Chapter 286: Stalling for Time

After fighting with Orochimaru's elephant turner, he was able to have a rough prediction and conjecture about Orochimaru's true strength and means. Because Orochimaru who tried to destroy Konoha Ninja Village would be the first big boss he had to face in the early stage. So that on weekdays, Naruto, in addition to using the characteristics of the shadow clone technique to "brush experience" as usual, will also deliberately divide a part of the number. And while chewing and digesting repeatedly, the experience and information gained from the actual combat between the main body and the Orochimaru elephant turned clone. While trying to simulate certain situations - for example, like an elephant doppelganger who accidentally bumped into Orochimaru's doppelganger, there was an unforeseen event such as an early encounter with Orochimaru's main body and a duel conflict - what are the effective measures that can be taken before exposing many hole cards such as the tailed beast that you can control freely and the skillful application of the Flying Thunder God technique?

Give up the idea of letting the vulnerable shadow clones fight a protracted battle with a strong enemy. Instead, the shadow clones with weak and limited chakra reserves are used as disposable attack weapons in order to maximize the value of the shadow clones. Obviously, it is one of the conjecture schemes conceived and conjectured in this simulation process, and it is also the most basic scheme......

And on top of that, Naruto used the Konoha Fluid Technique, most of which he was able to learn from Maitkai through Kakashi's introduction and arrangement, and the original performance as a reference, and explored a set of physical combat methods that suppressed the enemy's actions as much as possible - Naruto Uzumaki's continuous bullets!

"Although after doing this, there will be a great probability that Orochimaru will completely fall into a state of madness...... However, compared to the fact that the body has no time to complete that move, the probability of survival has dropped sharply. Or is it the price of the former, which can make it easier for me to accept it......"

Whispering to himself, in the memories that were shared from time to time, it was confirmed that the attack of the shadow clones was difficult to cause any substantive effect on Orochimaru. As a result, the like-minded "Naruto" just looked at each other for a while, and immediately gave up their original plan to passively delay time one after another. And before Orochimaru had time to form an effective defense, and for Naruto's "painless" attack, there was no chance of pride in his eyes. Let the four shadow clones step out in unison and rush together from four directions to the figure of Orochimaru, who is retreating again and again!

"Attack Method...... Changed? ”

At the same time, Orochimaru, who was keenly aware of Naruto's intention to change. Even if he still couldn't guess what Naruto was thinking. But in the face of the previous examples and the price of the embarrassment, Orochimaru, who seemed to be passively beaten, but actually secretly accumulated the power to fight back, naturally would no longer be stupidly waiting for Naruto to act smoothly. Turning to a slight frown, he poured chakra into the palms of his feet, using it to increase his grip and more quickly counteract the continuous impact of Naruto's successive attacks on his body. At the moment when he just stood firm, he raised his arms without hesitation, ready to summon a swarm of poisonous snakes again to repel the strange joint attack of the "Naruto"!

"Tsk...... No matter what this stinky little devil is up to, he can't be allowed to continue to be arrogant like this...... Ninja! Shulker ......"

"Tu Dun! The art of decapitation in the heart! ”

However, before Orochimaru summoned the group of poisonous snakes as he wished, he didn't even have a complete thought in his heart...... With a clear cheer from the soles of Orochimaru's feet, a pair of immature hands stained with dust took advantage of Orochimaru's attention to focus on the opportunity of the four shadow splitters, and instantly broke through the ground and drilled out. And while firmly grasping Orochimaru's ankles, he poured his whole body strength into his arms. While unceremoniously dragging down, it seems that he intends to pull Orochimaru's tall and slender figure straight into the ground!

"It's ...... When did that stinky little ghost hide a shadow clone underground?! ”

The ankle was suddenly grabbed by someone, causing a brief distraction and a flaw. Naturally, the preparations that made Orochimaru plan to use the Shulker Snake Hand completely fell into an embarrassing situation. Immediately after Orochimaru came back to his senses, he gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice, while temporarily putting aside his intention to deal with the "Naruto" attacking around him, and once again increased the amount of chakra applied to his feet. In this way, it strengthens its grip and completely stops the backward and falling trend of the body, and at the same time, it also strengthens the physical fitness of the legs. Then the leg muscles tense and curled up, and they planned to jump up and directly break through this increasingly uncomfortable embarrassing situation!

"Be smart...... Break it for me! ”

And with Orochimaru's angry shout, through the tension of his legs, the powerful power he had accumulated. In the process of Orochimaru's instantaneous outbreak, not only did he completely get out of the embarrassment of being "suppressed by Naruto and unable to fight back". At the same time as stomping on the ground and jumping high, he easily broke free from the blocking and containment of "Naruto" hiding in the ground!

"Wait a minute, this feels ...... Oh no, it's tricked again! ”

It's a pity that after completing this series of actions as he wished, Orochimaru not only felt the slightest relaxation and happiness for this...... On the contrary, after a short period of hesitation, I began to regret it deeply!

There is no other reason than ......

It's not so much that Orochimaru managed to get out of the predicament with his own strength...... It's more like Naruto did it on purpose. So much so that it was almost when Orochimaru was full of strength and tried to get out of the decapitation technique in the heart of "Naruto". "Naruto" not stopped it in the slightest, but at the moment when Orochimaru exerted his strength, he decisively chose to dissipate directly!

And this is like a bow and arrow that is full of strings and is ready to fire, and someone suddenly lets go......

