Water bears at the beginning, wet bone forest eating old people

Jiraiya came back with a big bag on his head.

"There's no need to be so cautious~"

Jiraiya said carelessly.

Tsunade snorted coldly, rolled her eyes at Jiraiya, and then looked at Orochimaru, who was their brain.

"Charge forward head-on, but proceed slowly. If you encounter irresistible danger, retreat immediately."

Orochimaru nodded to Tsunade.

Jiraiya still only heard the first sentence "charge forward head-on".

He took the lead and rushed back towards the mountain again.

Tsunade and Orochimaru followed closely behind.

The three of them came to the place where Jiraiya had killed two minions. When Orochimaru saw the two corpses on the ground, his face suddenly turned bad.

Even Tsunade knows how to deal with corpses, how did you, Jiraiya, graduate from the ninja school?

After seeing the two corpses, Jiraiya seemed to suddenly remember something and scratched his head.

"Um... I was thinking that since I was exposed, I would just rush in to buy you some time, so I didn't pick up the bodies."

Tsunade was originally in a bad mood, but when she heard Jiraiya say that he was buying time for them, she didn't know whether to be angry or complain.

"Fool!"

However, it is meaningless to worry about these things now. Although there are no signs of the two bodies being moved, there is no one here, which means that the bandits may have discovered the intruder.

"Jiraiya, Tsunade, you two go together, I'll cover the rear."

Orochimaru ordered.

Only Orochimaru himself can remain calm and observe at all times. Tsunade and Jiraiya act together and can barely hold Jiraiya back. This is the most reasonable distribution.

Jiraiya and Tsunade rushed towards the top of the mountain upon hearing the sound, while Orochimaru followed them from the side a few steps behind. It looked as if there were only two people attacking the stronghold.

By the time Orochimaru and Jiraiya rushed to the top of the mountain, the high wooden fence gate had been tightly closed, and several bandits were still standing on the wall.

One of the bandits, who had one eye covered with a bandage, laughed when he saw the two of them.

"Hahaha! I thought they were some amazing ninja warriors, but they turned out to be two little guys with barely grown hair!"

"Hey! Have you guys been weaned? This isn't a place for two little brats to rush in. Go back home!"

"What the hell! Ajia and the others were taken care of by two immature kids? That's lame!"

The bandits also laughed and did not take Jiraiya and Tsunade seriously.

But someone with sharp eyes noticed the ninja forehead protectors on the two men's heads and did not say anything.

The one-eyed bandit leader naturally discovered it, but he had to lead the bandits to laugh at the two of them. If everyone was afraid, how could they fight the battle?

"Damn it! How dare you look down on Master Jiraiya!"

Jiraiya gritted his teeth, but was stopped by Tsunade.

Tsunade was observing the distribution of people in the village and making sure Orochimaru had caught up.

"Come down and fight me to the death if you dare!"

Jiraiya shouted loudly, but the boy's voice was rather shrill, sounding more like unfounded rage, and the laughter in the village suddenly became louder.

"Since you're looking for death, don't blame us brothers for attacking children."

Seeing that it was almost done, the one-eyed commander gave the order directly.

"Fire arrows!"

Whoosh—Bang—

A wooden arrow stuck in front of Jiraiya's feet. The aim was a little off, but it still scared Jiraiya.

The arrow stretched straight and swayed continuously until it came to a stop.

I don’t know which bandit was too nervous and shot an arrow before the bandit leader could finish his shout.

This was like a signal, and suddenly more than a dozen arrows were thrown from the sky.

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

Jiraiya's reaction was not slow either. He immediately formed hand seals and built a solid earth barrier to protect himself and Tsunade behind him.

This earth wall scared the bandits in the village, but before they could react, Tsunade's attack arrived.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

A fireball with a diameter of one meter flew straight towards the one-eyed leader in the mountain village.

"It's a ninja!!!"

"Run!!!"

The bandits instantly escaped from the wooden wall of the stronghold and ran towards the interior of the stronghold. The leader was the first to leave when he saw the situation was not good.

The fireball shot up into the sky and hit the wooden door, setting it on fire in an instant.

"What!" Jiraiya said disdainfully, "It was so easy to beat him away, why is Orochimaru so cautious?"

bang-

Jiraiya stepped forward and kicked open the wooden door of the village. The wooden door looked four meters high, but it was actually made of bamboo poles. It was very fragile and was broken into pieces by Jiraiya's kick.

"Follow me, Tsunade!"

Jiraiya thought he was very cool and gave a thumbs up to Tsunade behind him, then turned around and rushed into the village.

"asshole!"

Tsunade didn't have time to curse Jiraiya. This idiot rushed in so hastily that she couldn't even pull him back!

Tsunade had no choice but to follow Jiraiya into the village.

After Tsunade also rushed into the village, Orochimaru's voice came from the side of the wooden wall of the village. He slowly raised his arm, released several small snakes, and drilled into the village. Then he jumped into the air, stepped on the wooden wall, and turned sideways.

I climbed up the village wall by climbing a tree and overlooked the entire village.

There are many simple wooden houses scattered throughout the village. Among them, there is a two-story wooden building that can be considered a building and is placed in the center of the deepest part.

At first glance, that should be the residence of the bandit leader.

But there is no rush to attack there now.

As the saying goes, a trapped beast will fight back. The stronghold was built on a mountaintop, surrounded by cliffs on three sides. Although it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, once the stronghold gate was breached, it meant that the bandits could only fight back with all their might, with no way to escape.

As Orochimaru had expected, after Jiraiya and Tsunade rushed into the stronghold, they were immediately met with a fierce counterattack from the bandits.

Some of them rushed towards the two men with rusty knives for chopping wood, and some of them were drawing bows and arrows, but they could not shoot because their vision was blocked.

Some of them simply threw whatever sharp weapons they had at the two men without caring about friend or foe.

The appearance of the ninja caused great chaos among the bandits in the mountain village, and the feeling of fear was still spreading.

But among the bandits who counterattacked, the one-eyed leader was no longer seen.

Orochimaru was thoughtful.

Ran away? No, that commander is not a ninja. In this kind of terrain, he can't escape. There must be other unforeseen circumstances.

Orochimaru did not join the battle immediately.

One reason is that Jiraiya and Tsunade can definitely handle it.

The second reason was that the information on the mission scroll was indeed outdated. At this time, there were more than 30 bandits in the mountain stronghold, and even a small number of bandits had just rushed out of the house with weapons.

However, the enemy leader has hidden himself, and Orochimaru must ensure that his appearance will pose a threat to the bandit leader. Even if he cannot reverse the situation, he must control it.

Orochimaru was hiding on the village wall, and Jiraiya and Tsunade did not call him to appear.

Tsunade thought Orochimaru had his own considerations, but Jiraiya was so engrossed in the fight that he completely forgot about Orochimaru.

"Fire Style! Flame Bullet! Hahaha! Let me show you Master Jiraiya's ninjutsu! I'm going to explode!"

"Fire bomb! Fire bomb! Fire bomb!!!"

Jiraiya freely released his chakra, seeming to be alone in the crowd.
