Chapter 204 Naruto and Sasuke are defeated again, Ishikawa reports for duty.
"Damn it, what did you snake demon do to Sasuke? Hand over the antidote!!" Seeing Sasuke, who was drenched in sweat and half-conscious, Naruto's eyes widened in fury as he roared.
With a whoosh, the shadow clones from all sides swarmed forward and launched a pincer attack...
"This doesn't seem like poisoning? Naruto, don't panic, I have a way." Seeing that Naruto was about to rush up and fight the other party, Karin quickly stopped him and put her palm to Sasuke's mouth.
Her opponent possessed Hokage-level strength, and she had no intention of actually fighting him. If she could help Sasuke recover while he wasn't paying attention, they would have a good chance to escape safely.
[Damn it, I wasn't planning on letting anyone other than Ishikawa bite me, but you got off easy this time!] Karin sighed with a look of disgust and helplessness as she looked at Sasuke, who was clenching his fist.
Although she was very reluctant, she couldn't afford to lose Sasuke, her strongest fighter, under these circumstances.
"Ugh...uh..." Almost at the same time as Karin frowned, Sasuke's chakra, which had been corrupted by the cursed seal, rapidly recovered. In the blink of an eye, he regained his will and forcibly suppressed the cursed seal.
"As expected, is this Karin's power?" On the other side, Orochimaru, who had just dealt with Naruto's shadow clone, saw this and his eyes flashed with greed again. He immediately changed his mind about retreating and decided to kidnap Karin.
Karin's abilities may play an unexpected role in this Konoha Crush plan!
Orochimaru glanced at Sasuke, who had regained his strength and stood up, glaring angrily. He gave a wicked smile and once again formed a hand seal. "Hah!!"
Just as Sasuke was about to make his move, he suddenly felt his body go limp and he knelt on the ground again. Black cursed marks erupted from his neck and spread across half of his body, and his chakra also became disordered and he could not mobilize it at the same time...
"Damn it! What is this thing?" Sasuke growled in frustration, his eyes bloodshot, but his physical weakness forced him to face reality.
The instant he fell, Orochimaru moved with lightning speed, appearing before Karin in the blink of an eye. "Come with me. Your abilities can only be truly effective when you're with me!"
"Put down Karin." "Don't even think about succeeding!"
Upon seeing this, Taro and Jiro roared simultaneously, each drawing their swords and unleashing their full power to slash from the left and right.
While they were fast, their explosive attacks could pose a threat even to special Jonin. Unfortunately for them, their opponent was Orochimaru, who was at the peak of his power in the early stages of the game.
"Hmph!!" Orochimaru glared coldly with sharp eyes, and the two of them froze on the spot as if they had seen hell, their hands and legs trembling involuntarily, their faces filled with fear.
In a single exchange, Orochimaru swept Karin away as if she were in an empty room...
"Die, you monster!" Just as Orochimaru had walked less than ten meters, a figure suddenly sprang out of the bushes, wielding a kunai and stabbing at him.
Orochimaru didn't even bother to glance at it, and simply slapped the person away...
"Sakura!!" Naruto, who had just settled Sasuke behind him, suddenly widened his eyes upon seeing the unconscious goddess and Karin who had been kidnapped. He lost control of his emotions, and crimson chakra surged around him, causing his aura to change drastically.
"This evil chakra, could Naruto also be..." Karin, who had been captured, immediately sensed Naruto's change, her pupils suddenly contracted and her face turned deathly pale.
In her perception, the second type of chakra within Naruto was far more evil and terrifying than Gaara's before, or Orochimaru's now!
So, in this situation, is Naruto also a Jinchūriki?
"You snake demon who injured Sakura and Sasuke, I will absolutely not let you capture Karin and escape so easily! Boom..."
While Karin was in shock, Naruto, his eyes bloodshot, transformed into a cannonball and appeared in front of Orochimaru in the blink of an eye, throwing a punch.
"So fast! I see, this brat is the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki..." Caught off guard, Orochimaru was knocked back by a punch and suddenly realized.
[The Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki!!] Karin's pupils shrank upon hearing this, thinking to herself that Naruto was indeed no ordinary genin.
That terrifying and evil chakra was none other than the Nine-Tailed Fox, the legendary creature that nearly destroyed Konoha!
"Could it be that you triggered the seal and leaked the Nine-Tails' chakra in a fit of emotion? Heh, but that's not enough." Orochimaru looked at Naruto charging again and sneered. As he spoke, his tongue shot out like a whip, accurately binding Naruto around the waist and pulling him to his side.
"Then, you nine-tailed brat, I'll help you reinforce the seal." Orochimaru lifted Naruto's clothes to reveal the manifested sealing technique, his eyes cold and sharp as he ignited the five elemental chakra in one hand.
"Five Elements Seal!!"
Orochimaru suddenly slapped Naruto's abdomen with one hand, and a new sealing technique appeared on the outer edge of the Eight Trigrams Seal to isolate the Nine-Tails' chakra.
Naruto only had time to let out a scream before Orochimaru threw him away like a rag doll...
"That's it! Karin, if you don't want them to die now, you'd better not resist." Orochimaru slowly turned his head, his deep snake eyes fixed on Karin as he spoke calmly.
Karin's face fell upon hearing this, and she could only nod in agreement as she looked at the miserable crowd. In this situation, even if Ishikawa-kun came, the outcome would be the same.
Damn it, she hasn't even had a chance to confess yet!!
"call out……"
Just as Karin resigned herself to her bad luck and Orochimaru nodded in satisfaction and was about to leave, a dazzling white-blue light flashed into Orochimaru's body with lightning speed, so fast that even Orochimaru was caught off guard.
"This is... the Spirit Transformation Technique!!" In the next instant, Orochimaru's expression changed slightly as he looked at the boy's spirit in his sea of consciousness.
As one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, he was all too familiar with this S-rank forbidden soul technique! Tsunade's former lover, Dan Kato, made his name in World War II by relying on this technique.
Naturally, Orochimaru, who aspired to learn all forbidden techniques, was well aware of the power and weakness of this technique. Other Kage-level ninjas wouldn't have anything to worry about when facing such a forbidden technique.
But he was different; having undergone rebirth, his soul was not perfect. At the very least, this body constantly rejected him, making him extremely vulnerable to attacks on the soul!
"Release Karin, or you won't be able to leave the Forest of Death." Ishikawa's spirit stared at Orochimaru's grim face with a cold and resolute gaze.
Honestly, if he could, he really wouldn't want to fight Orochimaru and expose himself!
Therefore, even though Orochimaru successfully implanted the Heavenly Curse Seal into Sasuke, Ishikawa didn't intervene. After all, it was just another form of Sage Mode, and it wouldn't harm Sasuke anyway.
Orochimaru's attempt to kidnap Karin is going too far! If she's taken away by a research monster like Orochimaru, Karin's future is pretty much sealed...
Ishikawa would never allow such a thing.
Even if it means taking a risk, he has to do it! Some things are necessary even if they are risky; this is Ishikawa's bottom line.
