Naruto: Swarm System

"Princess Tsunade, don't get too cocky."

Hearing Tsunade's taunt, Orochimaru's face darkened.

Tsunade's terrifying strength, capable of shattering a wood golem with a single punch, left him deeply shocked.

However, if she thought that alone could defeat him, Orochimaru, she was sorely mistaken.

Orochimaru then turned to look at Raiko in the distance and said:

"Miss Raiko, if I can't handle Tsunade, I may need your help."

Raiko, floating in mid-air, nodded without expression.

Tsunade had once besieged her, and she would not let that go.

Tsunade looked at Raiko in the distance, her eyebrows furrowed.

Orochimaru didn't worry her much, but that woman, Raiko, made her vigilant.

However, Tsunade soon relaxed her brows.

Because she had several trump cards left by Shishou.

Moreover, Tsunade believed.

If she were to fall into danger, Shishou would certainly come to her aid immediately.

After speaking to Raiko, Orochimaru quickly formed hand seals.

"Sage Art: Eight Branches Technique!"

Orochimaru's body rapidly expanded, transforming into a massive eight-headed serpent, even larger than the previous wooden golem.

This was a sage art Orochimaru developed after acquiring Hashirama's power, utilizing his vast chakra and curse mark power to enhance the original Eight Branches Technique.

In the state of the Eight Branches Technique, Orochimaru could forcibly absorb natural energy from the air, allowing him to use sage arts for a short time.

Of course, this time was brief, only thirty minutes, and the side effects were severe.

After using this jutsu, Orochimaru had to immediately abandon his current body, awakened with Hashirama's power, and transfer to a backup vessel using the Living Corpse Reincarnation Technique.

Otherwise, he would turn to stone forever.

"Roar!!"

As soon as Orochimaru transformed into the eight-headed serpent, he roared and began to forcibly absorb the natural energy around him.

"Orochimaru's talent in ninjutsu is indeed impressive, but he has taken the wrong path in sage arts."

Raiko sighed as she saw Orochimaru forcibly absorbing natural energy.

In the next second, the eight-headed serpent swelled even more after absorbing the natural energy.

Then, Orochimaru's figure emerged from one of the serpent's mouths, smiling at Tsunade:

"Princess Tsunade, you should be careful now."

After speaking, Orochimaru formed hand seals.

"Wood Release: Multiple Dragon Technique!"

Using the sage energy absorbed by the Eight Branches Technique, Orochimaru created five more wood dragons.

Unable to match Tsunade's strength, Orochimaru intended to use numbers to wear her down.

The five wood dragons roared and charged at Tsunade.

Facing the attacking wood dragons, Tsunade showed no fear, smashing one with her fist.

Seeing this, Orochimaru formed more hand seals, continuing to summon wood dragons to besiege Tsunade, aiming to tire her out and find an opening to strike.

A few minutes later, Orochimaru frowned.

Despite the wood dragons' assault, Tsunade remained at ease, her chakra steady and unexhausted.

Given her previous chakra levels, this shouldn't be possible.

Raiko timely remarked:

"Her chakra seems abnormal, and she is using taijutsu, which consumes less chakra than ninjutsu. Prolonging this fight won't be in your favor."

"You better find a way to finish this quickly."

Raiko knew that Orochimaru's Eight Branches Technique wouldn't last much longer.

Hearing this, Orochimaru's face twisted.

Originally intending to wear Tsunade down, he now found himself being worn down instead, making him lose face.

Orochimaru rapidly formed hand seals, his chakra surging out, and the wood dragons became fiercer.

Then, the eight heads of the serpent all opened their mouths, gathering together.

"Sage Art: Wind Release: Eight Branches Spear!"

A massive wind chakra ball formed in front of the eight serpent heads, compressing.

The next moment.

Boom!

The wind chakra ball exploded, creating a gigantic wind pillar filled with countless wind blades, piercing through the wood dragons entangling Tsunade.

Crack!

The Eight Branches Wind Spear pierced through the wood dragons, leaving a massive hole, and many wood dragons were severed, falling to the ground.

The wind pillar continued, piercing through a distant mountain before gradually dissipating.

Seeing the pierced wood dragons, Orochimaru's face darkened.

Tsunade, wielding the Adamantine Staff, emerged from beside the wood dragons, smiling at Orochimaru:

"Orochimaru, thanks for helping me get rid of these wood dragons."

When the wood dragons entangled her, Tsunade had moved to where the Adamantine Staff was, intending to use it to quickly clear the wood dragons.

Before Orochimaru's Eight Branches Spear struck, she used the staff's extension ability to swiftly leave the spot, avoiding the deadly blow.

The Adamantine Staff!

This was the weapon her teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had left her.

Using it to kill Orochimaru, the treacherous disciple, was perfect.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!!

Tsunade swung the Adamantine Staff, smashing all the remaining wood dragons in two or three hits.

With her immense strength, further amplified in Sage Mode, the Adamantine Staff, which was cumbersome in Hiruzen's hands, was effortlessly wielded by her.

The Adamantine Staff's unbreakable nature and extension ability not only solved her short reach problem but also significantly enhanced her attack power.

At this moment, Tsunade finally understood why her teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had entrusted her with the Adamantine Staff.

With the staff's enhancement, her power soared, making defeating Orochimaru incredibly easy.

"That damned Hiruzen..."

Seeing the staff in Tsunade's hands, Orochimaru gnashed his teeth.

What Tsunade realized, he, Orochimaru, naturally also understood.

Orochimaru then turned to Raiko and earnestly requested:

"Miss Raiko, please."

"I understand."

Raiko, seeing that Orochimaru couldn't defeat Tsunade, nodded in agreement.

Approaching Orochimaru, Raiko said:

"You continue the attack, and I'll assist you."

"Yes."

Orochimaru respectfully answered, immediately summoning the Wood Golem.

However, as soon as his Wood Golem appeared, Tsunade smashed it to pieces with one strike.

Seeing this, Raiko quickly formed hand seals.

"Sage Art: Wood Release: Adamantine Wood Golem."

Having awakened Hashirama's power, Raiko could also use Wood Release, and to avoid revealing her identity, she decided not to use the Inorganic Reincarnation Technique.

After all, until her strength was fully restored, she didn't want to be hunted by that man.
