Konoha, was reported by the Fourth Hokage at the beginning

Chapter 280 Battle with Orochimaru

Boom boom!

In the distance, low roars continued to be heard.

Among the branches of the lush forest, a group of nine ninjas wearing green vests were heading in the direction of the roar. They were the ninjas who came to rescue Konoha.

The leader was Orochimaru, who was known as the Sannin of Konoha.

"You can hear it from such a distance..."

"Did the sand ninja send out the tailed beast?"

A Konoha ninja behind Orochimaru said with a solemn expression.

Such a distant roar and the shock coming from the ground were very similar to the sound of some kind of giant creature wreaking havoc on the ground.

This kind of movement is very familiar to them.

When the Sannin summoned the huge psychic beast to fight, they also felt this earthquake-like movement in the distance.

The sand ninja didn't have huge psychic beasts, so the only ones that could cause such a movement were the tailed beasts.

"Sage mode? Or what?"

As the branches moved forward, Orochimaru kept slightly raising his head and looking into the sky. He felt that the natural energy was flowing forward like flowing streams.

In this case, either someone in front is condensing the immortal mode, or there is something absorbing natural energy.

And the amount of absorption is still very large, otherwise the phenomenon of natural energy flow would not occur.

"interesting!"

Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue. As one of the rare geniuses in the ninja world who can sense natural energy, and as a psychic contractor of the three major psychic beast holy places - Ryūchi Cave, he is very aware of the power of natural energy.

It's just that being able to perceive natural energy is one thing, and absorbing natural energy is another.

Natural energy has an extremely terrifying natural assimilation ability. Once it is absorbed rashly, it will be assimilated into a part of nature and die.

Even if there was a way to activate Sage Mode in Ryūchi Cave, Orochimaru never dared to try it, which shows how terrifying it is to absorb natural energy.

Now a thing that can absorb natural energy for fighting suddenly appears, whether it is a human or other instrument, Orochimaru is very interested.

Immortal magic is also a power he has always longed to control.

Soon.

The roar disappeared.

Orochimaru and his party also came out of the forest and saw the black Shukaku standing in the ruins at the bottom of the cliff.

"Shukaku?"

"No, Shukaku is not like that."

At first glance, Orochimaru thought it was Shukaku, but not only was the color wrong, but the feeling it gave him was also wrong, not the way he felt when facing a tailed beast.

But none of this matters anymore.

Because he had already sensed that the end point of the natural energy flow around him was the black Shukaku monster.

Apparently, the Shukaku-like black monster is the guy who absorbs natural energy.

This was the first time Orochimaru saw something that could absorb natural energy and fight at the same time.

Is it a psychic beast?

Orochimaru guessed in his mind.

Natural energy is too corrosive to the human body and cannot be controlled, so we can only absorb the required amount and then stop, and then use natural energy.

Even the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, could only absorb a large amount of natural energy in an instant and condense it into senjutsu chakra, and then immediately stop absorbing natural energy. He could not turn on sage mode and absorb natural energy at the same time.

That monster can actually do things that the original version couldn't.

Whatever that black monster is.

If he can capture it and study it carefully, maybe he can master the immortal mode.

Orochimaru stretched out his tongue and licked it, staring at the black Shukaku in the distance with burning eyes, leaping forward, biting his thumb at the same time, pressing it down, and black magic lines condensed out.

"Psychicism!"

Bang!

In mid-air, a large cloud of white smoke suddenly exploded, and a huge, winding figure sprang out of it. It was Orochimaru's psychic beast, the Ten Thousand Snakes.

"Orochimaru...um...what the hell is that?"

As soon as Wan She came out, he wanted to reprimand Orochimaru, but when he saw the black monster that looked like Shukaku not far away, he was constantly absorbing natural energy, and he was instantly shocked.

Natural energy is not energy that everyone can absorb.

Even the psychic beasts born in the three psychic beast holy places need special methods to absorb natural energy, and they cannot absorb it all the time, otherwise they will be assimilated by the natural energy.

As a result, now, the black guy opposite is constantly absorbing the surrounding natural energy, and he is still fighting. "How did you do it?"

