Chapter 63: Maru Series - Gaia Energy Cannon
"Izayoi!!"
Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, who saw the suddenly appearing Izayoi, showed tremendous joy, as if they had been given a savior.
Especially Sasuke Uchiha, he had some unexplainable sense of safety in his heart.
"I didn't expect you guys to be so unlucky to be targeted by this guy."
Izayoi pulled Naruto and Sasuke out of the marsh with each hand, then threw them back to the ground.
Sasuke Uchiha quickly picked up on the key point and quickly asked, "Izayoi, do you know this guy?"
"I did not know until now, I just sensed his chakra was not that which a Genin could possess."
Izayoi looked at Orochimaru, whose head once again regained its normal shape and whose body was gradually getting into a standing position, and said, "But now, his identity is self-evident. One of the legendary Sannin, and also one of Konoha's S-rank missing-nin. Orochimaru."
"It's really him!"
Sasuke Uchiha's eyes were narrowed, and he looked at Orochimaru in shock, "Such a well-known figure in history books, why would he come here?"
"I don't know, but he singled you out himself, maybe there is something on you that he desires."
"Is it for the Sharingan?"
Sasuke Uchiha understood immediately, face stern, "Izayoi, what do we do now?"
Implicitly beneath was, now I'll listen to you, do we engage or run away?
"Getting away from such a strong enemy is not so easy."
"The only thing that we can do now is wait until reinforcements arrive."
Izayoi faced Sasuke Uchiha and smiled, "Do you still possess battle strength?"
"Oh, naturally." Sasuke Uchiha's lips curled.
"And I as well, I can fight too!" Naruto Uzumaki stood his ground.
Izayoi smiled and said, "Then let us experience the power of a legendary ninja!"
"Hehe."
Orochimaru was sizing Izayoi up too at this time and complimented, "I never thought in this generation, excluding the Uchiha descendant and the kid, there would be so good a young man. Konoha, really the egg cradle of geniuses."
"But now, I don't have time to play your little ninja games."
After speaking, Orochimaru again used his Snake Style Instantaneous Body Technique, rushing at the three of Izayoi.
As Izayoi had said, he was now in a hurry and must plant the Heaven's Curse Mark on Sasuke Uchiha before the reinforcement team arrived.
However, Orochimaru, who thought only of Sasuke Uchiha, obviously never expected that this year's new generation would bring a monster around.
His appearance had just erupted, and of the three before him, Izayoi's appearance disappeared.
As if she teleported, Izayoi appeared out of thin air in front of Orochimaru, a wispy-kunai of electricity at hand, driving the blade towards the head of Orochimaru.
The action made Orochimaru's pupils shrink slightly.
A familiar way of moving, but the speed was even more jaw-dropping than Sasuke Uchiha.
While that was happening, Orochimaru moved quickly, opening his mouth to spit out a sword blade, stretching it to shatter the kunai of Izayoi and trying to pierce the neck of Izayoi.
That kind of reaction did not happen often. Without a brain, one might be caught off guard.
But just when the sword blade destroyed the kunai, the body of Izayoi disappeared again.
What flew into Orochimaru's eyes was Sasuke Uchiha soaring in the air, exhaling a wisp of fire from his mouth, which automatically transformed into a giant fire dragon.
"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"
Sasuke Uchiha, whose chakra reservoirs much exceeded those of the original series, favored and was more proficient in using the Majestic Destroyer Flame than the Great Fireball Technique with the training of Izayoi.
Seeing the fire dragon coming, Orochimaru didn't dodge or step aside, allowing the fire dragon to consume him.
Within the flames, Orochimaru's body melted into a pool of liquid.
"This is. Earth Replacement!"
Sasuke Uchiha's expression changed slightly in mid-air. When he landed, his eyes stared directly ahead at the ground, the tomoe in his eyes spinning wildly, not wanting Orochimaru to pop out of the ground again like before.
Whoosh—
At this moment, a sound of air being torn apart rustled along.
An enormous python came out from behind a fallen giant tree, displaying its gore-mouthed maw, trying to gulp Sasuke Uchiha down whole.
Sasuke Uchiha smiled with contempt, then his body disappeared into thin air, resurfacing underneath the python, and kicked the head of the python, forcing the open jaws shut.
But the very next moment, the face of Sasuke Uchiha transformed by leaps and bounds.
The python's abdomen exploded, and a man drilled out, raising his palm, turning into a bunch of snakes.
"Hidden Shadow Multi-Snake Hands!"
A surprise attack like that left Sasuke Uchiha completely dazed.
Just having used the Shadow Dance Leaf and not yet recovered, he could only stand by in horror as the bunch of snakes was going to paralyze him.
Just as he did so, that voice which sent a surge of safety through him spoke again.
"Wind Style: Wind Cutter Technique."
Izayoi and the transparent Haku's wind blade appeared little faster than on an illusion.
The fantastically keen wind blade sliced not only the swarm of snakes with a burst of speed, but split the gigantic python neatly in half.
"It's you again, brat!"
Sighting Izayoi stopping him from replanting the curse mark, Orochimaru's mood immediately soured.
Right when he was about to teach a lesson to Izayoi, his mood changed slightly.
Izayoi, having recently swung a wind blade, pulled his hand into his sleeve and then opened his mouth and spat out a column of fire, reducing Orochimaru, who had just emerged from the belly of the python and hadn't had the time to use the Body Flicker Technique or Earth Style, to ash.
"Aaaaaah."
Burned by the flames, Orochimaru let out a pathetic scream.
Izayoi continued his attack, bounding several meters into the air from where he had been.
"Sasuke, get away!"
Izayoi warned, then raised his hands, and there was instantly a blue energy ball between his hands, quickly swelling up like a balloon.
Sasuke Uchiha disappeared in an instant.
By the time he came back, he had already reached alongside Naruto Uzumaki, who was watching Izayoi and Sasuke Uchiha's performance with a completely shocked face.
Before he could drag Naruto Uzumaki behind a tree to conceal him, Izayoi's voice reached his ears.
"Gaia Energy Cannon!"
Turning his head, he spotted Izayoi with a massive energy ball spinning at a ridiculously high speed.
This energy ball was white inside and blue outside at first, but in the next moment, the white inside was filled with orange-red, and then the entire energy ball turned into an enormous fireball.
The dimension was not considerably different from that of the Majestic Destroyer Flame, but it contained many times more energy than the Majestic Destroyer Flame.
Izayoi threw this orange-red energy ball downwards with a loud scream.
Boom————
A deafening explosion rattled half of the Forest of Death.
The Special Jonin and Jonin who had already intervened on this test, and even the ANBU ninja forces that had been deployed, all saw a humongous fire tornado churning in the air above the forest in front, higher than the trees.
"What a terrifying Fire Style! Is it a mixed ninjutsu with Wind Style support?"
Even the all-rounder Jonin who had learned at least two nature transformations were taken aback by this sight.
"First of all a big-scale Wind Style, and then a Fire Style of this level, could it be. someone fighting Orochimaru?"
Assuming this to be the case, some ninjas' faces changed again.
If that were true, wouldn't that mean that there was a monster in this year's Chunin Exam?
