Chapter 62: The Swollen-Headed Naruto, The Perfectly Timed Arrival
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The howling wind, like a typhoon passing through, spread across nearly half of the Forest of Death.
Especially the examinees who were relatively close to Team 7 had just turned their heads towards the direction of the wind, when the strong wind had already swept over.
The examinees who were flying in an instant were blown away by the strong wind and crashed into towering trees.
The examinees walking on the ground were like being suddenly pushed hard, directly falling to the ground.
Crack crack crack...
Rumble rumble rumble...
In the sound of the strong wind, there were faintly mixed sounds of objects breaking and collapsing.
The scene zoomed in, and it could be seen that the airflow in a certain area had been distorted, like a whirlpool in the sea.
The towering trees within the whirlpool all bent their waists, and finally, unable to withstand it, broke apart and crashed heavily on the ground, stirring up dust and mist all over the sky.
Fortunately, these strong winds were not sharp, and the Forest of Death was a primeval forest, with every tree being a towering giant that took more than a dozen people to hug, extremely tough.
Otherwise, more trees would have been broken, and even the entire area would have become a wasteland.
Even so, this scene was no less than the Wind Style: Air Current Wild Dance performed by Temari leading the Wind Style Squad against the Ten-Tails in the Fourth Great Ninja War in the original work, and even stronger.
When the strong wind disappeared, the forest where Team 7 was located had also become a mess.
Naruto Uzumaki's three hundred shadow clones had all disappeared, blown away by his own Wind Style.
"This... this is the power of the dead last?"
Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, who had been moved to the back by the shadow clones and used a towering tree as cover, looked at the messy forest with trembling eyes.
Clearly, Sasuke Uchiha didn't expect Naruto Uzumaki's strength to be so powerful.
"You're kidding, Naruto is actually this strong?!" Sakura Haruno also covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Due to the mission in the Land of Waves, they didn't encounter Zabuza Momochi. Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno's impression of Naruto Uzumaki was still stuck at the stage of being played by Kakashi Hatake and scared silly by the Demon Brothers.
The only bright spot was his huge chakra and the fact that he had somehow learned the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.
As a result, they didn't expect Naruto Uzumaki to possess the power to create natural disasters!
If he was the dead last, then what was she, the top student?
It turned out... she was the weakest existence in the team!
"Hahaha..."
At this moment, a burst of laughter entered the ears of the two.
Following the direction of the sound.
On a fallen big tree, Naruto Uzumaki stood with his hands on his hips, laughing triumphantly, "Have you seen how powerful I am! This is my true strength, whether it's Izayoi, or Hinata and that arrogant Sasuke, or that bushy eyebrows, they will all become my underlings!"
"A very powerful combination technique, I was almost killed by you."
Suddenly, a voice rang in Naruto Uzumaki's ears, stopping his laughter abruptly.
Before Naruto Uzumaki could turn his head or instantly pull away, two large snakes, like ropes, bound his body, leaving only his stomach exposed.
Then a completely unharmed figure slowly emerged from the ground, showing him a playful smile.
"Damn it, let me go quickly."
Naruto Uzumaki kept struggling, and his eyes unknowingly turned into red vertical pupils.
Seeing these eyes, Orochimaru smiled, "As expected, it's you, brat."
"What do you mean 'as expected, it's me'? What are you talking about?" Naruto Uzumaki shouted, "If you have the guts, let me go and then have a fair fight!"
"Hehe..."
Orochimaru smiled, "If you hadn't used that set of combination techniques just now, I wouldn't have minded playing with you. But now, you'd better be quiet."
After speaking, Orochimaru lifted Naruto Uzumaki's clothes with one hand, while the five fingers of the other hand were wrapped in blue chakra flames, these flames forming the five characters of wind, fire, water, earth, and lightning.
"Let go of Naruto!"
At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha's voice came from far to near, and his figure appeared out of thin air next to Orochimaru, kicking out.
Unfortunately, his speed was still a bit slow.
"Five Elements Seal!"
Orochimaru's five fingers were like claws, striking Naruto Uzumaki's stomach with one palm, while raising the other hand to block the shin kicked by Sasuke Uchiha.
Naruto Uzumaki was blown away by the palm, and Orochimaru was also kicked away by Sasuke Uchiha.
"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame."
Sasuke Uchiha pressed his attack, quickly forming hand seals and spitting out a wisp of flame that grew into a fire dragon, roaring towards Orochimaru.
Orochimaru, who had already landed, looked at Sasuke Uchiha's two-tomoe Sharingan through the fire dragon, his eyes filled with greed.
