"No, I'm leaving now..."

Chiyu really wanted to say that, to give the confident Orochimaru a surprise attack, since she had no intention of stopping Sasuke anyway.

Unfortunately, she couldn't do that.

Because I don't want to hinder Sasuke ≠ I won't participate in the Sasuke chase storyline.

She just slunk away like that, and the battle to catch up with Sasuke ended on the spot. So what else could she use to earn impression points?

Moreover, she really wanted to beat Orochimaru up.

Thinking this, Chiyu stepped forward and said to the others, "I'll take care of Orochimaru. You guys continue chasing Sasuke!"

"Huh?!" Everyone was shocked to hear Qianyu's words.

Shikamaru couldn't help but ask, "You're here to stop Orochimaru? Senba, are you serious?"

"Although I know you are strong, the opponent is a powerful figure who killed the Third Hokage!"

"Yes!" Recalling the deceased Third Hokage, everyone showed expressions of agreement.

It's perfectly normal that they don't have much confidence in Chiyu.

During the last Chunin Exams, they only watched the first half of the match between Chiba and Gaara. When it came to the second half against Maki, they were all chasing after Gaara with Sasuke.

"It's alright!" Qianyu said confidently, "It's just a matter of holding him off, it's not difficult. Besides, haven't you noticed that his aura is far weaker than last time!"

Chiba stared intently at the bandages on Orochimaru's body: "If I'm not mistaken, although you defeated the Third Hokage, you also paid a heavy price!"

"As perceptive as ever, Chiba!" Orochimaru remarked, acknowledging Chiba's assessment.

"Is that so!" The new situation made Shikamaru's eyes light up.

For someone with his intellectual talent, what he fears most is a situation where strength completely overwhelms intelligence, rendering his wisdom useless.

But since we can barely manage to hold our own, we have nothing to fear.

"Kiba, Neji, you two will go first later..."

Shikamaru immediately began to arrange the breakout formation.

Seeing that these people were ignoring him, Orochimaru became slightly displeased and released a massive amount of chakra, which pressed down on everyone like a giant mountain.

"Well……"

Under Orochimaru's overwhelming aura, everyone's faces turned deathly pale.

"What a terrifying aura! It's just like when I was six years old, playing in the deer forest, and a tiger suddenly barged in!"

Shikamaru gritted his teeth in astonishment: "This is... the peerless villain who killed the Third Hokage?!"

“Yes, even the head of the family doesn’t feel this kind of pressure!” Neji nodded in agreement, his face stiff.

However, both of them are able to speak and are doing well.

Beside him, Akamaru, who was naturally acutely aware of danger, had already shrunk into Kiba's collar.

Trying to soothe Akamaru, whose trembling was more intense than ever before, Kiba revealed a horrified expression: "Can we really escape from someone like this?"

After Orochimaru unleashed his aura, Sasuke's confidence in catching up with the team underwent a complete reversal.

The film-level intimidation was on full display at this moment.

Just when everyone in the team was losing confidence, Qianyu made a move!

Chiba was extremely displeased to be overwhelmed by the power of Orochimaru once again.

"One or two of them, always trying to intimidate others with their aura. So what if they killed a few more people? What are they pretending for?"

A swift and sharp white light, like a rainbow piercing the sun, instantly arrived on Orochimaru's face!

"when!"

The longsword, emitting a white light, clashed heavily with the Kusanagi sword, producing a crisp sound.

Seeing the light on the Thousand Feather Sword that he hadn't seen in many years but remembered vividly, Orochimaru's snake eyes narrowed as he held the Kusanagi Sword in his mouth: "This is... White Fang's technique!"

"I didn't expect you to not only learn his swordsmanship on the surface, but also his inner techniques!"

"Not bad, you have a good eye!" Qianyu revealed a playful smile: "But since you know this is White Fang's technique, you still dare to treat me like this?"

"Not good!" Hearing Chiyu's words, Orochimaru frowned, and his head, with the Kusanagi sword in his mouth, rose rapidly as if riding a rocket.

Even though he reacted quickly, a sharp white light still pierced through his neck.

Then, with a flick of her wrist, the high-energy particle stream, restrained by chakra, easily tore Orochimaru's neck apart, turning his flying head into a rootless duckweed.

"They killed him already?!"

Seeing Orochimaru's head take off in the blink of an eye, the rest of Sasuke's team were filled with questions.

After all, this is Orochimaru, the infamous villain who brazenly attacked Konoha and killed the Third Hokage!

Meanwhile, everyone in the live stream who witnessed this scene was also puzzled.

"Orochimaru is dead? When did Senba become so strong?"

"Indeed... but it's not surprising, anyway, I feel like Chiba has been getting stronger inexplicably all along."

