Five Escapes in a Row

Orochimaru made a move.

He begins with a kunai, uses a clone technique for cover, and then follows with a ninjutsu.

Earth Release: Close-range attack; Illusion Technique: Control of the battlefield.

Close-quarters combat skills, defeating the enemy in one move.

Orochimaru transformed his perfect answer sheet for nine years of compulsory education into a smooth combo, directly filling Yang Xiang with energy.

If it were an ordinary ninja, they would be completely dumbfounded after this.

If it were Kakashi, his mana bar would probably be empty by now.

But Yang Xiang is different.

He's an unorthodox artist, an art student, and doesn't follow the traditional arts and sciences route.

So when Orochimaru got close, a huge, green-glowing hood slapped straight at his oval face.

The wind pressure distorted his face.

Young man, you have no sense of martial ethics!

Orochimaru quickly moved away, narrowly avoiding being slapped in the face.

As expected, she is a ninja of the same type as Tsunade, who trusts her fists more than Wood Release.

Orochimaru felt somewhat relieved.

Before coming, he had naturally done a thorough analysis of Yang Xiang's intelligence.

Although he knows Wood Release, he rarely uses it. This suggests that his Wood Release is unreliable, perhaps due to issues with its power or chakra consumption.

In short, most of the time, Yang Xiang solves problems with his fists.

This gave Orochimaru an opportunity.

No matter how powerful a superhuman punch is, it's only effective if it hits the target.

As long as I keep my distance and move to A, he can't do anything to me!

Five Orochimarus appeared instantly, each jumping apart and forming hand seals.

Five Elements - Great Combo!

Wind, thunder, water, fire, earth.

The five ninjutsu surged toward Yang Xiang like a torrent.

The air was torn apart by chakra.

The swan song of ninjutsu, the ultimate ninjutsu technique, the masterpiece of the Third Hokage.

Five Elements Technique: Great Continuous Bullet Technique, respectfully presented!

Orochimaru smiled.

The cards are fine.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi's most outstanding disciple, he inherited everything from his teacher, including his mastery of all elemental ninjutsu.

Why was he confident of defeating Yang Xiang?

It is because of this profound secret.

He wants to take advantage of a time difference.

No matter how powerful the Super Strength Fist is, or how shameless the Wood Release technique is, all techniques are ultimately controlled by humans.

Yang Xiang has a fatal flaw, which he has noticed: his age.

Regardless, he was just a twelve-year-old child.

His body is just entering the developmental stage, and his chakra reserves will definitely become a weakness.

Why did Orochimaru breathe a sigh of relief when Yang Xiang didn't use Wood Release?

Because that's his guess.

Due to insufficient chakra, Yang Xiang would try to avoid using large-scale ninjutsu such as Wood Release, and instead prioritize taijutsu like Super Strength Fist, which is more chakra-efficient, as the core of his tactics.

This is the opportunity.

Once locked onto by the Five Elements Great Barrage, no one can withstand it.

The interplay of five elemental ninjutsu almost turned Yang Xiang's body into a vacuum.

A strong sense of crisis swept over us.

If you try to take the hit head-on, you'll die.

Unlike Tsunade and Jiraiya, Orochimaru went straight for the kill.

I, Yang Xiang, would like to acknowledge you as the strongest of the Three Ninjas.

At least for now, before Jiraiya learns Sage Mode, Orochimaru is far stronger than the other two.

Before today, Yang Xiang would have truly been in crisis.

Faced with an enemy like Orochimaru, he might choose to use a magical artifact to finish the battle quickly.

But isn't this just a coincidence?

The flower basket spun around, and the surrounding ninjutsu was sucked in by the storm.

=Bad ideas are being generated.

So tired... I'm almost out of fuel...

Did Yang Xiang get burned to death?

Orochimaru was puzzled.

Why is there no sound at all?

But something felt off; he could clearly sense that there was still chakra resisting inside.

Forget it, let's keep ranting.

Passion is burning!

"Wow, Captain Orochimaru's ultimate technique is amazing!"

"Of course, this is Lord Hiruzen's ultimate technique. Do you think the strongest Hokage is joking with you?"

"Captain Sarutobi, what do you think?"

How do I see? Of course, I see with my eyes.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke sighed.

Old man, you're being unfair!

I do not understand.

Why did Tsunade and Jiraiya both say "No, no," as if their coming to find Yang Xiang meant certain doom?

Ten years ago, I embarked on my journey from the Ninja Academy, beginning my ninja career.

Which task doesn't end perfectly?

Which villager didn't greet me with utmost respect?

They truly had the advantage of perfect timing.

As Orochimaru's chakra was depleted, his hands trembled slightly.

Regardless, Yang Xiang was hit by my Five-Element Combo.

The advantage lies with me!

"After all this time... I hope it hasn't burned out?"

The members of the secret service nearby were all speechless.

Let's not let anyone die, or we'll all be in trouble.

"Orochimaru, stop!" Sarutobi Shinnosuke advised.

Orochimaru stopped his spitting ninjutsu.

He was also a little scared.

The remaining ninjutsu was sucked into the flower basket like a vortex, falling back into Yang Xiang's palm and turning into a small ornament.

Why did it stop?

Yang Xiang looked at Orochimaru opposite him.

?

Where is my ninjutsu?

My Five Elements Great Combo is so big!

This ninja tool can also absorb ninjutsu!

Oh no, they're after me.

Orochimaru's eyes cleared up instantly.

mean!

So they had investigated me before.

No wonder they used this ninja tool to sweep me before I even showed myself.

It turns out to be a ninja tool that is completely restrained.

This kid is no ordinary opponent.

We must strike hard.

"You're done, now it's my turn!"

Yang Xiang spoke politely, his palm flashing with green light.

The distance between the two is closing at the speed of light.

I heard you say that during the civil war, Orochimaru was just a nobody by the roadside, getting whipped by Yang Xiang.

It was quite sudden.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke stopped in his tracks.

Whose side are we on?

Should we help Orochimaru?

But he's almost turned into a whirlwind; just looking at his face hurts.

"Hey, Yang Xiang, stop."

Yang Xiang turned around.

"I am Hiruzen Sarutobi's son, give me some face."

So that's how it is, he's the third generation's son.

That's giving you face.

You should spin around too.

Two whirlwinds began to spin through the forest, causing the occult members nearby to tremble in fear.

"Spare his life!!!"

A loud shout came from afar, and a toad descended from the sky, landing in the center of the arena and separating Yang Xiang and Orochimaru.

It's Jiraiya.

Thankfully, I wasn't too late.

After Orochimaru left, and after a long period of deliberation, Jiraiya still decided to come.

They're all comrades from the village; there's no need for them to turn against each other over the sake of becoming Hokage.

He looked at Orochimaru on the ground.

hiss!

Is this Orochimaru? It feels like all that's left is Daimaru.

Orochimaru, who had spun countless times, lay on the ground, his long hair covering one-fifth of his face.

Because his face was swollen from being hit and had turned into a pig's head, only a small part of it could be covered.

And your presence here is a miracle of life.

Jiraiya grabbed Orochimaru and hugged him tightly.

"I understand!"

A tear slid down between the two fleshy petals.

pain!

It hurts so much!

I must develop a ninjutsu that allows me to rotate my neck!

At that moment, Orochimaru made a vow in his heart.

It turns out that Tsunade and Jiraiya had told him this earlier in the tavern.

Don't you have any shame?

It's not mockery, but advice!
