Chapter 17: The Three Sannin Gather and Naruto Unleashes His Power
One Rasengan after another flew from his Chakra-condensed arms, heading straight for Orochimaru.
Seeing this, Orochimaru couldn't help but sneer; clearly, he didn't take this level of attack seriously.
In Orochimaru's eyes, although Naruto seemed strong now, he was still too weak for him.
If Jiraiya were to use Rasengan of this caliber, he might find it troublesome.
But if it was Naruto, he could completely ignore it.
However, just as Orochimaru thought these Rasengan Naruto had created were useless, Naruto's lips curved into a smile.
Naruto also knew very well that with his current strength, this level of Rasengan was not enough to defeat Orochimaru.
So, from the very beginning, Naruto had an extra trick up his sleeve.
At this moment, almost every Rasengan he created was imbued with Armament Haki.
And with the enhancement of Armament Haki, the attack power of Rasengan was far from ordinary.
No matter how strong Orochimaru was, he couldn't withstand such an attack head-on, unless he wanted to die.
Watching the Rasengan get closer and closer to Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto, Naruto grew more and more expectant.
However, just as those Rasengan approached Orochimaru at an extremely fast speed, about to land on him, Orochimaru finally noticed something was wrong.
"Hmm? This attack is problematic!"
"Summoning Jutsu! Manda! Come out!"
The giant snake he had previously summoned had already been dealt with by Naruto, so Orochimaruhad no choice but to summon Manda to defend himself.
And just as Naruto's Rasengan was about to hit Orochimaru, Manda's shadow suddenly appeared.
The next moment, Manda merely swept his tail, batting away all of Naruto's Rasengan imbued with Armament Haki.
Seeing that he had almost succeeded, only for his Rasengan to be blocked by Manda, Naruto couldn't help but feel surprised.
"It's Manda!"
Naruto stared wide-eyed at Manda, whom Orochimaru had summoned, and frowned slightly.
Naruto was very clear about Manda's strength, as he was the leader of the summoned snake clan, and his defense was astonishingly strong.
"Heh heh, brat, I have to admit, you do have some skill!"
"But trying this trick in front of Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, is completely useless!"
"Now, let me show you my power!"
Orochimaru seemed to have his interest piqued by Naruto's techniques and was now preparing to deal with Naruto himself.
As one of the Sannin, Orochimaru's strength was beyond doubt.
If anyone could defeat him, it could only be Tsunade and Jiraiya.
At this moment, just as Orochimaru was about to fully engage Naruto, another gigantic figure suddenly descended from the sky.
When Naruto saw who it was, he was immediately overjoyed.
"Orochimaru! Bullying my disciple, isn't that a bit beneath you!"
"I'll be your opponent!"
Jiraiya stood on Gamabunta at this moment, showing only his back to Naruto.
But that back looked more and more impressive.
The next moment, Naruto directly jumped onto Gamabunta's head, standing alongside Jiraiya.
"Naruto, I saw your attack just now, you did very well!"
"Leave the rest to me!"
Jiraiya didn't want Naruto to be in danger, so he planned to deal with Orochimaru himself.
However, just as Jiraiya was about to make his move, Tsunade, behind him, had also summoned Katsuyu.
At this very moment, the legendary Sannin were finally reunited.
Only this time, they were not allies, but enemies.
"Jiraiya, don't forget I'm still alive!"
"Capture Orochimaru and bring him back to the Village!"
Tsunade had already resolved her inner turmoil through the previous events.
At this moment, she gave Naruto a grateful look, her eyes full of appreciation.
If Naruto hadn't selflessly given her time to recover earlier, she would probably be dead by now.
"Heh, Granny Tsunade, you've finally pulled yourself together!"
"But dealing with Uncle Snake doesn't require you and Master to step in!"
"I alone am enough!"
Naruto was already preparing to make another move.
In his opinion, if Tsunade and Jiraiya were to step in, the mission wouldn't be completed.
The reward for the previous mission was quite good, and Naruto didn't want to miss it.
However, just as Naruto was about to make his move, Jiraiya tried to stop him.
Clearly, in his opinion, Naruto was no match for Orochimaru.
Orochimaru was, after all, one of the legendary Sannin, and his performance in the great Ninja War years ago was outstanding.
Even now, many people still feel a lingering fear when they mention that guy.
So, no matter what, Jiraiya didn't want Naruto to take risks.
However, just as Jiraiya was about to stop Naruto, Naruto had already secretly created a Great Ball Rasengan without anyone noticing.
And there wasn't just one Great Ball Rasengan, which truly shocked Jiraiya.
It turned out that while Jiraiya and Tsunade's appearance had just attracted Orochimaru's attention, Naruto had already been preparing.
While they were talking, Naruto had secretly been preparing with his Chakra-condensed arms in the back.
At this very moment, when more than a dozen Great Ball Rasengan were ready, Naruto directly enveloped them all in Armament Haki.
The next second, under the shocked gazes of Jiraiya and Tsunade, Naruto directly flung out the Great Ball Rasengan.
Orochimaru, on the opposite side, saw this scene, his pupils constricted slightly, and he quickly reacted.
"Manda, dodge those attacks!"
At Orochimaru's command, Manda decisively flew towards the sky.
However, just as Manda was about to rush into the sky, Gamabunta, under Jiraiya's command, blocked Manda's path.
Left with no choice, Manda had to change direction, but just as he carried Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto towards another spot, Katsuyu and Tsunade immediately blocked their path as well.
Seeing himself caught in a pincer attack, Manda and Orochimaru were momentarily at a loss as to what to do.
And at this moment, the more than a dozen Great Ball Rasengan, imbued with Armament Haki, that Naruto had thrown, suddenly arrived.
The next moment, those Great Ball Rasengandirectly slammed into Manda's body.
Even with Manda's defensive power, he couldn't withstand so many Great Ball Rasengan.
Especially Great Ball Rasengan imbued with Armament Haki.
Thus, Manda was quickly injured by the Great Ball Rasengan, and Orochimaru, who had been on him, also didn't escape harm.
Orochimaru had originally wanted to hide inside Manda's body, but clearly, the Great Ball Rasenganwas faster.
"Haha, Uncle Snake, how does my Great Ball Rasengan taste?"
"Want some more?"
Naruto saw Manda and Orochimaru, not far away, were already injured, and immediately became happy.
In contrast, Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto looked utterly disheveled at this moment.
Coupled with Jiraiya and Tsunade eyeing them menacingly, Orochimaru had no choice but to decide to retreat.
