In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 35 Orochimaru's Panic-Stricken Escape (Please Read On)

"Soluble escape and boiling escape?"

"Two bloodline vessels, Kirigakure is truly a treasure trove."

A strangely handsome man with eyes like those of a snake gazed at the distant Mist Shadow Camp, his eyes filled with covetousness and fanaticism.

I don't know if I should thank you, Minato Namikaze, for creating such a perfect opportunity for me.

"It's just a pity."

Orochimaru's eyes shifted slightly, focusing on the information Hyuga Hizashi had gathered through his Byakugan. A hint of regret mixed with excitement flickered in his snake-like pupils.

"We arrived a bit late, and that guy Naoki Kaguya managed to slip away by boat."

Otherwise, one could obtain two sets of materials at the same time.

"As for now."

Orochimaru suppressed his fanaticism and regained his repulsive, serpentine aura.

"Fighting by parroting others' ideas is so boring."

"You, attack! Take down this stronghold!"

"Yes."

Unlike Orochimaru, the Konoha ninja behind him were not relaxed. After receiving the order, they fell from the trees like leaves and rushed quickly toward the stronghold that Kirigakure had just captured.

With no intention of concealing themselves, they were naturally exposed to the sight of many Hidden Mist ninja.

"The Hyuga clan!"

"There's no need to use the Mist Concealment Technique anymore!"

As the vanguard of defense, the Hidden Mist ninjas, while fearlessly drawing out kunai for defense, also shouted loudly to warn their comrades.

The Hidden Mist Technique is useless against the Hyuga clan; on the contrary, it will become a shackle that imprisons the Hidden Mist ninja.

"And Orochimaru too!"

puff!

The long knife pierced his body.

Ignoring the long sword embedded in his body, the Hidden Mist ninja struggled to send the intelligence back to the rear camp, looking at the gray hair and scarlet eyes.

"And Kakashi Hatake!"

As the voice faded, the man's body hung limply over the blade. Countless Konoha ninjas passed by the corpse and rushed towards the Hidden Mist camp.

Boil Release: Skillful Mist Technique!

Mei Terumi looked at the densely packed army of ninjas outside the door, her expression solemn and resolute. She gathered all her chakra and exhaled a large amount of white mist created by Boil Release.

"Ahhhh!"

"My eyes."

From within the white mist, heart-wrenching cries of agony suddenly rang out!
While the other Hidden Mist ninjas were still beaming with joy at such a victory...

Mei Terumi frowned, her expression bitter.

That's too much of a stretch!

Even with Boil Release, which nearly exhausted all of its chakra, it didn't achieve much.

Mei Terumi clenched her fist.

With the Byakugan, upon sensing the Boil Release chakra, it immediately halted most of the Konoha army, thus saving a significant amount of manpower.

If not, it could at least render half of the people incapable of fighting.
We're going to lose.

Mei Terumi smiled wryly, her mind involuntarily drawn to the ice bridge.

Since victory is impossible, at least we should keep them occupied.

Mei Terumi raised her head, her eyes flashing with determination.

We must, we must, hold these people back so that the Mist Village army can return.

must!

Naoki will kill you all.

"kill."

From the thinning white mist, bloodthirsty and cruel Konoha ninjas burst forth, rushing towards the Hidden Mist ninjas.

The clanging of kunai followed, and a series of ninjutsu clashes ensued.

Mei Terumi's opponent is Orochimaru.

Just as Terumi Mei was gathering her chakra, intending to use Lava Release to kill all the arrogant Konoha ninjas in front of her, a snake-like figure silently appeared behind her.

"not good!"

When that chilling aura reached Mei Terumi's vicinity, she became aware of it and expelled all of her Lava Release techniques while retreating rapidly!

Turning around, she saw countless enormous venomous snakes flying out of Orochimaru's sleeves.
Some venomous snakes even grazed her hair, dissolving the roots and leaving her dark, shiny hair.

Terumi Mei breathed a sigh of relief at her narrow escape, while staring intently at the acidic solution she had just spat out.

You absolutely must hurt him!
Zizizi!
Under the cover of the Lava Release technique, all the giant snakes that were about to attack Mei Terumi were instantly turned into liquid.

As the solution was finished, Orochimaru, still smiling and sticking out his unusually long tongue, appeared in Mei Terumi's disappointed eyes.

He chuckled coldly, his eyes scanning Terumi Mei up and down.

"The Lava Release Bloodline is truly powerful."

"Boiling escape and melting escape, do they both have a corrosive effect?"

"If it falls into my hands."

Orochimaru revealed a sinister smile.

It's best not to talk about those kinds of experiments that are unacceptable to Konoha in public.

