Looking at the humongous body of Manda, Kuroto sheathed the Kusanagi Sword into its scabbard at his waist.
Using tools like Swords, Kunais, Shurikens, or Senbons is useless in the face of such large Summon Beasts, therefore, Kuroto will have to change his tactics now.
Standing atop Mandaâs head, Orochimaru crossed his hands over his chest and said, âKuroto-Kun, now let me see your artificial tailed beast!â
Ignoring Orochimaruâs words, Kuroto took a gentle fist stance as the blue chakra enveloped his palms.
Manda condescendingly looked at Kuroto and asked Orochimaru with a displeased tone, âHey Orochimaru, do you have to call me to deal with the brat!â
Ignoring Mandaâs condescending expression, Orochimaru replied with a smirk, âDonât underestimate the kid, there is a monster hidden within his body!â
âMonster? Why donât I see anything other than the very same annoying brat!?â â Manda snorted coldly and shot towards Kuroto like a cannonball.
Boom⊠Boom⊠BoomâŠ
The whole forest shook by the movements of Mandaâs large body. The impact of each of its movements is no less than a Class-A Earth Release Jutsu.
As Manda continued chasing him, Kurotoâs figure continued flashing from one spot to another in retreat using the Body Flicker Technique.
After a little game of Catch when Mando couldnât catch Kuroto, he spoke to Orochimaru in annoyance, âOrochimaru, where is the monster you talked about? The kid is still running like always, I donât see any change!â
Orochimaru also scanned the forest, trying to find Kurotoâs location but the flying sand and dust interfered with his vision.
He was obviously a little doubtful at this point.
Orochimaru was obviously a little confused as to why did Kuroto-Kun took Gentle Fist stance to counter Mandaâs attack, this is undoubtedly stupid.
Itâs common sense to use giant Summon Beasts to counter against another giant Summon Beast.
Secondly, even large-scale ninjutsu and taijutsu attacks are pretty much useless in the face of large Summon Beasts⊠unless, the person isnât targeting the Summon Beast but the Summoner!
As soon as this thought appeared in Orochimaruâs mind, a figure jumped on Mandaâs large belly and rushed towards Orochimaru.
As soon as he notices this figure, Orochimaru immediately muttered, âSure enough, Kuroto-Kun is targeting me!â
Orochimaru immediately fired several Shadow Snakes at Kuroto who was running in his direction.
Kuroto who was running towards Orochimaru dodged, kicked, or punched away the snakes and continued running towards Orochimaru.
As soon as he was about to close in on Orochimaru, Kuroto immediately printed some hand seals, and shouted, âEight-Trigram Secret Technique: Vacuum Palm!â
Orochimaru who was about to fire another round of Snakes towards Kuroto was suddenly taken aback.
He is aware of most of the Gentle Fist Style of the Hyuga Clan, but this âVacuum Palmâ had been heard for the first time.
In that short moment, Kuroto stretched out his hand towards Orochimaru.
âW-what!?â
And suddenly Orochimaru felt an irresistible suction force pulling him towards Kuroto-Kun. The distance between the two was obviously not very much and in the interval of less than a second⊠Orochimaru was dragged towards Kuroto.
On the other side, Kuroto who expected such a thing to happen immediately pressed his arm on Orochimaruâs chest and shouted, âContract Seal!â
Before Orochimaru had the time to regain his balance, a series of symbols spread on his chest like a spider web with Kurotoâs hand as the center!
BangâŠ
And not waiting for Orochimaru to react, the contract relation between him and Manda was severed by the contract seal and Mandaâs figure disappeared from the battlefield with a cloud of white smoke.
Having lost the footing. Both Kuroto and Orochimaru fell from the air and firmly landed on the ground.
Orochimaru glanced at his chest in a daze as the contract seal took its effect, âA Contract Seal, huh? It seems you have been hiding quite a lot of cards up your sleeve Kuroto-Kun!â
For someone like Orochimaru, terminating the Contract Seal isnât that troublesome, but if he wants to summon Manda again, he would have to go to the Ryuchi Cave.
And this issue isnât something to care about, for now, what intrigues him more is that secret Gentle Fist technique which put such tremendous suction force on him⊠it was only for a brief moment, but it did remind him of his encounter with the leader of the Akatsuki, Pain!
On the other side, Kuroto panted lightly.
