146: Chapter 146 Serpent Shadow DanceOrochimaru's figure crashed down from the sky like a cannonball, cracking the stone slabs beneath his feet, and dust spreading in a ring around him.
He slowly straightened up, scanning the growing number of onlookers around him, who couldn't help but back away.
"Monster.monster!"
"What are you afraid of!He's all alone!Surround him!Avenge our fallen comrades!"
A squad leader of the secret service suppressed his heart palpitations and shouted loudly.
In an instant, kunai, shuriken, senbon.countless ninja tools rained down on Orochimaru from all directions!
Following closely behind were ninjutsu of various attributes: water dragons, wind blades, water release techniques, all in a dazzling array of colors, weaving together a curtain of ninjutsu light that completely engulfed the spot where Orochimaru was standing!
Boom boom boom boom!
Violent explosions continued one after another, and sandstorms swept across the sky.
"Did it work?" someone in the crowd asked nervously.
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
Orochimaru stood firmly in place.
A layer of pale white bone armor appeared around his body, without even leaving any obvious scratches.
Is that all there is to it?
Orochimaru gave a sinister smile."How.boring."
He clasped his hands together and whispered, "Ninja Technique!"
"The Formation of Ten Thousand Serpents!"
The ground suddenly bulged up, and countless slimy snakes burst out of the soil.They flicked their tongues, their bodies writhing, and surged towards the surrounding ninjas like waves!Wherever the snakes passed, people and horses fell, and screams rose and fell.
The elites of the Anbu and the Aota family were well-trained, and after the initial panic, they immediately organized a counterattack.
The large swarm of snakes was quickly cleared, but there were simply too many of them.
Everyone displayed their unique abilities, engaging in a fierce battle with the enormous swarm of snakes.
While everyone was busy dealing with the swarm of snakes, Orochimaru had already slipped in!
He stopped using ninjutsu and fought purely with physical strength!
His movements were as fast as lightning, yet carried an eerie elegance.
The dodge was perfectly timed, and the attack was precise and ruthless!
"Pfft!"
A bone spur protruded from the outside of his arm, easily slicing open the throat of a member of the secret service.
With a backhand elbow strike, the protruding sharp bone of his elbow dented the sternum of the attacker from behind.
"Bang!"
With a high sweeping kick, the bone blade extending from the toe sent a Qingtian clan ninja flying, sword and all.
Bone spurs flew everywhere, and blood gushed out!
He moved through the crowd like a dancer of death, and wherever he went, the Hidden Mist's ANBU and the Aota clan's ninjas were sent flying like felled wheat!
"Damn it!Fight him!"
The surviving ninjas' eyes turned red.They abandoned their defenses and desperately channeled their chakra!
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
All the remaining ninjas unleashed their strongest ninjutsu simultaneously from different directions!
Several water dragons and whirlwinds intertwined and slammed towards Orochimaru in the center from all directions!
This attack combined everyone's strength, making it far more powerful than before!
Faced with this combined ninjutsu that could level a small mountain, Orochimaru finally became serious.
He stood still, raising his arms slightly.
"Let me show you.true power."
He spread his arms to his sides, palms facing up, fingers hooked!
"Immortal Technique, Bone Spikes on Evil Walls"
"Snap!Snap!Snap!"
The sickening cracking sound of bones popping was like popping beans, emanating from all his joints!
Elbows, shoulder blades, knees, and even the spine.dense, menacing bone spurs, like living creatures, pierce through skin and clothing, extending and growing wildly outward!
Each bone spur gleamed with a deadly cold light.
At the same time, the eerie blue, flame-like sage chakra, like a viscous liquid with life, quickly wrapped around each newly grown bone spur, turning it into an eerie blue color!
Orochimaru used his waist and abdomen to generate power, and his body suddenly began to rotate at high speed, using his right foot as the axis!
A death tornado, extending from countless bone spikes, takes shape at lightning speed!
This white bone tornado was not stationary, but was expanding and spreading outward at an astonishing speed!
The roaring ninjutsu began to shatter upon contact with the rapidly spinning, azure storm filled with sharp bone spikes!It couldn't penetrate even a fraction of its power!
"Puff puff puff!"
It was like a combination of absolute defense and extended attack, easily dismantling all incoming ninjutsu, and with its terrifying expansion speed, it mercilessly crushed the surrounding ninjas with faces full of despair!
The cries were drowned out by the horrific sound of being crushed.
The swirling storm of bone spurs was like a giant millstone covered in sharp knives, leaving only a trail of blood mist in its wake.
In just a few breaths, the whirlwind subsided.
Orochimaru's figure reformed, and beneath his feet lay a blood-soaked battlefield of carnage.Apart from him and the Salamander and Chojuro, who had escaped by chance and were covered in blood, no one else stood.
Chojuro used his flounder to support himself, swaying precariously, while supporting his salamander with his other hand.The two looked at Orochimaru, who seemed like a demon god descending to earth, their eyes filled with fear.
"Walk!"
Chojuro let out a low growl, and with his last bit of strength, he pulled up the nearly unconscious Sanshoku, and staggered away, taking advantage of the still lingering dust.
Orochimaru coldly watched the direction the two fled, then stuck out his tongue and licked the blood that had splattered on the corner of his mouth.
"Sasuke-kun, let's go."
"We should go somewhere else."
On the other side, Sasuke and Jugo, carrying the Kusanagi sword, slowly walked out.
Sasuke frowned as he looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, but ultimately said nothing.
The three figures quickly disappeared into the darkness.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, in Naruto's room.
The urgent knocking startled the two people who were embracing each other.
Mei Terumi groggily lifted her head from Naruto's arms, her face still flushed.
"Guild Master!Urgent report from Kirigakure!"
A lark's urgent voice came from behind.
Naruto immediately snapped out of it and took a picture of Mei Mei's back.
Mei Terumi quickly got up and dressed in her signature outfit.She wore a cheongsam, and her face regained its cold elegance.
She took the intelligence scroll handed to her by Yun Que, quickly scanned it, and her face grew paler and paler.
"Orochimaru.he."
"Chojuro is seriously injured, the Salamander's fate is unknown, and our men.have suffered heavy casualties.Orochimaru and his accomplices have already left Kirigakure!I must return immediately!"
Naruto frowned, pondered for a moment, and then called out, "Iron Boat."
A moment later, Tie Zhou rushed over and bowed slightly, "President."
"You will lead a team of skilled fighters to accompany Mei Terumi to Kirigakure, reunite the old guard, stabilize the situation, and ensure her safety."
"Yes!" Tie Zhou replied without any further words.
Mei Terumi glanced at Naruto with gentle eyes, knowing that now was not the time for sentimentality.
Without further delay, they left in a hurry.
Meanwhile, almost all the high-ranking officials in other ninja villages were also unable to sleep because of the two pieces of information.
One document, sent by Kirigakure last night, contained data about Orochimaru's true identity, forbidden experiments, and the brief but terrifying battle.
The other document, leaked from within the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce, concerns the establishment plan for the "Apocalypse Academy".
Konoha, Hokage Building conference room.
"We can't let this continue!"
An elder's face turned ashen."This Naruto Uzumaki is utterly despicable!He's more dangerous than the Akatsuki!"
"That's right!And the so-called Apocalypse Academy is clearly trying to undermine the very foundation of our ninja village's existence!"
Another elder chimed in, "We must unite with other villages and resolutely strike!We must stop the academy from being established!"
Acting Hokage Kakashi rested his head on his hand, feeling utterly overwhelmed.
Gaara, in Sunagakure, stared silently at the endless yellow sand outside.
