Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

"It's Orochimaru-sama and Tsunade!"

The Konoha ninjas recognized Orochimaru and Tsunade, and the ninjas of the Ibri clan were particularly excited to see Orochimaru.

"And I!"

The huge Toad Bunta fell from the sky with a bang, raising a large amount of smoke and dust.

"Jiraiya-sama, come on!"

Jiraiya stood on Gamabunta's back, shook his head, and stretched out his hand to make a pose that he thought was handsome.

So stupid...

Gamabunta regretted responding to Jiraiya's summons, and it would be more appropriate to let Gamaken come over.

"Well then, I'll summon the Living Slug as well. The Konoha ninjas on the battlefield need treatment."

Tsunade looked at the injured Konoha ninjas, bit her fingers, and quickly formed seals with her hands.

"Psychic art!"

boom--!

The smoke dissipated, and a huge slug appeared in everyone's sight. Tsunade stood on the slug with her arms crossed.

Xinya walked over again at an extremely fast speed, took the main C position, coiled his body and raised his neck high.

You want to go to heaven?

Orochimaru noticed that Shinga was trying hard to make himself look taller, and he didn't know where his desire to win came from.

"Orochimaru-sama, Jiraiya, Tsunade, they are all disciples of the Third Hokage!"

The Konoha ninjas recognized the identities of Jiraiya and Tsunade and cheered, while the Iwagakure ninjas seemed to lack momentum.

Lord Orochimaru?! Why don't you call me Lord Jiraiya?

When Jiraiya heard the Konoha ninja addressing Orochimaru, he felt a little dissatisfied and depressed. He thought his appearance was already stunning enough, but he quickly put this idea aside. Looking at the corpses on the battlefield, his mood became heavy.

"Cheer up! We are battle-hardened Iwagakure ninjas!"

A Iwagakure jonin roared, and all the Iwagakure ninjas roared.

"Snail, please take care of the treatment."

Tsunade formed seals with her hands, her long light yellow hair moved without wind, and she transferred most of her chakra to the living slug.

"Leave Tsunade-sama to me."

The slug split into countless small slugs and crawled onto the bodies of every Konoha ninja, healing their wounds.

It was the first time for the Konoha ninja to see a slug. They were a little resistant at first, but after knowing the function of the little slug, they wanted to carry a few more with them. Who can refuse the personal treatment of a medical ninja!

"Earth Release: Gangli Style Technique!"

The Iwagakure ninjas worked together to perform the Earth Style: Gouri Style technique, and the Earth Style chakra injected into the earth created a huge rock monster, which punched Gamabunta and Shinga.

Xinya's tail hit the rock giant, and then his body wrapped around the rock giant, trying to crush it.

"Xinya, let it go!"

When Orochimaru saw Shinya's actions, he quickly reminded him that how could such a huge rock monster be crushed so easily, and he was not afraid that the rock monster would use it as a skipping rope.

When Xinya heard what Orochimaru said, he let go of the rock monster without any hesitation. However, the rock monster still caught his tail.

"Toad cut with a short sword!"

With a flash of the knife, the rock monster's arms were cut off by the short knife in Gamabunta's hand.

A strong wind swept past, and the Iwagakure and Konoha ninjas looked at Gamabunta in shock, as he had such power with just one sword.

"Thanks, Toad!"

Toads are on Xinya's menu, but since this big toad helped it, it still has to thank it.

"Stupid snake, my name is Gamabunta! Remember that!"

Gamabunta doesn't need Xinya's thanks. If they were not in the same camp, he would never help the snake.

The soil rolled at the cuts on the rock monster's arms, and soon new arms grew out, swinging their fists to attack Xinya and Gamabunta.

"Earth Release: Rock Iron Cannon Technique!"

The pebbles spit out by the Iwagakure ninja kept getting bigger and bigger, hitting Gamabunta and Shinya continuously like real cannonballs. The damage was not high but the insult was extremely strong.

Tsunade, with lightning flashing faintly on her body, appeared above the rock monster. She strengthened her arms with Yang Release Chakra, and her arms instantly expanded, with veins bulging. She punched the rock monster on the head, and a huge crack spread.

