"Orochimaru doesn't mean to stop at all, is there a problem?"
Chasing Orochimaru, Uchiha Itachi finally felt that something was wrong and was ready to give up the chase.
"Too late!"
Orochimaru in front seemed to see through Uchiha Itachi's mind and stopped and then shouted.
After the voice fell, Orochimaru's four men immediately surrounded Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi in four directions!
Shin-Sin-Mao-Yin-Jutsu!
"Ninjutsu — Four Purple Flame Formation!"
With the completion of the hand seals, a huge barrier immediately opened with the four men as the origin.
Four Purple Flame Formation, a kind of barrier type ninjutsu, requires four people to work together to activate. A rectangular barrier with purple transparent flame is opened in the four directions of east, west, south, and north. The barrier is covered with purple flames, which can't let people from the outside and people from the inside can't go out. Once they touch the four walls of the barrier, they will be burned by the flames.
"Orochimaru, in order to duel with me, there is no need to make such a big formation!"
Uchiha Itachi, who was in the barrier, also knew about the Four Purple Flame Formation, and then he pulled out the Odachi on his back and was ready to fight.
"Uchiha Itachi, it's rare for a smart person like you to be confused!"
"After you and Sasuke came to the Land of Rice, my purpose is no longer to establish my power in the Land of Rice, but to take your Sharingan!"
Orochimaru looked coldly at Uchiha Itachi, who was ready to fight, and laughed strangely.
"Want my Sharingan, let's see if you have the ability!"
Uchiha Itachi stepped out, and there seemed to be an explosion under his feet, and his figure turned into a black shadow and rushed out.
"So fast!"
That speed was as fast as thunder, and it attracted the admiration of Orochimaru and the other three.
Uchiha Itachi's figure almost instantly appeared behind Orochimaru, and then the Odachi in his hand fiercely slashed on Orochimaru's body!
Bang!
However, just when Uchiha Itachi was surprised that Orochimaru didn't react, Orochimaru suddenly turned into a white mist and disappeared.
"Shadow Clone?"
"How is this possible?!"
Not expecting that the Orochimaru in front of him was a clone, Uchiha Itachi's expression changed dramatically.
"Oh no, Sasuke is in danger!"
If the clone led him here, then Orochimaru's real body should be in the Daimyo Palace. Thinking of this, Uchiha Itachi's heart sank.
…
"Orochimaru is just so-so!"
"Well, look at how he runs faster than a snake. He really lives up to his name!"
"Maybe even I can defeat him …"
Orochimaru's appearance early in the morning, as well as the scene of Itachi fleeing upon seeing Uchiha, gave the officials of the Hōjō clan more topics to discuss, but most of them were mocking Orochimaru.
"How could Orochimaru be so weak!"
Listening to the officials bragging, Sasuke shook his head speechlessly.
"The Sharingan is mine!"
"Shadow Snake Limb!"
However, just as Sasuke muttered to himself, a loud shout sounded, and more than a dozen snakes quickly rushed toward Sasuke, and before Sasuke could react, the snakes had surrounded him like a rope!
This is Orochimaru's signature ninjutsu, several snakes hidden in the sleeves will attack the opponent unexpectedly, and the snakes will bite and entangle the enemy to deal with them, plus they are summoned, so they have more strength and wisdom than ordinary snakes, and they are advantageous in subduing the enemy.
"Terashima … How did you do this?"
The sudden turn of events caused the minds of the other officials to be in a state of chaos and shock. Their faces were also exceptionally pale.
"Did Terashima …"
The Daimyo Hōjō clan member's heart was in a mess at this moment, but fortunately, he still had a little bit of calmness left, and he quickly recovered from this chaos. For the time being, what he should pay attention to is not the cause of this matter, but to save his life first!
Then he and the others quickly stepped back, ready to escape at any time!
"Did he use Facial Elimination Jutsu?
As expected of Orochimaru! "
Staring at Terashima who attacked him, Sasuke, who was trapped by the snakes, instantly reacted.
This is a cold-blooded ninjutsu that takes other people's appearance as one's own, because it is a real human face, there is no flaw.
In the anime, Orochimaru used this ninjutsu to pretend to be a Kusanagi and sneak into the Chunin exam. When the victim was found, he had already become a corpse without a face.
"Orochimaru, you are really good, lurking around the Daimyo, and today you led my brother away, I didn't expect that I was your target!"
Taking a deep breath, Sasuke sorted out his thoughts, and finally understood!
"Hey, Sasuke, don't be afraid, I won't kill you now, you will become my reincarnation vessel!"
Easily successful, Terashima's face was full of smiles, and his narrow eyes flashed with cunning coldness.
"Your plan is perfect, but you found the wrong person!"
Listening to Sasuke's stubborn words, Terashima couldn't help but smile, and just as he was about to speak, his face suddenly changed, he saw Sasuke, who was bound by the snakes, turned into a wooden stake with a talisman stuck on it.
"What happened?"
"He turned into a wooden stake?"
Hōjō and others who were about to escape were shocked, and their faces were full of disbelief as if they saw a ghost.
"Substitution Jutsu?"
Terashima's pupils also shrank at this time, and his eyes were fixed on the wooden stake.
"Don't be careless at this time!"
A low voice sounded from behind, and Sasuke, who appeared behind Terashima, waved his Kunai!
"Taijutsu is good!"
Terashima sneered, jumped in the air, turned around, and stabbed Sasuke with his Kunai. The Kunai brought with it a strong wind, enveloping Sasuke.
After experiencing many life and death battles, Sasuke's body moved like a ghost in the face of Orochimaru's fierce attack, and faintly, there seemed to be afterimages following him, making it impossible to predict his dodging trajectory.
"Hey, this kid is quite strong!"
Seeing that Sasuke was not directly killed by Orochimaru, Hōjō's eyes lit up.
Terashima's attack was fierce, and Sasuke, relying on the taijutsu taught by Waterstop, kept dodging the fierce attacks from Terashima.
The two people who were fighting, both of them pushed their speed to the limit, and Hōjō and others could only see two blurry shadows flashing in front of them like a whirlwind, and their faces were full of shock.
"I told you to dodge!"
"Hidden Shadow Multiple Snake Hand!"
After a long battle without any results, Terashima's eyes turned cold, and he waved his arm, and dozens of fierce snakes crazily drilled out, and soon caught up with Sasuke's ghost-like figure.
