Naruto Pokemon chapter 173
🕑 Added 2024-12-04 11:39:13 +0000 UTCChapter 173 Cat Playing with Mouse
Orochimaru's playful voice, like a cat playing with a mouse, rang in Kaito's ears.
Due to the huge difference in strength, Orochimaru did not seem to have any intention of launching the first attack. It was not until the opponent approached him to such an extent that Kaito finally reacted.
Kaito suddenly exerted force with his legs and left the branch he had just stepped on.
Only then did he turn around and look at Orochimaru who was standing there motionless.
Kisame also quickly took Hiramekarei blade, and Kaito, who was on guard, confronted the enemy together.
Although it seemed that Orochimaru was the only one who appeared, Kaito still did not dare to be careless at all.
Thinking back to what Orochimaru had just said in his mind, Kaito asked in a puzzled tone.
"You found me? Have the other ninja swordsmen been dealt with?”
“Orochimaru-senpai actually came personally to deal with a small fry like me."
According to Kaito's estimation, Blue definitely hasn't arrived at the Kirigakure Hospital yet.
Kaito only hoped that Orochimaru could talk to him more so that he would have a chance to get supplies.
In his current state, he had no chance of fighting back, let alone running away. Even if Orochimaru really let him fly into the sky, his chakra wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
Although Orochimaru noticed that the kid on the opposite side seemed to want to delay time, he didn't care too much.
"Little boy, don't you remember? I told you last time."
Kaito was really confused now.
The last time they met was probably when they were chasing after Yakushi Nono.
However, at that time, Kaito was so scared when he saw Orochimaru appear that he didn't even remember what the other party said.
Orochimaru looked at Kaito's expression and thought that the kid was still trying to delay time, so he licked his lips with his tongue and spoke with a smile.
"I said last time that we can get to know each other better when we meet again."
After Orochimaru said this, even in such a tense atmosphere, Kaito almost lost his grip on the Shinsō in his hand.
Even Kisame, who was standing by, looked back and forth at the two people who were talking with a strange expression.
"Dr. Kaito, if you are familiar with Mr. Orochimaru, I can go first."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Kaito immediately retorted.
However, he also remembered that last time he used the "Secret Technique: Safeguard" to become immune to Orochimaru's illusion, and the other party mistakenly thought that he had some special physique.
With Orochimaru's vicious temper, even if he hasn't suffered any loss from the Sharingan yet, he will not easily let go of those with special physiques.
But this is just a 'secret technique', and handing it over could save his life.
However, before Kaito could explain, Orochimaru seemed to have noticed Kisame just now.
The look he gave to the two of them became even more passionate.
"Is he from the Hoshigaki clan? He seems to be a special individual. It seems that I am lucky today."
Well, now Kaito doesn't have to explain anything.
Kisame is indeed an outlier among the Hoshigaki clan. Ordinary members of the Hoshigaki clan do not have blue skin.
Now that both of them have been noted down on Orochimaru's research material list, it seems that this secret technique has been saved.
Just when Kaito was racking his brains, thinking about how to delay time, or even how to escape from Orochimaru's nose.
Seeing two guys so valuable for research right in front of him, Orochimaru could no longer control himself.
"Danger!"
A reminder sounded in his mind, and Kaito immediately jumped away from the branch.
The next moment, several colorful poisonous snakes shot from all directions towards the place where Kaito and Kisame had just stood.
Fortunately, with the reminder from Kaito, Kisame also quickly dodged.
However, while still in mid-air, a large number of poisonous snakes immediately flew over like shadows.
This time Orochimaru was right in front of him, and Kaito didn't want to be knocked down by the opponent because of the loss of balance due to his chakra wings.
He simply exchanged glances with Kisame.
The two of them raised their legs in unison, kicked their feet against each other, and instantly used each other's force to retreat, avoiding the attack of the snakes again.
However, Kaito, who was falling underground at an accelerated speed, just discovered it.
At this time, the entire ground was densely covered with countless various kinds of poisonous snakes, and many of them had long swords shining with cold light extending from their mouths.
These strange snakes with long swords in their mouths were pointing directly at Kaito who was falling from the sky.
It was too late to form hand seals or perform ninjutsu to clear the poisonous snakes below, so Kaito had no choice but to spread his wings again and fly into the sky.
But, as expected.
Orochimaru, who seemed to be unhurried, would not let go of his reserved experimental materials so easily.
"Wind Style: Air Current Dance"
A large area of disordered turbulence once again enveloped Kaito, interfering with his flight.
Kaito, who was forced to remove the chakra wings behind him, fell from the air again.
Fortunately, with the help of the short flight just now to adjust his position, Kaito did not fall to the ground, but turned over directly and used chakra to stick himself on a giant tree.
Looking back, he saw Kisame, who had circled behind Orochimaru at some point, swinging his sword with all his might.
The huge chakra light blade actually cut Orochimaru into two pieces.
However, Orochimaru, who was broken into two halves, did not bleed a drop of blood. Instead, the color gradually faded and the soil split into two sections and fell to the ground.
"Earth Clone! When?"
Just as Kisame was stunned, Orochimaru's body slowly emerged from the trunk of a giant tree behind him.
"The Shadow Snake Hand!"
Countless thick long snakes emerged from Orochimaru's sleeves and in the blink of an eye rushed towards Kisame who was in mid-air and unable to escape.
Facing the attack from behind, Kisame forced himself to curl up into a ball, but not to avoid the attack.
A large amount of chakra tail flames spurt out from the two round holes on the Hiramekarei, immediately causing Kisame to spin rapidly in the air.
At the same time, the chakra light blade formed by the Hiramekarei also changed from the previous sword form to a hoe-like shape.
As Kisame spun rapidly in the air, the hoe-shaped Hiramekarei light blade actually cut all the flying snakes into several pieces.
“Interesting.”
Watching Kisame's series of actions, Orochimaru not only did not feel frustrated by the failure of the sneak attack, but became more interested.
Kaito, who was hiding behind a tree in the distance, knew that even though Kisame seemed to have temporarily delayed the enemy.
But this was only because Orochimaru was simply toying with the two of them and did not use his full strength, or he wanted to capture a living experimental material.
The current Kisame is far from reaching the strength he had in the original work, and he may be quickly defeated by a serious Orochimaru at any time.
"We can't wait any longer!"
Although he felt that time might be short, Kaito was also worried about another accident, so he immediately formed seals and performed Summoning Jutsu.
'I hope Blue has arrived.'
“Bang~!”
White smoke exploded, but Kaito's face changed.
'Why does it consume so much chakra?'
‘How many supplies did Blue bring?’
