Seeing the sky full of Flying Swords, Orochimaru didn't have time to think and quickly moved his hands.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough."
Orochimaru thought it through well. With so many Flying Swords in the air, his chances of dodging were too low. Using a Great Breakthrough might scatter these Flying Swords.
The idea was nice, but reality was cruel. The Myriad Sword Art could not be blown away by a mere Great Breakthrough.
Seeing Orochimaru use Ninjutsu, Naruto increased his Chakra output for safety, maintaining the stability of the Flying Swords while controlling them to attack Orochimaru.
"You freak, go die!"
The Great Breakthrough had no effect, and Orochimaru felt things were going poorly. Just as the Flying Swords struck him, he barely managed to use Substitution Jutsu to evade the attack.
"It's not over yet."
Naruto wasn't surprised that Orochimaru used Substitution Jutsu to dodge. After all, the person opposite him was one of the legendary Sannin. Ge Liang had said that this was an existence one level above a Jonin.
How could such an existence be killed so easily?
'Kurama, tell me, where is he?'
'He's about a hundred meters ahead and to your left.'
'Got it.'
With Kurama's help, Naruto easily determined Orochimaru's location.
No need to say more, just do it.
"Go~"
Using the Sword Control Incantation to manipulate the 'Myriad Swords', Naruto's Chakra was constantly draining. Even with his massive Chakra reserves, he couldn't sustain this consumption indefinitely.
Naruto wanted a quick resolution. After learning Orochimaru's position, he immediately controlled the Flying Swords to surround and attack Orochimaru.
"Damn, you can find me even like this?"
Orochimaru's hiding spot was very concealed, behind a large tree. Furthermore, he had already incorporated the White Snake Gene into himself, making his heartbeat and blood different from normal people.
Even Sensor Ninja couldn't detect Orochimaru in this state.
Unexpectedly, he was discovered by Naruto.
"Die!"
"I won't!"
Facing the incoming 'Myriad Sword' attack again, Orochimaru quickly formed another hand sign.
Just as he finished the hand sign, the dense swarm of Flying Swords successfully struck his body directly.
"Ah~"
Following the attack of the Flying Swords, Orochimaru's scream rang out. By the time the last sword plunged into him, Orochimaru's body had become a puddle of flesh.
Seeing this, Naruto did not show the slightest hint of joy.
'Naruto, be careful, this person is not dead yet.'
With Kurama's sensing ability, Naruto was essentially a human radar. As long as Kurama remembered the Chakra signature, the target couldn't escape its detection within a certain range.
"Come out, Orochimaru. I don't believe you would die so easily."
Naruto watched his surroundings warily and said slowly.
Not far in front of Naruto, a figure slowly rose from the earth—it was none other than Orochimaru!
"Hoo~ Kid, I really underestimated you."
"I never thought that the dignified Cold Monarch Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, would hide like a mouse, constantly running and concealing himself. It's quite amusing to think about."
Looking at the panting Orochimaru, Naruto knew that dodging the 'two' Myriad Sword Art attacks did not come without a price.
"Hmph, children should act like children. Otherwise, it's bad to be annoying and offend people you shouldn't."
As expected of Orochimaru, what if he consumed a large amount of Chakra just to evade the attacks?
At least he couldn't admit defeat in appearance.
"People I shouldn't offend? Are you referring to yourself? I don't think there are any consequences for offending a stray dog." Fully controlling the Myriad Sword Art was extremely taxing on Chakra.
Naruto's body hadn't fully grown yet, and even he needed to slow down when facing such consumption, so he didn't mind engaging in trash talk.
Orochimaru's experience was vast. He immediately saw that Naruto's Chakra consumption was also high and wanted to talk to him to stall for time.
"Summoning Jutsu."
"Bang!"
Orochimaru stopped wasting words and chose to use Summoning Jutsu to summon a large snake.
"Lord Orochimaru, what are your orders."
"Go bring me the little girl behind him."
"As you command, Lord Orochimaru."
The summoned snake was very obedient to Orochimaru. Upon hearing his command, it began moving toward the area behind Naruto.
"You wish."
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu."
"Swish swish swish~"
Even though Naruto's consumption was high, he still created twenty Shadow Clones to block the large snake.
"Heh heh, did you forget about my existence?"
With twenty Shadow Clones blocking the way, Orochimaru knew that unless he summoned Manda, it would be quite difficult for any other large snake to break through that many Shadow Clones.
But he had no choice. Manda's temperament was extremely difficult to handle. If he summoned Manda and it said something inappropriate, wouldn't his status as a BOSS be ruined?
"Ninjutsu: Mandala of Snakes."
To stop Naruto, Orochimaru chose to use a powerful move.
"Ah~~~~"
This is why Orochimaru is a freak. He opened his gaping maw toward Naruto, and thousands of small snakes crawled out of his mouth.
Seeing such a vast number of small snakes attacking him, even Naruto couldn't help but get goosebumps.
'Kurama, give me Chakra.'
'No problem.'
Facing this attack, it was too late even if Naruto wanted to use the Myriad Sword Art. He quickly called the Nine-Tailed to ask for help.
The Nine-Tailed was very cooperative and immediately gave Naruto a large amount of Chakra.
With the injection of Chakra, a Chakra Cloak immediately appeared on Naruto's body, and a tail formed of Nine-Tails Chakra appeared behind him.
Just as Naruto was feeling the power of the Nine-Tails Chakra, Orochimaru's Mandala of Snakes attack arrived before him.
Looking at the small snakes clinging to the Chakra Cloak and biting wildly, Naruto wasn't panicked in the slightest; he even wanted to laugh.
The Nine-Tailed's Chakra possesses extremely powerful corrosive properties. Even if he stood still, all these small snakes would be completely corroded by the Nine-Tails Chakra.
But would Naruto stand still?
Of course not.
Facing such a large number of small snakes, Naruto utilized the retractable nature of the Chakra Cloak, directly using the 'Fox Demon's Claw' to push through the snakes' attack and strike at Orochimaru, who was still spewing snakes.
Seeing the Fox Demon's Claw attack, Orochimaru immediately stopped spewing snakes, took a big leap, rolled, and left his spot.
"Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"
Before Orochimaru could express his surprise, Naruto controlled the 'Fox Demon's Claw' to turn and attack the large python that was being entangled by the Shadow Clones.
"Bang~"
The large python didn't expect Naruto to have this move and was caught off guard.
"Ah~"
The corrosion of the Nine-Tails Chakra caused the large python to cry out in agony. Before long, it voluntarily released the Summoning Jutsu and returned to Ryūchi Cave.
Seeing that the danger to Karin had been resolved, Naruto also dismissed his Shadow Clones and the 'Fox Demon Cloak' on his body.
It wasn't that Naruto didn't want to maintain this state; it was because the corrosive nature of the Nine-Tails Chakra didn't distinguish between friend and foe. The fact that he could persist for this amount of time, despite the massive consumption and this being his first time using the 'Fox Demon Cloak', was already quite impressive.
If he maintained it any longer, his body would also be corroded by the 'Fox Demon Cloak', causing him significant harm.
