Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 901: Orochimaru's Arduous Journey

While Kanp? was distracted, Orochimaru had already blocked the enormous azure blade. He shook his unharmed right arm and the smile on his face became even more pronounced.

“Is that all, Kanp?-kun?” Orochimaru looked at Kanp? playfully.

At this moment, Orochimaru remembered the trembling Kanp? in front of him many years ago, remembered the humble Kanp? who bargained with him for a little bit of profit (Five-Attributes Ninjutsu, Kusanagi Sword), and also remembered the powerful Kanp? who chased, ambushed, and embarrassed him……

The memories flashed through his mind, and Orochimaru felt a thousand emotions. Finally… they turned into a gentle smile.

‘Everything has passed.’

“Big brother?” Karin, who was standing behind Kanp? at this time, looked a little worried, ‘Why do I feel like Big brother is going to be beaten up after seeing that pervert’s smile?’

‘Should I take Sasuke to run away first?’

‘No, I can’t let Big brother face the danger alone. My abilities will definitely help him!’

Karin clenched her fists, her red eyes staring tightly at Kanp?'s back. As soon as Kanp? was injured, she was ready to rush over and feed him her little hands!

Meanwhile, Sasuke, who was next to them, looked a bit depressed. He rested while refining Chakra, then uses Chakra to activated his Sharingan, trying to fish for some good things in the fight between Kanp? and Orochimaru!

Unfortunately, after watching for a while, whether it was Orochimaru's Body Revival Technique, software transformation, or Snake Steel Fist, or Kanp?'s Konoha-Style Kenjutsu, there is no Taijutsu that Sasuke can copy.

‘So uncomfortable!’

Sasuke frowned, but then suddenly thought of Naruto.

‘I wonder how that idiot is doing.’

……

Deep in the forest.

After chasing the enemy wildly with hundreds of shadow clones, Naruto finally blocked the Kirigakure’s Shinobi under a tree!

“Hey, don't come over here. If you do, I won't hold back!!” The Kirigakure’s Shinobi shouted with strength while feeling weak inside.

“Really?”

“Then, should we not hold back too?”

“If you don’t want to get beaten up, hurry up and hand over the scroll!”

“Don't try to be clever!”

“Hurry up, don't dilly-dally!”

The hundreds of shadow clones cracked their knuckles, each one glaring at the Kirigakure’s Shinobi with malice.

The Kirigakure’s Shinobi immediately surrendered, backing against the tree trunk, tiptoeing and shouting, “Don’t hit me, the scroll, the scroll… It's not on me, it's not on me!!”

“Huh?” Naruto's main body stepped forward among the shadow clones and said, “But just now your companion just said the scroll was on you!”

The Kirigakure’s Shinobi angrily said: “He's lying. The truth is, the scroll is on him. You've been fooled by him!”

“What?” Naruto was startled, ‘I was fooled?’

‘Bastard!’

Naruto was furious and immediately punched the Kirigakure’s Shinobi.

The other shadow clones also didn't hold back, each one punching the unlucky Kirigakure’s Shinobi half to death!

Naruto then disbanded the shadow clones and returned the way he came.

……

Under the tree hole.

Orochimaru, who had let go of the past, looked at Kanp? with a smile and said: “Kanp?-kun, if this is your limit, then I truly apologize to you.”

“My limit?”

Kanp? returned from his distracted state, and looked surprised, ‘Do I even have that thing?’

‘Nope!’

“Orochimaru, you're putting on too much of a show. It's time for you to wrap up!” Kanp? said in a pretentious manner.

Kanp? put away the Kusanagi Sword. As his azure pupils opened and closed, a layer of green Chakra cloak rose from his body like smoke, casting a verdant hue around him!

Immediately after, Kanp? floated in the air like a celestial being. A powerful aura surged from his body, and the green Chakra on his body danced in the wind, domineering and arrogant!

‘What is that?’

Sasuke and Kaede's faces were tinted green, both looking dumbfounded at Kanp?'s back.

Orochimaru also frowned slightly, but he had a guess in his heart, ‘Could it be… the power of a Biju?’

“Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!” Orochimaru tentatively formed hand seals and released several yellow phosphorus snakes.

Kanp? scoffed, “Orochimaru, you're disrespecting me a bit.”

