Naruto: I am Ninja World Ghost Story, who are you?

"Hehehe—I just wanted to leave my disciple for me to deal with," Orochimaru said with a laugh. He stuck out his long tongue, produced a kunai, and took it in his hand.

Nawaki put the headband that was tied to his shoulders back on and put it on his head. "Even so, I am still a Konoha ninja."

They gripped the kunai and charged forward, the clanging of their blades echoing in the air. Nawaki's attacks were relentless, sparks flying constantly.

After several rounds of attacks, Orochimaru quickly swung his kunai, intending to stab Nawaki's eyes, but Nawaki dodged it with lightning speed and, with a soft thud, used the opportunity to successfully stab Orochimaru in the abdomen.

At this moment, as blood and flesh spurted out, Rope Tree's face was filled with complex emotions.

"Teacher, you're getting old."

Logically speaking, Orochimaru shouldn't have lost in this kind of physical combat contest.

Orochimaru smiled. "It's because you've gotten stronger, Nawaki."

Before Nawaki could even breathe a sigh of relief, Orochimaru's voice rang out again.

“But it’s not strong enough.”

Orochimaru gripped the rope tree with both hands, raised his head, and another Orochimaru appeared, his hands forming hand seals:

"Substitute Binding Technique!"

The snake skin that was originally meant to be a substitute began to swell. Nawaki tried to break free, but was firmly held by the swollen 'Orochimaru'.

"This is a ninjutsu I invented after learning Ling's eye technique. It uses air expansion to give the originally useless snake skin substitute a certain degree of control."

"So, you've lost, Nawaki." Orochimaru stood on the water's surface, his right hand gripping a kunai, about to pierce Nawaki's face.

"Sweet Ganfeng!"

Orochimaru was startled and immediately retreated, dodging the pink light wave attacking from above.

The pink light wave penetrated the rope tree and snakeskin, instantly turning them into conjoined stones.

Orochimaru prepared to continue his 'attack', but then looked up at Hancock's current movements.

Suddenly, a figure that seemed to glow in the sunlight launched a kick from above.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"

The water-style defense was instantly created, and under the watchful eyes of many spectators, Hancock kicked the seawater hard. The terrifying force pierced through the water wall and struck Orochimaru squarely in the face.

boom! ! !

Orochimaru was sent flying and slid onto the surface of the sea.

On the sea, Orochimaru wiped the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself that Hancock really didn't hold back at all.

After Hancock released Rope Tree from petrification, she directly pierced through the 'Air Snake Skin' and grabbed Rope Tree, flying towards the direction of the Circus Bones.

At this moment, Hancock was flying in mid-air, carrying Rope Tree's clothes in one hand.

"I'm sorry, I've dragged Hancock down."

"If you had more time, you might have had a chance to become stronger."

"I wish I could awaken my grandfather's Wood Release." Nawaki knew his limits. He had trained for more than a year and learned a lot of ninjutsu, but he still lacked combat experience.

He looked down at Orochimaru on the sea surface, "Next time, I will definitely kill you!"

Orochimaru smiled, while Kisame, who was nearby, dived into the sea; he had no intention of letting Hancock go.

"I haven't had enough yet! You bastard!"

......

Luffy's iron head was pinned to the spot by Jirobo, and his body retreated slightly.

Luffy: ?

"You're so strong..."

At this moment, Jirobo's body was covered in black lines. He grabbed Luffy's head with both hands, twisted it violently, and intended to kill him.

But after spinning around and around, they found that Luffy was perfectly fine.

Jirobo:? ? ?

Luffy: "Speaking of which, why did you twist my neck?"

"Are you a monster?!" Jirobo couldn't help but take a step back. The remaining three members of the Sound Four split up and surrounded Luffy from the four directions.

"You're the monster. I'm just a rubber man who ate the Gum-Gum Fruit." After his head spun around, Luffy returned to his original form.

The Sound Four did not dare to be careless, and the cursed seal began to sweep over their entire bodies.

All four of them are masters of the Earth Curse Seal, possessing two stages of transformation; they are currently in the first stage.

"Rubber... then I should be able to attack with a sword, right?" Ukon clenched his fist.

“Ukon, don’t be careless. That guy is obviously not right,” Sakon calmly analyzed. “Let’s give it a try first.”

Sakon and Ukon are brothers who share one body. Sakon is usually calm, but the two brothers only appear when it's time to fight.

Seeing two heads, one on the left and one on the right, Luffy was momentarily stunned.

"Why do you have two heads...? That's so funny!"

Sakon and Ukon quickly stepped forward, and the two brothers launched a joint punch attack.

"Multi-punch combo!"

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!

Countless fists rained down on Luffy. In the climax of his final punch, Luffy was violently sent flying by Sakon and Ukon. Tayuya, who was standing in that position, dodged to make way, and Luffy flew past her.

Just when she thought Luffy would be beaten to death by Sakon and Ukon, two hands landed on her side.

She looked down and realized it was Luffy's hand!

The force was so great that she almost lost her footing, and she couldn't help but start to exert her strength, causing extremely small cracks to appear in the Wood Release arena.

"Rubber, rubber..."

"Rubber rocket launcher!"

As fast as Luffy was knocked away, he flew back at the same speed, delivering a terrifying headbutt that slammed into Sakon and Ukon's stomach.

boom! ! !

Jirobo couldn't help shouting, "Sakon, Ukon!"

thump--

Both left and right foot fell into the sea.

Obito Uchiha was speechless. Knowing that the other party was made of rubber, why did you still use your fists to hit him? Are you guys out of your minds?

"Since you are no match for me, then let me..."

"fire punch!"

Itachi Uchiha activated his crimson Susanoo.

boom! ! !

