Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 393 The Battle Begins

"I really underestimated Toshiro-kun!"

"They haven't even awakened the Sharingan yet!"

Orochimaru was very dissatisfied to see that Toshiro only used his new bloodline limit to block the attack, without even activating his Sharingan.

"I'm also ready to see if the Mangekyou Sharingan is as mysterious and unpredictable as the legends say."

Before he could finish speaking, four or five black, spotted snakes, each as thick as an arm, emerged from the cuffs of Orochimaru's khaki shirt and lunged at Toshiro with their fangs bared.

Clearly, the opponent had a backup plan for this attack, which was his signature move, 'Hidden Shadow Snake Hand'!

"To witness the Mangekyou Sharingan, we'll have to see what Orochimaru-senpai has to offer!"

Before these annoying pythons could even get close, Toshiro opened his mouth and spat out an invisible wind blade that neutralized Orochimaru's attack.

The Hidden Shadow Snake Hands ninjutsu is only good for dealing with ordinary ninjas; in battles at their level, it can only serve as a harassment.

"Really! You're quite confident!"

Toshiro was like this, and Pain, who had just taught him a lesson, was also like this. These young people nowadays are really something else.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate." Since the opponent had taken the initiative, Toshiro didn't care at all and directly increased his chakra output.

Then he tilted his head.

The wind blade he spoke of did not dissipate after slicing the Hidden Shadow Snake Hand to pieces. Instead, it moved with Toshiro's head, bringing Orochimaru's body into its attack range.

brush!

As Toshiro shook his head, Orochimaru's body separated into upper and lower parts, cut in half at the waist by the wind blade from his mouth, and his corpse fell to the ground.

Before Kabuto, who was watching from the sidelines, could even utter a cry of alarm, a huge python charged headlong towards Toshiro.

It was the python that Orochimaru had summoned earlier, intending to swallow Toshiro whole.

Faced with this attack, Toshiro did not choose to kill it with his 'Frost Sky', but instead gathered his strength in his hand and threw a punch at the opponent.

It wasn't that he wanted to use brute force to deal with the attack of the summoned serpent, but rather that he simply didn't have time to pay attention to it, because Orochimaru's follow-up attack had arrived.

"An earthen substitute?"

The Orochimaru who had just been cut in two by the wind blade from Toshiro's mouth suddenly turned into a puddle of flowing brown mud on the ground. After wriggling for a while, his figure re-emerged behind Toshiro.

Then he thrust his sword towards Toshiro's back.

Toshiro swung his left fist, using his superhuman strength to knock Orochimaru back. Then, he twisted his right wrist, causing the chakra sword in his hand to swing backward, extending its length as it deflected the opponent's attack, and slashing towards Orochimaru with a sweeping strike.

"What a convenient ability!"

Using his longsword to block Toshiro's attack, Orochimaru used the force of the sword to create distance.

With his departure, the serpent that had been repelled by Toshiro's superhuman strength launched another attack on Toshiro.

However, it didn't stubbornly continue. Instead, its massive snake body twisted and arced as it charged towards Toshiro's flank.

Moreover, as its abdominal scales rapidly writhed, it quickly surrounded the Winter Lion's entire body, forming a mountain of flesh.

Furthermore, this mountain of flesh is slowly tightening, seemingly intending to strangle Toshiro to death, just as it did with its previous opponents.

However, how could an attack of this magnitude possibly stump Toshiro?

The chakra sword in his hand, which originally only extended to about two meters, began to grow in size as he poured in his chakra.

Brush brush!

Several streaks of blue-green chakra flashed by, and the python, which had been tightening its body, suddenly stopped.

Then his whole body started to convulse, followed by a large amount of blood spurting out.

"This is really troublesome!"

Seeing the oncoming snake blood, Toshiro, who had been caught off guard by Orochimaru, had no better options. He simply used his own Rasengan version of the Rotation Technique to block the attack.

Orochimaru, who was watching all this from the outside, did not feel the slightest regret that his summoned snake was killed by Toshiro. Instead, he had a smile that seemed to indicate that his prey had fallen into a trap.

"burst!"

As he uttered the word "explosion".

The scales on the giant serpent he summoned changed.

Originally the size of a palm, the yellowish-brown scales disappeared, revealing a dense array of explosive tags.

boom!

A burst of orange-red flames was followed by a huge plume of black smoke.

This is a tactic he often uses in war: first, the summoned serpent launches the first wave of attacks, then his main body launches an attack to distract the opponent, and then he uses Shadow Serpent Hands to harass them.

For an ordinary ninja, these three moves are enough to defeat him. If he encounters a stronger opponent, the giant snake he summons will launch a fourth wave of attacks.

If that doesn't kill the opponent, then control the giant snake to completely envelop them and use the explosive tags he prepared beforehand to blow them to pieces.

This attack is a series of interconnected attacks; if a weaker Kage-level expert is not careful, he could very well perish.

……

What was that sound?

A group of Iwa ninjas dressed in khaki combat uniforms were patrolling the border when the leader of the Iwa ninjas suddenly stopped and began to listen intently.

"I think I just heard a lot of explosive tags exploding!"

The sound was fleeting; when he stopped, all he could hear was the whistling sound of the wind whistling through the hills.

Turning around, he asked his subordinates behind him, still somewhat unwilling to give up, "Did you hear anything?"

"Captain Brown Ridge, we haven't found anything!"

When questioned by their superior, the Iwa ninjas following behind him exchanged glances and then shook their heads in unison.

"Did I hear that right?"

Having just finished the war with the Sand Ninja and Cloud Ninja, this Iwa Ninja, who had just retreated from the front lines, frowned and listened for a while longer, but still found nothing.

"Captain! Look over there!"

Just when Captain Brown Ridge thought he was too tense and hadn't yet adapted to this routine border patrol mission, a young man in the team pointed into the distance.

With a flick of his finger, Captain Brown Ridge quickly noticed the anomaly in the distance.

"This black smoke is from a large-scale explosion of detonating tags. Guangxi, go back and report to the outpost to send more men. The rest of you come with me to take a look!"

After instructing his subordinates who had discovered the anomaly to return and report, Captain Heling led his men and crept off into the distance.
