47 Chapter 47 Beaten

Village Hidden in the Grass.

Tenchi Bridge.

"KeKeKe~ as expected you saw through it, I'm getting more and more curious about you"

Along with a gloomy laugh, a figure walked out of the woods striding calmly towards the bridge, his long tongue hanging out, an interesting look in his snake like eyes.

"Orochimaru!!"

Naruto who was ready to fight Sai on the orders of Azuma, yelled seeing Orochimaru, extreme anger in his tone.

Orange chakra began to appear around him, his nails extending and getting sharper, his eyes turning red with vertical pupils.

Tap…

"Calm down Naruto!"

Seeing the chakra around him, Sakura suppressed the surprise of seeing Orochimaru and patted Naruto on the back, wanting to make him calm.

If Naruto goes berserk, things would get out of hands, she believed in the strength of Azuma, but adding a berserk Naruto could make things difficult for Azuma.

Ha…

"Bastard! Where is Sasuke?!!"

Some clarity appeared in the eyes of Naruto from the words of Sakura, as he asked Orochimaru about Sasuke, the reason behind the mission.

"You're noisy as ever, Naruto-Kun"

Orochimaru didn't care for the anger of Naruto and replied casually a gloomy smile plastered on his pale face, his longue tongue still hanging out.

Poof!

"You have made the biggest mistake in your life appearing before me, Orochimaru!"

With a burst of smoke, Azuma undid the transformation Jutsu, returning to original form, as focusing on Orochimaru, he spoke lightly, a chilling look in his yellow eyes.

The time for Orochimaru to pay for what he did two years ago had arrived, the most foolish decision in Orochimaru's life was to appear before him.

"KeKeKe~ Such confidence, it seems the world has started to take me lightly"

Hearing his words, Orochimaru couldn't help but feel a little irritation in his heart, was he so weak that anyone could talk down on him.

He has heard about the deeds of Azuma and from his old friend, he even learned the details, showing Azuma had the strength to fight Kage Rank Shinobi, but he is also the legendary Sannin.

And Azuma having the strength to defeat Akatsuki members shows that he may be slightly stronger than Sasuke, despite being of the same age.

Sasuke was an Uchiha, his growth he could understand, but Azuma two years ago, was weak as a chicken but suddenly he became so strong.

He wondered whether Azuma had awakened an unknown Kekkai Genkai, increasing his strength, worthy of his research.

"I leave him to you, don't let him run!"

Azuma ignored the words of Orochimaru and turned towards Sakura and Naruto who were vigilantly looking at Orochimaru while Sai was quietly watching from the side.

"Be careful!"

Naruto clenched his fists and said loudly, an extreme helpless feeling welling in his heart as he knew this much, he still wasn't strong enough to fight Orochimaru who was as strong as Jiraiya head on.

If he insisted, he might go berserk fighting Orochimaru, so for the first time using his brain, he left Orochimaru to Azuma, knowing the latter had chances of defeating him.

"Leave Sai to us, Azuma-Kun!!"

Sakura and Naruto whizzed towards Sai, who hurriedly painted a tiger on the scroll it coming alive the next moment, a fight starting between the three.

Azuma on the other hand focused on Orochimaru, who contacted his pupils slightly, his body tense, knowing Azuma might attack any moment.

"Zzzzzz!!"

The next moment, purple lightning surrounded Azuma, cracking sound resounding everywhere, making Azuma look like a god of thunder.

"Purple Lightning, just like the details"

Orochimaru murmured looking at Azuma with purple lightning hovering around him, confirming his old friend hadn't betrayed him.

"Speed won't work against me"

Thought Orochimaru, as no matter how fast Azuma was, he was already prepared, and was sure he could dodge.

Swish!

"Useles____"

The next moment, with a crackling sound, Azuma leaving a purple trail whizzed towards Orochimaru, who despite not being able to see Azuma, still spoke in a confident tone, ready to substitute, but suddenly his words halted, when from the purple lightning, a red aura suddenly exploded out, the mind of Orochimaru going blank.

Orochimaru felt the world around him darkening but biting his tongue he managed to stay conscious, but at this moment, a palm was already right before his wide eyes, completing covering his face the next moment.

Boom!!

With his face held in the palm of Azuma, Orochimaru was smashed on the ground, his back head hitting the earth forcefully, cracks spreading all around.

"Zzzzz!!"

"Ahhh!!"

But Azuma didn't seem to have any intention of letting go of Orochimaru, as purple lightning from his palm coursed into the body of Orochimaru, who screamed in pain, white foam coming out of his mouth, his eyes turning white.

"So strong…."

Orochimaru who was feeling the current running throughout his body was completely paralyzed, as he couldn't even move a finger, but inside his groggy head, two words repeated again and again, "so strong".

He didn't even get the chance to display his power, that red aura suddenly blanked his mind and after that he never got a chance to counterattack.

"The real pain you still have to experience it"

"Swoosh!"

Looking at Orochimaru, who was not far from fainting, Azuma said lightly and threw him upward in the air, the former completely paralyzed in the air, mind groggy.

"Clink…"

The next moment, Orochimaru who was thrown in the air, due to force of gravity began to fall down, Azuma down pulled out the blade on his back, pointing it towards the falling Orochimaru.
