The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

The snake absorbed most of the impact force.

Orochimaru himself did not experience a very large impact.

"pity."

The pufferfish demon was somewhat disappointed to see Orochimaru standing up unharmed.

The original intention was to use the power of the water dragon's possession to catch Orochimaru off guard without his knowledge.

Orochimaru's response was too fast and too good.

"These are the Three Ninjas."

Yagura said, "In terms of experience, they are far more experienced than us. Fuguki, don't be affected. I'm fine on my end. I'll cooperate with you."

"Yes, Yagura-senpai."

The pufferfish demon waved its water dragon possession.

The water dragon, which had reformed, charged towards Orochimaru once more.

Not long after obtaining the possession of the water dragon, the pufferfish demon had already figured out three ways to use it.

One method is to directly control the water and attack using the flow of water.

Just like how Riva is used in the world of Akame ga Kill!.

The other one is like this now.

First, form hand seals and then use Water Release ninjutsu.

Before the water from the Water Release ninjutsu has completely disappeared, the water can be controlled by the power of the Water Dragon Possession.

It combines with the remaining chakra from the Water Release ninjutsu.

This will allow the Water Release ninjutsu to be revived.

The process of forming hand seals again is omitted.

The former is more convenient to use.

The latter, however, is even more powerful, as it combines the power of ninjutsu and the power of water dragon possession.

The third possibility is that Orochimaru figured it out.

While performing the Water Release hand seals, the user uses the power of the Water Dragon to replicate the Water Release ninja.

"That Zanpakuto can not only copy ninjutsu, but also revive it?"

Orochimaru fought and retreated.

"I wonder if it's only limited to water escape techniques."

"Otherwise, this ninja sword would be far too powerful."

"It's equivalent to turning all subsequent ninjutsu into hand seal-less ninjutsu."

"Without the time required for hand seals, attack efficiency will increase significantly."

"Give the other party not enough time to react."

"Even if it only works against water-style ninjutsu, it's still quite remarkable for the ninjas of Kirigakure."

"Stronger than the Seven Ninja Swords."

Orochimaru prefers functional abilities to enhancement abilities.

In Orochimaru's view, the capabilities, possibilities, and operability of functional types are much higher.

The pufferfish demon also felt that the Water Dragon Possession was stronger than Samehada.

However, the reason is different from Orochimaru's.

The pufferfish demon simply felt that the water dragon's possession ability resonated with him.

Although Orochimaru blocked the attack, Fuguki was only disappointed for a moment before becoming excited again and eager to launch the next attack.

My attack was enough to give Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin, a minor setback.

This would have been almost impossible before.

Even with Samehada in hand, I am far inferior to Orochimaru in every aspect.

The pufferfish demon couldn't help but think to himself.

"Samehada is far inferior to Suiryu no Hyakki!"

At the same time, the pufferfish demon was also imagining many ways to use the water dragon's possession in his mind.

Now facing Orochimaru, Fuguki wants to try everything.

Orochimaru is very strong.

But only the strongest opponents can truly test its effectiveness.

"Being defeated by a Konoha genin is a disgrace to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen."

"However, if Yagura-senpai and I can defeat Orochimaru, then this shame can be washed away instantly."

"No one can disrespect me for defeating Orochimaru."

A glimmer of ambition appeared in the pufferfish demon's heart.

"Even if I defeated Orochimaru together with Yagura-senpai."

"However, before I arrived, Yagura-senpai had already been defeated and was at a great disadvantage."

"Everyone will know my role!"

Under the control of the pufferfish demon, the two water dragons launched a fierce attack on Orochimaru.

On the other side, Yagura was also using ninja tools and long-range water-style ninjutsu to attack Orochimaru.

For a moment, Orochimaru found himself at a disadvantage.

You cannot attack; you can only dodge or block.

The Hidden Mist ninjas were delighted to see this.

"Great."

"Orochimaru is going to lose!"

"Senior Fugu Demon is so strong now!"

"Losing Samehada didn't diminish my strength; in fact, it made me stronger!"

"Is this the change that the new Zanpakuto has brought to Fuguki-senpai?"

"With Fugu-senpai and Yagura-senpai working together, they can definitely defeat Orochimaru."

One of the Hidden Mist ninjas couldn't help but shout excitedly.

"Kill Orochimaru, and Kirigakure will surely win!"

They immediately received a great deal of response.

Orochimaru's expression darkened.

"This Zanpakuto's abilities are indeed troublesome."

"This water dragon, though shattered by me, can be resurrected and reappear."

"With Yagura added to the mix, it's impossible to defeat them easily."

"Fine, let's just crush them head-on."

After dodging the attacks from the pufferfish demon and Yagura once again, Orochimaru bit his finger and formed hand seals.

"Psychic art!"

He used the summoning technique again, but this time, it was different from the last.

A snake much larger than the one before appeared, its entire body purple, its scales gleaming with a cold light.

A strong, pungent stench wafted over, mixed with the smell of blood.

"Ten thousand snakes!"

The Konoha ninjas all showed expressions of joy.

"Alright, the suspense is over!"

"Lord Orochimaru has even summoned Manda. The outcome is no longer in doubt. Yagura Karatachi and Suigetsu Hozuki cannot possibly win. Lord Orochimaru will undoubtedly be victorious!"

"You Hidden Mist Ninja can only be happy for a short while."

"So what if a new Zanpakuto appears?"

"Just a mere ninja sword."

"Do you really think you can defeat Lord Orochimaru with just a ninja sword?"

"dream!"

Ten thousand snakes raised their heads.

"Orochimaru, you still owe me the sacrifice from last time!"

Manda has a bad temper, and his attitude towards Orochimaru is never much better.

It can be said that among the three legendary Sannin, Orochimaru had the worst relationship with his summoned beasts.

“These people can all be your sacrifices.”

Orochimaru pointed at the Hidden Mist ninja opposite him.

The ten thousand snakes stretched out their tongues and twitched a few times in mid-air.

"Another ninja from Kirigakure."

The next moment, Manda suddenly charged towards Yagura and Fuguki.

With its enormous size advantage, immense strength, and formidable defensive capabilities, Manda didn't need to worry about anything else; it simply used its own body as a weapon.

"Water Release: Water Wall Technique!"

Fuguki and Yagura simultaneously formed hand seals.
