In a clearing deep in the Forest of Death, a tense standoff unfolds.

.......

"Come on! Boy, show me your true power! ”

Orochimaru's eyes that were originally looking at the three of them suddenly froze, and a murderous aura that was stronger than just now locked onto the three of them.

Under Orochimaru's gaze, Nightshade and Fuyutsuki Kaede felt that the chakra in their bodies was uncontrollably chaotic. After that, the two were even more shocked to find that they couldn't control their body movements.

In their eyes, the figure of the great snake was reflected approaching, and the next moment, the two of them even saw the scene of their own death.

The two of them knew that they had fallen for the illusion on the other side, and it was not a clever illusion, but the two of them just couldn't break free from the illusion, which was caused by the absolute strength suppression of the opposite side.

........

Uchiha Gen's palm lightly rested on the shoulders of the two companions, and with the input of Uchiha Gen Chakra, the chakra in the two of them was disrupted, unraveling the illusion set by Orochimaru.

"You two help me to control the wind, I'm going to use the writing wheel!"

After helping the two of them unravel the illusion, Uchiha Gen whispered. He had a hunch that the man with the long tongue on the other side was coming for him.

"Hmm!"

The two of them nodded in response, just now this illusion made them understand that their strength was too bad, and forcibly facing that Kusakure guy would only cause trouble for Uchiha Gen.

Then the two jumped away and scattered to the sides, alerting the approach of the other participating groups, and the fact that Uchiha Gen was a member of the Uchiha clan must not be exposed. And Orochimaru didn't stop the two of them from planning to do it, and he didn't want this battle to be known to too many people.

"Not bad!"

Orochimaru removed the kunai from his tongue and licked his lower lip again, which made him even more excited.

"Come on! Let me see your power! ”

Orochimaru, who was excited, threw the kunai in his hand, and then rushed towards the Uchiha Gen.

"As you wish!"

Uchiha Gen pulled out the sword on the ground and rushed forward as well. In the process of rushing forward, the black pupils turned red in vain, and the three black magatama continued to rotate in the blood-colored pupils.

In the face of an enemy of this level, he can no longer hide his strength, and only by squeezing out his last trace of strength can he possibly defeat him.

"Bell ------"

The Uchiha first dodged the kunai thrown by Orochimaru sideways, then the tip of the sword stabbed into the ring at the end of the kunai with precision, and then used his strength to throw the kunai back at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's body twisted like a snake to avoid kunai, and then pulled out a shuriken from the ninja bag again

The sword in the hand of the Uchiha Gen was shelved.

Then the sound of the handover between Kunai and Taidao continued to sound. Between the two, you come and go, and the fight is very hot.

Then Orochimaru seemed to have figured out the upper limit of the Uchiha Xuanshu and the sword technique, opened his mouth, and spewed out dozens of small snakes from his mouth and rushed towards the Uchiha Gen who was slashed by the horizontal sword.

Facing the group of snakes, Uchiha Gen had to jump backwards to avoid it, and Orochimaru also took this opportunity to distance himself.

"Wind escape, big breakthrough."

As soon as he opened the distance, Orochimaru charged up a ninjutsu, and a large amount of compressed air attacked Uchiha Gen in a clump.

"Fire escape, the art of dragon fire."

Uchiha Gen didn't dare to slack off, his hands quickly sealed, and a flame erupted from his mouth in the shape of a dragon, meeting Orochimaru's big breakthrough.

"Boom ------"

Wind and fire collided, and a huge explosion exploded in the open space between the two. The huge smoke and dust dispersed, temporarily blocking the view of the two. The next moment, as if sensing something, the Uchiha pulled out the knife that was inserted into the ground with his right hand, and stabbed his head backwards without looking back.

The sword stabbed into the attacker's chest accurately, but the Uchiha Gen did not show the slightest relaxation, but looked more solemn. Then he quickly threw a shuriken with a shuriken tied to it.

