Chapter 149 Orochimaru: My Summoning Jutsu is flawless! Naruto: Don't underestimate me!
"hiss!"
Just as Naruto was immersed in his wonderful fantasy of how to tame this giant snake...
Suddenly, the snake opened its gaping maw, its sharp fangs gleaming coldly in the sunlight, and lunged straight at Naruto.
A suffocating stench filled the air, and a huge snake shadow loomed over Naruto.
"Oh no!"
Upon seeing this, Naruto was startled and quickly pushed off with his feet, narrowly dodging to the side in an attempt to avoid the giant snake's attack.
"boom!"
The enormous snake's body slammed into the ground like a whip, kicking up dust and fallen leaves, and causing the ground to tremble slightly.
However, before Naruto could even catch his breath, the giant snake suddenly swung its long body and instantly coiled around him like an iron chain.
"boom!"
The enormous snake tail created a whistling sound in the air, and before Naruto could react, he was tightly coiled up by the snake's body.
"Hiss—"
The giant snake flicked its long tongue, coldly staring at Naruto, who was already trapped.
Its power was immense, and the force of its binding made it almost impossible for Naruto to breathe.
The rough snake scales clung tightly to Naruto's body, conveying a sense of oppression and a cold touch.
"Damn, this guy is incredibly strong!"
Naruto Uzumaki gasped.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately took out the Momotaro rice ball and threw it forcefully into the snake's gaping maw: "Let me show you the power of a rice ball!"
"call out!"
The giant snake was originally preparing to put even more pressure on Naruto.
However, the moment the rice ball flew towards it, it instinctively opened its mouth and bit down hard on the rice ball.
In an instant, the giant snake's originally ferocious eyes underwent a subtle change the moment they came into contact with the rice ball.
The movement stopped instantly, and the snake's body, which had been tightly wrapped around Naruto, gradually relaxed.
The giant snake's eyes changed from cruel and ruthless to somewhat bewildered.
He then revealed a pleased expression.
The giant snake's tongue was gently curling, as if it were savoring the taste of the rice ball.
"It really worked!"
Seeing this, Naruto Uzumaki excitedly threw out another rice ball.
The rice ball was thrown into the giant snake's mouth, and after chewing a few mouthfuls, the giant snake slowly released Naruto.
The creature, which had been hostile, has now quieted down, leisurely licking the crumbs from the corner of its mouth, as if it had completely forgotten its urge to swallow Naruto whole.
"This is incredibly effective!"
Seeing this, Naruto could hardly believe his eyes.
Patting his aching back from the tight straps, Naruto Uzumaki smiled broadly: "Just as Mr. Lin Mo said, haha."
"This Momotaro rice ball is amazing."
Seeing the once ferocious snake now docilely stretching its head and nuzzling Naruto, Naruto clapped his hands excitedly: "Great, let's go find Sasuke then."
With that, Naruto immediately boarded the giant snake and directed it to move towards the wrecked, exploded area further away.
"Boom!"
The giant snake immediately increased its swimming speed, rampaging and crashing through the air.
When they arrived at their destination, they saw Uchiha Sasuke fighting with someone.
That guy kicked Sasuke like a football, sending him flying.
"Go bite that guy!"
Naruto Uzumaki hurriedly spoke up.
"Hiss—"
The giant snake immediately rushed over, opening its blood-red maw to bite the person viciously.
"Um!?"
Orochimaru, who had already located the location, immediately moved to the side and narrowed his eyes as he watched the snake, whose attack had missed and who now looked at him with ferocity.
This snake was summoned by its own spirit.
Why would they attack?
Looking down at the giant snake's head, Naruto Uzumaki stood with his arms crossed, looking down at the disheveled Sasuke and Sakura: "I'm sorry, I couldn't remember the code, but I got here. Are you alright?"
"You bastard."
Seeing Naruto Uzumaki appear, Sasuke Uchiha let out a sigh of relief: "But now is not the time to show off. You run away, don't worry about me. This guy is terrifyingly strong. We are far inferior to him."
As he said this, Sasuke Uchiha looked at Orochimaru with an extremely solemn expression.
