Tiantian was relieved to see that Xia Mu was fine.

Then she equipped the Dragon Eye Retractable Sword behind her, and the other three pieces of equipment were also summoned. She was wearing armor that could absorb the enemy's chakra, and in her left and right hands were the Peacock Sword that could control the wind and the lightsaber that could emit fire, respectively. She looked majestic.

The Peacock Sword and the Light Sword were activated at the same time, immediately gushing out strong winds and flames. The flames exploded under the blessing of the strong winds and actually forced Orochimaru to retreat.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this. They didn't expect that there was a master in Konoha.

Although this girl with two buns doesn't look strong, she becomes very powerful after equipping herself with a four-piece suit.

She just forced Orochimaru back with one move, right? Right, right!

Team 7 was the most shocked: "So this is what Kakashi-sensei meant when he said Tenten's fighting style is special. And this must be his trump card. He is really powerful!"

Even Orochimaru was surprised by such ninja tools and gave a rare compliment: "Are you Natsuki's girlfriend Tenten? You have a good talent for manipulating ninja tools."

Being praised by Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas, Tenten is obviously in a strong state.

Xia Mu stepped back and took out another short sword, but when he looked at the Kusanagi sword in Orochimaru's hand, he felt that continuing to use the short sword would not be beneficial.

Maybe he should take out the knife!

Shino summoned a group of insects to block Natsuki to prevent Orochimaru from launching a sneak attack.

Orochimaru stood still. It was obvious that he was not panicking at all before the Hokage's support arrived. The examiners around him just surrounded him and did not dare to take action rashly.

The examiners knew clearly that they were no match for Orochimaru and that going forward would be tantamount to their death.

It would be better to surround them first and delay the time. The Hokage's support will surely arrive soon.

But the next second, Orochimaru suddenly glanced at them, his eyes emitting a cold murderous intent that instantly frightened most of the people present to the point of paralysis. Some of those with weaker mental endurance either fainted or vomited uncontrollably, the murderous aura of this man truly terrifying.

Chapter 95 Master and Disciple (Please give flowers)

"What's going on with this guy? It's so scary..."

Naruto was shaking badly, but he couldn't move. He was obviously suppressed by the murderous aura, and his pupils couldn't help but dilate.

Sakura's eyes had rolled back and she was obviously about to faint.

Sasuke also half-knelt on the ground tremblingly. He felt terror for the first time. He realized how terrifying the opponent Xia Mu had fought before was.

Looking at Xia Mu again, it seemed that Xia Mu just had goose bumps, but he was still standing steadily.

There were also Tenten and Shino, both of whom couldn't help but flinch, but they still stood firmly beside Natsuki, gritting their teeth to withstand Orochimaru's murderous aura.

"I'm really not as good as Tenten? Even worse than Shino? How can I accept this!"

Sasuke stabbed his thigh with a kunai with trembling hands. The pain stimulated him to wake up and he was finally able to control his body. At the same time, he took out a short knife and became alert.

Although he has not been practicing Hatake swordsmanship for a long time, this is the only thing he can do to deal with Orochimaru now.

Chidori hasn't learned it yet - he's not strong enough!

"Damn it! How can I become stronger?!"

Orochimaru looked at Sasuke in surprise, and couldn't help feeling satisfied. At least this Uchiha brat was quite brave. According to the information from Kabuto Yakushi, he seemed to have learned the Hatake sword technique. His comprehension was not bad, so he should be a good container.

However, I still have to find a chance to put the curse on him. After all, the test of the container is not that simple.

Unlike Sasuke's unwillingness, Natsuki, Tenten and Shino were just covered in goosebumps. It was really uncomfortable to face such terrible murderous aura for the first time.

Fortunately, Tiantian and Shino are strong and can still withstand it.

As for the other candidates, it seems that only Neji, Gaara and others can hold on. Isn't there a clear division in strength?

By the way, I don’t know where Kabuto Yakushi is hiding, and although the Sound Ninja Trio were also scared, they looked at Orochimaru with admiration in their eyes and looked like they were willing to help.

Tsk! What a hassle! Why hasn’t the Hokage arrived yet?

Shino whispered, "Natsuki, the opponent is very strong, don't be careless."

Tenten also said: "How about the three of us try to delay until Hokage-sama comes to rescue us? Orochimaru is too terrifying, we can't defeat him."

"I know, but I don't think I can beat him."

Unless I take out my trump card, or open the sixth gate of the Eight Gates!

