Orochimaru laughed: "On a dimly lit night, your shadow imitation technique is a joke."
I knelt on the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with dust, grinned, sneered, and asked Orochimaru a question that would subvert the world's ninja system: "Do you know what a shadow is?"
Orochimaru's golden snake eyes flashed with doubt: "What do you mean?"
I stood up unsteadily, patted the dust on my body, and said in an unprecedented calm tone: "Shadow, in physics, is a dark area caused by light being blocked by opaque objects. The shadow imitation technique we usually use is the shadow cast by us using chakra to extend our body to block the light source."
My voice was not loud, but it was extremely clear on the silent roof.
"But..." I paused and raised my head. Although I couldn't see the stars, I knew they were there. I pointed to the solid tiles under my feet, and then drew a huge circle that encompassed the entire world.
"When the sun sets and the moon never rises, who is the shadow of this dark night that covers everything?"
I stared at him and said word by word: "It is the planet under my feet, the entire earth, using its huge body to block the brilliance of the sun. We... Are standing in the shadow of the entire earth!"
After Orochimaru heard this, the teasing and contempt on Orochimaru's face instantly solidified. His inhuman snake eyes suddenly shrank, as if he had seen the most incredible monster. An instinctive fear of unknown power climbed onto his pale face for the first time.