Gamabunta and Shinya hit the rock monster almost at the same time, and Shinya wrapped around the rock monster's body and crushed it.

The Iwagakure ninja who possesses a summoning beast summons the contracted summoning beast to fight against Gamabunta and Shinya.

"The art of super doubling!"

The ninjas of the Akimichi clan transformed into giants, waving their huge fists and weapons to attack the Iwagakure ninjas and the summoned beasts that pounced on them.

"Smoke Dragon Technique!"

Several ninjas from the Ibri clan turned into smoke and condensed together to form a smoke dragon. They opened their mouths and roared as they attacked the Iwagakure ninjas.

"Tsunade, leave the frontal battle to me and Jiraiya, you are responsible for the treatment..."

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade, who was breathing slightly, and knew that most of her chakra was used to treat the wounded, and there was not much chakra left for fighting.

"Don't underestimate me!"

Tsunade interrupted Orochimaru and clenched her fists, saying, "Even if I have very little chakra to use, I can still fight!"

"Tsunade, stay safe."

Seeing that Tsunade had made up her mind, Orochimaru stopped trying to persuade her.

Anyway, Tsunade has the Flying Thunder God technique she left behind, so if Tsunade is in danger, she can arrive at the first time.

"Wind Style: Swift Wind Control!"

Jiraiya formed the Chenyin seal with both hands, and all the kunai and shurikens flying towards Orochimaru and Tsunade stopped and flew back at a faster speed. Several Iwagakure ninjas were killed by the kunai and shurikens thrown by themselves.

With the addition of Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, the battle situation of Konoha, which already had the advantage, became even more one-sided, which was overwhelmingly disadvantageous to Iwagakure.

Volume 169: Chapter : The Third Tsuchikage vs. the Third Hokage

The Iwagakure troops, who were at a disadvantage, had to fight and retreat at the same time. Konoha naturally would not let them leave, so they chased the Iwagakure troops to the Land of Earth and fought with them in the desolate rocky desert.

When Ohnoki learned that Iwagakure was at such a disadvantage on the front line and had even reached the Land of Earth, he immediately decided to lead the Iwagakure troops to the front line to provide support. This move was also to force the Hokage of Konoha to come out and fight him head-on.

If he wins the battle between Kage-level warriors, then all of Konoha's resistance will be in vain.

When Konoha learned that the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki was going to the battlefield in person, Sarutobi Hiruzen, as the Hokage, naturally could not sit idly by in the back. After giving the order for the ninjas fighting on the front line to retreat, he got up and rushed to the battlefield.

"Huruzen, I'm coming too!"

Danzo Shimura didn't want to sit in the command room anymore, so he left the command to Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu. He would rather go to the battlefield and kill the enemy, not for the position of Hokage, but for Konoha!

"Danzo, you stay and protect Konoha. Don't forget that Kumogakure, Sand Village, and Mist Village haven't taken any action yet. If they do, Konoha will depend on you!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want Shimura Danzo to go to the battlefield, but he was worried that the three major ninja villages that had been inactive would suddenly take action.

"I see."

Danzo Shimura sat back with a sour face. He had to admit that Sarutobi Hiruzen's worries were not unreasonable. When he thought about the war on the front line, he felt uncomfortable sitting here.

Why should I be the Hokage's assistant?!

Danzo Shimura asked himself more than once in his heart, if he were not assisted by the Hokage, he would be shining on the battlefield now, instead of sitting in the command room and wasting his life.

Sitting in the command room without giving any orders, Danzo Shimura felt like a decoration.

On the battlefield of the Land of Earth, the Konoha ninja received the order to retreat and immediately chose to retreat.

How could the Iwagakure ninja, who had been suppressed and was full of anger, let the Konoha ninja retreat?

Shouting to keep the Konoha ninjas here!

"Earth Release: Rock Iron Cannon Technique!"

"Earth Release·Rock Stealing Stick!"

The Iwagakure ninjas used long-range earth-style ninjutsu to attack the retreating Konoha ninjas, and many of the Iwagakure ninjas seemed to sink into the ground as if the ground beneath their feet had turned into liquid as they chased after the Konoha ninjas.

