70 The Rescue Mission Battle Part 4

Naruto stared at Orochimaru who stood in front of him with a smile.

"I did not think Sasuke-kun will improve soo much in such a short time…" Orochimaru said.

"…" Naruto was silent.

"Back in the forest, I did not get to fight against you in my full power, as I preferred to keep a low profile since I did not want to alert anyone…" Orochimaru said.

"Yeah Right!" Naruto commented.

Orochimaru frowned.

"How did you know that I will be here today?" Orochimaru asked.

"That's none of your business!"

"All you need to know is that I am going to stop you from whatever it is you are going to do…"

"Killing the Kazekage, manipulating Sasuke to desire for power…"

"No matter what you will do,"

"I will be there to stop you!" Naruto declared…

"Its funny how you remind me of a man that I know…" Orochimaru said.

Naruto thought back to how Jiraiya was also similar to him…

Naruto tried to bring back Sasuke from choosing a wrong path when he went rogue, while Jiraiya also tried to stop Orochimaru from going down the wrong path.

< Nine-tails mode! >

A bright red chakra surrounded Naruto who was clad in a bright yellow chakra suit.

"hehe!" Orochimaru snickered.

< Rasengan! > Naruto powered up a Rasengan on his right hand.

"A Rasengan right of the bat, eh?" Orochimaru murmured.

(Whoosh!) Naruto threw the Rasengan towards Orochimaru.

("Shit!") Orochimaru exclaimed as he tried to dodge the Rasengan.

(Whoosh!) The Rasengan flew past the place Orochimaru was previously standing in…

Orochimaru recovered his expression as he watched the Rasengan go past the place where he was standing in.

"You…" Orochimaru groaned in an angry voice.

(BOOOMMMM!!!!)

Orochimaru was sent flying, as he hit the ground multiple times before finally sliding a few meters and coming to a stop.

("WHAT?") Orochimaru screamed in his mind.

Naruto stared at Orochimaru getting up, as though he had not received much of a damage.

("As expected.")

("He was always a tough one!") Naruto thought.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru had a shocked expression flash across his face.

("The boy has an excellent control over his chakra!")

("Most jounins would find it hard to control the chakra that was released from their body, but this boy….")

("He controls it as though it is second nature….") Orochimaru thought as he observed Naruto from top to bottom carefully.

"Looks like I have underestimated you…." Orochimaru said in a low voice to Naruto.

(Whoosh!)

The wind started to howl around the area as Orochimaru released his battle intent.

"Hmph!" Naruto snorted at Orochimaru, feeling no pressure whatsoever.

(Whoosh!)

A massive cloud of sand appeared at the spot where Orochimaru had left.

Naruto looked around the desert in search of Orochimaru's body which was moving at an extremely high speed…

Soon he spotted Orochimaru whose waist below was that of a snake that helped him to move around on the sand easily…

(Whoosh!)

Naruto appeared behind Orochimaru and sent a colossal chakra hand to chase after him.

(bang!)

The sand caved in, in the spot where Naruto had just hit.

("Damn!") Naruto cursed upon finding out he had missed Orochimaru.

"Stop running away!" Naruto shouted as he chased after Orochimaru.

Orochimaru frowned upon hearing this sentence, but that did not slow him down…

On the contrary, he further increased his speed…

("That's it!") Naruto gave up on chasing Orochimaru, following which he reached into the pocket.

"Hmm?" Orochimaru turned back to see if Naruto was following him…

< Flying Thunder God Level 2! >

(BOOOOOMM!!!!!!) Orochimaru was sent to the ground upon receiving a punch from Naruto who appeared behind him.

"Gotcha!" Naruto shouted excitedly.

However, the next moment Naruto frowned as he stared at the mangled Orochimaru in the ground turning into Earth.

< Earth Release - Shadow Clone! >

Orochimaru reappeared right in front of Naruto after popping back into existence from the mud and placed his palm over Naruto's head.

< Genjutsu! >

Naruto went into a daze, following which Orochimaru entered Naruto's psyche.

...…..

The world appeared pitch black…

From what Orochimaru could see…

He could faintly make out a huge creature was standing before him…

GGRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

Kurama snarled at Orochimaru.

"Hehe!" Orochimaru smirked at Kurama.

