Fight

When Kazuya arrived, the battle between the Third Hokage and Orochimaru was still raging. The tension between the mentor and apprentice was palpable, with the Third Hokage visibly at a disadvantage. They stood ten meters apart, locked in a silent standoff.

Beneath his mask, Kazuya smiled gently. Good! They haven't fought yet, which means I haven't missed any opportunities! This wave is not bad!

"Orochimaru, you must pay for your sins today!" The Third Hokage's voice thundered with fury. Despite his loud proclamation, he remained stationary, clearly reluctant to strike. Orochimaru, for his part, responded with sneering provocations. The scene resembled a match-fixing setup, neither side making a decisive move. 

The truth was, the Third Hokage couldn't bring himself to harm his favored disciple. Conversely, Orochimaru knew he couldn't defeat his old master without a struggle. 

"This can't go on..." Kazuya sighed. If this standoff continues, what will happen to my golden light?

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Kazuya acted decisively, launching three shurikens. Ding ding ding! Orochimaru easily deflected them with his kunai.

"Is it finally about to start... my teacher!" A strange light flashed in Orochimaru's snake-like pupils. Boom! In an instant, Orochimaru's chakra erupted, creating an astonishing wave of air.

It's finally time to fight! Kazuya's excitement grew as he felt the energy in the room surge. Under his mask, a smile crept onto his face. Time to draw out the battle!

"Summoning Jutsu! Ape King, Enma!" The Third Hokage quickly formed a seal and clapped his hands on the ground. Boom! White smoke exploded, and a burly, armored ape appeared.

"Sarutobi, what difficult opponent have you encountered this time?" Enma asked in a deep voice, recalling the last time he was summoned to face the Nine Tails.

"Is it Orochimaru?" Enma asked, surprised.

"Yes, this time it's Orochimaru. He has fallen into darkness and is beyond redemption!" The Third Hokage replied with a grim expression.

Enma fell silent. If the opponent is Orochimaru, do you really need me?

Without hesitation, the Third Hokage and Enma charged forward. "Orochimaru!!!"

"Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!" Orochimaru's right hand transformed into countless snakes, which lunged toward the Third Hokage.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The Third Hokage countered, his chakra exploding as he engaged Orochimaru in hand-to-hand combat.

Kazuya: "?????" Hidden Shadow Snake Hands... Is this a skill that normal humans can use? Orochimaru can use this trick without breaking a sweat! Never mind! Just pretend you didn't see it!

Neko next to him hesitated briefly, then rushed into the battle with kunai in hand. Boom! Boom! Boom! The four figures collided repeatedly, each clash more intense than the last. Orochimaru, besieged, was in extreme danger, constantly on the defensive. Even Enma, the ape demon, joined the fray.

Kazuya was not satisfied. His physical talent had already been exhausted. This sparring won't cut it. If this is a fake match, then I'll have to add more fire!

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!" A massive fireball shot toward Orochimaru, raising the temperature in the room.

"Move!" the Third Hokage shouted, dodging the attack.

Whoosh! The combatants quickly distanced themselves from the explosion.

Boom! The room collapsed under the force of the blast.

"Ah!" Orochimaru sneered, "Teacher, it seems you have a new ninja under your command!" His cold eyes fell on Kazuya, recognizing his strength.

The collapse did little to harm the combatants, all of whom were elite ninjas. The weakest among them, Neko, was still an Elite Jōnin.

"You are old!" Orochimaru snorted, producing a scroll. Boom! A massive black shuriken appeared. "Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!" he intoned, launching the shuriken, which multiplied in mid-air, heading straight for his opponents.

"Orochimaru! Do you plan to use my own techniques against me?" The Third Hokage roared, countering with his own Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique.

Buzz buzz! Buzz buzz! The air filled with spinning shurikens, creating a nerve-wracking sight.

"That's the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique! An A-rank ninjutsu developed by Lord Hokage. It creates a dense formation of shurikens for a powerful attack," Tenzo exclaimed.

Under his mask, Kazuya glanced at Tenzo. Sure enough, the narration has started! It seems that this vice-captain of Anbu has had this preference since he was young!

Boom! Boom! Boom! The shurikens collided in the air, shattering into fragments that flew toward the fighters.

"Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!" "Water Style: Water Barrier!" Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Tenzo quickly formed their own defenses, raising walls of earth and water to intercept the fragments.

Golden lights flew toward Kazuya, who smiled under his mask. Finally, the fight has begun in earnest! Orochimaru, Third Hokage, keep fighting! Give it your all!