The Konoha ninjas fought and retreated, and the Iwagakure ninjas chased them all the way to the border of Taki Country.

"Orochimaru, Tsunade, it seems our luck is really bad..."

Jiraiya looked at the Iwagakure ninjas who had surrounded them, took out a military ration pill, chewed it, and swallowed it.

"It's not that we are unlucky, it's that they are unlucky."

It seemed as if a white snake made of flesh and blood was wrapped around Orochimaru's arm, opened its mouth and spit out the hilt of the Kusanagi sword. Orochimaru grasped the hilt and pulled out the Kusanagi sword. Even she could not bear the continuous battle.

She was very tired after not resting for so long.

However, compared to her who often created multiple shadow clones for research, Tsunade and Jiraiya were more tired.

"Indeed, they were just unlucky and chose the wrong opponent."

Tsunade used Lightning Release: Thunder Extreme Moxibustion, and lightning flashed faintly on her body. She punched an Iwagakure ninja with extremely fast speed, and the Iwagakure ninja's abdomen was deeply sunken and he spit out blood. He kept attacking other Iwagakure ninjas.

"Turong Tulong Spear!"

"The Art of Chaosing Lion's Hair"

Jiraiya jumped up to avoid the sharp rocks that broke out of the ground. He formed seals with his hands, and his long white hair grew longer and wrapped around the Iwagakure ninja, suddenly tightening, but it was the clods of earth that were crushed.

A clay substitute?

Jiraiya waved his hand and threw out two shurikens, forming the Chenyin seal with both hands. The wind chakra condensed on the shurikens to form a wind saw disk that passed through the trunk of the big tree in front, splitting the Iwagakure ninja hiding behind into two halves. The other wind saw disk formed by the other shuriken flew towards another Iwagakure ninja.

Did the Konoha ninja escape here?

Ohnoki flew to the border of Taki Country in the air and saw Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Tsunade fighting with the Iwagakure ninja.

The Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki, has arrived on the battlefield so soon?

Orochimaru noticed Ohnoki flying in the air. She expected Ohnoki to come to the battlefield, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

Is she the Orochimaru who developed the regeneration pill...

Konoha is really generous, actually sending such an important person to the front line!

A murderous intent flashed in Ohnoki's eyes. He clapped his hands and a white light formed a cube barrier in his hands and shot out.

You used Dust Release on me right away?!

Orochimaru saw the cube barrier flying over, used the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear behind an Iwagakure ninja, and kicked him into the cube barrier.

The Iwagakure ninja realized that he was in a cube barrier and shouted something to Ohnoki, but his voice could not be heard from the cube barrier.

Has it been discovered?

Ohnoki canceled his Dust Release, and the cube barrier disappeared. The Iwagakure ninja, who had saved his life, quickly distanced himself from Orochimaru.

Was that just now... the Flying Thunder God Technique of the Second Hokage?

Ohnoki recognized that the instant body movement technique used by Orochimaru was the Flying Thunder God Technique of Senju Tobirama, but he didn't know that the Flying Thunder God Technique was a space-time ninjutsu, and thought it was an extremely fast instant body movement technique.

"Orochimaru!"

Jiraiya and Tsunade came to Orochimaru's side and looked at the short middle-aged man flying in the sky. They saw the scene just now clearly.

Jiraiya said solemnly, "Is he the Ōnoki, known as the Two Libras by the Third Tsuchikage?"

"It seems we are in trouble."

Tsunade also realized how terrifying the enemy they were facing this time was.

"Third Tsuchikage, your opponent is not us, but our teacher."

Orochimaru looked up at Ohnoki flying in the air, and sensed the familiar chakra approaching at an extremely fast speed. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and before he finished speaking, the rotating Vajra Ruyi Staff flew over from a distance.

Is that the Vajra Ruyi Staff, the summoning beast passed down from generation to generation by the Sarutobi clan?

"Earth Release·Rock Fist Technique!"

Ohnoki's right fist, covered with rock, swung and collided with the Vajra Ruyi Stick.

The sound of golden swords rang out, and the Vajra Ruyi Stick flew back, opening one eye and looking at Ohnoki in horror.
