Chapter 1272 Orochimaru's Counterattack

Naruto has another mission, this time to investigate Orochimaru, because someone discovered that Orochimaru appeared in the Land of Fire.

Orochimaru deliberately revealed his whereabouts in order to attract Konoha's ninjas. After deeply reflecting on his previous wrong battle plan, he decided to first attract Konoha's active forces and eliminate them bit by bit, to achieve the effect of isolating Konoha, and finally eliminate Konoha in one fell swoop.

He was too impatient before, but now he is about to implement a new plan to destroy Konoha.

From now on, all the lone ninjas in Konoha will be his target, and he will always make Konoha ninjas afraid to go out again. Orochimaru learned to be patient. Anyway, now that he has a long lifespan, he has enough time to fight with the Konoha ninjas.

There are two purposes for coming to Konoha this time. One is to eliminate Akatsuki members and obtain experimental materials, and the other is to start fighting.

It was not difficult to find Orochimaru. The intelligence said that Orochimaru was going to meet someone at the Fire Bridge in the Land of Fire. Kakashi led Class 7 to ambush nearby and wait for Orochimaru to appear.

Orochimaru asked Kabuto to pick up the test materials and asked him to bring the things back to the Hidden Village.

"Lord Orochimaru, if you do this, people will know your whereabouts." Kabuto said. It turned out that he was not only Orochimaru's follower but also Scorpion's spy.

Because Kabuto had lived in the Kingdom of Wind for a period of time under Gen's arrangement, and at that time he was controlled by Scorpion as a spy. Before meeting Orochimaru, Kabuto worked for Scorpion. After Orochimaru left the Akatsuki organization, Scorpio arranged for Kabuto to monitor Orochimaru.

This relationship was not completely broken until Scorpion died. Kabuto did not dare to have any disobedience in the face of the increasingly powerful Orochimaru. In addition, now that Scorpion was dead, he had no need to betray Orochimaru. Kabuto also hopes to rely on Orochimaru's power to subvert Konoha.

"It was on purpose to let Konoha know." Orochimaru chuckled.

Kabuto didn't know Orochimaru's plan yet, so he looked at Orochimaru doubtfully hoping to wait for an explanation.

"You don't need to know. When you go back, tell Kimimaro that he will take care of the family affairs and I will stay outside for a while." Orochimaru said.

"Yes!" Kabuto was full of questions, but he knew he shouldn't ask.

"Teacher, it's really Orochimaru, and that Kabuto." Haruno Sakura said to Kakashi: "What should we do now?" At this time, they hid and watched from a distance.

Kakashi frowned. He always felt that this place was too conspicuous and felt like a trap: "Don't act yet." However, they didn't know that their actions had been seen by a small snake in the grass.

Kakashi thought of Orochimaru, whom he had seen before in the Kingdom of Wind, and couldn't see through it at all. Kakashi knew that the Sannin were powerful, but there was no reason for them to be that powerful.

Hiss...

The little snake in the grass made a sound of spitting messages, which alerted the seventh team. The four of them looked over and saw a very spiritual little snake looking at them.

Orochimaru and Kakashi almost immediately saw the shadow of Orochimaru in the little snake's eyes, and immediately knew that they were exposed. Kunai comes out and crucifies the little snake.

"Retreat!" This was a trap. Kakashi and the others had set up an ambush before, but Orochimaru, who had just arrived, had already arranged spies nearby. This was definitely not a coincidence.

"It's a ninja from Konoha." Kabuto heard the noise and immediately spotted the ninja from Konoha.

"Haha, they're the ones we've been waiting for!" Orochimaru waved his hand, and Snake Spear ran away quickly. The distance between the two sides was no less than a hundred meters, and Snake Spear had already caught up with Team 7 in the blink of an eye.

"Drink!" But Kakashi's chakra was flowing all over his body. He turned around and shot out several kunai full of sword energy to block the attack of the snake spear.

boom! When the two collided, there was an explosion.

Class 7 couldn't leave. At some point, several Orochimaru appeared in front of them. They were Orochimaru's clones.

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki really surprised me." Orochimaru didn't expect that Tsunade would directly ask Naruto to investigate: "I'm really lucky." The Nine-Tails should be a very good test material.

Snake Spear, Orochimaru is going to nail these people here.

The four of them fought on their own. Sakura gathered chakra into her fist and punched the ground suddenly. The hard ground turned into a giant rock shield.

The snake spear hit the giant rock shield, digging holes one after another but failing to penetrate the several meters thick rock.

On the other side, Saoi splashed ink with a flick of his brush, and a solid basalt appeared in the air with its back to resist the snake spear.

Naruto summoned the clones and used the clones as shields. Several clones lined up in a row and were pierced by the snake spears, but the snake spears were also weak and lost their strength.

Each showed their magical powers and transformed Orochimaru's clone into intangible form.

But this was just Orochimaru's test, and the main course came next: "I have grown a lot, but that's all."

Everyone faced off against a clone.

Sai and Sakura were quickly defeated because Orochimaru's abilities were so weird, and there were even many abilities they had never seen before.

"Orochimaru, how come you have so many abilities?" Kakashi asked.

"I have to thank one of your acquaintances and several of your disciples for this." If Naruto and the others hadn't lost the bet two years ago, Orochimaru wouldn't have been so powerful: "You should just let it go, you are no match for me. "

Kakashi looked serious, and the sword energy in his body had increased. The invisible sword energy ran and cut Orochimaru's clothes: "It depends on whether your strength is as strong as you think."

"Hatake Kakashi?" Orochimaru was surprised at Kakashi's ability when he saw his clothes were damaged: "It doesn't seem to be chakra, it's the ability Duran gave you. Very sharp moves, but it's still too bad compared to my ability." Orochimaru's clone shouted, and his whole body was actually golden. This is the blood limit of super defense - the body of the golden boy.

But it's not enough. Orochimaru still has a lot of power that he hasn't used, such as the Sharingan. Orochimaru's eyes turned blood red after turning golden. That's the blood Sharingan with three magatama.

This time Kakashi was really shocked. Orochimaru's current state is not normal at all, too abnormal.

Other clones have already shown a lot of abilities, how come there are still abilities that haven't been shown? The clone against Sakura used Kimimaro's ability to control bones. The clone against Sai's eyes turned into white eyes, and at the same time, both hands had dust shields.

The clone against Naruto used the ability to absorb chakra.

Each clone has different abilities, and some even have two blood limits. How did Orochimaru do it?

In the distance, Orochimaru's true body only felt full of a sense of accomplishment. Now he can finally hold his head high. But Kabuto was thinking that all this was given by Duran. He was afraid that Duran was even more terrible. Lord Orochimaru now seemed to want to lure the Konoha ninja out of the village to kill him. He was afraid of Duran.

Even Kabuto didn't know how strong Duran was, but at least he knew that Lord Orochimaru would win this battle. Lord Orochimaru's chakra was now as abundant as the tailed beasts, and it was not a problem to deal with four people.

Sai and Sakura were the first to feel exhausted.

"Sakura!" Seeing that Haruno Sakura might not be able to support it, Naruto burst out three tails: "Orochimaru, I must defeat you!" However, with more tails, Orochimaru absorbed more chakra.

Orochimaru's clone technique is not a ninjutsu but a blood limit. Chakra can flow, and the absorbed chakra is converted into his own use, making Orochimaru more powerful.

Sakura and Sai were beaten and flew away. Team 7 encountered a big crisis, probably the second time since Zabuza. They just felt that they might die this time.
