One-sided fight
A/N: Sorry about the release schedule, for a few days, I'm settling into a new job in real life, so I'll try to release chapters whenever possible, but after that, I'll go back to releasing daily.
On another note, Please tell me, is there some machine translated novels/fanfics you know and want to see the proofread and edited? I can maybe try that, suggest me some if you want to. If one was abandoned here on webnovel I can continue after it too.

Sakura and Yamato arrived near Naruto, who was locked in a fierce battle with Orochimaru.
*Boom*
The clash between these formidable ninjas reverberated through the forest, stirring the leaves and sending echoes of their chakra-enhanced attacks across the landscape. As Sakura and Yamato closed in, a mixture of concern and interest marked their faces.
Sakura was the one interested, meanwhile, Yamato was the one concerned.
Sakura was interested because she had not seen Naruto's abilities gained from Hayato-sensei.
'I know Hayato-sensei said most of his disciples would have differing abilities…'
But she was curious to see what Naruto had gotten.
When she asked her teacher about those abilities, he said he had a lot of things he could give them.
Ranging from ninja arts, and physical arts like Geppo from the six marines' arts which she had learned, to even Haki.
There was even the Sharingan and various other versions of it.
"Could it be…?"
But, seeing Naruto, she wondered if his ability was a devil fruit.
Meanwhile, with Yamato.
This guy, he was a highly skilled ninja with the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, and right now despite his anxiety, he was ready to provide invaluable support.
His Wood Release abilities allowed him to create defensive structures and formidable offensive weaponry, and he was prepared to employ them to tip the scales in their favor.
'However, the opponent is Orochimaru… one of the three legendary Sannin, could we win against someone like him?'
But he was not sure if he could go against Orochimaru.
'Still, we are here now, and it must be done'
He was about to engage and help Naruto when he saw Sakura raise her hand to stop him.
She shook her head.
"That idiot is having fun, and you should see how the fight is going before you make that decision"
True to what she said, as Yamato started to observe the fighting going on he was flabbergasted.
He saw how Naruto was fighting equally to Orochimaru.
Yamato even wondered if he was poisoned or something and was hallucinating. How could this be true?
He saw how Naruto kicked Orochimaru away into the trees, and then how Orochimaru easily, but disgustingly, repaired himself and attacked with a bunch of snakes rushing toward Naruto.
Naruto then slapped both hands together as they turned red into fire, and as he pulled them apart, he was holding a red flaming staff in his hands.
*Shing*
*Shing*
Naruto swung the staff by spinning it around him and chopped all those snakes easily.
Yamato had his mouth wide open, as he saw that anything Orochimaru threw at Naruto, he easily took care of it, and countered on his own.
Meanwhile, Sakura was nodding to herself.
'As expected of Hayato-sensei's first disciple'
***************
Naruto waved the staff around until no snake was left.
He was aware that they released poison when they were destroyed, but his flames were so hot that they burned everything including the poison.
"What type of ability is this?"
Orochimaru couldn't help but question Naruto.
Naruto just laughed in return.
Orochimaru knew he wasn't going to reply, but it was worth a try.
'Let's see if we can up our game'
Orochimaru suddenly did a few hand seals and opened his mouth wide open.
*AHHHHHHHHH*
He created a burst of sound waves that upsurged from around his vicinity.
It expanded until it reached Naruto.
But it didn't seem to do anything to Naruto who just stood there casually.
'Nine-tails chakra?'
Orochimaru wondered idly, but his hands hadn't stopped just yet, and once he finished doing the necessary hand seals, he suddenly had his hands on the ground.
[Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes]
And from his mouth, thousands of snakes started to emerge and spread out in an effort to attack Naruto.
The numbers of these snakes were so huge, that suddenly all Naruto could see was a wall of snakes in front of him, with each snake having a sword protruding from its mouth.
Naruto sweated at this, but not because he was scared but rather, rather the thought of these thousands of snakes was chill-inducing to him.
But, similar to Orochimaru earlier, he didn't stop his actions.
[Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku] (Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation)
Naruto kneaded the chakra inside his body, and it was then converted into fire, and then expelled from the mouth, and shaped into a literal sea of flames.
It covered a very wide range as well. This makes the technique extremely difficult to either avoid or contain, with it requiring the combined efforts of several Water Release users in order to extinguish the flames.
'The flames are also several times stronger due to my devil fruit, hehe'
He smirked and watched as the sea of snakes was engulfed by the sea of flames and subsequently destroyed in a second.
Orochimaru felt his lip stiffen up and twitch as he saw this.
"Now then, time to finish this"
But then his eyes further widened as he heard Naruto and saw small spheres of blue and red chakra start to fuse into a ball of chakra in front of Naruto's mouth.
He hurriedly slapped his hands on the ground.
[Kuchiyose: Sanjū Rashōmon] (Summoning: Triple Rashōmon)
This technique is an upgrade to the standard Rashōmon which is known in the ninja world for its defensive capabilities.
However, this one, as its name suggests summons not one, but three menacing Rashōmon.
The technique requires two summoning seals to be completed, and these gates serve the same function as the single Rashōmon, but with triple the defense. The first gate takes the attack head-on, the second reduces the attack's power and the third disperses the pressure, causing all attacks that come in contact with it to lose their power before they can be effective.
By the time the gates were fully made, the ball in front of Naruto was fully made and he sent it forth without the need to chew it or anything.
The tailed beast ball went forth and impacted the gates as it exploded.
It didn't take it even an instant to obliterate the three gates.
A huge shockwave ensued and the dust started flying around observing everyone around.
Sakura had predicted this and grabbed Yamato and retreated to a safe distance.
When the dust finally settled, everything was visible again.
Orochimaru had his body scorched.
He lost both arms, and his clothes were burned. His eyes were charred black and his hair was half falling.
It seemed like he was dead.
But Naruto knew better.
"Tch, this guy is slippery"
As he said, Orochimaru suddenly regurgitated another version of himself.
This version got out from the mouth of the previous one, and once it was done, seemingly, Orochimaru had no injuries.
But this time Orochimaru didn't plan to stay for long.
'This body is already close to its limit, I can't stay and play anymore,'
"Naruto, you have certainly gotten stronger,"
Orochimaru told him.
'Even stronger than Sasuke…'
He added in his mind.
"See you at a later time, Naruto"
And when Naruto was wondering what this old snake was up to, he suddenly saw him spit up multiple versions of himself.
Naruto wasted no time and shot forth multiple huge fireballs at each clone, but as they exploded and destroyed every clone, he found out that there was no Orochimaru left now.
"Tch, is it an earth release jutsu?"
He shook his head at this and turned to look at Sakura.
He saw her close her eyes for a second, and then she nodded her head.
He sighed and released his transformation.
'Although I must admit, this was a good fight…'
He started walking towards Sakura and Yamato.
