Looking at Sasuke provoking his former teammate with words like this, Nangong Zhe didn't know why he vaguely saw Itachi Uchiha. Over the years, hasn't Itachi Uchiha been treating Sasuke in such a blunt way, making the people he cares about hate him in order to become stronger? Sure enough, they're a family, and their way of doing things is quite similar.
In fact, is Sakura and Naruto's strength really as weak as Sasuke said? No, it's not like that. Naruto has the Nine Tails, and no one can easily ignore the power erupting from him without considering the consequences. Sakura, as a disciple jointly trained by Tsunade and himself, has soared from an ordinary Genin to the current Jounin level in just three years. She's also a skilled medical ninja. Such a person can be called a genius in other places, but in Sasuke's eyes, she's the 'shame' of Nangong Zhe and Tsunade.
The more you care about someone, the easier it is to hurt yourself. For Naruto and Sakura, it's the same. The two of them didn't calm down enough to think about why Sasuke came out at such a critical moment to ridicule them. They also didn't understand that Chakra has been constantly condensing in Orochimaru's body at this moment. They just put their eyes on Sasuke, and that's the ability to judge things.
Even Kakashi was slightly hurt by Sasuke's words at this time. On the contrary, Yamato and Sasai, who weren't so familiar with Sasuke, seemed to be very puzzled by Sasuke's behavior at this moment.
What kind of bond was it that could turn these people into the current situation?
There was no time to think about it, but something happened again. Because of Sasuke's provocation, Naruto's slightly fierce eyes and Sakura's clenched fists were signs that the battle was about to happen. Sasuke, on the other hand, seemed to turn a blind eye to it. He gently unsheathed the long sword in his hand with the Uchiha Clan tattoo.
The silver-white blade with a cold light instantly looked like a bright star falling from the sky, making it difficult for everyone to open their eyes and look directly at this light. Others didn't know, but Nangong Zhe knew what such a scene represented.
The edge of Sasuke's sword just now had an exclusive name – Sword Light. To Nangong Zhe, who had cultivated inner strength, condensing the sword light was due to the sword intent of the Calamity Sword as well as his understanding of the way of the sword. And Sasuke actually succeeded in condensing Sword Light with his Chakra, which wasn't that high. It was enough to see how amazing Sasuke was.
However, Chakra could only do this much. Unless there was a fortuitous encounter that surpassed common sense, it was almost impossible for him to evolve the sword light into sword qi like Nangong Zhe and unleash a powerful strength like Nangong Zhe.
"I saw it …" Sasuke's voice came out of his mouth with an indifferent voice. His scarlet eyes were emitting endless coldness at the moment, "I saw the unwillingness in your eyes for your own weakness. Since you are unwilling, then you have to face your own weakness bravely, instead of finding various reasons to cover up your weakness. This is the reason why I resolutely left Wood leaf. You want to know why I came to Orochimaru's side? I'll tell you with my sword. "
For some reason, after hearing Sasuke's words, Nangong Zhe felt that it was the same as Naruto's previous words. Both of them were people who dared to face their own weakness, but the difference was that Naruto chose to accept his own weakness and admitted it frankly, while Sasuke chose to use all means to open up a thorny road in front of his weak self.
Seeing that Sasuke had drawn his sword against his two close friends, Orochimaru couldn't sit still. Orochimaru had been condensing a huge amount of Chakra in his body, but it wasn't for battle. After the battle with Naruto in Yonbi form, although it seemed that he kept his body in a complete state through 'molting' again and again, this kind of technique didn't cost a lot.
However, this kind of Forbidden Technique was not without consumption. His strength had already begun to drop to a very low value. If it was only Kakashi and Yamato here, Kakashi wouldn't mind joining forces with Sasuke to keep these two Wood leaf's high-end power here. But the moment Nangong Zhe appeared, such thoughts completely disappeared. After all, unlike Kakashi and Yamato, Nangong Zhe was a genuine Kage level existence. He was someone who could wrestle with him in a complete state.
"Sasuke …" Orochimaru looked at Sasuke who was full of fighting spirit, and didn't know whether he understood Sasuke's real intention or not, but he said to Sasuke: "It's better not to get entangled with them here. Since Wood leaf can send Nan Gong Jun, then we can't guarantee that there won't be more powerful backup on the way, so let's withdraw for the time being!"
Sure enough … Hearing Orochimaru's words, Sasuke's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding. Has Orochimaru really reached the point of exhaustion? The biggest reason why he didn't dare to attack Orochimaru before was because Sasuke was afraid that Orochimaru, who had endless means, was deliberately hiding his strength. But now Orochimaru actually used such a far-fetched and clumsy reason to retreat, which also proved to a certain extent that Orochimaru's combat power had fallen to a very high level at this moment.
"Humph …"
Sasuke put the long sword in his hand back into the scabbard, and the cold starlight disappeared in front of everyone's eyes. It seemed that he was dissatisfied with Orochimaru's cowardice and turned away. Seeing Sasuke's departure, Naruto wanted to step forward and say something, but he was directly stopped by Kakashi and Nangong Zhe's double serious expressions.
Naruto used the power of Nine Tails before, so he was in a weakened state. At this moment, he was so anxious that his legs became soft and he fainted. Sasuke naturally heard the movement behind him, but at this moment, Sasuke absolutely couldn't show the slightest trace of his own emotions, but his hand holding the long sword became more and more powerful.
