Orochimaru's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
An intense aura of death swept over him.
What kind of technique is this? Even someone like him felt genuine danger.
For the first time, a trace of excitement appeared in Orochimaru's pupils—the same disgusting look he always had when discovering a potential vessel.
He licked his lips and said with interest, "Good, I didn't expect you to be hiding such a technique."
The sun-like energy sphere in Sora's palm slammed directly into Orochimaru's chest.
Boom!
Orochimaru was blasted fifty to sixty meters away.
A terrifying heatwave exploded outward, forming a raging firestorm that continuously burned Orochimaru's body before detonating into a violent shockwave of flames.
Everything within a radius of fifty to sixty meters was instantly turned into a blazing purgatory.
The ground cracked.
Trees were incinerated.
Orochimaru's body was blown apart completely.
Even with his heavily modified body that could withstand Monster Strength Fist, he was still torn to pieces by this attack.
Sora stood in place, breathing heavily.
"Huff… huff…"
This technique had been perfected by him.
Unlike the incomplete Wind Release: Rasenshuriken that Uzumaki Naruto would develop in the future—which damaged the user's body—Sora's technique caused no harm to himself.
However, the consumption was enormous.
Not only did it drain a massive amount of chakra, it also consumed a tremendous amount of mental energy to stabilize and control such violent power.
Hidden in the distance, Aburame Shino trembled slightly.
He muttered in disbelief, "What kind of technique is this… it's terrifying."
Participating in the same Chunin Exams as Sora was both a blessing and a curse.
The blessing was witnessing such overwhelming power.
The curse was that everyone else would inevitably be overshadowed.
Beside him, Inuzuka Kiba stared blankly.
"This monster… what kind of Genin is he? Even a Jonin would only be this strong."
Hyuga Hinata's face turned pale.
Through her Byakugan, she had clearly seen the shocking changes inside Sora's body during the attack.
She thought nervously, Is he even human?
At that moment, a strange voice suddenly echoed.
"Hehe… Sora, you truly continue to surprise me."
A grotesque scene unfolded.
From the mangled corpse of Orochimaru, a completely new body suddenly emerged, covered in a sticky fluid.
This was Orochimaru's unique Substitution Jutsu.
Although extremely disgusting, it was incredibly effective.
Each use consumed a large amount of chakra.
However, for a Kage-level expert like Orochimaru, that amount of chakra was insignificant.
Orochimaru stared at Sora with excitement.
"A Rasengan infused with Fire nature transformation… the power is truly astonishing."
He continued with fascination, "And just now your speed, strength, reactions, chakra flow, and combat awareness all improved dramatically."
Orochimaru's eyes gleamed, "Is this your Bloodline Limit?"
He licked the corner of his mouth again, "I'm becoming more and more interested in you."
Sora calmly took out a bottle of nutrient solution from his pocket and drank it.
The liquid helped recover chakra.
Although its recovery speed was slower than a Military Rations Pill, it had no side effects and even nourished the body.
Sora wiped his mouth and said coldly, "Unfortunately, I don't have the slightest interest in you."
Orochimaru chuckled darkly, "Hehe… your mouth really isn't very pleasant."
He tilted his head slightly and said mockingly, "Didn't Tsunade teach you to respect your seniors?"
Then he added calmly, "But it doesn't matter. As a reward for your performance, I'll give you a small gift."
The moment he finished speaking, Orochimaru's neck suddenly extended forward like a snake striking its prey.
He had already noticed how much chakra Sora consumed during the previous attack.
Now was the perfect opportunity to place the Cursed Seal.
Whatever Orochimaru desired, he would obtain.
It didn't matter if Sora was Tsunade's disciple.
Sora's eyes suddenly turned cold.
His pupils transformed.
The originally black pupils turned blood red, contrasting sharply against the white sclera.
The eerie appearance made his gaze extremely terrifying.
A crimson light suddenly erupted in his palm.
Inside his mind, Sora roared silently.
Today I'll teach you a lesson.
The consequences of targeting me.
"Soul Devouring Hand!"
A mass of blood-colored energy burst from Sora's palm.
The aura it emitted was completely different from the Blazing Spiral earlier.
The Blazing Spiral was violent and explosive.
But the Soul Devouring Hand compressed all of its power into a single point.
It was quiet.
Hidden.
Yet terrifying.
Orochimaru's eyes widened slightly.
What kind of technique is this?
Even someone as experienced as Orochimaru had never seen it before.
Instinctively, he prepared to use Substitution Jutsu.
However—
A powerful suction force suddenly erupted from Sora's palm.
Orochimaru's extended head was already extremely close.
The sudden suction made it impossible to escape.
Sora's hand grabbed Orochimaru's head instantly.
"Orochimaru!"
Sora roared as killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Orochimaru immediately felt something horrifying.
The blood and Qi inside his body began surging uncontrollably.
Even his chakra was being dragged toward Sora's palm.
Orochimaru shouted angrily, "Let go!"
He opened his mouth, preparing to spit out the Kusanagi Sword.
But at that exact moment—
Boom!
A terrifying shockwave exploded from Sora's palm.
The force penetrated directly into Orochimaru's body.
"Pff!"
Orochimaru spat out a mouthful of blood.
His body was blasted backward violently.
For the first time since the battle began Orochimaru was injured.
Even when facing the devastating Blazing Spiral, Orochimaru had not been injured.
Yet this single strike forced him to spit blood.
The scene was unbelievable.
After all, compared to the Blazing Spiral, the Soul Devouring Hand appeared far less destructive.
In terms of raw destructive power, the Soul Devouring Hand indeed could not match the Blazing Spiral.
However powerful techniques were not always about large-scale destruction.
Against conventional attacks, Orochimaru was extremely confident.
Even S-Rank techniques like the Blazing Spiral could be dealt with.
But the Soul Devouring Hand was far too strange.
It had suction.
It required no hand seals.
It could be launched instantly.
And its power was still extremely high.
Sora had only obtained this technique a few days earlier.
As his mysterious Bloodline Limit continued evolving and improving, the power of his techniques would grow even further.
Compared to the Blazing Spiral, the Soul Devouring Hand was superior in almost every aspect except destructive range.
This was clearly demonstrated in this battle.
Orochimaru could withstand the Blazing Spiral.
But the Soul Devouring Hand had injured him immediately.
Because it was unpredictable.
And even Orochimaru could not avoid suffering a loss when facing it for the first time.
