Capítulo 55: Chapter 55: Orochimaru vs Falcon
Orochimaru's hands suddenly lifted his head high, and his eyes gleamed bright red. In the eyes of Hyuga Kazuki, Orochimaru's figure seemed to blur for a moment, and then he decisively executed a series of palm strikes.
"What is he up to?"
The surrounding ninjas were shocked and stared at Orochimaru in disbelief.
"What a powerful illusion." Falcon instinctively tightened the grip on his sword's hilt.
Meanwhile, Hyuga Kazuki struck the tree behind Orochimaru, causing it to tremble, and leaves fluttered down. However, Orochimaru had already evaded the attack.
Emotion Stimulation Illusion, with its potent mental power and the ability to develop Sharingan, was indeed formidable. However, just like an ordinary Sharingan, it only takes effect if the target gazes upon it. Once Orochimaru looked at it, it was a simple move that made Hyuga Kazuki mistake him for the tree.
"Is he a descendant of the Uchiha clan?" Nightingale observed Orochimaru, her eyes devoid of frivolity, as if she was genuinely contemplating the situation.
"No." Hyuga Kazuki's willpower was strong, and he quickly realized that Orochimaru, who had raised his hands in front of him, had transformed into a broken tree.
"I should have reacted sooner." Hyuga Kazuki felt a bit strange when he saw Orochimaru raising his hands, but it was too late. Before he could turn around, Orochimaru had already kneed him in the stomach.
Hyuga Kazuki winced in pain, his eyes bulging as he retched and collapsed on the ground, gazing at Orochimaru with an expression of unwillingness and fear.
In close combat, an impressive illusion can be deadly, just like Sasuke's final beheading of Danzo, catching him off guard and leading to a tragic death due to miscalculating the number of Sharingan.
"Attack together," Orochimaru glanced at Hyuga Kazuki and Falcon nonchalantly. What should he do if his subordinates weren't being honest? Just beat some sense into them.
"Be careful." Falcon didn't say much, no one could see how he drew the sword. In an instant, a sharp light emanated from the scabbard as he appeared in front of Orochimaru, slashing down.
"Is that a combination of Body Flicker jutsu and footwork? Sacrificing distance for flexibility, not bad." Orochimaru quickly deduced the nature of the technique with his powerful mental power, super-sensing state, and the insights derived from his Sharingan.
"Clang." Orochimaru's Kunai clashed with Falcon's sword, creating dazzling sparks. Falcon felt a powerful force opposing him, and his sword was blocked.
Falcon's expression remained unchanged, and he swung his sword to strike again. But Orochimaru skillfully blocked each attack with his Kunai, causing a flurry of "ding ding dang dang" sounds.
Your swordsmanship may push me back, but my reflexes are quicker than yours.
It must be admitted that Orochimaru's mental power is an exceptional asset in melee combat. As long as his opponent's strength doesn't crush him, Orochimaru is practically invincible.
"Back Step." Falcon's sword was infused with wind attribute chakra, significantly increasing its power. After Orochimaru blocked this attack, his Kunai shattered.
"A perfect chance." Falcon created some distance for himself, spinning around his head. The blade gathered a substantive violent wind attribute chakra, and then Falcon swung it horizontally, performing a sliding step to cross Orochimaru.
"Rotating Wind Slash."
"I can't dodge." Orochimaru was taken aback. He felt locked by a sharp aura, as if only this devastating slash existed in his vision.
Facing this profound blow, Orochimaru smiled and quickly threw several kunai into the sky. Then he crossed his arms to protect his chest, activating the power of his bloodline limit to its fullest, making his body as hard as steel.
This was the result of Orochimaru mobilizing all his strength.
"Clang—."
The armor and black ninja suit on Orochimaru's wrist were instantly shattered, and the sharp blade's light even created sparks on his arm.
Everyone watched as Orochimaru's arm turned as white as jade, with thin red marks on it.
Orochimaru took a step back, and the wound began to heal.
The momentum of Falcon's powerful attack waned instantly, but before he could turn around, he heard a "ding dang" sound of a collision, and Falcon couldn't dodge in time. He screamed and let go of his sword, falling heavily to the ground.
Orochimaru's kunai had hit several pressure points, leaving Falcon unable to move his sword.
"Yes, your swordsmanship is intriguing." Orochimaru commented.
"I never expected to lose to someone so much younger than me." Falcon sighed, lying on the ground and fell silent.
"Gentle Fist, Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms." Hyuga Kazuki, who had recovered, had already returned to the fray. He touched Orochimaru's back, leaped up, and struck him repeatedly on the back.
Orochimaru seemed unable to break free from the barrage of attacks.
"You're done for. You can't withstand my strikes." Hyuga Kazuki felt ecstatic as he landed blow after blow, punching sixty-four times in a row.
Orochimaru's body swayed and softened like noodles until he seemed to transform into a snakeskin, spreading out on the ground with a "swoosh," and slowly recovering.
"My Gentle Fist is this powerful?. What... what is this...?"
A cold figure appeared quietly behind Hyuga Kazuki.
"Did you have fun?"
"Oops." Hyuga Kazuki was in agony, and just as he was about to defend, one of Orochimaru's iron fists had already slammed into his waist.
"Well....."
Hyuga Kazuki's face turned pale, the pain was so excruciating that he almost fainted, but he couldn't utter a sound. He could only kneel weakly on the ground, desperately clutching his waist, making a whimpering sound like a puppy.
"White Rooster, are you finally being obedient? I hope my kidney attack helps improve your memory."
From Orochimaru's cuff, a snake slithered out and coiled around Hyuga Kazuki's body. The snake opened its mouth and playfully licked his face with a bright red tongue.
"Do you know who's the Captain?"
"I know. Captain Black Snake."
Hyuga Kazuki was in so much pain that he could only nod repeatedly like a garlic, finally recognizing the vast difference in strength between himself and the four-years-younger Orochimaru.
"What about you?" Orochimaru looked at the Falcon nailed to the ground.
"Captain." Falcon responded resolutely, just like his sword.
"Good, a obedient disciple is always teachable." Orochimaru helped him pull out the kunai, and the emerald green light unique to Healing Chakra emanated from his palm, healing the wound on Falcon swiftly.
The surrounding ninjas were astonished. Orochimaru possessed such skill in medical ninjutsu? They were deeply grateful for his aid.
"This is...." Nightingale was surprised. Could Orochimaru be using the Mystical Palm Art? How could he have such knowledge?.
"Hmph. It must be that little brat Tsunade." Nightingale snorted coldly, putting on her mask, which made many people feel disappointed.
"Black Snake, I will follow your lead, but I hope you can teach me the Mystical Palm Technique."
"Oh?"
"I belong to the Senju Clan." Nightingale puffed her chest up like a proud princess, but unfortunately, her stature didn't allow for a commanding presence.
"Sure."
The Mystical Palm Technique was attributed to Tsunade, but Nightingale didn't seem to be on good terms with her, so she chose to learn it from Orochimaru.
"As Captain, Black Snake, your authority is bestowed by Lord Hokage. You must obey his orders and strive to return to duty early."
Arima finally intervened. He wanted to assess Orochimaru's strength, but primarily, he believed that a ninja's worth should be proven through their strength.
"I finally have subordinates? But most of them have clans backing them. I can't involve them in top-secret missions. I need to train them myself." Orochimaru stroked the smooth mask and pondered silently.
