Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

On the other side, in the VIP seats, Orochimaru finally took off his mask and revealed his true face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the unfamiliar Orochimaru in front of him and finally realized a problem. He was really wrong back then.

He shouldn't have let Orochimaru leave. Looking around at the smoke-filled Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen took off his Hokage robe.

"Orochimaru, today, as you wish, let's make this a thing."

The battle inside the Four Purple Flame Formation began, and the battle outside the formation showed no sign of stopping.

Facing Kimimaro, both Neji Hyuga, the number one of the previous generation, and Sasuke Uchiha, the number one of this generation, felt unprecedented pressure.

Sasuke even had a feeling of facing Aoba.

The opponent's speed, strength, and skills are all impeccable. Although he has only demonstrated his physical skills so far, his strange bloodline limit can shoot bones at will.

It really made several young Genin feel uncomfortable all over.

"This should be the bloodline limit of the Hyuga clan of the Hidden Mist Village. It is said that they should have been destroyed."

Neji did recognize Kimimaro's origin, but it was useless. His Byakugan could see through the flow of the opponent's chakra.

But Kimimaro didn't have many fancy moves. His strengths were speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness.

Neji and Rock Lee are both the taijutsu prodigies of Konoha, the most representative young generation of Goju Kōfu, but even if they join forces, they can't even get close to Kimimaro.

"Karin and Tenten, you two provide long-range support. I will fight with Lee in close combat. Sasuke and Naruto, you guys act according to the situation."

Neji quickly formulated a strategy. He would never accept that Konoha's two best teams could not defeat this strange young man.

Xiao Li immediately untied the restraints on himself and increased his combat power to the limit.

Tiantian directly took out four ninja tool scrolls and started playing for free, ready to let Kimimaro see the local tyrant's fighting style.

And Karin has already taken action.

"Earth escape. Earth prison." Four earth walls surrounded Kimimaro, restricting his movements.

Sasuke and Karin have cooperated many times.

"Art fire escape ho fireball."

The two of them cooperated and the fireball technique hit Kimimaro right on target.

"Ten fingers piercing the heart." Kimimaro's voice seemed to be not hurt at all.

Ten finger bones pierced through the flames and shot towards everyone.

After several people moved away, they were surprised to find that Kimimaro had changed. His whole body was covered with white bones. He turned into a ferocious monster. He was holding a long sword made of bones in his hand.

The previous Fireball Technique failed to leave a single scratch on him.

"Look at me, the Shadow Clone Technique."

Dozens of Naruto appeared from behind Kimimaro. This guy was not idle during the series of attacks just now. He successfully went behind him, and more than a dozen shadow clones rushed forward with the Rasengan that was not yet complete.

"Willow Dance."

Kimimaro's movements were extremely precise and concise, presenting a kind of beauty like dancing. No wonder his techniques were all named after various dances.

Naruto didn't even have time to react before dozens of clones were blown up in an instant. He didn't even touch Kimimaro during the whole process.

"Such a strong taijutsu. Even with the Byakugan, we can't see the slightest flaw. No, even if we could see it, we can't keep up with the opponent's speed."

"No, I can." Xiao Li suddenly said firmly.

"Fire Style: Great Fire Extinguishment." Sasuke also realized that there was no hope in a close combat. Kimimaro was the strongest physical technique master he had ever seen. So, he switched to ninjutsu attack.

Aoba didn't teach many Fire Styles because the Fire Styles inherited by the Uchiha clan were stronger than those that Aoba mastered.

This is not just talk. The same ninjutsu can be used differently in different hands.

Just like Zabuza's Water Dragon Bullet Technique, there are forty-four seals. The Second Hokage only has four seals.

Similarly, the name of the Uchiha clan's Fire Release has not changed, but many parts have been optimized by the Uchiha clan members.

Although most of the Uchiha clan's resources were divided up by the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen still left some for Sasuke. Sasuke has a very complete collection of information on conventional fire escape techniques.

Seeing that the opponent was extremely fast, conventional ninjutsu could not hit him at all. Sasuke, like Karin, used a large-scale ninjutsu.

But the next second, the flames were forcibly broken. Kimimaro, who was wrapped in bone armor, rushed out of the flames like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex and rushed towards everyone.

"Earth escape, sand-bound coffin."

"Multiple shadow clones."

Karin and Naruto attacked at the same time.

"Tsubaki Dance." Kimimaro's body sprouted numerous bone spurs, and he spun at high speed, directly crushing the quicksand that was trying to restrain him. He also passed through dozens of Naruto's shadow clones.

However, as soon as he landed, he felt something was wrong. He looked down and saw that more than a dozen thin steel wires had been entangled under his feet without him noticing.

Tiantian waved his hands, and dozens of shurikens and kunai connected with steel wires flew around. And those shurikens and kunai actually collided and crossed each other in mid-air.

Incidentally, the steel wires also became entangled with each other, forming a complex and messy wire net that bound Kimimaro inside.

In this wave, Tiantian took the Uchiha style's throwing techniques a step further and showed off his fancy ninja tool throwing skills.

The steel wire suddenly tightened, causing Kimimaro to slow down. However, this level of steel wire could not restrain him. As long as he exerted his own strength, he could easily break free.

But the other party is not fighting alone.

Two kunai did not hit anything, but were caught by Sasuke next to him. As soon as he caught them, lightning flashed in Sasuke's hands. Two electric currents spread along the steel wire to Kimimaro.

"Um......"

Even if Kimimaro was able to resist, he was still shocked. Electric current is different from fire. It ignores the outer layer of defense and spreads directly throughout the body.

Kimimaro, who was paralyzed all over, knelt on one leg. At this time, Ningci suddenly approached and hit Kimimaro with a soft fist acupoint technique.

This is not easy. Because of the armor on Kimimaro's body, conventional physical means are ineffective. Fortunately, the core of the soft fist is the chakra ejected from the fingertips, which directly attacks the opponent's meridians.

What he didn't expect was that after just three pokes of his fingers, Kimimaro regained his mobility.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ningji immediately defended on the spot.

"Kaiten." Kimimaro's body was bounced away by Kaiten. A green body suddenly appeared in the air.

"Eight Gates...Open."
