Konoha: I have a gravity training room

Inside the scroll is a map, which appears to be a lake that is shrouded in fog all year round. The reason why the three-tailed beast is suspected to be in the lake is because the three-tailed beast likes to live alone in freshwater environments and is good at water escape. It will often deliberately spray fog to cover the lake, so that people and other creatures dare not approach it at will and disturb its comfortable life.

"Tailed Beast! I found you!"

Sasuke immediately put the scroll away, and couldn't help but smile.

Kakashi and Sakura also walked in. They first glanced at Sai with dissatisfaction, then saw that Sasuke seemed very happy, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Sasuke-kun, what did you find that made you so happy?" Sakura started a conversation.

"Nothing much, just some records about the Uchiha."

Sasuke didn't want others to know his thoughts. He knew Kakashi and it was very likely that he would not agree to him becoming a Jinchūriki.

Therefore, he had to hide the information and find time to ask Xia Mu for help. With Xia Mu's strength, subduing the Three-Tails would definitely not be a problem. What he had to do was to learn the sealing technique well. Whether he could successfully seal the Three-Tails and extract its power depended entirely on himself.

"It's a pity that the Three-Tails is good at water escape, which doesn't suit me, but this is the only option for now."

Sasuke couldn't help it.

At present, it is already a rare opportunity to obtain the power of the three-tailed beast, and he cannot ask for more.

Sai looked through it for a while, but didn't seem to find what he wanted, so he said, "Sorry, I have my own tasks, so I was delayed a little. I hope you won't be angry?"

"What do you say?"

Sakura looked very unhappy and wanted to beat up this pale guy.

Kakashi said, "Okay, since everything is fine, let's continue searching. There's still no news from Xia Mu. Maybe he went in the wrong direction and we might run into him. We should find Orochimaru quickly and eliminate him. If he escapes, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Konoha was already unable to sleep because of this poisonous snake lurking in the neighboring country. If he were to escape, there would be no peace in the future.

The four of them took action again, and perhaps they were lucky this time, as they actually encountered Orochimaru in the corridor.

Orochimaru's hands were bandaged, and a cold smile graced his pale, bloodless face. "Hehehe, I was wondering why the base was suddenly so lively. Turns out our friends from Konoha are here. Sasuke-kun, are you offering your body to me? Although it's still two years before I reincarnate again, I don't mind taking you with me."

The answer was Sasuke drawing his sword.

Sasuke said coldly, "If you want my body, you can come and try! But today is the day you die!"

As he said that, he pounced forward. His three-magatama Sharingan had already been opened, and his lightning body was faster than before. In the blink of an eye, the long sword was in front of Orochimaru's head.

Dang! The swords collided, and brilliant sparks burst out.

Orochimaru had already completed my snake-spitting and sword-spitting maneuvers, and he continued to respond with the sword in his mouth.

Although he couldn't use his hands, he was still able to keep up with Sasuke's speed, and he didn't fall into a disadvantage even if he just held the sword with his mouth.

As expected of one of the Three Ninjas!

Kakashi took out a kunai and reluctantly pushed up his forehead protector to reveal his Sharingan. "I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky to have run into Orochimaru. Why didn't Natsuki run into him? And Tenten isn't here. How can I notify Natsuki to come over?"

Having said that, he was already prepared to strike at any moment.

It’s just that the corridor is narrow and not suitable for two people to work together.

Kakashi could only use earth escape to escape directly to the other side of the corridor, blocking Orochimaru's retreat.

As for Sakura, she quickly retreated, not daring to get too close, fearing that Orochimaru would notice her. With her strength, getting too close would only result in her being eaten.

"Once again, I can't do anything. I can only wait for someone to get hurt before treating them. Unfortunately, my medical ninjutsu is still very ordinary, and I can't treat serious injuries. I am really useless. I clearly want to help Sasuke-kun, and I clearly want to become stronger, but what should I do? Should I become Tsunade-sama's disciple? But with my qualifications, will Tsunade-sama really recognize me?"

It’s no wonder that Sakura doubted herself, she really couldn’t do it.

She only had good grades in written tests when she was in school, and after becoming a ninja, she only had better chakra control. She had no other advantages at all. Even if she was compared with other girls of the same age in terms of figure, she would be completely defeated.

The most important thing is that she is still fantasizing about falling in love within the team!

He said he wanted to become stronger, but in fact he didn't have the firm determination to become stronger!

In her current state, few people would accept her as a disciple, let alone someone like Tsunade, who would never accept a person with weak beliefs as a disciple!

