Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 720: Kakashi VS Orochimaru

Chapter 720: Kakashi VS Orochimaru

Anbu’s Headquarters.

Amidst the violent roar, thick smoke billowed and flames shot into the sky. Countless broken glass shards fell from the sky like snowflakes, and the surrounding villagers frantically fled for their lives like fertilized rabbits, the series of screams and calls for help spread far and wide.

Several Anbu jumped out of the building and quickly evacuated the panicked crowd.

Orochimaru, Taki and Mei walked against the crowd to the outside of the Anbu’s Headquarters. When they looked up, they saw that the building was covered in thick smoke and fire, and vague figures could be seen running back and forth under the black smoke, suspected to be conducting emergency rescue.

Orochimaru frowned, subconsciously feeling that there was a trap ahead.

This is the Anbu’s Headquarters. Even if there was an explosion due to a sneak attack by Danzo, the Shinobi inside are not useless trash. Even if the explosion cannot be prevented, can’t we use Wind Release to blow away the dense smoke, or use Water Release to extinguish the flames?

‘It’s just… If there is really a trap in the Anbu’s Headquarters, does it mean that Danzo’s plan has already been known to Yondaime, and everything today is just them beating Danzo at his own game?’

Although Orochimaru and Danzo had a falling out, in his impression, Danzo was an extremely steady, cautious, and tolerant conspirator. If he dared to launch a ‘rebellion' today, he must have the belief that he would win, but now…

When Orochimaru was thinking about it, Mei also clearly noticed this, and said coldly: “The situation is not right, the reaction of Konoha’s Anbu is too strange.”

‘When they had time, they sent people to evacuate the crowd, but no one put out the fire, can they act better?’

Mei originally just wanted to go through the motions, but now, she had even more reason to retreat.

Taki next to them pushed his big sunglasses, and suggested: “Orochimaru, we are all people who are not afraid of death anyway, so why don’t we try it out? What if there is an unexpected harvest?”

‘Not afraid of death?’

Mei's eyes flickered: ‘Shadow clone?’

‘These bastards!’

‘Fortunately, I am not stupid either.’

Mei smiled charmingly.

“In that case, come with me…”

Orochimaru was interrupted as soon as he speaks.

“How about you come with me?”

On the third floor of the Anbu’s Headquarters where the smoke was billowing, a blurry figure suddenly jumped out of the broken window. The silver white hair was rippling in the wind. It was Kakashi, the captain of the sixth team.

“Orochimaru, you finally came forward!” Kakashi slowly lifted the forehead protector, revealing the closed Sharingan.

“Kakashi…”

Orochimaru narrowed his golden vertical pupils and was about to speak when he saw more and more figures jumping out of the Anbu’s Headquarters, and surrounded Orochimaru, Taki and Mei!

Orochimaru looked around and saw that there were at least five or six Anbu’s teams here!

‘It's indeed a trap!’

‘Danzo, without me, you are getting worse and worse!’

Orochimaru’s smile became more and more cold, and the thought in his mind was: ‘Since things have developed to this point, we can only force our way in!’

‘At any rate, I am just a clone, so it doesn’t matter if I die, besides…’

He glanced at Taki and Mei, and smiled coldly.

‘Terumi Mei, who is Kirigakure’s envoy, is about to clash with Konoha’s Anbu at this time, which will inevitably affect the relationship between Konoha and Kirigakure. The more chaotic the situation in the Shinobi World, the more favorable it will be for me so that I can leave Akatsuki.’

‘As for Taki, if Abyss is in Konoha, then from his fight with Konoha’s Anbu, I may be able to infer that he…’

Bang!

With a crisp sound, Taki dissipated into light smoke.

Orochimaru's face twitched when he saw this.

Bang!

Mei also dissipated into smoke.

“…” Orochimaru’s expression immediately darkened.

“Orochimaru, aren’t you just a shadow clone?” Kakashi, who stood across from the station, smiled, with a playful look in his eyes and an even more frivolous tone.

Orochimaru felt that his reputation as Konoha’s Sannin has been trampled by the Copy Ninja opposite him.

“It’s enough to deal with you guys.” Orochimaru’s figure flashed and turned into an afterimage as he rushed towards Kakashi.

“Raikiri!”

Facing Orochimaru, one of Konoha’s Sannin, even if the other party might be just a shadow clone, Kakashi did not dare to be careless at all, so he immediately formed hand seals and used his own upgraded version of Chidori.

Zzzztttttt…

The dazzling lightning converged and exploded in Kakashi’s right hand, just the chirping of thousands of birds.

Boom!

Raikage flashed, and Kakashi has turned into an afterimage and charged towards the speeding Orochimaru.

The scarlet 3-Tomoe Sharingan is firmly locked onto Orochimaru’s every move. In the instant where the two are close at hand, Kakashi’s Raikiri accurately cuts towards Orochimaru’s heart!

But at the next moment.

Orochimaru’s body twisted like a snake. With a playful snake move, he avoids Kakashi's Raikiri in an incredible arc. Then, Orochimaru lifted his leg, then choke Kakashi, and then attacked with his elbows and Kakashi was knocked away with a bang.

The thunderous sound stopped abruptly!

And Orochimaru didn't stop and sprinted straight towards the Anbu’s Headquarters!

“Captain Kakashi!”

Standing on the side, Tenzo’s face changed slightly, and he was about form hand seals to use Wood Release, but then he heard a bang and Kakashi in mid-air turned into smoke and disappeared.

‘Shadow clone?’

Orochimaru sneered and snorted disdainfully.

“Raikiri!”

At this moment, on the top floor of the Anbu’s Headquarters, a bright lightning suddenly pierced through the black smoke and shot down like a thunderbolt!

“Humph.”

Orochimaru snorted coldly, tip-toed a little while galloping, and his flexible body suddenly soars into the sky, violently colliding with the thunderbolt dropping from the sky.

Bang, bang, bang…

Under the series of physical collisions, Kakashi was knocked out once again and fell fiercely in the direction where Tenzo was.

‘This time, it’s probably a shadow clone too.’

Tenzo thought so, and then saw Kakashi fall on the steps with a thud. However, he didn’t disappear, and instead, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and quickly spread along the black mask.

Kakashi raised his head and looked at Tenzo, who also looked at Kakashi, and the two stared at each other for a while.

Tenzo then asked in surprise: “It’s not a shadow clone?”

Kakashi looked at him with emotionless eyes and said, “So you think shadow clone doesn’t need to be supported?”

Tenzo hurried over and helped him up.

At this time, Orochimaru has rushed to the entrance of the Anbu’s Headquarters, and the surrounding Anbu’s Shinobi also swarmed towards, fighting in hand-to-hand combat with Orochimaru!

Thick smoke and flames are flying above the Anbu’s Headquarters, and the crackling sounds were heard below. The battle is extremely fierce!

After Kakashi got up, he rushed over again without saying a word: “Raikiri!”

Tenzo was unwilling to be left behind, so he formed hand seals, and his right hand suddenly turned into a thick vine that winded towards Orochimaru.

“Wood Release? So you are the child back then.”

Orochimaru glanced disdainfully, how could this kind of attack hit him?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he felt his spirit was shaken, and his body was unable to move for a while.

‘Genjutsu?’

Orochimaru looked around intently, and saw a pair of scarlet 3-tomoe, like a bloody full moon, it quickly filled his field of vision.

In the next moment, Tenzo’s vines entangled Orochimaru, and Kakashi’s Raikiri also pierced into Orochimaru’s throat at the same time.
