Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

Xiao Li, who opened the Eight Gates to the fourth gate, gained a huge amount of strength in a short period of time. After the high-speed movement, the huge impact force burst out. He kicked Kimimaro hundreds of meters away.

He even pierced through the bone armor on Kimimaro's chest, causing him to spit out blood in mid-air.

The little guys were all experienced. They didn't think they could defeat Kimimaro in one go.

Karin even added a shot of clay falling from the sky from a distance.

Kimimaro, who had just stood up from the ground, was directly covered by clay. His whole body seemed to be stuck in glue and began to become heavy and slow.

"Fire Style, Dragon Flame Song."

Sasuke immediately cooperated with a fire escape. These two techniques are a combination of ninjutsu. The combination of high temperature and clay will directly burn the enemy into mud.

Kimimaro twisted his body to try to break free from the clay, but then he felt the chakra flowing in his right arm and was unable to break free for a while.

Neji's soft fist was not without effect. Neji tried his best to temporarily block the flow of chakra in his right hand, preventing him from gathering stronger power.

Kimimaro's moves are not pure ninjutsu, but ninjutsu like Aoba. The amazing destructive power he caused requires the coordination of chakra.

This included the body's self-healing, bone mutation, high-speed movement and destruction. Therefore, the poor flow of chakra caused his movements to become slow.

Directly hit by the combined ninjutsu of Sasuke and Karin.

But the next second, an even more terrifying aura surged out from Kimimaro.

Ningji saw this scene from a distance.

"Don't come near, get out of the way." Neji didn't have time to explain. But everyone could still understand the warning from the Byakugan. Everyone immediately dispersed to the side.

The flames and clay were completely shattered by another more violent force.

Kimimaro's body reappeared, but this time, his body had mutated even more horribly.

The whole body showed obvious animal transformation, and even grew a long tail behind it.

Sasuke saw the scene in front of him and had a strange expression on his face. He was very familiar with this kind of power because he also had it.

It's the power called the curse.

Orochimaru may have had this intention in letting Kimimaro appear this time, so that Sasuke can see with his own eyes the power of Kimimaro's curse seal.

Sasuke also admitted that this power was indeed strong. It was so strong that after Kimimaro entered this state, the two teams on his side were no match at all.

However, Sasuke was not envious. Especially when the body was transformed into a beast, he not only did not envy it, but even despised it a little.

The reason why he had this mentality was naturally because Qingye had explained the principle of the curse to him.

"This is a degraded version of Senjutsu. Orochimaru doesn't have the talent to use Senjutsu. But he should have found another weakened version. This thing will increase your strength a little. But not a lot, at least not enough for you to defeat Uchiha Itachi."

The most important thing is that this thing should have hidden a lot of Orochimaru's back-up plans. It is not certain whether these powers are yours or his.'

In the original plot, Sasuke resolutely defected from Konoha for many reasons.

First of all, his strength was not growing fast enough. When he was in school, Sasuke had no such thoughts at all.

At that time, he was number one. There were only weaklings around him, and no one made him feel that way.

The Wave Country mission was the first time that he was stimulated. Zabuza's strength made him start to re-evaluate his own strength.

But later on, Zabuza was defeated by his own team, and the psychological feedback caused by this naturally weakened.

The subsequent Chunin Exams completely stimulated him. First, he was abused by Orochimaru.

Then I learned Raikiri and felt like I was good enough again. Then I met Gaara. In the process of chasing Shukaku, I saw Shukaku's destructive power.

Then comes the most crucial and exciting part. Shukaku was finally defeated by Naruto, the last one whom he had never looked down upon.

Later, Naruto learned the art of summoning spirits and the Rasengan, and his strength on paper completely overwhelmed Sasuke.

These eventually became the last straw that broke the camel's back, leading to Sasuke's final defection.

But in this life, Aoba had long been on guard against Orochimaru. He had previously demonstrated the complete version of the celestial art to Sasuke.

Without any side effects and with even more powerful magic, Sasuke saw what true power is.

Although Kimimaro is in a very powerful state, Sasuke says that he has seen better ones and doesn't even look up to him.

However, even though people looked down on him, the fighting ability displayed by Kimimaro was still shocking.

Even if six people joined forces, they could only barely deal with the opponent.

But little did they know that at this moment, Kimimaro was even more anxious than the other six, because he could already feel that his body could no longer hold on.

Orochimaru's order to him was not to let anyone disturb his duel with the Hokage, and Kimimaro was determined to complete it even at the cost of his life.

But the fighting power of these Konoha Genin in front of him was really beyond his expectations. Soon after the battle began, he was forced to use the power of the curse seal. The burden on his body increased again. Now he could not hold on for much longer.

On the other hand, Orochimaru did not pay attention to the battle outside, but focused all his attention on the battle with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Even though this teacher was old and weak, and no longer ambitious, Orochimaru did not relax at all. After all, the other party was once a top ninja known as the Ninja Hero, and also had the title of Ninjutsu Doctor.

No matter which one it is, Orochimaru needs to take it seriously.

The Impure World Reincarnation summoned the first and second generations, and the three of them joined forces with himself to beat up Sarutobi Hiruzen.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally showed some fighting power at the level of Hokage. He first summoned the summoning beast Sarumo. He fought two against three to close the weakness in numbers.

At the same time, he showed a strong tactical awareness, countered Orochimaru's killing moves continuously, and successfully blew the first and second generations into pieces.

But unfortunately, the ninjas who have been reborn through the Impure World Reincarnation are truly immortal and cannot be killed by conventional means.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also realized this problem. As a Hokage, he naturally knew about the Impure World Reincarnation. He even knew it very well. Naturally, he also knew how to crack it.

But if you use that trick...

.....................

At this time, Konoha's outer defense line also encountered a crisis.

The huge summoned beast snake rushed through Konoha's barrier and walls and entered the village.

Sanno Ibiki and Buzhi Xuanhuojian led the team to fight against the enemies here. However, under the attack of the giant snake and a large number of Sand Ninjas, it became increasingly difficult for them to defend.

At this time, the gap between ordinary jonin and top ninjas can be seen. Facing such a large summoned beast, if there is no super large ninjutsu or a corresponding summoned beast, ordinary ninjas simply cannot cope with it.

Fortunately, at this time, a huge toad figure fell from the sky.
