Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 175 The Crying Cry Makes a Difference

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough"

A fierce wind, carrying tiny blades of wind, swept through the forest, forcing Tachibana Kanagawa and Kisame Hoshigaki to stop and temporarily hide behind a large tree to avoid the attack.

Seeing this kind of minor natural disaster-level ninjutsu being released so casually, Tachibana Kanagawa didn't know how to comment.

An all-around powerhouse like Orochimaru might not seem as violent and direct as Might Guy in a direct, intuitive sense.

But it is far more difficult to deal with than many others.

Tachibana Kanagawa felt that if Orochimaru hadn't still intended to capture the two of them alive, he and Kisame probably wouldn't have been able to escape for so long.

After emerging from the water, the opponent unleashed a series of elemental ninjutsu.

The high frequency and variety of techniques truly gave the two a deeper understanding of the diversity of ninjutsu.

However, this diversity isn't so wonderful when it happens to oneself.

Fortunately.

Perhaps because Orochimaru gave some kind of order, no other Konoha ninjas came to interfere during their pursuit.

Even though you can sometimes hear the sounds of fierce fighting not far away, it all seems to have nothing to do with this place.

Tachibana Kanagawa and Kisame Hoshigaki only ever had to deal with Orochimaru.

"Be careful!"

Three giant pythons, far larger than the previous ones, emerged from the ground, intertwined and entwined.

It opened its blood-red maw and bit at Jianchuan Ju and his companion.

But that wasn't all. Out of the corner of her eye, Tachibana Kanagawa noticed that Orochimaru, who was chasing after them, was rapidly forming hand seals again.

"Kisame, it's all yours now."

Ignoring the snake's mouth that was right in front of him, Tachibana Kenkawa flapped his wings and flew directly towards Orochimaru.

Before the giant snake could close its mouth, it swallowed the tangerine whole.

A chakra warhammer emitting a blue glow struck the giant snake's head with a bang, sending it flying backward.

As he approached Orochimaru, Tachibana Kenkawa threw several shuriken in quick succession, while simultaneously spitting out two rapidly flying wind cones, attempting to disrupt Orochimaru's hand seals.

However, Orochimaru's hands kept moving, and his body twisted strangely. After dodging the two wind cones, he even kicked away all the shuriken that could have hit him.

Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet

Flames generated by chakra suddenly burst from Orochimaru's mouth, instantly transforming into three ferocious fire dragons that danced wildly and attacked Tachibana Kenkawa.

However, a reassuring blue figure leaped out from behind Jianchuan Ju, holding a huge spiral water ball high in its hand.

Just as Tachibana Kenkawa flew toward Orochimaru, he wrapped his tongue around Orochimaru's ankle and was brought along with him.

Seeing his master in danger, Lan Zai, who was originally planning to hide and launch a sneak attack, jumped forward and slammed the huge water ball in his hand onto the raging flames.

The hissing white steam kept rising, perfectly blocking all the fire damage.

Seeing this familiar scene, Tachibana Kanakawa had no time to feel sentimental.

He pressed down on the divine spear in his hand, aiming at Orochimaru behind the flames.

"Shoot him! Sharpshooter!"

An unprecedented amount of chakra was poured into the hilt of the sword, and the light blade on the divine spear shot out at an incredible speed as if it had been electrocuted, passing through the water sphere and flames, and piercing straight into Orochimaru's body.

"Pfft~"

The sound of metal piercing flesh rang out.

Jianchuan Ju subconsciously waved her hand, but a "ding" sound rang out, and then the wind blade light sword quickly shattered, turning into specks of white light.

"Um?"

"What happened? Did you cut into the Kusanagi sword inside Orochimaru's stomach?!"

It wasn't surprising that the attack failed, but the wind blades of the divine spear were as hard as steel.

What exactly did it hit? It shattered on its own.

The answer was revealed the next moment.

The Orochimaru who had just been stabbed opened his mouth, and a brand new Orochimaru, wielding the Kusanagi sword, emerged from his original body.

"Te~te~"

Tachibana Kanagawa isn't the kind of guy who quietly waits for the enemy to complete their transformation.

