Chapter 27: A Sudden Kick

"You can use the Sharingan so proficiently at such a young age."

"Indeed, they must be from the Uchiha clan."

"To think that I have to use some of my abilities to deal with you."

Orochimaru's gaze was chilling as he looked at Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura.

Due to Ryujiro's influence, the current strength of Naruto and Sasuke had increased at least twofold compared to the original.

Even Orochimaru had to use some of his true abilities.

"A Rasengan?"

"Has Jiraiya already returned to Konoha?"

Orochimaru glanced at Naruto, who was now covered in wounds, murmuring to himself.

"Although I still wish to obtain Ryujiro, the Uchiha clan's power is not to be underestimated."

Sasuke's expression suddenly darkened.

His implication was that the Uchiha clan's sharingan power was inferior to Ryujiro's!

Damn it! Damn it!

Sasuke felt a surge of anger. What he lacked now was strength. Wherever he went, he could hear people talking about Ryujiro's strength.

Ryujiro!

Ryujiro was just a common civilian!

Why! Why did his power surpass that of a ninja with Uchiha blood like him!

With just that level of power, how could he possibly defeat that man!

The vengeance for his parents, when would he be able to seek it!

When would he have the power to kill Itachi?

Too weak! He was too weak.

Suddenly, Orochimaru looked at Sasuke with interest, a twisted smile appearing on his face. 

"Nice eyes. It seems you have potential worth developing. Perhaps you're suitable as a replacement for Ryujiro."

Sasuke's young heart suffered another heavy blow.

"I'm not that guy's replacement!"

"I'm a ninja of the Uchiha clan!"

Sasuke roared like a madman.

"Sasuke, let's defeat this guy together!"

Naruto's resilience once again compelled him to stand up.

But Sasuke, driven by anger, had lost his mind. "Naruto, shut up! You're just a weakling. Without Ryujiro, you're nothing!"

"I can handle this guy on my own!"

"Sasuke-kun..."

Sakura looked at the unfamiliar and indifferent Sasuke in disbelief.

The Sasuke infront of her scared her.

"The Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails is quite troublesome."

Orochimaru's figure disappeared suddenly, leaving behind an afterimage. In an instant, the cold Orochimaru appeared before Naruto and delivered a heavy punch to his stomach.

"Bahhh!"

Naruto, after spitting out a mouthful of water, directly fell unconscious.

Sasuke broke out in a cold sweat. His sharingan hadn't kept up with Orochimaru's movements!

Just as Sasuke was about to throw a kunai, his body suddenly froze. The kunai fall onto a tree trunk.

"Paralysis Jutsu!"

Sasuke's body was inexplicably restrained. No matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free.

"The power of the Uchiha clan."

"Although you're Itachi's brother, your powers can't even compare to his."

"The gap between you and Itachi is like an abyss."

Sasuke's heart felt like it was being scraped layer by layer with a knife.

"Who are you!"

"Why do you know about Itachi? Have you seen him?"

Orochimaru smirked.

"Who knows."

Suddenly, Orochimaru's neck stretched like rubber, and before Sasuke could understand what was happening, he was hit with a cursed seal.

"Sasuke-kun!"

Seeing this scene, Sakura's face turned even paler.

"Ahh!"

Burning! Stinging!

Sasuke hoarsely roared in agony.

"Sasuke, if you want power, come find me."

"Right now, you're too weak."

Weak.

Being called weak by someone and the intense pain made Sasuke tremble all over.

After the Paralysis Jutsu was released, Sasuke collapsed weakly to the ground.

Orochimaru, with a cold gaze, looked at Sasuke, who still had a cold smile on his face, gradually disappearing.

However, in that instant.

A reddish black slash came rushing like a comet.

Orochimaru's eyes shrank to pinpoints, and he had no choice but to temporarily flee.

With a loud bang, the slash split a huge tree trunk instantly.

Orochimaru looked coldly at Ryujiro.

"Ryujiro, I didn't expect us to meet so soon."

"Who's that person?"

Hinata and Neji felt the cold chakra emanating from Orochimaru, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

Very dangerous!

That cold demeanor and chakra were like that of a venomous snake.

"Hinata, Neji, you guys go to the central tower first. I'll be there shortly."

Ryujiro looked at Orochimaru indifferently.

"Ryujiro." Hinata approached with some worry.

Ryujiro gently patted Hinata's head and said, "Don't worry, I'll arrive safely."

After hesitating for a moment, Hinata chose to trust Ryujiro.

"Ryujiro, please stay safe."

"Okay."

Ryujiro looked at Orochimaru and glanced at the already unconscious Sasuke deliberately. "It seems you've already placed the Cursed Seal of Heaven on Sasuke."

Orochimaru's expression changed drastically as he carefully assessed Ryujiro.

To know even about the Cursed Seal was surprising.

"Ryujiro-kun, I'm afraid you don't understand that the more you know, the faster you will die."

With that, Orochimaru's body erupted with fierce killing intent. At this moment, Sakura, not far away, was completely frightened by the killing intent emanating from Orochimaru.

This was a battlefield.

At this moment, Sakura was completely a burden. The gap between her and these two was too great.

Ryujiro and Orochimaru stood on opposite sides, disdainfully smiling. "So, are you trying to kill me?"

If possible, Orochimaru did want to kill Ryujiro. However, Orochimaru knew that Ryujiro's strength might be even more terrifying than he had imagined.

Moreover, this was Konoha Village. If too much commotion was caused, his actions would be discovered by the village's ninjas, and his subsequent plans would be difficult to carry out.

Watching Ryujiro's calm demeanor in the face of such a terrifying figure, Sakura's heart was in turmoil.

Facing such a terrifying person without any hint of emotion, it was no wonder he was hailed as the most genius student in the history of the Ninja Academy.

"Heh heh, Ryujiro, you're joking, right? With your current strength, I feel you might rival a Kage..."

"I don't want to get into trouble by getting stuck here with you..."

"Ryujiro, let's meet again next time."

Just as Orochimaru was preparing to use ninjutsu to leave, Ryujiro suddenly disappeared from his sight.

With a rumble sound, tree trunks were pierced, creating large holes. Ryujiro directly kicked Orochimaru, catching him off guard.

And that strength...

It was undoubtedly Ryujiro's full strength, amplified by the Sixth Gate.

Orochimaru hadn't even reacted yet.