A thought flashed through Wan She's mind, and then she twisted her body to avoid a wind bomb containing huge chakra.

"Such a big snake...is Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas."

Sunatetsu Shukaku's big eyes reveal a human look.

The scorpion hidden in Sunate Shukaku's belly moved. Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, should be able to test the power of the puppet's heart.

Bang Bang... Scorpion controlled the Sand Iron Shukaku to rush over. At the same time, he opened his big mouth and spit out condensed air-refining bombs.

Wan Snake looked at the incoming Sandetshukaku without fear. He twisted his body in a snake-like position to avoid the air-refining bombs, and rushed towards the Sandetshukaku.

"It's not magic, nor is it natural energy."

"Strange... Orochimaru, what happened to that guy?"

The ninjutsu released by the guy who absorbed natural energy was neither Senju Chakra nor natural energy. This made Wan She a little confused and asked Orochimaru who was standing above it.

"I also want to know."

Orochimaru subconsciously stuck out his long tongue again, his fiery eyes fixed on Sunatetsu Shukaku who was approaching quickly, and he quickly formed seals with his hands.

"Earth Escape-Swampland!"

The ground under Sunata Shukaku's feet instantly turned into a swamp, and his huge body suddenly fell into it due to the heavy weight.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wan She quickly twisted his body and swam over, tied up the sand iron Shukaku like a giant python, and strangled him hard.

"It hurts...so hard!!!"

After Wan She exerted her strength, she realized that the iron knot was too hard, and instead of strangling the opponent's body, her body was in pain.

"This is...not good!"

On the head of the snake, after close observation, Orochimaru finally realized what the black Shukaku was. It was clearly Shukaku made of sand iron. His expression immediately changed and he thought of the Sand Iron Control Ninjutsu of the Third Kazekage.

Orochimaru quickly reminded: "Get out of the way!"

There was no need for Orochimaru to remind him, Wan She also let go of the other person and was about to escape as soon as he realized how hard the other person was.

Zizizizi!

In an instant, countless sharp sand iron thorns protruded from the sand iron Shukaku's body, and more than a dozen holes appeared in Wan She's body in an instant.

bump!

Without the binding of Wan Snake, Scorpion controlled the sand iron Shukaku to jump hard and came to the swamp, looking at Wan Snake opposite and Orochimaru on his head.

None of the snakes were harmed.

"so close!"

Wan She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If it hadn't been for the timely use of the shedding technique to escape at the critical moment, it would have been pierced with more than a dozen big holes and died just like its own snake skin in the swamp.

"Great, it's a human being!"

Orochimaru looked at Sunatetsu Shukaku opposite, and the long tongue at the side of his mouth stuck out again unconsciously.

If you can use the magnetic escape sand iron control of the Third Kazekage, you must be a human.

This man can actually absorb natural energy and use ninjutsu at the same time. There must be some secret technique. If you catch him, you can find this secret technique.

"But...what about people?"

"Is it hidden inside?"

Orochimaru frowned. Unable to sense anyone around Sunatetsu Shukaku, Orochimaru turned his gaze to the chest of the big guy opposite, which is where natural energy gathers and flows.

It seems that the other party is hiding there.

"Here we come, Orochimaru!" Wan She suddenly reminded.

Opposite, the sand iron Shukaku controlled by Scorpion suddenly flashed with thunder and lightning, and opened its mouth wide.

Orochimaru's expression changed, and he immediately jumped off the top of the snake, bit his thumb again, and pressed it after landing.

"Psychic technique, the first level of Rashomon!"

Boom!

A thick door like hell burst out of the ground instantly.

Clang, clank... As soon as Rashomon appeared, densely packed long sand iron needles were shot out from the open mouth of the sand iron Shukaku, flashing with thunder and lightning, like a huge black rain curtain of flashing thunder and lightning falling several hundred meters ahead.

Chi chi chi... Under the attack of such dense sand iron needles, half a person's height of soil was cut off in just a few breaths.

Even Rashomon, which is known for its absolute defense, creaked and cracked under such an attack.
