Faced with the sea of fire that Sasuke spewed out after completing the hand seals almost instantaneously, even with Orochimaru's strength, he couldn't dodge in time.
In the next moment, Orochimaru's whole body was ignited by flames.
However, Orochimaru didn't care much, and even stuck out his tongue to lick his lips: "Hehehe... it seems I need to knock down your arrogance first, otherwise you won't obediently follow me."
Sneering, Orochimaru used a snake substitution technique and burrowed into the ground.
When he reappeared, he was still unscathed, as if Sasuke's powerful Fire Release Ninjutsu had never been released.
Sasuke didn't care about this.
If Orochimaru could be dealt with so easily, he wouldn't have become the recognized first-class expert in the entire Ninja World.
Seeing Orochimaru appear again, Sasuke unleashed several Fire Release techniques one after another.
"Fire Release: Great Annihilation!"
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique."
"Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction Arrow."
In a short period of time, with the waterfall as the center, the area within a thousand meters turned into a sea of fire, forcing Orochimaru to burrow into the ground again to avoid it.
"Not bad strength, but it seems like you don't have much combat experience. You just bombard with a bunch of Ninjutsu, but that won't achieve any results."
Orochimaru's sinister and playful voice echoed in this space, hitting Sasuke's confidence.
Sasuke glanced at the water vapor being evaporated around him, sneered, and didn't care.
Seeing Orochimaru reappear, he raised his hand and grabbed a long sword from the side, and then used a whimsical Tai Chi swordsmanship, stabbing towards Orochimaru.
"Want to compete in Taijutsu? Interesting."
Orochimaru sneered, spit out a Kusanagi Sword from his mouth, and met Sasuke who was wielding his sword.
With Orochimaru's Taijutsu experience, he was much more experienced than Sasuke.
Almost in a few short moves, he had already pushed Sasuke into a disadvantage.
Clang clang clang!
In the empty forest, two figures flashed continuously, their swords constantly clashing, and the high-intensity friction of the metal caused sparks to fly.
Sasuke didn't care much about being at a disadvantage. He opened his Sharingan eyes and constantly copied Orochimaru's movements, experiencing his seasoned combat experience and improving his own shortcomings.
"Your moves are good, but the next moment they will be mine."
After fighting for five minutes, Sasuke slowly began to have room to fight back under Orochimaru's hands.
At ten minutes, relying on the combat experience he learned from Orochimaru, he was already able to fight back and forth with Orochimaru.
Orochimaru didn't care about this situation either.
Equally confident, he gradually brought out his full strength and frantically fed Sasuke moves.
"Your Sharingan is very good, but the next moment it will be mine!"
With their own thoughts, the two constantly attacked their opponents with killing moves, and the battle reached the fifteenth minute.
Unbeknownst to anyone, the sky grew darker, the moonlight obscured by dark clouds.
Clouds gathered and rubbed against each other, faintly signaling the imminent rain.
At this moment, Sasuke, realizing that his Taijutsu could not improve in a short period, forced Orochimaru back with a sword and sneered, "Take my move, Lightning Release: Kirin."
As he spoke, electricity flickered in Sasuke's hand.
Then, he raised his hand and pointed it towards the sky, and immediately saw lightning and thunder in the high sky, and a huge Kirin intertwined and formed.
Immediately afterward, three consecutive Kirin were guided and struck down towards Orochimaru, who was locked on by Sasuke's Chakra Sensing.
At this time, Orochimaru, sensing something was wrong, also used a powerful defensive Ninjutsu in advance.
"Summoning Technique: Triple Rashomon!"
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall."
"Orochimaru-Style Substitution Technique."
The Triple Rashomon overlapped and stood in front of Orochimaru. Feeling that it was not safe enough, Orochimaru also used an Earth Flow Wall and used the Substitution Technique he had developed.
The next moment, Kirin struck down from the sky.
Boom!
A earth-shattering explosion sounded.
Accompanied by the teeth-aching sound of metal friction, the Triple Rashomon was almost instantly torn into fragments by the successively falling Kirin.
The electric current, wrapped in fragments, struck the surroundings like a rain of flowers.
Immediately afterward, the thick Earth Flow Wall shattered in an instant, and a huge thunderbolt struck Orochimaru's body.
"Ah!"
A sharp scream sounded.
Rumble.
Another series of explosions sounded.
It was the fragments that were blown away by the electric current and came into contact with the surrounding trees and rocks, and the huge kinetic energy caused secondary explosions.
"Is he dead?"
Sasuke thought as he glanced at Orochimaru, who had been struck into a human-shaped coke.
Looking again at the large area of collapsed trees around, and the potholes on the ground that were punched out by the Rashomon fragments, Sasuke's eyes were burning:
"This is the prototype of the Electromagnetic Cannon? The power is indeed very great. Even a super-weakened version is so powerful. A complete Electromagnetic Cannon is easily more than ten times more powerful than Kirin."
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
An Orochimaru suddenly drilled out of the ground and appeared behind Sasuke. Immediately afterward, he stabbed Sasuke's heart with a sword, a smug smile appearing on his lips: "You are still too young."
Although he consumed a lot of Chakra, he was the one who ultimately won.
At this moment, Orochimaru seemed to have already seen himself piercing Sasuke's heart with a sword.
At that time, Sasuke would completely lose his fighting power because of it.
And Orochimaru could take advantage of this opportunity to calmly plant the Cursed Seal on Sasuke, then complete the body snatching and repair this young body with great potential.
At that time, not only could he easily avenge Itachi, but he could also raise his strength to a higher level.
But in the next moment, the smile on Orochimaru's face froze.
Sasuke, who should have been unable to react, had a layer of pale purple rib skeleton armor appear on his body.
Orochimaru's sure-kill sword stabbed the armor, as if hitting a barrier of absolute defense, and the huge penetrating force disappeared in an instant like a stone sinking into the sea.
"Didn't expect that, did you? Stinky little brother."
Sasuke sneered.
At this moment, the three tomoe in his eyes had connected into one, and when Orochimaru looked at him, he screamed as if he had seen a ghost, "Impossible! Mangekyo Sharingan, how could you possibly have the Mangekyo Sharingan."
Orochimaru was slow for a moment because of excessive shock, but Sasuke was not slow.
He reached out and grabbed Orochimaru's arm, activated the Mangekyo Eye Technique of both eyes, and poured in all of his life force.
"Sebun'arōbukku!"
"Infinite Izanagi!"
"Ah!"
Orochimaru let out a scream, and his consciousness was instantly cursed to death by an irresistible force.
His pale skin turned ashen in an instant, and the aura of life gradually subsided.
Sasuke, who should have been drained of his life force and died, stood full of energy, turned his gaze in one direction, and said spiritedly, "Naruto, give me some Chakra!"
