Naruto Orochimaru: I must win this time

Chapter 263: Even Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Are Not Good

With very little chakra left, Zetsu's self-destruction wouldn't have caused much of an impact, but it did slow down Orochimaru's pace a little.

By the time he flashed back to the ground, Black Zetsu had already disappeared from his original place.

Orochimaru quickly put his palm on the ground, and after a slight sense, he realized the approximate location of Black Zetsu.

Don't think you'll be safe once you go underground. It's even easier for Orochimaru to sense the situation underground than on the ground.

Even if the opponent can merge with the earth, the moving land is the target. Moreover, in such a short time, the opponent cannot run far.

Things happened just as Orochimaru had thought. He sensed something strange at the edge of the square and without thinking, he came right above the target.

"You can come as you please, and leave as you please. Do you really think the North is your backyard?"

Orochimaru kicked down with such force that a hole several dozen meters wide was created on the ground. The power was so horrific that even Tsunade would have found it difficult to survive.

As the gravel flew, Orochimaru saw a familiar black shadow at the edge of the pit, but before he could take any action, it sank into the ground again.

Orochimaru could only keep smashing forward, and soon big pits appeared on the edge of the square.

At this time, Black Zetsu was also a little panicked. He couldn't win the fight, and when he wanted to leave, he was chased again.

What's even more terrible is that the barrier team in the north opened the barrier at some point, covering the entire north, including the outer city.

At this point, even if Black Zetsu wanted to escape or go deeper underground, it would be impossible. It could be said that he was caught in a jar, and it was only a matter of time before he was pulled out.

Just when Orochimaru hit Black Zetsu again with a gravity punch and was about to kick him into the air, a vortex that distorted space appeared in front of Black Zetsu.

The next moment, Black Zetsu disappeared into the vortex, and then the space returned to calm again.

Orochimaru knew who was coming, so he simply retracted his left foot.

When the vortex appeared again, a masked ninja also appeared in front of him.

The two men were looking at each other from a distance of twenty or thirty meters. The masked man was currently standing at the exact location of the statue that was built based on the prototype of Orochimaru.

Looking at this unfamiliar face, Obito, who was standing on the statue's shoulder, became confused.

When did such a strong man appear in the ninja world who could force Jue to this extent? No matter how he did it, it was already amazing.

And judging from the battlefield environment, they were completely passive and taking the beating.

"I didn't expect this guy would fall down sometimes!"

Obito sneered in his heart. Last time during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, he was seriously injured and was ridiculed by the other side. This time it was his turn.

But then again, why do I have a strange feeling about this stranger in front of me? Why do his temperament and smile seem familiar?

"Have we seen the Golden Shadow of the North?"

Obito spoke first, his eyes never stopping studying Orochimaru.

Through the mask, Obito's voice sounded a little sharp, a bit like White Zetsu's voice.

"Hehehe... maybe! Maybe I held you in my arms when we were little!"

Orochimaru's voice was a little rough, which was quite different from when he was in Konoha and Akatsuki. It was unlikely to guess his identity based on this.

When Obito heard the first half of the sentence, he thought he had met an old acquaintance. After all, he had met many strong people in his many years of traveling around the country.

But when he heard the second half of the sentence, his face darkened and his eyes became murderous.

Orochimaru did not lie. Orochimaru really hugged Obito. It was at the graduation ceremony of Konoha Ninja Academy.

Students who graduate from the Ninja School will hug their teachers, including Orochimaru.

Because Orochimaru not only worked as a substitute teacher in the Ninja School, but also taught in their class. Naturally, Orochimaru was involved when their class graduated.

Maybe there were too many teachers, or Orochimaru's presence was relatively low, and he didn't leave much of an impression on the other party.

Plus, this kid is a poor student. He either skips classes or sleeps in class. How could he even remember that he has a teacher like Orochimaru?

In that case, Orochimaru not only hugged him, but also gave him lessons. He was just short of teaching him how to play basketball...

"I've made note of what happened today. This matter is not over yet!"

Obito said viciously. Although he was not injured, Kakuzu's disgusting human wave tactics made him a little embarrassed.

We really didn't gain any advantage this time, and Jue even suffered a setback. After today, we have to raise the threat from the North to a higher level.

"What? Are you planning to run away? And I should be the one saying this!"

There was still a faint smile on Orochimaru's face, but his tone was getting colder and colder. Pretending and then running away, isn't this what Orochimaru usually likes to do?

Now someone actually wants to show off his skills in front of him. Don't say that you only have earth. Even if you have gold, wood, water, fire or earth, it won't work!

However, he was always a step slow. Just when he was about to activate the ring and serve as a substitute teacher for the other party again, the Eight Gates Golden Locks in his body, which had not been triggered for a long time, started to work.

"Illusion? When?"

Although he was only in a trance for a moment before returning to normal, Orochimaru's face darkened.

He hadn't encountered an Uchiha ninja for a long time. He had become accustomed to crushing his opponents with his powerful strength, and had become a little lax in his defense against illusions.

Coupled with his preconceived ideas, Obito rarely used illusions in the original work and almost forgot that the opponent was an Uchiha.

You have to know that Obito used illusion to control the Nine-Tails, and later controlled the Fourth Mizukage Yagura for a long period of time. Since then, he rarely took action, and most of the time it was White Zetsu who was just doing the side job.

How bad can the Mangekyō that can control the Nine-Tails and the Mizukage be?

If I hadn't taken precautionary measures many years ago, I might have become the second Yagura!

Thinking of this, Orochimaru instantly activated the Xiangyun. He originally wanted to hold back, after all, the other party was probably just coming to the North to test the waters, otherwise there couldn't be only two of them.

He also didn't want to expose all of his strength, otherwise he would have used more than just physical skills and ninjutsu when fighting against Jue just now.

Not to mention anything else, under a hundred times the gravity, it would be difficult for Black Zetsu to move.

But he knew that now was not the time to deal with the other party, and Obito, who was nearby, would not watch Black Zetsu fall into his hands.

He almost capsized in the ditch. If he doesn't teach Obito an unforgettable lesson this time, he is not worthy of being his teacher!

When Obito saw that Orochimaru was in a trance, he thought his plan had succeeded and was about to curl up his lips, but the next moment Orochimaru's eyes became clear again!

"This... could it be that the other party is a Jinchūriki?"

He was somewhat surprised that his illusion failed for the first time, but Orochimaru didn't care about his reaction.

In the moment he was stunned, Orochimaru had already come to his side. The whistling wind blew up Obito's hair, proving that he was in a physical state at this time.

However, Obito, who had seen many big scenes and done many big things, was also very experienced. He also came to his senses very quickly, sensed the approaching danger, and instinctively retracted his body into the different space.

He was fast, but Orochimaru was faster! One of Obito's arms didn't have time to enter the alternate dimension, and was directly broken by Orochimaru's kick.

Orochimaru vaguely heard a muffled groan, but he immediately left the spot.

Because Obito's whirlpool is intended to suck Orochimaru in as well, this trick may work against ninjas who don't understand the situation, but Orochimaru knows his background very well!
