Naruto: My mother, Haruno Sakura, is so smart that she is almost a demon
Chapter 52: Paper Snow (4800)
Orochimaru looked at the Silent Killing Binding Technique that was rapidly approaching him, but he was not panicked at all.
He first concentrated his attention and observed his surroundings to confirm that he was not trapped in an illusion; then he attached the wind attribute chakra to the Kusanagi sword and slashed at the branches in all directions.
As Orochimaru expected, after the thick branch came into contact with the Kusanagi sword, it could no longer maintain its wooden appearance and turned back into the appearance of white paper.
Just like this, with the Kusanagi sword as the dividing line, in front of the sword there is the wood escape technique that looks like it is baring fangs and claws, and behind the sword there are pieces of paper flying all over the sky.
Sakura doesn't know any Wood Release at all. The Silent Binding Technique she just used was just some white paper that Sakura "dressed up" using a thin illusion and her flexible love.
After all the "Pseudo-Silent Binding" techniques were cut back to their original state, Orochimaru revealed a slightly sinister smile:
“Although I was only hit by an illusion and not a real wood escape technique, I did suffer a lot in this environment, and the mental damage caused by the tree binding was real.
After being hit by an enemy's ninjutsu, a normal ninja's first reaction when facing similar attacks would be to subconsciously dodge;
So the real purpose of you spending so much effort to attack my left side is actually to make me dodge to the right side..."
Before he could finish his words, Orochimaru stretched out his software-modified right hand. The pale arm, without a trace of life, stretched out towards the ground not far away like a snake.
As Orochimaru lifted his right hand, the thin illusion that had been covering the ground was lifted, revealing a dozen detonating tags underneath.
Without exception, all the detonating tags have a piece of unburned sawdust on them, and the connected pink chakra lines isolate the detonating tags and the sawdust, preventing the detonating tags from being ignited.
"It turns out that a trigger trap was set up in advance. Once I step on this chakra film used for camouflage, the pink chakra will shrink, and the sawdust will fall on the detonating talisman and ignite it.
I didn't expect that you even calculated where I would land after dodging the attack.
It seems that your greatest strength is not your strategy, nor your talent in developing ninjutsu, but your wisdom;
Ability to accurately control people's minds in battle, and even utilize subconscious wisdom."
While praising Sakura, Orochimaru used water-attribute chakra to wet all the detonating tags, rendering them ineffective.
"I remember your name is Haruno Sakura, right?
Sakura-kun, just as you believe that I can see through the principles of your pink chakra, I also believe that Sakura-kun has the energy to make other arrangements while controlling the illusion.
After all, these few seconds are too long!
If I'm not mistaken, this time Sakura-kun didn't directly ignite the detonating talisman to launch the attack when I was trapped in the illusion, because he was afraid that I would suddenly lift the illusion and make your attack fail.
Sakura-kuntoki would never bet his victory or defeat on such an uncertain factor."
Orochimaru retracted his outstretched hand and analyzed Sakura's behavior, while also laying the groundwork for recruiting Sakura.
Orochimaru first says Sakura's name, suggesting that he may have paid attention to her before;
Then he praised Sakura's wisdom and expressed his appreciation for her.
Because these were all made clear after Orochimaru cracked Sakura's methods. Orochimaru's words also showed Sakura that his wisdom was not inferior to hers and demonstrated his abilities.
"But, Sakura-kun, you lost this game because you didn't have the courage to take a gamble.
If you control the detonating tag to attack me first, you still have a chance of winning.
Now, I am still willing to give you a choice; come on, Sakura-kun, join us.
Yingjun, you and I are the same kind of people, calm and objective, able to turn everything around us into chess pieces in our hands;
Only as someone of the same kind can I break the trap set by Sakura-kun in advance.
Staying in Konoha will only allow your talents to be buried. I can build a higher stage for you to display your wisdom."
Orochimaru went straight to the point, his hoarse voice neither hurried nor slow, as if what he said was common sense and there was no need to show off.
"Is this the strength of the number one kidnapper in the ninja world?
After this series of punches, I actually had the urge to join Orochimaru's camp.
Apart from anything else, his skills in making empty promises and brainwashing are no less than those of the old monkey.
If I hadn't merged souls, I would have been fooled by him for sure."
Sakura also began to admire Orochimaru a little.
However, Sakura only hesitated for a moment. She still wanted to hang out with Tsunade more than with Orochimaru.
not to mention......
"Thank you Mr. Orochimaru for your kindness, but I haven't lost yet!"
Sakura kept the same business-like smile as Kabuto Yakushi on her face, unfolded the folding fan in her hand, and gently waved it forward...
As the paper fan flapped, a strong gust of wind swept over instantly. Although this gust of wind was not enough to cause substantial damage to Orochimaru, it successfully rolled up the scraps of paper that were originally scattered all over the ground.
