Chapter 80: Defeating Orochimaru, Preliminaries Begin

  "Judgment of God." Meng Ling murmured, and the thunder pillar immediately submerged the massive body of Wan She into it.

  "Next, it's just you, Orochimaru. Is there anything else you'd like to say?" asked Muwang, releasing the true form of Raijin, in a light tone.

  "You say I have a fate to earn but not to spend? The tone of this little girl is really not small, but what are you relying on?" Wan She's evil voice reached Meng Leng's ears.

  "Is it a snake molt? I was indeed careless, but I don't want to answer your question." Meng Ling said calmly. After all, in the few years of being one of the Twelve Guardians of the Ninja, Meng Ling's combat experience and mindset had already become second nature, so now, seeing Wan She hadn't been killed by himself only made him slightly surprised.

  "Little girl, that jutsu you used just now must have consumed a lot of your chakra. So what do you have left to rely on to defeat me?" asked Orochimaru.

  "Taking you down does require some reliance, but you're wrong on one point, my previous move doesn't need chakra." Meng Ling said calmly.

  "What? Is this really your Blood Limit?" The Daija was already extremely shocked.

  "Controlling all elements between heaven and earth, this is my Bloodline Limit - Elemental Physique." Meng Ling said lightly.

  "Is this the limit of Blood Inheritance? It seems my vessel can change a bit. Decided, you will be my new vessel." Da She Wan said, and was about to launch an attack on Meng Ling.

  "If you dodged the Judgment of God last time with your snake shedding, then this time I'll use an attack that you absolutely can't dodge - the Toxic Giant Soldier." Meng Ling said calmly, and at that moment, a dark red toxic liquid began to flow through her entire body. Immediately, a giant devil made up of toxic liquid appeared behind Meng Ling.

  "That thing is very dangerous, but I just don't know what this girl wants to do." Although he didn't know what Meng Ling wanted to do, Da She Wan still sensed a great danger from the poisonous devil behind her.

  "Sakura, if you don't want to die, take Naruto and the others away from here now. Otherwise, they will be implicated next." Just then, Mei Terumi's voice reached Sakura's heart. In order not to let Orochimaru discover it, Mei deliberately used her sensory powers to send a message to Sakura, who was still standing foolishly by her side.

  "Ah, yeah, I get it!" Sakura was stunned for a moment, then left the battlefield with Naruto and Sasuke.

  "So now, you'll get to experience what it's like to be judged in hell." Meng Ling took a few steps forward, and at the same time, the poisonous devil behind her also moved forward.

  "What on earth is this? Why do I feel a huge sense of crisis from this little girl?" Da Xiaotian asked in surprise.

  "Take it! - Judgment of Hell." Meng Ling waved her right hand, and at the same time, the poisonous devil behind Meng Ling also swung its right hand. The next moment, Meng Ling successfully grabbed the seven inches of Wan She.

  "Although I don't know if there's a time limit for using the Snake Shedding, to be on the safe side, let's end this battle as soon as possible." After grabbing the Ten Thousand Snakes with his right hand, Meng Ling's Poisonous Demon behind him pressed his left hand onto the head of the Ten Thousand Snakes and directly poured the poisonous liquid from his left hand into its mouth.

  "Snake Shedding is something you can only do in your own mouth, but now your mouth has been sealed by my Hellish Poison. I want to see how you'll use Snake Shedding." Meng Ling slowly withdrew her hands and dispelled the poison devil. After that, she flashed away to a distant place. It wasn't that Meng Ling couldn't continue using it, but rather the side effects of using the poison devil were too great. (Using it for too long would cause a big belly.)

  "Ah...... Ah......" Immediately after, all that could be seen was the ten thousand snakes rolling on the ground non-stop. However, anything that came into contact with the bodies of the ten thousand snakes, whether it was trees or grass, would instantly corrode away.

  "To this extent, there shouldn't be any side effects, but now there's still an enemy." Meng Ling's divine sense had locked onto the fleeing Da She Wan, but he didn't intend to continue chasing.

  "Now that I have this, I'm too lazy to kill you." Ming Leng's right hand stirred the Chaotic Divine Power. In an instant, a simple and unadorned ancient sword appeared in his hand.

  "Kusa no Tsurugi, from now on it's going to be my weapon. It's said that with this sword, I can control the Orochi no ōhebi, but I wonder if I'll still be able to control ōhebi after it absorbs energy from the giant snake?" Mugen said with a faint smile.

  At this time, Orochimaru also escaped smoothly and left the Death Forest.

