Naruto: Experience Pain, Start by Copying the Entire Shinobi World

The Land of Grass, on the border.

The earth is wailing.

Deep, bottomless ravines tore the battlefield to pieces.

The air was filled with the acrid smell of ozone and an overwhelming stench of blood.

boom--!!!

The black lightning, like a spear piercing the heavens and earth, instantly tore apart dozens of giant snakes formed from chakra.

Orochimaru's figure tumbled out of the blast wave, landing on the ground, kneeling on one knee, panting heavily.

His loose ninja outfit was now tattered, revealing pale skin covered with tiny wounds underneath.

"Truly... an incredibly tenacious vitality."

A deep, resonant voice came from the smoke and dust.

The figure of the Third Raikage slowly emerged.

He was shirtless, his bronze skin covered with a crackling armor of lightning chakra, and his muscular build was as angular as rock.

There wasn't a single scratch on his body.

Orochimaru's snake-like eyes narrowed slightly.

Muscular monster.

That was the only assessment in his mind.

His own "Ten Thousand Snakes Formation" was enough to instantly destroy a small ninja fortress.

But in front of this man, it was like a child's game, which he easily tore apart with the purest and most savage power.

Speed, strength, defense.

It has no weaknesses.

Orochimaru licked his dry lips, a cold, fanatical glint flashing in his eyes.

What perfect material! If only I could...

"That's enough, Konoha's three legendary ninja."

The Third Raikage's voice interrupted his thoughts.

Raikage's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

So fast!

Orochimaru's pupils contracted sharply, and he only had time to cross his arms in front of him.

"Heavy Storm!"

boom--! ! !

An indescribable force slammed into his arm.

Orochimaru felt his bones groan under the strain, and he was sent flying like a cannonball, carving a furrow tens of meters long into the ground.

"cough……"

He struggled to get up, but a sweet taste rose in his throat, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.

My vision began to blur.

Should we use that technique?

A flicker of hesitation crossed Orochimaru's eyes.

Is it worth exposing your trump card here for a battlefield where the outcome is already decided?

Just then, the Third Raikage reappeared before him.

He slowly raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers joined together, and at the tip of his fingertips, black lightning powerful enough to pierce through everything gathered.

Hell Thrust - Two-Handed Strike.

ended.

Orochimaru watched the approaching beam of death, yet his eyes remained eerily calm.

Just a second before the black lightning bolt pierced his skull.

A golden flash appeared and disappeared on the battlefield without warning.

Ding.

A uniquely shaped three-pronged kunai was pinned to the ground beside the Third Raikage.

next second.

A blond figure suddenly appeared where the kunai was.

In his hand, he held a rapidly spinning blue chakra ball, its piercing buzzing sound like that of a ferocious beast awakened.

Minato Namikaze.

Without the slightest hesitation, he pressed the blue pill in his hand hard against the Third Raikage's back.

"Rasengan!"

The Third Raikage reacted with lightning speed. He turned around abruptly, abandoning his fatal blow to Orochimaru, and held his arm, covered in lightning armor, horizontally in front of him.

boom--!!!

A terrifying spiraling force erupted suddenly.

The ground beneath the Third Raikage's feet cracked inch by inch, and he was forced back more than a dozen steps by this enormous force.

He glanced down at his arm, where a tiny crack had appeared in the lightning armor, which was known as the "strongest shield."

The entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

All the Cloud Village and Konoha ninjas who were fighting involuntarily stopped what they were doing and looked towards the center of the battlefield.

"It's...it's from Konoha..."

"Yellow flash!"

Someone let out a scream filled with fear.

Orochimaru slowly stood up. He looked at the golden figure blocking his way, his snake-like eyes showing no gratitude, only a hint of coldness and displeasure at having his experiment interrupted.

"Minato Namikaze..."

The Third Raikage looked at his young opponent, his voice tinged with seriousness.

"You really came."

"Lord Raikage."

Minato's face lacked its usual gentleness, displaying only the calmness befitting a battlefield commander.

Let's stop here.

"You think it's over just like that?"

The Third Raikage, enraged beyond belief, laughed, and the lightning around him became even more violent.

"Neither of you are leaving here today!"

Before he could finish speaking, a Cloud Village ninja scrambled over, his face filled with terror and panic.

"Lord Raikage! Something terrible has happened!"

"Damn it! Can't you see I'm...?"

"It's Iwagakure! Iwagakure has betrayed us!"

The Cloud Village ninja roared with all his might, his voice hoarse.

"They...they destroyed our rear supply lines! That old bastard Onoki is leading his troops towards Yunlei Gorge!"

What?!

The Third Raikage's body suddenly stiffened.

He slowly turned his head, his eyes, filled with rage, fixed on the ninja who had given the order, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

"Say it again?"

"Iwagakure... has betrayed us..."

"Aaaaaaahh ...

A beast-like roar erupted from the mouth of the Third Raikage.

A terrifying shockwave, centered on him, swept across the entire battlefield.

"Ohnoki——!!!"

He suddenly slammed his fist into the ground.

Boom! ...

The entire earth trembled violently, and a huge spiderweb-like crack with a diameter of more than ten meters spread out beneath his feet.

betray.

At the crucial moment of the decisive battle with Konoha, that damned dwarf actually stabbed them in the back!

The Third Raikage's chest heaved violently; his reason was being slowly consumed by the flames of rage.

But he was ultimately just a shadow of his village.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the killing intent in his heart, and his cold gaze swept over Minato and Orochimaru.

"Konoha...you're lucky today."

"Let's go!"

The Third Raikage uttered these words, then transformed into a bolt of lightning, leading all the Cloud Village ninja away from the battlefield like a tidal wave.

The once bustling battlefield instantly became empty and deathly silent.

All that remained was a scene of utter devastation and the surviving Konoha ninja.

"We won...we won!"

Someone suddenly let out a cheer.

Immediately following was a thunderous roar of cheers.

Orochimaru straightened his tattered clothes, his pale face devoid of any expression.

He walked up to the water gate, his voice hoarse and cold.

"Who gave you permission to interfere?"

The coldness on Minato's face faded, replaced by his usual gentleness. He turned his head, his blue eyes looking at his martial uncle, and said with a smile:

"Lord Orochimaru, you are injured."

"Iwagakure's actions are related to you, aren't they?"

Orochimaru ignored his concern and went straight to the point.

Those golden snake eyes held a sharp, all-seeing insight.

Minato's smile remained unchanged.

Orochimaru turned around and gave orders to the Konoha ninja behind him.

"Everyone, retreat!"

After saying that, he ignored Minato and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

As Minato watched Orochimaru leave, the smile on his face gradually faded.

He could sense that his uncle, his martial uncle, seemed to be getting further and further away from the village.
