Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 397 Sealing Technique

brush!

Almost at the same instant, Toshiro appeared in front of Orochimaru, his chakra sword pointing directly at Orochimaru's head.

They are ruthless and merciless from the moment they strike.

Orochimaru's response was also quite good.

Anticipating the enemy's move, he twisted his body like a snake, his neck elongating and bending in a strange way, easily dodging Toshiro's incredibly fast slash.

"Things aren't that simple!"

Seeing Orochimaru dodge his attack, Toshiro wasn't surprised. But as soon as he finished speaking, another Toshiro appeared from his shadow, each wielding a chakra sword, and charged at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru was slightly surprised, but his reaction was quick. He twisted his head again, his neck lengthened, and he wrapped around Toshiro's left arm like a python, a position that was hard to guard against.

He simply ignored the attack from Toshiro's shadow.

"You want to use the Orochi Substitution Technique to play a game of trading blows with me?"

Toshiro's reaction was extremely concise. With a slight spin of the kunai in his right hand, the chakra sword in his hand grew longer in the wind, extending several meters in an instant.

Then, with a powerful, silent, and effortless slash, Orochimaru's neck was severed in an instant, as easily as a hot scalpel cutting through butter.

Despite his successful strike, Toshiro felt no joy. The decapitated serpent turned into two soft balls of flesh, which tumbled to the ground.

Orochimaru used a substitute earth to dodge Toshiro's attack.

"A boring trick!"

This conventional tactic of using a substitute as cover to conceal one's true form and launch a sneak attack is utterly meaningless to Toshiro, who possesses exceptional sensory abilities and the Sharingan.

Just like now, Toshiro clearly sensed Orochimaru hiding underground at the six o'clock position, seemingly having used a summoning jutsu. A moment later, he heard the rustling of trees and bushes around him, followed by a giant snake leaping out, its mouth wide open, lunging to bite.

Toshiro had already sensed this and increased his chakra output. He swung his blue-green chakra sword in his right hand towards the summoning serpent, and a crescent-shaped blue-green light blade shot towards the serpent.

Like a crescent-shaped, unyielding laser beam, with a soft "poof," the snake's head, as large as a carriage, was severed by a single sword strike, leaving behind its body writhing wildly on the grass, along with splattered snake blood.

"This astonishing speed, this unprecedentedly sharp chakra sword, and this feeling of brushing shoulders with death... it's truly...exciting!"

Even underground, where there was no light at all, Orochimaru's eyes seemed to gleam with a golden light. His body trembled slightly with excitement, a sign that he was beginning to feel aroused.

Having already taken cover underground, he moved rapidly underground while pressing his hands down on the ground. Immediately, hundreds of venomous snakes crawled out of the ground, their bodies twisting into spring-like shapes, and shot out with a whoosh, pouncing towards Toshiro like sharp swords.

The swarm of venomous snakes had a wide attack range, were numerous, and moved quickly. Moreover, in the Sharingan's vision, their bodies were covered with an unusual layer of chakra, which was likely the Earth Release: Hardening Technique.

"Doesn't Orochimaru-senpai understand? This level of attack is completely ineffective against me!"

Facing the onrushing venomous snakes, Toshiro swung his chakra sword fiercely. A faint light barrier formed before him, seemingly possessing a physical form, emitting a lingering bluish-green glow.

Click!

As a venomous snake crashed into the light barrier, it was like a fragile crystal being struck by a hard object, cracking and then scattering into countless tiny blades of light, slicing the venomous snakes that were shooting towards it from all sides into countless fragments.

Orochimaru seized the opportunity when Toshiro was dealing with the attacks of these venomous snakes, suddenly emerging from behind Toshiro and launching another sneak attack.

"What a troublesome clone!"

Seeing the clone emerge once again from Toshiro's shadow to block his sword, Orochimaru felt a headache coming on. With such a clone constantly protecting his opponent's shadow, it was almost impossible for him to launch a sneak attack.

This Yin Release clone technique was specially developed by Toshiro as a ninjutsu to defend his back.

What is the most dangerous thing in the Naruto world?

It's not one of those so-called secret ninjutsu, bloodline limits, eye techniques, or space-time ninjutsu at all. The most dangerous thing is undoubtedly "stabbing from behind"!

Even the mighty Mada got stabbed in the back several times. As a time traveler, how could he not be on guard against this?

Before Orochimaru could finish lamenting how troublesome the opponent's clones were, a sword light as fast as lightning had already caught his eye.

Ding!

Orochimaru used his Kusanagi sword to defend, taking advantage of the force of the opponent's strike. Orochimaru's snake tail wriggled and twisted, slightly increasing the distance between him and Toshiro.

Given the power and speed that Toshiro has demonstrated, coupled with his Sharingan and the Yin Release clones beneath his feet, it's impossible to gain any advantage in close combat against him.

"Where would you like to go, senior?"

Although the opponent had replaced his human legs with a snake tail, greatly increasing his speed, his speed was still among the best in the ninja world, and he easily caught up with Orochimaru.

With a whoosh, the "Frost Heaven" in his hand swelled up in size, transforming into a greatsword two feet wide and two meters long, which he viciously slashed down at Orochimaru.

Oh!

Orochimaru was ambushed from behind by Toshiro. He only had time to turn to the side before being cleaved in two by Toshiro, who cut him from his left shoulder to his right abdomen.

He didn't have time to use his clone technique, so his main body took a real, solid hit from his sword!

Unfortunately, this kind of attack had no real effect on Orochimaru, who was a sixth-rate opponent; at most, it could only deplete some of his chakra.

On the ground lay Orochimaru, broken in two. Instead of bleeding from the broken upper and lower halves, venomous snakes emerged, intertwining and stitching the two halves back together.

"abnormal!"

Seeing this, Toshiro lost all interest in continuing to swing his sword.

Even if you slash him ten or eight more times, it will only consume more chakra for him.

"In that case, we'll have to try a sealing technique!"

"Sealing Technique: Tianjin Must-Have Seal"

As the hand seals were completed, a black rune coiled around Toshiro's palm.

This is one of the highest-level sealing techniques he obtained from the Vortex Scroll. It can be used without the need for Vortex Bloodstains and its effect is to seal the target's life energy.

Once trapped by this sealing technique, even if Orochimaru, that sixth brother, is troublesome, this sealing technique can still play a certain role.
