The sound of metal collisions suddenly rang out in the woods at night.

With the help of the wind escape coat, the wind blade in Shangguan Mo's hand was so fast that only a blurry afterimage was left. The bright sword light and the crescent moon in the sky complemented each other, bringing Orochimaru a different scene of murderous intent like a sea tide.

He only felt the cold and piercing murderous intent in Shangguan Mo's sword light!

Buzz!

The wind blade in Shangguan Mo's hand was waving quickly, and it was wrapped in front of him to form a bright and airtight wall of light and shadow.

After several collisions, Orochimaru's expression has changed a little, no longer as careless as before.

Since he got the Kusanagi sword, he has almost never been at a disadvantage in the physical collisions with other ninjas. The only time was when he fought with Hanzo, the leader of the Hidden Rain Village, a few years ago.

At that time, he and Jiraiya and Tsunade fought against the demigod of the ninja world, but in the end they got the humiliating title of "Three Ninjas", which made him always feel uneasy.

But now, holding the sharp Kusanagi sword, he was beaten so badly by a young junior that he couldn't even fight back.

Although this was related to the mysterious escape technique of the big yellow dog that burned half of his body and greatly reduced his physical function, it was enough to show that Shangguan Mo's own strength should not be underestimated.

"No!"

As if he thought of something, Orochimaru's expression suddenly shook, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him who was attacking crazily.

He had discovered before that Shangguan Mo was always covered with a thin veil, and Orochimaru felt a gentle breeze on his face many times during close contact.

But wrapped in this soft veil, Shangguan Mo not only became as fast as the wind, but even the ordinary standard kunai in his hand could not be cut off by his Kusanagi sword.

Orochimaru once again thought of the dark fire that flashed on Shangguan Mo's body before he released the fire escape and what he said before.

"Is this the Ruyi Bug..."

He gritted his teeth secretly.

At that time, the small bug that showed its shape in the orange firelight could actually have such a great boost for a jonin. Whether it was ninjutsu or close combat, the bug that could not be any smaller provided great help to Shangguan Mo, which allowed Shangguan Mo, a young man of only seventeen years old, to fight against the injured himself head-on, and even suppressed himself faintly!

"What a good plan..."

With a suppressed anger on his face, Orochimaru wanted to laugh.

He was completely misled by Shangguan Mo's previous words. He thought Shangguan Mo was just bluffing and wanted to delay time to recover his chakra.

But unexpectedly, Shangguan Mo was actually showing weakness to the enemy!

"But, you don't have much chakra left, how long can you maintain this state?"

He laughed coldly in his heart, and there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes when he looked at Shangguan Mo.

......

"So smooth..."

Seeing that Orochimaru's body was like plasticine and dodged his slash again in an inhuman posture, Shangguan Mo's face changed slightly.

After a few minutes of direct physical combat, Shangguan Mo's physical strength only showed a slight decrease, but with the increase of Ahri and the recovery of the [Cell Division] ability of the Black Heart Slug, Shangguan Mo didn't have to worry about his physical strength for the time being.

[Cell Division]: The Black Heart Slug has the ability to divide cells, and its carrier shares this ability with it. Moreover, the carrier of the Black Heart Slug can absorb the cells it divides to quickly restore body functions.

Shangguan Mo knows that the so-called body functions are actually just physical strength.

With the existence of [Cell Division], Shangguan Mo has enough confidence to fight Orochimaru in close combat for a long time.

But the key is that his chakra is about to bottom out again!

Even with only the most shallow layer of wind escape chakra coat and [Wind escape. Attachment], Shangguan Mo's chakra recovery speed cannot keep up with the current expenditure!

In other words, if he cannot take down Orochimaru or force him back in a short time, Shangguan Mo's current advantage will immediately disappear.

"What to do!"

Shangguan Mo was secretly anxious.

The wind blade in his hand still danced into phantoms, but the wind-attributed aura at the tip became slightly dim.

Orochimaru had gradually become familiar with the offensive rhythm of the young man in front of him, and could even make appropriate counterattacks.

The corners of his narrow mouth were now wide open, and his extremely thin lips made him look extremely cold, like a snake without any human emotions.

Steadily blocking Shangguan Mo's straight chop, Orochimaru suddenly raised his right foot and kicked out, but just as he was about to kick Shangguan Mo's abdomen, he was dodged by a light retreat.

"What amazing flexibility!"

He couldn't help but feel a little emotional, but Orochimaru knew that Shangguan Mo's ability to react so quickly was not entirely due to the blessing of the summoned beast.

The battle had reached this point, and Orochimaru had already seen it clearly.

The young man's summoned beasts could only increase his physical strength, chakra, and ninjutsu. Although this was already amazing enough, Orochimaru didn't care much about it.

Just like what Shangguan Mo said before.

Although his summoned beasts could provide great bonuses for him, for a ninja of his level, the combat power they could actually provide was almost negligible.

With their strength, even if their ninjutsu, chakra, and physical skills were increased by two or three levels, it would not be of much help to their combat power, especially when facing opponents of the same strength. Shangguan Mo's summoned beasts' bonuses were not taken seriously by him.

As an elite jonin of Konoha, Orochimaru's eyes have always been on the [Kage] or Jinchūriki in the five major villages.

In his opinion, only those with this level of strength are worthy of being his opponents.

But once a ninja's strength reaches the level of Orochimaru, if he wants to improve his strength or combat effectiveness, it is not something that can be accomplished by just chakra and physical strength, or a little increase in the power of ninjutsu.

It can even be said that these aspects have already made little difference to their combat effectiveness.

Unless they can reach the extreme in a certain aspect!

For example, the amount of chakra of the Jinchūriki, the poison and swordsmanship of Hanzo of the Salamander, the strength and defense of the Third Raikage, and even the young rising star of Konoha, Minato Namikaze, who has mastered the [Flying Thunder God Technique]! That can also be said to be the fastest ninja in the ninja world!

Only by reaching the extreme in a certain aspect can the strength of a ninja of Orochimaru's level change again.

In addition to this, only the speed of nerve reaction or some special forbidden techniques or secret techniques, such as the [Immortal Reincarnation] that he has always been thinking about, can make Orochimaru's strength go further.

In other words, what really surprised Orochimaru at this time was that Shangguan Mo had the ability to fight Orochimaru head-on with only a 20% to 30% increase in chakra, physical fitness and the power of ninjutsu!

Even though he was injured, he was one of the three famous ninjas in the ninja world!

This was the fundamental reason why he felt cold in his heart!

"This boy must not be left!"

His eyes changed with the boundless murderous intent that suddenly rose in his heart. A fierce look flashed in Orochimaru's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and made this decision secretly.

He had such strength at such a young age, and he had made enemies with Konoha and even himself. No matter how he looked at it, Orochimaru felt that he must not leave this trouble for the village or himself!

You know, Shangguan Mo is a person who uses summoned beasts as his main combat power and is called a [Summoning Ninja] in the ninja world!