Two gusts of wind shot rapidly toward Orochimaru, who was using the "Orochimaru Substitution Technique".

"Ding—ding—" Two sounds.

Orochimaru's movements, which had appeared slow, suddenly accelerated, and his Kusanagi sword easily dispersed the wind cones.

Orochimaru, who had returned to the tree branch, did not linger and instantly appeared in front of Tachibana.

With a series of swings of his longsword, he forced Jianchuan Ju and Lanzi to work together and barely manage to parry.

However, the divine spear in Tachibana Kenkawa's hand was of excellent quality and would not be directly cut by the sharp Kusanagi sword.

However, the chakra light blade that Lanzi condensed using the "Iaijutsu" technique was repeatedly shattered by Orochimaru.

If it weren't for the perfect teamwork between the two, Orochimaru might have defeated them in just a few moves.

Even so, the sharp Kusanagi sword still left several wounds on the man and the frog.

"Damn! His swordsmanship is that strong too!"

As Tachibana Kenkawa gradually fell into a disadvantageous position in close combat, Orochimaru seized the opportunity and delivered a swift upward slash. The force was so great that Tachibana Kenkawa lost his grip on his short sword and was sent flying.

The short sword spun rapidly in the air.

The Kusanagi sword slashed towards Tachibana Kanagawa's shoulder.

The incredibly sharp blade offered no resistance and easily severed Kenkawa Tachibana's entire arm.

In a moment of crisis, Lan Zai appeared in mid-air and delivered a flying kick that struck the hilt of the knife.

The dagger shot down at lightning speed, aimed directly at Orochimaru's face, forcing him back.

Seeing her opponent retreat and dodge, Tachibana Kanagawa didn't care about her flying arm.

Despite the pain, he quickly crouched down, slid across, and grabbed the short knife that was about to be inserted into the tree trunk with his left hand.

"Swallow Returns!"

A bluish-green blade of light suddenly appeared and slashed forward rapidly.

The extended chakra blade instantly severed Orochimaru in half at the waist.

However, Tachibana Kanagawa's actions also placed him in Orochimaru's presence.

Orochimaru, who had been split into two parts, had a strange phenomenon: numerous venomous snakes extended from the severed ends of his body and intertwined with each other, eventually bringing the two parts of his body back together.

At the same time, Orochimaru, whose upper body was rapidly pulled downwards, threw a punch directly at Kenkawa Tachibana-men.

"Rustling sound~"

A long, pink tongue, like a whip, lashed out and wrapped around Orochimaru's outstretched fist.

Although the fist eventually landed on Jianchuan Ju's face, it only sent him flying a few meters.

"what?"

Orochimaru suddenly looked at the tongue wrapped around his arm with some surprise.

"Poisonous? Heh."

Ignoring the slight numbness in his arm, Orochimaru forcefully pulled back with his left hand, clearly intending to drag Lanzi in front of him.

What he didn't expect was that the little devil's summoned beast had the same idea, and it retracted its tongue and rushed towards him.

"You think this little bit of poison can numb me? How naive!"

Orochimaru kept pulling with his left hand while quickly swinging his Kusanagi sword with his right, slashing at the flying little frog.

"Whoosh~"

"How is that possible!"

The Kusanagi sword sliced ​​through Lanzi's body without any resistance.

However, this was not due to the sharpness of the longsword, but rather because it did not actually hit the physical object.

next moment.

Lan Zai, who passed through the longsword, rapidly twisted and condensed the blue light in his hand into a deep blue water sphere.

The wisps of black energy on his body dissipated.

At such close range, Orochimaru, who had just been momentarily stunned by his missed attack, had absolutely no chance to dodge.

The blue sphere of light condensed by the "Water Wave" slammed solidly into Orochimaru.

However, the water sphere that attacked Orochimaru did not explode immediately.

Instead, it unleashed a powerful spiral force.

The rapidly spinning water sphere carried Orochimaru as it flew out.

With a loud bang, the water balloon finally exploded.

The dazzling blue light flashed and disappeared in an instant.

Orochimaru's body was violently thrown into the air and fell further away.
