I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 12 Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!

Perfect teamwork!

At that moment, Orochimaru, hidden in the shadows of the tree trunk, suddenly showed a look of panic and involuntarily took a step back. Immediately, the ninja's face contorted with ferocious elation, "You're asking for death!"

Almost! He was nearly scared out of his wits. If he hadn't quickly spotted the other party's weakness, it would have been truly embarrassing to be scared back like that.

A dark shadow flashed by, landing on a thick tree trunk. Just as the figure was about to strike the somewhat panicked Orochimaru with a long sword, a sinister smile appeared on his face. Before he could even realize what was happening, it was too late.

Hidden in his sleeve, Orochimaru had already formed a hand seal: Yin-Zi-Wei-Zi-Yin. As his chakra circulated within him, the panicked Orochimaru instantly revealed a mocking smile as he raised his hand.

"Hidden Shadow Snake Hand!"

Beneath a hoarse, mocking smile, when five or six venomous snakes suddenly sprang from the other's arm and attacked him, Orochimaru, one of the Three Legendary Sannin, felt a surge of fear, and at that moment, the ninja revealed a look of terror.

Orochimaru!

People can fake it, after all, there are transformation techniques, but ninjutsu cannot be faked! Under the signature ninjutsu, the elite Chunin leading the team lost his will to fight. He hurriedly threw the ninja sword in his hand, while he himself exerted force with both legs and leaped backward.

escape!

Upon seeing Orochimaru's signature ninjutsu technique, he was certain of his fate. At that moment, he had no desire to fight whatsoever; all he could think about was escaping!

But at that moment, birdsong suddenly came from behind, an endless chorus of birdsong!

"Chidori!"

*Thud!* Blood splattered as the Chunin screamed in agony. Lightning flashed past his body, taking away one of his arms.

"Damn it! Uchiha Yoru, how come you're still not proficient in ninjutsu?"

At this moment, Orochimaru, who was standing on the tree trunk, showed an angry expression, but it was also a bit like a girl's anger. As a puff of white smoke rose, Anko's figure was revealed. Immediately, the elite Chunin who had fallen from the sky with a severed arm in the distance showed a look of anger.

"You're not Orochimaru!"

At this moment, the elite Chunin realized he had fallen into a trap. The other party had initially used Orochimaru's fearsome reputation to scare him, and with one move of Hidden Shadow Snake, anyone would have really thought they had encountered Orochimaru. Who would have thought it was a fake?

"team leader!"

At this moment, two students also rushed over, and the three formed a triangular battle formation. However, Anko, whose true form was revealed on the tree trunk, glared angrily at Uchiha Yoru, who had fallen to the ground beside her.

At this moment, the lightning in Uchiha Yoru's hand was still crackling and slowly dissipating. A tomoe spun in his eye socket, and he couldn't help but laugh awkwardly, "Anko, the opponent is a taijutsu ninja. She dodged this fatal blow at the last moment."

Originally aimed at the back of the opponent's heart, but it turned out to be a right arm. But it's not bad. At least an ordinary ninja's combat power will be greatly reduced after losing an arm, especially since they will be unable to use ninjutsu.

The lightning in his palm dissipated, and feeling his chakra decrease by a third, Uchiha Yoru stared at his prey below with a smile.

120,000 gold coins! He used them to accelerate his training in the A-rank ninjutsu, Chidori. He wasn't a genius, but he could be turned into one by spending money. Although he wasn't quite proficient yet, he could already use it in battle.

In an instant, Uchiha Yoru shot out a barrage of shuriken from his hand. From his high vantage point, countless shuriken flew towards him, and the elite Chunin with a severed arm shouted in alarm and anger, "Quick! Stop him!"

He was just an ordinary elite Chunin, but now that one of his arms has been cut off, he can no longer use ninjutsu, and the numbness in his arm means he can only use his subordinates to buy time.

Ding ding~

In an instant, black shuriken were knocked away one after another, but the next moment, a bald genin cried out, "Get out of the way!"

It was too late when the two tried to dodge. The one-armed Chunin reacted quickly, leaping high into the air. He stared in shock at the shuriken below, which were clearly bound with fine steel wires. In the dim light of the dark forest, they were difficult for an ordinary person to spot.

In an instant, Uchiha Yoru on the tree trunk pulled with both hands, and the flying shuriken began to coil under the force. In a flash, the two genin were tied together by the steel wire.

At that moment, the elite Chunin who leaped into the air roared and fired a kunai from his left hand, clearly intending to sever the steel wire binding his two students.

However, someone was even faster than him. With perfect coordination, Mitarashi Anko, standing next to Uchiha Yoru, quickly formed hand seals: Snake—Dragon—Rabbit—Tiger.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

With a sharp cry, Mitarashi Anko inhaled deeply, and in an instant, a magnificent power began to emerge from her young chest. Then, she spewed out a towering fire dragon that surged downwards in a straight line.

Ah!

Amidst their pitiful screams, the flames instantly obliterated the two young genin, leaving behind a nauseating stench in the air.

The elite Chunin, still bleeding from his right arm after landing, stared in shock at the situation where he was now the only one left in just a few seconds, his head covered in sweat. He swallowed nervously.

"You! You're Orochimaru's disciple, Mitarashi Anko!"

At this moment, the elite Chunin stared at the two who had appeared, his face pale with shock. It was clear that the two had worked together seamlessly, and the unique and obvious ninjutsu they had just used made the female ninja fit the description of Orochimaru's disciple in the intelligence report.

Both Hidden Shadow Snake Hands and Dragon Fire Technique are C-rank ninjutsu, which do not consume much chakra. At this moment, Mitarashi Anko looked at the fact that the trouble had been resolved in the blink of an eye, leaving only a disabled person, and a mocking smile appeared on her face.

"That's right, I am Mitarashi Anko, a disciple of Orochimaru, one of the Three Legendary Sannin. Now you'd better surrender obediently."

The other person, sweating profusely, looked at the other individual. Upon seeing the red eyeballs in the other person's eye sockets, he gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect there to be another Uchiha ninja with Sharingan!"

They're too cunning. One is an Uchiha who has awakened his Sharingan, and the other is a disciple of one of the Legendary Sannin. Even if they faced each other head-on, he wouldn't be confident he could leave alive, let alone the fact that they are clearly very cunning, having devised a scheme with one step after another.

"Heh, ninjas rely on their brains, especially intelligence."

Seeing the other person's gritted teeth, Uchiha Yoru smiled, clearly intending to infuriate him.

However, what he said was true. Unless you reach the level of being able to take on everything in the later stages, a ninja before that is a fragile but high-attack class, and even a single kunai can be fatal.

In the early stages, ninjas relied entirely on intelligence and cunning to overcome the strong and the many, rather than simply meeting each other and forming hand seals to unleash ninjutsu; that would be utter nonsense.

Huhu~

With rapid breathing, the man's expression suddenly changed, and his body instantly stiffened. His escape plan had failed. Feeling the changes within his body, he stared in disbelief at the two incredibly young Konoha genius ninjas before him, trembling as he asked, "When were you poisoned?!"

He was talking so much nonsense while secretly observing the escape route. However, at this moment, his chakra seemed to be out of control, and a feeling of dizziness rose in his mind. With his experience, he knew that he had been poisoned.

As his consciousness began to waver, he remembered the time when the boy used Chidori to cut off his arm. Only at that moment could he have been poisoned. Then he saw the boy and girl opposite him smiling. Finally, he collapsed onto the soft lawn with a thud.
