Chapter 62: Three Tails

On the outside, Sasuke and Sakura had become paralyzed after experiencing a tremendous amount of bloodlust.

"Who the hell are you?!" Sasuke shouted. He had already experienced something like this before during his encounter with Zabuza. But this one felt even more intense.

This told him that the person in front of them was even more dangerous than he previously thought.

Burnt pieces of fake flesh fell off her face, revealing the visage of a man hiding beneath.

Her voice changed to a more masculine tone.

"My name is Orochimaru, and if you want to see me again, you have to pass this test…"

"What are you talking about?! Why would we want to see you again?" Sakura exclaimed. She just wanted to get as far away as possible from this bizarre person.

"It won't go that way…" Orochimaru made a hand sign and prepared to make his move, but then…

A violent surge of energy erupted from Naruto's previously unconscious body.

It lifted him into the air and covered him with a coat of red chakra.

His face became more feral-looking, the marks on his cheeks were more prominent now, and when he opened his eyes, they showed a pair of vertical red slits.

"Naruto?" Sakura stared at him with confusion. She did not understand what was happening to him.

Sasuke was the same. "What happened to him?!, what is that that chakra?!" He did not need his Sharingan to know that this chakra did not belong to Naruto.

Orochimaru was the only one who truly understood what was happening, even if it didn't make sense to him.

"How did he break away so quickly?! Can this boy actually control the demon?..." He didn't think that was the case.

Naruto roared like a wild beast and got on all fours.

The thick red chakra began to form elongated shapes behind him.

"Tails?..." Sasuke mumbled. That's what it looked like to him. The tails made him look even more like some sort of wild animal.

Orochimaru looked worried for the first time.

'Three tails already?... that's not good…this is bound to get a lot of attention here. I better hurry and finish what I came here for.' He knew there were several ANBUS stationed around the forest. The moment one of them felt the Kyubis chakra, they would definitely want to come to check.

Orochimaru did not care what would happen to Naruto afterward if he completely lost control of the demon inside him. This was Konoha's problem. He just needed to mark Sasuke and get out.

With that in mind, he finished his hand sign. His neck then became stretched, launching his head forward like a bullet.

Sasuke didn't even see the attack coming. He had been too distracted with Naruto.

But Orochimaru also missed something. Before his head could reach its intended target, it was intercepted by a wild Naruto, who then proceeded to bite his neck with tremendous force, almost ripping it apart.

Orochimaru screamed and was forced to retract it.

"You damn beast!" Now he was more than annoyed with Naruto….he was truly angry.

Naruto gave chase. He jumped into the air and lunged at Orochimaru, slashing at him with his hands.

The red chakra around him had created the form of sharp claws around his hands so he could use them as weapons.

But, no matter how fast and strong he was in his current state, an attack like that had no chance to hit someone like Orochimaru.

This one avoided the claws with little effort before summoning a dozen black snakes from his left sleeve.

The snakes hissed and wrapped around Naruto's arms and legs, securing him in the air.

Orochimaru watched as the red chakra consumed Naruto's clothes and began to burn away his skin.

"You don't even feel the pain anymore, right?" Orochimaru asked after seeing no reaction from him.

Naruto roared like an animal while he struggled to free himself from the snakes.

"Nothing but a beast…." Orochimaru formed a seal with his right hand and was about to use it on Naruto, but then he noticed a sudden change in his chakra signature.

When he looked up, he saw Naruto opening his mouth. A bright sphere of energy formed from it.

"You have to be kidding me…" Orochimaru let go of his snakes and moved away without wasting a second.

He barely avoided being hit by the blast of concentrated chakra that destroyed everything in its path.

Orochimaru's patience had reached its limit now.

"Fine….I'll kill you then." He knew this would make things more difficult for him in the future. But nothing was more important than securing the Uchiha's body.

A sword came out of his mouth before it was secured in his right hand.

"You left me no choice, brat…"

After firing that blast, Naruto fell to his knees. His body continued to be consumed by the toxic chakra and it was obvious that it was not going to last much longer, even if it was left alone.

Orochimaru lifted the blade and prepared to end this in one attack.

"Over there!"

"I see them!"

This was the last thing he wanted to hear.

"They found us already?!" He expected the examiners to show up after feeling the Kyubi's chakra, but they were found too fast.

It was then he saw it…a short distance away, there was a tall cloud of red smoke. This was used as a distress signal.

"But who could…" His eyes moved to Naruto.

That boy was the only one who could have done it. He never took his eyes off the other two genins after all.

This meant that from the beginning, Naruto never expected to win against him. He had only been buying time.

Orochimaru wasn't sure if he felt more impressed or angry at the boy who had ruined his plans.

"I'll get you for this…"
