The three people present all changed their expressions and turned their heads to look. They found that hundreds of white-scaled pythons were roaring in, each python as thick as a bowl.
They were like missiles flying from afar, directly and continuously bombarding the cliff.
"Ah! Orochimaru-sama, you..." The first to bear the brunt was the dark-skinned man. Seven or eight of the flying pythons smashed into him.
With a bang, those pythons instantly smashed the man into the cliff, followed by the man's painful screams. A bloody smell immediately spread out.
The attack of the white-scaled pythons continued, and in a blink of an eye, it attacked Kaoru and Hina's side.
"As expected, it's Orochimaru!" Kaoru's heart tightened. He grabbed Hina's hand and started running frantically upwards.
"Boom boom boom!" A series of sounds rang out. The cliff behind Kaoru and Hina was smashed into a large pit one after another. The snake swarm in the rear chased closely.
"You go up first!" Kaoru grabbed Hina's hand and suddenly tightened it, then directly threw her upwards with all his strength.
"Ah!" Hina screamed, flying towards the top of the cliff. With a thud, Hina finally successfully reached the top of the lone peak, thanks to Kaoru's strength.
Kaoru, on the other hand, delayed his escape time due to his rescue of Hina.
Suddenly, dozens of white-scaled pythons attacked him together. Kaoru's small figure was instantly swallowed by these snakes!
"Kaoru!" At this time, Hina, who was on the top of the mountain, saw this terrifying scene and cried out while lying on the edge of the cliff.
"It seems that your strength is only so-so..." Just when Hina was about to collapse, a faint voice suddenly came from behind her.
"If you die like this, you won't be worthy of being my vessel." The man continued.
Hearing this, Hina was shocked and turned to look behind her. Only then did she find that someone had appeared behind her at some point.
This person had long black hair, a pale face, and wore a strange piece of clothing, a black trench coat embroidered with red clouds!
The person who came was one of the three legendary Sannin of Konoha: Orochimaru!
"Y-you, who are you?" Hina tightly gripped her katana and asked in horror.
"Don't be afraid, little girl, it's just a moment, it won't hurt." Orochimaru smiled sinisterly.
"Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!" As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his left hand, and suddenly several pythons spurted out from his sleeve, attacking Hina!
The python's attack speed was very fast. Before Hina could react, it had already attacked her.
But at this moment, a blue-gold giant sword suddenly flew out from under the cliff, rotating.
It drew a beautiful arc in the air, cutting off all the snake heads that Orochimaru spurted out, then the tip of the sword pointed down, and it was inserted straight into the ground!
"What!" Orochimaru's face, which had always maintained a smile, finally changed color.
Kaoru's figure appeared at the edge of the cliff. At this time, his snow-white clothes were stained with blood, and he looked like a Shura from hell.
"I won't allow you to kill her!" Kaoru said calmly, staring at Orochimaru.
"Kaoru!" Hina cried out and suddenly threw herself into Kaoru's arms.
Although he was holding a beauty in his arms, Kaoru had no thoughts to think about other things at all. After all, there was a strong enemy right in front of him.
"The red cloud black robe of the Akatsuki organization, I see, it seems that Orochimaru has now joined Akatsuki." Kaoru analyzed silently, looking at Orochimaru.
At this time, the Storm Sword that Kaoru had inserted into the ground also turned into faint starlight and disappeared.
"You're still not dead, huh..."
After a brief surprise, Orochimaru's eyes lit up, and he looked at Kaoru with a greedy look, as if Kaoru was a delicious meal.
"In terms of combat ability, you have far exceeded my imagination, but those eyes are only two-tomoe. It seems that I have to cultivate you well." Orochimaru licked his lips and said with a cold expression.
"As expected, the target is my Sharingan." Kaoru thought to himself, concentrating.
In the battle just now, he had used ninjutsu and hero ninjutsu one after another, and his chakra and Sharingan were already a bit overwhelmed.
"Now I will personally test whether you little brat has the qualifications to become my reincarnation vessel." Orochimaru said faintly, "But before that, I have to solve the irrelevant people first!"
As soon as Orochimaru said this, Kaoru's expression changed. It seemed that his primary target was still Hina!
Orochimaru turned his wrist, and three kunai instantly appeared in his palm. Then he waved his hand and shot the kunai towards Hina.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Three consecutive sounds rang out. Kaoru also waved three cards, each card collided with the kunai, and then both fell to the ground.
"A bit interesting." Orochimaru still had a smile on his face, "Why don't we make a bet first and see if you can save this little girl's life."
"Go!" Kaoru didn't answer Orochimaru's words, but directly pushed Hina away.
"Kusanagi Sword!" Orochimaru opened his mouth, and a silver-white sharp sword suddenly shot out from his mouth, the target was Hina, who was still stunned next to Kaoru.
"Wind Release, Wind Slicing!" Kaoru made hand seals with both hands, directly copying the ninjutsu used by the dark-skinned man before, and instantly spat out several wind blades.
"Hmm?" Orochimaru frowned slightly, and joined his middle and index fingers of his left hand, gently waving.
The Kusanagi Sword, which was flying in the air, was controlled by him and deviated from its original trajectory, while also dodging the wind blades that Kaoru spat out, and continued to attack Hina.
This was a game of wisdom and strength, and Kaoru couldn't be careless at all.
Seeing that his wind blades were dodged, Kaoru ruthlessly lifted his foot and kicked Hina, who was next to him, into the bushes on the side. Compared to losing her life, it was quite a good thing to let Hina suffer a little.
"It's not that simple!" Orochimaru smiled coldly, then made the "Monkey" seal with both hands: "Tongue Snake Vomit Acid!"
The snake heads that were cut off by Kaoru with the great sword before suddenly all raised their heads, and then the snake mouths opened, and a large amount of viscous white corrosive liquid was sprayed out!
"Crap!" Kaoru jumped out and wanted to grab Hina's body.
"Useless!" Orochimaru waved his right hand again, and the Kusanagi Sword immediately changed direction, slashing towards Kaoru, while also blocking Kaoru's way out.
"Pfft!" These liquids all poured on Hina's body, emitting thick white smoke. Hina screamed and fell into the nearby bushes with the corrosive liquid, her life and death unknown.
"Bastard!" Kaoru snorted coldly and was about to check on Hina's situation, but the Kusanagi Sword was relentless and stabbed towards Kaoru again. Kaoru paused and had to return to the spot, facing Orochimaru again.
"You lost the first game. The person you wanted to protect died under your eyes like this..." Orochimaru said coldly.
Kaoru's face was frosty, and he didn't answer Orochimaru's words.
"Next, let's bet on the second game, to see if you can survive my next attack. This is also a test to see if you have the qualifications to become my vessel."
Orochimaru shrugged and said like a rascal, "If the test is unsuccessful, then go to hell to accompany that little girl."
"Fierce Snake Trample!"
Orochimaru made hand seals, and suddenly, two brown pythons emerged from the ground where Kaoru was, and instantly wrapped around Kaoru's body.