At this time, Sasuke's White Fang swordsmanship seemed to have the upper hand, but he could not defeat Orochimaru for a long time.

Sasuke knew clearly that if Orochimaru could not use his hands, he would not be able to fight Orochimaru to this extent.

But this is also an opportunity for him to hone his skills. If he can defeat Orochimaru before Xia Mu comes, it will be a good thing.

So, he immediately launched his ultimate move: "Instant Phantom!"

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Three phantoms separated and blocked both sides of the corridor together with the main body.

Chapter 225 The Death of Orochimaru

Orochimaru recognized this move and stared greedily at Sasuke's three magatama: "Sparasi! Sparasi, Sasuke-kun! Those eyes are so beautiful! And you have also learned Shisui's instant body technique, you are really a genius! I want your body more and more!"

Such a look was uncomfortable, but Sasuke did not react.

He and the phantom took turns rushing forward, and Orochimaru quickly used the Kusanagi sword to block.

But now Orochimaru has lost his hands and is very inflexible. Even if he notices Sasuke's attacks, he can't keep up. He often hits phantoms with his sword, and then is injured by Sasuke's long sword.

After dozens of moves, Orochimaru was already covered in wounds.

But the serpent continued to laugh: "Ho ho ho ho, Sparassi! Sparassi! This body is mine!"

As he said that, he suddenly rushed towards Sasuke in front of him. However, this Sasuke was still an illusion, but Orochimaru did not stop and went straight to Sakura. As for Sai, who was supposed to be beside Sakura, he had disappeared long ago.

"Sakura is in danger!" Kakashi shouted to warn her.

However, Sakura was already scared silly. Facing the rushing Orochimaru, she felt fear instinctively, and her feet couldn't even move.

He watched helplessly as Orochimaru was about to catch him.

I guess Orochimaru doesn't care about his face and plans to take Sakura as a hostage. After all, he can do anything, so what's the big deal about taking a little girl as a hostage?

"Sakura!"

Sasuke growled, but he was already behind Orochimaru.

Just as he was about to attack Orochimaru, Orochimaru suddenly turned around and turned into a giant white-scaled snake, instantly wrapping around Sasuke.

It seems that Orochimaru did it on purpose, a typical diversionary tactic.

Kakashi rushed forward, but Orochimaru took the opportunity to whip him away with his tail.

This is the first time that Orochimaru reveals the form of a white-scaled snake, and it is also his only choice at the moment. After all, he cannot use his hands, and his ninjutsu and taijutsu are all useless. It is difficult for him to defeat Sasuke, not to mention Kakashi.

Now he has made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, successfully luring Sasuke and trapping him.

Maybe there is still a slight chance of winning.

If he was a little more greedy, he might be able to take Sasuke away, because there was still a curse mark on Sasuke's body.

Orochimaru did not hesitate and directly activated the power of the curse seal. Even though the curse seal was sealed by the Evil Seal, it continued to stir, causing Sasuke to scream in pain.

Sasuke tried to control the sealing technique himself, but his body was wrapped up and his hands couldn't move at all.

As for Sakura, she could only listen to Sasuke's screams and watch helplessly.

At this moment, she couldn't even help the person she loved the most. She was even targeted by Orochimaru and Sasuke was implicated. She seemed very incompetent.

At this moment, the white-scaled snake suddenly stiffened and let go of Sasuke uncontrollably.

Four people walked out from one end of the corridor, led by a young girl holding a drawing board and a paintbrush, and Kurama Yakumo who could turn illusions into reality!

Kurama Yakumo, with a serious expression on her face, looked at the white-scaled snake on the drawing board and decisively drew a large nail and nailed it into the snake's seven inches. As her power was activated, a large nail also appeared in reality and was fiercely nailed into the white-scaled snake's seven inches, causing Orochimaru to scream in pain.

"Ahhh! What kind of power is this?! Illusion? No! This is clearly reality!"

Orochimaru even began to doubt his life. His incomplete soul could only be abused when facing high-level illusions.

Yamashiro Aoba guarded Kurama Yakumo, while Ren escorted Xiaohui and walked forward quickly, dragging Sakura and Sasuke behind, and Kakashi also hurried over to meet them.

"It was a close call!" Kakashi's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"Kakashi, how did it become like this?" Yamashiro Aoba was puzzled.

"Hey, it's just bad luck. I told Natsuki to look for Orochimaru first, but I didn't expect him to find him, and I ran into him first. Sasuke and Orochimaru fought, and Sasuke had the upper hand because Orochimaru couldn't use his hands. But Orochimaru triggered the curse seal on Sasuke and turned him into a big snake like this..."

