"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Uchiha Sasuke leaped into the air and directly spewed out a blazing flame towards the water surface!
The flame instantly landed on the river, creating bursts of steam and heating the water, forcing Jiraiya and Naruto Uzumaki hidden underneath to emerge!
"What a hassle!"
Naruto Uzumaki sprang out immediately, and his hands quickly formed a hand seal: "Ninpo: Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
With his hand seals, countless densely packed shadow clones appeared on the river, rushing towards Uchiha Sasuke's direction!
"Such Chakra, it's really terrifying..."
Orochimaru looked at the shadow clones released by Naruto Uzumaki and even offered a compliment: "Almost catching up to that Akihara Kagura guy, huh?"
"You still have the mood to judge?"
Jiraiya appeared in front of Orochimaru, his hair dripping wet, his eyes still resolute: "Orochimaru, even for Naruto, this time I won't let you off!"
The words fell!
Jiraiya opened his mouth and spewed out torrents of oil!
This is oil refined using Chakra, which won't sink after encountering water and won't be counteracted by water release; instead, it will help the fire grow!
"An old trick..."
Orochimaru shook his head, still disdainful: "If it were Sage Mode, maybe I'd be wary, but with such a trick..."
"Fire Release: Great Flame Bomb!"
Jiraiya opened his mouth and spewed out a blaze!
The blaze instantly ignited the oil on the river!
"Idiot..."
Orochimaru sneered, completely indifferent to the blaze about to burn along with the flow of oil, clasped his hands together: "Jiraiya, have you forgotten? This is a river; the flow of oil is mixed with water, Water Release: Water Rushing Wave!"
The river's waves suddenly rolled, flowing towards Jiraiya's direction, with flames and oil surging towards Jiraiya along the current!
"..."
Jiraiya could only retreat awkwardly!
The two ninjutsu he painstakingly released were easily countered by Orochimaru's C-level ninjutsu, inevitably making things a bit troublesome!
This bastard...
Is he here to restrain him?
"Snakes will always restrain frogs."
Orochimaru spoke Jiraiya's inner thoughts and then looked at the situation on the other side of the battlefield: "Just like how Sharingan is born to restrain Tailed Beasts, even if Sasuke doesn't have a Mangekyo Sharingan, he can still restrain the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki..."
On the other side of the battlefield.
Naruto Uzumaki's shadow clones were obliterated by Uchiha Sasuke using Fire Release!
A red layer of Tailed Beast cloak suddenly appeared on Naruto Uzumaki's body, and his face became somewhat wide, teeth growing into two large fangs like a beast's!
"Nine-tails, huh..."
Uchiha Sasuke closed his eyes, recalling a conversation with the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, about the red Chakra cloak that always emerges on Naruto Uzumaki.
At that time, Namikaze Minato had a radiant smile on his face, as if entrusting everything to Uchiha Sasuke: "Sasuke, a Jinchuriki's life cannot be like an ordinary person's; all Jinchuriki will face discrimination. Naruto was undoubtedly ostracized by the village since childhood; finding a comrade like you who accepts him wasn't easy..."
"You idiot..."
Uchiha Sasuke reopened his eyes, sighing inwardly.
Because of this...
Naruto doesn't want to see him leave?
But...
Also because of this...
He chose to accept the traitorous ninja mission from Root to compete with Karin for the future position of Root Leader, so he could always be this idiot's comrade after revenge...
