Comparison of the two Hokage: Both ninja worlds are devastated.

Orochimaru, as well as Jiraiya and Tsunade who were watching from the sidelines, all became serious.

Orochimaru, in particular, is extremely powerful yet overly cautious, behaving with unusual caution.

Each formation and tactic employed by Uehara Shinmei was not established arbitrarily, but rather was designed to address specific situations.

And after numerous simulations and experiments, the results have been remarkable.

If you encounter an unfamiliar ninja hastily, you could really suffer a great loss.

This Ding-Liu formation and E5 tactic were combinations he had never heard of or known before, so they must have something special and ingenious about them.

I don't know why, on the surface, the playing style doesn't seem to be much different from before?

Is this specifically designed to counter situations where a particular formation has been identified?

We really need to think about this carefully.

One warrior and one archer, one melee and one ranged, are responsible for coordinated harassment and creating opportunities for their teammates.

The others roam around looking for opportunities to attack; once they can effectively control the opponent, everyone immediately focuses fire.

If this tactic is figured out, what would be my next move?

Orochimaru became unusually cautious, while Minato and the others secretly chuckled to themselves.

The group had been hanging out together for three years, and knew each other extremely well.

As soon as Uehara Siming opened his mouth, they knew this guy was up to no good again.

They all began to sigh inwardly.

Uehara-kun is still the same Uehara-kun, as cunning as ever, and I don't know how his brain works, his thought process is completely different from normal people.

Poor Snake, he's about to be scammed.

In fact, there is no such thing as the Ding-Liu formation or the E5 tactic.

They are all too young at this stage, lack sufficient chakra, and only have a limited number of techniques that they can effectively use.

Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice; the actual tactics and combinations that can be implemented are quite limited.

Currently, there are only three formations: A, B, and C, and only four tactical systems: A, B, C, and D.

Especially when facing stronger opponents, there are fewer options available.

The so-called "Ding Formation" and "E Tactics" were just a way to fool Orochimaru into not knowing how many tricks they actually had.

The overall strategy remained the same as the original plan, only Orochimaru thought there was another plan.

"boom!"

Uehara Shimei brought down a heavy slash, but Orochimaru blocked it with a kunai.

But he didn't care at all, and immediately handed over a kunai in his left hand, forcing Orochimaru to continuously parry or dodge.

This guy's talent in physical combat is truly monstrous.

When he first enrolled, he was able to overpower a group of ninja academy students with his speed, leaving them completely helpless.

Now, after three years of continuous arduous training, I am completely transformed compared to before.

The difference in speed, power, and timing is like night and day, and they are incomparable.

With every movement, whether attacking or dodging, advancing or retreating, his figure would become a series of afterimages.

The repeated sword swings and physical clashes within a short period of time...

For a moment, Orochimaru appeared as if he were surrounded by flashing blades, looking incredibly terrifying.

In the distance, Gamabunta was also fighting Manda.

Even though they knew each other, they assessed the situation and realized it was just a friendly sparring match between teacher and student, and nothing serious was going on.

But its sheer size alone meant that every collision could cause the earth to shake and mountains to tremble, even carving out jagged trenches in the ground.

"Uehara-kun, the illusion is ineffective and cannot interfere."

Not far from the two, Mikoto tried casting an illusion spell, but when she found it useless, she continued to use throwing spells to interfere.

The scene, which was almost identical to the previous one, finally underwent a further change after five or six seconds.

Suddenly, the water gate burst out from behind.

With cheeks puffed out, hands remained in a mudra position.

After standing still, she opened her small mouth, and a new flame warhead swelled up in the wind and flew rapidly toward Orochimaru.

"Is it the same old routine again?"

"No, given this kid's intelligence, he would never use a tactic that's been seen through again, so this time it's actually... a trap???"

"Don't fall for their tricks."

Orochimaru was constantly watching the surroundings, so Minato's actions were naturally noticed immediately.

As he retreated from Uehara Shimei's retreat, he immediately freed his hand to deflect the projectile that Mikoto had thrown.

Then, unexpectedly, instead of taking the opportunity to dodge, it slapped the ground with its hand, raising a thick earthen wall.

The fireball collided with the earthen wall, instantly unleashing a terrifying heatwave that spread outwards.

The heatwave was accompanied by a massive amount of thick water vapor, completely obscuring the surrounding view.

It turned out that behind the water gate, Rope Tree was blocking the view, and another stream of water was added behind the fire bullet.

The white mist swept across the entire venue in the blink of an eye, like a storm.

Even if you use Wind Release to clear the area, there will still be at least a moment when you are out of sight.

Logically, Orochimaru should have quickly dodged to avoid being targeted, but he stood still and let the steam from the explosion completely engulf him.

Furthermore, he had a wicked smile on his lips.

"You've been seen through, Uehara-kun. How are you going to deal with this?"

As Orochimaru was thinking this, he suddenly heard several unusual voices in succession.

It hissed and hissed, as if something was breaking through the air and flying rapidly, and its target was its own location.

As a top-tier Jonin, he naturally recognized that this was an attack.

His snake-like eyes widened instantly.

"Fuck!"

"Oops!"

……

At this moment, on the periphery,

Uehara Shimei and Uchiha Mikoto, Nawaki and Namikaze Minato, four ninjutsu techniques, were used in pairs and hurled towards the center of the dense fog one after the other.

Fire Release: Great Fireball!

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

"Combined Ninja Art: Wind and Fire Blaze Burst!"

……

"Water Release: Water Fang Bullet!"

"Lightning Release: Lightning Torrent!"

"Combined Ninja Art: Lightning Water Fang Bullet!"

……

Yakushi Nonou couldn't coordinate with Hyuga Hizashi.

However, she also made good use of the previous Rope Tree technique, releasing a solid earthen wall on Orochimaru's side that was almost infused with most of the chakra.

This increases the power of their attacks and restricts Orochimaru's escape.

As the water guns carrying lightning and the flames amplified by the strong winds swept past...

A deafeningly terrifying explosion.

The ground around them shook instantly, as if it had suddenly jumped twice.

The shockwave alone instantly dispersed the thick fog, revealing the enormous crater below.

But immediately afterward, countless more pulverized particles were blasted open and blown into the sky, spreading outwards.

And for several seconds, it still hadn't fully landed.

"Cough cough..."

A moment later, Orochimaru emerged from a hastily constructed small hole at the bottom of the deep pit.

His entire body was covered in charred marks, and most of his hair was burned off.

When it opened its mouth, a plume of black smoke billowed out, making it look extremely disheveled.

Although you can't tell from the complexion, you can be sure that the bottom of the pot must have been blackened beneath the charred marks.

Beside it, there were four or five large snakes, each as thick as a water bucket, lying dead on the spot.

This time, it was truly a case of losing both wife and army.

Although the damage was not significant—Orochimaru, whose entire body was covered in chakra, did not suffer too much—the humiliation was indeed extremely strong.

Chapter 81: The Three Ninja's Earnest Teachings and Their Individual Gains

The bottom of a huge, desolate pit.

Orochimaru used his hands to pry open the soil and emerged from a small hole he had drilled using chakra.

He reached up and wiped his face, removing the charred marks that covered his features.

Then, with a complicated expression, he looked at Uehara Siming and the others, his gaze somewhat blank.

The three classic questions about life came to mind.

who am I?
