The ninja world is reborn, and everyone is resurrected at the start.

Orochimaru's power and chakra reserves are not comparable to Shukaku's.

However, his speed, agility, and combat awareness are enough to overwhelm Shukaku.

Shukaku's enormous body made him a target for attack.

If you can avoid Shukaku's attacks, defeating it will be much easier.

In the future, there is an organization called 'Akatsuki', and some of its members are even weaker than the Kage.

However, they did achieve remarkable results in dealing with the enemy's tailed beasts.

Even the weakest among them had successfully captured a tailed beast.

From this perspective, the tailed beasts are indeed not invincible.

Therefore, when Sakura Haruno asked this question, Kakashi Hatake was also at a loss for words.

"Naruto, you have to do your best! Don't get hurt..."

Hearing her teacher say that, Sakura Haruno's worried expression deepened even more.

She had only witnessed Shukaku's strength from the audience, and even then, it was protected by a barrier. Therefore, she did not know its true strength.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, was different. Sakura Haruno personally witnessed his strength during the Chunin Exams.

A single glance from Dangdang filled her with immense fear.

That fear still lingers in her heart to this day...

"Don't worry! With Minato-sensei and the others around, Naruto will be fine!"

Seeing Sakura Haruno's worried expression, Kakashi Hatake smiled and comforted her.

"Hmm... I hope so..."

"But where is Orochimaru now?"

Meanwhile, behind the venue, Naruto and his friends were discussing something else entirely.

"Don't worry, Lin, this giant snake has been hiding in the most conspicuous place!"

After speaking, Obito Uchiha glanced at the Kazekage seated on the table, then smiled and said:

"Are you going to come down yourself, or should I knock you down?"

P.S.: Kakashi's favorite disciple is Sasuke; he himself said this in the anime...

Chapter 348 Suspicion

......

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Kazekage's face immediately darkened.

If it were based on his previous personality, he would definitely have jumped right away.

Then give this arrogant brat a good beating.

However, considering the disparity in strength between the two sides, Orochimaru decided it was best to hold back for now...

"Aren't you afraid I'll beat him to death?"

After taking a few deep breaths, Orochimaru jumped off the field.

After dispelling the transformation jutsu, he looked at Obito Uchiha with a menacing expression and asked.

"You can't do it!"

Before Obito Uchiha could answer, Naruto Uzumaki spoke first.

"Really? Then I'd really like to give it a try!"

Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue and looked at Naruto with a mocking expression.

"Let's be patient for now! The barrier isn't set up yet, and the final experiment hasn't even started!"

Just as the two were about to continue verbally provoking each other, Minato Namikaze stepped in to smooth things over.

"09 Hmph!!!"

After hearing Minato's words, the two of them snorted coldly, then turned their gaze elsewhere...

"Fourth Hokage, the barrier is ready, and the battle can begin at any time!"

About ten minutes later, an ANBU member appeared in front of Minato.

He knelt on one knee and then respectfully addressed Minato.

"Okay, Obito, you continue as the referee. Naruto, good luck! We'll always be watching you!"

Minato nodded, and after speaking, he led everyone away.

"...Could you... perhaps choose someone else?"

Obito Uchiha said with a long face and a displeased expression.

Unfortunately, no one present paid him any attention...

"Now, let's begin the agreed-upon battle between Naruto Uzumaki and Orochimaru..."

After his protests failed, Obito Uchiha could only muster his strength and continue his unfinished work...

"The match begins!!"

At Obito Uchiha's command, Naruto Uzumaki and Orochimaru quickly sprang into action.

"Latent Shadow Snake Hands!"

As soon as he made his move, Orochimaru used his most proficient ninjutsu.

This ninjutsu technique has an extremely wide coverage area.

Both Obito Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki were within the attack range of this move.

"Seriously, you guys can fight all you want, why did you have to drag me into it!"

Obito Uchiha looked at Orochimaru with a hint of helplessness.

However, they did not retaliate in any way.

However, when Orochimaru's ninjutsu approached Obito Uchiha, it surprisingly passed through him with great interest.

"No matter how many times I've seen it, I still find it very moving when I see it again!"

Orochimaru spoke in a low voice, only he could hear it.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't forget, your opponent is me!!"

Just as Orochimaru was focusing his attention on Obito Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki easily dodged Orochimaru's attack with a Body Flicker Technique.

Then, he appeared directly behind Orochimaru and punched him hard, sending Orochimaru flying.

"That's true. Now that you've mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, you are indeed qualified to fight me!"

After flying dozens of meters, Orochimaru finally steadied himself and stood up again.

At this moment, Orochimaru looked extremely disheveled.

His whole body was covered in dust, and even the skin on his face was visibly cracked.

But at that moment, a strange thing happened.

Orochimaru gently touched his face with his hand.

The areas where Naruto had injured them healed instantly...

"You are a monster!!"

Naruto Uzumaki glanced at Orochimaru, then said with a look of disgust.

"We're all in the same boat."

Orochimaru smiled grimly.

Then, he lay down on the ground and opened his mouth wide.

"The Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes!"

Immediately afterwards, countless snakes crawled out of Orochimaru's mouth and attacked Naruto.

There were so many snakes that they almost filled the entire barrier.

What's most terrifying is that these giant snakes even spat out swords from their mouths.

"It's so disgusting!"

Looking around at the snakes, Obito Uchiha said with some disgust.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Naruto Uzumaki with great interest:

"Alright, Naruto, what are you going to do next?"

With so many snakes in such a small space, Orochimaru can launch an attack instantly no matter where you appear!

In this environment, your Flying Thunder God Technique is significantly less effective!

"makes sense!"

At this moment, Naruto Uzumaki reappeared.
