I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

Upon landing, Anko immediately shielded the badly injured and swaying Sasuke behind her, saying, "Can you still move? Run quickly, back the way I came from."

Sasuke could have easily escaped, but he felt that in his current state, he couldn't get very far.

If the examiner in front of him loses, he will be caught up and killed as well.

Besides, Naruto and Sakura are still here; even if he wants to escape, he has to take them with him.

So he simply kept quiet and pretended not to hear.

When Anko heard that the kid behind her was not making any noise, she stopped paying attention to Sasuke.

The 'teacher' in front of her still brought her a great sense of pressure.

Especially after being stared at by those snake-like eyes, I always felt that I would be killed by them at any moment.

Hongdou knew she was no match for the other party, but she still came. One reason was that as the chief examiner of this survival trial, she had the obligation and responsibility to protect the lives of the candidates in the event of such an unexpected situation.

As for the other reason...

She faced Orochimaru with the conviction that she was destined to die!

Because he was fearless of death, he was able to move freely even under Orochimaru's murderous aura.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

The same ninjutsu, when used by Anko now, is more powerful than Sasuke's before, after all, Sasuke is still too young.

Orochimaru didn't want to become a roasted snake, so he quickly dodged.

It turns out that the fire jutsu was just a decoy; the real purpose was to force him down from the tree.

Taking advantage of the moment when the flames obscured her vision, Hongdou quickly closed the distance.

"Hidden Shadow Serpent Hands!"

"Hidden Shadow Serpent Hands!"

Orochimaru made no attempt to hide his wicked sense of humor and chose to use the same ninjutsu.

A large number of venomous snakes intertwined once again.

Orochimaru couldn't help but speak up, "What's wrong? I didn't expect you to be so cold after all these years. You're using the ninjutsu I taught you against me, yet you won't even call me 'teacher'?"

"I don't want a teacher like you who does whatever he wants!"

Red Bean retorted without hesitation and then opted for close-quarters combat.

Orochimaru kept dodging, as if he was holding back, or as if he wasn't used to this body.

Anko seized the opportunity, using a kunai to immobilize her left hand and Orochimaru's right hand. Then, she grabbed Orochimaru's left hand with her right hand and began to form hand seals!

Two snakes are fighting!

This is a forbidden technique that Anko learned from Orochimaru. From the beginning, Anko's goal was clear: to perish together with Orochimaru.

However, just as the hand seals were about to be completed, a voice rang out from not far behind Hongdou.

"Even if you are my disciple, you cannot use the forbidden techniques I taught you against your teacher. Here's one last lesson for you: next time you want to use this move, remember to control your expression and don't start off with a tragic look that says, 'I'm going to die with you.'"

Red Bean was startled, only then noticing that Orochimaru, whom she had captured, was actually beginning to melt...

"A clone? When?"

Hongdou was completely fooled by her teacher and almost perished along with one of his clones.

Red Bean immediately let go and turned around to try the same trick again, but Orochimaru's summoned white snake grabbed her neck and lifted her into the air.

The intense feeling of suffocation gradually robbed her of her ability to resist...

"There won't be a next time. If you dare to spoil my fun again, I'll destroy this village."

Orochimaru walked over and pinched Anko's cheek, speaking in a very teasing tone.

But it seems he doesn't want to kill his former disciple like that, and is preparing to let Hongdou go a second time.

Orochimaru softened his heart?

Or is it a deep bond between master and disciple?

neither.

The real reason is probably the Heavenly Curse Mark on Red Bean's body.

Even now, there are not many experimental subjects who have successfully implanted the Heavenly Curse Mark and survived.

These people, including Anko, will all become vessels for Orochimaru's reincarnation in the future.

Therefore, Orochimaru would never choose to destroy these 'containers' unless absolutely necessary.

This is the real reason why red beans have been able to survive.

Pfft!

Hongdou, who had already been strangled unconscious, fell directly to the ground.

Sasuke witnessed the whole process, and his heart almost sank to the bottom of the sea.

Even the examiner of this exam was powerless against the opponent and was easily defeated.

And judging from their conversation, they're actually master and disciple?!

This is just too outrageous!

Someone like that infiltrating must be part of a huge conspiracy.

Sasuke smiled bitterly to himself, unable to understand why he was so unlucky. First, he ran into Rock Lee and his group, and then he encountered this kind of thing.

Now, forget about winning first place in the Chunin Exams; he probably won't even be able to save his own life.

This guy in front of us looks like a ruthless killer; we'll never let him go.

But just then, another voice rang out, "It's you again, you old viper. We haven't settled the score with you from the Water Kingdom yet."

[Chapter 237. Fragile as a child (Three chapters today, a little break~)]

After Orochimaru dealt with his former disciple, he prepared to place a cursed seal on Sasuke as well.

If the other party survives, then it will become one of my alternative containers.

If we fail, then so be it, we die.

But just then, a figure that surprised him stood in front of him.

"The Land of Water? So you're from Kirigakure. No wonder you stopped me from taking that brat away back then."

Upon seeing Shinji appear, Orochimaru was initially taken aback, then sneered.

But when he suddenly recalled some unpleasant memories, he suddenly realized what was happening.

"No! You..."

Orochimaru was somewhat surprised and uncertain, because he remembered that the masked man who killed him in the Land of Water was punishing him for his betrayal as a member of Akatsuki!

Then this person and the masked man are clearly in cahoots...

However, he was certain that the person in front of him was definitely not a member of the Akatsuki.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have reacted that way after recognizing him.

Now this guy has brazenly reappeared here.

This confused him a bit.

Is he really hiding multiple identities, or is this kid also being kept in the dark?

Orochimaru suddenly became uncertain.

And if this guy is here, doesn't that mean the masked man is also...?

The thought of being brutally murdered in the Land of Water made his face turn pale, and he even considered retreating temporarily, or abandoning his plan altogether and leaving Konoha.

"Brother Shinji!"

In his despair, Sasuke seemed to see hope again.

If it were Shinji's older brother who defeated that man, he would definitely be able to win, right?

"Sasuke, watch carefully, don't blink."

"This is the power I seek—to stand at the pinnacle!"

"Domain expands, blood-red apocalypse!"

When Shinji said those words, Sasuke was deeply shocked, and his blood boiled.

Orochimaru, however, felt an extremely strong sense of crisis!

Then, in the next moment, the world changed color.

Blood shrouded the sky, the earth, and the sea, and a blood moon slowly rose.

Upon closer inspection, a massive, blood-red arm seemed to connect heaven and earth, with a blood-red throne resting in the center of its palm. A figure sat upon the throne, resting his chin on one hand, looking down upon all living beings.

Sasuke stared in disbelief at the scene before him, even though his reason kept telling him that it was an illusion, an illusion!

Just like the Tsukuyomi that Itachi used on him back then.

But deep inside him, a voice was also shouting, "This is not an illusion! Everything before my eyes is real!"

As for Orochimaru, he tried to escape the moment the world changed.

After failing to escape, they immediately tried to dispel the 'illusion', but failed again.

This made Orochimaru realize that ordinary methods were no longer working.

So he immediately thought of the art of reverse spirit communication.

At this critical juncture, we would not hesitate to sacrifice even one more Manda.

But just as he made a move, Shinji simply snapped his fingers, and Orochimaru's hands broke off and fell to the ground.

Sasuke saw it clearly: in that instant, a circular blood ring spread outwards from Orochimaru's wrists, and then both of his hands were severed.

What exactly is that power?!

Even Orochimaru was incredibly shocked at this moment, because he discovered that the blood in his body had completely begun to run rampant out of control.
