"That's right. If Kurenai combines her genjutsu with her ability to materialize her spiritual energy, she could kill anyone before they realize anything. Without her genjutsu, her rare ability will never reach its maximum potential."
Ryoha nodded in his heart. Indeed, the combination was terrifying. Any ninjas would be instantly killed by Kurenai without any chance to retaliate.
"Hmph, do you really think I don't know that? It seems like you still don't understand what I'm saying. Don't judge me based on my father's standards. I was trying to say that the leaders of the Yuuhi clan would either lose their inheritance or surpass their predecessors."
"My father was able to use his genjutsu to a terrifying level, but that doesn't mean I can't use my spiritual energy to the limit. "
Kurenai didn't panic. Instead, she showed a cold and confident smile. Her hands moved again.
"Wind Style - Divine Wind!" Kurenai spat out a hurricane toward Orochimaru. At the same time, she used her mental attacks again.
"Bang! Bang!"
Orochimaru, who had been hit, turned into a pile of dirt. On the other side of the ground, Orochimaru's figure appeared. He immediately used his Shadow Striking Snakes. It was obvious that he wanted to capture Kurenai.
"Mental Whip!" Kurenai's ability to materialize her spiritual energy was not only limited to offensive and restraining uses. It could also transform into all things according to the user's wishes.
Obviously, she had achieved the same feat as her father. She had surpassed her father and the previous clan leaders. She could transform her spiritual energy at will. She was so amazing that she could turn something rotten into something magical.
The formless spiritual energy transformed into a long whip that Kurenai could control at will, and it instantly shattered all the snakes that were coming at her. At the same time, it struck Orochimaru's body.
However, when he saw his snakes being shattered, Orochimaru, who was in a bad mood, immediately transformed and narrowly avoided the attack. However, his previous body was broken by the mental whip.
"Oh no you don't. Fire Release - Fireball Jutsu!" Kurenai still had her other hand. While still using her mental attacks, Kurenai made another one-handed seal and used two different elemental jutsu at the same time.
"Earth Release - Earth Flow Wave!" Orochimaru, who had just transformed, was relatively weak for a very short period of time. Orochimaru had inherited the Earth Release of the Third Hokage. In addition to his forbidden techniques, his Earth Release and Wind Release were extremely powerful.
However, he rarely used all of this. It could even be said that he did not need to use them when facing enemies. He mainly used his forbidden techniques and other jutsu related to snakes, so he had always concealed this capability.
Many people thought that Orochimaru only used his snakes to fight, but in fact, as the Third Hokage's favorite disciple, he and Jiraya had inherited the old man's Earth Release, and he was better than Jiraiya at using them.
"Mental Impact!" Kurenai immediately released another mental attack after launching her fireball. The stronger Kurenai's spiritual energy was, the stronger her mental attacks would be, and she would also be able to use more mental attacks at the same time.
Her mental attack was like a drill that directly collided with the fireball and shattered it, causing the fireball to split and burn Orochimaru's body.
"Earth Release - Earth Substitute! Earth Release - Earth Dragon Bullet!" Orochimaru used the Earth Substitute to dodge and then summoned an Earth Dragon to shoot a clay bomb at Kurenai.
"Mental Whip!" Kurenai's mental whip had always existed, but no one could see it except herself.
Many people thought that Kurenai's mental attacks were like ninjutsu, and she would only be able to use them one by one, but that was not the case. The stronger her spiritual energy was, the more mental attacks she could use at the same time.
"How could this be?" Orochimaru was blown away by Kurenai's performance as if a giant thorny whip had whipped his soul. He was in so much pain that he wished he were dead.
He did not understand. Didn't Shinku only able to use one mental attack at a time? How could Kurenai use so many attacks at the same time while using two kinds of elemental ninjutsu simultaneously? It was too terrifying.
"Our family is not a trash clan like the Uchiha. Our family is born from a hopeless situation. Although it's easy to break our lineage, as long as the clan's inheritance gets passed down, the clan leaders will be stronger than the predecessors. You always put your evaluation of my father on me. Of course, you will lose."
Kurenai didn't let go of this chance. It was Orochimaru's fault that he looked down on her. Orochimaru never thought he would encounter such a strong enemy when he came here. Therefore, he didn't bring any corpse of a powerful ninja for his Edo Tensei.
The two ninjas who were resurrected just now were just some extras. Therefore, he was in a very tragic situation now. Moreover, Orochimaru didn't want to expose too many of his trump cards in this fight. After all, he was going to take Ryoha's body in the future.
If Ryoha discovered his secrets, it would be very troublesome to be on guard against him, but no matter what, he had lost this time.
"The battle is over, Orochimaru! Mental Impact!" With a flash of red light, Orochimaru was sent flying by a mental shock wave. Of course, screams were inevitable.
Kurenai understood very well that she was only able to defeat Orochimaru this time because of luck. Orochimaru came unprepared, so his defeat was inevitable. Moreover, she could tell that Orochimaru had deliberately hidden his trump cards in this fight. It was obvious that he had other plans.
She immediately understood when she thought about how Orochimaru had looked at Ryoha with a strange gaze. In her heart, besides anger, there was also killing intent and disdain.
She was angry because Orochimaru dared to mess with her lover and even wanted to possess his body. A trace of killing intent appeared because she was angry with Orochimaru's weird ideas. As Ryoha's lover, Kurenai wanted to repay Ryoha for all the things he had done to protect her. Now was the time for her to protect him.
As for disdain, she pitied Orochimaru's naiveness. She was fine if Orochimaru wanted to take the body of some random ninjas, but Ryoha? The old snake maniac was simply daydreaming.
In fact, Orochimaru also knew the difficulty, but he liked challenges. In his quest for immortality, how could he not love challenges? The path of the strong was filled with challenges and obstacles. He could not give up just because of the difficulty of reaching his goals.
