Naruto: The Uchiha's Scientific Madman

Chapter 25 Orochimaru's Defection

Although Orochimaru suffered a great loss in the initial exchange...

But this was the first time he had injured his teacher in a fight.

It feels pretty good...

But seeing the wrinkles on the teacher's face and his thoughtful expression, his smile faded slightly.

Teacher, I didn't expect you to still soften your heart...

In that case, there's no point in continuing the fight.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru glanced at the Konoha Anbu approaching from a distance of more than ten meters.

Orochimaru made a quick decision.

It's time to go!

"Spiritualism!"

Four large snakes, several meters thick, appeared on the battlefield, spreading out in all directions and wreaking havoc, leveling a safe zone of about a hundred meters.

Orochimaru then manipulated all his summoned snakes to head straight for the Death Forest on the outskirts of town.

The commotion caused by the sudden appearance of the giant snake was quickly quelled as the ANBU ninjas reacted.

The ANBU ninjas began to fight back.

puff puff!

The kunai, infused with various ninjutsu attacks, quickly slayed these giant snakes, which had little chakra.

Only one giant snake, under the cover of its companions, quickly burrowed underground and fled into the Forest of Death with Orochimaru.

Seeing this, the Third Hokage endured the excruciating pain in his leg, leaped up, and used the rooftop of a three-story building to jump, reaching a height of dozens of meters.

He raised the black golden cudgel in his hand high and slammed it down with all his might.

The ape demon's body swelled to several meters wide, and its landing on the ground caused a tremendous upheaval.

puff!

The giant snake's body was smashed into a bloody pulp on the ground.

Orochimaru was also forced to reveal himself from underground.

Before he could even steady himself, he caught a glimpse of a white figure out of the corner of his eye…

Kakashi had been waiting nearby, just to catch Orochimaru in that moment of panic.

A lightning bolt condensed in his palm.

He used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to its fullest extent.

With the blessing of the Sharingan!

They immediately seized a fatal opening in Orochimaru's defenses.

In the blink of an eye, before anyone could react, Kakashi arrived in front of Orochimaru.

Bow down, raise your head, reach out your hand, and take out your heart!

The series of movements were completed in one smooth motion.

"Gotcha! Orochimaru!"

Kakashi smiled confidently.

Sharp lightning bolts formed blades at his fingertips, piercing Orochimaru's chest in an instant.

The aroma of charred, roasted meat wafted over.

The Lightning Blade pierced through Orochimaru's body.

Orochimaru endured the excruciating pain and twisted his body wildly, contorting it into an unbelievable contortion... Suddenly, his body transformed into a giant snake several meters thick, pinning Kakashi beneath him.

The giant snake opened its mouth and spat out Orochimaru.

They temporarily escaped Kakashi's pursuit.

However, the severely injured body suddenly showed signs of weakness at this moment.

Click!

He manipulated the weight of the enormous snake body and pressed down suddenly, deforming Kakashi's arm and making a cracking sound.

Orochi's counterattack plunged Kakashi into a deadly crisis.

"Give up the struggle, Orochimaru..."

"A member of the ANBU wearing a cat-face mask said coldly."

"You're too good for me! You can't stop me..."

Orochimaru recognized the other party's identity at a glance.

He clutched his chest.

The intense pain made his body sluggish and his movements distorted.

"No one is coming to save you, Lord Orochimaru! Don't put up a futile resistance."

Another elite member of the secret service has appeared.

His signature spiky hairstyle proved his identity—Yamashiro Aoba.

Orochimaru was very familiar with them, after all, they were all his former subordinates whom he had commanded on the battlefield.

In everyone's eyes.

Orochimaru had nowhere to escape.

Even if the Third Hokage didn't intervene, given his current severely injured state, he wouldn't have a chance to escape from the elite Anbu Jonin squad of Konoha.

"Yeah?"

Orochimaru's lips curled into a cold smile.

He quickly bit his finger and completed a spell seal at lightning speed.

"Summoning Jutsu - Ten Thousand Snakes!"

A giant purple python, ten meters in diameter and a hundred meters long, appeared at his feet.

Two ferocious horns protruded from the enormous snake's head.

His vertical pupils surveyed the battlefield, and greedy saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth.

It saw a large number of human sacrifices in the direction of Konoha Village.

"Orochimaru, this time I want a hundred sacrifices!"

The iconic roar of the ten thousand serpents rang out.

With a single swipe of its tail, it forced all the Konoha ninjas to retreat.

Orochimaru stood atop Manda's head, gaining a brief respite.

However, the monstrous snakes had not yet begun to unleash their power.

