"Looks like he won't give up until we have a proper fight!"
Jin sighed and took out a bottle of energy potion, tilting his head back to gulp it down. Facing an opponent like Orochimaru, Jin doubted he'd have another chance to drink an energy potion if he didn't go all out.
Although Orochimaru couldn't see the energy potion, he could sense that Jin's condition had returned to its peak!
"What a powerful ability!"
Orochimaru narrowed his snake-like eyes, his hands slowly reaching for the pockets at his waist. Jin's right hand also trembled slightly, and a spacetime kunai silently fell from his sleeve into his hand.
Almost simultaneously, two streaks of black light ripped through the sky, colliding fiercely!
"Clang!"
The delicate shuriken fell to the ground, but Orochimaru reached out and shot another shuriken at Jin. At the same time, Orochimaru pushed off with his feet, chasing after the shuriken, closing in on Jin.
Whether it was the speed or the power of the shuriken, the pressure Orochimaru exerted on Jin was completely different from that of the other weaklings!
"Come back!"
The spacetime kunai returned to Jin's hand, but Orochimaru's shuriken was simply too fast. Jin didn't have time to fire a second kunai and could only barely use it to parry Orochimaru's shuriken.
However, almost simultaneously, Orochimaru had already appeared in front of Jin.
"Snake-Sheep-Monkey-Boar-Horse-Tiger!"
Orochimaru's childish hands quickly formed hand seals, and he suddenly opened his mouth wide, scorching flames erupting from his throat.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Damn it!"
Orange-red flames rushed towards him, and Jin's eyes widened in shock.
Even though he had tried his best to dodge, he was still hit by the Great Fireball's flames...
"Sizzle~"
A faint smell of roasted meat wafted through the air, and Jin's entire arm was burned.
As expected of Orochimaru, although the completion rate wasn't very high, at only five years old, he could use such an exaggerated ninjutsu. In this era, he was indeed a genius.
However, after releasing this C-rank ninjutsu... Orochimaru was also slightly out of breath. Seeing this, Jin quickly opened another treasure chest, took out an energy potion, and drank it down.
Orochimaru frowned slightly at this.
However, he didn't say anything; the battle had only just begun…
From then on, Jin was almost constantly on Orochimaru's heels. In both strength and speed, Orochimaru was a cut above Jin. Adding to this the occasional D-rank ninjutsu, Jin had to open ten treasure chests to barely keep going.
"Huff, huff, huff…"
Even Orochimaru was exhausted by this point.
"As expected, Orochimaru is still too strong!"
Jin shook his head helplessly. He had already used ten energy potions in such a short time.
Continuing like this would only lead to further losses.
Should he admit defeat?
For a moment, Jin was conflicted!
Just then, Orochimaru suddenly shook his head and sighed, "I lost!"
"Huh?"
Jin's eyes widened in surprise. He had been completely dominated the entire match, and Orochimaru was actually admitting defeat at this point?
"I have no chakra or strength left!"
Orochimaru shook his head in slight frustration. "After fighting for so long, I still can't figure out what secret technique you used to recover your stamina. It's truly frustrating..."
Before he finished speaking, Orochimaru collapsed to the ground...
He was utterly exhausted!
Seeing this, Jin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head somewhat sadly:
"Next time, I will defeat you fair and square!"
