Naruto: Reborn as Orochimaru

Chapter: 174 Battle of Weapons

The second wave of attacks from the Sky Ninjas wasn't as effective as the first.

After all, Konoha, as the largest village in the ninja world, was quick to adapt. The initial surprise had worked in the enemy's favor, but a second attempt? This time, it wasn't going to go so smoothly.

Orochimaru took his weapon back and glanced over at Nawaki, who was hiding nearby. Because of his relationship with Tsunade, Orochimaru kept a close eye on Nawaki on the battlefield, keeping him by his side. It might slow Nawaki's growth as a shinobi, but Orochimaru didn't mind. He was genuinely curious to see if he could change Nawaki's fate.

After confirming that Nawaki was safe, Orochimaru turned his attention to Hizashi. The thirteen-year-old Hyuga was carrying his scroll and maneuvering among the rocks,

The old strategy of "cut off the head to kill the snake" still applied.

If only he could fly. If he had that ability right now, Orochimaru would probably be challenging Onoki directly.
