"Next, Ninjutsu."
Shin'yu announced calmly, then symbolically clasped his hands together, his cheeks slightly puffed out.
"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique!"
As he opened his mouth and exhaled, the temperature inside the temple rose sharply. In the distorted air, four enormous fire dragons spiraled out, like fish swimming in a sea of fire, crashing towards Orochimaru in the scorched pit with the force of falling stars.
The crimson firelight illuminated Orochimaru's astonished face. The heat approached, the wild wind scattered his white hair, and in the rising flames, the corners of his eyes twitched rapidly.
"This is... what scale of Ninjutsu!"
Orochimaru wanted to exclaim in amazement, but seeing the fire dragons falling like cannonballs, he could only form hand seals, gather all the Sage Art Chakra in his body in one breath, and his throat moved slightly.

"Sage Art: Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
He opened his mouth wide, and a massive torrent of water gushed out like a sluice gate, instantly gathering into a huge water ball, which met the four fire dragons as soon as it appeared.
"Chi Chi Chi—"
Water and fire mixed, and a large amount of white steam was generated out of thin air, engulfing the entire temple like a tide.
The spraying of water continued, and Orochimaru was surprised to find that he had gained the upper hand in the Ninjutsu confrontation!
The Water Release fused with Natural Energy, carrying the power of nature, and extinguished Shin'yu's fire dragons one after another in just a few breaths, and the temperature also dropped little by little.
It should be known that this was basically impossible in the past.
The power of Ninjutsu depends on the practitioner's proficiency and Chakra amount. Of course, the latter is the decisive factor.
Faced with a gap like a world of difference, even if you are proficient in nature transformation, as long as you have not stepped into the Bloodline Limit, you will still be crushed.
But unexpectedly, now that he had entered Sage Mode, his Ninjutsu had also made a qualitative breakthrough with the blessing of Sage Art, and he could actually compete with Master!
However, this idea disappeared when he saw the huge water spears surrounding Shin'yu.
At this moment, Shin'yu stood in the air on the Guardian God Sword, surrounded by swirling water. Orochimaru's water ball was inexplicably drawn to his side.
His hair fluttered, and six crystal-clear water spears were entrenched behind him, like a blue divine wheel. In the surging mist, his deep facial features were like a dream, like a god descending into the world.
"Is this the Water Release fused with Sage Art?"
Shin'yu stretched out his palm, and a water spear automatically flew into his palm.
He closed his eyes slightly, felt the majestic power contained in the water spear, and then opened his eyes. A trace of faint disdain appeared in his vermilion jade-like pupils.
"This power is nothing more than this."
He raised his hand and waved, and the six water spears stopped at the same time, then turned their spearheads and instantly disappeared into the air. The six milky white sound cones shook together, blooming like flowers behind him.
Orochimaru suddenly took a big step back. In his pupils, which had shrunk to the size of a needle tip, six water spears were approaching rapidly!
He moved left and right, trying to avoid the fatal water spears with the speed advantage he had after entering Sage Mode, but the water spears seemed to have eyes, chasing him relentlessly!
"Damn it, I actually forgot that Master can control water flow..." While running away, Orochimaru glared, as if he had thought of something, "Could it be that his Fire Release at the beginning was for this moment?"
He continued to dodge sideways, and brushed past a water spear.
Shin'yu, with his feet on the Guardian God Sword, raised a hand and hooked his fingers. Under his guidance, the three water spears suddenly accelerated, changing direction in mid-air, forming a pincer movement, and heading straight for Orochimaru's chest!
"No choice, I have to take it head-on!"
Orochimaru clapped his hands together, a helpless expression on his face. He didn't expect that he would have to fight against his own technique, but the water spears were approaching, and he had no time to think about anything else.
"Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation!"
An invisible wave suddenly spread out, and as Orochimaru's feet stepped on the ground, the ground also rippled like the surface of water!
