Chương 95: Fierce Battle with Orochimaru in the Forest of Death!

"Mitarashi Anko is my teacher, and Orochimaru is Anko's teacher. So, in terms of seniority, he should be considered my grandmaster, right?"

Since the other party has come uninvited, wouldn't it be more in line with etiquette to visit the elders?

Of course, if given the opportunity, I wouldn't mind sending this elder to meet the past Hokage.

Anko is determined to kill Orochimaru, even willing to die with him. As Anko's prized student, Yang Cheng would naturally not mind helping her take revenge if given the chance.

Meanwhile, in the Forest of Death, Naruto's Team 7 was indeed targeted by Orochimaru shortly after entering the forest.

Naruto was first swallowed by a giant snake, and then Orochimaru released a single killing intent, instantly stunning the arrogant Sasuke.

Although Naruto and Sasuke, along with the seemingly useless Sakura, later went toe-to-toe with Orochimaru, the gap between C-rank and S-rank ninjas is still too large.

Zabuza, who couldn't even defeat Team 7 with a single water clone, was predictably brutally defeated by Orochimaru.

Sasuke got a snake kiss on the neck from Orochimaru, while Naruto got a stamp on his stomach.

However, just as Orochimaru was about to leave, he inexplicably felt a warning alarm going off in his heart. Sensing danger, he had just flashed away from where he had been standing when a figure, like a cannonball, crashed directly into the spot where he had just been standing from not far away.

Looking at the large tree that was snapped in two with a single blow, and the sand and dust that instantly rose up.

At first, Orochimaru thought that he had been exposed, so Konoha sent the Anbu to hunt him down.

But as the sandstorm gradually subsided, Yang Cheng's figure slowly appeared in front of Orochimaru, who was immediately stunned.

Although I managed to dodge the attack, the speed of the attacker and the tree that was snapped in two by a single blow clearly showed that the attacker's physical skills were quite high.

Orochimaru was wondering who in Konoha's Anbu possessed such a level of taijutsu, but when Yang Cheng appeared before him, he was truly stunned.

Because the person who attacked him was just a Konoha genin, and his age was only about the same as Uchiha Sasuke and the others.

The person who was just about to ambush him turned out to be a candidate in this Chunin Exam.

For someone of that age to possess such strength is already quite remarkable. Therefore, Orochimaru, far from being annoyed by the sneak attack, couldn't help but show a hint of appreciation in his eyes as he looked at Yang Cheng.

Orochimaru admired talented ninjas, so he couldn't help but feel a little interested in Yang Cheng.

His reasons for coming to Konoha this time were twofold: first, to destroy Konoha and kill his former teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi; Another purpose was to plot against the Uchiha clan's bloodline limit Sharingan, to make it a new vessel for his Undead Reincarnation.

"I never expected that there would be someone like you among the genin of Konoha. This is quite a surprise to me."

Unfortunately, if you're looking for a hunting target, your luck is pretty bad, because you've chosen one you have absolutely no chance of defeating.

Because of the Face-Changing Technique, Orochimaru no longer looks the same as before, so he believes that the Konoha genin in front of him is mistaking him for an ordinary Chunin Exam candidate.

Seeing Yang Cheng's impressive physical talent, Orochimaru originally intended to give him a little shock before planting a cursed seal on him, making him completely devoted to him.

To his surprise, the killing intent that had previously been able to completely intimidate Class 7 was utterly useless against Yang Cheng this time.

Not only was Yang Cheng not intimidated by Orochimaru's killing intent, but he also used the Shave technique combined with the Body Flicker Technique to deliver a punch directly to Orochimaru's face while Orochimaru was still in a daze.

"Whether we can win or not, we'll only know after we've fought!"

Orochimaru, who took a punch from Yang Cheng head-on, had his skin peel off like plaster from a wall.

At the same moment, his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string!

As Orochimaru crashed into a large tree and snapped it in two, he finally snapped out of his daze. At that moment, he formed hand seals and, as he flew backward, blew out a powerful spiral of wind from his mouth.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

As the strong wind howled in and swept away the branches and leaves in its path, Yang Cheng also formed hand seals and his chest bulged. The next second, he also spat out a pillar of fire from his mouth!

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

The flames collided with the strong wind in mid-air. The strong wind not only failed to extinguish the flames, but also fueled the fire, directly engulfing an area of tens of meters in flames.

Orochimaru was shocked to see the fire spreading. Although his breakthrough was only a C-rank mission, his strength and chakra reserves were enough that even an elite Chunin, let alone a Genin, should not be able to defeat him.

However, in the current situation, the opponent is using a C-rank fire jutsu, the power of which is in no way inferior to his own.

Furthermore, Orochimaru had assumed that the opponent was a ninja skilled in taijutsu, based on the taijutsu techniques they had previously displayed. He never expected that the opponent's ninjutsu level would also be so high!

"This is truly surprising. I never imagined that, apart from the orphans of the Uchiha clan, there would be such a genius among the new generation of Konoha."

Orochimaru licked his face with his tongue, now even more interested in Yang Cheng.

Unaffected by his own murderous genjutsu, his taijutsu and ninjutsu far surpass the level expected of a genin.

It can be said that Yang Cheng's current abilities far surpass those of Uchiha Sasuke, whom he had just met.

Although the fact that Orochimaru didn't have a bloodline limit left him somewhat disappointed.

However, this does not prevent him from leaving a curse mark on Yang Cheng and developing him into his loyal sycophant.

Kimimaro's body can't hold on much longer, and the Sound Four are too weak.

Orochimaru usually has very few impressive weapons when he goes out, besides Kabuto.

In Orochimaru's view, Yang Cheng, while unsuitable as a vessel, is quite suitable to be trained into a high-level fighter.

Seeing Yang Cheng use the Body Flicker Technique to pass through the sea of fire, Orochimaru also bit his finger and summoned a giant snake.

When Yang Cheng arrived in front of Orochimaru, a giant python emerged from the white mist, opened its blood-red maw, and bit down directly on Yang Cheng!

"Six Styles: Tempest Kick!"

Just as the giant python's foul-smelling maw was about to swallow Yang Cheng, a bright blue slash came out from under Yang Cheng's whip kick, and like slicing a watermelon, it instantly split the giant python in two!

Orochimaru looked surprised as he watched the summoned beast being instantly defeated, but the next second he also stretched out his right hand.

"Shadow Serpent Hand—!"