Under the operation of Uchiha Gen, the shuriken with a thin steel wire was accurately wound around a thick branch, and then, with the help of the thin steel wire, the Uchiha Xuan pulled his body apart.

The body of the attacker he had stabbed earlier had softened into a cloud of black mud, and then the black mud exploded violently. If the Uchiha Gen had left a little later, his body might have been stained with these extremely sticky black mud.

When Gen Uchiha landed on a branch and was about to look for Kusakure's long-tongued man, Orochimaru's body wrapped around like a snake and slashed out from the back of the trunk.

With the help of the Three Hooks Writing Wheel Eye, the Uchiha Gen accurately avoided Orochimaru's attack and took advantage of the situation to leap away, while a triumphant smile appeared on his lips.

Before Orochimaru could launch his next attack, the branch under Orochimaru's feet suddenly exploded, which were several detonation charms that Uchiha Gengen had planted when he threw the shuriken before.

The Uchiha Gen, who jumped backwards, obviously didn't intend to let the snake go, but once again pulled out several shurikens with thin steel wires from the ninja bag and threw them at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru was caught off guard, and his body was trapped firmly on the trunk behind him by a thin steel wire.

"Fire Escape, the Art of Dragon Fire"

The Uchiha Gen, who was biting a thin steel wire in his mouth, flipped his hands up and down, and wanted to give Orochimaru a blow. The scorching flames rushed down the thin steel wire towards Orochimaru, and Orochimaru's body was instantly surrounded by flames.

"Yay!"

Looking at Uchiha Gen

successfully defeated the long-tongued man with the 'Writing Wheel Eye Windmill Sanno Tai Knife', and Dong Yuefeng couldn't help but cheer softly.

However, the Uchiha Gen's complexion was even more ugly, because the flames did not make the man on the other side scream. He vaguely felt that he had not forced out the full strength of the man in front of him, and he seemed to be testing his strength. The feeling of being toyed with made him angry, and at the same time he was even more curious about who was targeting him.

......

"That'..... What is that? ”

When the flames dissipated, Nightshade's eyes widened, because the skin on the face of the long-tongued man on the opposite side had actually fallen off, and under the peeled skin was another pale human face.

"Huh! It was unexpectedly able to use the Sharingan at such a young age! It's true that you're a descendant of the Uchiha clan, and I want you even more. ”

Orochimaru removed the character mask whose face had been burned, and looked at the Uchiha Gen with a gaze full of approval. This power is really worth looking forward to!

"You guy!"

At this time, Uchiha Genya was also sure that the guy opposite was really coming for his Uchiha identity. This guy! Is it also coveting the power of the Sharingan?

"This guy, is.... Be...... It's Orochimaru! ”

Saying that, an exclamation came, and Dong Yuefeng had already recognized the identity of the man in front of him. Now, she finally understands why Ryuyu asked them to be careful of the long-tongued man of Kusakure, feeling that this guy is one of the famous three ninja in Konoha Orochimaru!

Thinking of this, Dong Yuefeng's heart was also moved, what did Orochimaru want to do when he sneaked into Konoha as a traitorous ninja to take the exam? Moreover, Mr. Ryuha seems to have known for a long time that this Orochimaru would sneak into this exam.

"Big ..... Orochimaru! ”

Uchiha Xuan's pupils shrank suddenly, thinking that he was also shocked by Orochimaru's identity, but then he was relieved, if it was Orochimaru on the other side, it would not be difficult to understand what his overwhelming strength was.

"Hehe----"

"In that case, there is no need to fight this battle!"

After knowing the identity of the other party, Uchiha Gen was not so scared, and laughed lightly. Facing the strong, the right amount of pressure can motivate you to become stronger, but facing too strong an enemy too early will only hinder your confidence. With this level of enemy, you don't need to face yourself now, and forcibly facing yourself will only form an obstacle to your own growth.

Then, Uchiha Gen took out a scroll from his ninja bag, not the Celestial Scroll he got before the exam, but the scroll that Ryuha gave him before the exam began, a scroll that could save his life at a critical moment.
