Naruto: Boruto Returns to Shippuden

Chapter 39 Cursed Seal

"Why aren't you guys saying anything?" Naruto looked at Boruto's expression, which didn't seem like he was joking, and then looked at Sasuke, who was also silent and had his hand in his ninja tool pouch.

Naruto's eyes widened in disbelief. He shouted at Sasuke, "You're not really going to hand over the scroll, are you?! Coward Sasuke!"

When Naruto finished speaking, his gaze towards Sasuke turned cold, as if he were looking at a complete stranger, and even his tone was icy.

"How could this be! You big idiot!" Sasuke couldn't stand Naruto's contempt any longer. His hand, which had been reaching for the scroll, instead pulled out a kunai and gripped it tightly. "Boruto! Naruto! We're going in! This guy is really troublesome!"

As Sasuke spoke, his eyes suddenly changed, and his pupils gradually transformed into the two-tomoe pattern unique to the Sharingan.

"That's more like it, Sasuke!" Upon hearing Sasuke's words, Naruto's expression instantly changed from indifference to a smile.

Boruto immediately prepared for battle, forming hand seals and quickly summoning several shadow clones.

These shadow clones were neatly arranged behind Boruto, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

At this moment, Boruto's right eye also changed; the eyeball turned light blue, but the conjunctiva remained black.

"Oh?" Orochimaru couldn't help but find this scene interesting: Byakugan? No, not Byakugan, a new dojutsu? Interesting.

Naruto and Sasuke exchanged a glance, and as if by telepathy, they charged toward the enemy simultaneously.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Naruto formed hand seals and unleashed the Shadow Clone Technique. In the blink of an eye, numerous clones identical to Naruto appeared. These clones, along with Naruto, surged towards Orochimaru like a tidal wave and launched a fierce attack.

Sasuke, on the other hand, used his Sharingan to carefully observe the enemy's every move, trying to find their weakness and seize the opportunity to launch a ninjutsu.

However, Orochimaru's strength was simply too great, and he easily withstood the attacks of Naruto's clones.

However, Sasuke's Sharingan was not to be underestimated. He quickly discovered Orochimaru's weakness and immediately used Fire Release: Fire Release technique. A raging sea of ​​fire swept towards Orochimaru with overwhelming force.

"Alright! We can't fall behind!" Seeing this, Boruto, who was standing to the side, shouted to the many clones around him, preparing to unleash Boruto's Stream.

After saying that, Boruto began to act. He first used his shadow clones to unleash Wind Release: Gale Palm, using the power of the clones to propel his main body forward.

In mid-air, Boruto, who had been propelled forward, once again used Wind Release: Gale Palm to further increase his speed.

At the same time, Boruto added Lightning Release during the push, and his whole body rushed into the raging fire like lightning, hitting Orochimaru.

As time passed, the fire gradually subsided, leaving only Orochimaru lying motionless on the ground.

Boruto stared intently at Orochimaru, his eyes wide, and asked in a deep voice, "Did it work?"

Time passed second by second, but Orochimaru remained completely unresponsive.

Boruto finally couldn't contain his curiosity and cautiously stepped forward to check the situation, tentatively reaching out to gently touch Orochimaru.

Just then, a sudden change occurred. Orochimaru leaped up, grabbed Boruto's arms tightly with both hands, and then bit down hard on his neck!

"Ah!" Boruto was caught off guard, and the intense pain made him scream involuntarily.

"Boruto!" Sakura exclaimed in surprise upon witnessing this scene.

"Damn it!" Sasuke was frantic. He rushed to Orochimaru's side, knocked Orochimaru away, and successfully rescued Boruto.

"Ouch!" Boruto, now free, clutched his bite wound in pain, his face contorted, gasping for breath.

Worse still, an unusual change suddenly appeared on Boruto's neck, and a strange cursed seal gradually emerged.

Naruto glared at Orochimaru and demanded, "What exactly did you do to Boruto?!"

Orochimaru slowly got up from the ground, a sinister smile on his face, and said smugly, "Hmph, he wasn't originally my target, but he might become a good backup resource."

Naruto roared angrily at Orochimaru, "What did you say?!"

The next second, Orochimaru was surprised to find that the cursed seal power on Boruto was gradually dissipating, as if it had been transformed and devoured by some kind of power.

Orochimaru couldn't help but exclaim, "This kid is indeed a bit strange. Things are getting more and more interesting. Even the cursed seal has no effect on him."

Boruto staggered to his feet, the discomfort from before instantly vanishing. His eyes widened in anger as he exclaimed, "You wretched creature! How dare you bite me!"

Boruto clenched his fists, and chakra began to gather continuously within his body.

Orochimaru saw through Boruto's ninjutsu at a glance, a slight smile playing on his lips as he chuckled, "Oh? Isn't this just the Fourth Hokage's little trick?"

However, when Orochimaru saw Boruto's Rasengan suddenly disappear in mid-air, he quipped, "Looks like you haven't quite mastered your skills yet."

Orochimaru felt a sense of foreboding and quickly dodged to the side, relying on his keen intuition, but he was too late and a deep wound was slashed across his cheek.

At the same time, a large tree behind them fell down, leaving a huge hole in its trunk.

“I see…” A hint of appreciation flashed in Orochimaru’s eyes, but it vanished in an instant, replaced by endless indifference and cruelty: “However, this is only the beginning!”

Orochimaru then revealed the ninjutsu he had written on his arm beforehand. He bit his finger, drew a line on his arm, and chanted, "Summoning Jutsu!"

A giant python appeared out of nowhere, and Orochimaru stood on its head.

......

Outside the Forest of Death, the examiners discovered three Kusagakure ninjas who had been killed by Orochimaru.

"Three corpses?"

"What kind of ninjutsu is this? It's really cruel. Seriously, something bad happened in no time."

"Go quickly and tell Red Bean, the examiner for the second exam."

"Yes!"

When Mitarashi Anko arrived at the scene, she immediately recognized that the corpses with their faces dissolved were created by Orochimaru.

They've probably already infiltrated the Forest of Death by now.

Mitarashi Anko instructed the group, "Quickly inform the Hokage about this and immediately request two Anbu units to go to the Forest of Death. I'm going to chase after these guys now, understand?"
