Facing Naruto rushing towards him, Orochimaru actually became interested.

"This ominous chakra is really familiar."

Naruto, who no longer had much rationality, had completely stopped considering any tactics. He fought completely on instinct and passion, kicking, punching, and even biting with his teeth, but he was too powerless against the thick-skinned giant python.

Sasuke, who was frightened by Orochimaru and unable to move, finally regained his mobility. Looking at Naruto's crazy attacks without any effect, Sasuke finally understood the huge gap between them and Orochimaru. This was not a problem that could be made up by numbers. Whether the three of them could survive depended entirely on whether the other party showed mercy.

"But even so, I will never surrender." Sasuke, knowing his situation, immediately took action. Regardless of his exhausted body, he opened his Sharingan again, and then coordinated with Naruto's attack, rushing up and starting close combat with Orochimaru.

Although Orochimaru was good at ninjutsu, a ninja of this level no longer had any obvious weaknesses. With the help of his modified soft body technique, he did not give Sasuke and Naruto any chance. And Haruno Sakura, who recovered at the end, was not even qualified to get close, and could only throw kunai and shuriken in vain, unable to even make the most basic interference.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Orochimaru didn't want to waste any more time. Sasuke's current level was already clear, and Naruto over there also gave Orochimaru an increasingly bad feeling. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Uzumaki Naruto got close again, Orochimaru stretched out his snake-like tongue from his mouth to tie up Naruto, and with his left hand he opened his shirt to reveal the seal on his stomach.

"As expected, you are the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. I didn't expect you to be still alive. The old man Sandaime is still so naive."

Then Orochimaru silently circulated chakra in his right hand and hit Naruto hard.

"Five Elements Seal~"

As Orochimaru's sealing technique took effect, Naruto, who was originally full of energy, immediately fainted from the pain, and the Nine-Tails chakra that permeated his body also dissipated.

Seeing this, Sasuke hurried to rescue, but was caught by Orochimaru's Shadow Snake Hand.

"Don't be too anxious, Sasuke-kun. I will give you a gift that is very suitable for you soon, and then you will be able to experience what power is." As Orochimaru said this, he suddenly stretched his neck, opened his mouth wide and bit Sasuke's shoulder.

Unbearable pain came, and Sasuke's screams echoed all around. Sakura, who had just settled the seriously injured and unconscious Naruto, could only watch Sasuke being cruelly treated without any way to do anything. It was barely enough for her to attract Orochimaru's attention with her own strength.

As everything settled down, Sasuke knelt on the ground in agony, howling. After a while, the unbearable pain caused Sasuke to faint.

"Thank you for my gift. If one day you feel that you are not strong enough, come to me and I will give you the power of revenge." After saying this, Orochimaru disappeared into the tree trunk, leaving behind only the helpless Haruno Sakura, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke who were unaware of what was happening.

…

Mitarashi Anko staggered through the forest of the Death Forest, relying on the seal on her neck to sense Orochimaru, and finally found Orochimaru's trace. She originally thought that after so many years, with her own strength, she should be able to die together with the person who brought her pain, but she didn't expect that it was just an arrogant wishful thinking. The feeling of despair has hardly changed from many years ago.

"I was let off just because of the other party's disdainful sympathy. Do I still have to continue with the Chunin Exam?" Mitarashi Anko couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In Konoha Village, until the moon was at its zenith, no one came to inform Shuimu that there was a mission. In fact, Shuimu was wrong. After all, he was a seriously injured soldier who had just recovered from a serious illness. With Konoha's confidence, they would not ask Shuimu to fight to the death while he was sick. In this case, Shuimu was happy to be idle.

"This unsuccessful space shuttle did provide some good data. The theory is feasible, but how to achieve stable and safe teleportation is really a hassle. I can't always use Sage Mode every time I teleport in the future, right? I haven't heard of how troublesome Flying Thunder God Technique and Kamui are. Am I making some misunderstanding?"

In Shuimu's opinion, the space ninjutsu of this world should not be so difficult. For Shuimu, the complicated space positioning is not to mention, the energy required to break through the space is already incredible, and the turbulence in the space is even more dangerous. Not to mention the high-level ninjutsu with the word "God" in its name, in a sense, low-level and medium-level ninjutsu that can achieve space conversion are not uncommon.

The body-flickering technique is considered an advanced ninjutsu, a short-distance space teleportation effect, and the principle is unknown. The body-substitution technique, a thorough entry-level ninjutsu, actually has a similar space replacement effect, and the principle of the ninjutsu is also unclear. These two are relatively common ninjutsu with space attributes, and Mizuki is even unclear whether they are space ninjutsu.

"What is going on in this messed up world? There should be some reason. How can a paranoid engineering guy survive?"

On the Hokage Rock, the white-haired Jiraiya was observing the Konoha Village in the night under the moonlight.

"Konoha's prestige has been destroyed. Orochimaru is fine, but even some evildoers dare to come to the village to fight." Jiraiya muttered to himself with a headache, "Even our allies are ready to make a move. It looks like this Chunin Exam will not end well." Jiraiya, who shoulders the responsibility of guiding the child of destiny, is also worried about the future of the village.

In the central tower of the Forest of Death, the three Sand Ninjas finally reached their destination, which made Kankuro and Temari breathe a sigh of relief.

"At least we made it through safely. There shouldn't be any problems here," Temari said with lingering fear.

"Who knows? It's not clear if there will be a fight next. If Gaara is seen bleeding again, I don't know what will happen." Kankuro answered worriedly, "But we came so quickly, no one will come for a long time. We can have a buffer period of time. It shouldn't be a problem for Gaara to calm down."

The three Sand Ninjas escaped from danger, but the other candidates were not so lucky, especially Karin. Although she was not very strong, she managed to escape by being alert to danger. However, she was alone and did not even have the ability to survive in the dangerous Death Forest.

When she found her teammates buried under the rubble with her superhuman perception, they were barely alive. Her hope of passing the Chunin Exam was completely gone. The stubborn and resolute girl did not hesitate and followed Mizuki's advice to open the Scroll of Earth in her hand.
