Before Orochimaru could finish his words, his arms transformed into a bunch of entangled snake heads and attacked.

"He's really impatient. Orochimaru really has no patience for people he's not interested in."

The gap in strength between Mizuki and Orochimaru had long since exceeded the level that could be made up by numbers and tactics. In just a few rounds, Mizuki was already in a desperate situation. Illusions, traps? Such things were not even worthy of Orochimaru's attention. The barrier set up by Mizuki was a killer weapon in the eyes of ordinary ninjas, but it was just a joke in the eyes of a ninja of Orochimaru's level.

"You are at a disadvantage in terms of physical skills, ninjutsu, and reaction speed. It is such a hopeless gap. In this case, get out of here quickly. It will be bad if you are caught."

"Weren't you quite energetic just now? Why are you just hiding everywhere now? I thought you could at least bring some fun by making such a big scene, but I didn't expect that you were only at this level. If you don't have any other means, then you'll die." Mizuki was sarcastic to Uchiha Sasuke just now, but he didn't expect to be sprayed in the face in the blink of an eye. It was really retribution.

"But I'm not a child without any ability to resist." Mizuki, who was waiting for the opportunity, took advantage of Orochimaru's close approach and quickly formed a seal, "Explode."

With a loud shout, the Mizuki Kage clone exploded, and all the explosive talismans on his body detonated. Orochimaru, who was unable to dodge, was swallowed up by the explosion. Before Orochimaru could be surprised, countless kunai shurikens in the smoke came along with the shock wave of the explosion, directly piercing Orochimaru into a hedgehog.

After the explosion, the scarred Orochimaru was revealed. His body turned into mud and quickly softened and disappeared. Then a new Orochimaru appeared again. The effect of the soil substitute made the shadow clone's attack damage almost zero.

"What the hell? It turned out to be just a shadow clone? That's really unexpected. However, this is definitely not the strength that a candidate for the Chunin Exam should have. This explains why it's a barrier that can only be set up through long-term research and rich experience."

Orochimaru, who had become slightly interested, quickly sensed the movements nearby: "Sasuke and the other two over there obviously don't have this strength, and the two fainted Grass Ninjas and the useless girl don't look like that either, so..." Orochimaru's eyes suddenly locked onto a direction, "It looks like it's you."

On the other side, the Mizuki clone, who had achieved his goal, was moving away from the battlefield. Suddenly, an explosion was heard.

"The shadow clone has disappeared." A wave of memories suddenly flashed through his mind, "Is everything going well? Why did Orochimaru come so soon? Not good..."

Before Shuimu could react, a terrifying murderous aura quickly locked onto Shuimu. A huge feeling of oppression descended, making Shuimu feel almost unable to breathe, and unstoppable cold sweat flowed from his forehead.

"This killing intent is really too shocking~" Shuimu smiled bitterly, "Just now he was just joking, but now he is a little serious? Is the difference in strength between ninjas so shocking? This seems to be completely beyond the scope of cognition. The higher the strength, the greater the gap between individuals. It's unreasonable~"

Feeling the rapidly approaching murderous intent, Shuimu no longer cared about anything else.

"Since we can't resist, we have to take risks. It seems that the usual method is not going to work."

Mizuki made up his mind, struggled to take out the kunai with his right hand, then swung it down suddenly, stabbing his own thigh. Relying on the stimulation of pain, he finally suppressed the fear in his heart and barely regained the ability to move.

"Since you're so persistent, you can't blame me for making you suffer."

Shuimu, panting, took out a scroll, spread it flat on the ground, then bit his finger, quickly formed a seal and pressed the air. The scroll on the ground emitted a dazzling red light. The violent reaction directly burned the scroll into ashes, and then a red magic circle emerged out of thin air, rising higher and higher, getting bigger and bigger, until it turned into a strange formation with a diameter of ten meters floating in the air nearly a hundred meters high.

At the same time, in Mizuki's apartment in Konoha Village, Mizuki, who was looking at the sealing technique information given by the Third Hokage, suddenly felt a fluctuation. He quickly put down the things in his hands and took out a scroll that was on the top and was shaking.

"Is it really this critical?" Without bothering to think about other things, Shui Mu also activated the magic circle. A red magic circle spread out on the floor. The magic circle seemed to have an inexplicable connection with a certain direction, and it vibrated and rotated rhythmically.

Then, Shuimu took out a huge sealing scroll, opened the barrier that had been set up in the room, and finally lifted the seal.

"Whether you are Orochimaru or not, let me show you some pure power."

Suddenly, a huge amount of chakra poured out from the center of the sealed scroll and shot directly into the red magic circle below and disappeared.

The high-altitude magic circle in the Death Forest also opened up a black hole. A huge chakra crossed the void and blasted directly in the direction of Orochimaru. The huge impact force directly blew a big hole below. The shock wave swept across, breaking the surrounding trees one after another.

