One Dragon Tail Kick will shatter your Susanoo dream!

While Jiraiya was locked in combat with three of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

On the other side, Orochimaru, after receiving permission from Hiruzen Sarutobi, immediately got up and set off, followed by a squad from the Three Roots. Don't misunderstand, they set off together; it was just that Danzo Shimura was considering sending some of his own men to join in and gain some merit.

After all, in his opinion, even if only one of the three legendary Sannin of Konoha went, victory would be easily secured!

Orochimaru, who was rushing forward, suddenly stopped, and then a hammer-like weapon fell down on his head, smashing his skull.

Holding a blunt knife, the man wielding the grass-covered wild grass spoke with utter contempt.

"A Konoha squad that sets off at night, I thought they were some powerful individuals..."

Suddenly, a furious curse came from behind him.

"Idiot, watch out for the guy in front of you!"

Orochimaru's body suddenly turned into a puddle of mud, then suddenly sprang out from the ground, his arm transforming into a venomous snake that bit at Kusanagi.

"Damn it, Orochimaru is skilled in using snakes and is one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha."

"This village annihilation operation was truly a stroke of luck!"

Tongcao Yeyanren did not panic. He ducked to avoid the snake's bite, then swung his hammer and severed the snake's body in two.

He then lunged forward and launched a fierce attack, seemingly determined to take down Orochimaru.

The person who had spoken up earlier, wielding two swords, quickly stepped forward and stopped the Gen team, who were preparing to retreat immediately upon seeing the situation was not going well.

"This operation is top secret. We went to great lengths to wipe out your patrol team, so we can't let you leave alive!"

As a Root ninja quietly formed hand seals, preparing to unleash a ninjutsu, a tall, thin figure suddenly leaped into the middle of the squad, then brandished a strange, large sword.

A violent explosion rang out, blasting two Root ninjas to pieces. The other ninja immediately used Earth Release to escape the scene, but was suddenly impaled by a large number of hairs that appeared from the ground and was dragged to the ground in a gruesome manner.

Suigetsu Hozuki, holding an exquisite ninja sword, looked displeased.

"Hey, Jinpachi Muna, this place is very close to Konoha Village, don't make such a commotion!"

With a ferocious expression, Muli Jinba lunged at the remaining Root ninjas, retorting without showing any weakness.

"No need to worry so much, we'll kill them all sooner or later anyway!"

Of the remaining six people at the base, three calmly stepped forward.

"We'll hold them off, the three of you go back and report to Lord Danzo!"

The other squad, without hesitation, immediately teleported back towards Konoha. After running several hundred meters, they discovered that they were surrounded by densely packed Mist Ninja.

A quick glance reveals nearly two hundred people!

The Mist Ninja surrounded the Root squad but did not kill them, simply watching them silently. Soon, footsteps approached from behind, and the other party revealed a cruel smile.

"Hey, little mice, why aren't you running away?"

The Root ninjas exchanged glances, then one of them formed hand seals, and the other two stepped forward to engage in close combat, attempting to inflict damage on the pursuing Suigetsu Hobutsuki.

The opponent gathered his strength on the spot, his hair gradually hardening. Then, with a flick of his neck, countless strands of hair flew like needles, turning the two Root ninjas who stepped forward to fight into pincushions...

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

The Root ninja, wearing a half-face mask, took a deep breath and then exhaled a sharp aura similar to that of a weasel. A swirling hurricane cleaved the surrounding trees in half.

"This is a ninjutsu that Lord Danzo personally taught me! You scum from the Mist Village, die!"

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon, who had lost a section of his hair, looked ferociously at the few strands of hair on the ground with a pained expression.

"Damn it, why don't you just die already!"

"Wind Release? Great..."

Before the hand seals were even completed, a large clump of hair emerged from beneath the Root ninja's feet and pierced through him.

"Idiot, it was just to get your attention!"

Hearing the loud explosions coming from not far away, the Water Sprayer continued to explode, and Water Sprayer could only sigh and facepalm.

Having lost his ninja sword, he was not only kicked out of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, but even though he was the nominal commander, the other six completely ignored his orders. Some time ago, the ruthless duo even ignored his orders to go undercover and secretly went out to kill people for fun.

When they returned, they were covered in wounds, and Kushimaru Kurihara was almost killed. However, the two did not reveal the enemy's name. Instead, they cursed that they would take revenge, which delayed their original plan to launch a surprise attack on Konoha Village that night.

To this day, everyone is present and no one is absent. The 500 Mist Ninja who were lying in wait were also found and killed by the Konoha Anbu who were constantly patrolling the territory!

With a soft sigh, a glint of ambition flashed in Suigetsu Hobutsuki's eyes.

"While these idiots are keeping Konoha's elite forces occupied, I'll lead my men to slaughter the entire village. Lord Mizukage will surely bestow upon me even stronger ninja tools and restore my status as one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!"

"No, it's not just about his status as one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. If he completes the mission on his own, he could even compete with that baby-faced kid for the position of Fourth Mizukage!"

Suigetsu Hozuki made up his mind, then commanded the remaining Mist Ninja to ignore the roars coming from behind and head towards Konoha Village.

Before they had gotten very close, less than 10 kilometers from Konoha Village, a voice, though aged, was still full of energy.

"Since you're here, you might as well stay here with me!"

Then, a hurricane carrying flames erupted from a distance, and a composite ninjutsu was unleashed. Before the attack even reached him, Suigetsu Hobuki felt a wave of heat hit him, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

As the fire swept past, nearly half of the 200 Mist Ninja were burned to death. Just as Suigetsu Hobuki unfolded his hair, which was protecting his body, an old man carrying a stick smashed down on him.

With a loud "boom," the location of Suigetsu Hobutsuki suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke. At the critical moment, his Stand appeared to the side, and the stick swept across again.

The entire person, along with the ninja sword used to block the attack, was sent flying under a large tree. Several Mist Ninjas joined forces to use the Mist Concealment Technique, and a large amount of dense fog covered the location of Suigetsu Hobuki.

Then several Mist Ninjas came to him and, seeing the terrible wound on Suigetsu Hozuki's abdomen, couldn't help but swallow hard.

The exquisite ninja sword that had been blocking the attack had been split in two, one end missing, and the other part turned into countless shards that pierced into Suigetsu Hozuki's abdomen and chest!

"Damn it, you lot, get me out of here! The rest of you, hold off that old bastard!"

The Hidden Mist ninjas, shrouded in thick fog, continued their attacks on Hiruzen Sarutobi, completely unaware that their commander had already fled far away under the cover of his trusted men…

As time passed, the thick fog gradually dissipated, revealing a hellish scene inside, with countless corpses, smashed into folded screen shapes, lying at Hiruzen Sarutobi's feet.

Holding his pipe, the man exhaled a breath of stale air and watched as the Anbu captured the remaining fleeing Mist Ninja. He couldn't help but laugh at himself.

"I'm really getting old, my body isn't what it used to be..."

"I'm already feeling a bit tired after just this short time..."
