"It's actually a shadow clone...? This... how is this possible?!"

Seeing the inevitable blow, only destroying another shadow clone of Naruto. Orochimaru was stunned and before he could recall what the Saint Seiya in Naruto's words meant. Even Naruto's words were completely heard, he flew backwards in a mess before a severe pain from his abdomen, with a shocking power!

“Um…”

While groaning with pain, Orochimaru, who had already extended his neck, knew that it was not the time to care about his face. Then he gritted his teeth and made a secret decision. Before his body was completely off the ground, he kept his mouth open and bit the ground without hesitation. Then, with the help of the continuous friction between the teeth and the ground, the buffering and unloading force brought by the cushioning force, he quickly stopped the backward flight momentum. He also landed lightly and smoothly on the ground while receiving the body and returning the length of his neck to normal state.

"Ph, ph, ph, ph, ph—! This feeling is... tsk, no wonder he didn't find his body just now. Even when launching an attack, there was no warning..."

After spitting out most of the mud and sand in his mouth in a rather embarrassing manner, Orochimaru raised his hand and wiped his stained face slightly. While frowning from the pain that still came from his abdomen, he immediately stared at Naruto and muttered to himself in greater confusion.

"It was a real attack, but I couldn't sense any murderous intent on that little guy... Although I don't know how this guy did it, if there is no early warning of murderous intent, it will be much more difficult and troublesome to deal with..."

After all, when you reach Orochimaru's level, you use your eyes to observe your opponent... more often, you use your extraordinary perception to predict your opponent's actions. Then, based on this, block, dodge, or interrupt in advance before the action is completed!

But the basis of all this is based on the murderous intent that can be perceived by the opponent when attacking, and inevitably more or less revealing!

This is also the reason why Orochimaru was treating the "Naruto" who "got into the trap" as his own body when he just put a trap on Naruto - because in the previous careful perception search, except for the "Naruto" who naturally exposed the murderous intention when he launched an attack, Orochimaru could not sense any other malicious existence from around him!

What's more, in Orochimaru's current rough investigation... Naruto at this moment, let alone murderous intent, anger and other negative emotions. Even the positive emotions such as joy and excitement that should appear after the attack was successfully hit, there was no sign of existence! So Naruto, who was wrapped in Orochimaru's perception, gave Orochimaru the feeling like a calm lake, without a slight ripples. It even made Orochimaru's heart vaguely produce a "illusion" that Naruto would not change at all due to external factors!

In addition, what Orochimaru cares more is the significant changes in Naruto's body shape...

Obviously, anyone with a discerning eye can know that such a big change would happen to Naruto must be related to this strange figure... But what would it be?

"Can you say that this kid has turned into a tailed beast?"

"No, no, no, no... I won't mention the tailed beast clothing that should appear in the state of tailed beast transformation does not exist at all... Just this state of mind that is as calm as water is definitely not something that can be achieved by the tailed beast transformation that is easily trapped in the state of rampage..."

"But if it weren't for the transformation of a tailed beast, what would it be? Is some kind of secret technique to temporarily improve strength..."

As his mind turned sharply, Orochimaru was puzzled by the reason for the amazing changes that happened to Naruto in a short period of time...

But even so, Orochimaru had somehow developed an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart for Naruto's strange posture... the feeling was like...

Where have I seen this trick before? At least, I have also met someone who used a weird chakra exactly the same as Naruto now?

Just as Orochimaru was thinking in surprise and wondering, he witnessed the heavy punch he had planned for a long time, which was actually Naruto who was "easily" resolved by Orochimaru. He paused his movements and raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself.

"Ha? I didn't feel anything when I punched me... Tsk, I thought that the strange power of this immortal mode could be like a bald cloak man in the crew next door. He just punched him and directly solved it..."

Of course, no matter how much you complain... Naruto, who knows that with his current physical condition, would never be able to maintain the immortal mode for too long, would definitely not give Orochimaru an extra chance to breathe. Then, when he paused for a moment, adjusted and suppressed the attack inside his body, he faintly had the natural energy of the crisis of losing control. Naruto narrowed his eyes and poured all the refined immortal chakra on his feet. Then, with a step, he seemed to have used a space ninja, and instantly jumped directly above Orochimaru's head!

"…Hmm? So fast!"

Because of distracting thoughts, Orochimaru's attention was stunned for a moment. After realizing that Naruto's figure in his sight had disappeared, it was already too late to carefully explore Naruto's location. Then he gritted his teeth secretly, because Naruto had no emotional leakage, resulting in the inability to make any predictions. Orochimaru could only use his combat experience to predict the direction of Naruto's attack, while rolling on the spot, as quickly as possible!

"call out--!"

Just as Orochimaru's body had just left the place, the movement of lowering his body when Orochimaru rolled on the spot caused Naruto's fist, which was carrying a huge force, to have a sound of breaking through the air, and barely passed between Orochimaru's hair!

Obviously, Orochimaru's prediction was successful! But...

This means that Orochimaru avoided Naruto's attack?

"Huh... Fortunately, the movement is fast enough... If you are punched hard again, your body will probably be unable to bear it... Tsk, I don't know what this brat did. The sudden increase in power is almost catching up with the strange power of Tsunade."

After realizing that the attack and the body had just passed, Orochimaru, who had already taken a punch, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then, with the high concentration of attention, the movements brought by the rapid slowdown like bullet time. While his mind was turning sharply, he was thinking about how he should deal with Naruto in this state. While raising his eyebrows slightly, he muttered to himself.

