Fighting Orochimama! (2)

"Muhahaha!!! To think that I suffered against a genin in battle." Orochimama laughed at the irony of the situation. It's just a few months before, she killed the Hokage, and she is now on the losing end against a genin.

However, she didn't feel the need to belabor the point because there's really no point in doing so!

Slithering Snake Mode Jutsu!

Orochimama suddenly opened her mouth, letting out a new body that has a snake's tail. This jutsu greatly increases her speed and agility, helping her close the gap between herself and Sasuke!

In an instant, she had closed the gap between them, her teeth bared in a triumphant grin. Her tongue extended out from her mouth once more to wrap around Sasuke's throat.

And… It was a success!

She could feel her tongue wrapping around the delicate skin of Sauske's neck! Once her snake-like tongue strangles Sasuke, it'll be hard for him to escape! Then, Sasuke will be at her mercy!

*PUFF!*

Just as she thought she had the advantage, Sasuke's body suddenly turned into the old body that she had come out of!

At this moment, she isn't wrapping her tongue around Sasuke's body – she was wrapping her tongue around the husk of a body that she had left behind!

"What?" Orochimama was baffled. It's clear that Sasuke had used the Substitution Jutsu, but she couldn't understand how that was possible!

Her speed was incredibly fast, and she didn't believe that Sasuke could activate the substitution jutsu that quickly!

…

My Sharingan was able to see Orochimama's movements. I then used the instant cast on the Substitution Jutsu, switching places with Orochimama's husk body that she left behind.

And I – who had the advantage – will not sit still.

I immediately reactivated the camouflage technique before instant casting the body flicker to re-appear behind Orochimama.

I also unsheathed the Kusanagi sword.

I slashed down on Orochimama, aiming to decapitate her in half.

However, Orochimama was still extremely fast in her half snake mode. She ducked down under my sword, and she turned her body around before trying to strangle me once more with her tongue.

It seems that she doesn't really have the attacking capabilities due to the lack of hand jutsu and the lack of a sword.

But even though she is fast…

Body Flicker!

I reappeared on top of her and swung down, chopping down at her head.

Again, Orochimama was able to dodge the sword by doing a donkey roll on the ground. Although it was shameful, she was able to avoid having her head split in half.

Her tongue then stretched upwards, trying to grab me.

Annoyed by the tongue, my body flickered to the side before dicing the tongue up like an expert chef.

(A/N: *Gets flashback of the dark past*)

"ksss!!" Orochimama hissed and retreated after having her tongue cut up.

Was she able to get far, though? NO!

Body Flicker!

Body Flicker!

Body Flicker!

Body Flicker!

I'm able to spam the body flicker, and I did exactly that. At this moment, one might even compare me to the Yellow Flash Minato or the Teleporter, Shisui Uchiha!

Along with each body flicker, I slashed at Orochimama, slicing her body in numerous parts. Her limbs were cut off once more… Even her torso was slashed in half.

(A/N: …. I swear, it's not going to be the same as last time! Trust me! )

To recover from this defeat, Orochimama used the Gathering of Snakes Regeneration Jutsu.

Visages of snakes appeared from all of her cut off body parts, and they stretched towards their origin, and she became reconnected once more.

Her tongue, however, was too far away to be reattached.

Orochimama could feel how problematic the situation was, so she retreated as far as possible from Sasuke while she still had her speed. Eventually, she was able to escape from the Hundred Flower Blossoms Jutsu's area of effect.

It was already hard enough to keep track of Sasuke within that area, and he's even using a high speed movement technique in there. Orochimama felt that she would really lose if she kept fighting in close combat.

Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes!

Orochimama decided to fight at a distance, and she laid on the ground before releasing ten thousand snakes from her mouth!

Each and every one of the snakes slithered out at an extreme speed, coagulating towards Sasuke's Blossom Domain.

…

I deactivated the Hundred Blossoms Jutsu and the Camouflage Technique. Orochimama is already far away, so there's no need for me to use it anymore.

Instead, I had to counter the thousands of snakes that are coming towards me.

To do so, I threw the Senbon Needle Bells towards my left and right before activating the Genjutsu Clone Technique.

Twenty Plus clones appeared, and all of us used the Fireball Jutsu. In addition, we also spammed the Demonic Flames Genjutsu which then became real thanks to Yakumo's kekkei genkai.

Although the Fireball Jutsu had a wide range of effects, there are still gaps, so I made the clones use the Demonic Flames Genjutsu to destroy any snakes that escaped the Fireball.

"SUMMONING JUTSU!" Behind the flames, Orochimama created a new body with the Body Replacement Jutsu. Her tongue was recovered, and she then used the blood from the previous body to summon Manda – the purple snake.

"Orochimaru… I will require at least a hundred human sacrifices if you want me to fight." Manda commented as it saw the wall of flames destroying the thousands of little snakes.