Just now he had to put quite a lot of effort to dodge Mandaâs successive attacks, if not for using Rein Interaction combined with the Body Flicker Technique, he would have most certainly suffered heavily if crushed by that gigantic body!
As for the âEight-Trigram Secret Technique: Vacuum Palm!?â It was just pure crap he used to confuse Orochimaru.
The purpose was only to cover the Rein Pull he used on Orochimaru, and for this reason only, Kuroto intently took Gentle Fist stance and even printed some fake hand seals.
The reason Kuroto used such a crap tactic to confuse him was that Orochimaru has inexplicable greed towards Dojutsu Kekkei Genkai, therefore he needed something to coverup the Tenseigan move.
After all, Kuroto wouldnât want a snake to eye his Tenseigan.
As long as Orochimaru believes that it was a Secret Technique of the Hyuga Clan, he wouldnât pay too much attention to it.
Otherwise, Orochimaru would pay too much attention to him.
And if this happens, let alone cooperate, Orochimaru may even use the power of the Akatsuki Organization to deal with him.
Looking at Kurotoâs rough breathing, Orochimaru asked curiously, âWas that a secret technique of your Hyuga Clan?â
Kuroto nodded, âYes!â
âWhy have I never heard of such a secret technique?â â Orochimaru asked with a burning gaze.
âItâs because nobody has been able to master it for some time, therefore you might not have heard of this secret techniqueâŠâ â Kuroto continued spouting utter bullshit with a straight face.
Orochimaru eyed Kuroto but he couldnât figure out whether Kuroto was speaking the truth or not.
â
â
Sighing lightly, he muttered, âFigures⊠But I donât know why the technique you used just now reminded me of someone.â â After a short pause, Orochimaru continued, âA person with the Rinnegan!â
Kuroto immediately made a shocked look as he spoke in an exaggerated tone, âW-what? The Rinnegan!? Oh, câmon Orochimaru-Sama⊠since when did you start making such jokesâŠ? How come anyone has the eyes of the Sage of the Six Paths? And even if that was the case, I wouldnât believe if you didnât go after that person, after all the Rinnegan would make anyone impatient!â
As soon as Kuroto spoke these lines, Orochimaruâs face sank in the bad memories of his fight with Pain.
Kuroto noticed Orochimaruâs change and smiled inwardly, as he understood that some bad memories have been triggered by him.
âAny way that aside, letâs stop here, if this continues, I am afraid that I wouldnât be able to keep up with you for very long!â
Orochimaruâs gaze immediately became sharp as he said with a smirk, âDonât be so restless Kuroto-Kun, there is this one new Jutsu that I have come up with, not that you have used one of your secret technique itâs obvious that I too use something donât you think? Besides, I havenât had many opportunities for using this one particular technique, this time seems to be the best⊠You would be willing to accompany me wouldnât you!â
Looking at Orochimaruâs eyes, Kuroto couldnât help but gulp slightlyâŠ
âWhen is it going to over!?â
âŠ
On a Large tree far away from the battlefield.
Yamato squatted on a tree branch with a solemn expression.
Beside him stood the young figures of an Orange hair Kid named Jugo, a white hair kid with two red dots on his forehead named Kimimaro, and finally the young figure of a black hair kid named Haku.
Looking at the distance battle, Kimimaro said, âWe should help Orochimaru-Sama!â
Yamato shook his head, âOrochimaru-Sama has ordered to not interfere!â
âThe other party is so powerful, itâs incredible to be able to keep up with Orochimaru-Sama!â Haku also nodded with slight fear.
If not for Yamato to use Wood Release a while back to protect the four of them, the little guys would have become meat paste because of being squashed by Manda who didnât care whether they are enemies or allies.
At this moment, Kimimaro asked with a frown, âWhy did Orochimaru-Samaâs Summon Snake suddenly disappear?â
Obviously, none of the other three were knowledgeable enough to be able to answer this question.
While Kimimaro thought of the possible reason, Yamato suddenly pointed towards the battlefield and said, âLook, what is that!?â
Everyone followed his gaze and saw a behemoth that was even larger than Manda, suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
The humongous body was a giant serpent with eight heads and eight tails completely covered in white scales. Form appearance alone it no longer looked like a Snake but a âDragon Godâ from the legends. One known as Yamata no Orochi!
