boom!
At the same time, the land in this area collapsed, and several ravine-like cracks appeared on the surface, raising a lot of dust.
Suddenly struck by this attack, Dou felt a rush of blood to his head and a sharp pain in the area where he was hit. Only now did he truly understand the terrifying power of this monstrous strength.
This pain felt like my bones were about to shatter.
"Damn it, is this superhuman strength? It's terrifying. Luckily, the meeting place was on a plain, otherwise... As expected of Lord Orochimaru, he's so cautious."
Kabuto hadn't known before why Orochimaru chose such a remote place for their talks, but now he finally understood.
"We have no choice but to find a way to stop him."
He struggled to raise his arm, intending to use the chakra blade to destroy Neji's muscles and meridians.
boom!
But at that moment, Neji swept Kabuto away with a whip kick, the powerful impact causing Kabuto to smash through the rock behind him.
Neji then immediately flipped backward, came to Tsunade's side, and carried her to a distance, where he confronted Orochimaru and Kabuto.
"Host embraces Tsunade, receiving the reward [Hundred Healings Technique]."
Hundred Healings Technique: The ultimate combat-type medical ninjutsu. When activated, the cursed seal covers the entire body. The moment it is injured, it begins to regenerate rapidly and automatically without affecting the attack rhythm. However, it consumes far more chakra than ordinary medical ninjutsu. Even very small injuries will regenerate. However, it will reduce lifespan after use.
Although he had obtained a powerful S-rank ninjutsu, Neji was not in a joyful mood. He shielded Tsunade behind him and looked at her with some worry in his eyes.
This woman's experience was too tragic. Her lover and younger brother died from excessive blood loss due to severe injuries. Even though she was a famous "medical saint" in the ninja world, she could only watch them die in front of her.
So much so that even a little blood could terrify Tsunade to this extent.
"So the person Tsunade was talking about was you, Neji." Orochimaru was somewhat wary of Neji's arrival. Of all the people in the ninja world, the only one who made him feel like death was imminent was Neji.
That thing, which resembled the Corpse Bone Pulse, made Orochimaru feel that it was even more dangerous than Amaterasu. If it hit him, even his Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique wouldn't be able to save him.
However, being one of the Legendary Sannin, he quickly calmed down. Although the technique was wondrous, it had too many limitations, so he was only somewhat wary of it.
Neji's visit to Tsunade this time is probably because he wants her to return and succeed him as Hokage.
This explains everything. In Orochimaru's view, the relationship between Tsunade and Neji was extraordinary, and it was not surprising that Tsunade would listen to Neji's advice.
"Hehe, it seems your relationship with Tsunade is quite special." Orochimaru's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them as he spoke with a chuckle.
"Orochimaru! Since you knew that, you still dared to attack her. It seems that you will never know pain unless you are taught a lesson."
Neji spoke slowly and deliberately, then with a flash, he leaped over Kabuto and charged towards Orochimaru.
"Lord Orochimaru, watch out!"
Kabuto shouted, but Neji, with his speed, was already in front of Orochimaru before Kabuto could finish the shout, and his lion-head-shaped chakra blasts directly at Orochimaru.
"Graceful Steps and Double Lion Fists!"
"Neji, although I can't use my hands, I'm still one of the Legendary Sannin. You underestimate me. Tsunade is in more danger than me," Orochimaru sneered.
Neji's sudden attack, disregarding everything, startled Orochimaru, but only for a moment; his Kage-level combat skills were no joke.
Then, he was about to get up and move aside when, at the same time, Kabuto understood Orochimaru's intentions and went straight for Tsunade.
Chapter 59 Orochimaru: My situation is very dangerous!
"Heh, Orochimaru, I was somewhat wary of you before, but now, you can't even form hand seals. Do you really think you can survive against me with just your few survival tricks?!"
Seeing Kabuto rush towards Tsunade, Neji showed no concern and continued running towards Orochimaru.
"Hidden Shadow Serpent Hand!"
Suddenly, four blue pythons emerged from Neji's left arm, wrapped around Orochimaru, and threw him backward.
But then, Orochimaru opened his mouth wide, and another Orochimaru emerged from it, spitting out a sharp sword that stabbed at Neji.
"Heh, Orochimaru's Substitution Jutsu, huh?"
Neji sneered, immediately crouching down to dodge Orochimaru's thrust. At the same time, he pressed his hands to the ground and shouted, "Duoyanlujia!"
"What?!" Orochimaru was shocked when he heard this. Before he could react, he was blasted into the sky by a giant snake.
At the same time, two giant pythons burst forth from underground, coiling and circling as they attacked Orochimaru from both sides.
Upon seeing this, Orochimaru's pupils constricted. This was a ninjutsu he had researched and created over several years; how could Neji possibly use it?!
However, he obviously couldn't think too much at this moment. As the founder of this technique, he knew the terrifying destructive power of this move and hurriedly used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge the attack.
"Neji, you really surprise me. I'm becoming more and more interested in you." Orochimaru chuckled, his gaze towards Neji growing increasingly fervent.
Perhaps this is a better vessel than Sasuke, but he is not as easy to control as Sasuke.
Orochimaru suddenly had this idea: first take over Sasuke's body, then find a way to get Neji's body. And this idea became more and more uncontrollable.
The surprise Neji brought him had unknowingly surpassed the Kaleidoscope. He vaguely felt that if he could obtain Neji's body and master the technique similar to the Corpse Bone Pulse, he might be able to touch a new level.
Neji naturally had no idea about these things, but just looking at Orochimaru's eerie smile made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
"Disgusting," Neji said with disgust.
To be honest, he was thinking of just killing all the Ash Bones. To be honest, if he wasn't still useful, he really would have done it.