Because Orochimaru's head fell off so easily, the viewers in the live stream seemed to have a glimmer of hope for exploring the growth of Senba's strength.

Fortunately, Orochimaru opened his mouth in mid-air, and a brand new Orochimaru crawled out from it. The wonder of the Orochimaru Substitution Technique quickly captured the audience's attention.

"What is that?!"

Everyone was shocked by the Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique, which allowed the user to survive even with only one head remaining.

Only Qianyu, not entirely surprised, retorted sarcastically, "I didn't expect you to be not only a snake that can shed its scales, but also a cockroach that can survive even if it turns its head off!"

"Hehe, in nature, when it comes to the continuation of a species, cockroaches are far more powerful than snakes!"

Orochimaru wasn't angry at all. Instead, he excitedly stuck out his long tongue and licked his lips: "But you, Chiba, you've gotten stronger again!"

"The last time I saw you, you were just a decent junior, but this time, you've become a threat to me!"

"I'm really curious to see how many more surprises you can bring me!"

"Be curious all you want!" Chiyu gripped the chakra metal longsword she took from her left bracelet, assuming a clear charging stance. "Don't blame me for not warning you, curiosity killed the cat!"

As she spoke, a less frightening aura, lacking the murderous intent, still emanated from Qian Yu's alluring body.

The two forces collided in the air, creating a sense of impending storm.

Watching the two standoff, Sasuke and the rest of the team held their breath, afraid to speak, lest they disturb the earth-shattering clash between Chiba and Orochimaru that was about to take place.

However, just when they thought Qianyu was about to unleash a powerful attack.

Qianyu turned to them and said, "What are you standing there for? Keep chasing!"

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned, caught off guard.

Fortunately, Shikamaru reacted quickly.

"go!"

At his command, he rushed forward first, followed by Choji.

Once you have one, and then two, naturally you'll have three and four.

Driven by the herd mentality, the members of Sasuke's pursuit team bypassed Chiba and Orochimaru and continued their chase.

"Don't even think about leaving!"

Seeing everyone leave, Kabuto frowned and wanted to step forward to stop them.

But the moment he moved, an unstoppable light gun came from the side, almost grazing Yakushi Kabuto's nose as it shot into the forest.

"Rumble, rumble—"

The light gun went out of control and exploded, snapping and collapsing countless trees, creating an astonishing commotion.

Seeing this scene, a bead of cold sweat slid down the pharmacist's forehead.

He turned to look at Chiba, who was still in the throwing posture.

Qianyu smiled slightly: "Sorry, this road is blocked!"

"You actually think you can stop both me and Lord Orochimaru by yourself?"

Qianyu's attitude made the pharmacist frown: "How...arrogant!"

He turned to look at Orochimaru.

At this moment, Orochimaru's bandaged face also showed obvious displeasure in the face of Chiba's posture.

He said in his usual hoarse voice, "Du, let's go!"

"Yes!"

Yakushi Kabuto turned and left, and Chiba gave chase with his sword.

The sharp sword light pointed directly at Kabuto Yakushi's back, which had already been slashed once.

Feeling the sharp edge on his back, Kabuto Yakushi felt the phantom pain from the previous attack coming back from his wound.

He desperately wanted to turn around and fight back. Even if he couldn't win, it would be better than the current feeling of anxiety and fear, not knowing when he would be slashed.

However, out of trust in Orochimaru, Kabuto gritted his teeth and refused to turn back.

Orochimaru lived up to his trust.

Orochimaru lowered his body, his upper body still resembling a human, but his lower body had transformed into a snake's body.

Orochimaru moved in a zigzag pattern, and although his speed was still not as fast as Chiba's using Swift Release, at least he wasn't left completely out of sight.

Then, as the snake continued to twist and move forward, Orochimaru bit his finger and slammed his palm heavily onto the ground.

"The evil serpent meanders!"

"Oh!"

A giant purple snake, over ten meters long, burst from the ground between Yakushi Kabuto and Chiba, its triangular head slamming heavily into the pursuing Chiba!

"Summoning magic, it can summon from this far away?!" Qianyu was very surprised to see the snake that suddenly appeared.

Should she say, "No wonder he's a contractor of the three holy lands? He can even make a name for himself with spirit communication techniques."

But that alone won't stop her!

"First Form - Modified Slash Dance!"

Qianyu spun around, transforming into a storm of sword blades, and crashed directly into the giant snake in front of her.

Originally, Chiyu's Slash Dance was just an ordinary sword blade, so its range was very narrow.

But now she has a longsword made of chakra metal, and chakra metal can be used to generate chakra. If she wants, Qianyu's sword light can be extended to a length of five or six meters or even longer.