This was a Sage Art obtained from Ryuchi Cave, a reincarnation Ninjutsu that could give life to inanimate objects and control them.
Under Orochimaru's control, the rock-solid bluestone bricks in the temple suddenly wriggled, instantly twisting into a vortex-shaped stone shield, which suddenly expanded and collided with the water spears!
Obviously, this was not Earth Release, nor was it a simple Ninjutsu that used Chakra to control matter, but pure natural power.
With a "boom," the stone shield and the water spears shattered together, and the fragments shot out with a "whoosh," sweeping away the white mist within a hundred meters.
"Chih!"
Orochimaru was too close, and a bloody mark was cut on his cheek.
"Careful, the sword energy is coming." Shin'yu's light laughter came from above.
Orochimaru suddenly looked up, and in his golden vertical pupils, he saw Shin'yu's immortal-like figure.
At this moment, Shin'yu held his hands in a circle, with a turquoise streamer trailing between his right palm and the fingertips of his left hand. Under the traction of a strange force, the streamer was absorbed inward, gathering into an emerald-like round bead.
The round bead rotated quietly, its light restrained, and the entire space rippled like a vortex, with a wild wind dancing.
A drop of cold sweat dripped from Orochimaru's forehead without him realizing it. Just looking at the round bead, he felt a stinging pain in his skin, as if he had been blown by a biting cold wind.
"That is..."
He knew that when "Autumn Dew on Leaves" was cultivated to a certain level, the blue Light Blade would transform into cyan, and the cyan streamer in Shin'yu's palm was the sword energy that could be released at any time. This was an advanced form of "Autumn Dew on Leaves," far from comparable to his current blue form.
And these powerful sword energies were merging into that round bead like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea!
The pressure that this round bead brought him was no less than that of a Tailed Beast Ball.
"What kind of Ninjutsu is this, to have completed the form transformation of Chakra to this extent!"
"A combination of Rasengan and Autumn Dew on Leaves, using the compression ability of Rasengan to further accelerate the flow of Autumn Dew Chakra." Shin'yu gave an explanation, a playful arc appearing on the corner of his mouth. "Use your Sage Art Autumn Dew on Leaves and see if you can withstand this attack."
Orochimaru took a deep breath and clasped his palms together. The ice-blue flowing blade extended inch by inch, as if he was carrying a horse-chopping sword, until it reached the ground, cutting through the stone bricks as if cutting into tofu.
"Sage Art: Super Autumn Dew on Leaves!"
Orochimaru aimed for the opportunity, swung the huge Light Blade in his hand, and suddenly unleashed a rising slash.
"Ninja Art: Autumn Water Whirlwind Burst Orb!"
Shin'yu threw it casually, and the round bead suddenly fell to the ground.
In the next instant, the cyan brilliance flashed and exploded across the sky.
The round bead suddenly shattered, and dense slashes covered the sky and the earth. Streams of light spun and danced in a chaotic manner, creating a cyan tornado on the ground!
In his seat, the White Snake Sage, as steady as an old dog, had bulging eyes and hurriedly used an unknown powerful Barrier Technique to avoid being affected by the storm's blade waves.
Even so, half of the temple was instantly destroyed, with floor tiles, walls, buildings, and roof tiles all breaking apart in the storm!
A cyan light soared, and the fierce wind, carrying sword energy, finally broke through the temple roof, transforming into a lithe dragon shape in the night sky, vanishing in a flash.
With a "crack," the Barrier shattered.
The White Snake Sage was panting slightly, her eyes flickering with shock, as if she had just blocked a Tailed Beast Ball.
Orochimaru knelt on both knees, completely dumbfounded. His Sage Art Light Blade only lasted for a few seconds before being brutally torn apart. He himself was unharmed, entirely because Shin'yu held back.
No, that's not right!
He touched his slightly cool brow, the texture smooth and even. The single horn had been shaved off at some point, crushed into powder.
