Mid-air.
Orochimaru looked back at Shiraishi, his eyes full of coldness.
Obviously, such injuries were not enough to kill Orochimaru.
However, his goal was not to kill the other party, after all, he also wanted to obtain the address of Chonggo's village from the other party.
However, looking at the current situation, if the other party is not pushed to the edge, the other party may not actively cooperate.
In this case, Shiraishi no longer hesitated, and with a twist of his wrist, the 'Dark Blue' changed from a horizontal slash to an oblique thrust, and slashed straight towards Orochimaru's chest.
Just as the blade was about to touch Orochimaru, Orochimaru suddenly opened his mouth and stabbed out with a long sword.
Only a "ding" sound was heard, and the sword was pressed against the blade.
Then, a huge force came, and half of Orochimaru's body was in the air. There was no place to borrow the force, so he flew out directly.
However, this also allowed him to avoid Shiraishi's attack.
At the same time, Orochimaru formed seals with his hands, shouted softly, and performed the regeneration technique.
I saw countless long, thin snakes growing from the wounds on his upper and lower bodies, and then connected together across a distance of nearly three meters.
Subsequently, Orochimaru's injuries recovered as before.
Seeing this, Shiraishi immediately swung his sword away and slashed at the opponent's body again.
However, at this moment, Orochimaru twisted his body and bent into an exaggerated arc like a water snake, avoiding the knife.
‘Software transformation~’
Shiraishi's heart moved and he recognized Orochimaru's method.
However, he had no intention of stopping. With a twist of his wrist, the long knife struck Orochimaru again.
At the same time, he tapped his feet lightly and moved his whole body close to Orochimaru so that he could not escape from the battle.
Although Orochimaru's body has been modified, whether it is flexibility, nerve response, muscle density, etc., it is much stronger than ordinary ninjas.
But compared to Shiraishi, it's still a bit unsatisfactory.
Shiraishi's current strength and speed, even without chakra enhancement, are stronger than the Fourth Raikage under the 'Strongest Thunder Armor'.
In this way, Orochimaru is no match for him in close combat.
If it weren't for the opponent's physical recovery ability that was different from ordinary people and his rich combat experience, he would have died by his sword long ago.
After swinging his sword again to block Shiraishi's attack, Orochimaru looked extremely ugly.
In just one or two minutes of fighting, he had already been injured in many places, but Shiraishi was not injured at all thanks to the super defensive power of his 'Chakra Hagoromo'.
If this continues, he will definitely be defeated.
Glancing at Danzo in the distance from the corner of his eye, Orochimaru gritted his teeth and secretly said: "Fight!"
Thinking like this, he swung away Shiraishi's long knife with all his strength, his feet turned into snake tails, and he opened the distance at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing this, Shiraishi immediately followed.
But before he could get close, Orochimaru dropped the Kusanagi sword in his hand, started to form seals, and then slapped his palm on the ground, as if he was trying to channel something.
How could this white stone go as he intended? His steps paused slightly, and chakra was injected into the illusion ring, activating the illusion recorded in it.
Immediately, Orochimaru felt his eyes blurred and lost the ability to sense his body.
'Illusion!'
In an instant, Orochimaru realized the problem.
Without any hesitation, he immediately disrupted his own chakra in an attempt to break the illusion.
However, at this time, the channeling process had been interrupted, and the half-raised coffin sank again.
That's right, it's a coffin.
Just like channeling Danzo, Orochimaru channeled a coffin this time, but it had a big "three" written on it.
Although he couldn't see who was inside, Shiraishi could roughly guess that except for the Third Kazekage, there seemed to be no one else.
After successfully interrupting Orochimaru's spell, Shiraishi quickened his speed again, took a few steps forward, and came to him.
Then, the sword flashed and struck directly at the opponent's chest.
At this moment, Orochimaru broke free from the influence of the genjutsu.
