Chapter 296 Orochimaru, Defeated!
Compared to the gorgeous special effects of Shikai and Bankai in the world of Bleach, Zabuza's Shikai seems relatively simple.
Except for the large amount of murderous aura lingering around him, the appearance of the beheading sword has not changed much.
"Don't die, Orochimaru!"
Zabuza smiled grimly.
Blood burst out, the ground collapsed, and he raised his sword!
In theory, a weapon as large as the beheading sword should be wielded with great force and weight.
This is how Zabuza played before, using the beheading sword as a heavy blade, dragging the sword, throwing the sword, and flying the sword, using his own cleverness.
In addition, the special ability of the beheading sword can also allow Zabuza to maintain sufficient physical strength to continue fighting.
However, the Zanpakuto version of the beheading sword is obviously different from the real beheading sword.
It is a sword born from Zabuza's soul, and the weight is only a matter of thought.
So, Orochimaru, who does not know the information, will suffer a great loss.
A small snake emerged from Orochimaru's long hair and quickly spit out a sword. He didn't care about the mucus on the sword and raised his hand to block the oncoming sword.
Clang!
The two swords collided, sparks burst!
Orochimaru's face changed.
It was not only because of Zabuza's huge strength, but he found that there were actually cracks on the sword.
This is the Kusanagi sword!
But facing the beheading sword in Zabuza's hand, it was like an ordinary sword of inferior quality, and the sword body trembled violently.
No, the sword is going to break!
Orochimaru immediately let go, and the beheading sword pressed the Kusanagi sword that was about to break and chopped it down directly. It wanted to chop off Orochimaru's head.
Only the blood of the strong can stimulate the beheading sword to release more power.
Zabuza's Zanpakuto ability is quite simple and crude. The first release is based on killing intent and blood, and the more you chop, the stronger it becomes.
Either kill the opponent to prolong life, or die from excessive blood loss.
A demon sword that may suck its owner to death.
It seems to be quite a match for the lonely ghost.
The beheading sword slashed down fiercely, and a puff of smoke exploded, and the wooden stakes left in place were blasted into dust by the sharp sword energy.
Substitution technique?
This simple ninjutsu can be used by students who have just graduated from the ninja school.
But it is used, and the role of the substitute technique used by different people is also different.
Ordinary students who have just graduated from the ninja school can only tremble and make hand seals in the face of the enemy. With this speed of making hand seals, they can't even catch up with the hot poop.
Even if their substitute technique is used, the enemy can find the transfer position in the first time.
Some elite ninjas can even use the traces of chakra to release ninjutsu at a fixed point.
During the Ninja World War, many fledgling ninjas were hit by a big fireball right after they used the Substitution Technique.
That smell is so delicious that you can just sprinkle some cumin on it and go out to the stall.
And ninjas of Orochimaru's level can exert impressive power even with simple ninjutsu.
In battle, they no longer consider high-level and powerful ninjutsu, but to achieve the greatest tactical effect with the least consumption.
After all, even if they are shadows, if they are not family ninjas of the Uzumaki clan or the Senju clan, they also have to consider the problem of chakra consumption.
For example, the sixth generation Hokage has a 50-50 ratio of white hair.
Lack of blue is the norm, and it is 50-50.
Although Orochimaru does not consume chakra like Hatake Kakashi all the time, which causes him to often lack blue.
But now his body is not the original body that he originally trained with great difficulty.
Instead, it is a female body that he parasitizes through the secret technique of reincarnation.
This body is far from reaching the peak of ninja, so the chakra extracted is naturally not much.
This may be part of the reason why Orochimaru in the original timeline chose the first and second generations who had died in the Impure World Reincarnation to assist in the battle, instead of choosing to fight head-on.
How could Orochimaru, a "delicate" "woman", be the opponent of the old and strong Third Hokage?
Let alone the old monkey wielding the ape stick, the strong young man Zabuza is not something that Orochimaru can bear now.
"Hehehe, the way you invite people is a bit special."
Orochimaru's voice was hoarse, and his snake pupils were erected.
These two people in black robes reminded him of some not-so-good memories.
Especially. Being tied to a cross and in the Tsukuyomi space for three days and three nights.
Orochimaru's eyes turned cold.
Zabuza carried the knife and grinned.