The firelight passed over where the two stood, and Black and White Zetsu arrived at a corner of the 'duel arena' to begin their explanation.

White Zetsu: "The power of Logia-type Devil Fruits is truly astonishing!"

Black Zetsu: "In the end, it's just a fire jutsu without any seals, which is still quite inferior to the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Mitarashi Anko landed on the ground, quickly stepped forward, and formed hand seals. "Anko! Don't look into the Sharingan's eyes when dealing with it."

"I know." Kurenai Yuhi appeared above the wooden floorboards that had been shattered by the Fire Fist and rushed into the sea of ​​fire.

In an instant, the flames on Kurenai's body became even stronger, and began to form super-high temperature flames on their own.

The flames that had ignited the wooden floor had not yet dissipated when the crimson Susanoo's first stage began to expand into the second stage, revealing a skeleton and a half-human Susanoo energy. Uchiha Obito was still hiding in the space, but he seemed to understand what these two guys were planning to do.

"Pillar of Flames!"

"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"

A towering burst of flames erupted on the wooden floor, turning an area tens of meters in diameter into a continuously burning, high-temperature flame. At the same time, the power of Wind Release was added to this flame, causing it to begin to rotate in an orderly manner.

The two women exclaimed in unison, "Super Fire Tornado Technique!"

Kurenai Yuhi relinquished control of the flames to Anko Mitarashi, who then used her Wind Release technique. The moment the technique was completed, Kurenai burst out of the towering fire tornado, forming Wind Release hand seals. As she retreated, she unleashed a raging tornado of red, intense heat. Anko Mitarashi stopped and stood in front of Kurenai, blocking Kidomaru and Tayuya from rushing over to provide support.

"Don't even think about getting past me." Mitarashi Anko knew she didn't have that much chakra, so rather than letting Yuhi Kurenai control the fire tornado for continuous damage, she would protect Yuhi Kurenai while she dealt damage.

"Tch." Tayuya curled her lip in disdain when she saw Mitarashi Anko transform into the second stage. Kidomaru stood beside Tayuya as her bodyguard.

Tayuya bit her finger and slapped it on the ground.

"Psychic art!"

"Wrathful Demon!"

Three enormous summoning beasts, each about ten meters tall, appeared. They looked like humans but were actually Orochimaru's experimental subjects.

Tayuya took out a ninja flute and confidently declared, "Sink into my death melody!"

The flute began to play music, and the three monsters named Angry Demon disappeared. Standing next to Tayuya, Kidomaru said with a smile, "No one can survive Tayuya's music."

“Then I’ll be the first.” Red Bean raised her right hand.

boom! ! !

The powerful force made Hongdou squat slightly, and the next second, the monstrous fist struck the angry demon in the abdomen, instantly rendering the demon unable to fight.

"What! It actually blocked the full force of the Angry Demon's attack?!" Tayuya knew very well the strength of the Angry Demon; the weight of wielding such a huge weapon was not something an ordinary ninja could withstand.

"Could it be that you are also a 'perfect' inheritor of the cursed seal?!"

Tayuya became jealous, the demon canceled its summoning, its skin began to darken, and white horns began to grow on its head.

“A perfect successor? How laughable.” Mitarashi Anko put her hands on her hips and looked at Tayuya. “If I could, I would like to return this power to him.”

The girl's face contorted in a ferocious expression at that moment.

"On the condition that I kill Orochimaru first."

"Damn it! How dare you insult Lord Orochimaru! This is absolutely unforgivable!" Tayuya gripped her flute, "Magic Flute: Magic Sound Lock!"

"Don't even think about it! Fire Release: Flame Bullet!" Mitarashi Anko unleashed a massive burst of flames.

Seeing the flames approaching, Kidomaru had a headache and grabbed Tayuya to avoid the large area of ​​flames.

White Zetsu, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but say, "A duel of perfect curse marks~ It seems that Red Bean has won."

Black Zetsu muttered from the side, "I remember that Orochimaru subordinate, the one who looked like a spider, used some kind of spider silk-based ninjutsu..."

White Zetsu clicked his tongue: "Wouldn't that mean being countered by Fire Release techniques?"

Tread-tap-

"Why aren't you going to fight? Don't you want to pass the assessment?"

Black and White were stunned for a moment before looking up and realizing it was Navy Captain Smoker.

Black Zetsu smiled and said, "We are not combat members, but we are very good at reconnaissance."

“It seems you can burrow underground.” Smoker took out his weapon and puffed on a cigar.

He saw that the fire tornado was still burning, and Obito Uchiha, who had just used the pedal, might die. He looked at Kurenai Yuhi behind Anko Mitarashi, and his arm began to turn into smoke.

"White Fist"

Black Zetsu's eyes widened slightly: "Another Logia-type Devil Fruit user? And only a colonel?"

White Zetsu: "It seems that Konoha's Kurenai Yuhi has met her match."

......

Just as the smoky fist was about to strike Kurenai in mid-air, Anko slammed it away. However, the fist turned into smoke, and the extending white smoke became the path for Smoker's acceleration.

"The Justice Pirates!"

"Tch, Navy people?" Mitarashi Anko then noticed that many Navy personnel had disembarked from the warship and were on their way.

Amidst the sea of ​​fire, Obito Uchiha remained calmly in the alternate dimension, fully aware of the situation outside.

"Itachi, you bastard! You could have used Susanoo to go out and defeat Kurenai, but you deliberately left me to die in this dimension?! Did you think I'd let you have your way?!"

Originally formless and uncontrollable flames, under Kurenai Yuhi's control, seemed to come alive, enhancing her control. Combined with the suppressive power of Wind Release, they tightly restrained Susanoo's movements.