"But now, it's my turn to fight back... After all, once such attacks rely on brute force fail, there should be a considerable stagnation... Uh-?!"

However, before Orochimaru could say everything he wanted... the next second, Orochimaru's body, who should have avoided the attack, suddenly felt a familiar huge force. Then, unexpectedly, he changed the original action of leaning forward and rolling forward to being knocked down and sinking into the ground!

"This...this feeling is...how is it possible? I should have avoided it?!"

As his eyes were about to break, Orochimaru, who was filled with incredible meaning, subconsciously turned his head. While watching Naruto's fist, the scene that had just rubbed his head with him appeared. While Naruto's attack had obviously failed and he didn't even touch his body, he still knocked himself to the ground. In the face of the strange fact that he could not move, he was hoarse and roared in confusion.

"Uh--! Bastard! What did you do? Why did I avoid the attack, but I still hit me!"

"Explain the principle of moves to the enemy? Orochimaru, are you an idiot when you are a little master? You explained it to you clearly, how can you beat you happily?"

Unfortunately, facing Orochimaru's unwilling roar, Naruto not only did not have any tendency to solve his doubts. Instead, he adhered to the purpose of defeating the enemy in an unknown way, and teased and joking with expressionless expression.

"What's more... who told you that you dodged the attack just now?"

While speaking, Naruto's offensive did not slow down at all. Instead, he took advantage of your illness and killed you and blew his fists like rain. He vented the fierce attack like a storm and rain without hesitation on Orochimaru!

"Uh... Uh--! Damn it! It's the same again!"

Seeing that the information that he could not easily draw from Naruto's mouth made Orochimaru angry, while he was unheard of his strange attack methods, which made Orochimaru seem helpless. Then, under Naruto's attack suppression, he was in a mess and dodged as much as possible. Because he saw the attack fail, he still had a severe pain in the attack hitting himself as before, and became more irritable and angry.

"Even though I dodged, I still felt like I was hit... Could it be that I used some illusion to block the real attack trajectory?!"

Of course, all of his mind was distracted. While spending his continuous attack and suppression of Orochimaru, he also put his full efforts to suppress the natural energy riot in his body and lost control. This made Naruto, who seemed majestic, actually had no extra thoughts at all to perform illusions. Not to mention that Naruto had never practiced illusions, the level of illusions at the three-legged cat-level illusions was completely impossible to affect the powerful ones of Orochimaru’s level!

The reason why Naruto was able to do it was that his attack had obviously failed, but he still hit Orochimaru's strangeness. What he relied on was the Myoki Mountain lineage. In order to match the immortal mode and immortal chakra, one of the unique tactics and techniques developed - the Frog Group Hand [another translation name is frog training]!

Using this technique, Naruto can transform a part of the natural energy around him into his own use with every attack. Then, while using this extra natural energy as part of his body, like an arm control, Naruto's attack range naturally expanded a lot! So even if he watched helplessly, Naruto's attack could not touch Orochimaru's body, it could still cause an effective blow to Orochimaru without any discount!

Of course, it's no wonder Orochimaru thinks about illusion...

After all, judging from Naruto's previous performance of endless ghost ideas, the possibility of doing this is indeed quite large...

What's more, in the original work, the skill of the immortal mode, who can learn and master it thoroughly, looks at the entire Naruto world, no more than a finger of a slap! Not to mention the magic chakra that can be extracted only in the magic chakra, as well as a series of unique techniques and moves that can only be used by the magic chakra...

In other words, including the Immortal Mode, the information that records this series of moves and changes. Even if you search the entire world, it is still more rare than the secret technique of the Tailed Beast, or even some of the Naruto world's family secret techniques and bloodstain boundaries! So much so that Orochimaru, who knows nothing about the Immortal Mode [at least the Immortal Mode of the Myoki Mountain lineage, seems so off guard, which is understandable.

But, saying that... But for the poor Orochimaru who seemed to be able to withstand it, but for a while, could not make an effective counterattack. Naruto's offensive not only did not hesitate or pause at all, but instead quickly consumed the lost natural energy in his body like a floodgate being opened, holding the idea of ​​subduing Orochimaru as soon as possible, making the attack become more and more rapid and violent!

It is precisely because of this that Orochimaru, who was busy dealing with - or passively enduring - attacked by Naruto, failed to notice in time... Naruto, who had originally used the unfinished version of the immortal mode, had become much ugly. At this moment, as time passed, it began to gradually recover to its original normal appearance!

"Hmm? Have you started to be unable to hold on? I've really miscalculated... Tsk, if it looks like this, it's much shorter than I expected..."

As the person involved, Naruto, who clearly noticed the subtle changes in his body, couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly. Then he continued to maintain high-intensity offensive suppression, making it difficult for Orochimaru to free up his free time. While he was a little distracted, he looked at his fists that had disappeared a lot of knots and the originally looming frogs, which had quietly returned to normal. He shook his head helplessly and sighed quietly in his heart.

"Without using any ninjutsu, it was only less than two minutes to consume so much magic chakra... After all, the limit of natural energy that this child's body can accommodate is too little..."

"As the rate of development continues, I'm afraid I'm forced to remove the immortal mode earlier than Ultraman who can only play for three minutes in the next crew...?"