At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the time when he secretly watched Itachi Uchiha train.
Such speed, and opening the two-tomoe Sharingan at this age.
Perhaps this young man is no less talented than his elder brother.
He must obtain such a body.
So, Orochimaru quickly formed hand seals: "Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall."
With a bang, a thick and wide wall rose from the ground, blocking the roaring fire dragon.
Sasuke Uchiha, who had already used Lightning Release chakra to stimulate his cells and increase his speed, did not go around behind, but took out a kunai and quickly cut the snakes binding Naruto Uzumaki, then pulled Naruto Uzumaki and dashed towards the forest.
"Sasuke, where are you taking me?"
The already swollen-headed Naruto Uzumaki shouted loudly, "Let me down quickly, I'm going to show that snake-playing guy what's what!"
"Idiot, can't you see it yet?" Sasuke Uchiha scolded in a low voice, "Your level of Wind Style can't hurt him at all, we are not on the same level as him."
Hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki finally woke up.
That's right, he only knew that one combination technique now.
The opponent only needed to use Earth Style to burrow into the ground to easily dodge his attack.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Sasuke Uchiha's speed was very fast. If he was escaping alone, Orochimaru might need some time to catch up.
Unfortunately, he had a burden by his side.
Before they left the open area and entered the forest, Orochimaru's voice reached their ears.
Turning their heads, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki were almost scared to death.
Orochimaru's body was bent, like a human snake, but he was rushing towards them at the speed of an arrow.
That terrifying face and hideous smile, even if they escaped this time, would probably leave a significant shadow in the hearts of Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Naruto Uzumaki quickly formed hand seals, wanting to create hundreds of shadow clones again.
Unfortunately, his chakra was now extremely chaotic, and he could only create twenty or so shadow clones.
As soon as these shadow clones appeared, they quickly formed hand seals, preparing to use Wind Style: Great Breakthrough again.
But the next second, these shadow clones, just like when Sasuke Uchiha first learned the Great Fireball Technique, could only spit out a small stream of air.
"Eh! Why is this happening?!" Naruto Uzumaki shouted with wide eyes, unable to believe it.
"It's the sealing technique from just now!"
Sasuke Uchiha was sweating profusely, becoming more and more certain that this guy was definitely not a Genin.
Seeing that they couldn't even escape, Sasuke Uchiha directly threw Naruto Uzumaki to the side, turned around and rushed towards Orochimaru, shouting, "Dobe, I'll buy you time, you go outside and find help!"
"No way, I can't abandon my comrades!"
Naruto Uzumaki, who had landed, got up and was about to rush over to fight alongside Sasuke Uchiha.
"Hurry up and go, this is not the time to be willful!" Sasuke Uchiha shouted while throwing ninja tools at Orochimaru, "This guy is not a Genin, the commotion just now must have attracted the proctors' attention. If you go find help now, we can all survive, otherwise you, me, and Sakura will all die!"
"Since that's the case, then I can't abandon you even more." Naruto Uzumaki said with firm eyes, then formed hand seals again and shouted, "Shadow Clone Jutsu."
Several pops sounded, and several shadow clones appeared around Naruto Uzumaki, then dispersed and flew towards the outside of the Forest of Death.
As for the main body, it rushed towards Orochimaru.
Little did he know that his sense of loyalty would harm Sasuke Uchiha.
Sasuke Uchiha, who had already initially mastered Lightning Release chakra to stimulate his cells, was a bit faster than Rock Lee wearing weights.
Coupled with the Sharingan's insight, even Orochimaru needed to use Snake Style ninjutsu or Earth Style to catch him.
Now that Naruto Uzumaki had entered the fray, not only could Sasuke Uchiha not fight freely, but he also had to constantly worry about the safety of this comrade.
Orochimaru also noticed this, so he changed his target from Sasuke Uchiha to Naruto Uzumaki.
In just a few rounds, he trapped Sasuke Uchiha in his trap, and both he and Naruto Uzumaki were stuck with their feet in the marshy ground and bound into rice dumplings by large snakes.
Just as Orochimaru formed hand seals with both hands, extended his neck and flew over, preparing to plant the Heaven's Curse Mark on Sasuke Uchiha's neck.
Bang!
A figure appeared out of thin air and punched Orochimaru squarely in the face. The powerful force seemed to sink the fist into his head.
Orochimaru's head, like a baseball, was directly blown away by the punch, and his body flew out along with it.
The one who threw the punch was the late-arriving master of perfect timing - Izayoi.