"You're quite a runner."
As soon as the words fell, endless blood burst out, and the murderous aura made Zabuza's eyes a little red, just like Uchiha's Sharingan.
But there was no magatama rotating in his eyes.
He raised the sword, the ground sank, and the next moment, he had rushed in front of Orochimaru.
Orochimaru's pupils shrank.
The speed was much faster than before, and there was no time to make a seal!
The beheading sword cut in half, and the fragile ninja body had no way to block this attack.
Will he die? !
The next moment, the sword light penetrated the vision, and the scarlet murderous aura surged into his heart.
The sword energy splashed, a large amount of soil collapsed and disintegrated, and tall trees broke.
For a time, birds and beasts ran, and the mountains and forests surged!
Blood and murderous aura rushed straight to the sky.
The candidates in the Death Forest involuntarily stiffened in place and stopped their movements.
The ninja's keen fighting instinct detected something strange coming from the depths of the Death Forest.
On the periphery, the Konoha ninjas who were waiting for reinforcements couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Look! What is that?"
"Where are the reinforcements? Haven't they arrived yet?!"
When the second examiner, Mitarashi Anko, felt the triggering of the curse seal, she immediately ordered her subordinates to find the Third Hokage for reinforcements, and then entered the Death Forest alone.
After all, the enemy she faced was likely an S-level rebel ninja.
Her subordinates entered the examination room and played a role that was almost the same as that of the candidates taking the exam.
They were all just sending themselves to die.
No one knew how terrifying Orochimaru's strength was.
Including Anko herself.
She had prepared for many years for the forbidden technique that could kill Orochimaru together, but she didn't even hit the target.
She had already fallen under the power of Orochimaru's curse seal.
Now, the reinforcements of the Hokage are on their way.
In fact, the Third Hokage had no intention of sending elite troops to reinforce. With Orochimaru's character, by the time they knew that he was in the Forest of Death, Orochimaru himself would have left the Forest of Death long ago.
The support sent there was doomed to be in vain.
As Orochimaru's teacher, the Third Hokage knew very well how difficult his rebellious disciple was.
He might not be the strongest among the three ninjas, but he was definitely the most survivable.
Thinking of Orochimaru's amazing ideas at the time, the Third Hokage couldn't help but sigh.
His disciple chose to show up in the Chunin Joint Exam.
Was he trying to show him the right path he had chosen?
However, before the Third Hokage could take a few puffs of cigarettes to relieve his boredom, the Forest of Death triggered new changes.
And this change was extremely obvious.
Looking at the red light column that reached the sky outside the office window, the Third Hokage's pipe fell to the ground with a ding-dong sound.
What's going on here? !
Could it be that among the Genin of other ninja villages, there is a strong man who is as powerful as Orochimaru? !
The third Hokage was stunned.
He originally thought that he and the Sand Village were shameless for throwing the One-Tail Jinchuriki and the Nine-Tail Jinchuriki into the Chunin Joint Exam.
Unexpectedly, this group of small ninja villages were even more shameless than their big ninja villages.
Could it be that they sent their own Kages in? !
Are they really so afraid of the new generation of geniuses from Konoha and the Sand Village?
No one knows the complex emotions of the third Hokage.
On the other side, in the depths of the Death Forest, the battle between Orochimaru and Zabuza has not ended yet.
Looking at Orochimaru who was cut in half on the ground.
Zabuza's expression did not change, the scarlet evil spirit further condensed, blood vessels bulged, and muscles all over his body swelled.
His battle is not over yet.
The beheading sword is still constantly absorbing his "blood", indicating that the enemy is still alive.
Moreover, as a god of death, how could he not see that Orochimaru was just pretending to be dead.
If he was really dead, his soul should have been taken away by Luke immediately.
Instead of staying in his body and curling up.
"Stop pretending, your body is not completely dead yet!"
As soon as the voice fell.
The upper part of the body suddenly began to move, and the chest rose and fell violently, as if there were active hands and feet stirring inside.
Then, the head with eyes open wide opened its mouth.
A complete human body was vomited out.
The sticky liquid wrapped around the human body, and the twisted human body twisted and turned, as if it was correcting its bones, with a constant clicking sound.
Bai Du, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but show a bit of surprise.