Looking at the long knife coming towards him, he reacted quickly. While tilting his head back and staying as far away from the blade as possible, he raised his hand to summon a poisonous snake and attack Baishi.
Stab~
The sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh was heard. Even though Orochimaru tried his best to dodge, he was still inevitably hurt.
Ignoring the horrific wound on his chest, Orochimaru activated the poisonous snake to spray out a large amount of poisonous mist.
In the blink of an eye, Shiraishi's vision was obscured by a purple mist, but this did not affect his attack. His keen perception allowed him to firmly lock Orochimaru's position.
The long knife in his hand was swung again, and there was another "stab" sound, and Orochimaru had another wound on his body.
Shiraishi took advantage of the victory and pursued the attack, slashing out the sword one after another. Orochimaru had no time to retrieve the Kusanagi sword and could only passively dodge.
The huge gap in strength and speed left Orochimaru with no time to care, and within a short time, he was seriously injured.
As for those poisonous fogs
Apart from affecting his vision, it cannot cause any harm to him at all.
Although the level VII [Poison Resistance] is not high, it is definitely not low either. At least it can resist these snake venoms, which is more than enough.
It stands to reason that the situation is great and Shiraishi should be happy, but there is no sign of relaxation on his face.
Without it, Shiraishi didn't believe that Orochimaru would be captured without hesitation. The opponent would surely wait for an opportunity to launch a counterattack or escape.
Therefore, he will not relax until the dust settles.
Just when Shiraishi was thinking about what other methods the other party had, Orochimaru's voice suddenly came into his ears: "Tian Country, Blackwater Town!"
"What?"
This sudden sound shocked Shiraishi, and the movements of his hands could not help but slow down for half a beat.
Orochimaru seized this rare opportunity, turned his feet into snake tails again, and ran towards the cave entrance not far away at an extremely fast speed.
By the time Shiraishi reacted, the other party had already opened a distance of nearly ten meters.
Seeing this, Shiraishi didn't hesitate at all and immediately chased after him.
However, it was too late, Orochimaru had already disappeared at the entrance of the cave.
As early as in the previous battle, Orochimaru was leading the battlefield here.
Shiraishi was already wary of this and was trying his best to stop him, but Orochimaru was not a fool. As the battle progressed, the two sides inevitably moved closer.
It was precisely because of this that Orochimaru found such a good opportunity.
Although the possibility of catching up with the opponent was slim, Shiraishi still pursued him with a sense of luck.
But as soon as he got into the hole, countless venomous snakes of different sizes and colors poured out.
That's right, it just came out.
Even if Shiraishi does not have trypophobia, facing the scene in front of him, he still inevitably feels uncomfortable.
Without any hesitation, Shiraishi put down the 'Dark Blue', completed the seal in an instant, and performed the C-level ninjutsu - Fire Release and Dragon Fire Jutsu.
I saw a stream of flames spurting out from his mouth, like a fire dragon, roaring and rushing into the group of snakes, scorching everything along the way.
Before the flames dissipated, Bai Shi got into the cave, but before he could get far, a violent explosion sounded again.
Suddenly, the ground in the cave shook, as if it was about to collapse completely, and Shiraishi had to slow down.
After such a delay, Orochimaru's aura disappeared from his range of perception, and he didn't know whether he hid or ran away.
"Blackwater Town of Tian Country."
After repeating the last address mentioned by the other party, Shiraishi thought for a while and finally gave up the idea of continuing the pursuit.
Now that the goal has been achieved, it doesn't matter whether Orochimaru is caught or not.
As for this address, it is fake.
This possibility exists, but it's not very likely. Considering Orochimaru's character, I might want to take this opportunity to observe whether he can learn the sage mode!
Moreover, even if it turns out that this address is fake, it doesn't matter. The ninja world is so big anyway, where can Orochimaru hide?
As long as you put in the effort to look for it, you can always find it.
Sorry, I'm still feeling a little unwell, so there's only one update today.
