The next day, according to the location and time told by Kakashi, Ryoha and the others arrived early at the Forest of Death. It was already full of students. When Anko saw the number of students who had arrived, she started explaining everything about the Forest of Death.
"Orochimaru, you're finally here?" In Forest of Death, Ryoha looked at the tall man who stood in front of him with an umbrella, who always gave off a deadly cold feeling.
Facing Orochimaru, even if he knew that Orochimaru wouldn't kill him, Ryoha still had to use his full strength to fight him. He wanted to use the pressure that Orochimaru brought him, and let himself be baptized in the battle against the Kage-level threat, allowing his Sharingan to evolve again.
"This should be the scroll you want because you have the Scroll of Heaven in your hands. Alright, let's put away the Scrolls for now. Just use your lives to fight for it." Orochimaru dug out his eyes, revealing his cold and emotionless snake eyes.
"Killing Blade!" Orochimaru said in his heart. All of a sudden, other than Naruto, who was not here, everyone present, including Ryoha, felt strong killing intent around. At the same time, Ryoha only felt that he had died a horrible death in front of him. His body trembled involuntarily, and a trace of fear flashed through his eyes.
"It's a genjutsu formed by the killing intent. It made me see my own death, but it's useless to me." This trace of fear disappeared in a flash, but after it disappeared, it was replaced by clarity. Chakra was emitted from his body, and his Sharingan rotated once, breaking the illusion.
"Oh? It seems that the intel was accurate. Konoha really has a great genius. He is so outstanding at such a young age. If he had been born in the war era, he would have been a great existence. But is it true that you can learn any ninjutsu and taijutsu at a glance?"
Orochimaru, who initially was only interested in Sasuke, was very interested in the person who broke free from the genjutsu in such a short time and could not help but give it a try.
"Your strength is not bad. You can actually break my genjutsu." Orochimaru habitually licked his lips. As he spoke, he bit his finger and drew a line on his arm. A thick snake had already appeared out of thin air.
"Let me see what kind of ability you have." With a command from Orochimaru, the snake under his feet which seemed to have a tacit understanding with him roared with its thick and long body, and with an astonishing speed, bit towards Ryoha.
"In front of dragons, powerful snakes can only lower their heads. Fire Release - Dragon Fire!" Ryoha retreated while his hands turned into afterimages like lightning. Such astonishing speed made Orochimaru once again look at Ryoha in a new light.
The flames that were like the high-temperature dragon's breath suddenly burned the giant snake. This move was a B-rank Fire Release Jutsu, and it could instantly evaporate a whole pond of water. Especially after Ryoha added the fire nature transformation into it, the power was even greater. This caught Orochimaru a little off guard, and he could only dodge and watch the giant snake being burned to ashes.
"Nature Transformation, eh. A little brat like you could actually use the nature transformation of chakra. It seems that the fact that you can learn Chidori just by watching it is true. I will force your strength out."
Orochimaru also knew that Ryoha had learned Chidori all of a sudden, but he did not believe it. After all, it was too absurd. However, now that he saw Ryoha's performance, he wanted to see if it was true. He felt that it was getting more and more interesting. Maybe there would be an unexpected harvest this time.
"Summoning Jutsu!" Orochimaru once again summoned two giant snakes, but this time, he did not attack Ryoha. Instead, he attacked Sasuke, who was struggling out of pain, and Sakura, who was still in fear.
"Damn, being with these guys is really a burden." A trace of anger flashed through Ryoha's eyes. Just as he was about to go and save them, a figure flashed past quickly. His eyes had already turned into the eyes of a demon fox, and he blocked the two giant snakes. However, the impact of the two giant snakes still made him spit out blood.
"What are you doing, Sasuke? Are you afraid? You are not the Sasuke I know. You are really a coward." Naruto panted heavily. It was obvious that he was not feeling well after blocking the two giant snakes.
"Is this really Naruto?" Sasuke had originally planned to let Ryoha hand over the Scroll of Heaven so that he would not have to face this demon, but he had not expected to be laughed at by Naruto by using the words he used to mock him.
"Oh? Kyubi's Chakra? So he should be the Nine-tailed kid, hehe, interesting." Orochimaru did not want Kyubi's power to hinder his plan, so he shot out his tongue and rolled Naruto up.
"Even the seal is exposed? Hmph, Five Elements Seal!." Five characters burning with Chakra appeared on the fingers of Orochimaru. They were: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. He then pressed them onto Naruto's stomach, causing him to scream in pain. After that, he fell to the ground and fainted.
"Hey, your opponent is me, Lightning Release - Chidori!." Ryoha's Sharingan stared at Orochimaru and suddenly rotated. His whole body launched off like a sharp sword, and the Chidori in his hand directly hit Orochimaru's back.
"He actually learned Chidori? Could it be that the rumors are true?" Orochimaru actually had a small problem. He was a bit jealous of talent. It should be said that he was jealous of people who were more talented than him. Now that he saw that Ryoha could use Chidori, the rumors were true. A trace of jealousy flashed through his heart.
"Great, the Chidori landed a clear hit!" Sakura said happily.
"Did it really hit him?" Sasuke fell into his memories because of Naruto's words. Itachi's words made him live humbly. A large amount of stimulation made his Sharingan start to spin, but just as it awakened the second tomoe, he was awakened by Sakura's words.
At the same time, because he saw Ryoha hit Orochimaru, he began to calm down. The speed at which his Sharingan was originally spinning began to slow down. Perhaps he didn't know it himself because Sakura's unexpected words actually made his originally evolving Sharingan stop spinning.
When his Sharingan stopped spinning, the second tomoe that was about to appear had already disappeared. His eyes reverted back to 1-tomoe.
