My ninjutsu is not right

Chapter 74 Trust
"It's such a touching friendship."

Orochimaru couldn't help but laugh as he watched Nara Yuito and the two Genin rush towards him after Link dived underground.

It feels quite funny that the enemy doesn't even run away but tries to fight back.

As he smiled, some complicated emotions welled up in his heart. Even though he hadn't been back for many years, was Konoha Village still the same as it is now?

But now, he will not be shaken by the village or the ties he once had.

"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh!"

Clone Technique, Shuriken, Kunai...

Iris ran in the front and attacked first. After throwing the ninja tools in a very simple and unpretentious manner, she wasted a lot of chakra and released seven or eight clones (illusions). The original body and the clones were intertwined, and it seemed that the purpose was to confuse the vision.

Orochimaru dodged the shuriken and kunai by turning sideways without changing his expression, but his speed was too slow.

[However, it seems a bit childish—] He looked at Xia, who was hiding in the clone with half of her face exposed, and took a deep breath.

"call!"

A huge fireball was blown out, and at the same time, Iris was also forming a seal, opening her mouth and spitting out a seal that was exactly the same as Orochimaru's just now -

Fire Style: Great Fireball followed by Wind Style: Great Breakthrough. Even if it was just two Genins who had developed a tacit understanding through long-term training and missions together, they could coordinate to create a fire attack that looked decent and was extremely fast.

Orochimaru was about to form a seal when he suddenly found his body stiff and unable to move.

[Using the shadow of the fireball to capture my shadow?] He looked at the fireball that was so close to him, and he even had the mood to look sideways at Nara Yuito who was standing there with a seal to restrain him.

"boom!"

The shadow clone exploded.

"Boom!" The wind fanned the flames, and the huge fireball, enhanced by the great breakthrough, burned the tree trunk under Orochimaru's feet and caused it to explode.

The broken planks have not yet fallen to the ground—

"As expected, I should deal with you first..." Orochimaru's voice has appeared in his ears. Nara Yui felt a chill in his chest. The Kusanagi sword had silently and easily pierced through his body activated by chakra, as if inserting tofu.

[Well, we've caught you too... Without this sword... it's up to you, Link! ]

Nara Yushio slightly changed the seal in his hand, and the shadow seam technique that he had prepared long ago suddenly transformed from under his feet, turning into a physical form and tightly wrapping around the Kusanagi sword.

"Crack!"

The soil on the ground suddenly exploded, and Link grabbed at Orochimaru's legs, using the earth diving technique to imitate the original mental beheading technique.

However, it was obvious that the intentions of the teacher and the student were seen clearly. After stabbing the person, Orochimaru let go to avoid the entanglement of the Shadow Seam Technique and jumped up gracefully. The time he jumped up was almost synchronized with the time when the ground was broken.

"Whoosh!"

Xia was the most sensitive. After spitting out the fireball, she did not catch the enemy's movement trajectory, so she looked directly at Yanshui teacher, who posed the greatest threat to the enemy. When she saw that Yanshui teacher's chest was pierced, she almost without thinking predicted and threw three shurikens into the air above.

[Good cooperation...]

Orochimaru curled the corners of his mouth slightly. This was not because of a good plan, but because it proved that these four people were qualified in tactics and had very good tacit understanding.

In fact, in this battle, what impressed him the most was not the target Link, but the two Genin, who were able to solve his illusions, had strong physical and mental qualities, were relatively clear-headed, and were loyal enough... [The psychological quality that supported Iris and Kasumi was actually their personal worship of Link]. Apart from not having the talent and the most important bloodline, they had a very good foundation and had reached the level of an average Chunin at a young age.

Just by looking at them, he couldn't help but want to take these two people back and give each of them a curse. If they could survive, they might become excellent materials.

"Sha!" The shadow under Orochimaru twisted and moved again.

He glanced at it out of the corner of his eye. [Another 'shadow'?]

It's not that he looks down on his shadow. Not being able to release ninjutsu is definitely a huge weakening for him. Even if he inherits his physical skills level, the shadow will definitely not be able to hold out for long in his hands.

"Swoosh!" Link jumped into the air and aimed at Orochimaru, throwing out his palm that was shining with the Five Elements Seal.

Although his speed in throwing ninja tools was much faster than Kasumi's, the shape of his palms was not suitable for throwing, so the speed he could reach was limited.

Even in mid-air, Orochimaru was still able to use his soft body transformation to temporarily transform and dodge, however——

Orochimaru's shadow just jumped up and grabbed the hand, and moved almost synchronously with his real body. The speed and strange physical skills he displayed were so fast that the two Genin could not see clearly. The Jonin was already holding the Kusanagi sword tightly and fell into a semi-comatose state.

Only Link could see a little more clearly. He stared at Orochimaru, who was at a disadvantage in the fight because he had lost the initiative and was floating in the air for the first moment. The shadow used his palm as the Kusanagi sword to attack continuously. In a flash, the fingers left a mark on the arm of the original body.

【Successful...】

He felt relieved, but his exhausted chakra could no longer maintain the transformation mode, and with a bang, he turned back into his small form.

In order to put his palm on the real body, Shadow was kicked away by Orochimaru. As for the real body, his face became gloomy for the first time. He was pressed on by the strange sealing technique that the other party had high hopes of being effective on him. The uneasiness came from the heart.

[It's time to end it!] He decided not to hold back and end the fight seriously, his hands quickly clenched -

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

As he tried to form a seal, Orochimaru screamed.

Of the ten fingers on his chest, the two thumbs were turned into metal, the two index fingers turned into wood, the skin of the two middle fingers was wrinkled and wrapped around the phalanges, the two ring fingers turned into charcoal, and the cracks of the two little fingers were filled with dust.

The arms caught by the Five Elements Seal began to glow with light, and wisps of colored particles in the air poured into the wrists of both hands, eventually spreading to the palms and backs of the hands, transforming into five different color patterns that completely covered them, and then disappeared into thin air.

The so-called [Five Elements Seal] is to use the five elements to seal your ability to form seals...

Link panted and stuffed another ration pill into his mouth. As long as he tried to seal his fingers, he would be damaged by the five elements. Even if he was healed, it would be useless.

There is no time limit for the seal, and only he can remove it. He possesses the [Five Elements Seal-Removing Technique] that no one else in the world can remove.

This is also the trump card that he believes gives him and his group a chance to defeat Orochimaru.

When facing a ninjutsu-type ninja, as long as he is given the opportunity, he can successfully seal the Five Elements. Losing the ability to seal is a great weakening for most ninjas.

What's more, if the opponent tries to form a seal without knowing it, not only will he be unable to do so, but he will also lose both hands directly under the influence of the five elements.

He looked at Orochimaru, who had a horrified expression on his face, and showed a happy expression.

[I can't help it, it's because my ninjutsu is not right! ]
