Chapter 202: Naruto vs Orochimaru Part 1

"Useless…" Naruto scoffed at the half-hearted attempt to stop them.

He waved his hand at the snakes, creating a powerful gust of wind that pushed back everything in front of him.

This was a modified version of Great Breakthrough, the first wind jutsu he had ever learned. Simple enough to use instantly, and it allowed him to apply as much force as needed, making it a very useful tool for a large variety of situations.

The gigantic snakes were helpless under Naruto's technique, as they had nowhere to anchor themselves so they went flying very far, despite their heavy bodies.

Orochimaru was also hit but managed to secure himself in place using his chakra.

The snakes crashed into the lake, sending up huge splashes of water that rained down on the Sannin, wetting his hair and clothes. Judging by his expression, he was not amused by this.

But neither was Naruto. "If you treat me like the child you fought three years ago… I can guarantee this will be a short fight." He warned the Sannin with a harsh tone.

"Was that a jutsu? I didn't see any hand signs," Yamato asked, puzzled by what he just saw.

Naruto turned around and snapped. "Why are you two still here?!. Just move already."

Kakashi did his best to hide the fact that he also got distracted and responded quickly. "He's right… let's go."

However, their oponent wasn't going to let them leave that easily.

"Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes!" Orochimaru opened his mouth, releasing a tide of venomous snakes.

"Hmmph… trying to overwhelm me with numbers?" Naruto used the same technique as before, unleashing a powerful gust of wind to push everything back into the lake.

However, the smaller snakes quickly burrowed into the ground, avoiding the wind entirely.

"Okay… I'd have been disappointed if the same thing worked again."

Naruto leaped into the air as Kakashi and Yamato used the opportunity to flee.

Some snakes emerged to chase them, but the rest focused on Naruto.

While mid-air, Naruto pointed downward and created a massive fireball that engulfed a large area below.

The impact of the flames was immediately followed by the shrieks of countless snakes.

"Wind and fire elemental jutsu… that is very impressive, little one," Orochimaru commented. "But you haven't eliminated them all, and now you have to come down." He gestured with his hand.

As Orochimaru predicted, the fire dissipated, and Naruto's upward momentum faded, sending him plummeting back to the ground.

Countless snakes poked their heads out of the earth, waiting for their chance to strike with their deadly fangs.

"Just one little bite, and you're finished," Orochimaru sneered, clearly enjoying himself.

Naruto noticed Kakashi and Yamato had successfully escaped and were running toward the other side of the lake, where Kabuto had taken the boy. So he was no finally able to move more freely.

Before touching the ground, Naruto used the second stage of his movement technique, propelling himself off the air as if it were a solid platform. He launched himself away, leaving another fireball behind to deal with the remaining snakes.

Orochimaru's expression shifted to surprise. Even with his newly acquired Sharingan, he hadn't been able to analyze any of Naruto's jutsu so far.

He recognized the techniques, like the Great Fireball Jutsu, but only because of his vast knowledge of ninja techniques. His ocular ability had provided no insight.

This meant that if Naruto used an unfamiliar jutsu, he would not be able to copy it.

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed as he saw Naruto charging directly at him. "How careless…" he scoffed. No matter how much Naruto had improved, he still didn't consider the boy as an equal.

Extending his left arm, Orochimaru summoned a torrent of snakes from his sleeve to intercept Naruto.

"You're obsessed with those creatures," Naruto remarked. He had never encountered anyone so fixated on a single species of beast to use as assistance.

A Rasengan formed in Naruto's hand, but it quickly began to change.

Infusing it with wind chakra, the sphere turned green, sprouting cutting blades of wind. Naruto hurled the jutsu at Orochimaru, using his movement technique to reposition himself in mid-air.

The Wind Release: Rasengan shredded through Orochimaru's summoned snakes, forcing him to sever the connection and retreat a few steps.

Naruto landed behind Orochimaru and created a new Rasengan, this one infused with fire.

Orochimaru anticipated the attack and burrowed underground to avoid the intense heat, much like his snakes did earlier.

The fiery, rotating inferno crashed with the earth, melting dirt and stone while raising the temperature in the area.

Orochimaru emerged from the ground a hundred yards away, his face contorted in displeasure. His right shoulder has become scorched.

Despite his quick reaction, the Sannin had underestimated the intensity of Naruto's technique and suffered for it.

"Very well… you asked for this. I'll take you more seriously now," Orochimaru growled, anger flashing in his eyes. "This will only take a minute."

He bit his finger and performed another summoning jutsu.

This time, the creature that appeared was many times bigger than the ones from before and it was easily the largest snake Naruto had ever seen.

Standing atop its head, Orochimaru sneered and pointed down, "Manda! I want you to kill this bug right now!"
