The Forest of Death!
Anko had explained everything about the scrolls and forest of death. This time Naruto hadn't interrupted her monologue, even though Naruto would have appreciated being in closeness of a hot woman such as Anko unlike last time.
Team 7 took their scrolls which turned out to be a heaven scroll and dashed inside the forest through their designed gate.
Similar to last time, they were followed by the Amegakure team. Naruto and Sasuke made a trap and tricked them using Sasuke's genjutsu. They took the scroll which was unfortunately a heaven scroll like them.
Unlike last time, they were met with more teams, which may be due to Kabuto announcing their achievement. They have got 2 earth scrolls from Suna teams and 3 heaven scrolls from Ame, Suna and Kusa teams.
After getting some rest, they moved. It had been half an hour since then when a strong gust of wind was directed towards them.
'Orochimaru' Naruto thought and warned Sasuke about the Sannin "Sasuke, the snake!"
Sasuke's eyes widened and he was trembling with both anxiety and excitement.
Naruto saw the snake summon that was about to swallow him as a whole to seprate him from the team. He sped through the hand signs "Fuuton: Tatsu no Oshigoto (wind style: Great task of the dragon)".
A greenish tornado formed around Naruto who directed it at the summon. The jutsu tore through the snake summon sending chunks of it all around and effectively killing it.
He saw Sasuke who was engaging Orochimaru in Taijutsu spring kicked him creating a distance. He saw Sasuke making hand signs and understood what was he going to do.
Naruto went through his own jutsu to aid Sasuke "Doton: Doryuu Taiga no jutsu (Earth style: Great Mud river technique)", creating mudslide below Orochimaru's feet, incapacitating him.
Sasuke's Hoesenka(pheonix flame), clashed into Orochimaru catching him in web of shuriken strings.
He then followed by 'Katon: Goryuka no justu (Fire style: Great flame dragon technique)'.
A giant head of dragon formed of flames rushed towards incapacitated Orochimaru. The jutsu was B rank and was hot enough to completly vaporize a Shinobi, but it was Orochimaru so he didn't take the risk.
Going through hand signs he released his 'Fuuton: Kami Kaze (wind style: divine winds)' on Orochimaru, fanning the flames of already deadly technique.
Orochimaru got consumed by four technique combination from Naruto and Sasuke and screamed. Though neither Naruto nor Sasuke bought it. There was no way a sannin like Orochimaru got caught in the technique. It would be other thing if he was simple jounin.
Their thoughts stood true as the effected Orochimaru turned out to be a mud clone substitution.
"Kukukuku! So the reports were correct. You truly are remarkable shinobi Sasuke-kun. Even you Naruto-kun. I didn't expect you to get rid of my summon so quickly and move to help Sasuke-kun. What do you s-"
He was interrupted as Naruto's feet clashed to orochimaru's face with call of ''Dynamic entery".
Orochimaru stood up wiping off the blood as he glared at Naruto for interrupting him. He was about to say something when he had to dodge a fast kick from Sasuke.
Naruto attacked his left side in a feint which was seen by Orochimaru as he moved to left instead of right. He was going to taunt Naruto as Sasuke clashed in Orochimaru's stomach with his knees making him split blood.
"Shut your mouth, snake!" Naruto taunted and Sasuke smirked at Orochimaru.
"Kukuku! I am just not taking you seriously. If i-"
He was again cut off from his monologue as Sasuke launched a Gokakyu (great fireball technique) at him.
"Doton: Iwadeppo no jutsu (Earth style: stone pistol technique)", Naruto directed his jutsu where Orochimaru appeared after substitution to save himself from Sasuke's fireball, resulting in him getting pelted by large stone bullets which had dramatically increased in size.
"Fuuton: Ditoppa (wind style: Great breakthrough)" Orochimaru launched his own elemental attack at them.
"Katon: Gokamehitsu (fire style: Great fire destruction)" Sasuke launched his flames at Orochimaru's attack.