This is a ninjutsu that Sakura developed on a whim when Kakashi was teaching Naruto the Wind Style. Because Sakura herself does not have wind-attribute chakra, and her chakra is not much, the jutsu she uses is like a "Youth Mini Reduced Edition" of the Kamaitachi Jutsu.
Under the effect of ninjutsu, the scraps of paper seemed to have gained life, and they were swept towards Orochimaru quickly with the strong wind.
Under the soft sunlight in the forest, they are like the colorful cherry blossom rain in early summer, or the crystal snowflakes flying in the sky in the severe winter. The whole scene is like a dream and magnificent.
But Orochimaru was in no mood to appreciate the beauty before him. He suddenly felt a slight tingling sensation on his arm... Looking down, Orochimaru was surprised to find that the back of his hand had been cut by flying papers, leaving a shallow cut.
These pieces of paper, which should have been soft and weak, became extremely sharp at this moment, and their texture was completely different from that of ordinary white paper.
Moreover, when he looked closely, he found that the white papers flying in the sky were not the irregular shapes he had imagined, but each piece was a square with clear edges and the size of a fingernail.
It turned out that before Sakura used these white papers to disguise the Wood Release Technique, she had already secretly covered them with a thin layer of illusion. Although these pieces of paper looked insignificant, in fact, their sharpness was no less than that of professional ninja tools.
"My style's secret technique: Paper Blowing Snow."
Sakura admired the beautiful scene before her and said the name of her "original" ninjutsu.
Sakura moved slowly and walked behind a big tree to avoid being affected by her own paper snow.
Now that the snake venom had almost disappeared, she had countless muscle strains all over her body, especially in her legs, where every muscle had multiple lacerations.
"Such a flashy ninjutsu is not like Sakura-kun's style."
The dense white cherry blossom rain made Orochimaru have nowhere to hide, so he could only look for a place where the paper pieces were not so dense, while enduring the scratches and making hand seals:
“The wind can move everything, and the separated paper scraps can indeed increase the damage of wind-style ninjutsu;
But this trick can only be used against those ninjas whose wind escape is weaker than yours, otherwise you will be used against them...
Sakura-kun, experience your own ninjutsu!
Wind Style: Great Breakthrough! "
A strong whirlwind blew out of Orochimaru's mouth, carrying white rain and attacking the big tree where Sakura was hiding.
Because the wind jutsu used by Orochimaru was far stronger than Sakura's, Sakura's ninjutsu collapsed immediately after the breakthrough and she couldn't even resist.
In an instant, the strong wind carrying the white rain was split in two by the big tree. Sakura, who was sitting on the ground with her back against the tree, could also see the traces of barren land left by the scraps of paper whizzing past her on both sides.
The big tree behind Sakura was also scratched by the white paper that was flying even faster than before, and the bark was completely crushed, revealing the bright yellow trunk.
But Sakura did not panic. Instead, she crossed her arms over her chest, formed the Bodhi seal, and whispered softly:
"Well said, Orochimaru.
Let's experience our own ninjutsu."
Before Orochimaru, who blew away all the white paper, had time to catch his breath, he found that the big breakthrough that attacked Sakura was coming towards him again wrapped in the terrifying white cherry blossom rain.
"How can it be!"
This time, Orochimaru was really frightened by Sakura's move, but despite being shocked, he still reacted decisively:
"Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall"
After Orochimaru quickly completed the hand seal, he slapped the ground, and an impenetrable earth wall rose up around him, protecting him inside.
However, the effect of the earth flow wall is not as "flowing wall" as its name suggests;
The violent whirlwind mixed with paper scraps instantly turned the earth wall into mud, completely wrapping up Orochimaru inside.
"Earth Release: Hardening Technique!"
Orochimaru used Earth Flow Wall just to test the power of Paper Snow. He didn't expect that the piece of paper blessed by his Wind Style could burst out with such terrifying power. He had to use Hardening Technique to strengthen his defense.
Although this ninjutsu can enhance muscle strength, it will make the muscles hard and difficult to move; it can be said that the hardening technique is completely contrary to Orochimaru's philosophy.
You have to know that in order to make his body more flexible, Orochimaru even went so far as to undergo software modification on himself. If he was not forced to do so, Orochimaru would definitely not want to use this technique.
But even so, Orochimaru is not completely immune to Paper Snow, and the sharp corners of the square pieces can still scratch his body.
Orochimaru was like being in a meat grinder at this moment. The originally white paper quickly cut through his body and was stained with some blood.
The violent white rain was mixed with blood-stained "petals". From a distance, the red and white interwoven pieces of paper actually glowed with a faint pink as they moved at high speed, making it look more like a shower of cherry blossoms.
However, the dancing cherry blossom petals did not carry even a hint of the vitality of late spring and early summer. Instead, they carried a substantial breath of death and endless despair.
Orochimaru didn't understand what was going on. Why did his ninjutsu change direction and attack him?
He can be defeated, but he cannot accept that he cannot see the method used by the person who defeated him.
Orochimaru grabbed a piece of "cherry blossom" and observed it carefully. He discovered that behind the petals there were chakra filaments that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. In terms of thickness, they were probably less than one-tenth of a hair.
