The thousands of Naruto Uzumaki's shadow clones left the two teams utterly despairing, as they didn't believe the six of them could escape from being surrounded by thousands...
Team 7 obtained three scrolls.
However, those teams didn't have the information Uchiha Sasuke wanted.
After all, the entire Forest of Death exam had just started, and these people hadn't even had time to explore it before coincidentally encountering each other, so they naturally couldn't have gathered much intelligence.
"We've got the Heaven and Earth Scrolls..."
Naruto Uzumaki held the three scrolls with some happiness.
At least, they were sure to pass the second round of the Chunin exams this time.
"Let's head to the tower to complete the exam..."
Haruno Sakura tugged at her collar, nervously asking her two companions.
"No rush yet..."
Just as Uchiha Sasuke finished speaking, he sensed an approaching evil Chakra and immediately gestured for his two companions to leave: "Sakura, Naruto, you two stay back, someone is coming!"
"Ah? Who is it?"
Naruto Uzumaki was still a bit excited!
Since he and Sasuke had worked together to defeat three teams, his confidence was sky-high, and he couldn't possibly feel fear or want to back off!
"It's not someone you can handle..."
Uchiha Sasuke gestured for them to hide, saying in a deep voice: "The teams in this area should have been taken down by us. You two are safe hiding nearby. I'll come over immediately after dealing with that guy..."
"I'll go with you..."
Naruto Uzumaki hadn't even had time to speak.
"Truly impressive..."
A cold voice appeared around them, accompanied by a strong killing intent that made the temperature around them seem to drop!
"..."
Naruto Uzumaki and Haruno Sakura were so scared they stepped back, trembling as they looked at the tall and thin figure emerging from the forest!
It was a Genin wearing a conical hat!
When the hat was lifted, it revealed a sinister smile, appraising the three little ones from Team 7, and a tongue unconsciously peeked out from the corner of the mouth.
It was Orochimaru.
Even Orochimaru hadn't expected Team 7 to be so audacious, directly engaging in a Chakra battle as soon as the Forest of Death exam started, allowing him to immediately sense the situation here.
"Uchiha Sasuke..."
"Nine-tailed Jinchuriki Naruto Uzumaki..."
"Didn't expect you brats to run so fast..."
"You should go first."
Uchiha Sasuke waved his hand, signaling for his two companions to leave. He showed no fear of the opponent's killing intent, stepping forward boldly: "Naruto, Sakura, this guy is not someone you can face..."
"Sasuke!"
"Sasuke-kun!"
Naruto Uzumaki and Haruno Sakura were still a bit worried.
"Go."
Uchiha Sasuke slightly turned his head, not wanting his two companions to hear some things here, his voice turning icy: "Stay back, as far back as possible..."
After speaking, Uchiha Sasuke felt it was a bit too serious, so his voice turned warm again: "Don't worry, this guy isn't my match yet. He's the same type as that Momochi Zabuza we encountered. I can take him out with just a glance. I just want to use him to test my strength..."
"Just a glance..."
A trace of displeasure flashed in Orochimaru's eyes, as if he remembered something displeasing, and his smile became even more sinister.
"Heh heh..."
"Just as expected of Itachi-kun's little brother..."
"However..."
With a smile still on his face, Orochimaru slowly formed hand seals: "If you want your companions to leave my grasp, at least show me you have the ability to stop me first, Sasuke..."
Zzz!
A string of electrical sparks flickered!
Uchiha Sasuke's body suddenly erupted with a Chakra as solid as reality!
"Instant Body Jutsu! So fast!"
Orochimaru was startled, realizing one thing in his heart: "Kabuto's information is accurate. This brat actually mastered the Raikage Nin-Tai Secret Technique of The Hidden Cloud Village..."
By the time Orochimaru understood, Uchiha Sasuke had already rushed in front of him, raising a ninja sword aimed at Orochimaru's neck!
"This brat..."
Orochimaru could even feel the chill on the blade!
Though it was because he underestimated this Uchiha Sasuke kid and didn't dodge, the speed and kenjutsu of this brat still surprised him...
"Hmph..."
Uchiha Sasuke's eyes showed a hint of disdain, as if he didn't take Orochimaru seriously at all: "Your hand seals are so slow in front of me, isn't that underestimating me a bit too much, Orochimaru..."