"Fine by me." Orochimama said as she stood on the head of Manda.

"GOOD!" Manda slithered towards Sasuke before turning around and slamming its tail downwards.

As it slammed down, it managed to disrupt the noise of the bell sound, and all of the Genjutsu Clones were disabled.

Body Flicker!

Demonic Flames Prison!

I dodged the tail slam with the body flicker before encasing Manda and Orochimama inside of the Demonic Flames Prison Genjutsu.

Around them, an enormous cage of fire was made. It quickly burned the two who were inside.

While they were burning, I created an Earth Golem that's the same size as Manda with the Petrification Glove.

*RUMBLE!!*

Manda dug into the earth before escaping out of the flame prison. Its outer scales were damaged, but it was able to shed it and create a new set of scales as it dug into the ground.

"KSSSS!!! You're quite strong, brat." Manda hissed in a hostile manner. It glared at the Rock Golem that was made.

"I know." I said as I willed the Rock Golem to move forward and attack Manda.

Manda also slithered forward once more, wanting to destroy the piece of rock that the brat had made.

It opened its mouth wide to bite down on the Rock Golem…

But at this juncture, the brat on the Golem did something extremely unexpected. He didn't even try to avoid its mouth, and the brat jumped right into it…

"Huh?" Even Orochimama was dumbfounded. Jumping into Manda's mouth is no different from suicide. It could swallow a human sized pipsqueek in milliseconds.

*BOOM!*

While the opponents were distracted, the Rock Golem lunged forward and plugged its hand into Manda's mouth, completely covering anything from going in or out.

This made Manda and Orochimama even more stupefied. They wondered if Sasuke was committing suicide.

Then next instance, however, they saw that Manda's body began to bloat! It's then that they realized what Sasuke was doing!

…

…

Summoning Jutsu!

Summoning Jutsu!

Summoning Jutsu!

I spammed three types of Summoning Jutsu: The Ogre Path, The Slug Path, and the Toad Path.

Killing Manda might be difficult if I attacked it normally, but this is different. I wanted to explode it from inside out with the summons!

"W-where is this?" Katsuya was summoned into the body of Manda, and she became confused.

"Kek! WHO SUMMONED ME IN HERE?!" The Toad Chief was also enraged because it kept being summoned in strange places.

As for the three Ogres… they just stood still and acted as extra substance.

Manda's body twitched furiously due to the sudden emergence of the creatures inside of its body. Although a snake's body can expand quite a lot… having two large creatures and some other things in its stomach at the same time is just too much! It felt like it's on the verge of exploding!

"Uraghh!!" The Toad Chief struggled for a second before pulling out its enormous sword and puncturing Manda's belly.

In no time at all, an entrance was made through the flesh of Manda that's already stretched thin from the inside…

"KSSS!!" Manda screeched in pain before disappearing into a puff of smoke.

I escaped the belly of Manda while standing on top of the Toad Chief.

"Who is on my head?! WHO IS IT?! Is it you, Jiraiya?!" The Toad Chief angrily asked after feeling someone standing on its head.

"You can go now. I don't need you anymore." I said as I deactivated all of my summons. I only needed them to take care of Manda.

Since the snake is taken care of, I naturally don't need them any more.

"WHO ARE YOU, YOU BASTAR—-!!"

*Puff!*

All of the summons disappeared into smoke.

…

…

Thanks to the smoke from the summoned creatures, there was fog all over the battlefield swirling on the ground in tendrils and patches of gray.

"Impressive, Sasuke…" Orochimama heaved in exhaustion as she landed on the ground not far from Sasuke. She had been losing the battle ever since the beginning. She felt that she didn't have any chances of winning in her current state.

"I take this as my win then? Since it's like this… then do you admit defeat?" I winked at Orochimama before taking off my headband and showing the diamond shaped seal on my forehead.

"HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!?" Orochimama felt overwhelmed when she saw the Seal on Sasuke's forehead. She could clearly tell that Sasuke is using Tsunade's Jutsu – The Yin Seal! (Yang Seal)

She knew the capabilities of the Yin Seal. Though, she had thought that only women can learn that technique!

Orochimama wondered… just how much of a genius Sasuke is. Throughout this whole battle, Sasuke had been using techniques that are of an extremely high. Not only that, but he is extremely proficient in each and every one of his jutsu!

"Yang Seal… Release!" I activated the seal. Although it only has a few days worth of chakra, it's still an overpowered skill!

[ SYSTEM REMINDER: Yang Seal has been released. The following changes have occurred.

Advanced Chakra Reserve → Expert Chakra Reserve (Temporary)

Intermediate Chakra Control → Advanced Chakra Control (Temporary) ]

"Oh? Even Chakra Control goes up a level?" I was only thinking about beating up Orochimama some more after releasing the Yang Seal. But if it also increases my Chakra Control to Advanced, then this means…

"Adamantine Chains!" I casted this jutsu for the first time.
