Bab 3: **Chapter 3: Repelling Orochimaru**
The Four Violet Flames Formation was guarded by four powerful subordinates of Orochimaru, each taking a different position!
Every one of them had the strength of a Chunin!
But these Chunin posed no real threat to the Jonin from Konoha.
However, the Four Violet Flames Formation completely protected them within, and the only way to break it was from the inside out!
"Uchiha boy, don't be reckless! This barrier has strong offensive properties; don't touch it!" Binsu Raidou, clutching the wound on his shoulder, anxiously warned.
Shiro glanced at the scorched corpses on the ground and smiled indifferently.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
"Foolishness!" Raidou shouted angrily, the force of his outburst tugging on his wound, causing blood to spill from his mouth.
"This is no place for a Genin like you! If you want to help Konoha, go help evacuate the civilians!"
The intense pain made Raidou squint, but it couldn't hide the admiration in his eyes.
"Sorry, my mind's made up!"
Shiro stepped over to Tayuya and began forming hand seals!
"Damn it, stop this kid! A child with such a strong will of fire can't be allowed to die here!"
At Raidou's command, a few men rushed over, trying to stop the "suicidal" Shiro!
"Genjutsu! Fire Charm Technique!"
With a low shout, Shiro's technique took effect. Tayuya's eyes flashed pink, and a silly grin spread across her face. Her hands dropped, and she started walking toward Shiro like a puppet!
"Tayuya! What are you doing?"
Sakon's furious yell snapped Tayuya out of the illusion.
But in that moment of distraction, a large gap appeared in the Four Violet Flames Formation!
"That kid actually did it!" Raidou stared at Shiro in disbelief.
He couldn't believe a child had accomplished something none of the Jonin had managed!
But after seeing Shiro's Sharingan, Raidou suddenly understood.
Genjutsu combined with the Sharingan wasn't just a simple one-plus-one! Breaking the barrier this way was no longer surprising!
Raidou's respect for Shiro grew even deeper.
"Uchiha boy, you've done well! Leave the rest to us!"
In an instant, several Jonin charged into the barrier.
"Whoa! So fast? If they're any quicker, I won't have time to copy any skills!"
Shiro hurried to follow them, but after just a few steps, a sharp flute sound echoed through the air, making his chakra surge uncontrollably.
"Kid, you think you can get in there?" Tayuya glared at Shiro with venom in her eyes, ready to tear him apart.
"Magic Flute: Demonic Illusion Chains!"
As Tayuya's voice dropped, the flute's melody became more frantic.
Shiro's eyes began to glaze over, his arms outstretched as if nailed to a cross.
Tayuya grinned in triumph, pulling out a kunai as she stalked toward Shiro, her face twisted in malice.
"This is what you get for getting in my way!"
Just as she slashed her kunai across his neck— *poof*— Shiro vanished in a puff of smoke!
"Shadow Clone Technique? Damn it!"
Inside the barrier, the area looked like a dense tropical jungle, with countless trees intertwining. The ground, once tiled, had turned into thick mud, splashing with every step.
The Third Hokage was engaged in a fierce battle.
Even with Enma's help, facing the First and Second Hokage, whose power couldn't be fully unleashed, he was still on the defensive!
"Hokage! We're here to help!"
Raidou, leading the charge with a kunai, froze upon seeing the enemies.
"What the hell is going on?"
Orochimaru noticed the newcomers and frowned, but then smirked wickedly.
"Old man, more people have come to die! Remember, they died because of you!"
"Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"
Senju Hashirama, who had been fighting the Third Hokage, clasped his hands together and shouted.
Suddenly, countless branches shot out from the ground, surging toward Raidou and the others!
"Not good! Run!"
True to their skills, the Konoha Jonin reacted immediately, but the trees grew at an alarming speed, quickly entangling the last few men. With a final cry, blood spilled from the gaps in the branches.
"Hahaha! What does it feel like to be killed by the very god you worship— the First Hokage?" Orochimaru laughed maniacally.
Raidou trembled with rage, then disappeared, as if he'd never been there.
"Raidou, no!" Sarutobi Hiruzen cried out in alarm.
"Too late!" Orochimaru sneered, raising his hand to grasp the air. A figure slowly emerged.
"Trying to assassinate me? At least hide your killing intent! But there won't be a next time!"
Orochimaru laughed as he tightened his grip on Raidou, who struggled in agony.
Just then, a sharp flute sound pierced the air.
Orochimaru looked toward the sound in confusion, but in that moment, he found himself bound to a cross, surrounded by swirling souls.
"Tayuya! What are you doing?" Orochimaru roared in fury.
Before he could react, he felt a sharp, cold sensation in his chest. A young, unfamiliar face appeared before him— even younger than Tayuya!
"I'm not Tayuya! My name is Shiro!"
"Shiro... Shiro..." Orochimaru repeated the name, his face growing darker.
"You're the second person to trap me in an illusion... with the Sharingan! No wonder!"
"You'll become my body soon enough!"
Orochimaru lunged at Shiro, but Shiro kicked him hard, sending him flying backward. Shiro then used the momentum to create distance.
"Sorry, but I'm not giving up this body just yet! Oh, and one more thing— my kunai was coated with poison!"
Orochimaru froze, his throat tightening as he coughed up black blood. His snake-like eyes glared at Shiro in fury.
Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, possessing Kage-level strength, was even overpowering the Third Hokage!
Yet now, he'd been wounded by a mere child!
Though it was a sneak attack, the shame was unbearable.
"Shiro! Shiro! Remember this— one day, you'll become part of me!"
Orochimaru, weak and retreating, was quickly supported by Tayuya and the others, vanishing from the scene.