Suddenly, a giant black club descended from the sky, sweeping the hundred-meter-long body of the serpent to the ground with a single blow.

Bang!

The enormous shape kicked up a cloud of smoke.

Manda roared angrily, "You damned monkey who only knows how to ambush... I, the great one..."

Bang!

With another strike, the gigantic ape demon, nearly a meter thick, struck the seven-inch spot on the giant snake.

The heart suffered severe damage.

Manda's entire body trembled violently.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was very clear about Manda's weaknesses.

Controlling the ape demon's petite body, he could easily dodge the attacks of the ten thousand snakes and accurately target their vital points.

It turned its head and bared its fangs.

It attempted to tear apart the golden cudgel that was the ape demon's incarnation.

But the Enma suddenly shrank and returned to Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand.

"Orochimaru, this monkey is too annoying! I'm leaving."

Manda was hit several times and had no chance to resist. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed several Konoha ANBU preparing to use a sealing technique. Seeing that the situation was not good, he abandoned Orochimaru without hesitation, instantly canceled the summoning, and retreated back into Ryuchi Cave.

When no one was paying attention.

A human figure quietly appeared in the huge pit where the ten thousand snakes had disappeared.

"Orochimaru, come back with me!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, panting heavily, landed on a stone pillar propped up by one of his subordinates using Earth Release techniques, and offered his advice.

The few moves he just made had exhausted a lot of his energy, and his body was showing signs of fatigue.

I guess I'm getting old.

I'm already feeling tired after just a few movements.

"Old man...kill me! Let's see if you still have the ability..."

Orochimaru wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth again, staining the white sleeves of his kimono red.

Careless.

I never imagined that the group of young ANBU under the teacher's command had become so outstanding.

I still have a long way to go to be as good as my teacher!

what a pity.

If I had listened to Qing and received the first-generation cells, perhaps I wouldn't be in this situation now.

green……

How did you manage to predict that I would encounter such a crisis?

Orochimaru was overwhelmed with complex thoughts and couldn't help but look at the figure in the distance who had severely injured him.

That white-haired boy... he has the figure of an old friend!

Is it Kakashi Hatake?

If it weren't for him, I probably would have left long ago.

Orochimaru felt that his internal organs could no longer hold on.

My body is nearing its limit.

"Stubborn to the end!"

With a cold snort, Hiruzen Sarutobi flashed forward, using the speed provided by the sudden extension of his golden cudgel, and charged towards Orochimaru like a cannonball.

A punch was thrown straight at him.

Orochimaru gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, and with a ferocious expression, rapidly formed hand seals.

"Spiritual Spell: Rashomon!"

A giant wall appeared.

It blocked Hiruzen Sarutobi's attack.

In an instant, the Third Hokage's figure froze slightly, a trace of pain flashing across his face. The snake venom in his leg took effect, and his body uncontrollably crashed into the stone wall before falling to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Orochimaru immediately launched a counterattack.

"Kusanagi Sword - Empty Blade..."

A hidden blade suddenly flew out of his hand, heading straight for the Third Hokage, who was a few meters away.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had no time to dodge.

An assassin suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the sword and pinning him to the ground with the hidden blade.

At the same time, Orochimaru continued to form hand seals without stopping!

"Summoning Jutsu: Swarm of Giant Serpents!"

His chakra suddenly erupted.

A large number of giant snakes, each a meter thick, emerged from the ground and swarmed towards Konoha Village.

Seeing this, the ANBU ninjas had no choice but to leave and snipe the giant snakes to prevent them from threatening the civilians in the village.

At the same time, after breaking free of his restraints, Kakashi led three subordinates to stand in front of the Third Hokage.

"Lord Hokage, are you alright?!"

Kakashi asked eagerly.

"I'm fine!"

"I can't breathe," Hiruzen Sarutobi said urgently, lowering his head and looking at the lifeless ANBU member in front of him with a hint of guilt in his eyes.

To avoid giving anyone the impression that he was holding back, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately ordered, "Seize Orochimaru... quick..."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi and the others chased after Orochimaru again.

They weren't going to give Orochimaru any chance to breathe.

Orochimaru was also nearing his limit at this moment.

Facing the combined assault of Konoha's strongest fighters, he had very little chakra left.

"Am I going to die?"

Orochimaru saw Kakashi holding a sword and standing in front of him, and a look of despair flashed across his face.

Seeing this, Kakashi worked even harder.

But then he suddenly noticed that Orochimaru's lips were turned up, as if he were smiling.

Something's not right?

Kakashi suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Orochimaru has another plan?
