vs. Orochimaru

The two looked at each other, knowing that a battle was inevitable

"Since that's the case, then I'll let you experience it." As he spoke, Naruto stretched out his right hand and instantly released Kidō.

"Hadō's #31 - Shakkahō."

Endless flames burst out from Naruto's palm, directly enveloping Orochimaru in front of him.

In an instant, the area where Orochimaru was located exploded violently. The flames were raging, and the sea of fire was spreading, shocking the surrounding animals to frantically flee.

The air was distorted by the high temperature, and the surroundings were scorched black.

"It's empty? As expected of Sannin, his reaction is really fast." Naruto praised as he pointed at an area with no one around and continued to instant-cast Kidō.

Hadō's #54.

The disc-shaped flames enveloped the area, and Orochimaru's figure finally appeared. He spoke with a slightly surprised voice,

"As expected of Naruto-kun. It seems that I have underestimated your potential. To be able to discover my true body so quickly, and this Kidō's power has already surpassed ordinary Ninjutsu. It is indeed not bad, but it is not enough to convince me of this."

The flames ignited Orochimaru's body, burning him continuously. However, Orochimaru's expression was still full of playfulness. Soon, the original Orochimaru gradually melted in the flames, and his real body used the snake double to easily get away from the sea of flames.

When he appeared again, his whole body was completely unharmed.

"Even Kidō #54, is ineffective?" Naruto chuckled.

After going through Mount Myōboku's cultivation, his Reiatsu had grown a little, and he was already able to instant-cast Kidō who was within sixty.

But against a shadow level expert, Kidō really wasn't enough.

"Fūton: Daitoppa."

"Hadō #33: Sōkatsui."

Ninjutsu and Kidō combined, and in an instant, the explosive flame that had fallen from the sky increased by several times under the enhancement of the great breakthrough, and it fell down like a meteorite toward the area where Orochimaru was.

Looking at the extremely powerful attack, Orochimaru's eyebrows jumped wildly, and his mouth was still beating Naruto's confidence.

"With Kyubi's Chakra, you can indeed use the powerful Ninjutsu, and even increase the power by a level with Kidō. But if this is Shinigami's potential, then it's too disappointing."

Orochimaru did not care about the water vapor rising from the flames. In the next moment, he passed through the sea of flames and appeared in front of Naruto. He stretched out his right hand and turned into endless snake shadows.

"Sen'ei Jashu."

"Ninjutsu who is riding the sky, interesting." Facing the self-created Ninjutsu that he had never seen before, Naruto suddenly thought of Jiraiya.

A toad and a snake. Wasn't this a natural enemy?

Naruto smiled and pulled out Kyōka Suigetsu. Sword flashed and instantly blocked the incoming snakes.

Almost in an instant, the heads of the snakes were cut off.

"Kidō is useless. Is he going to use Sword technique?" Orochimaru opened his mouth wide, and in the eyes of Naruto, he spat out the Kusanagi Sword from his mouth to meet Kyōka Suigetsu.

Your method of storing swords is really surprising, but if your weapon volume is just for a variety show, then it will be very disappointing. Naruto sneered, and the Kyōka Suigetsu in his hand waved Reiatsu's ripples.

Although Orochimaru was obsessed with research all year round, his own strength did not fall, Taijutsu's experience was not much worse than Jiraiya's, and he had experienced hundreds of thousands of times more battles than Naruto.

Therefore, after a few rounds of probing, Orochimaru roughly figured out Naruto's level.

In his heart, he was quite surprised by Naruto's talent.

At the age of twelve, he already had a good Sword technique and Ninjutsu, and even Kekkei Genkai, who had full potential. This could be a genius.

Unfortunately, such a genius could not become his own form at the moment.

Orochimaru's mind moved slightly, and the sword in his hand was extremely fast.

"Clang clang clang! Clang clang!" The sound of swords clashing rang out in the dense forest. Sword marks continued to appear in the surrounding trees.

Every time Sword flashed, a large tree would collapse.

It could be called the first combination of trees in the forest.

Orochimaru's Shunpo was very exquisite, and with good swordsmanship, he stabbed his sword at the vital point.

Naruto had experienced demon-like Taijutsu and tactical training, and together with Shunpo, he could match Orochimaru's speed in front of him.

However, in the continuous battles, he could not help but fall into a disadvantage.

Of course, this was because Orochimaru was going easy on him.

In the battle, he did not forget to provoke Naruto with words, "Hey, Naruto-kun, if this is all you have, then Shinigami and Hollow's potential is not enough to move me."

As a cold poisonous snake, he was good at playing with his opponent physically and mentally, causing double blows.

However, what surprised him was that in the face of his ridicule, Naruto still had a warm expression, without a trace of displeasure.

This kind of shrewdness made Orochimaru admire him very much.

And Naruto also regarded Orochimaru as the best grinding stone for Sword and integrated the knowledge of Taijutsu and tactics he had learned during this period of time.

Unknowingly, the surroundings of the two had become bare, and the ground was full of messy Sword marks. The battle formation caused by the two people's fierce fight had even scared away countless beasts.

This made the other examinees suffer, they were still walking, but they always encountered all kinds of large beasts.

"It's time to end this. I'm going to find Uchiha Sasuke too." Orochimaru looked at the sky and revealed a perverted smile.

He increased his speed and knocked Naruto back with a single sword.

With his speed increasing, he directly got close to Naruto and continuously thrust out his Kusanagi Sword.

"Chi." The Kusanagi Sword passed through Naruto's shoulder, but there was no resistance as expected.

"Kawarimi no Jutsu is quite skilled." Sensing Sword's wind on the right, Orochimaru did not hesitate to pull out his Kusanagi Sword and stab it head-on.

"Clang!" A power that could paralyze the arm came, and Orochimaru's expression immediately changed.

Naruto was actually hiding his strength?

In the next moment, he only felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and he was kicked into the sky by Naruto.

"Hadō's #12 - Hidden Fire." Kidō's net directly bound Orochimaru.

Naruto raised his right hand again: "Hadō #33: Sōkatsui."

"Boom!" A violent burst of flames erupted from Naruto's hand, directly enveloping Orochimaru.

"Hahaha, Naruto-kun, as I said, your Kidō is completely useless to me." Orochimaru did not panic at all, but instead smiled evilly. However, his expression froze in the next moment, and he said,

"Why is my Chakra frozen?"

What answered him was endless burst flames.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The area with Orochimaru as the center immediately burst into hot sparks, and thick smoke almost covered the sky.

The entire area had already turned into a sea of flames.

Under the contrast of the flames, Naruto's expression was warm. With a bright and gentle smile, he slowly said,

"Kidō is not only destructive but there are also restrictions and medical treatment. The fire I use can temporarily slow down Chakra's flow. Although for a Kage rank expert, the control time will not exceed three seconds, three seconds is enough."

"Orochimaru-san, I don't know if this is enough to prove Shinigami's potential."
