Chapter 73 Orochimaru in Battle
Chapter 73 Orochimaru in Battle
At the Sand Village frontline camp, Pakura wore a long glove on her right hand, which covered her still somewhat purplish right hand.
Chisuke glanced at the gloves and wondered what kind of poison Orochimaru was using that was so potent. Even after two or three days, the medical ninjas in the camp couldn't completely eradicate it.
However, the main force of the Sand Ninja will arrive soon. Once Chiyo treats them, they should be fine.
"According to intelligence, Konoha reinforcements will arrive tomorrow. I've decided to launch a surprise attack on the Konoha camp tonight and take it!"
Yecang put aside the intelligence and made up his mind.
Chisuke immediately nodded and chimed in, "We'll definitely take it!"
But in my heart I was thinking, "Teacher, how many times have you said that? If I could have beaten him down, I would have done it long ago, and I wouldn't have had to wait until today."
It must be said that Orochimaru and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio were indeed very strong, and with the help of various traps, they withstood several attacks from the Sand Ninja.
There was nothing we could do; the teacher was so stubborn, we could only go along with her.
Ah, assisting the teacher in becoming the Kazekage is a long and arduous task.
Unaware of Chisuke's inner thoughts, and seeing how obedient Chisuke was, Yekura didn't think much of it and immediately arranged for a night raid!
The moonlight was dim, and there was no wind. What a night for murder!
Looking at the camp buildings ahead, Chisuke formed hand seals.
"It's the middle of the night, I got up to pee! Quicksand waterfall!"
Yellow sand churned on the ground, relentlessly surging towards the Konoha camp, destroying any obstructing buildings and setting up numerous traps.
Explosions, poisonous gas, and projectile attacks—all sorts of traps in Konoha were eventually buried by sand.
Inside the Konoha camp, figures moved about, dodging the shifting desert.
Seeing that Sensuke had created an opening in the defenses, Yekura ordered the Sand Ninja behind her, "Attack!"
The Sand Ninja stepped onto the sand and rushed into the Konoha camp.
Inside the Konoha camp, Orochimaru and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio stood together, facing the attack without any surprise.
"As expected, the Sand Ninja have discovered that our reinforcements will arrive tomorrow and will make a final stand."
Although Shikaku had anticipated this attack, he showed no smugness; instead, his face turned grim.
Because of Chisuke's perfect Jinchūriki ability, he could maintain his powerful fighting strength for a long time and launch continuous attacks, causing great losses to the Konoha ninja.
Tonight, we really might not be able to hold on.
Shikaku's face was just pale, while Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza looked like sick ghosts.
They were seriously injured a few days ago and only received emergency treatment. Their injuries have not healed at all, and their combat effectiveness is now only 10% or 20%, so they can only play a supporting role.
At this point, Orochimaru is the only one we can rely on.
"Yakura, Chisuke, I can only hold off one of them. The rest, you'll have to figure out a way to do it yourself."
Orochimaru remained calm and objectively stated the facts.
Upon hearing this, Shikaku gritted his teeth and said, "The tailed beasts' fighting power is too enduring. Please hold off the One-Tailed Jinchuriki while I try to delay Pakura."
Pakura is certainly very strong, stronger than Shikaku, but compared to Sensuke's almost inexhaustible chakra, there are always times when Pakura is powerless.
Shikaku felt that, relying on his command skills, they should be able to stall until reinforcements arrived.
Orochimaru glanced at Shikaku, a cryptic smile playing on his lips, before charging towards the Sand Ninja and killing several in a short time.
"Chisuke Tasaka!"
Orochimaru!
Upon hearing the call, Sensuke saw Orochimaru in the crowd and immediately transformed into his tailed beast form.
To be honest, Sensuke was afraid of Orochimaru, especially his strange forbidden techniques. If he fell for one, the consequences would be unimaginable.
So, when you see Orochimaru, unleash your ultimate attack!
"Shukaku! See that spineless coward with the pointed face? Use the Tailed Beast Ball on him! Use it hard! If you can't kill him with the blast, smash him to death!"
"Is it that snake charmer again? This time, I'm not letting him get away with it!"
These past few days, Shukaku has been repeatedly blocked by Orochimaru because of Sensuke's weakness, so he was also unhappy and decided to unleash his ultimate attack as Sensuke suggested!
"Tailed Beast Ball!"
Seeing Shukaku's actions, Orochimaru also felt a headache coming on and had no choice but to defend himself.
"Spiritual Communication Technique? Triple Rashomon!"
Three giant, demonic-faced gates appeared, defending against the Tailed Beast Ball. However, Orochimaru was in a terrible mood.
Shukaku's chakra is too vast; unleashing its full power is like drinking water for him. It's fine for a short time, but if it lasts too long, even Orochimaru won't be able to withstand it.
I don't know what kind of sealing method the Sand Village used, but they managed to have a Jinchuriki like Sensuke who is so illogical. No wonder they had the confidence to attack Konoha.
Orochimaru bit his finger, rendering ordinary ninjutsu meaningless in the face of Shukaku.
"Spirit Communication? Ten Thousand Snakes!"
A massive body appeared from within the smoke. Manda raised its head and looked at Shukaku, its pupils shrinking slightly!
"Orochimaru! You actually made me deal with this monster? Do you know the rules?!"
Orochimaru didn't waste any words: "Buy me time, we must deal with the Jinchuriki!"
Shukaku, seeing that his Tailed Beast Ball had been stopped, was preparing to create a new one.
Manda immediately rushed forward, coiling its body around Shukaku, and opened its largest mouth to bite directly at Chisuke's position.
"Damn bastard, how dare you disturb me!"
Shukaku's Tailed Beast Ball was interrupted. He roared and stretched out his arms to grab Manda's head, intending to throw Manda to the ground.
"Now!"
Orochimaru leaped off Manda's head and charged toward Sensuke.
Sensuke, not wanting to engage Orochimaru in close combat, immediately sank his body into Shukaku's.
At the same time, a sandy arm formed on Shukaku's head, grabbing directly at Orochimaru in mid-air.
"Summoning? Orochi!"
In mid-air, a giant snake appeared out of nowhere.
Orochimaru stepped onto the giant snake's back and used the momentum to jump back onto Manda's head.
Trouble. This guy is so cautious; there's no chance to attack.
Should we use forbidden techniques?
Looking at Shukaku, Orochimaru's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty.
To be honest, for Orochimaru, a disciple of the Hokage, using forbidden techniques is not a big deal.
Even a forbidden technique like the Impure World Reincarnation, which plays with life and death, wouldn't be objected to if used during wartime.
However, Orochimaru, in his madness to research forbidden techniques, went so far as to use Konoha ninjas for experiments.
He feared that using forbidden techniques would lead people to associate him with the disappearance of Konoha ninjas.
With that moment of hesitation, Shukaku used even greater strength to slam Manda to the ground.
"Go to hell!"
Shukaku raised his hands, clenched his fists, and slammed them down hard, intending to smash Manda's head to pieces.
With a snap, the head of the ten thousand snakes was indeed broken, but it was only the snake skin.
Behind Shukaku, the earth shattered, and Manda burst forth, using all its strength to strike Shukaku.
Shukaku stumbled, and before it could regain its footing, Manda bit into its neck, tearing off a large piece of sand to reveal Chisuke inside.
Holy crap, I even hid inside Shukaku's body, and they still managed to find me!
At that moment, Orochimaru jumped out of Manda's mouth and threw a giant shuriken at Sensuke.
"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"
