Ch. 58. Cooperation. [1]

Boar shouted after completing the seal:

- "[Earth-Style: Earth Dragon Bullet]!"

In front of him, an earthen dragon head protruded and sprayed out a large number of earthen dragon bullets.

　　These clay bombs are the size of basketballs, extremely fast and have a long range.

　　Orochimaru sneered:

- "This kind of ninjutsu also wants to hurt me?"

　　At the same time, Zō seal is also completed:

- "[Fire-Style: Fire Bullet]!"

Fire came out of his mouth, and the target was not Orochimaru, but the Earth Dragon Bullet released by Boar.

　　The flames clung to the earth dragon bullet.

　　Fire bombs have short range and slow speed. But after being attached to the earth dragon bullet, these weaknesses were immediately made up for.

　　Earth and fire bombs flew quickly towards Orochimaru.

　　In the woods nearby, Mizuki was watching the battle.

　　Although he was very confused, Orochimaru actually made a special trip for himself.

　　However, he had no interest in joining Orochimaru.

　　He was not in a hurry to show his face. It was none of his business to fight life and death between Orochimaru and Konoha Anbu.

　　It would be best if all three ANBU were killed so that Sandaime could feel sorry for themselves.

　　Mizuki:

- "These two ANBU are quite capable. They can combine Earth Release and Fire Release to perform combined ninjutsu!"

- "The earth dragon bullet is weak in lethality, but has a long range and is fast. Even if it hits the enemy, it will not cause effective damage; the fire bomb is strong in lethality, but the short range is slow and the enemy can dodge easily."

- "But by combining the two and complementing each other, the shortcomings are overcome and the power is doubled."

- "In the original anime, Sandaime used this trick when fighting Orochimaru. However, Sandaime used it alone, but here it is used by two people together."

- "What a pity. Ninjutsu of this level poses no threat to Orochimaru."

The next moment, Orochimaru was hit by several earth-fire bombs and let out a shrill scream.

　　In the blink of an eye, it burned to ashes!

　　But Zō and Boar didn't relax, because the [Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes] was still there, which meant that Orochimaru was not dead at all.

　　Seeing the snakes getting closer and closer, Zō formed seals again:

- "[Thunder-Style: Earth Walk]!"

He pressed his hands on the ground, and the lightning spread along the ground to all sides.

　　Thousands of venomous snakes were electrocuted to death. In the blink of an eye, all the venomous snakes were lying dead.

　　The [Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes] is broken!

　　But the price is also high.

　　He was hunched over, gasping for air, and his legs were shaking:

- "Boar, my chakra is exhausted!"

　　After releasing multiple ninjutsus with great power and wide range, even a jounin could not hold on.

　　Zō ate a soldier's grain pill to restore chakra, and at the same time, his eyes scanned the surroundings, focusing on alert.

　　Boar stood aside, his hands already raised, ready to form seals at any time.

　　Suddenly, the Zō shouted:

- "Here we come!"

　　No need to remind, Boar has already seen it.

　　Among the pieces of dead snakes, one snake suddenly moved, its mouth opened, and Orochimaru emerged from it.

　　It was so sticky that Mizuki almost vomited from his overnight meal:

- "It's so disgusting!"

　　He was a little overwhelmed and curious at the same time.

　　For such a thin little snake, how did Orochimaru hide in the belly of the snake?

　　But Orochimaru looked at where Mizuki was hiding, and laughed in a hoarse voice:

- "I've seen enough, then, these two people are useless."

- "[Hidden Shadow Snake Hands]!"

　　Orochimaru raised his hand, and several snakes as thick as arms emerged from his sleeves, shooting towards Zō and Boar.

　　Boat reacted quickly and quickly formed seals with his hands:

- "[Earth-Style: Earth Wall]!"

　　Orochimaru sneered:

- "Naive!"

　　Although the earth flow wall blocked the front, the snakes released by Orochimaru were not dead. These snakes were seen directly bypassing the earth wall and entangling Zō and Boar at extremely fast speeds.

　　But the next moment, Zō turned into lightning and dispersed, and Boar turned into a clay figure.

　　Orochimaru:

- "The [Lightning Clone] and the [Earth Clone]?"

　　The earth flow wall blocked part of Orochimaru's field of vision, so that when Orochimaru discovered it, the two of them had already run away.

　　Orochimaru did not chase, but turned his head and glanced at the forest, and then at the unconscious Sakura on the ground.

　　Orochimaru:

- "Trash without talent does not deserve to live in this world."

- "[Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!]"

　　The arm turned into a poisonous snake and bit Sakura.

　　The next moment, Sakura disappeared and was replaced by Mizuki holding a kunai.

　　"Uh-Huh!"

　　Blood spurted out and the snake's head was cut off.

　　Orochimaru looked at Mizuki, a smile appeared on his lips, and he opened his mouth to speak hoarsely:

- "Do you know what eternal life is, Mizuki-kun?"

　　It was the old religious leader who opened his mouth.

　　Mizuki looked at Orochimaru coldly and said:

- "You must have said this to Itachi Uchiha. You said it to me again today. Do you want to take over my body?"

- "What a pity, I'm not an Uchiha, I'm just a civilian ninja with ordinary blood."

　　Orochimaru's pupils shrank suddenly, and a panic surged in his heart:

- "You...how did you know?"

- "Kabuto told you? No, even Kabuto doesn't know about the conversation between Itachi and I during the genjutsu."

- "Could it be that you are related to Itachi?"

　　Orochimaru suddenly panicked.

　　He even suspected that Uchiha Itachi was nearby.

　　Mizuki:

- "Haha, how do I know? You don't need to know. Anyway, I know more than you think."

　　Orochimaru's face was gloomy, and the eyes he looked at Mizuki began to be filled with murderous intent.

　　Mizuki smiled and said:

- "It's not that easy to kill me. I advise you not to waste your efforts. In fact, I have no interest in being your enemy. We can even cooperate."
