However, this guy Orochimaru ran quite fast.
They saw that the headless corpse suddenly changed, turning into a puddle of mud, it was Orochimaru's Earth Release Clone.
Fortunately, Natsuki immediately located Orochimaru again, his eyes full of killing intent were extremely cold, almost as if he wanted to slowly execute Orochimaru from a distance.
Orochimaru laughed sinisterly: "Natsuki, you came quite timely! If you were one second later, you probably would have had to collect your girlfriend's corpse!"
Natsuki was now furious, but did not lose his composure, he clapped his hands together, and immediately Summoned Demon Blade Thousand Blades from his left hand, he didn't rush to attack, but instead looked back at Tenten.
Tenten's eyes were filled with joy: "Natsuki, you're finally here! Don't worry, I'm fine, Neji and Xiao Li have been protecting me!"
Xiao Li raised a difficult thumbs-up: "Natsuki, I've fulfilled my promise to you, right?"
Although it was Neji's first time, he also raised a thumbs-up: "Tenten is not injured, you can rest assured!"
"Okay, thank you!"
Natsuki sincerely thanked them, "Leave the rest to me, Tenten take them back a bit first, don't get caught in the battle."
Tenten didn't dare to delay, she quickly helped Xiao Li and Neji up and retreated backward.
Natsuki looked at Orochimaru again, his tone extremely cold: "Orochimaru, have you thought about your last words?"
Orochimaru was laughing: "Are you that confident you can kill me?"
Natsuki nodded: "Tenten and the others won't leave me to fight alone and retreat by themselves, so I must defeat you. Just right, today I will go all out, use all my abilities, and let you, who was once One of the Sannin, open your eyes!"
"Then come on!"
Orochimaru said, but instead actively rushed forward.
Natsuki flashed with Lightning Flash, instantly arriving at Orochimaru's side, the cracked blade in his hand quickly slashed, heading straight for Orochimaru's head.
Orochimaru had suffered a loss before, so he didn't use the kusanagi sword to block, but twisted his body to dodge, counterattacking with a Hidden Shadow Snake Hands, but Natsuki cut off all the snake heads with a backhand slash.
The two began to exchange blows, for a time swords clashed, but more often Demon Blade Thousand Blades ignored blocks, and its length was adjustable, splitting and combining at will, under the flexible control of Chakra, combined with Hatake Swordmanship, for a time it actually gained the upper hand.
"Scatter!"
Natsuki shook his hand, and the blade of Demon Blade Thousand Blades completely shattered.
Thousands of fragments enveloped Orochimaru, instantly turning this snake into a porcupine, then he transmitted Chakra to the hilt, and instantly gathered the thousands of fragments back, re-condensing into the cracked blade.
The few people behind were dumbfounded, clearly dazzled by this fighting method of Demon Blade Thousand Blades.
Sasuke even had a hint of envy in his eyes: "Demon Blade Thousand Blades, what a good sword!"
Tenten looked proud: "This is a sword Natsuki designed himself, it almost made the master craftsman bald to forge it. If our family wasn't rich, we wouldn't dare to forge a sword like this!"
It's about money again! As expected, money is really important!
Sasuke silently kept it in mind, he didn't seem to have much money either, not even enough to buy ten thousand Exploding Tags.
Since the Uchiha clan was wiped out, the clan's assets seemed to have disappeared, it was said that Itachi Uchiha took them, and it also seemed that Konoha's higher-ups took over, but Sasuke was focused on revenge and hadn't paid attention to it, now that he thought about it, he seemed too naive back then.
That was the Uchiha clan's property, how could he not take it seriously?
Otherwise, he wouldn't be broke now!
Over here, Orochimaru used the Orochimaru-style Body Replacement Technique again, drilling out of his own mouth.
His face was solemn, and he immediately began to form hand signs: "You are not easy to deal with, I still need to find a helper. Summoning Technique!"
Bang! A giant purple snake appeared, only to hear it speak in human language: "Orochimaru, you're troubling me again, this time it won't do without a hundred people as food!"
Orochimaru stood on the giant snake's head and laughed: "These are minor matters. Manda, help me deal with this person first!"
Manda! This guy even called out Manda!
Natsuki's expression remained unchanged, he quickly formed hand signs with his left hand, and the next second he raised his palm above his head, only to see a water disk with a diameter of two meters condensed in his palm, the water disk was spinning wildly, and he could even hear a hissing sound, as if it was going to cut through the atmosphere.
Seeing Manda open its huge mouth to bite over, Natsuki directly threw out the spinning water disk.
"Water Release: Water Blade!"
Swoosh! The Water Blade instantly cut through the air, landing on Manda's head.
The next second, as if hearing the sound of scissors slicing through fabric, the Water Blade instantly cut from the snake's head to its tail, cleaving Manda in half on the spot!
Manda died on the spot!
Poor, yet deserving, Manda. In the original story, he was used by Sasuke to block an explosion and died. Now, his fate was even more tragic: Natsuki's Water Blade technique sliced him into two halves, like spicy jerky, without even a chance to return to Ryuchi Cave!
Boom! The giant snake's two halves crashed onto the ground...
Orochimaru quickly leaped to the ground, his expression incredibly grim for the first time.
"Heh heh, it seems I underestimated you. You've already mastered the fusion of Chakra Mode Transformation and Nature Transformation. This Water Blade technique could probably even cut through a mountain!"
The few people behind him were even more shocked; even Tenten seemed unaware.
What was Chakra Mode Transformation? What was Nature Transformation? Clearly, they didn't understand yet.
But they understood one thing: Natsuki's Water Blade technique was truly powerful. That terrifying purple giant snake was instantly sliced, and it even stunned Orochimaru.
Natsuki is truly amazing!
Natsuki chuckled, "If I don't show some real skill, how can I protect my future wife? Orochimaru, today you will die!"
With that, he charged forward again.
Orochimaru didn't want to continue with swordplay. He quickly formed hand signs with his kusanagi sword stuck beside him: "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Bang! A fierce wind erupted from the snake's mouth, attempting to blow Natsuki away, but Natsuki easily dodged using Lightning Flash, even appearing right in front of Orochimaru.
Orochimaru immediately used Hidden Shadow Snake Hands, a snake bursting from his chest to try and bind Natsuki, but its body was shredded by the Lightning Blade, forcing Orochimaru himself to retreat.
"Hidden Shadow Many Snake Hands!"
"Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique!"
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
1.4 I have to say, Orochimaru knows a lot of Ninjutsu, and his techniques are significantly more powerful than others'. An ordinary person probably wouldn't have been able to withstand them long ago.
But clearly, Natsuki was no ordinary person.
Facing such dense attacks, he continuously dodged with Lightning Flash, without taking any damage.
Moreover, he even found time to form hand signs with one hand, unleashing Earth Release: Soaring Spinning Great Top. The next second, a giant spinning top condensed from the ground and flew up, then slammed down onto Orochimaru, instantly drilling a large hole in the ground. Its power was terrifying.
But Orochimaru dodged it and seized the opportunity to extend his kusanagi sword for a sneak attack, only for Natsuki to knock the blade aside.
The two exchanged blows, an overwhelming display.
For a time, they fought to a standstill, but anyone who could see clearly understood that Orochimaru was clearly being suppressed by Natsuki!.
