Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 398 Sealing

I just used up a lot of chakra to restore my body to its original state.

Orochimaru didn't even have time to catch his breath.

A flash of sword light pierced towards him once again.

"They really don't give people a moment to breathe!"

Using his Kusanagi sword to block the attack, Orochimaru turned his gaze to another Toshiro.

"This is?"

Looking at the black runes in the other person's hand, Orochimaru's already needle-like pupils shrank even further.

"It's a sealing technique!"

As the beloved student of the Third Hokage, he was familiar with sealing techniques and had even read through the Uzumaki Scroll. He knew that if he were to fall victim to this technique, he would be in considerable trouble.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Without any hesitation, facing the Sharingan, he wisely used the Shadow Clone Technique developed by the Second Hokage, creating six shadow clones. These clones either attacked Toshiro's Yin Release clones and main body, or twisted their snake tails to create distance between themselves and Toshiro at an extremely fast speed.

This is the best way to confuse the other party.

"Delusion!"

The white smoke that appeared when the shadow clones were activated effectively concealed Orochimaru's true form. Even his Sharingan couldn't detect the anomaly between them in a short time.

However, there are ways to deal with this.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Fire Technique"

He opened his mouth and spat out a large number of fireballs the size of footballs, which attacked the six clones one by one, disrupting their rhythm.

Toshiro's hands did not stop moving.

The greatsword, two feet wide and two meters long, was thrown directly onto the heads of these Orochimarus by Toshiro.

"burst!"

As the low shout came out, the chakra sword that was still in the air suddenly exploded, turning into countless small swords, each less than two inches long.

Like a sudden summer afternoon rain, it stirred up a blue-green wave. After 'Frosty Sky' exploded, it turned into countless small sharp blades, which 'splashed' towards Orochimaru.

shhhhhh!

Puff puff!

The former is the sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air, while the latter is the sound of these small swords piercing the surrounding grass and soil.

These incredibly thin chakra blades, each less than two inches in size, slicing through the air with a sharp, piercing sound, making their power undeniable.

The four Orochimarus who had scattered and fled lay on the grass, twisting and turning to fully demonstrate what it means to move like a snake.

Unfortunately, Toshiro's attack this time was too dense. Although he dodged a large number of attacks, with three loud bangs as his clones dissipated, only his main body remained on the field.

Moreover, the body is covered with countless tiny holes, from which a large number of bright red blood spots have seeped out.

"That's a truly terrifying offensive!"

This kind of all-encompassing attack meant he couldn't completely evade it, but now is not the time to lament about it.

Because Toshiro's figure had already caught up with him.

"Are you trying to use this Yin Release clone to entangle me first?"

His other two shadow clones, who were busy entangled with Toshiro's main body, stayed around him and were therefore unaffected by the attack.

He is still using his last bit of energy to help him entangle Toshiro's true form.

"Don't get entangled with him!"

For people of their caliber, the strength of clones is still somewhat insufficient. Most of the time, they only serve as auxiliary functions such as delaying time and confusing the public.

If you get bogged down by these clones and expend a lot of energy on them, you'll be playing right into their hands.

As Orochimaru lightly wielded his longsword, attacking the Yin Release clone, his snake mouth opened wide.

A scarlet tongue, carrying a large amount of chakra, drew an arc and attacked the flank of the clone.

"Um?"

"Is it an illusionary clone?"

With his Kusanagi sword and tongue attack both missing their mark, Orochimaru quickly distanced himself from the clone. This clone possessed some of the properties of a phantom clone, making his physical attacks seem completely ineffective.

That is indeed the case.

This is a shadow clone that Toshiro specially developed using Yin Release combined with Shadow Imitation Technique. When a physical attack is about to strike, he can directly turn his body or a part of his body into a shadow to avoid physical damage.

Even if Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword is extremely sharp, it is useless against a patch of shadow.

Haw!

Orochimaru pulled his tongue back into his mouth, making a smacking sound with a slightly sticky quality. He looked at the Yin Release clone in front of him and began to think about how he should deal with it.

If you can't quickly deal with the opponent's clones, you can't hold off the opponent's shadow clones for long.

"This is?"

Although the opponent is somewhat similar to a phantom clone, he has many tricks up his sleeve. He knows a lot of sealing techniques and secret ninjutsu, so there are plenty of ways to deal with him.

But just as he was about to make his move, an unexpected event occurred.

He discovered that he couldn't move at all.

"Shadow Imitation Technique!"

Turning his eyes to look at the black shadow connecting him and the other, Orochimaru had no idea what kind of trick he had been tricked into.

However, he remained calm.

Orochimaru is no ordinary person; he not only has an unusual snake tail, but also a third arm.

If an ordinary person were hit by the Shadow Imitation Technique, they would have difficulty even moving. But he is not an ordinary person. Not only can he move with his snake tail, but he can also try to attack with his third hand.

With its jaws agape, its long tongue shot out again, grabbing the Kusanagi sword in its hand and thrusting it towards the opponent's figure.

Since the opponent is using the Shadow Imitation Technique to control their actions, they can no longer maintain the illusionary state and therefore cannot ignore the sharpness of the Kusanagi Sword.

呲!

Seeing the Kusanagi sword thrusting towards him, Toshiro's clone was also helpless! Orochimaru is really troublesome. Ordinary people, once hit by the Shadow Imitation Technique, can only surrender helplessly, but this monster can not only move, but also counterattack so quickly.

Left with no other choice, he had to loosen his grip on Orochimaru. Fortunately, he had bought enough time, as his main body had already dealt with Orochimaru's shadow clone.

"it's over!"

"Seal - Tianjin Must-Have Seal"

With his left hand on Orochimaru's body, as Orochimaru finished speaking, a large number of black runes enveloped Orochimaru like a black net.

Only then did Toshiro finally breathe a sigh of relief, having finally dealt with this annoying guy.

Orochimaru is just too... sticky!

Yes, it's viscous!
