, he should at least be stronger than him now, right?

Orochimaru just laughed in return.

"Sasuke has gone a long way,"

"However, it's still a long way before he can beat me, though I'm curious, why you're asking?"

Orochimaru's tone of curiosity was plain and obvious.

Naruto scratched his ears and formulated how to say it correctly.

He finally nodded.

"Well, there's no other way to say this, but that guy sought you to get stronger, but… you're pretty weak"

Orochimaru started laughing at that.

"Ah, young people always are inexperienced, but it doesn't mean they can be arrogant, Naruto"

He advised him with a smile, and then suddenly attacked.

[Binding Snake Glare Spell]

Snakes burst froth from his sleeve and went toward Naruto.

They coiled around his body, and he found that his movements were conscripted.

"If you aren't strong yourself, don't tell people they are weak"

Orochimaru licked his lips, but his eyes widened the next instant.

Naruto's body suddenly exuded a red chakra cloak, with three tails on the back, and they expanded until the snakes burst into ashes.

Naruto then grinned.

"I am strong though" Naruto's words came cheekily.

It was true to an extent since this three-tailed form gave him a boost to his body.

Speed, power, and even regenerative power were given to him at this moment.

Orochimaru who knew about the tailed beast transformation was surprised at this moment.

'Interesting'

Since he saw how Naruto was still speaking with him casually as if the eroding chakra had no effect on his mentality.

'Now then, he's a snake, and snakes should be burned, right?'

He nodded to himself, and he put his hand in front of his body like he was holding two guns.

*Pew* *Pew*

[Higan] (Fire Gun)

Naruto turned his fingertips into fire and shot bullets made of compressed flame from them.

The bullets came at Orochimaru who didn't know how this jutsu was possible, since he clearly saw Naruto's fingers turn red.

As such, he was caught off guard and flame bullets managed to puncture holes through his body and even cut one of his hands off.

"What type of jutsu is this, or perhaps is this a bloodline limit?" Orochimaru was full of interest as he saw what was happening. Naruto was giving him a thrill he had missed feeling for a while.

Though it seemed like Naruto had done some substantial damage, it was actually nothing.

Snakes emerged from both parts of the cut hand of Orochimaru.

And then they extended until they connected before they pulled the hand back to its place.

Similarly, the holes in his body filled with snakes, and when they cleared his skin was back as it was.

"Augh, gross,"

Naruto spat on the ground as he saw the snakes writhing before they fixed Orochimaru.

"I hope Sasuke didn't learn any of this"

He muttered under his breath, but the old snake heard him regardless and just smirked.

"Now then, should we continue"

Orochimaru licked his lips.

It seemed like this Naruto wasn't as weak as he expected.