Kakashi was also helpless. He originally thought that Sasuke should be able to defeat him, but he didn't expect such a change to happen.

It was also his misjudgment that he shouldn't have stayed too far away from Sakura, and no one knew where Sai had gone, which allowed Orochimaru to take advantage of the opportunity.

If the Aoba Squad hadn't arrived, Sasuke would have been in real danger!

At this time, Sasuke had already activated the power of the Evil Sealing Seal and suppressed the restless curse, and finally the pain was gone.

·· ·Request flowers· ····

He looked at Kurama Yakumo with a pale face: "Thank you. Your name is Kurama Yakumo, right? You are amazing!"

Kurama Yakumo felt a little shy when he heard this, but he also smiled generously and said, "I'm glad Sasuke-kun is okay. My skills are just average, not as good as Sasuke-kun's."

Sasuke said seriously, "Don't be modest. You are indeed amazing. Besides Tenten, you are the only girl who is that amazing. Girls should be more amazing."

Kurama Yakumo's face turned even redder, after all, it was the first time she was praised by a handsome boy.

Sakura subconsciously became alert and her eyes widened.

Sasuke-kun said that girls should be more powerful?

In other words, Sasuke-kun never looked at her directly because she was too weak?

..... .... 0

Come to think of it, even though she always ranked first in the school's written exams, her skills were very average. After becoming a ninja, she didn't show any performance at all, even inferior to Naruto. So Sasuke and Naruto seemed to be constantly bickering, but in fact, Sasuke was very optimistic about Naruto's abilities. As for her, the flower of Team 7, she had no sense of existence at all, and only Naruto would flatter her.

Anyway, Sasuke never looked down on her!

Because she is too weak, she can't do anything, can't play any role, and may even be a drag!

Just like before, what else could she do besides being frightened? Even when Sasuke was entangled by a giant snake in front of him, she didn't even take out a kunai to poke the snake. What use could she have been?

In comparison, Kurama Yakumo is really powerful. He subdued the white-scaled snake as soon as he arrived!

Moreover, Kurama Yakumo is gentle and beautiful, with a slim and graceful figure, which is much better than her brother Sakura!

For a moment, Sakura felt that life was bleak.

However, at this moment, the white-scaled snake suddenly trembled, then suddenly shed its skin, broke free from the big nail, and rushed madly to the other end of the corridor.

Kurama Yakumo wanted to make another move, but found that Orochi had already run away.

However, Orochimaru's screams suddenly erupted from the corridor ahead, and then a huge snake head was seen flying back and falling to the ground with its eyes open.

As for the body of the big snake, it was slowly dragged over by someone.

This person is Xia Mu!

"Hey! Is everyone okay?"

Chapter 226 Trophies

Xia Mu raised his hand to greet him and saw that only Sasuke looked a little embarrassed, while no one else was injured.

I felt relieved immediately.

He said to Kakashi, "Kakashi-senpai, I've been searching for Orochimaru for ages and couldn't find him. I heard the noise and rushed over. I saw this giant snake suddenly rushing towards me in the corridor, and I killed it with one strike. If I'm not mistaken, it must be Orochimaru."

Kakashi nodded: "He is indeed Orochimaru. I didn't expect him to transform himself into this."

Speaking of this, I can't help but sigh.

He was clearly one of the three ninjas, but in order to realize his dream of eternal life, he committed countless evil deeds, even transforming himself into a state of being neither human nor snake, and finally ended up with such a tragic death.

It’s sad, lamentable, and hateful!

Xia Mu looked at Sasuke again: "You didn't fight Orochimaru again, did you? How was "Five Seven Zero"? Did you win?"

Sasuke shook his head: "I used the instant illusion to gain the upper hand, but Orochimaru used a trick and turned into a giant snake to entangle me, and also triggered the curse seal on my body. Fortunately, Yakumo saved me, otherwise I would be in danger."

Hmm? So, you're calling me by my name?

Oh, it doesn't seem to be anything wrong. Sasuke also calls Sakura and Xiaohui, which is normal.

Xia Mu smiled and praised: "As expected of me recommending him, he is really reliable at the critical moment!"

Kurama Yakumo blushed again, but Xiaohui said with a proud look, "Boss, you didn't see it. At that time, the big snake was entangled with Sasuke-kun, and then Yakumo used illusion to make the big snake let go, and then hit the big snake with a nail, almost nailing it to death. If the big snake hadn't shed its skin and escaped, it wouldn't be your turn to kill it!"

"Oh, that's really amazing!"

Xia Mu continued to praise Kurama Yakumo, and his face turned red with praise.
