Naruto Law of the Devil

Chapter 175: Fierce Battle With Orochimaru

"This... What is this?!"

Facing the overwhelming tide of snakes flooding the entire forest before them, Haku and Kimimaro behind Yu couldn't help but gasp in shock. These two children had never seen such a terrifying scene before.

'Such attack truly live up to the legend of the Three Sannin...

Much more troublesome than Yagura, the Jinchuriki of the Three-Tails...'

Watching the snake tide surging like a giant wave before him, Yu couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Although in the anime, Orochimaru had a dark history of being easily defeated by Uchiha Itachi's Sharingan Genjutsu and having his arm severed, which led many to underestimate his strength.

But as the strongest early-game boss in the Naruto series, Orochimaru was praised by the Third Hokage as "a talented ninja, a genius appearing once in decades if not centuries" during his youth. His achievements in Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, and even in research fields, were among the best in the ninja world.

After all, Orochimaru mastered many Forbidden Jutsu. Though other factors were at play, the deaths of the Fourth Kazekage and the Third Hokage by his hands in the anime served as the best proof of Orochimaru's strength.

"Creating such a big disturbance right from the start..."

"Then I won't hold back either..."

As countless rampaging snakes were about to engulf Yu, Kimimaro, and Haku, at that moment, Yu stood still without moving, and behind him, the calm air suddenly opened a circular gate.

'That is... Space-Time Ninjutsu?!'

Noticing the instant opening of the air gate behind Yu and the mysterious ink-green space revealed inside, Orochimaru, who unleashed the rampage of snakes, couldn't help but be startled.

"Ice Burst: Extreme Ice Kill!!"

But the next second, the temperature around Kimimaro and Haku plummeted suddenly. Before their eyes, Toshogun, transformed into the Devil of Ice, had already burst out from the alternate space opened by Kaio.

The power of the Ice Fruit ability and the strength of the Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai erupted wildly. In the blink of an eye, countless enormous ice spikes condensed in the air, thrown into the oncoming rampage of snakes, triggering intense freezing and explosions.

Countless snakes, spitting out blades from their mouths, instantly turned into ice sculptures or were blasted into ashes. The Logia-type Devil Puppet was undoubtedly the best choice for clearing the field.

"So... impressive..."

Seeing this incredibly spectacular scene, Haku and Kimimaro, who had never experienced battles with strong opponents before, stood behind Yu, dumbfounded, mouths agape. This had a tremendous impact on their visual senses.

'This guy...

He actually hid his puppet with a Space-Time Jutsu...'

Seeing Yu summon his Devil Puppet instantaneously from the Space-Time dimension and feeling the overwhelmingly powerful combat capability of Toshogun, Orochimaru couldn't help but narrow his eyes, internally wary.

"Engage with me..."

"Your focus must not only be on what's right in front of you!"

Among the countless snake corpses turned into ice sculptures or ashes, sensing Orochimaru's peculiar gaze not far away, Yu simply chuckled lightly, hands inserted into his pockets, standing still as if he didn't need to engage in combat at all.

This feeling... isn't good!!

Sensing the playful smirk at the corner of Yu's mouth, Orochimaru, who was internally wary, suddenly felt a strong sense of danger.
