Chapter 202: 3-Tomoe Open, Sasuke vs. Orochimaru
"Damn it, that charlatan almost scared me to death!" Upon seeing the new enemy appear, Naruto immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to show off his skills.
Sasuke already stole the show, now it's Naruto's turn.
"Naruto, don't act rashly. This guy is no ordinary person." Sasuke immediately stood in front of Naruto, still feeling lingering fear when he thought of the terrifying Wind Release technique from earlier.
That level of Wind Release ninjutsu would be difficult even for a Jonin to execute. Yet this guy did it with remarkable ease…
Damn it, how could this guy possibly be a genin?
"Who exactly are you?" Sasuke asked sharply, his crimson Sharingan staring intently at his opponent, trying to find some flaw.
"Not bad eyes, but if you want to know who I am, then let's see if you have the strength." Staring greedily and intensely at those Sharingan eyes, Orochimaru licked her lips, her pupils suddenly contracting as her killing intent erupted!
In an instant, a terrifying killing intent, like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, mixed with chakra and genjutsu pressure, surged towards Sasuke and the other two.
Instantly, Sasuke, standing at the very front, was the first to be hit! For a fleeting moment, he seemed to see hell, a vision of himself powerless and weak, struggling desperately on the edge of life and death…
Behind him, Naruto, who was about to make a move, was frozen in place, sweating profusely, as if possessed. Sakura, needless to say, was on the verge of collapse.
[Damn it! How could I be so weak? I was actually scared by mere killing intent. How can I, like this, ever surpass my senior brother and kill that man!]
[How could I, who already possesses strength comparable to a Jonin, be so easily intimidated! What about all my hard work training then??]
Now that Kakashi-sensei and my senior are gone, I have to rely on myself for everything. Whoever that guy is, I must defeat him and retreat with Naruto and Sakura.
"That's right, that's it! Now it's my turn to protect those two. If I can't even get past this, what's the point of talking about the future..."
"Heh! I never thought I'd care so much about that idiot. I was prepared to kill my brother at all costs to survive, but now I'm suddenly driven by a desperate impulse!" Sasuke suddenly chuckled, then looked resolutely at the Grass Ninja opposite him.
"However, this is who I am, Uchiha Sasuke. I will not let you harm my comrades. If I cannot even defeat someone like you, then it proves that my existence has come to an end!"
With that final, resounding sentence, Sasuke instantly unleashed a burst of power, his hands moving with lightning speed, rapidly forming hand seals. "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique..."
With a loud boom, Sasuke opened his mouth and spat out a fireball more than two meters in diameter, which rolled towards and engulfed his opponent.
Almost in the instant he blocked the other's view, Sasuke didn't hesitate to grab Naruto with one hand and Sakura with the other and instantly leave.
"Using Fire Release as cover to transfer teammates and protect them? Heh, that kind of trick won't work on me." Watching Sasuke's hurriedly disappearing figure, Orochimaru bit her finger and formed hand seals.
"Spiritual communication..."
With a loud bang, a giant brown snake, tens of meters long, appeared instantly. Its shadow flashed like lightning, leaving afterimages as it swiftly slithered through the forest and caught up with Sasuke in the blink of an eye.
"Damn it, that's...!" Sasuke's pupils shrank when he saw the giant snake behind him. He immediately put Naruto and Sakura down and his hands quickly formed hand seals again.
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique..." Almost as close as he was, Sasuke opened his mouth and unleashed a ferocious fire dragon roar that flew out.
The enormous fire dragon was almost the same size as the giant snake's head, and in the blink of an eye, it swallowed the snake's head, set it ablaze, and let out a painful roar...
"You've already mastered this level of fire jutsu? Let me see what other surprises you have in store for me." Snake Aunt's eyes were filled with surprise and delight, completely unconcerned that the giant snake was being consumed by flames.
The next second, "Hiss!!"
Just as Sasuke watched with a smile as the giant snake burned and disappeared, another foul-smelling hiss rang out behind him.
Sasuke instinctively turned around and saw a scene that made his scalp tingle and his mind go blank!
A giant snake appeared and, in the instant he turned around, opened its ferocious maw and swallowed Naruto and Sakura whole.
"Ah!!" Upon seeing this, Sasuke exploded on the spot, his Sharingan with two tomoe spinning rapidly in his pupils...
The Sharingan, which was already on the verge of merging with Hashirama's artificial cells, finally gave birth to a third black tomoe after a sudden mental stimulus.
"Die! Lightning Release: Swift Arrow..." Sasuke roared, forming hand seals as he charged towards the giant snake. Lightning crackled in his palm as he tried to rip the snake apart and save it.
But while he was fast, Snake Aunt was no slouch either. With a quick tap of her foot, the giant snake retreated swiftly away from the spot.
At the same time, with a single wave of his hand, several long snakes shot out at lightning speed, colliding fiercely with the lightning arrow, and electric snakes danced wildly...
"Three-tomoe Sharingan!! A power awakened to protect your comrades? Sasuke, your talent is in no way inferior to your brother's. I'm becoming more and more satisfied, Uchiha Sasuke." Looking at those scarlet, eerie three-tomoe Sharingan, Orochimaru almost couldn't help but reincarnate on the spot.
But she can't; now is not the time.
"Who are you?!" Upon hearing that the other party recognized Itachi, Sasuke's expression changed again, and he roared angrily.
But only for a moment, he quickly thought of Naruto and Sakura who had perished in the snake's belly, and immediately became angry and anxious as he formed hand seals again.
"Prepare yourself! Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique..."
With his eyes fixed on his opponent, Sasuke completed the hand seals and unleashed an unavoidable Fire Release killing move.
In an instant, four fire dragons spewed from Sasuke's mouth, attacking simultaneously from four directions: up, down, left, and right, completely blocking the opponent's escape route.
"Ah..." As expected, a scream rang out, and after a brief attempt to dodge, the opponent was still engulfed by the 100% hit fire jutsu.
Regardless of the outcome, Sasuke immediately turned and chased after Orochi.
"Dragon Flame Song Technique? Uchiha Fire Release, I feel like I've heard of this technique a long time ago. Sasuke, I'm really looking forward to your power more and more!" In the firelight, Snake Aunt, whose face had faded by half, laughed greedily again, opened her mouth and spat out another body that moved quickly through the trees like a long snake, biting at Sasuke's neck.
Such strength is enough to qualify him as a vessel for reincarnation, and his mark must be left beforehand.
"Damn it!!" Sasuke's expression changed again upon hearing the commotion behind him; he hadn't expected his opponent to be so troublesome.
He immediately used the Sharingan's superhuman perception to dodge quickly, and at the same time, a fierce glint appeared in his eyes as he decided to go for something ruthless!
Staring at the relentlessly pursuing serpentine monster, Sasuke gritted his teeth, formed hand seals, and unleashed a burst of power. "This is the last B-rank Fire Release technique I'll ever learn! Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation..."
In the blink of an eye, a stream of scorching fire erupted from Sasuke's mouth, sweeping across a hundred-meter radius and instantly igniting nearby trees, creating a raging sea of fire that burned everything in its path.
But that wasn't all. Just as Sasuke made his move, Naruto, who had been devoured by the snake, suddenly reappeared, shouting, "Sasuke, I'm here to help you! Wind Release: Great Breakthrough..."
The wind fuels the fire, and the fire amplifies the wind's power.
In an instant, the forest within a radius of several hundred meters was transformed into a fiery inferno, directly drawing the intense attention of the entire Death Forest...