"You dare to laugh in front of me!" Kurama said as he unraveled his complete killing intent on Orochimaru.

("Why is there no seal here…?") Orochimaru thought while having zero regards for Kurama.

Kurama was angered.

(Bang!) Kurama crushed Orochimaru, following which Orochimaru returned back to his body.

"Ugh!" Orochimaru felt a splitting headache.

Meanwhile, Naruto recovered.

Naruto jumped into the air following which he stretched out his right hand.

< Wind Release - Rasenshuriken! >

A massive ball of spinning Shuriken appeared in Naruto's hand.

Hah!

Naruto threw the Rasenshuriken at Orochimaru.

("What?") Orochimaru stared at the incoming Rasenshuriken.

Orochimaru quickly brought a finger to his mouth and bit on it, following which he placed his palm on the ground.

(Poof!)

A huge cloud of smoke appeared.

Naruto frowned upon seeing the new development.

(Bang!) a sound of Iron getting hit was heard followed by the sound of multiple small attacks on the iron.

The cloud of smoke vanished upon the landing of the Rasenshuriken, revealing a huge gate.

It was a single Rashomon…

...

Hah!

Hah!

Hah!

Hah!

Orochimaru breathed in and out heavily as he stared at the cracks that appeared on the other side of the gate.

(Poof!) The Rashomon disappeared, revealing a worn out Orochimaru.

—————————————

On the other side of the battlefield.

Rasa stared at the Third Kazekage who had an emotionless look across his eyes, as he raised his hand towards Rasa.

Soon, the wind started to howl as black color dust began to gather in front of the Third Kazekage…

The black colored dust was iron sand which then transformed into a bunch of small needles that was scattered across space.

<Iron Sand - Scattered Showers! >

The Third Kazekage commanded upon which the Iron needles shot off towards Rasa.

(Boom!)

A vast wall of golden sand, rose from below the ground to block the assault from the needles.

Rasa let out the breath he was holding while gathering the gold underground.

("That was close!") Rasa thought as his sand wall lowered to the ground revealing the Third Kazekage with a blank expression across his face.

("Looks like he doesn't react too quickly…") Rasa thought as his gold dust completely lowered to the ground.

("There's only one way to find out!") Rasa thought as he transformed his gold dust into thousands of small needles and sent them in an incredible speed towards The Third Kazekage.

(CHK!)

(CHK!) (CHK!) (CHK!) (CHK!)

Sounds of being pierced were being echoed across the area, tearing apart the Third Kazekage's body….

"Haha!" Rasa was somewhat relieved to see that the body was destroyed.

He heaved a sigh of relief and turned back to walk away.

(Rustle!)

Rasa stopped in place and turned back.

One by one matter from the surrounding gathered to reform the Third Kazekage…

"What the…." Rasa stood with a shocked expression

———————————————

Kimimaro stared at the Chidori that was taking shape in Sasuke's hand.

("What Jutsu is this?")

("His thunder natured chakra was already troublesome, now he has his entire chakra compressed into that hand?") Kimimaro stared at Sasuke.

(Whoosh!) Sasuke got up and charged towards Kimimaro like a jet stream.

Kimimaro raised both his hands towards Sasuke.

< Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets! >

Kimimaro announced as the tip of all his ten fingers opened up to release the top part of his finger bone like a bullet from a gun.

(Whoosh!)

(Whoosh!) (Whoosh!)

(Whoosh!) (Whoosh!) (Whoosh!)

Sasuke slipped past all the finger bullets by using his Sharingan to react to them.

Kimimaro frowned, following which he started releasing bullets at a quicker pace.

(Whoosh!)

(Whoosh!) (Whoosh!)

(Whoosh!) (Whoosh!) (Whoosh!)

Sasuke kept slipping past the flying bones like a tiny fish through a net, Barely managing to avoid contact with the bones.

"AAHHHHH!!!!!" Kimimaro shouted in a frenzy as he continued to fire,

Sasuke's battle intent rose to his peak, as he concentrated at arriving before Kimimaro at all costs, despite which he dodged all the bullets perfectly.

(Boom!) Sasuke landed right in front of Kimimaro…

("This is the power of his Kekkei Genkai, huh?") Kimimaro stared at the incoming Chidori…

(BOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
