"Izayoi!!"
Seeing Izayoi suddenly appear, both Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki revealed expressions of elation, as if they had found a savior.
Especially Sasuke Uchiha, who felt an inexplicable sense of security in his heart.

"I didn't expect you guys to be so unlucky, actually getting targeted by this guy."
Izayoi grabbed Naruto and Sasuke, one in each hand, pulling them out of the swamp and tossing them back onto the ground.
Sasuke Uchiha instantly grasped the key point and quickly asked, "Izayoi, do you know who this guy is?"
"I didn't know before, I just sensed that his Chakra isn't something a Genin could possess."
Izayoi looked at Orochimaru, whose head had returned to normal and who was slowly standing up, and said, "But now, his identity is obvious at a glance. One of the legendary Three Ninja, and also one of Konoha's S-Rank Missing-nin... Orochimaru."
"It's actually him!"
Sasuke Uchiha's pupils shrank, and he looked at Orochimaru in disbelief. "A major figure from the history books, why would he appear here?"
"I don't know, but he's targeting you with a clear goal, probably because you have something he's after."
"Is it for the Sharingan?" Sasuke Uchiha understood immediately, his expression grave. "Izayoi, what do we do next?"
The subtext being, I'll listen to you next, do we fight or run?
"Escaping from the hands of such a strong person isn't a simple matter."
"The only thing we can do now is stall until reinforcements arrive."
Izayoi looked at Sasuke Uchiha and smiled. "Do you still have the ability to fight?"
"Of course." Sasuke Uchiha's lips curled up.
"And this great me, this great me can continue to fight too!" Naruto Uzumaki emphasized his presence.
Izayoi grinned and said, "In that case, let us experience the strength of a legendary ninja!"
"Heh..."
At this time, Orochimaru was also sizing up Izayoi, praising, "I didn't expect that in this generation, besides the Uchiha's descendant and that little brat, there would actually be such an excellent young man. Konoha, truly a cradle of Genius."
"But right now, I don't have time to play your little ninja games."
After saying that, Orochimaru once again used the Orochimaru Style Body Flicker Technique, and rushed towards Izayoi and the others.
Just like Izayoi said, he was in a hurry, and had to plant the Heaven Curse Mark on Sasuke Uchiha before the rescue team arrived.
However, Orochimaru, who was only focused on Sasuke Uchiha, obviously didn't expect that a monster would appear in this year's new generation.
Just as his figure burst out, Izayoi's figure disappeared from the trio in front.
As if teleporting, Izayoi appeared out of thin air in front of Orochimaru, holding a Kunai in his hand, with wisps of electricity crackling around it, and stabbed towards Orochimaru's head.
This scene made Orochimaru's pupils shrink slightly.
A familiar method of movement, but the speed was even more astonishing than Sasuke Uchiha's.
At the same time, Orochimaru swiftly spat out a sword, extending it to break Izayoi's Kunai and attempting to pierce Izayoi's neck.
This kind of response was unprecedented; without prior knowledge, one might be caught off guard.
However, just as the sword broke the Kunai, Izayoi's figure vanished.
What entered Orochimaru's eyes was Sasuke Uchiha leaping into the air, spitting out a wisp of flame from his mouth, which quickly transformed into a giant fire dragon.
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
Sasuke Uchiha, with Chakra reserves far surpassing those in the original story, preferred and was more skilled at using the Great Dragon Fire Technique under Izayoi's tutelage, rather than the Fireball Technique.
Watching the incoming fire dragon, Orochimaru didn't dodge or evade, allowing the fire dragon to engulf him.
In the flames, Orochimaru's body turned into a pool of liquid.
"This is... an Earth Substitution!"
Sasuke Uchiha's expression slightly changed in the air. After landing, his eyes stared intently at the ground, the Sharingan tomoe spinning wildly, fearing that Orochimaru would emerge from the ground as before.
Whoosh—
At that moment, a sound of something cutting through the air was heard.
A giant serpent burst out from behind a fallen tree, opening its bloody maw, attempting to swallow Sasuke Uchiha whole.
Sasuke Uchiha smiled disdainfully, then his figure disappeared into thin air, reappearing below the serpent, kicking the serpent's head, violently closing its open mouth.
But the next second, Sasuke Uchiha's expression changed drastically.
The serpent's abdomen suddenly ruptured, and a figure emerged, extending a hand that transformed into a swarm of snakes.
"Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!"
This kind of surprise attack caught Sasuke Uchiha off guard.
Having just used Shadow Dance Leaf and not yet retracted his move, he could only watch as the swarm of snakes was about to bind him.
Just then, the voice that filled him with a sense of security sounded again.
"Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique."
Izayoi and the transparent white wind blades appeared almost out of nowhere.
The incredibly sharp wind blades not only instantly severed the swarm of snakes but also cut the giant serpent in two.
"It's you again, brat!"
Seeing Izayoi once again interfering with his attempt to plant the Cursed Seal, Orochimaru's mood instantly turned sour.
Just as he was preparing to teach Izayoi a lesson, his expression slightly changed.
Izayoi, who had just unleashed a wind blade, retracted his hand into his sleeve, then suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a burst of flames, engulfing Orochimaru, who had just emerged from the serpent's abdomen and had no time to use the Substitution Technique or Earth Release.
"Aaaah..."
Orochimaru, engulfed in flames, let out a miserable scream.
Izayoi pressed the attack, leaping several meters into the air from the spot.
"Sasuke, get back!"
Izayoi warned, then raised both hands, and a blue energy ball immediately appeared between his hands, rapidly expanding like a balloon.
Sasuke Uchiha quickly vanished using Body Flicker Technique.
When he reappeared, he was already next to Naruto Uzumaki, who was watching Izayoi and Sasuke Uchiha's performance in stunned silence.
Before he could pull Naruto Uzumaki behind a tree to hide, Izayoi's voice reached his ears.
"Gaia Energy Cannon!"
Turning his head, he saw Izayoi holding a huge, ultra-high-speed rotating energy ball.
This energy ball was originally blue on the outside and white on the inside, but in the next second, the white inside was replaced by orange-red, and then the entire energy ball turned into a large fireball.
The size was not much different from Great Fireball Technique, but it contained energy that was many times more powerful.
With a loud shout, Izayoi threw the orange-red energy ball towards the ground below.
Boom————
A deafening explosion resounded through half of the Death Forest.
The Special Jonin and Jonin who had already intervened in this exam, and even the ninja squads mobilized by the Anbu, all saw a huge Fire Tornado raging in the sky above the forest ahead, taller than the trees.
"What a terrifying Fire Release! Is it a composite Ninjutsu enhanced with Wind Release?"
Even the all-rounder Jonin, who had mastered at least two nature transformations, were shocked by this scene.
"First a large-scale Wind Release, and then a Fire Release of this level, could it be... someone is fighting Orochimaru?"
Thinking of this possibility, some ninjas' expressions changed again.
If that's the case, doesn't that mean that this year's Chunin Exams has a monster?
