Traveling through Naruto with Heroes of Might and Magic.

Page 48

Qingwu, who was standing on the head of the withered tree guardian, lowered his hands as if he had lost the will to resist.

【Ding! 】

A system notification sounded, and a splash of emerald green appeared in the darkness.

The lush greenery grew from small to large, transforming into grass and trees, into forests, and into...

"boom!"

Qingwu regained consciousness in time.

Orochimaru was already in front of him, extending his hand towards him.

"Oh? You managed to break free from my Naraku-viewing technique so quickly!"

Orochimaru was slightly surprised. It was one thing for a 13-year-old boy to know so many things, but he could even resist genjutsu?

"retreat!"

Qingwu wanted to create distance between himself and Orochimaru first.

However, at close range, Orochimaru had the upper hand.

The Kusanagi sword sliced through the wooden cage, and Orochimaru, having taken a direct hit from the "magic arrow," had his head fly out again, spinning around and biting into the back of Qingwu's neck.

"what--"

Qingwu felt intense pain coursing through his body, and binding spells appeared on his body, rendering him unable to move once again.

"It's over, hehehe..."

Even under these circumstances, Orochimaru was still able to make strange noises.

"Lord Orochimaru, you..."

A Konoha squad of a dozen or so people arrived late, accompanied by several examiners, including Kurenai Yuhi.

Orochimaru glanced at them coldly.

It's time to leave.

He only needs to continue injecting the cursed seal poison, and the boy in front of him will have his chakra flow completely sealed, making it easy to take him away.

"Master Orochimaru!"

Seeing that Orochimaru was still harming the boy whom the Hokage cherished, the leader of the ANBU squad gritted his teeth and gave the order: "Save him!"

Facing Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin.

Everyone in the Anbu was apprehensive, but they still unleashed their ninjutsu.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

"Water Release: Water Chaos Technique!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

"..."

Under the cover of ninjutsu, Kurenai Yuhi stealthily crept beneath the withered tree guard, unleashing "Illusory Tree Binding Kill!"

At this moment, Kurenai Yuhi understood why she was chosen to be the chief examiner.

Illusionist ninjas are rare.

If an unexpected event like the one before her occurs, she can coordinate with the Dark Division to make the attacks more diverse, making them even harder for the enemy to resist.

"Humph!"

Orochimaru, "reluctantly," continued to bite Qingwu's nape, wanting to pull Qingwu away first.

Unexpectedly, the withered tree guardian beneath their feet sprouted even more roots, firmly fixing Qingwu's body to the top of their heads.

Having no other choice, Orochimaru had to summon Manda, who had already been transferred away.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The ninjutsu struck Manda.

Even the thick-skinned Wanshe couldn't withstand it.

"That damned Orochimaru!"

Bang!

Having already been riddled with wounds from the Wood Spirit's arrows, Wanshe used the "Snake Shedding Technique" to save his life and then deliberately dispelled the summoning.

"strangeness!"

Orochimaru ignored Manda and was surprised that the boy beneath his mouth had not yet been sealed away.

Just then, Orochimaru "saw" himself enveloped by countless roots, with only his head showing.

A female ninja wearing a Konoha headband emerged from the roots, thrusting a kunai at his neck.

"Hmph, release!"

At this time, Orochimaru had not yet undergone the Reanimation Jutsu, and since his soul was not in serious condition, he was not entirely defenseless against genjutsu.

Kurenai's illusion failed.

However, it's not entirely useless.

She bought Qingwu a few moments.

The natural energy within Qingwu's body finally overwhelmed the power of the cursed seal, thus breaking free from Orochimaru's control.

In fact, Orochimaru's cursed seal also originated from the development of natural energy.

However, the unstable natural energy, although it had the advantage of "quantity" due to Orochimaru's personal strength, was still present.

However, Qingwu's natural energy is clearly of a higher level. Even if its "quantity" is not as good as Orochimaru's, its "quality" is superior.

This is also why Orochimaru's "Binding Seal" couldn't take effect quickly.

"The Slowing Technique!"

"Magic Arrow!"

Qingwu had just broken free of control when he unleashed a series of attacks.

Orochimaru, who had been forced back, finally showed a change in expression. "Qingwu-kun... he's actually alright?"

It's one thing if it wasn't sealed, but it can also instantly unleash two unsealed ninjutsu?

Is this still a 13-year-old boy?

Orochimaru's heart was filled with ripples.

Immediately, facing the second wave of attacks launched by the Dark Division, anger emerged for the first time today.

"That's an eyesore!"

Susu!

Orochimaru quickly formed hand seals, unleashing a surge of chakra...

Chapter 48 I'm late!

The eerie background music still hadn't ended.

The ground was littered with the corpses of the murdered secret agents and several examiners.

Total wipeout!!

Only Kurenai Yuhi survived by hiding under the withered tree guard, but she couldn't help but feel fear and tremble.

did not expect.

Kurenai Yuhi hadn't expected Orochimaru to be so decisive in taking action against the village's ninjas.

"Hey! Qingwu-jun, come with me!"

Orochimaru's voice was incredibly cold.

After using the 'Orochimaru-style Substitution Technique', his chakra was already greatly depleted.

So just now, I used a burst of power from a Kage-level expert to eliminate all the troublesome guys.

The body of the withered tree guardian was also riddled with holes.

Qingwu was also trembling, and he tried his best to suppress his fear.

But the terrifying strength of the man before him still brought him unparalleled pressure.

"Huff... hiss..."

His natural energy was also almost depleted.

He tried to heal the withered tree guardian with water magic, but his current energy level was just a drop in the ocean compared to the massive guardian.

I can't hold on much longer...

"tread!"

Orochimaru approached step by step.

The number of roots extending from the dead tree guardian is decreasing.

Orochimaru easily used Wind Release to cut through the enemy without stopping.

Hiding beneath the withered tree guardian, Kurenai Yuhi mustered her courage and stepped forward.

However, just as she reached out to form a hand seal, she was bound by the Hidden Shadow Snake Hand that bulged out of Orochimaru's sleeve.

"tread!"

Qingwu commanded the wood elves to launch a ranged attack.

Orochimaru slammed his hand on the ground: "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

As the arrow shattered the earthen wall, Orochimaru was already in front of Qingwu.

Qingwu used the natural energy above the safety line to activate the "Slowing Technique" again!