As the huge chakra beams continued to fall, the surrounding air continued to fluctuate, stirring up a huge tornado wrapped in dust and flying upside down. The huge energy generated by the intense friction directly produced a large area of ​​charged dust fog, in which more and more bright white lightning appeared, and finally produced a plasma rolling area that destroyed everything, crushing the land of 100 meters square into scorched earth. This was not the end. When the chakra in the air was exhausted and the area below was still in a hellish situation, the magic circle shrank sharply. The previously bound energy and the remaining terrifying space fluctuations eventually formed a dark thunder ball, which flew directly towards Orochimaru. The terrifying ball lightning that seemed slow but was actually fast swooped down with the energy to destroy everything.

"Psychic, Rashomon."

A huge, ferocious and terrifying door blocked the thunder ball, and the huge sound produced by the impact of the two spread directly throughout the entire Death Forest.

The huge impact of the thunder ball directly crushed the Rashomon. The power of lightning quickly wrapped around the Rashomon, tearing it into pieces in just a moment. The thunder ball was only slightly blocked for a moment before it moved forward again. A strong light flashed, and then violent smoke rose into the sky with a violent explosion, forming a small mushroom cloud.

Mizuki's clone had already jumped up, and after forming a seal, he immediately passed through the black hole of the magic circle that had released all the chakra. The magic circle in the air then shrank and disappeared.

At Mizuki's house in Konoha Village, the main body used summoning magic at the right time, and then a figure covered with bruises and whose bones seemed to be broken passed through the black hole formed by the chakra bombardment in the magic circle on the floor, and suddenly appeared in Mizuki's house.

"Don't exchange memories yet, give treatment first. Otherwise, if you faint from the pain, I will really die." The clone gave the order as soon as he returned to a safe place.

Shuimu didn't waste any time, and quickly gave it a dose of nutrition potion and anesthetic, then manually set the bones and straightened the multiple fractures throughout the body. Finally, he placed it in the chakra enrichment array and the healing array.

"As long as you can save your life, I will temporarily use conservative treatment, and then use the overdraft method to recover quickly. I am afraid that you will not last until the day I find a solution to the problem of vitality."

"That's fine. Anyway, there won't be any big moves in the next month. You can handle it even if you don't reveal too many of your cards."

"Got it. You should take good care of your injuries. Then, let's exchange memories and see how you ended up in this miserable state."

In the Death Forest, the mushroom cloud that rose from the ball lightning gradually dissipated, and the originally dense forest completely disappeared. A large pit with a radius of dozens of meters and a depth of more than ten meters was formed at the center of the explosion. The bottom of the pit even appeared like pieces of crystal glass due to the intense high temperature. The water in the nearby small river that was affected also slowly flowed into the pit along the low-lying area. It was believed that a small lake would be born soon.

At the bottom of the pit, a piece of soil that barely remained intact suddenly rose up and gradually turned into the shape of Orochimaru. Orochimaru was covered with wounds and had long since shed his grass-ninja skin. His clothes were tattered and his skin was charred and smoking. It was obvious that he had suffered a great loss.

"There's no other way. I never thought I would have to use this trick in a place like this."

Suddenly, Orochimaru opened his mouth, and his head gradually split open along the corner of his mouth. A human figure slowly crawled out along the crack. Although the new Orochimaru seemed a little tired, his body was unharmed. The original tattered body was like a piece of skin that was completely shed.

After settling down, Orochimaru quickly checked the surroundings. Not finding any more enemies, Orochimaru had to give up. "Did he escape? He was injured like this without even knowing who he was. This is really the first time in history." Orochimaru suddenly laughed. "This world is what I need to explore. There are always some unexpected discoveries that will not be boring. I hope we can meet earlier next time to repay you for your kindness. However, the village can't just turn a blind eye to such a big fuss. The most important thing is to quickly collect the treasure, hehe."

In Mizuki's room, Mizuki, who had just received the memory of the clone, was in so much pain that he was almost dead. Relying on the chakra accumulated by Mizuki and his fiancée Chie Tsubaki over the past few months, Mizuki used it to seal it, and then used the psychic technique to establish a coordinate connection, and then used a huge amount of chakra to directly bombard and break the space barrier, establish a temporary channel, and release the huge amount of chakra over a long distance, directly forming an attack force far beyond imagination, and finally using the temporary channel, regardless of success or failure, quickly evacuate. This trump card plan with excellent offense and defense has not been implemented until today.

However, the clone's return through reverse spiritual communication in the last step was a life-and-death experience. He had no spatial talent and no strong body to resist the squeezing of spatial turbulence. If it were not for the channel that had been temporarily opened up by the surging chakra, the clone would have been torn to pieces long ago.
