Given the urgency, if he didn't act now, Anko would likely die.
Orochimaru's newly accepted Disciple being killed before even reaching the battlefield would be a disgrace to the entire Konoha Village. If something happened to Anko, Orochimaru wouldn't let him off the hook, among other things.
"You really know how to cause me trouble..."
Bai Lu shook his head. He remembered that during the original Chunin Exams, Anko cut the Prince and stuck out her tongue to lick the blood off his face.
He didn't expect this fetish to already be showing signs now.
Bai Lu was forced to act.
Nuclear Release: Adsorption of Impurity Technique!
In an instant, the massive amount of nuclear radiation inside Anko was completely devoured by Bai Lu in an unseen rush.
This technique was a Ninjutsu for controlling nuclear radiation that Bai Lu had mastered over years of integrating nuclear radiation.
After the last trace of Radiation was devoured by Bai Lu.
Although Anko's Origin Qi was severely damaged, especially with a large number of oral cells necrotic, requiring a long period of recovery, she could at least remain generally normal.
Aside from her deathly pale face and profuse sweating.
"What did you do?"
Anko struggled to turn her head, feeling the rapid improvement within her body, her face filled with astonishment.
She was saved.
"It's just my technique, don't worry about it..." Bai Lu stood up, still dragging Anko with one hand, walking step by step toward the edge of the arena.
How could she not worry about it? The entire process was way too bizarre!
Anko was frantically complaining internally, feeling incredibly depressed that as Lord Orochimaru's Disciple, she had been knocked out by a mouthful of blood!
"I'm such an idiot, truly. I lost without even using the Hidden Shadow Snake Hands that my teacher taught me..." Anko's eyes welled up, her confidence shattered.
"Anko, try to look on the bright side. For instance, what if you couldn't successfully use the Hidden Shadow Snake Hands technique at all?"
Bai Lu kindly reminded her.
Anko erupted in fury: "Bai Lu, you bastard!!"
The next moment, Bai Lu kicked her entire body out of the arena, where she landed with a thud.
His decisive action was exactly like that of a Scumbag.
She lost.
The Disciple of a Sannin lost to a bottom-ranked student.
However, by now, it didn't matter anymore.
After controlling the nuclear radiation, developing Nuclear Release, and establishing a preliminary stable connection with the Big Guy inside him, Bai Lu no longer needed to hide or be cautious as he had in the past.
Countless gasps of astonishment rang out. Everyone stared fixedly at Bai Lu, their faces showing disbelief.
"Impossible! Bai Lu actually defeated the Disciple of a Sannin?!"
A loud shout drowned out everyone else.
The guy wearing Goggles on his head had a face full of intense resentment.
Hmm, the last-ranked student in the whole class, Obito Uchiha.
"He was clearly, clearly at the same level as me! Why could he defeat Anko... How could this happen!"
Obito was completely stunned, clenching his jaw. He couldn't accept the massive disparity.
Why exactly? He hadn't understood the entire process at all!
Had the former Dead Last suddenly transformed and made a magnificent turnaround? After the tide receded, was he, Obito, the only Clown left behind?!
