Chapter 607 : The Sword of Kusanagi!

BOOM!!!!!!

A massive explosion took place inside the Forest of Death! The sound of the explosion was so loud that it was heard nearly throughout the training ground. Several Genins looked towards it and wondered what was happening.

The most shocked one was none other than Sakura who had been laying traps. She looked in the direction of the sound and wondered, 'What is happening over there?'

Anko, who was rushing towards that spot, suddenly stopped. She looked towards that place and thought, 'Shit! I hope I'm not too late!'

In the tower, Hoka asked with surprise in his voice, "What a powerful explosion! What is happening over there, Fujin?"

Both Renjiro and Hoka glanced at Fujin with worry in their eyes. To their surprise, they saw that his lips had formed a small smile. Fujin's clone said softly, "I just baited Orochimaru. That was an explosion with 20% of my chakra. Hehe, it seems like I might be able to kill him even before Hokage arrives."

Renjiro immediately warned, "Don't get too overconfident. Even if you manage to land a critical hit, Orochimaru is very good at healing himself."

Fujin's clone nodded and replied, "I know. Don't worry, my main focus will be my safety. We are anyway on home ground. It's Orochimaru who is restrained by time."

Some distance away from where the explosion took place, a figure could be seen standing on a branch while resting against a wide trunk. It was the same figure who had been keeping an eye on Orochimaru's fight against Kakashi's students. Fujin hadn't moved from that spot and had instead sent a clone to do the entire battle!

As he received the memories of his clone, a smile appeared on his face. He immediately flickered towards the location of the explosion while thinking, 'Not a bad ambush. As expected as someone of Orochimaru's calibre.

When he discovered that his Snake jutsus wouldn't stand a chance against my Wind jutsus, he changed his tactics very quickly. The massive water jutsu was to increase my confidence against him while the needle attack was to raise my guard.

He used the distraction caused by the thousands of water needles to create a clone who followed it up with a Fire and Yang combination jutsu that overwhelmed my Wind jutsu, making me feel like I was not his match and forcing me to retreat and reevaluate the fight.

As I retreated, he controlled the flames to make me retreat in the direction where his main body was hiding to ambush me.

However, there was one point he overlooked. Even though his plan was very good and he hid his chakra very well, he couldn't hide from my Space Time Sensing Technique. On understanding his plan, my clone went to the exact spot where he was hiding, giving Orochimaru an opening that he couldn't resist. Hehe…'

The smoke and debris slowly cleared from where Fujin's clone had exploded. Fujin had initially put a third of his chakra into that clone to ensure that Orochimaru wouldn't suspect that he was a clone. The battle until that point had used up 40% of the clone's chakra. What remained was around 20% of Fujin's max chakra. Hence, the explosion was truly intense.

The tree that they were standing on was obliterated. Several nearby trees were destroyed as well. As for the one who was coiling around Fujin's clone, Orochimaru was in terrible shape! His body was lying on the ground.

All the flesh on his neck, face and front part of his body was burnt away by the explosion! Most of his internal organs were wrecked as well. The fact that he hadn't been blown into smithereens showed how resilient Orochimaru's body was as compared to a normal ninja.

Suddenly, his mouth moved. A pair of arms appeared from his mouth and opened his mouth wide enough for a person to climb out! Needless to say, the one who used this disgusting Ninjutsu was none other than Orochimaru.

As he was coming out of his previous body, Orochimaru thought, 'I was fooled! He probably anticipated an ambush and switched with a Shadow Clone while he was escaping from the flames.

Despite that, when I ambushed him, he acted like it was his real body and showed a scared expression to fool me. Even then, I should have detected him preparing the Shadow Clone Explosion jutsu. It's not a jutsu that can be performed while completely hiding the chakra fluctuations.'

Orochimaru's expression became complicated as he continued analyzing, 'The reason why I didn't detect it was his words… He lied that he defeated Jiraiya… That answer caught me off guard. Combined with his previous actions and my confidence, I was distracted just enough to not catch onto the changes in his chakra immediately…

What a devious brat!'

