Yakushi Kabuto possessed Elite Jonin strength, Kimimaro in his complete form had Elite Jonin strength, and the Sound Four in their complete forms had Special Jonin strength.
If this lineup were to deal with Li Chuan's demonstrated strength in the Forest of Death, it would be more than sufficient, as Li Chuan's strength at that time was, at most, that of a taijutsu-focused Elite Jonin.
Furthermore, this location was far from Hidden Leaf Village, so no matter how intense the fight, it wouldn't be noticed.
"Your Highness, you now have two choices: one is to consciously allow us to use Sealing Jutsu and take you back to the Base, and the other is to unconsciously allow us to use Sealing Jutsu and take you back to the Base."
Yakushi Kabuto extended his hand, materializing a sharp Chakra scalpel, while the Otogakure Four also simultaneously activated their Cursed Seal Level Two forms.
"I knew Orochimaru wasn't that kind-hearted. Since you want to play, I'll play with you!"
Li Chuan roared, his body rapidly expanding into a muscular state.
It would still be a while before Tenzo returned from reporting to the Third Hokage, and this time was perfect for him to test how strong he truly was when going all out against Orochimaru's subordinates.
"Summoning Jutsu: Mud Golem!"
Jirobo summoned a giant ten-meter-tall stone golem.
"Secret Jutsu: Summoning Jutsu: Great Spider!"
Kidōmaru summoned a giant spider, accompanied by a group of smaller spiders.
"Summoning Jutsu: Three Ogres!"
Tayuya summoned three giants wielding spiked clubs.
They knew Li Chuan's taijutsu was exceptionally strong, so those who could use Summoning Jutsu first summoned their respective summons.
"Weather Charm - Gale and Torrential Rain!"
After his body expanded, Li Chuan pointed the elder wand in his hand towards the sky, and immediately, dark clouds gathered above the Valley of the End. Lightning, strong winds, and heavy rain descended simultaneously.
The Valley of the End already had a lake, and with him creating rainy weather, it would be very helpful for him to use Water Release, Lightning Release, and Wind Release later.
After casting the Weather Charm, Li Chuan quickly performed hand signs:
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
After three consecutive Great Waterfall Techniques, Kabuto, Kimimaro, the Sound Four, and all the summoned beasts charging towards him were scattered.
Although the Great Waterfall Technique lacked offensive power, its attack range was large enough, making it an excellent choice for an opening suppression, especially with his abundant Chakra in this state.
"Lightning Release: Earth Corridor!"
After the Water Release, Li Chuan once again performed hand signs to release Lightning Release, forcing the few who had just surfaced from the Great Waterfall to disperse and jump away from the water again.
Seizing this opportunity, he pulled out the incredibly sharp kusanagi sword from his small pouch and charged directly towards Tayuya, who had already taken out her flute and was preparing to use genjutsu.
Besides raw strength, the most important aspect of a Ninja's battle was mastering information about the enemy. Li Chuan knew the intelligence of everyone present: what Bloodline Limit they possessed, what Ninjutsu they excelled at, and where their weaknesses lay, all crystal clear.
The opponents, however, only knew that his taijutsu and medical Ninjutsu were formidable; they knew nothing else.
Therefore, he gained the upper hand from the very beginning with a combination of Water and Lightning Ninjutsu.
"Not good!"
Tayuya was just about to cast her genjutsu when she found that Li Chuan had already charged in front of her and was slashing with his sword. She quickly used her flute as a weapon to block.
However, with Li Chuan's strength combined with the sharpness of the kusanagi sword, her flute was no match and was directly split into two.
"Dead Bone Pulse: Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets!"
"Secret Jutsu: Spider War Bow: Dreadful Tear!"
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"
At this moment, Kimimaro, Kidōmaru, and Yakushi Kabuto, who had reacted and possessed long-range support capabilities, launched attacks on Li Chuan from three directions.
If Li Chuan continued to attack Tayuya, he would undoubtedly be instantly killed by the Ninjutsu of the three.
"Protego!"
Seeing this, Li Chuan waved the elder wand in his left hand, and a Shield Charm rose, directly blocking the Ninjutsu of the three. At the same time, he followed through with a whip kick, sending Tayuya flying and spitting blood.
In truth, he could have cut off Tayuya's head with one swing just now, but he didn't.
Because Orochimaru's Hidden Leaf Village Destruction Plan would still rely on these people later. If he eliminated all of them, the Hidden Leaf Village Destruction Plan would not be completed.
"Boom!"
Bones, golden arrows, and water dragons simultaneously struck the Shield Charm, and after about three seconds, the Shield Charm shattered with a crash.
Clearly, with Li Chuan's current level of Shield Charm, it could not withstand the combined power of the three's Ninjutsu.
However, when the strongest, Yakushi Kabuto and Kimimaro, arrived at Li Chuan's location, they found that Li Chuan had already disappeared.
"Ah!"
Just then, Kidōmaru, who was on a nearby tree, preparing to aim another arrow, suddenly let out a scream.
"How is this possible? When did he get there?"
Everyone was startled to discover that Li Chuan had, at some unknown point, appeared behind Kidōmaru and kicked him down from the tree.
It turned out that Li Chuan had taken advantage of the moment the Shield Charm was deflecting the Ninjutsu to Apparate directly behind Kidōmaru and launch an attack.
Tayuya and Kidōmaru, one proficient in genjutsu, the other in spitting webs and archery, would be very troublesome if allowed to provide support.
Fortunately, neither of them specialized in taijutsu, so once he got close, they basically had no power to resist. Therefore, they were definitely priority targets to be dealt with.
If he had Apparated next to Jirobo or Sakon and Ukon, who were proficient in taijutsu, it would have been impossible to take them down in one move like this.
If he had Apparated next to Yakushi Kabuto and Kimimaro, they might even have been able to launch a counterattack during the brief pause after his Apparition.
Now that Tayuya and Kidōmaru were knocked out by him, their summoned beasts also disappeared, and the number of people ganging up on him was significantly reduced.
"Die!"
After Li Chuan dealt with Kidōmaru, Jirobo, who was closest to Kidōmaru, drove his ten-meter-tall mud-stone giant and threw a punch towards Li Chuan.
"Swish swish swish!"
Li Chuan easily dodged the attack, leaped onto the mud-stone giant's arm, and while rushing towards Jirobo, he swiftly swung the kusanagi sword in his right hand. The mud-stone giant's arm immediately broke into several pieces.
This kind of mud-stone giant, with only strength and little speed, might be effective against Chunin, but against him, it was just a target.
"Don't underestimate me, Shoulder Thrust!"
Seeing Li Chuan charging directly at him, Jirobo, as the strongest and most powerful taijutsu-type Ninja among the Sound Four, mustered the immense power brought by his Cursed Seal, raised his right shoulder, and charged forward like an enraged bull.
Even Kimimaro wouldn't dare to directly confront this technique of his.
"Stupefy!"
However, Li Chuan had no intention of competing in strength with the thick-skinned Jirobo. As they were about to collide, he raised his left hand and delivered a Stupefy Curse.
Jirobo, who was running, immediately closed his eyes and fell from the mud-stone giant, and the mud-stone giant also disappeared.