With such length, and the sharpness of the Thousand Feather Swift Escape Light Sword, the giant snake summoned by Orochimaru was cut into pieces in an instant, turning into huge fragments that fell down!

But Orochimaru never imagined that a snake, which was meant to be a consumable, could stop Chiba.

Orochimaru pointed his sword at the fragments of the giant snake in front of him: "Explode!"

"Boom—"

The giant snake exploded into pieces, and countless fragments of flesh and bone shot out like bullets, leaving trees and grass in ruins with debris flying everywhere.

However, Orochimaru's snake explosion doesn't stop there!

From the center of the giant snake's explosion, a deep purple poisonous mist spread out.

Everything that came into contact with the purple poisonous mist was instantly turned into a bucket of concentrated sulfuric acid, just like being thrown into a bucket of concentrated sulfuric acid!

Seeing this, Qianyu was forced to stop.

Her Wind-Controlling Sword Technique creates a layer of wind around her body, effectively isolating her from the outside world.

However, if she were to accidentally come into contact with such poisonous fog, she might immediately lose her fighting ability, so it's best to be cautious.

Although her steps were temporarily blocked by the poisonous fog, who said that the poisonous fog could only block her?

"Wind Release: Typhoon Passes!"

Chiba formed a short Wind Release hand seal.

A hurricane suddenly appeared out of nowhere in Orochimaru's twitching eye.

Then, within that short distance, the hurricane displayed the force of a typhoon, tearing apart the poisonous fog in front of Chiyu in an instant, with the remaining parts all rushing towards Kabuto Yakushi.

"not good!"

Upon sensing the poisonous fog approaching from behind, Kabuto's expression changed drastically.

Although his medical ninjutsu was excellent, he also had a lot of contact with Orochimaru and had a deep understanding of Orochimaru's snake venom.

However, he really didn't dare to take Orochimaru's poison mist head-on when he used it to deal with opponents of the same level.

With no other option, Kabuto could only run behind a big tree to hide.

But just as he stopped, Qianyu started moving again.

At her speed, she could catch up with Kabuto Yakushi in just a few breaths.

"Lord Orochimaru!" Kabuto Yakushi cried out for help, sensing a life-or-death crisis.

"Shut up, I know!"

Orochimaru's face was ashen beneath his bandages, for he hadn't expected that the Wind Release technique he had casually given to Chiba would now become a bargaining chip Chiba was using against him.

If we consider wind-style techniques, when has he ever lost to anyone?

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

A wind-style technique from Danzo was unleashed from Orochimaru's mouth, and several sharp, high-speed auras chased after Chiba.

Along the way, trees that required two people to encircle were easily cleaved like firewood in the face of such wind magic.

Such power forced Qianyu, who was traveling at high speed, to turn back and deal with it.

Her solution was also very simple.

"Wind Barrier!"

The longsword slashed through the air, creating a white line from which a thick wall of wind rose, meeting Orochimaru's Vacuum Wave.

In the ninja world, most wind-related transformations are sharp, so a master of Wind Release can cut through anything with their wind.

But how do we sever the equally invisible wind?

Orochimaru's Vacuum Wave and Chiba's Wind Barrier clashed and neutralized each other.

Seeing that Orochimaru's Wind Release had been neutralized, Chiba turned around and was about to continue chasing after Kabuto.

However, she didn't know that Orochimaru's Vacuum Wave was not the end, but the beginning.

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"

"Wind Escape·Vacuum Jade!"

The wind-escape techniques, as powerful as cannons, came one after another, and the wind barrier that had just remained was blasted away in an instant!

At the same time, the pressure burst into a primordial gale after shattering the wind barrier.

Behind the pressure, Vacuum Big Jade, nicknamed Sexy Sun Bro, was hit by this gust of wind and accelerated as if he had stepped on Jess's acceleration gate, instantly arriving at Qian Yu's face!

Such a meticulously designed variation would have caught an ordinary person, or even someone like Chiyu in the past, off guard and left them feeling cheated.

Unfortunately, Chiyu is no longer the Chiyu of the past.

Ample chakra flowed into his eyes.

"Open!" Qianyu shouted softly, activating her unique Sharingan, and taking in the entire trajectory of the Vacuum Great Jade.

At the same time, Qianyu also keenly observed the weak points of the Vacuum Jade after its accelerated burst of pressure damage.

Thus, to Orochimaru's astonishment, facing the Vacuum Giant Jewel, Senba actually advanced instead of retreating.

Then, without her doing anything, she simply slashed with her longsword, unleashing a burst of sword wind that transformed the menacing Vacuum Jade into a chaotic and disorderly storm!
