Ugh...
The howling wind, like a typhoon passing through, echoed through half of the Death Forest.
Especially the examinees who were closer to Seventh Squad, had just turned their heads to look in the direction of the wind when the strong wind swept in.
Examinees who were flashing through the area were blown away by the strong wind and crashed into towering trees.
Examinees walking on the ground were pushed hard, directly falling to the ground.
Crack...
Rumble...
Mixed in with the sound of the wind were the sounds of objects breaking and collapsing.
The scene zoomed in, showing that the airflow in a certain area was already distorted, like a whirlpool in the sea.
The towering trees in the whirlpool bent down one after another, and finally broke apart under the pressure, crashing heavily to the ground, stirring up dust and mist.
Fortunately, these strong winds were not sharp, and the Death Forest was a primeval forest, with each tree being a towering giant that took more than a dozen people to encircle, making them extremely tough.
Otherwise, more trees would have been broken, and even this area would have been turned into ruins.
Even so, this scene was no less than the Wind Release: Air Current Dance performed by Temari leading the Wind Release Squad against the Ten-Tails in the original Fourth Shinobi World War, and may even be stronger.
When the strong wind disappeared, the forest where Seventh Squad was located had become a mess.
Naruto Uzumaki's three hundred Shadow Clones had disappeared, blasted away by his own Wind Release.
"This... this is the strength of the dead last?"
Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, who had been sent behind by the Shadow Clone and were using a towering tree as cover, looked at the devastated forest, their eyes trembling.
Obviously, Sasuke Uchiha didn't expect Naruto Uzumaki to be so strong.
"No way, Naruto is so strong?!" Sakura Haruno also covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Due to the mission to the Land of Waves, they did not encounter Zabuza Momochi. Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno's impression of Naruto Uzumaki was still stuck in the stage of being played by Kakashi Hatake and being frightened by the Demon Brothers.
The only bright spot was that he had a large amount of Chakra and had learned the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique from somewhere.
But they didn't expect that Naruto Uzumaki actually possessed the power to create natural disasters!
If he was the dead last, then what was she, the top student?
So... she was the weakest one in the team!
"Hahaha..."
At this moment, a burst of laughter entered their ears.
Looking in the direction of the sound.
On a fallen tree, Naruto Uzumaki put his hands on his hips, laughing triumphantly: "Have you seen how powerful I am! This is my true strength, whether it's Izayoi, or Hinata and Smelly Sasuke, or that Bushy Brows, they will all become my underlings!"
"A very powerful Combination Technique, I was almost killed by you."
Suddenly, a voice rang in Naruto Uzumaki's ear, bringing his laughter to an abrupt halt.
Before Naruto Uzumaki could turn his head or use Body Flicker Technique to distance himself, two large snakes, like ropes, bound his body, exposing only his stomach.
Then, an unscathed figure slowly emerged from the ground, a playful smile on his face.
"Damn it, let me go."
Naruto Uzumaki struggled incessantly, his eyes unknowingly turning into red vertical slits.
Seeing these eyes, Orochimaru chuckled, "As expected, it's you, brat."
"What do you mean 'as expected, it's me'? What are you talking about?" Naruto Uzumaki shouted, "If you have the guts, let me go and then fight me fair and square!"
"Heh..."
Orochimaru chuckled, "If you hadn't used that Combination Technique just now, I wouldn't have minded playing with you. But now, you should be quiet."
With that, Orochimaru lifted Naruto Uzumaki's clothes with one hand, while the fingers of his other hand were entwined with a blue Chakra flame, the flames forming the five characters of wind, fire, water, earth, and lightning.
"Let go of Naruto!"
At that moment, Sasuke Uchiha's voice came from afar, and his figure appeared out of nowhere next to Orochimaru, launching a kick.
Unfortunately, he was a little too slow.
"Five Elements Seal!"
Orochimaru's fingers became like claws, striking Naruto Uzumaki's stomach with one palm, while raising his other hand to block Sasuke Uchiha's incoming kick.
Naruto Uzumaki was sent flying by the palm strike, and Orochimaru was also kicked away by Sasuke Uchiha.
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique."
Sasuke Uchiha pressed his advantage, quickly forming hand seals and spitting out a wisp of flame that grew into a fire dragon, roaring towards Orochimaru.
Having landed, Orochimaru looked at Sasuke Uchiha's double tomoe Sharingan through the fire dragon, his eyes filled with greed.
At this moment, he seemed to return to the time when he secretly watched Itachi Uchiha train.
Such speed, and opening the double tomoe Sharingan at this age.