Even a powerful Chunin shouldn't be this kind of character.
"That guy."
Upon hearing Sasuke Uchiha's words, Naruto Uzumaki looked at Orochimaru with a suspicious expression: "Very strong?"
"Interesting, Naruto."
Orochimaru looked at Naruto with a bright smile: "I didn't expect you could tame my summoning snake."
"What are you talking about?"
Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki's expression turned strange: "How do you know my name?"
"We don't want the reel anymore."
Sasuke Uchiha, who had already stood up, placed the scroll on the ground without hesitation and looked at Orochimaru, saying in a deep voice, "Let us go."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki's eyes widened as he glared angrily at Sasuke Uchiha: "What nonsense are you spouting? How can we give the scroll to the enemy? If we get his scroll, we can go to the tower and leave today!"
"You don't understand."
Ignoring Naruto's anger, Sasuke Uchiha said with a grim expression, "There's no need for us to rush."
"Interesting, they have a pretty strong sense of self-preservation."
Orochimaru looked at Sasuke Uchiha, who had given up immediately, and nodded slightly, saying, "The only thing that can satisfy the predator is to find a substitute for the prey."
"then!"
Sasuke Uchiha tossed the scroll directly to Orochimaru.
Since Orochimaru isn't coming to get it, he might as well just throw it into Orochimaru's hands.
But the next second, Naruto Uzumaki flashed and caught the scroll.
"Naruto!?"
Upon seeing this, Sasuke Uchiha's expression changed drastically, filled with shock and anger: "Do you know what you're doing?"
"Bang!"
Sasuke was met with a punch from Naruto Uzumaki, which sent him crashing to the ground.
"Naruto, what are you doing?!"
Upon seeing this, Sakura Haruno's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly ran to help Sasuke Uchiha.
"You are not Sasuke."
Naruto Uzumaki slowly retracted the Earth Scroll, looked at Sasuke Uchiha, and spoke slowly, making Sasuke's face turn extremely ugly: "You idiot, I am."
"The Sasuke I know won't give up halfway."
"Besides, do you really think he'll let us go even if we give the roll to this guy? I think you're the one who's too scared to understand the situation."
"Secondly, I have to go out today."
"Just defeat this guy."
Naruto Uzumaki stared at the Heavenly Scroll in Orochimaru's hand, rubbing his hands together in anticipation: "If this guy had the Earthly Scroll, that would be one thing, but I need to get out of here!"
Thinking that if this scroll were lost, there's no telling if there will be another Heavenly Scroll today.
He will absolutely not let this go.
"Hehehe, Naruto, you're right."
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Orochimaru's voice was as cold as a venomous snake. He chuckled and swept his gaze across Naruto with a chilling look, completely ignoring Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, whose faces were pale with displeasure.
"The scroll, once I kill you all, is mine."
At this point, Orochimaru's lips curled into a cruel smile.
The next second, he raised his fingers and quickly formed a hand seal. Instantly, chakra surged out, and the air was filled with a suffocating pressure.
"Spiritualism!"
Orochimaru gave a soft shout and slammed his palm down on the ground.
With a low "bang," the ground trembled.
Black smoke rapidly poured out from the psychic array, and as the smoke churned, a huge shadow slowly emerged.
A giant snake, even larger and more ferocious than the one beneath Naruto's feet, appeared!
Its body is as huge as a mountain, and its scales shimmer with a cold light in the sunlight, each scale seemingly reflecting a chilling glint.
The giant snake's eyes glowed with a blood-red light, inspiring immense fear.
It flicked its long tongue, emitting a chilling hissing sound, and raised its enormous head high, seemingly ready to devour everything at any moment.
Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno's expressions changed instantly upon seeing the scene before them.
"What...what kind of monster is this?!"
Sakura Haruno's pupils contracted sharply, her hands gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, and her face was filled with fear.
She had never seen such a huge spirit beast.
The immense pressure almost paralyzed her body, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"This chakra is terrifying!"
Sasuke's face was pale, and he clenched his teeth.
