Chapter 47: Ten Thousand Snakes Formation
“Bang!
Bang!
Bang!” White smoke spread everywhere.
Countless ferocious giant snakes continuously appeared, snapping and biting!
Between those giant snakes, two figures kept crossing paths.
Swish—swish—swish— “Chi—chi—chi—” Brilliant blade lights flashed nonstop.
No one knew how many summoned giant snakes had been cut in half by that blade light.
The people around them had long since been scared stiff by this terrifying scene.
“N-No wonder he’s one of the legendary Sannin.” A Kumo ninja trembled all over, his lips shaking.
He had never even seen a giant snake over a hundred meters long before.
Against a monster of that size, even if there had only been one, if he had faced it, he would have been eaten without even scraps left behind.
“B-But that monster seems to have the upper hand?” Haneda Kaito stared at the incomparably fierce battle in disbelief.
That was one of the legendary Sannin!
A top powerhouse of the shinobi world who had fought Hanzo, the man known as the “Demigod,” during the Second Shinobi World War and made a tremendous name for himself in battle!
In terms of strength, perhaps Orochimaru was already comparable to the Kage of their own villages!
But what were they seeing?
An existence comparable to their village’s Kage was actually being suppressed by a guy taking the Chunin Exams together with them!
“W-We really survived by some miracle.” Everyone shuddered violently.
If this monster had not been drunk and unable to pinpoint their exact locations, they would have all been finished long ago!
Even so, fewer than half of the participants had survived!
A few small ninja villages had even been wiped out completely!
The fact that they had survived was truly luck!
“Damn it… is the gap really this big?” Kisame clutched his wound, where blood was still spilling out.
His shark-like eyes were filled with blood vessels as he stared fixedly at the two people in the middle of the battle.
He had nearly been cut in half by Youyu.
For the first time in his life, he had fled desperately like a stray dog.
After suffering such a huge loss, Kisame had long since made up his mind that once he returned to Kirigakure, he would train properly.
One day, he would repay this great humiliation!
But now, seeing Youyu and Orochimaru locked in such an intense battle, with Youyu even holding the advantage… Even Kisame began to lose confidence.
Was it really possible for him to defeat this monster?
… “Swish—” “Puchi!” With another slash, Youyu cut the two giant snakes lunging toward him into halves.
His face was full of irritation.
“Snake-player, don’t you have any other tricks?” Youyu raised Shusui, pointed it at Orochimaru, and panted slightly.
“Whoosh!” Taking advantage of this opening, Orochimaru flashed backward and widened the distance between himself and Youyu.
“Hah… hah… hah…” “D-Does this brat not get tired?” Orochimaru gasped for breath, his snake pupils fixed on Youyu, who was only panting a little.
His disbelief deepened.
Youyu had already used who knew how many slashes to nearly plow through the entire Forest of Death.
After this incident, this important Konoha training ground would probably have to be closed for repairs for quite a while.
After all, the forest had almost been destroyed by Youyu!
Yet even after all that, while Orochimaru himself was growing tired and had consumed a huge amount of chakra, this brat Youyu was only slightly out of breath?
Moreover, Orochimaru had discovered something that made him feel especially incredulous.
There was almost no chakra fluctuation in Youyu’s slashes!
This was simply incomprehensible to Orochimaru.
Even Sakumo Hatake, Konoha’s White Fang, needed to consume a considerable amount of chakra to unleash terrifying sword techniques.
But Youyu’s slashes consumed almost no chakra at all, as if they had been cut out of thin air.
This had already touched Orochimaru’s blind spot of knowledge.
He, Orochimaru, was one of the Sannin and Konoha’s number two figure!
Now Orochimaru was beginning to wonder who the real Sannin was supposed to be.
This damn brat should be Konoha’s number two figure instead!
“I’ll use that move.
Let’s see whether it works!” After thinking for a moment, Orochimaru gritted his teeth and began forming hand seals rapidly.
Even for him, this technique would consume a massive amount of chakra.
Konoha, Hokage’s Office.
“Bang!” “That seal!
Orochimaru, you bastard!” Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Orochimaru forming seals on the screen and slammed the table as he stood up.
The moment that seal appeared, it meant Orochimaru was starting to go all out!
“I never imagined Youyu would force Orochimaru this far.” Jiraiya looked at the battlefield inside the crystal ball, feeling as if his head still had not cleared up.
Forget Jiraiya.
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi felt like he was dreaming right now.
Youyu was actually fighting Orochimaru to a standstill, and on top of that, he even had the upper hand!
“Ninja Art!
Ten Thousand Snakes Formation!” At that moment, Orochimaru shouted loudly.
His entire body sprawled on the ground like a snake.
He opened his mouth to its widest limit.
In the next second, a scene that made everyone’s scalp go numb unfolded!