"Doton: Ganchuusou no jutsu (Earth style: stone spikes technique)" Naruto added his own attacks which tore through the breakthrough and got lit on fire by Sasuke's technique. It clashed into Orochimaru who can't dodge it as he didn't see it coming due to explosion created by Collison of his technique with Sasuke's.
Sasuke felt a little triumph when he saw Orochimaru skewered by stone spikes all over the places. It was quickly replaces by disgust as the fallen Orochimaru's mouth opened to impossible proportion and spit out a fully healed Orochimaru.
"That's enough. I have seen enough. Sasuke-kun, I know you want to kill Itachi. But are you sure leaf can give you enough power. Come with me, I will make sure you are strong enough to kill him." Orochimaru didn't wait for the answer as he elongated his neck, dodging Naruto's attempt to block him and bit Sasuke's neck.
Naruto's eyes widened as he hadn't expected it to happen. He was sure Orochimaru wouldn't give the curse mark until and unless he beats them into submission. And Naruto had plans to avoid that.
Before anyone could react something unexpected happened. The curse mark contained Orochimaru's counciousness and nature's chakra. The Kyubbi's chakra in Sasuke's body Immidiately purged Orochimaru's vile presence, and the nature's chakra mixed with the remanants of six path chakra of the transplanted eye. Sasuke felt like his left eye was on fire. He let out a hoarse scream and settled down holding his eye.
Orochimaru who had seen the curse mark failing watched Sasuke in intrest as he remove hand from the left eye. In place of blue eyes of Naruto, purple eyes with black ripples could be seen in it's place.
Orochimaru was drooling as he thought of getting his hands on Sasuke's body and getting both Sharingan and Rinnegan. He flashed towards Sasuke hands extended to get a hold of him when Orochimaru felt deja vu.
Sasuke extended his palm in front of Orochimaru's face and called out "Shinra Tensei (Almighty push)".
A large force slammed into Orochimaru as he was tossed away like a rag doll. He cursed at Sasuke who had left him tasting dust like Pein, the leader of Akatsuki had done before.
Enraged he knelt to the ground and opened his mouth "Mandara no jin (formation of Ten thousand snakes)". Orochimaru spat legions of Snake towards Team 7. The snakes then opened their mouth and each had a copy of famed Kusanagi blade coming out from it.
Naruto was going through handsigns of Mokuton jutsu to defend from it when he felt Sasuke's chakra rise.
He quickly performed a 'Doton: Iwa domu no jutsu (Earth style: Earth dome technique)' and hid inside it with unconscious Sakura who had lost her consciousness somewhere in battle.
As soon as they retreated into safety of Earth dome, Sasuke's voice shouted "SHINRA TENSEI"
The force of the technique this time was so high that in addition of dispelling the snakes, it also uprooted trees from a large area of forest of death. Orochimaru once again found himself flung around like a rag doll.
Naruto decided use of Mokuton would not do any good now, when Sasuke already have gained additional intrest from Orochimaru. So he intacted the contingency plan.
He discretly summoned Yoko and himself tore out of ground launching a punch to Orochimaru's face, forcefully making him face right. He have to work fast since Sasuke was incapicitated due to extreme Chakra exhaustion and only reason he wasn't serious was because of stored Kurama's chakra in him.
Orochimaru's eye widened as he saw a small fox kit with sharingan eye starting at him. In front of his eyes, the sharingan started to morph into a sphere at centre surrounded by 8 triangles.
'Amenotokotachi' Naruto thought as they witnessed fox kit was replaced by a crow which flew towards Orochimaru.
It was joined by murder of crows which gathered to form a familiar missing nin, Uchiha Itachi.
"Orochimaru, I have use for my brother's eye in future. If I see you after him once more, I will kill you. For now my time is up here. Take the present "Amaterasu (Godess of Sun)".
Black flames surrounded Orochimaru's body causing him immense agony, causing him to scream.
Orochimaru somehow managed to spit himself out, replacing the damage but have already lost nearly all his chakra. He looked back at his last body which was not present there. Naruto had a clone discretly pull it under the earth to make the situation look like more real.
Orochimaru then looked at Team 7's position to find they were not present. He cursed and got away from the place as soon as he could.