Xia Mu added in his mind, but he didn't intend to do that. His goal was to drive Orochimaru away and prevent him from posing a threat to Tenten and his friends. As for his own strength, his previous performance might have been enough. Before Sarutobi Hiruzen was dead, it would be better not to show too much.

"Don't do anything! Let me do it!"

A sudden voice sounded, and Hongdou, who had been feeling uncomfortable just now, stood up and took a few steps to block Xia Mu and the others.

Tenten immediately objected, "Examiner Anko, this is too risky. It would be best if we all held him back until Hokage-sama arrives!"

Shino agreed, "Examiner Anko, please don't be so stubborn."

Hongdou shook her head: "You don't understand. You don't understand the grudge between him and me. Orochimaru, why did you come back? What is your purpose? Why did you abandon me in the first place?"

This statement made those who were not in the know look surprised, and they always felt that there was a story behind it.

Orochimaru smiled: "Haha, Red Bean, my good disciple, long time no see. It seems that you are living well in Konoha Village, but are you planning to kill me now?"

"That's right! I'm going to kill you!"

As soon as Hongdou finished speaking, she rushed forward and raised her hand, which turned into a snake and bit forward, "Shadow Snake Hand!"

However, Orochimaru dodged it easily, opened his mouth and spit out his long tongue, which directly wrapped around Red Bean and pulled her forward. But Red Bean took the opportunity to throw Orochimaru to the ground, holding down Orochimaru's right hand with his left hand, and pinned both of their hands to the ground with a kunai.

"Heh, I caught you! Orochimaru, let's die together!"

With madness in her eyes, Hongdou was about to use a forbidden technique to die together, "Ninjutsu: Twin Snakes Kill!"

But the next second, she found that the person under her had turned into a ball of mud, and Orochimaru himself had already been behind her without her knowing.

"You are the village's special jonin, why do you always use the forbidden techniques I taught you? So, Red Bean, my good disciple, you are not qualified, so I abandoned you."

Orochimaru's words hit Red Bean hard.

Moreover, Orochimaru also cast a curse seal, causing Red Bean to suffer so much that she was unable to resist at all.

Orochimaru was about to say something else when he suddenly heard a sound of electricity behind him. Xia Mu's figure flashed again, holding a long sword full of cracks and slashing at him.

Subconsciously, Orochimaru parried with the Kusanagi sword.

·· ·Request flowers· ····

However, when the Cracked Blade collided with the Kusanagi Sword, it suddenly broke apart on its own, successfully avoiding the Kusanagi Sword's block. Even though it was broken, it still chopped towards Orochimaru's head.

This result surprised Orochimaru even more, and he tilted his head and turned sideways to try to dodge.

However, the cracked blade automatically split and stretched, as if the power of chakra allowed the cracked fragments to connect out of thin air. It suddenly stretched and successfully cut off Orochimaru's head again.

This is the special ninja sword designed by Xia Mu, the Demonic Sword Thousand Blades!

Officially launched today!

Tiantian took the opportunity to control the Longyan retractable sword to turn into three dragon heads, which wrapped up Hongdou and pulled him back.

"Haha, this is really interesting. I can't help but be excited about Konoha's new generation. I really want to capture you all and do experiments on you!"

.... .... ....

Orochimaru's voice came from the falling head, and then he crawled out of the head's mouth again, looking completely immortal, which made people feel very desperate.

The Orochimaru's substitution technique has always been so outrageous, as if it could really make Orochimaru immortal.

It's a pity that Xia Mu's illusion is not strong, otherwise he could cast a powerful illusion on Orochimaru, which would make the soul-depleted Orochimaru feel extremely happy.

"Unfortunately, we are running out of time. The Sandaime Hokage is about to arrive. So everyone, I will be leaving first. Goodbye!"

Orochimaru said this and suddenly disappeared with a bang.

Xia Mu did not let down his guard and hurriedly said, "Ningji Shino, see if he is still there!"

Neji had already activated his Byakugan, but after scanning around a few times, he found nothing. He and Shino looked at each other and both shook their heads. It was obvious that Orochimaru had really left.

Shino also said: "I secretly sent the female insect to him, but now I can't sense the female insect's location."

Inuzuka Kiba also spoke weakly at this time: "Even Akamaru couldn't smell his scent. It seemed as if he really disappeared on the spot. This guy is really scary!"

As he spoke, his body was still shaking. He was almost frightened to death by the murderous look just now.

Hinata is really fainted, there is nothing we can do about it.

But everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Orochimaru was gone. Otherwise, they might not be able to hold on, and someone might even be killed. For example, the examiner Anko, who had just been ready to fight to the death.

Xia Mu and Tian Tian exchanged a glance and immediately put away their ninja tools.

Chapter 96 Good job

At this time, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen hurried over with several senior ninjas.

"Is everyone okay? Where's Orochimaru?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was serious, but he couldn't find Orochimaru after scanning the area. Many of the candidates were lying on the ground, and many looked extremely frightened. Anko seemed to be in the worst condition.

Teachers Kakashi, Kurenai Yuhi, Aoba Yamashiro, Asuma Sarutobi, and Gai also came and walked quickly to the front.

After making sure that his student was fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to check on Hongdou's condition. Fortunately, Hongdou was just suffering from the curse, and the injury on the back of her hand was not serious.

"what happened?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately asked the examiners present, and they soon explained the situation.

Including Natsuki discovering Orochimaru, and fighting back and forth with "Four Seven Seven" Orochimaru, with Tenten and Shino supporting him, and Red Bean planning to fight Orochimaru to the death.

As for the candidates' current state, they were just frightened by Orochimaru's murderous aura, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

However, there might be some psychological trauma, and it is impossible to continue with today's exam.

Only after Sarutobi Hiruzen confirmed that there were no casualties among the candidates did he completely feel relieved and immediately arranged for medical ninjas to provide simple treatment to the fainted and frightened candidates.

Hongdou gradually recovered at this time, but she was still a little dazed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know how to ask anything now, so he just asked her to have a good rest first.

Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Natsuki with a pleased smile: "Natsuki, I didn't expect you to have grown to this point. When you came to me with the Ninja Killer Cards, I predicted that you would have an extraordinary future. I didn't expect you to shine at the age of twelve!"

I don't believe you! You old man are so evil!

I just came to you to confirm the card issue. If the card was not related to ninja, do you think I would come to you?

I hid it very well at that time, could you see how extraordinary I was?

If I hadn't taken the initiative to reveal some of my strength later, you probably wouldn't have bothered to pay attention, right?

Xia Mu complained bitterly in his heart, but looked a little embarrassed: "Thank you for the compliment, Hokage-sama, I was just lucky."

"Haha, this is not luck, you really have the ability."

Sarutobi Hiruzen obviously recognized Natsuki's strength. Being able to deal with Orochimaru is not based on luck. Without sufficient skills, he would definitely not be able to hold on for that long.

Look at these examiners, and then look at Red Bean, this special Jonin. It would be difficult for her to even contain Orochimaru, let alone win.

But Xia Mu did it. If this is not considered strength, then aren’t others useless?

"By the way, how did you find Orochimaru?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was very curious about this.

"Oh, it's intuition!"

Xia Mu said seriously, "In order to make the cards, I specifically researched a lot of historical figures, and I know a lot about Orochimaru, and I also know about his relationship with the examiner Anko. Just now, when he was teasing the examiner Anko by pretending to be a female Kusanagi, he looked at her strangely, and the name 'Orochimaru' immediately popped up in my mind, and I subconsciously took action."

"So that's how it is. You are very perceptive, which is an essential quality for a good ninja!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen praised him. Although there were many doubts in Natsuki's explanation, the female Kusanagi was indeed Orochimaru. Maybe it was just Natsuki's intuition.

The most crucial point is that Xia Mu proved himself with his strength.

He now has at least the strength of a special jonin, which is obviously stronger than Hongdou, and he also knows Hatake swordsmanship and Eight Gates Ninjutsu, so he has to be taken seriously.

People with strength will be respected.

As the seedling of Konoha, Natsuki is the future of Konoha in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes. As long as he is sure that Natsuki is loyal to Konoha, then everything else will be fine.

In addition, Natsuki's girlfriend, Tenten, was also quite impressive. She was extremely talented in manipulating ninja tools, and with the help of some special tools, she could unleash considerable power. She even helped to contain Orochimaru a bit earlier. Compared to the other candidates' poor performance, Tenten's performance was quite outstanding.

By the way, the boy from Zhiwei’s family and the Uchiha orphan also performed well.

The new generation of Konoha is showing great potential, which is a great thing for Konoha.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of this, his originally serious mood became much better.

He may have been a politician with dishonorable means, but now in his old age, he only wants to leave Konoha with more strong seedlings before his death, and he also wants Konoha to once again reach the top of the ninja world...
