Sasuke aho had been fuming , was forced to take out his anger at other and after two days of travelling, Naruto and sasuke finally defeated a team that held the second scroll .
Now that they had both the heaven and earth scrolll , they could try and rush towards the central tower and clear this stage .
Unfortunately for them , it wasnt going to be easy as Naruto had been waiting .
Waiting for the manda to attack him and seoerate him from sasuke .
And finally it was here , Even before manda could attack , kumi had already sense it and informed Naruto .
" Finally !"
Naruto muttered .
" what finally ? "
Sasuke heard Naruto mutter and asked bavk but naruto smiled and pushed him away .
" SASUKE WATCH OUT !!! "
Sasuke who was still waiting for an answer was suddenly thrown off the tree branch and saw Naruto was swallowed by a huge purple snake .
A snake soo big , that sasuke couldnt believe it !! .
" NARUTO !! "
Sasuke Shouted as his sharingan acrivated and the chirping of the chidori rang out .
But, even though sasuke was strong, he wasnt capable enough .
Sure he was a genius but only that , he was a genius among equals .
But Orichimaru was far far from his equal.
Manda as the summoned beast of Orichimaru and one of the strongest snake of the Ryuchi Cave , was no joke and with a simple flick of his tail , Sasuke attack was swatted away as he was flew back and struck a tree .
As blood flowed out of his mouth , Naruto who had been swallowed shouted at Sasuke .
" IDIOT !!! I'll handle this big fat snake , it a summon beast . Find his master and defeated them and ill be free !! "
Naruto shouted from inside Mandas mouth as he had been completely swallowed .
Naruto had managed to hold onto the fangs of Manda.
Sasuke felt relief as he quite used his sharingan to find the mastermind behind the attack .
And he found him pretty quick , standing on a tree branch fifty meters away , was an individual wearing a ling robe with pale white skin and smake eyes .
" WHO ARE YOU !! "
Sasuke shouted towards the individual as he attacked with his chidori , shuttling through the beanchs , he reached the location within seconds and pierced the guy with his lighning chidori .
But the next second, the figure of the guy melted and turned into hundreds of smaller snakes as the figure of the individual reappeared four tree away from sasuke .
" So ..you already know the Chidori ... It seems you really are talent Sasuke kun "
Orichimaru teased as his eyes were looking straight at Sasukes sharingan .
Sasuke who thought , the opponent had underestimated him , as it was nothing but foolish to look at a uchihas sharingan in between battle .
" Got you !! " Sasuke proclaimed as he used the sharingan genjutsu on Orichimaru .
Orichimaru froze up under sasukes genjutsu , seeing the Opening , Sasuke used his chidori and pierced Orichimaru through the chest .
" AAH !! "
" Now !!! Tell me who are you and why are you trying to kill us ... And dont you dare lie !!"
Sasuke twisted his hand that had pierced into Orichimarus body .
With blood leaking through the corner of his mouth, Orochimaru started to laugh as his long tongue licked away the blood !!
" Subarashi !!! Sasuke kun ... You truely lived up to my expectations but ... You are weak ... Too weak compared to itachi kun ..."
Hearing this , sasuke immediately felt something was wrong ... His senses started to send out alarms but unfortunately it was too late !!
The Orichimaru in front of him vanished into thick white smoke .
' Substitution jutsu !!! ...but when ... How did he break my genjutsu!! '
Unfortunately before sasuke could run , he felt a presence standing behind him , breathing down on his neck .
" You are weak ...sasuke kun . Tell me do you crave power !! Power that can be yours , power that will enable you to have your revenge !!! "
" I can give it to you ...i can train you . But you'll have to pass this test of mine .
I hope you survive sasuke kun ! "
As Orichimaru finished , Sasuke who had been bound by Orichimarus long white snake like hands , felt pain radiated through his neck as Orochimaru had biten him .
A hot liquid entered his bloodstream and something else ...something dark and sinister ... But it was powerfull .
" AAAAHHHHH !!!! " Sasuke lost all his strength and screamed out in agony and pain ... His body trembling as a Curse mark was engraved into his neck !!!
The mark was Glowing black and red as it was spreading throughout sasuke's body .
Orichimaru wiped the blood of his lips as he smiled at sasuke who was screaming on the ground .
Suddenly, Orochimaru sensed something and looked towards the direction of Naruto and manda .
" Interesting!! "
Naruto who had been fighting Manda for a while , suddenly radiated with a violent and dark orange chakra .
Manda who had been tasked by Orichimaru to only seperate the two , found himself now in danger as Naruto had lost control .
After a desperate fight , the Chakra coat that had enveloped Naruto had started to get thicker .
" Shit !!! "
Manda immediately conveyed this information to Orichimaru who realised who or rather what Naruto was .
" Sarutobi sensei ...always playing the ring master ... Manda you go back. It wouldnt be good if the nine tails lost control "
With that , manda was dispersed and returned back to Ryuchi cave , leaving Naruto who was in the verge of losing control confised and without a target .
As if Naruto suddenly remembered about sasuke , he leaped through the trees at a speed that could be comparable to a new jonin .
" SASUKE !!! "
Naruto saw Sasuke lying on the ground , his body twitching as he had already lost consciousness.
Immediately, naruto eyes locked onto that of Orichimaru and naruto attacked .
But Orichimaru was no weakling, as he easily dodged and kept on teasing naruto .
" Thats some power brat ... But can you even control it ... Make sure you dont accidentally kill you friends with it !! "
" Unfortunately, it seems like i have been found by my little student ... So ill have to leave . I am sure you take care of sasuke kun for me "
Naruto who had been unable to even land a single hit on Orochimaru , decided to check up on sasuke and run away .
But when he heard Orochimarus words , he realised that help was on the way and stopped .
" Tell me what did you do to sasuke and who the hell are you snake guy !!! "
Orichimaru eyes narrowed when he was called snake man , amused he smiled at naruto .
" Tell sasuke kun i can give him what he desires !! "
With that Orochimaru disappeared .
( Master he's gone !! )
' good '
' System , analyse the cursed seal '
Naruto put his hand over Sasukes cursed seal as he intructed the system .
Naruto used mana as he send a stream of it into Sasukes body and the seal .
Within a second , The system had finished and naruto retrieved his mana .
Lettinh sasuke suffer .
" See i told you .... You are weak sasuke "