Despite being on guard against such a tactic, Orochimaru had still fallen prey to it! For someone as experienced as Orochimaru, it was humiliating. As he climbed out of the body, all his injuries had disappeared and even his clothes were repaired. Yet, his expression was ugly.

Despite using such a technique, Orochimaru was still breathing roughly. Due to the massive damage that he had taken, the amount of chakra he needed to use this technique was much higher than normal. Even though Fujin had lost a third of his chakra due to his clone, Orochimaru had lost more!

Even so, Orochimaru didn't have any opportunity to rest. As soon as he appeared, the sword of Kusanagi once again appeared in his hand. He swung the blade towards his right while saying, "You shouldn't get so cocky, boy!"

To his right, Fujin had already appeared and was swinging his own sword. His eyes widened as he noticed Orochimaru's sword. Orochimaru's sword of Kusanagi extended and became wider. However, what shocked Fujin was that there were three types of chakra flowing through the blade! Orochimaru was flowing Fire, Wind and Yang chakra through the sword of Kusanagi!

All three mixed with each other flawlessly, shocking Fujin. As he swung his own sword at the sword of Kusanagi, Fujin thought, 'He can use three types of chakra simultaneously and can merge them as well? The feeling I'm getting from this chakra is more intense than Takeshi's Scorch release!

Is it Orochimaru's skill or does that sword assist in doing something like that? Regardless, it's a pity…'

Orochimaru, who was quite angry and intended to go all out, was surprised when he looked into Fujin's eyes! He never expected to see pity in Fujin's eyes! Due to being fooled once, he immediately got on guard while thinking, 'What devious shit is he planning this time?'

Fujin and Orochimaru's swords clashed! From their previous clashes, Orochimaru expected to overwhelm Fujin this time and take the initiative. However, his eyes widened as he exclaimed, "Impossible!"

A cracking sound was heard. To Orochimaru's shock, a crack appeared in the sword of Kusanagi! It soon spread throughout the blade. At the same time, Fujin was surprised as well because a small crack appeared in his blade as well. He thought, 'I didn't expect I'd damage my sword as well. As expected of the Sword of Kusanagi...'

Despite the damage to his sword, Fujin wasn't heartbroken and continued pushing it. As Fujin's sword pushed through the sword of Kusanagi, the sword of Kusanagi crumbled into pieces! As it fell to the ground, it transformed into a white snake and tried moving towards Orochimaru.

Unfortunately, it was already cut into several pieces and it was only its head that was moving. In a fraction of a second, it stopped moving. The sword of Kusanagi, one of Orochimaru's prized possessions was destroyed in the Forest of Death! Orochimaru was stunned beyond belief.

He immediately looked at Fujin's sword carefully and realized, 'A Vacuum Blade? He applied the Wind Vacuum Technique to his sword?'

Orochimaru was shocked to see it. Even though his sword was better and the chakra flowing through it much stronger than the chakra flowing through Fujin's sword, in the end, what mattered was the sharpness of their respective blades. In that aspect, Fujin was much superior!

Even though Orochimaru had extended the Sword of Kusanagi earlier, he hadn't extended it too much as Orochimaru knew that Fujin would dodge it easily. As a result, Orochimaru was within the reach of Fujin's sword.

He quickly retreated while raising his left arm to use Hidden Shadow Snake Hands jutsu. Several snakes appeared from his arm and moved towards Fujin who was very close to him. However, on the very next second, Fujin's sword cut through Orochimaru's arm, slicing it at the elbow!

At the same time, Fujin sneakily pointed all the fingers on his left hand at Orochimaru. Vacuum cores began forming at the tip of his fingers. Orochimaru, who was retreating, immediately noticed it. Unfortunately, the distance between them was too little.

'Wind Release: Vacuum Infinite Gatling jutsu!'

Dozens of Vacuum Bullets were launched from the tip of his fingers at Orochimaru. Due to the short distance between them, Orochimaru couldn't dodge them all. Several of the Vacuum Bullets pierced through Orochimaru's body as he coughed blood and crashed to the ground!
