Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 396 Yin-style Clone

Just as Toshiro was sealed by Orochimaru's Snake Mouth Binding.

Five or six kilometers away from where they were fighting, a middle-aged Iwa ninja silently put down his binoculars.

"Prepare to retreat; we can't handle them."

After flipping through the ninja manual in his hand and looking at two photos to confirm the other person's appearance, Captain Browning turned and left.

"But Captain, shouldn't we go and drive them away?"

One of the younger team members, clearly unwilling to retreat so easily, looked in the direction of Toshiro and the others' battle and said with resentment.

"Idiot, the opponent is a ninja of the Tsuchikage level. We'd be just throwing our lives away if we went."

"More important than this, we should bring the intelligence back!"

After giving his young subordinate a brief reprimand, Captain Heling led his team away from the spot.

"Orochimaru-senpai certainly has a wide variety of methods!"

Trapped in place by Orochimaru, Toshiro showed no signs of panic, calmly looking at his opponent as if his precarious situation did not exist at all.

"It seems Toshiro-kun's methods are just as impressive!"

Seeing the other party's unhurried demeanor, Orochimaru realized something, and his expression became even more serious.

At the same time, his gaze swept over Toshiro, as if trying to see right through him.

"Did you notice?"

Seeing Orochimaru's actions, Toshiro saw no need to continue pretending. As he finished speaking, another Toshiro stood up from the shadow that had been on Orochimaru's body.

Similar to the Toad Body Shadow Manipulation Technique used by Jiraiya when he infiltrated Amegakure in the original work, Toshiro also hid his true form in the shadows.

The ones fighting Orochimaru outside are always his clones.

"A brilliant concealment; it actually fooled me!"

"Is it a clone technique related to Yin Release? Toshiro has really surprised me."

Since he had only trapped a Yin Release clone, Orochimaru saw no need to maintain the immobilization jutsu and instead aimed his Kusanagi sword at Toshiro.

"I have to thank Orochimaru-senpai's Impure World Reincarnation technique for this. With this ninjutsu, some so-called family secret techniques are no secret to me at all!"

Living people can implant spells or other magical symbols on themselves to ensure that their secrets are not revealed, but dead people do not have such concerns.

With the addition of his eye power, the dead he summoned had no way to resist him.

"Oh! It seems Toshiro has tried this ninjutsu!"

Even Orochimaru didn't expect that Toshiro would use the Impure World Reincarnation jutsu for interrogation, or rather, for secret techniques.

"It seems that Toshiro-kun isn't exactly a conventional person after all!"

The thought that the other party might have mastered a large number of Konoha's clans' secret ninjutsu made Orochimaru very curious about what kind of expression his teacher or the heads of those secret ninjutsu clans would have if they knew about it.

At the same time, he also knew that his idea might not be feasible at all.

He had originally wanted to try capturing Toshiro and testing the Reanimation Jutsu on him before obtaining Pain's body.

Although the opponent was very strong and not a good candidate for a trial, Orochimaru was confident that he could control the situation.

"It seems Orochimaru-senpai is quite interested in my body too!"

With psychic abilities, immobilization spells, and poison, the opponent wasn't just looking to experience the kaleidoscope; they clearly wanted to use me as a vessel for reincarnation.

But... isn't he being a little too confident?

Looking at Orochimaru who was smiling without saying a word, Toshiro really wanted to say, "Your approach is useless."

If you can't even handle Sasuke's three-tomoe form, don't even think about these underhanded schemes.

However, he also knew that there was a saying that one would not turn back until one hit a brick wall, so he would wait until Orochimaru had been taught a lesson a few times before making any decisions.

"Well then... Orochimaru-senpai, you'd better be careful in the battle to come, and don't let me take you down so easily!"

Taking the chakra sword from the Yin Release clone, and letting it transform into a shadow and disappear into his own shadow, Toshiro began to fight the opponent using his own true form.

"Not bad, a clone!"

Standing still, she watched as Toshiro's clone transformed into a black shadow and disappeared into the other's shadow.

Orochimaru licked his lips and said, "I wonder what Nara Shikaku would think if he saw this!"

Compared to the Nara family's Shadow Binding Technique, Toshiro's Yin Release clones are undoubtedly more troublesome, especially in close combat. If you don't pay special attention to the opponent's shadows, you might get killed by Toshiro in one fell swoop.

"The Nara clan?"

"It doesn't matter. Even if they see me use this ninjutsu, they can't say anything. After all, this clone technique is completely different from their family's secret techniques!"

With his mastery of Yin Release, how could a mere Shadow Imitation Technique possibly satisfy him? As soon as he obtained the relevant information about this ninjutsu, he completely altered it beyond recognition.

Even if it were placed in front of Shikaku now, he probably wouldn't recognize it, let alone offer any opinion.

"Alright, let's not talk about these irrelevant things. Let's see if this so-called Snake Mouth Binding Technique is as unbreakable as you said, and whether it can withstand the longsword in my hand!"

After saying this, Toshiro immediately swung his chakra sword and stabbed it at the flesh-colored wall next to him.

Not content with that, Toshiro, to prevent Orochimaru from interfering, opened his mouth and spat out a flame that filled the entire narrow passage.

These flames serve two purposes: firstly, to restrain Orochimaru, and secondly, to burn away toxins in the air.

As for oxygen! Toshiro said that he could hold his breath for ten minutes or more without any problem.

puff!

As Toshiro channeled more chakra into his hands, a sound like a sharp blade cutting through flesh rang out, and then the flesh-colored walls in front of him turned into a cloud of white smoke and disappeared.

Having completed all of this, Toshiro did not stop his actions. Instead, he transformed into an invisible afterimage and rushed towards Orochimaru's location as he sensed it.

"Good timing!"

Hearing the commotion, Orochimaru showed no sign of backing down. As one of the Legendary Sannin, he was proud, and he was still very unhappy about being taught a lesson by Jiraiya's disciple, Pain, some time ago.

He could take advantage of this battle with Toshiro to vent the frustration that had been building up inside him.
