I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

A man was running around aimlessly in the forest like a headless fly, and the ninja who found him did not make a move.

Because Naruto is so fast, his taijutsu skills are probably not weak either!

Even ordinary ninja squads wouldn't dare to make a move if they spotted Naruto.

Meanwhile, Shigure was taking a leisurely stroll in the forest.

Along the way, we encountered quite a few ninja squads, or rather, we sensed them.

They dared not lay a hand on Shigure.

Even though Shigure seemed unguarded, no one dared to make a move against her as she swaggered around.

They didn't want to fight, and Shigure naturally didn't have the time to fight these low-ranking ninjas.

Shiyu waited patiently, having already released the bait, still unwilling to believe she wouldn't catch any fish.

Sure enough, fish were biting the bait very quickly.

Sasuke managed to steal three scrolls: one Heaven Scroll and two Earth Scrolls.

They easily defeated three genin squads.

As Sasuke was collecting the scroll, a large snake appeared on the tree trunk behind him, its tongue flicking and its eyes wide as it stared at him.

Like someone intently watching their prey.

Chapter 132 The Snake King's Appearance and Forced Kiss

Sasuke, who had just put away the scroll, sensed a dangerous aura coming from behind him.

Suddenly he turned around and looked back.

A huge snake head appeared before him, and it was less than half a meter away from him.

Sasuke broke out in a cold sweat at that distance.

Are there snakes that big in the forest?

Sasuke was unaware, but the next second another voice came from behind him.

"Uchiha...Sasuke!"

"The last bloodline of the Uchiha clan in Konoha!"

"Wow, that's really strong! In such a short time, he's already defeated three genin squads all by himself!"

Sasuke slowly turned around and looked behind him, where a person wearing a Sound Ninja headband appeared in front of him.

The aura emanating from the other party made Sasuke's body seem to freeze for a moment.

"But where are your companions? They don't seem to be here!"

The other person was speaking.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed sharply, and the instant his body regained its movement, he slashed out with his sword.

Orochimaru smiled and easily dodged the attack, while the giant snake behind him launched an attack immediately.

Swish!

Sasuke vanished instantly after delivering his attack.

Orochimaru was taken aback when he saw this movement. "Shockwave?"

When will even genin (low-ranking ninjas) be able to master the Body Flicker Technique?

Moreover, Sasuke's speed is not slow.

The accuracy of this instantaneous movement has reached a fairly good level.

Orochimaru, who jumped directly onto the snake's head, crossed his arms and exclaimed, "Wow! This is really unexpected! He can even use the Body Flicker Technique!"

Sasuke, who appeared on the opposite tree branch, was breathing softly.

Although it wasn't particularly dangerous just now, Sasuke felt immense pressure facing this strange guy.

'Wow, that's strong! Are there any ninjas this strong in the Sound Village?'

Sasuke couldn't understand why there was such a powerful guy.

how can that be!

"Hehe! You seem a little surprised!"

"The ninjas of Konoha are not invincible. Is it strange that there are powerful ninjas outside of Konoha?"

That's true. Although Konoha is one of the Five Great Nations, does that mean other villages are not allowed to have powerful ninjas?

of course not!

"Hmph!" Sasuke snorted coldly. "So what if they're strong? I want to fight strong ninjas; that's what makes a battle truly valuable!"

As he spoke, Sasuke actually launched an attack, raising his hand to form hand seals!

Sasuke's hand seals were formed very quickly, which surprised Orochimaru.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

boom!

The flames he spat out instantly formed a fireball, sweeping towards Orochimaru's direction.

Orochimaru shook his head, controlling the giant snake to easily bypass the fireball.

It swiftly spun around a nearby tree, then sped off again towards Sasuke.

In the blink of an eye, three shurikens flew out.

Orochimaru easily knocked the shuriken away with a kunai.

And at that moment, birdsong rang out.

Orochimaru stared wide-eyed at Sasuke, whose eyes were bloodshot and whose Sharingan had been activated.

Holding the Chidori, he accelerated and charged straight at him.

'This is... Kakashi's technique...'

'Those eyes, so beautiful, just as captivating as that man's!'

Orochimaru spoke, but his hands moved swiftly—Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!

Countless snakes flew out of his hand, enveloping Sasuke.

Having lost his target, Sasuke could only use Chidori to attack the snakes.

Kill all of these snakes.

But after he finished doing all that...

Orochimaru's head had appeared behind Sasuke like a snake.

And then he bit down on Sasuke's neck!

"Ah~"

Sasuke instantly lost consciousness.

Orochimaru released Sasuke with a smile, but the cursed seal had already been planted!

"Finish!"

Sasuke struggled to his feet. "What...did you do to me?"

"Here's a gift for you, as a reward for your amazing performance!"

"asshole!"

gift!

Sasuke didn't believe that an enemy he was meeting for the first time would have any good intentions. Now things were in trouble. Sasuke felt that he was gradually losing his senses.

If this continues, I'm afraid I'll be killed.

He never expected there to be an enemy of this caliber among the genin; he had been too careless.

Orochimaru raised his hand, trying to grab Sasuke.

However, a sudden whooshing sound rang out, Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly, and his outstretched arm was severed.

A shuriken carrying intense wind-style chakra swept past.

Crack!

After severing his arm, he slammed into a tree trunk in the distance, cleaving an entire tree in two with the shuriken.

Orochimaru turned his head to look in the direction from which the shuriken had come.

Naruto jumped down from the tree and came to Sasuke's side.

"You dare to lay a hand on my comrade, you damned bastard!"

As Naruto spoke, he asked, "Is Sasuke alright?"

Sasuke was already sitting on the ground, completely exhausted.
