"This... this guy, what's going on?
So scary..."
Naruto trembled uncontrollably, yet he couldn't move, clearly suppressed by the killing intent, his pupils couldn't help but contract and expand.
Sakura's eyes had already rolled back, clearly on the verge of fainting.
Sasuke also knelt on the ground trembling, feeling terror for the first time.
He finally understood how terrifying the opponent Natsuki had fought earlier was.
Looking at Natsuki again, Natsuki seemed to only have goosebumps, but he was still standing steadily.
There were also Tenten and Shino; both of them couldn't help but flinch, but they still stood firmly by Natsuki's side, gritting their teeth and enduring Orochimaru's killing intent.
"I'm actually not as good as Tenten?
I'm even not as good as Shino?
How can I accept this!"
Sasuke's hand trembled as he stabbed his thigh with a Kunai.
The pain stimulated him to wake up, and he could finally control his body.
At the same time, he also pulled out a short knife and became vigilant.
Although he hadn't been practicing Hatake Swordmanship for long, the only thing he could use against Orochimaru right now was this.
He hadn't mastered Chidori yet - his strength wasn't enough!
"Damn it!
How can I become stronger!"
Orochimaru glanced at Sasuke in surprise, feeling satisfied in his heart.
At least this Uchiha kid had courage.
According to Kabuto Yakushi's information, he seemed to have also learned Hatake Swordmanship, and his comprehension was not bad; he should be a good vessel.
However, he still needed to find an opportunity to put the curse mark on him, after all, the test for a vessel was not that simple.
Unlike Sasuke's unwillingness, Natsuki, Tenten, and Shino just felt their hair stand on end; facing such terrifying killing intent directly for the first time was truly uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Tenten and Shino were not weak and could still bear it.
As for the other examinees, it seemed only Neji, Gaara, and others could withstand it.
Didn't this clearly delineate their strength?
Oh, right, Kabuto Yakushi didn't know where he was hiding, and although the Sound Ninja Trio were also scared, their eyes towards Orochimaru held longing, and they even looked like they were planning to help.
Tsk!
So troublesome!
Why hasn't the Hokage arrived yet!
Shino whispered: "Natsuki, the opponent is very strong, don't be careless."
Tenten also said: "Why don't the three of us try our best to delay, delay until Lord Hokage's rescue arrives.
Orochimaru is too terrifying, we can't beat him."
"I know, I don't think we can beat the opponent either."
Unless I reveal my trump card or open the Eight Gates up to the sixth gate!
Natsuki added in his heart, but he didn't plan to do that.
His goal was to drive Orochimaru away and prevent Orochimaru from threatening Tenten and his friends.
As for his own strength, his performance just now might have been enough.
Before Sarutobi Hiruzen died, it was better not to show too much.
"None of you make a move!
Let me do it!"
A sudden voice sounded, and it was Anko, who had been uncomfortable just now, standing up and walking a few steps to block in front of Natsuki and the others.
Tenten immediately objected: "Anko-sensei, this is too risky.
It's better for us to restrain him together, it will be fine when Lord Hokage arrives!"
Shino agreed: "Anko-sensei, don't be reckless."
Anko, however, shook her head: "You don't understand.
You don't understand the grudge between him and me.
Orochimaru, why did you come back?
What is your purpose?
Why did you abandon me back then?"
These words surprised everyone who didn't know, feeling like there was a story.
Orochimaru smiled: "Heh heh, Anko, my good disciple, long time no see.
It seems you're doing well in Konoha.
But now, are you planning to kill me?"
"That's right!
I'm going to kill you!"
As soon as Anko finished speaking, she rushed forward, her hand raised and actually turned into a snake to bite him, "Hidden Shadow Snake Hand!"
However, Orochimaru easily dodged it, opened his mouth and spat out a long tongue, which directly wrapped around Anko, and then pulled her closer.
But Anko took the opportunity to exert force and tackle Orochimaru to the ground, pressing his right hand with her left hand, and even using a Kunai to nail both their hands to the ground.
"Heh, I've got you!
Orochimaru, let's die together!"
Anko's eyes were filled with madness, and she was about to use a forbidden jutsu to commit suicide, "Ninja Art: Twin Snakes Mutual Death!"
But the next second, she found that the person beneath her had turned into a lump of mud, and Orochimaru himself had somehow appeared behind her.
"You're a Special Jonin of the village, how can you always use the forbidden jutsu I taught you?
That's why, Anko, my good disciple, you are unqualified, which is why I abandoned you."
Orochimaru's words were a heavy blow to Anko.
Moreover, Orochimaru also activated the curse mark, causing Anko unbearable pain, making it impossible for her to resist.
Just as Orochimaru was about to say something else, a sound of electricity suddenly came from behind him, and Natsuki's figure reappeared, his hand holding a long sword full of cracks, slashing at him.
Subconsciously, Orochimaru used the kusanagi sword to block.
...Requesting flowers...
However, when the cracked sword met the kusanagi sword, it suddenly broke on its own, successfully avoiding the kusanagi sword's block.
Although broken, it still continued to slash towards Orochimaru's head.
This result surprised Orochimaru even more, and he tilted his head and body to dodge.
However, the cracked sword automatically split and extended, as if the power of Chakra was connecting the cracked fragments in the air, thus suddenly extending and successfully cutting off Orochimaru's head again.
This was exactly the special ninja sword designed by Natsuki, Demon Blade Thousand Blades!
It made its official debut today!
Tenten took the opportunity to control the Dragon Eye Telescopic Sword to transform into three dragon heads, wrapping around Anko and pulling her back.
"Heh heh heh, how interesting.
Konoha's new generation makes me excited.
I really want to capture all of you and use you for experiments!"
....
....
....
Orochimaru's voice came from the severed head, and then he drilled out of the head's mouth again, looking completely unkillable, which was quite despairing.
The Orochimaru-style Body Replacement Technique has always been so outrageous, as if it could really make Orochimaru immortal.
It's a pity that Natsuki's Genjutsu is not strong, otherwise, giving Orochimaru a powerful Genjutsu would make the incomplete-souled Orochimaru extremely uncomfortable.
"Unfortunately, there's not enough time.
The Third Hokage is about to arrive.
Well then, everyone, I'll be leaving now.
Goodbye!"
After Orochimaru finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared with a bang.
Natsuki did not relax his vigilance and quickly said: "Neji, Shino, see if he's still here!"
Neji had already activated his Byakugan and scanned the area several times without finding him.
He exchanged glances with Shino, and both shook their heads, indicating that Orochimaru had truly left.
Shino also said: "I secretly sent a female insect onto him, but I can't sense the female insect's location now."
Inuzuka Kiba also spoke weakly at this time: "His scent, Akamaru can't smell it either, it seems like he really disappeared on the spot.
This guy is too terrifying!"
As he spoke, his body was still trembling, having almost fainted from the killing intent in that single glance just now.
Hinata had truly fainted; there was nothing that could be done about that.
However, everyone breathed a huge sigh of relief.
It was good that Orochimaru was gone, otherwise, if things continued, they might not have been able to hold on, and someone might even have been sacrificed.
For example, Anko-sensei, who was planning to risk her life just now.
Natsuki and Tenten exchanged glances and immediately put away their Ninja Tools.