Could it be that......
Orochimaru had already guessed what Sakura was doing. He looked at his own body based on his own reasoning.
Sure enough, it was already wrapped with countless spider-like filaments. The chakra filaments had no substance, and even a strong man of his level could not detect them.
"I see, this... is truly astonishing!"
Although he knew Sakura's methods, Orochimaru still couldn't believe that a Genin could do such a thing.
Orochimaru's vision was blocked by the paper blowing snow, but in the haze he could still see the shurikens and kunai he had knocked down.
Those ninja tools were exactly the ones that were chasing Sakura just now, and that cooperated with Sakura to form a seamless attack on Orochimaru.
If Orochimaru thought his guess was correct, those thin threads on his body were stuck to him when he cut off the connection between the ninja tools and Sakura.
Considering the nature of love that can be expanded and contracted, even if those ninja tools were disconnected, the chakra on them should not dissipate so quickly.
“So, at the moment when the Kusanagi sword cut the chakra line, the chakra that was originally wrapped around the ninja tool fell on me;
Sakura-kun took advantage of the opportunity when I was under the illusion to not only disguise the sharp white paper as Wood Release, but also turned the strange chakra covering my body into imperceptible filaments, attaching them to each piece of paper.
In this way, although the elastic force of the thin chakra thread cannot pull the white paper due to the effect of air resistance;
But once they are blown up by the wind-style ninjutsu, countless pieces of paper will be pulled by the elastic force, and their flying trajectories will seem messy, but their final target will only be me at the other end of the filament.
After I used the Great Breakthrough, Sakura-kun should have changed the direction of the force on the paper, and even affected the strong wind of the Great Breakthrough in turn.
It turns out that this battle was going according to Sakura-kun's plan from the very beginning. Thinking about my arrogant words just now, I feel really ashamed.
Whether it is this inhuman chakra control skill or this supernatural strategy, it is all amazing!
What should I do, Yingjun, I want you more and more!"
After seeing through Sakura's methods, Orochimaru felt much better and talked to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
At the end he even revealed a self-deprecating smile and a greedy look.
Just as Orochimaru thought,
The "wind" can indeed affect the "sail", but the "sail" can also change the direction of the "wind" in turn.
Sakura had long expected that after seeing through the principle behind Paper Snowflake's surface, Orochimaru would be curious about what results he would produce if he used his own ninjutsu to activate Paper Snowflake and experiment with it.
Orochimaru is essentially more of a scientific researcher than a ninja, and any scientist would be unable to resist trying experiments on new things in his or her field of research.
This was exactly what Sakura wanted. She had been controlling the chakras from the beginning, trying to influence Orochimaru's breakthrough technique. Although she could not change the wind direction immediately, under the influence of countless pieces of paper, Orochimaru's ninjutsu finally worked for him.
The "Sakura" whirlwind raged violently. Although Orochimaru used hardening techniques to resist and used his strong flesh to temporarily resist the continuous and dense attacks, Orochimaru still felt that his situation was not optimistic at this time.
Small wounds kept appearing all over his body, and blood was flowing out of them. Fortunately, he could feel that the wind was gradually weakening, and now it could not even cut his hardened body.
Orochimaru now had a strong desire to recruit Sakura, and he would not allow himself to appear in front of his future assistant in such a miserable state; therefore, he did not hesitate to use the Orochi-style substitution technique again, peeling off his scarred skin like a snake shedding its skin.
As the epidermis fell off, Orochimaru's body became brand new again; but before Orochimaru could use the hardening technique again, a kunai flew in front of him, and behind the kunai was a burning detonating talisman...
What shocked Orochimaru even more was that the countless pieces of paper that were floating in the paper snow actually lost their frivolous appearance and revealed their true appearance:
Each piece of paper was densely engraved with runes, and in the center of the runes, there was a small word "explosion" written on it.
Even though these pieces of paper are only the size of fingernails, there is no doubt that they are all powerful detonating talismans!
"Boom--" With a loud bang, the kunai that Sakura had carefully calculated finally flew in front of Orochimaru at the right time and caused an explosion.
This explosion not only ignited Orochimaru's clothes and hair, but also instantly detonated the micro-explosive tags flying around.
"Boom!"
Immediately afterwards, the second explosion followed; the sound produced by the simultaneous explosion of countless micro-detonating tags was even more shocking than Naruto and Sasuke's "Golden Wind and Fire Bomb": the entire space seemed to be torn apart by this powerful force, forming a huge fireball. The shape of the fireball became irregular, and the stirred up dust rose on the hot airflow, eventually forming a small mushroom cloud.
Sakura had already thrown herself towards the big tree where Naruto and Sasuke were lying dead side by side.
At the same time, Sakura smiled, and this time it was not a smile to cover up her inner smile, but a real smile from the heart:
"This is - Paper Snow Blowing Stage 2 - Sakura Snow Blowing Technique."