Can this kind of vitality really be regarded as a human being?
Zabuza also frowned.
He now understands why Luke said that this guy is very difficult to deal with.
How can a normal ninja be like this?
Cut off half of the body and not die, and can even spit out a fresh human body from the corpse.
Even the God of Ninja World back then, it is not so outrageous, right?
"It hurts, Mr. Zabuza."
Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and rolled a kunai.
The snake-style substitute technique uses the external body as a substitute and transfers itself from the mouth. There is no need to make a seal, and even Amaterasu can avoid it.
This is a masterpiece when he transformed his body.
Combined with his own soft body transformation, his survival ability is as tenacious as cutting off a long worm with a hundred legs but not dying.
The slash just now was really sharp and terrifying.
Even the Konoha White Fang back then did not have such a terrifying slash.
Orochimaru raised his snake pupils and looked at Zabuza.
It was hard for him to imagine that a guy who would soon die in tears when facing the siege of several Konoha senior ninjas a few days ago could now burst out a slash that exceeded White Fang.
Although it is true that White Fang died a bit miserably, his strength and fame were earned step by step from the battlefield of Sand Village.
"If you see XX ninja, you can immediately abandon the mission, and the ninja village will not pursue the responsibility."
This sentence can be said to be the fourth generation Hokage, and it can also be used to say White Fang.
The former relied on the exaggerated record of fifty kills in an instant on the battlefield with the Flying Thunder God Technique, while the latter relied on the reputation of the sword in his hand.
In this era, the strength of the strongest samurai Mifune is only equivalent to that of an elite jonin.
Hatake Sakumo, one man and one sword, created a reputation that was more powerful than the three ninjas.
It is hard to imagine that this guy is the same style as other samurai.
Even though many samurai today have mastered the power of chakra, none of them can reach the level of Hatake Sakumo.
To be honest, the third Hokage regretted it not long after forcing Hatake Sakumo to death.
Although it is true that Sakumo's achievements did threaten their status as Konoha's F4, his strength can indeed bring great confidence to Konoha.
This feeling of regret, especially after all the three ninjas left Konoha, was magnified to the maximum.
So much so that the third Hokage placed some hope on Hatake Kakashi.
However, from Naruto to the end of Boruto, Hatake Kakashi did not become another Hatake Sakumo.
However, it also reflects the terrifying Hatake Sakumo.
Now, after many years, Orochimaru once again witnessed this terrifying slash.
And the opponent's slash is likely to be stronger than White Fang's back then.
Good news: Orochimaru has seen a higher level of slash.
Bad news: It's not a teammate, it's an enemy.
"Zabuza first."
Orochimaru wanted to say more.
Zabuza had already rushed up with a knife in a menacing manner.
This time, the blood on his body was more intense, and the beheading sword tasted the blood of the strong.
He was completely excited.
Crazy!
Orochimaru cursed inwardly.
There was no way, so he clapped his hands on the ground.
"Ninjutsu·Five-fold Rashomon!"
Black runes spread and gathered to form a magic circle, and five gloomy and thick ghost gates were quickly generated.
However, a scene that made Orochimaru a little horrified appeared.
Five Rashomons that were enough to block S-level forbidden techniques were actually smashed into the first two by the blood-filled beheading sword!
Is this slash really something that humans can use? !
Not only that, it is only a matter of time before the remaining three are completely destroyed.
Looking at the crazy Zabuza whose eyes were completely covered by endless blood, Orochimaru's face suddenly changed.
He subconsciously wanted to use earth escape to escape underground, but after making a seal, he found that something was wrong with his lower body.
He looked down and saw that the ground and his feet were frozen together.
It was that boy!
When did it freeze?
Orochimaru was stunned.
As I said before, Bai Nuanxue may not be as powerful as Hitsugaya Toushirou's strongest ice-type Zanpakutō, Hyorinmaru.
But in some aspects, it is slightly better.
When he looked up again, the last scene Orochimaru saw was Zabuza, who looked like a demon, cutting off his head with one sword.
I didn't expect to enter the sleeping period here early.
With this thought, Orochimaru fell into endless darkness.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but at the last moment when he lost consciousness.
It seemed that he heard a man's chuckle.
"I almost let you run away" (End of this chapter)
