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

What came head-on was Shigure's black blade, slashing down directly from above.

Orochimaru quickly spat out a snake and coiled it around Shigure.

The snake was easily cut in half by Shigure, but this also allowed Orochimaru to dodge the attack.

Orochimaru, who had just fallen from the tree, looked up.

Shigure has disappeared.

Bow!

Shiyu squatted down in front of him, a smile on her face.

Frost had formed on the ground, and Orochimaru's brow twitched wildly.

A terrifying chill instantly enveloped him.

Orochi-style Stand...

boom! !

The cold air invaded Orochimaru's body, and at the same time, Shigure drew his sword and slashed at Orochimaru's chest.

But Orochimaru seemed to have shed his skin; the moment the attack hit, he jumped out of his own mouth.

Shigure's attack ultimately only landed on the abandoned body.

Orochimaru stood up again and looked at Shigure with a serious expression. This level of battle made Orochimaru feel as if he were facing a ninja of the same level.

How could this happen?

Shigure was just a genin; how could he possibly be on the same level as him?

Is a kid already capable of being a Kage-level ninja?

Shigure leaped up, still trying to rush over.

Orochimaru quickly raised his hand to form a hand seal.

Wind Release: Great Breakthrough.

A gust of wind swept out instantly, and Shiyu was blown away. The moment she landed, a surge of cold air froze her legs to the ground.

After regaining her footing, Shi Yu found that an ice wall was rapidly forming in front of her.

An ice wall stood against the storm.

Orochimaru is now completely certain that Shigure, that brat, doesn't need to form hand seals at all when using his Ice Release ninjutsu.

There are actually people in this world who can unleash ninjutsu without hand seals!

How could this be?

After the storm subsided.

Two dragons suddenly emerged from behind the ice wall, their slender bodies moving with lightning speed.

They swiftly bypassed the obstructing tree and bit Orochimaru's shoulders from both sides.

It's called a dragon bullet, but it's actually more like the size of a python.

However, the moment it bit Orochimaru, ice crystals surged from the other end and rapidly spread along the dragon's body.

Orochimaru's eyes twitched slightly.

Combining Escape and Ice Release!

Such exquisite use of ninjutsu.

With a slight tremor of his hands, Orochimaru also possessed a ninjutsu that could be unleashed without hand seals: releasing snakes.

Two black snakes emerged from the sleeves and coiled around the dragon, successfully crushing the dragon projectile with their constricting force.

The ice crystals only froze the two black snakes.

Orochimaru escaped successfully once again.

But the next second, a bloody gash was torn open on his chest.

The splattered blood drifted slowly through the air, forming a beautiful parabola.

And at that moment, Shigure's figure appeared.

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment. 'Through-the-thinning technique! Is this the Through-the-thinning technique that Jugo and the others were talking about?'

Sure enough, he concealed his presence as well, and you didn't notice him at all.

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly, ice spikes appeared on the surrounding trees, emerging from all directions and piercing directly through the giant snake's body.

Orochimaru was pinned firmly in front of Shigure, rendering him unable to move.

Shigure raised his black sword, Zhan Yue.

"Now! Who will die?"

With the tip of the knife pressed against Orochimaru's throat, Shigure asked slowly.

Orochimaru's face remained expressionless, but his eyes were filled with terror.

Shigure, a lowly genin from Konoha.

They actually possess such combat power: Ice Release, Ice Release, Swordsmanship, and Penetrating Release!

Their coordinated attacks left him completely defenseless. Although this body couldn't hold on much longer, he was none other than Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin.

When did even a little brat manage to put himself in such a sorry state?

Chapter 134 Orochimaru, a Sword Master with a Frustrated Heart

Orochimaru, who was staring intently at Shigure, became completely serious.

He no longer regarded Shigure as some lowly ninja brat, but as an opponent of equal or even greater strength than himself.

"The ninja world hasn't seen someone like you in a long time!"

Orochimaru suddenly spoke.

Shigure, however, merely moved the black blade in his hand slightly, and went even further, directly piercing Orochimaru's skin.

If Shigure had used just a little more force, he could have pierced Orochimaru's neck directly.

Blood flowed down Orochimaru's neck.

Orochimaru smiled. "Don't rush to kill me! Don't you want to know what I did to your comrades?"

Shi Yu shook her head. "I don't want to!"

clam?

This answer left Orochimaru somewhat bewildered. If Shigure didn't care about his companions, then why did he rush to their aid immediately when they were attacked?

But if we're talking about caring for and comforting your companions, then what does this mean now?

"Sasuke's problem can be solved, so there's no need for me to spare your life!"

As she spoke, a cold glint flashed in Shigure's eyes, and the black blade instantly pierced Orochimaru's neck.

At that moment, Orochimaru seemed completely taken aback by Shigure's decisiveness.

I didn't give myself a moment's delay.

puff!

With a spurt of blood, Shigure drew his sword and retreated, dodging the 603ml of blood from Orochimaru's mouth.

He stood less than three meters away from Orochimaru, staring coldly at him.

Orochimaru, however, had a furrowed brow.

A pierced throat would be fatal to an ordinary person, but not to Orochimaru.

But it's not pleasant either!

'Damn kid!'

'If my body weren't already on the verge of collapse, I would have killed you today!'

Seeing Orochimaru's murderous gaze, Shigure sneered, "Want to kill me? You can't do it right now!"

"Hmph! Moonlight Rain, I'll remember you. Don't worry, we'll meet again soon!"

"Again?" Shi Yu shook her head. "Did I say I would let you go today?"

However, Orochimaru laughed, "Hmph! No one can stop me from leaving!"

The moment he finished speaking, Orochimaru's body suddenly changed!

Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique is activated again.

The complete Orochimaru leaped out of his mouth again, and then his body transformed into countless black snakes, which quickly swept away in all directions.

In such a forest, it is virtually impossible to catch or kill all the snakes that have escaped.

If they had encountered an ordinary ninja, they probably would have been able to only watch helplessly as Orochimaru escaped.