  "This little girl's strength is surprisingly formidable, but humph, my plan has already begun, you absolutely can't stop me. Just let you play with the Grass Cutter Sword for now, I'll take it back later." The large snake pill threw down a sentence and directly left the range of Konohagakure, probably to set up his own plan.

  ————I am that gorgeous dividing line————

  The second test of the Chunin Selection Exam was also completed smoothly five days later, just like in the original work. Only 21 people, or seven teams, passed this test. Although Orochimaru said at the time that he wanted to eliminate half of them, his real intention was to leave only a few people for the third test. However, considering the current situation, it seems that a preliminary exam is necessary.

  After the battle with Orochimaru, Tsunade immediately reported to the Third Hokage and also told him about Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konohagakure, asking him to prepare for defense. When the Third Hokage asked Tsunade where she got this information from, Tsunade simply used her most suitable spy - the twin sisters 'Ling' to get past it, but the Third Hokage was also surprised by the twins' abilities after seeing them in action, and at that time, his only thought was that it was fortunate that Tsunade was a Konohagakure shinobi, otherwise the village's secrets would be exposed.

  Today, the twenty-one genin who successfully passed the second exam have arrived at the preliminary examination venue. At this time, Hinata, Kiba, Shikamaru and Orochimaru, who has already used his transformation technique, have all arrived here. For the sake of their future plans, Hinata did not expose Orochimaru's identity in front of everyone, because she knew that if Orochimaru was exposed here, these genin would be in danger.

  "Congratulations to all of you who have passed the second exam of the Chunin Selection Exams within the expected time." At this moment, Shikamaru Nara was explaining in the preliminary examination venue. And at this moment, every genin's mind was thinking about who their opponent would be next.

  "Next, the Third Hokage will explain the third exam, everyone listen carefully... So, Lord Hokage, please go ahead." After Red Bean finished saying this, he handed over the right to speak to the Third Hokage.

  The Third Hokage explained the true purpose of this exam in his own words, and then the right to speak was taken over by Tsukino Kaze, the chief examiner of the preliminary examination.

  Moonlight Gale explained the decision to hold a pre-selection exam before the third exam under the astonished gaze of everyone, and stated the rules for this pre-selection exam.

  "Kakashi-sensei, Sasuke's cursed seal won't be a problem during the exam, will it?" Mei Ling asked quietly as she approached Kakashi.

  "Although I also want to say that there is no problem, but Sasuke will not give up this opportunity for the exam, so it's better for us to wait and see." Kakashi said calmly.

  "Kakashi-sensei, now that Sasuke has finished the preliminary exam, let's start sealing the curse mark on him." said Mugen calmly.

  "It can't be helped, let's just use the sealing technique you used to seal the Seven-Tails last time." Kakashi replied, his eyes looking towards Tsunade beside him.

  "Alas, yes. Who made me have such a troublesome junior brother?" Meng Ling spread her hands out, but she thought this was for the better. This way, Meng Ling could properly help Sasuke a bit more. As long as he had the command to unseal the Cursed Seal, then Sasuke would be able to use the power of the Cursed Seal even more skillfully.

  And right after that, under everyone's expectant gaze, the display screen showed the first match's contestants.

  Uzumaki Sasuke VS Akatsuki

  Although Sakura still had something to say, she saw Mei Terumi and Kakashi walking towards her.

  "The curse seal still hasn't completely worn off yet, Sasuke." said Mugen faintly.

  "This doesn't need your interference. If you want to persuade me to quit, then forget it." Sasuke said coldly.

  "Good grief! Can't you just calm down a bit? I came here just to give this to you." As she spoke, Meng Ling took out a tiny, grain-of-rice-sized seven-colored bead.

  "What's this?" Sasuke asked with some puzzlement.

  "It's none of your concern, just know that after taking this thing, it can prevent the curse from invading your body within ten minutes." As she spoke, Meng Ling didn't wait for Sasuke to respond and stuffed the pill into his hand.

  "Ah, that..."

  "No more nonsense, you'd better not make Kakashi-sensei lose face, Sasuke. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it." Mingying dropped a sentence and didn't wait for Sasuke's response before flashing up to the second floor viewing platform.

  "Thanks, Mei Ling." Watching Mei Ling's departing figure, Sasuke merely said in a light tone, without any suspicion, and swallowed the seven-colored pill in his hand.

  "With the energy crystal condensed by my Chaos God's power, if it enters Sasuke's body, I can absolutely suppress Orochimaru's cursed seal with my current strength. I've helped you a lot already, from now on it's up to you, Sasuke." Ming Leng thought to himself as he looked at Sasuke who was standing in the middle of the arena.