In order to get out of the current predicament, and at the moment of going all out, he lost the restriction and interference of the external force of "Naruto". made Orochimaru not only jump in height, but far beyond his imagination and expectations. Even the speed of jumping up seems to have made a qualitative leap compared with its original illusion speculation! So much so that when Orochimaru saw the playful and treacherous smile that appeared on the faces of the "Naruto". Although Orochimaru reacted immediately, he probably stepped into Naruto's trickery again. But it's the same as the situation when he was firmly hit by Naruto's unfancy spiral pill before. Because he was in mid-air, he had nowhere to gain a foothold and change the trajectory of his actions, resulting in a temporary loss of control over his body. The big snake pill that made his eyes tear could only be in the process of his body's upward momentum about to fail, and he turned to free fall. Like a fish on a chopping board, gritting his teeth and letting Naruto slaughter and dispose of it!

Of course, compared to the remorseful Orochimaru...... Naruto, who once again succeeded in inviting you into the urn, will definitely not waste this precious opportunity in vain!

Not only did he make the four shadow clones who were already in the process of getting closer and closer, but they were also close to Orochimaru. At the moment when Orochimaru's body jumped, he jumped up immediately after him. Then use flying kicks or emulate the dragon punch of an arcade machine...... The maximum strength that the shadow clone can exert is unreservedly vented on Orochimaru with this simplest and most rustic attack method without any fancy fancy! And then with this continuous external force as additional kinetic energy, the original downward momentum of Orochimaru's body was effectively contained and relieved, and at the same time, it involuntarily flew upside down higher and higher.

In this case, even if the ontology does not give any commands. The "Naruto", who were already the same body, still reached a consensus in a short eye contact. In turn, the remaining shadow clones present closely followed the flight trajectory of Orochimaru's body, so that as the "Naruto" jumped up one after another, they would once again launch a powerful additional attack! While borrowing the effect of the reaction force caused by the attack. Let Orochimaru's body, silently, begin to move in a direction away from Naruto's body, consciously moving and transferring!

Of course, for Orochimaru...... It's not all bad.

After all, despite each attack, all the chakras in the shadow body's body were drained. So much so that the moment the attack ends, it will dissipate and disarm on its own...... But the reserves of chakra are too scarce. So much so that not to mention the combination ninjutsu, even if it is a spiral pill that does not need to consume too much chakra, among the "Naruto", there is no one who can do this!

In other words, the seemingly menacing Naruto Uzumaki, from beginning to end, is nothing more than a pure collection of physical arts. It's even half of Naruto's expected lethality, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet the target...... After all, Naruto's original idea was to make Naruto Uzumaki's combo. But the shadow clones each have a spiral pill, and they don't want money, the kind that greets the opponent's face directly!

And at the moment, the shadow clones are extremely lacking chakra support, so they can only helplessly and embarrassingly perform pure physical arts. Although Naruto's body, because of the hard training that began since childhood, led to a strength far superior to that of his peers, and even a small percentage of adult ninjas. But for Orochimaru, who has shadow-level strength and has undergone software transformation. The full force of the "Naruto" still seems a little too painful!

"After the change in the way of attacking, the power has really increased...... Hey, but that's not enough to defeat me......"

From the feedback from personal experience, I gradually saw the true side of the "Naruto". Let Orochimaru simply put his mind down, relying on his own software transformation, he has the physical advantages of strong resistance to shock. As if giving up resistance, he was facing the attack of the "Naruto" head-on. On the one hand, thoughtfully, by being condescending, the advantage of vision. Following the small movements of the shadow clones from time to time, he let himself realize that he had seen Naruto's body sitting cross-legged as if no one was around, and his eyes were closed!

Obviously, as the law says "the protagonist is always the last to appear...... In the case that all the hopes of victory are pinned on a special ninjutsu that will take a lot of time to complete. made it difficult to reach the peak level, but still did not give up the attack of the "Naruto". It's not so much to hit the Great Snake Pill hard, but to say that it's to buy time for the body as much as possible!

"Even now, I don't plan to enter the state of tailed beasts...... Could it be that that stinky little ghost really looks down on me? Or, does he still have any more trustworthy and powerful hole cards than the tailed beast of the human pillar force? ”

The fight next to him was in full swing, but Naruto's body turned a deaf ear, and he sat cross-legged in a leisurely manner. Let Orochimaru raise his eyebrows slightly, vaguely aware of a growing sense of crisis. Immediately, by giving up the useless and laborious idea of blocking defense, he put his hands in front of him, and began to resist the interference of the attacks of the "Naruto", and quickly sealed.

"There's no time left, and it's going to be wasted like this with his shadow clone...... No matter what the hell the hell that stinky boy is up to, he must find a way to stop him before he succeeds! ”

And as Orochimaru's thoughts emerged, his slender and white hands, as if born from each other, moved quickly and sensitively while being placed in front of him in an instant.

"Don't succeed!"

After seeing Orochimaru unabashedly seal in front of him in order to perform some kind of ninjutsu. made the "Naruto", who originally thought that the victory was in their hands, suddenly panicked. Immediately, they all drank angrily, and they didn't care about what they didn't cooperate, and they began to pounce on Orochimaru in a swarm. And then try to completely interrupt and stop Orochimaru's sealing action before he performs any large-scale lethal ninjutsu!

"Bang ——!"

It's a pity that the result this time was that it was the turn of the "Naruto" to collectively show a stunned and unbelievable look while the attack failed......

There is no other reason, just because, at the moment when he tried to forcibly interrupt Orochimaru's "reading note", he successfully hit Orochimaru's body...... Orochimaru's body turned into a broken wooden stake full of holes in a burst of white mist that rose up in a curling stream!

Obviously, Orochimaru, who originally spurned the basic ninjutsu of the stand-in technique and called it a small trick that did not enter the stream...... In order to get out with minimal consumption, he did not hesitate to slap himself in the face!
