#55 - Chapter 55: Ninjutsu that Candidates Cannot See Through

While Sasuke and Orochimaru were fighting, several ninja squads with different agendas quietly gathered around.

"Where did this Grass Village ninja come from? He's actually pushing Sasuke this hard?" Ino stared at Orochimaru's figure, grinding her teeth in frustration.

"No matter where he's from, we shouldn't get involved. That guy is definitely beyond our capabilities," Shikamaru warned, watching Ino's restless movements.

Shikamaru's original plan was to head towards the central tower while looking for an opportunity to snatch a scroll.

But Ino was worried about Sasuke and insisted on finding him, so he had no choice but to temporarily abandon his original plan.

"Seriously, it's all Naruto's fault for exposing his scroll and dragging Sasuke into this!" Ino glanced at Naruto, who was watching the battle with Sakura, and frowned.

"I think we don't need to worry about them!"

Shikamaru analyzed, "In the battle just now, Naruto only made two moves, and each time he easily defeated those terrifying snakes and that Grass Village ninja. From this, we can see that Naruto is definitely capable of defeating that Grass Village ninja."

"His exposing the scroll wasn't arrogance or stupidity, but genuine confidence!"

Although he didn't understand why Naruto was so strong, it was indeed the truth!

Ino pouted. She had watched the entire battle, but she was still upset that Sasuke was injured!

On the other side, Hinata's team, also worried about Naruto, had been observing nearby for a long time.

"This Grass Village ninja is too strong! Even Sasuke isn't his match. And Naruto, is he really Naruto? What was that golden light ninjutsu?"

Kiba Inuzuka, lying in the bushes, chattered non-stop, "Hinata, I think we should just leave later. This Grass Village ninja is beyond our capabilities, and Naruto doesn't seem to need our help!"

"I... I want to watch a little longer..."

Seeing Hinata's stubborn look, Kiba felt helpless.

What's so good about Naruto?

He could already tell that Hinata liked Naruto, or rather... it was hard for anyone not to notice Hinata's feelings.

"Neji, should we intervene?" Tenten asked.

Neji's team had received the Heaven Scroll, while Naruto's team now had two Earth Scrolls!

If they included the scroll from this Grass Village ninja, that would be three Earth Scrolls!

"Wait, someone's coming!" Neji raised his hand, signaling everyone to hide.

The next moment, three people appeared not far from Neji and his team.

"Neji, what do we do?" Rock Lee asked, looking at the three strange ninjas staring at Naruto and his team.

Neji thought for a moment and said, "Attack, eliminate them!"

Compared to snatching Naruto's scrolls, snatching these three's should be easier.

He could only hope that these three had Earth Scrolls!

While many people were rushing over because of Naruto's team, Gaara's team was quickly heading towards the central tower.

"Gaara, shouldn't we go take a look over there? It looks interesting," Temari asked curiously.

"No, the mission is important."

Gaara said expressionlessly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to resist killing them all if I go over there. If they all die, there won't be a third round of the Chunin Exams."

Kankuro and Temari didn't expect Gaara to have such awareness.

But what he said did make sense. If Gaara really killed them all, the subsequent plans couldn't be carried out.

"Then let's pass quickly. I'm really curious to see the expressions of those Leaf Village ninjas when they see us pass so quickly~"

......

Whoosh!

During the battle between Sasuke and Orochimaru, Naruto once again saved Sasuke with his laser beam.

Then, Sasuke silently launched another attack on Orochimaru.

Sakura looked at Sasuke with worry, and Naruto noticed that Sasuke seemed to be getting into the zone.

His eyes were no longer as angry as before, and reason seemed to have regained control of his brain.

Sasuke jumped and dodged Orochimaru's pursuit among the trees, then found an opportunity to use wires to tie Orochimaru to a tree.

Sharingan Manipulation Windmill Triple Great Sword!

After controlling Orochimaru, Sasuke bit the wire with his mouth and made hand seals with both hands.

"Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique!"

Sasuke spat out flames from his mouth, which traveled along the wire all the way to Orochimaru's body, causing an explosion.

"Ah!!!"

Listening to Orochimaru's screams, Sasuke felt a little better.

Solved!

He looked at Naruto provocatively, as if asking: Didn't you say I couldn't solve it?

He thought he would see shock and surprise on Naruto's face, but he didn't.

Naruto's face was still expressionless, and his eyes were looking at the place where he had just killed Orochimaru.

Could it be?

Sasuke turned his head and looked at the place where he had killed Orochimaru, only to find that there was no corpse, only a puddle of mud!

"Damn it, when again?"

Sasuke was annoyed and regretted his carelessness.

Suddenly, he heard movement behind him!

He subconsciously jumped away to dodge Orochimaru's sneak attack, but Orochimaru didn't stop there and continued to pursue!

The speed was so fast that he couldn't dodge and could only use kunai to block.

After a fight,

Sasuke seized the opportunity and slammed Orochimaru to the ground from the sky!

Bang!

Orochimaru landed headfirst, hitting the ground heavily with a loud noise!

Judging by the sound, it was a good head!

Sasuke gasped for breath, hoping to see Orochimaru's dead appearance.

But Orochimaru's body once again turned into a puddle of mud!

"What a buggy ninjutsu," Naruto muttered to himself.

He had watched the entire battle between Sasuke and Orochimaru, but he couldn't see when Orochimaru used the Body Replacement Technique or a clone...

However, even Sasuke's Sharingan couldn't see through Orochimaru's technique, so it wasn't surprising that Naruto's ordinary eyes couldn't see through it either.

Moreover, in Naruto's opinion, whether or not one's eyes can see through other people's ninjutsu is not particularly important, after all, the vast majority of people in this world do not have Sharingan.

For them, the easiest way to deal with some ninjutsu that they can't see through is to use their own strengths.

Talented ninjas rely on bloodline limits, and taijutsu ninjas rely on speed and strength... but whether or not they can win ultimately depends on absolute strength, a certain amount of combat intelligence, and combat experience.

The same is true for Naruto.

No matter how good Orochimaru is at using the Body Replacement Technique and clones, they are just escape ninjutsu. As long as he uses the advantages of the Glint-Glint Fruit, Orochimaru won't have the slightest chance of winning!
