8 Chapter 8: I actually lost to a Shadow Clone!

"Good...so strong..."

"Are these two people both monsters?!?!"

"I didn't even see their movements just now...!"

At this moment, the crowd outside the field was completely confused.

The fight between Orochimaru and Chiba Seishi just now was over in an instant.

They completely couldn't see what the situation in the field was like.

"Are you kidding me... why do I feel like Chiba Seishi has the upper hand...? Isn't Orochimaru supposed to be no match for him?!"

Someone said in suspicion.

"Look, from start to finish, Chiba Seishi hasn't moved a single step..."

Someone pointed at Chiba Seishi's feet.

It was only then that everyone in the field realized that compared to the disheveled Orochimaru, Chiba Seishi had not moved from his position at all.

"How is his speed so fast!!!"

Orochimaru stared at Chiba Seishi in shock from afar.

Apart from ninjutsu, Orochimaru believed that his physical techniques had not fallen behind in his training.

So even without ninjutsu, he was an invincible presence in the class at this moment.

Even the teacher who was teaching them now, he didn't think was stronger than him.

But just now, he completely couldn't see how Chiba Seishi had kicked him in an instant.

In his eyes, he could still see the movements of Chiba Seishi's side kick at the beginning.

Then suddenly, when he looked again, it was almost about to hit him.

The reason why he was able to dodge that blow just now was not because he really saw it clearly.

It was because he relied on his instinct to forcibly dodge it.

"Tiger-Rat-Monkey-Rabbit..."

"Water Style: Waterfall Jutsu!!!"

"It only took two seconds, and Orochimaru completed the hand seals for this A-rank Water Release ninjutsu.

"?????"

"Another A-rank jutsu... Orochimaru, this guy actually...!!"

The onlookers were beginning to doubt their own lives. They were wondering if the two people in the field had already reached the level of Jonin.

At this moment, Orochimaru changed his usual style. Normally he was very low-key, not showing off his abilities unless necessary. This was because he believed that no one in the school was qualified to be his opponent.

But today, he was provoked by Konoha's Chiba Seishi, and his long-lost desire to win was ignited.

Chiba Seishi! If you can do an A-rank jutsu, so can I!

Looking at the scene before him, with water flooding the area, Chiba Seishi touched his head and said, "I just changed into this outfit today, I can't let you get it wet, otherwise it'll be a hassle..."

"Fire Style! Great Fireball Jutsu!"

Looking at the ninjutsu used by Chiba Seishi, Orochimaru sneered, "Chiba Seishi, you're underestimating me!"

"Just relying on a mere C-rank jutsu and you think you can stop me!"

When Chiba Seishi heard his words, a hint of helplessness appeared on his face. His Shadow Clone technique was only enough to use this one jutsu. With his current amount of chakra, he estimated that he would have to revert to his original form before he could use B or A-rank jutsu.

Chiba Seishi against Orochimaru!

Fire against water!

Looking at the scene of water flowing everywhere and small fireballs, everyone thought that Chiba Seishi had already lost.

However, the scene of water extinguishing fire did not appear as expected. Visible water vapor appeared in the air.

The water flow became weaker and weaker, but the fireball that Chiba Seishi used was still as dazzling as ever. His fire did not extinguish even a little.

Looking at the flames before him, Orochimaru knelt on the ground, lifted his head with all his strength and said, "How could this be... I actually lost...!"

"To lose an A-rank jutsu to a C-rank jutsu..."

Although Chiba Seishi did not attack him, he knew that Chiba Seishi had shown him mercy.

Looking at Chiba Seishi, who remained calm and even the corners of his clothes were not disturbed, Orochimaru felt ashamed.

After using this A-rank ninjutsu, there was basically no excess chakra left in his body, and he was even exhausted.

"Who said that C-rank ninjutsu is weaker than A-rank ninjutsu..."Tsunade said softly.

He stared at Orochimaru, who had already lost his strength, and shook his head.

"You are too obsessed with the classification of ninjutsu levels. There is no strongest ninjutsu, only the strongest person..."

"Even the most ordinary clone jutsu, if used properly, can shine..."

"Your chakra amount is not very high, and using A-rank ninjutsu is really too much for you..."

After a pause, he added.

"Moreover... your use of the Great Waterfall Technique is not very proficient."

After listening to Tsunade's words, Orochimaru suddenly realized.

At this moment, he sincerely said to Tsunade, "Thank you for teaching me!"

A wise teacher teaches through practice.

Tsunade's strength is indeed stronger than him, and he admits defeat.

Touching his nose, a strange feeling rose in Tsunade's heart.

Am I teaching ninjutsu knowledge to Orochimaru?

Unexpectedly, he can also popularize science for future ninjutsu scientists.

"Oh no, I exerted too much force just now and didn't pay much attention... but it's good this way, at least I don't have to walk back..."

Tsunade muttered a sentence that no one could understand.

In an instant, his figure turned into a white smoke and disappeared from the original place.

"Shadow clone?!"

"The one who defeated me was just Seishi's shadow clone?!"

Orochimaru was not feeling good at all.
