"Lord Orochimaru." The Jonin who had been stopping Duy couldn't help but speak up.
He still wanted to stop Orochimaru from fighting Might Duy. After all, this was an Elite Jonin.
And he was known as the "Cold Lord" because Orochimaru was too impersonal, leading Konoha's own people to criticize him with this title.
What if Orochimaru killed Might Duy!
"Lan-kun!" Orochimaru's snake eyes stared at this Jonin. "You have contradicted me repeatedly."
Intense killing intent erupted from Orochimaru, instantly enveloping Lan.
The intense killing intent was so oppressive that it made it hard to move freely.
Lan's finger twitched, but he didn't resist and lowered his head.
"Lan, I know you don't want me to go to the battlefield, but I can't just do nothing when the village is in danger."
Might Duy gave a thumbs up to Lan.
"To fight for the village, I am willing."
At this moment.
Those who had been mocking Might Duy couldn't help but lower their heads.
Orochimaru applauded with a smile.
"A wonderful speech. But Duy-kun, if you can't gain my approval, I won't let you go to the battlefield."
Orochimaru was finding it harder and harder to empathize with these people.
In the past, he would have felt a lot too.
Now.
He just found it incomprehensible.
Life was already fragile. Why actively throw it away?
"I understand, Jonin Orochimaru. I will go all out."
Might Duy nodded seriously.
Facing Lord Orochimaru, an Elite Jonin, he should probably need to open the Gate of Death.
But unfortunately, he could barely open up to the Sixth Gate now, and that was achieved with the help of Internal Cultivation entering the second stage.
However.
He just needed to make Jonin Orochimaru acknowledge him.
Orochimaru waved his hand, and instantly everyone scattered, leaving an open space for the two to fight.
"Then I'm coming! Jonin Orochimaru!"
Might Duy crossed his arms in front of his face, veins popping on his forehead.
"Eight Gates Released Formation! Gate of Opening! Gate of Healing! Gate of Life! Gate of Pain! Gate of Limit!"
"Gate of View! Sixth Gate, Open!"
Deep green chakra erupted from Might Duy, and airwaves rolled around his body.
His skin also turned red due to congestion.
"What an astonishing amount of chakra!"
Orochimaru's eyes widened in surprise. Such astonishingly explosive chakra.
It was almost like a Tailed Beast.
"Youth Dynamic Entry!"
Might Duy's figure vanished instantly at this moment. In just a split second, he appeared in front of Orochimaru, kicking in a flying kick posture.
The powerful flying kick hit Orochimaru instantly, shattering him into countless splashes of mud.
Earth Replacement Technique!
The real Orochimaru drilled out of the ground, his legs turning into snake tails.
He reached out his hands towards Might Duy.
"Hidden Shadow Many Snakes Hands!" Several large snakes appeared around him.
As soon as Might Duy landed, the snakes wrapped around him.
"Rankyaku! Dance of Youth!"
Might Duy's legs turned into afterimages, forming rapid kicks. Each kick sent out a green crescent-shaped energy blade.
The snakes were instantly blown to pieces of flesh and blood.
Allowing Might Duy to escape safely.
"Rankyaku!?"
Orochimaru immediately recognized this as one of Uchiha Jin's taijutsu techniques.
Using the legs to generate powerful kinetic energy, gathering a large amount of chakra, and kicking out to create a vacuum.
It had very high requirements for skill and chakra.
Seeing the incoming slash, Orochimaru's body was instantly cut open.
However, the mouth of the remaining upper body suddenly stretched open extremely wide, and a wet Orochimaru crawled out from inside.
Orochimaru-Style Body Replacement Technique.
He threw a shuriken with a wave of his hand, forming seals rapidly with both hands.
"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique."
One shuriken quickly multiplied into a sky full of shuriken flying towards Might Duy, blocking all his paths of advance.
The dense shuriken left no gap for anyone to pass through.
Might Duy looked at the massive number of shuriken in front of him and began to punch rapidly. His fists rubbed against the air, causing a scorching reaction, sending out burning shockwaves to meet the sky full of shuriken.
"This move is called Morning Peacock!!"
This was also a method he thought of temporarily based on Rankyaku.
Countless shockwaves collided with the shuriken, evenly matched for a moment.
It also stopped the continued attack of the shuriken.
Orochimaru then opened his mouth towards the ground, and countless snakes poured out.
"Myriad Snake Formation!"
The ground was quickly overrun by snakes. Among the snakes, one raised its head and a sword blade emerged from its mouth. Then, all the snakes spat out sword blades.
Might Duy exerted force repeatedly under his feet, actually stepping on the air to soar upwards.
"Geppo! Running Youth!"
A smile hung on Orochimaru's face. Might Duy was giving him bigger and bigger surprises.
Moonwalk was the hardest of the taijutsu Uchiha Jin invented. Although rated as a B-Rank ninjutsu, the difficulty of using it surpassed B-Rank and reached A-Rank.
Mainly because it had extremely high requirements for one's speed and strength.
Even Orochimaru's body wasn't up to standard and couldn't use it.
"However, Jin-kun himself doesn't seem able to use it so freely."
Soon he didn't have time to think either.
Because Might Duy had already rushed over, stepping on the air.
The speed was so fast that even Orochimaru's eyes could barely keep up.
Might Duy had already rushed in front of Orochimaru. With a roundhouse kick in the air, he kicked heavily on Orochimaru's chest, but his foot easily pierced through Orochimaru's chest.
Might Duy's pupils contracted.
Inside Orochimaru's upper chest were countless snakes intertwined. What Might Duy kicked apart were all these intertwined snakes.
At the same time, Orochimaru's elongated body rushed up around Might Duy's leg, spitting out a long sword from his mouth that grew rapidly.
Swish! The sound of the sword cut through the sky.
A drop of blood fell.
Might Duy leaned his head back. A bloody line appeared between his eyebrows. At the same time, his other leg kicked heavily on Orochimaru's body, using the reaction force to move away quickly.
The countless snake shadows inside Orochimaru turned into blood foam. The next moment, more snake shadows emerged, reconnecting Orochimaru.
In the distance, Might Duy landed on the ground. The snakes on the ground had disappeared.
He pressed both hands on the ground, right leg bent in front, left leg straight behind.
"Lord Orochimaru, this is my final blow."
Might Duy could no longer sustain the Sixth Gate state.
"This is a move named after my son, and also my strongest strike."
"I look forward to it."
Orochimaru, having recovered his state, looked forward to Might Duy's performance very much.
The ground beneath Might Duy's feet began to crack.
The green chakra flow gradually expanded, seeming to form something, but because the chakra amount wasn't enough, it didn't take shape in the end.
The next moment.
The ground shattered, and Might Duy sprang out instantly.
He flew towards Orochimaru with a kick. The green chakra flow seemed to turn into a dragon.
The air was tearing, screaming.
"GUY!!"
