As they clashed, ninjas from the Hidden Sound Village also appeared.
Without needing to say much, they began fighting the ninjas of Konoha.
Orochimaru glanced at it.
Otogakure was clearly at a disadvantage.
Orochimaru was not surprised.
The Hidden Sound Village was established too recently, and there weren't even many Jonin.
His only regret was that Konoha Village arrived too suddenly, and he didn't have time to move many of his experimental equipment.
The village of Otogakure can be rebuilt, but the experimental equipment is gone, and buying it again would be an astronomical expense.
This is the culmination of his many years of hard work.
But things have come to this point, and it's not time to think about experimental equipment; escaping is the most important thing.
"I don't need Jiraiya to deal with you."
Tsunade shook her head and said, "It's enough for me and Kitazawa."
“Your student is indeed quite good. I’ve heard about him in Otogakure.”
Orochimaru sized up Kitazawa, then subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth.
Kitazawa is a genius who perfectly fits his criteria for a container.
The only regret is that it doesn't have a bloodline limit.
Orochimaru believed that the best vessel for a person to possess was one with a bloodline limit.
In the original work, he has two best vessels: Kaguya Kimimaro and Uchiha Sasuke.
However, Kimimaro Kaguya had to give up because of his bloodline limit disease.
Kitazawa couldn't help but twitch his lips.
He could probably guess what Orochimaru was thinking.
After all, Orochimaru's favorite thing is to collect geniuses and use them as his vessels.
"Orochimaru, surrender now, and I might spare your life out of consideration for our past relationship!"
Tsunade said in a deep voice.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid it can't be as you wish."
Orochimaru said with a faint smile.
"It seems there's only one way left."
Tsunade clenched her fists instinctively.
Manda couldn't bear it any longer and charged directly at Tsunade and Kitazawa.
The two leaped up, ignoring the battle between the giant snakes and the slugs, and charged towards Orochimaru from the left and right.
Orochimaru grabbed the Kusanagi sword and slashed at them.
With a clang!
Kitazawa drew his Thunderstrike sword and blocked the Kusanagi sword.
Tsunade's body tilted to the side, and she swung her fist out.
Hidden Shadows, Many Snake Hands!
Orochimaru raised his left hand, and countless venomous snakes crawled out from his sleeve.
Kitazawa reacted quickly.
With his left hand, he took out the Moon Slashing Sword and with a diagonal slash, a large number of poisonous snakes were cut in two.
Just then, the Kusanagi sword suddenly extended and stabbed towards Kitazawa's head.
Seeing this, Tsunade twisted her wrist, and the fist that was originally aimed at Orochimaru landed on the Kusanagi sword.
A tremendous power emanated from him, and Orochimaru felt a numbness in his right hand as the Kusanagi sword flew out.
Orochimaru wasn't worried even after losing the Kusanagi Sword.
The Formation of Ten Thousand Serpents!
He stepped back and spat out a large number of venomous snakes from his mouth, instantly occupying all the open space in front of him.
The venomous snakes swarmed toward Tsunade and Kitazawa.
"What a despicable viper!"
Tsunade frowned.
Lightning Release: Chidori Stream!
Kitazawa immediately formed a hand seal, and a sound like a bird's chirp rang out.
A dazzling and brilliant burst of lightning shot out.
In an instant, all the venomous snakes were enveloped in lightning, accompanied by crackling sounds.
"Kakashi's Chidori?"
Orochimaru felt that the face looked familiar.
But it is clearly a variant of Lightning Release: Chidori.
Tsunade wasn't idle either; she used a Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of Orochimaru.
She threw a punch.
A whooshing sound arose, and a terrifying power spread.
But just as she was about to hit Orochimaru, his body softened and twisted, causing Tsunade's punch to miss completely.
This is Orochimaru's software modification.
Its ability to stretch and twist freely or to any angle is beyond human capabilities; its flexibility and elasticity are unlike anything human has ever seen.
Orochimaru was about to speak when he realized that Kitazawa was no longer there.
A sharp aura came from behind him.
Orochimaru turned his head and saw a spinning ball of chakra.
Minato Namikaze's Rasengan?
No, it also incorporates Wind Release.
Kitazawa suddenly accelerated, and Wind Release: Rasengan struck him directly in the back.
The wind-style chakra spun around, cutting through his flesh like a sharp blade.
His blood splattered, and his body fell backward.
Tsunade instinctively looked away, then couldn't help but ask, "He's dead?"
She sensed something unreal.
"It's not that easy to die."
Kitazawa stood beside her, looking at Orochimaru's corpse.
"Your student is really quite good."
Orochimaru rose from his corpse.
This is the Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique.
"He is naturally very outstanding."
Tsunade snorted coldly and threw another punch.
Orochimaru twitched his finger.
The Kusanagi sword that fell to the ground pierced Tsunade like a senbon needle.
Uchiha Style: Gale Sword!
Kitazawa drew his Zanpakuto and swung it.
A scorching heat filled the air.
The flaming blade flew out and struck the Kusanagi sword.
Tsunade's fist was about to strike.
Orochimaru slowly raised his arms.
Serpentine limb hardening!
His arms immediately became incredibly hard, and when they met Tsunade's fist, both of them were jolted and took several steps back.
Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!
Orochimaru formed a hand seal with one hand, leaned back, and unleashed a violent storm.
The power he wielded from a basic Wind Release ninjutsu was comparable to that of most A-rank ninjutsu.
Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!
Kitazawa clapped his hands together.
The water appeared out of nowhere, forming a wall of water in front of them.
"Tsunade-sensei!"
Kitazawa shouted and formed hand seals again.
Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!
A massive amount of chakra spewed from his mouth, transforming into a waterfall-like flow in the air.
The wall of water was blown down in an instant, and together with the water flow, it turned into ocean waves.
"As expected, it is a water jutsu comparable to the Mizukage."
Despite being in danger, Orochimaru remained calm and praised him.
Tsunade showed a displeased expression.
Orochimaru's tone revealed his admiration for Kitazawa, as if he were about to compete with her for the students.
Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!
An earthen wall blocked Orochimaru's path.
But it didn't last a second before it was declared a failure.
However, this was enough for Orochimaru.
Wind Escape·Vacuum Jade!
Orochimaru spat out a giant whirlwind.
The typhoon spread, creating a huge hole in the waves.
Orochimaru leaped up and landed on the water's surface.
The sound of wind breaking rang out.
Before he could even stand up straight, Tsunade kicked him.
Dirt was splashed everywhere.
Orochimaru's earth substitute merged into the water.
Not far away, his true form reappeared, looking at Kitazawa and Tsunade.
After fighting for so long, he realized that taking them down was unlikely.
Although it was hard to part with them, it was time to give up Otogakure and these experimental facilities.
Suddenly, Kitazawa formed hand seals and created four shadow clones.
Orochimaru was slightly taken aback.
He didn't react at first, and it wasn't until all five Bei Zes formed hand seals at the same time that his expression changed drastically.