He didn't intend to kill Orochimaru, and besides, killing Orochimaru wouldn't be so easy.
Look at Orochimaru's ninjutsu; each one is more disgusting than the last. Compared to other ninjutsu of the same level, their attack power and effectiveness are quite ordinary, but those are all ninjutsu that can save his life.
Not to mention that Orochimaru has already witnessed the All-Killing Ash Bones and is always on guard against this move. After all, Orochimaru is the only villainous boss in Naruto who has survived from the beginning to the present.
"Neji, I'm curious, is that the Byakugan's ability?" Orochimaru asked. "Like the Sharingan, no, it's an even more terrifying ability to imitate an opponent's ninjutsu."
Is this the hidden power of the Byakugan?!
Neji was taken aback at first, then sneered: "Although your guesses are very rich, unfortunately, you're overthinking it."
Then, Neji vanished instantly and reappeared before Orochimaru, unleashing Gentle Fist, his hands moving like blue butterflies, unpredictable and ever-changing, relentlessly attacking Orochimaru.
But at that moment, Orochimaru suddenly disappeared. Neji hurriedly retreated, and just then, Orochimaru suddenly emerged from the ground, a sharp sword sticking out of his mouth.
"They say a rat's son knows how to dig a hole, but I see you, snake, are quite adept at it too," Neji retorted.
Neji was originally defeated by Naruto's technique, but unexpectedly, the wheels of history rolled on, and Orochimaru actually used the same method as Naruto.
If it weren't for the fact that his Byakugan was extremely pure and had stronger insight, Orochimaru might have really succeeded.
Then, Neji got angry and charged straight at Orochimaru without any regard for the consequences, while his hands rapidly formed hand seals.
"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
Orochimaru watched Neji charge towards him, completely ignoring the incoming flames and earth bullets. A cold smile appeared on his lips as he let these ninjutsu bombard him. Instantly, sand and dust scattered, strong winds swept outwards, and a sea of fire surged.
Almost in the blink of an eye, a large area was engulfed by flames and overgrown with weeds, and Neji arrived there at that time.
Just then, a sudden change occurred. Orochimaru used the Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique again, suddenly emerging from his own mouth, with a sharp sword thrusting straight towards Neji's chest.
*Swoosh!* Neji's chest was instantly pierced.
"Neji, you underestimate the Sannin and the Kage level. Don't worry, I won't kill you. You're my most important research material," Orochimaru chuckled.
After he revealed his true feelings, Neji's gaze toward Orochimaru became increasingly hostile. The thought of being targeted by such a pervert sent chills down his spine.
Orochimaru was taken aback when he noticed Neji's gaze. Generally speaking, anyone would be moved after being pierced by a sword, but Neji's reaction was too ordinary.
"Not good!" Orochimaru suddenly realized something and immediately tried to retreat, but Neji would not let him have his way. With a grin, another Neji naturally appeared from within.
"Orochi-style Substitution Technique!"
At this moment, Neji used his right hand to wield a chakra scalpel, slicing horizontally towards Orochimaru.
With a ripping sound, Orochimaru was instantly cut in half at the waist by Neji. At the same time, both of his hands were also cut off by Neji, falling to the ground. His upper body was suspended in mid-air, while his lower body swayed precariously.
But at that moment, a large number of snakes suddenly emerged from Orochimaru's broken body, seamlessly connecting it back together, making it one again.
"Tch, this guy still uses the same trick." Neji said unhappily. Orochimaru used this method to escape a fatal blow when fighting Naruto in his four-tailed form.
His handwriting truly reflects his personality; it's as unpredictable as a snake.
"Ah~" Orochimaru made his signature licking motion, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.
But soon, he stopped laughing.
"Orochimaru, it seems your two arms can't be reattached," Neji said with a laugh, looking at Orochimaru who looked like a human stick without his two arms.
"Tch~" Orochimaru glanced at the arms lying to the side, and his gaze toward Neji became even more cautious and wary.
What kind of ninjutsu does this guy know? Does he know all my ninjutsu?
Orochimaru was becoming uncertain. If that were the case, he would be in danger. His technique was all about surprise. If Neji also learned his technique and combined it with that technique similar to the Corpse Bone Pulse, his situation would be very bad.
but……
"Neji, don't you care whether Tsunade lives or dies?"
Chapter 60 This is an era that needs background.
Faced with Neji's relentless attacks and endless tricks, Orochimaru really wanted to leave. He suddenly realized that his previous investigation of Neji in Konoha, both overt and covert, had been a complete trap.
He knew absolutely nothing about Neji, especially since Neji had now even learned his own self-created ninjutsu. What was worse, he didn't even know how Neji had learned it.
How can he possibly fight like that?
It's really painful to watch others use the ninjutsu you created to deal with you.
"Tsunade? Heh." Neji scoffed at Orochimaru's words, "Take a good look."
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Orochimaru felt an even greater sense of unease suddenly arise in his heart, and immediately looked at Kabuto.
Kabuto exploited Tsunade's fear of blood, repeatedly harming himself to gain an absolute advantage in the battle. Faced with Kabuto's attacks, Tsunade could only dodge them one by one with great difficulty, completely powerless to resist.
"Hmph, I didn't expect you to be such a big talker, Neji." Orochimaru grinned, looking at Neji with some suspicion.
No matter how you look at it, Tsunade is in grave danger, but Neji's calm demeanor doesn't seem feigned.
"What exactly is he trying to do?" Orochimaru frowned and secretly moved a little further away from Neji.
Orochimaru's little tricks naturally didn't escape Neji's notice, to which Neji simply sneered.
Suddenly, he bit his finger and slammed it to the ground. Instantly, several strange and intricate black patterns appeared on the ground around his palm, carrying an inexplicable aura.