He could feel the powerful chakra fluctuations emanating from the giant snake in front of him, as if a mountain was pressing down on his heart, making him feel extremely oppressed and fearful.
Anyone capable of summoning such a beast is definitely not an ordinary person!
"As expected, this snake was summoned by you."
Seeing Orochimaru summon an even larger snake, Naruto Uzumaki subconsciously glanced down at the snake beneath his feet.
This one is nowhere near as good as the one in front of us.
They're completely different in terms of physique alone.
At that moment, Orochimaru gently raised his hand, pointed in Naruto's direction, and chuckled, "Go, eat him."
"roar!"
Upon hearing the words "Fire," the giant snake let out a deafening roar, and its enormous body swept towards Naruto like a giant wave.
It also opened its blood-red maw.
The sharp fangs gleamed with a cold, icy light.
"Oh no, Naruto!"
Upon seeing this, Sasuke and Sakura Haruno shouted almost simultaneously, their eyes filled with fear.
With such a massive serpent and such terrifying power, how could Naruto possibly withstand it?
"Damn it, here we go again. Luckily I have this Momotaro rice ball."
Naruto Uzumaki showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he took out another Momotaro rice ball, aimed it at the giant snake that was charging at him, and threw it into the ball.
The giant snake, which was charging toward Naruto with lightning speed and its gaping maw, suddenly stopped in its tracks when it saw the rice ball coming at it.
Instinctively, he stuck out his tongue, quickly wrapped it around the Momotaro rice ball, and swallowed it into his mouth.
In an instant, the giant snake's eyes, which had been filled with murderous red light, suddenly turned docile.
The mouth that was about to devour Naruto slowly closed, and the ferocious aura quickly disappeared without a trace.
Instead, it moved closer to Naruto, its huge head slowly lowering and coiling on the ground, while its massive body ceased its attack.
It seems as if it has been tamed by Naruto Uzumaki.
"What kind of tactic is this?"
The sudden turn of events made Orochimaru's gaze sharpen instantly.
The snake I summoned through psychic abilities is now out of my control?
Just because of some kind of rice ball?
Even if it's not the Manda, the snakes in Ryuchi Cave are no weaklings; they possess both strength and ferocity.
How could I be subdued by a rice ball?
Orochimaru stared intently at the giant snake that was still lying on the ground, as docile as a pet, trying to control it, only to find that the snake paid no attention to him.
"Hahahaha."
Seeing Orochimaru's gaze, Naruto clapped his hands smugly: "So what if you know summoning jutsu? My eliminated rice ball is really powerful."
"Now, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Use them all."
"Naruto."
"That rice ball."
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno immediately looked at the two large snakes in front of Naruto.
"Interesting, Naruto."
Orochimaru clapped his hands in amazement: "A rice ball for taming summoning beasts? This is truly the first time I've ever seen one."
"What if I cancel?"
As he spoke, Orochimaru once again formed hand seals with lightning speed.
With two loud "bangs," the two giant snakes instantly turned into smoke and disappeared.
"My summoned beast is fine."
Orochimaru, who had changed the summoning technique, squinted at Naruto Uzumaki.
"No, give me back my summoned beast!"
Naruto Uzumaki turned green as he watched the giant snake vanish into smoke.
The snake is gone, which means his rice ball has been wasted.
Orochimaru: "."
Orochimaru's face darkened upon hearing Naruto's words.
An arrogant brat.
"Since summoning beasts are useless against you, I'll have to take matters into my own hands."
Before he finished speaking, Orochimaru's figure had already disappeared from the spot.
"What?!"
Naruto's pupils contracted sharply, and before he could even react, Orochimaru had already appeared in front of him at an unbelievable speed.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, Orochimaru's palm struck Naruto's abdomen heavily, sending Naruto flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing into a tree trunk.
"How could it be so fast?"
Naruto coughed, clutching his stomach, and painfully got up from the ground, his eyes filled with surprise.
This guy's speed far exceeded his expectations!
Almost instantly, he was sent flying without even seeing Orochimaru's movement.
However, before he could fully regain his footing, Orochimaru's figure disappeared again.
"Bang!"
