Chapter 62: Three Tails
On the outside, Sasuke and Sakura had become paralyzed after experiencing a tremendous amount of bloodlust.
"Who the hell are you?!" Sasuke shouted. He had already experienced something like this before during his encounter with Zabuza. But this one felt even more intense.
This told him that the person in front of them was even more dangerous than he previously thought.
Burnt pieces of fake flesh fell off her face, revealing the visage of a man hiding beneath.
Her voice changed to a more masculine tone.
"My name is Orochimaru, and if you want to see me again, you have to pass this test..."
"What are you talking about?! Why would we want to see you again?" Sakura exclaimed. She just wanted to get as far away as possible from this bizarre person.
"It won't go that way..." Orochimaru made a hand sign and prepared to make his move, but then...
A violent surge of energy erupted from Naruto's previously unconscious body.
It lifted him into the air and covered him with a coat of red chakra.
His face became more feral-looking, the marks on his cheeks were more prominent now, and when he opened his eyes, they showed a pair of vertical red slits.
"Naruto?" Sakura stared at him with confusion. She did not understand what was happening to him.
Sasuke was the same. "What happened to him?!, what is that that chakra?!" He did not need his Sharingan to know that this chakra did not belong to Naruto.
Orochimaru was the only one who truly understood what was happening, even if it didn't make sense to him.
When he looked up, he saw Naruto opening his mouth. A bright sphere of energy formed from it.
"You have to be kidding me..." Orochimaru let go of his snakes and moved away without wasting a second.
He barely avoided being hit by the blast of concentrated chakra that destroyed everything in its path.
Orochimaru's patience had reached its limit now.
"Fine....I'll kill you then." He knew this would make things more difficult for him in the future. But nothing was more important than securing the Uchiha's body.
A sword came out of his mouth before it was secured in his right hand.
"You left me no choice, brat..."
After firing that blast, Naruto fell to his knees. His body continued to be consumed by the toxic chakra and it was obvious that it was not going to last much longer, even if it was left alone.
Orochimaru lifted the blade and prepared to end this in one attack.
"Over there!"
"I see them!"
This was the last thing he wanted to hear.
"They found us already?!" He expected the examiners to show up after feeling the Kyubi's chakra, but they were found too fast.
It was then he saw it...a short distance away, there was a tall cloud of red smoke. This was used as a distress signal.
"But who could..." His eyes moved to Naruto.
That boy was the only one who could have done it. He never took his eyes off the other two genins after all.
This meant that from the beginning, Naruto never expected to win against him. He had only been buying time.
Orochimaru wasn't sure if he felt more impressed or angry at the boy who had ruined his plans.
"I'll get you for this..."