He stretched out his hand to condense the green Chakra, and with a move of his thought, a brilliant green beam shot out, thundering as it disintegrated Orochimaru's yellow phosphorus snakes in midair!

“Kanp?-kun, what kind of power is this?” The gentle smile on Orochimaru's face was slowly disappearing.

At this moment, he felt a strong sense of unease!

This unease was so familiar, as if from years ago…

‘No, this must be an illusion!’

‘Even if it's not an illusion, I'm not the same as I was back then!’

‘I still have Sharingan, I still have Wood Release, there's no way I could lose to him!!’

“Orochimaru, my power cannot be expressed in words. How about… you try it yourself?” Kanp? slowly lowered his posture, floating about twenty centimeters above the ground, looking at Orochimaru with encouragement.

Orochimaru’s eyes flashed with an angry look. He clenched his right fist and immediately launched a punch: Steel Release – Snake Steel Fist!!

The air exploded, and the dark black iron fist turned into a black streak and suddenly descended in front of The.

Kanp? chuckled at this, ‘So, you're really coming at me!’

He extended his right hand and quickly condensed a small, ink-black sphere, then threw it towards Orochimaru's Snake Steel Fist.

‘Huh?’

A strange look appeared in Orochimaru's eyes, ‘A small sphere?’

‘Is he using it to block my Snake Steel Fist?’

‘Is he bluffing, or does this black sphere have something peculiar about it?’

Thinking of this, Orochimaru cautiously activated Steel Release again, and dark black on his Snake Steel Fist suddenly turned pitch black, refracting a dark light under the sunlight, like a piece of refined steel!

Boop~

The Truth-Seeking Ball traced a graceful arc in the air, touching Orochimaru's glowing black Snake Steel Fist.

In that instant, Orochimaru's black fist dissipated like a bubble with a pop!

‘Huh?’

Orochimaru was stunned, ‘What happened just now?’

‘Strike while the iron's hot!’

Seeing Orochimaru in a daze, Kanp? quickly manipulated the Truth-Seeking Ball to crash into Orochimaru's black iron arm. Wherever it passed, the flesh and bone turned to ashes and dispersed!

Orochimaru stared dumbfoundedly at the scene before him. It wasn't until the Truth-Seeking Ball appeared in front of him that he suddenly snapped out of his daze and flickered backwards frantically!

‘What on earth is that thing?!’

Orochimaru stared at the black sphere floating in mid-air, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

“Orochimaru, how do you feel?” Kanp? floated down like a god descending to earth, and the Truth-Seeking Ball spun around in mid-air, flying towards Orochimaru.

As Orochimaru saw Truth-Seeking Ball coming towards him, his pupils contracted, and he quickly flickered backwards again.

“Orochimaru, didn't you just apologize to me? Come on, don't run.” Kanp? relentlessly chased after Orochimaru, feeling exceptionally pleased.

Orochimaru’s face turned green. At this moment, he didn't even dare to recall what he had just said. He thought he had stood on the peak again and could look down on Kanp? again, but he didn't expect …

‘Damn it!!’

Orochimaru looked sideways and deeply looked at Kanp?, who is wrapped in green Chakra, behind him, and caught a glimpse of a familiar black robe in the corner of his eye. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly formed hand seals with his left hand and slammed his palm on the ground.

Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears!!

Crack! Crack!

The earth shattered, and thick, sharp rock spears erupted violently, piercing straight towards… Karin and Sasuke.

Kanp? frowned slightly, and he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to Karin’s side, then grabbed them both and flew into the air.

Boom!

The rock spears collided in mid-air, and stone chips flew everywhere.

Kanp? looked back, but found that Orochimaru had already disappeared. He closed the eyes and tried to sense his presence, but unfortunately, he didn't detect Orochimaru's Chakra at all.

‘Is my Sensor Ninjutsu too weak?’

Kanp? looked at Karin in his hand with a guilty conscience and asked: “Karin, can you sense Orochimaru's Chakra?”

Hearing this, Karin quickly closed her eyes. After a while, she opened her red eyes, then shook her head with a regretful expression: “I can't sense it anymore, Big brother.”

‘He run so fast?’

Kanp? is dumbfounded.