Perhaps this young man is not much inferior to his brother.
He must obtain such a body.
Thus, Orochimaru quickly formed hand seals: "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall."
With a bang, a thick and wide wall rose from the ground, blocking the roaring fire dragon.
Sasuke Uchiha, who had already used Lightning Release Chakra Stimulation Cells to increase his speed, did not go around to the back, but instead took out a Kunai, quickly cut the snakes binding Naruto Uzumaki, and then dragged Naruto Uzumaki, and rushed towards the forest.
"Sasuke, where are you taking me?"
The already inflated Naruto Uzumaki shouted loudly, "Hurry up and put me down, I'm going to make that snake-playing guy look good!"
"Idiot, can't you see it yet?" Sasuke Uchiha scolded in a low voice, "Your level of Wind Release can't hurt him at all, we are not on the same level as him."
Hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki finally sobered up.
Oh right, all he knows right now is that one Combination Technique.
The opponent only needs to use Earth Release to burrow underground, and they can easily evade his attack.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Sasuke Uchiha's speed is very fast; if he were escaping alone, perhaps Orochimaru would need some time to catch up.
Unfortunately, he has a burden by his side.
Before they had even left the ruins and entered the forest, Orochimaru's voice reached their ears.
Turning their heads, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki were nearly scared to death.
They saw Orochimaru's body contorted, like a human snake, yet he was rushing towards them with the speed of an arrow.
That terrifying face, that hideous smile, even if they escaped this calamity, would likely leave a considerable shadow in the minds of Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
Naruto Uzumaki hastily formed hand seals, wanting to create hundreds or thousands of Shadow Clones once again.
Unfortunately, his Chakra is currently extremely chaotic, and he can only create twenty or so Shadow Clones.
As soon as these Shadow Clones appeared, they quickly formed hand seals, preparing to once again unleash Wind Release: Great Breakthrough.
But in the next second, these Shadow Clones, just like Sasuke Uchiha when he first learned Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique, could only exhale a small gust of air.
"Eh! How could this be?!" Naruto Uzumaki widened his eyes and shouted in disbelief.
"It's the Sealing Technique from earlier!"
Sasuke Uchiha was drenched in cold sweat, becoming even more certain that this guy was definitely not a Genin.
Seeing that escape was impossible, Sasuke Uchiha directly threw Naruto Uzumaki to the side, turned around, and charged towards Orochimaru, shouting, "Dead last, I'll buy you time, go outside and find help."
"No way, this great me can't do something like abandoning a comrade!"
Naruto Uzumaki, upon landing, got up and was about to rush over to fight alongside Sasuke Uchiha.
"Hurry up and go, now is not the time to be willful!" Sasuke Uchiha shouted while throwing ninja tools at Orochimaru, "This guy isn't a Genin, the commotion just now must have attracted the attention of the proctors, if you go find help now, we can both survive, otherwise you, me, and Sakura will all die!"
"In that case, this great me can't abandon you even more." Naruto Uzumaki said with a firm gaze, then formed hand seals again, shouting, "Shadow Clone Technique."
With a few poof sounds, several Shadow Clones appeared around Naruto Uzumaki, then scattered and flew towards the outside of the Death Forest.
As for the original body, it charged towards Orochimaru.
Little did he know that his sense of loyalty would harm Sasuke Uchiha.
Sasuke Uchiha, who had initially mastered Lightning Release Chakra Stimulation Cells, was a bit faster than Rock Lee, who was wearing weights.
Coupled with the Sharingan's perceptive abilities, even Orochimaru would need to use Orochimaru-Style Ninjutsu or Earth Release to capture him.
Now that Naruto Uzumaki had entered the fray, not only could Sasuke Uchiha not fight freely, but he also had to constantly consider the safety of this comrade.
Orochimaru also noticed this, so he changed his target from Sasuke Uchiha to Naruto Uzumaki.
In just a few rounds, he allowed Sasuke Uchiha to fall into his trap, and both he and Naruto Uzumaki were trapped with their feet stuck in the swampy ground, and they were also bound into rice dumplings by large snakes.
Just as Orochimaru formed hand seals, extending his neck to plant the Heaven Curse Mark on Sasuke Uchiha's neck.
Bang!
A figure appeared out of nowhere, a punch landing squarely on Orochimaru's face, the powerful force making it seem as if the fist would sink into his head.
Orochimaru's head was like a baseball, directly blasted away by the punch, taking his body with it as it flew.
The one who threw the punch was none other than the Show-Up-On-Time Bro who arrived late—Izayoi.