"Don't underestimate me, Orochimaru!"

Mei Terumi, who felt a significant gap in skill after just one exchange, did not give up. Holding a kunai, she seemed ready to engage Orochimaru in close combat, but suddenly stopped.

Lava Release: Lava Monster Technique!
This acidic solution, which had been brewing for a long time and covered a larger area than before, was spewed out from its mouth, turning the entire stone-cast city wall into ash water and pouring it onto the ground!

This attack, enough to drive countless ninjas to despair and destroy terrain, was easily evaded by Orochimaru.

The spell failed. Feeling her nearly depleted chakra, Mei Terumi gave a bitter smile.

The defeat was too complete.

So, what about the others?
Mei Terumi's attention wandered slightly.
Shouts and screams from all directions immediately reached Mei Terumi's ears.

"Die!"

"Kill him quickly!"

"Hang in there!"

Even with tactics in place, is it impossible to even just hold off this Konoha team?

Terumi Mei felt sad.

Yes.

With Kakashi, Orochimaru, and many of the Hyuga branch family's elite Konoha troops, how could their ordinary Kirigakure force possibly withstand them?
but.

Naoki is still around.

We have to hold it off.

So keep working hard!

Mei Terumi raised her kunai and charged towards Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.

Ah!
Orochimaru licked his lips, which were splattered with blood.

This scene is so familiar.

The dignified and upright old man had no shortage of men like him who would give everything for the village.

It's truly disgusting.

"Master Orochimaru!"

Hyuga Hizashi stood in front of Orochimaru and fought fiercely with Terumi Mei for several rounds, but the latter was easily defeated because she was still young and weak.

"It's the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and Kaguya Naoki."

Orochimaru's eyes showed not surprise but delight, revealing a hint of excitement.

"Is it."

"It seems they used their only ships to transport some of the strongest vessels."

"However, the difference in quality cannot be made up for by quantity."

Orochimaru chuckled, a hint of cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"Although it's faster than expected, since they're here, let's leave a few of them here."

"Do not."

Hyuga Hizashi barely managed to maintain the Hyuga clan's authority, but cold sweat couldn't help but instantly slide down his forehead.

"Lord Orochimaru."

"Not far away, a steady stream of Kirigakure ninjas are pouring in."

Hyuga Hizashi gritted his teeth and forced himself to speak.

"They should be the main force."

"Lord Minato's intelligence must be wrong. The main force of Kirigakure has still been transported here."

Orochimaru stopped, a thoughtful look appearing in his snake-shaped pupils, before opening his hoarse voice.

"Then let's retreat, let's retreat before they arrive."

"Organize the troops and follow me."

Before he could finish speaking, a hearty laugh came from high above.

"Orochimaru, would you like to stay as a guest?"

Orochimaru raised his head and looked at the figure hidden in the ice mirror high in the sky. Finally, a hint of exasperation appeared in his heart, and he spoke through gritted teeth, a rare occurrence for him.

"That brat, Kaguya Naoki."

He suppressed his somewhat irritable tone and spoke to Hyuga Hizashi.

"Today, it seems really dangerous."

"No need to gather. Everyone, run away."

Having said that, Orochimaru bit his finger, slammed it onto the ground, and said coldly:
"Come out, Manda, I have prepared a lot of good things for you."

boom!
Amidst the billowing white mist, the chilling yet excited voice of the myriad snakes echoed across the entire battlefield.

"Orochimaru, do you have so many sacrifices?"

"Such chakra and flesh are truly exciting!"

As the smoke cleared, a gigantic serpent appeared on the battlefield. Just as it was searching for prey with its serpentine pupils, a soft murmur rang out from above its head.

Corpse Bone Vein: Dance of the Iron Wire Flower

A massive, highly hardened bone spear extended from the sky, piercing straight through the giant head of the myriad serpents and embedding itself into their scales.

The hunter becomes the prey in the blink of an eye.

"How come you're in the sky, you damn bastard?"

"what!"

Amidst its agonizing roars, Manda tried desperately to tear down the skeletal figure wielding its wings in the air, but Manda, who always bullied the weak, had no experience dealing with aerial enemies.

"Orochimaru!"

"You bastard!"

I will definitely kill you!

The massive skeleton pierced through his body and was pinned to the ground, not only immobilizing the serpent but also forcing it to endure excruciating pain.

Using the body of the giant snake as cover, Orochimaru, who had already silently glided hundreds of meters away, heard the roar and his expression was not too good either.

A big problem arose today: my roommate and his girlfriend had a fight. I wrote 3,000 words in four hours, and it's a crucial Tuesday. Please read on! Thank you all!
