Chapter 46: Suppressing Orochimaru
“Whoosh!” Youyu’s figure turned into an afterimage as he shot toward Orochimaru.
Against this disgusting snake-playing bastard who had made him feel sick, Youyu had to cut him down with his own hands!
Just slashing at him from a distance was nowhere near enough to vent his anger!
“Swish—” A simple horizontal slash.
Shusui turned into a dark-purple phantom, enveloping Orochimaru completely.
“What?” Orochimaru’s snake-like pupils narrowed into vertical slits.
This slash looked plain and ordinary, yet it gave Orochimaru the feeling that every movement he could make had been completely sealed off.
For a moment, Orochimaru even felt suffocated.
Orochimaru had been on good terms with Sakumo Hatake when he was alive.
Naturally, he had sparred with Sakumo before as well.
But even when facing Sakumo Hatake, Konoha’s White Fang, Orochimaru had never felt swordsmanship this suffocating!
“Substitution Jutsu!” “Swish—” Orochimaru’s body was sliced cleanly in half, but in the next instant, it turned into a piece of dead wood and fell to the ground.
“There!” Even in his state of wine-fueled rampage, at such a close distance, his proficiency-level Observation Haki still locked firmly onto Orochimaru!
Youyu raised his hand and sent a slash straight toward Orochimaru, who was hiding on a large tree.
“Swish—” As Youyu brought Shusui down, a dark-purple streak roared out.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a ten-meter-tall dark-purple slash that surged toward Orochimaru.
“Whoosh!” Orochimaru’s expression changed.
He activated the Body Flicker Technique and appeared in the distance.
“Boom!!!” “Crack—crack—” That section of dense forest was instantly shredded apart by the violent dark-purple slash!
“Swish!” Before Orochimaru could even catch his breath, Youyu’s figure had already appeared in front of him.
A dazzling cold gleam lit up.
Shusui once again sealed off all of Orochimaru’s space.
“Damn it.
He’s not giving me even the slightest chance to breathe.” Orochimaru felt a trace of anger rise in his heart.
It was as if all his movements had been seen through by this brat.
Even when facing the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, Orochimaru had never been this passive.
However, as a Kage-level expert, Orochimaru was no pushover either.
He took out a kunai and wrapped it in chakra, swinging it fiercely toward Shusui as it descended on him.
“Clang!” Under Orochimaru’s shocked gaze, the kunai in his hand was cut in two by a single slash!
One had to know, he had infused that kunai with chakra.
And his chakra nature was Wind Release!
It could be called the sharpest chakra nature.
Yet before Youyu’s blade, it failed to create even the slightest obstruction.
Both the Wind Release chakra and the kunai were cut apart together!
“There is something strange about this brat’s blade!” Orochimaru looked at the black-purple blade and thought to himself.
His instincts told him this blade was abnormal!
It seemed to be wrapped in some kind of mysterious energy.
However, Orochimaru still used this opening to launch a counterattack.
“Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!” Orochimaru let out a low shout.
“Bang!” “Hiss—hiss—hiss—” A terrifying giant snake over a hundred meters long appeared out of thin air, hissing in a way that made one’s blood run cold.
Its massive head smashed fiercely toward Youyu.
“Clang!” Under Orochimaru’s surprised gaze, Youyu actually sheathed his blade.
“One-Sword Style—” Youyu looked at the hundred-meter giant snake crashing toward him, red light blazing in his eyes.
“Lion’s Dirge!” “Swish!” A brilliant blade light flashed!
The giant snake’s charging motion instantly froze.
“Puchi!” In the next moment, a dazzling streak of light appeared across the giant snake’s body.
The hundred-meter-long serpent was actually split completely in half from its head downward!
“What a sharp sword-drawing slash!” Orochimaru’s snake pupils contracted as he looked at the giant snake that had been cut in two.
“You damn snake-playing bastard!” Youyu glared at Orochimaru, the angry red glow in his eyes growing thicker and thicker.
This snake-playing bastard had already been disgusting enough with those poisonous snakes.
Now he had even brought out such a massive snake, making Youyu feel uncomfortable all over.
The more Youyu looked at Orochimaru, the more displeasing he became.
He had to cut him down before his anger could subside.
“Swish—swish—swish—” With a flash, Youyu once again appeared in front of Orochimaru.
Slash after slash, he hacked fiercely toward him.
“Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!” “Swish—” The hundred-meter giant snake was cut in two!
“Twin Snakes Mutual Death Step!” “Swish—” The two terrifying giant snakes had only just appeared before they were directly cut in half at the waist!
“Striking Shadow Snake—damn it!” Orochimaru’s snake pupils shrank violently.
The speed at which he summoned giant snakes actually could not keep up with Youyu’s speed in cutting them down.
Before his third ninjutsu, Striking Shadow Snakes, could even be released, an incomparably sharp blade light had already come slashing toward him.
Orochimaru could only dodge in a somewhat miserable manner.
… Hokage’s Office.
At this moment, the office was terrifyingly quiet.
“Hiss—” Suddenly, everyone sucked in a sharp breath, staring at the image in the crystal ball in disbelief.
“Orochimaru… is being suppressed…” Jiraiya stared fixedly at the crystal screen and muttered in disbelief.
Orochimaru, Konoha’s number two figure and one of the legendary Sannin, was actually being suppressed by Youyu!
Hiruzen Sarutobi’s eyes were also full of shock.
As his most prized disciple, Orochimaru’s strength was clear for all to see.
As early as the Second Shinobi World War, he had already earned the title of one of the Sannin.
His current strength was even more terrifying.
He possessed Kage-level power.
But at least in the current battle, every move and technique Orochimaru made seemed to be completely seen through by Youyu.
He had fallen entirely into a disadvantage!
“Does this brat not get tired?” Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Youyu’s increasingly sharp swordsmanship and cursed inwardly.
Youyu had already almost plowed through the entire Forest of Death.
Who knew how many boulders and giant trees had been cut into pieces by him?
Yet Youyu seemed completely unaware of fatigue.
Instead, the more he cut, the stronger he became!
A terrible thought appeared in Hiruzen Sarutobi’s mind.
Orochimaru… could not possibly lose to Youyu, right?
If that happened, this joke would be way too big!
