It is common for ninjas to use the weak to defeat the strong. There are too many unexpected situations in battle and many factors that affect victory or defeat.

For ninjas, as long as the strength gap is not too great, it is rare for the battle to be one-sided.

There is a gap in strength between Uchiha Sasuke and Kabuto Yakushi, but it is not as big as imagined.

Kabuto Yakushi has a considerable advantage in overall strength, but he is far inferior to Sasuke in speed.

Speed ​​is a very useful skill among ninjas. If used well, it can make up for many of their own shortcomings.

Although he was suppressed by Sasuke's expertise, Kabuto Yakushi used the chakra scalpel with both hands skillfully and used his own experience to defend himself perfectly. No matter whether it was the Chidori Senbon or the Chidori Blade flying up and down, he was not hurt at all. As for the Chidori Sharp Lance, which was slower in attack speed, it was completely useless under Kabuto Yakushi's vigilance.

"It seems you have no tricks left!"

Kabuto Yakushi spoke confidently while dealing with Uchiha Sasuke's attacks with ease.

Sasuke silently used his super high speed to constantly look for Kabuto Yakushi's flaws. His active and proactive attack also prevented Kabuto Yakushi from making much of a counterattack.

Time is on Sasuke's side. The huge chakra fluctuations in the distance have gradually subsided, and the battle between Mizuki and Tenzo has come to an end.

Since the first time Tianzang sent out a distress signal, there has been no more information needing help, which means that it is most likely victory.

Since the support of Tenzo and Mizuki will appear at any time, Sasuke doesn't have to be impatient to fight a life-and-death battle with Kabuto Yakushi.

The Sixteen Pillar Binding Technique had been going on for a while, and the situation inside was completely unknown. But as long as the barrier had not been broken, it proved that Shuimu's clone was temporarily safe.

Even if the situation is not right, the loss of a clone will not affect the original body. The trouble is on your side. You must hold on until Mizuki arrives. No matter whether it is the original body or the clone, sometimes with the presence of space ninjutsu, your safety is guaranteed.

The risks of close combat are also huge, and Sasuke will naturally not let go of other powers, especially the family-inherited ninja tool manipulation techniques.

"Sharingan Windmill - San no Tachi!"

Sasuke shot kunai and shuriken from tricky angles, and combined with the faster Chidori Senbon, it greatly interfered with Kabuto Yakushi's judgment.

The Sharingan's ability to predict the trajectory of ninja tools and accurately grasp the enemy is one of Sasuke's reliances. The three-magatama Sharingan has reached the limit of the Uchiha family's bloodline limit in the general sense.

Kabuto Yakushi dodged the kunai's attack by the nick of time, and Sasuke pulled the throwing tools at the right moment, and the tools bent and wrapped around Kabuto Yakushi again.

By twisting and turning, Yao Shidou relied on his rich experience and barely avoided the encirclement of flying hidden weapons.

If the fight continued in such a dull manner, Sasuke would not be unacceptable, and Kabuto Yakushi did not think that Orochimaru would lose to a clone of Mizuki, even if he was in poor physical condition.

However, an accident happened. The place where Kabuto Yakushi and Uchiha Sasuke were fighting involuntarily moved closer to the only obstacle within a few hundred meters, the summoning beast Hata-kun. If they wanted to make tactical changes, appropriate terrain differences were indispensable. The endless sand sea plain was more suitable for a ninja like Uchiha Sasuke who had a speed advantage.

Just as Kabuto Yakushi was dodging Chidori Senbon, a huge bear paw suddenly raised up and slammed Kabuto Yakushi heavily into the soft sand.

The heavy body of Hata-kun, who had been lying on the ground, stood up flexibly. He stomped hard several times, creating a sand pit about a meter deep where Yakushi Dou was. Then he lowered his head, opened his mouth and bit one of Yakushi Dou's legs, then picked it up, raised his head and glared, shaking his head rapidly.

The dizzy Yakushi Kabuto was tossed around like a rag, and finally bitten into two pieces by the giant bear's roar and fell down. Unfortunately, he turned into broken wood while still in mid-air.

"Substitution Technique! Pretty quick."

Kabuto Yakushi did not completely avoid harm, as evidenced by the blood on the giant bear's mouth and claws.

Twenty meters away, a disheveled and bloody Kabuto Yakushi appeared in the sight of Sasuke and the giant bear.

"Is this bear so resistant to poison?"

It would be fine if it was difficult to take effect, but he actually recovered his combat power so quickly.

At this moment, Shuimu's clone appeared out of nowhere on the back of the giant bear.

"What do you think my spiritual beast usually feeds on? I should be laughing if your poison can knock it down."

As long as Shuimu could find a living thing, there was nothing that the giant bear had not eaten. There were a lot of foods containing various medicines every now and then. They were not powerful poisons, but it was good enough to make it upset.

"You were the one who was fighting the Akatsuki organization there just now, right? And you solved it so quickly?"

"You should take care of yourself!"

Mizuki looked at Sasuke beside him and felt relieved to see that he didn't seem to be injured.

Mizuki's real body, wearing a long robe, appeared in front of Yakushi Kabuto.

"Want to fight me now?"

"How come?"

Yakushi Kabuto said cautiously.

"Now that Mizuki Jonin has arrived, I should think of a way to escape. However, I think it would be best if you ask Lord Orochimaru for his advice."

Although what he said was particularly unpromising, there was nothing he could do about his lack of strength.

Mizuki's original body ignored Yakushi Kabuto who was showing weakness, and turned to look at the Sixteen Pillars Binding Technique not far away. He sensed that the seal of the clone inside had been activated and the battle was in progress.

A moment later, a giant snake with purple stripes broke through the blockade of the Sixteen Pillars Binding Technique, and the Ten Thousand Snakes led Orochimaru to break through the restraints of the water and wood barrier.

The Shuimu clone, who was dodging under the thick tail of the Ten Thousand Snakes, suddenly disappeared and appeared next to the Mu body.

"Finally."

He winked at Shuimu, indicating that the deal was done.

"If it's any later, I won't be able to hold on any longer."

A transaction is a transaction, and no matter how much mutual admiration there is, it cannot change the fact that Orochimaru and Mizuki are in a hostile relationship.

Fortunately, Orochimaru didn't seem to want to compete with a clone, so they tested each other's strength tacitly. But when Mizuki's real body came over, Orochimaru didn't want to delay any longer.

Kabuto Yakushi used a teleportation technique and appeared above the heads of all the snakes and stood next to Orochimaru.

"The other party smells very bloody, and it's not all enemy blood."

Orochimaru stared at Mizuki's body with his golden vertical pupils for a while.

"The robe covered the injuries on his body. The most serious one was on his right arm. It looked like the injury was serious..."