Another heavy blow struck, this time Orochimaru's knee slammed into Naruto's chest, and intense pain instantly coursed through Naruto's entire body.
Naruto felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, his breath caught in his throat, and he was sent flying again, crashing heavily to the ground.
"That's the difference, Naruto."
Orochimaru's voice, filled with mockery and coldness, slowly approached Naruto.
His steps were elegant and unhurried, as if he were toying with a defenseless prey.
His movements appeared casual, but each strike was incredibly precise and carried destructive power.
"Run, Naruto!"
"Idiot, I've told you so, but you just won't listen."
Seeing this, Sasuke Uchiha hurriedly said, "Something's definitely wrong with him."
"hateful."
Upon hearing Sasuke Uchiha's words, Naruto struggled to his feet, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his chest heaving violently.
However, before Naruto could react, Orochimaru's attack came down like a storm once again.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Orochimaru's fists and kicks rained down on Naruto, each blow causing Naruto's body to tremble violently.
Naruto felt he was almost unable to defend himself and could only retreat in a sorry state, looking for a chance to catch his breath.
"You're too weak, Naruto."
Orochimaru's voice remained cold as he appeared behind Naruto like a ghost, grabbed Naruto's collar, and slammed a punch into his back.
"Bang!"
Naruto was knocked to his knees again by this attack, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his body trembling uncontrollably.
"I must fight back; I can't keep taking this beating!"
Naruto felt a sudden chill, but Orochimaru was too fast.
"Bang!"
Orochimaru struck again without hesitation.
Rasengan!
In an instant, chakra rapidly gathered within his body, and a blue chakra sphere quickly condensed in his palm.
Naruto suddenly turned around and shoved the Rasengan in his hand at Orochimaru.
"boom!"
The blue chakra sphere, carrying a powerful spinning force and emitting a whistling sound, hurtled straight towards Orochimaru's abdomen.
"Hmm? No-hand seal ninjutsu?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Orochimaru's eyes as he reached out his hand.
He thought Naruto had lost the ability to resist under his powerful suppression, but he didn't expect that the kid could still unleash such a powerful attack.
Isn't this the same method Jiraiya used?
This kid, did he follow Jiraiya?
Thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and Orochimaru's body suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared from the spot, leaving only a piece of wood behind.
"Bang!"
The Rasengan slammed into the ground, and the powerful chakra rotation instantly tore the earth apart, sending dust flying and creating a huge crater.
However, the blow that Naruto had been hoping for did not fall on Orochimaru.
Orochimaru has vanished into thin air!
"Substitution Jutsu!"
Naruto was startled and immediately realized that Orochimaru had used the Substitution Jutsu to dodge his attack.
Sure enough, the next moment, Orochimaru appeared not far away, with a faint sneer on his face, as if the attack just now had not posed any threat to him at all.
"Not bad, you can actually use the Rasengan."
Orochimaru's voice remained indifferent, but a barely perceptible hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "However, this level of attack poses no threat to me."
"How do you know about the Rasengan?"
Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Naruto gasped for breath, his expression grave.
Although he had tried his best to unleash the Rasengan, Orochimaru's reaction speed was simply too fast, on a completely different level.
But the next second, Naruto Uzumaki looked surprised.
My own Rasengan, even though it came from the shop owner.
This guy actually knew?
Have you also been to the jar shop?
That's probably not right.
Orochimaru clapped his hands lightly, seemingly showing some interest in Naruto's resistance, but the oppressive aura that seemed to overwhelm Naruto still enveloped him.
"Naruto, you are indeed stronger than I expected."
Orochimaru slowly walked towards Naruto, his voice tinged with contempt: "However, this is far from enough."
"Jiraiya, did you only teach you the Rasengan?"
"Jiraiya?"
Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki frowned. Who was that?
Orochimaru: "????"
Seeing Naruto frown, Orochimaru looked surprised: "You don't recognize him? Then how do you know him?"
I don't recognize this kid, how does he know the Rasengan?
"Don't underestimate me, you idiot!"
Naruto clenched his fists, and a fierce aura suddenly erupted from his body, transforming into a howling wind.
