Chapter 328 - 326 Orochimaru appeared beside Tsunade

Orochimaru appeared beside Tsunade, formed the Dragon Seal with her hands, and snorted coldly. The Kunai and shuriken flew back at an even faster speed.

Just then, the water wall formed by the three Hidden Mist Ninja's combined Water Release: Water Formation Wall was breached by the flames. Instantly, they and Hozuki Kagetsu, who was pinned to the ground by the kusanagi sword behind them, were engulfed by the flames.

"Ahhhhhh—!!!"

The three Hidden Mist Ninja and Hozuki Kagetsu were instantly burned to ashes by the whitish flames. The kusanagi sword stuck in the ground was unscathed, but Orochimaru didn't want to touch it for a while.

Genjutsu?!

Tsunade suddenly found her vision distorted. Realizing she was caught in a Genjutsu, she injected Chakra into her liquid invisible glasses, reflecting the Genjutsu. She saw the Hidden Mist Ninja who had fallen into her Genjutsu and threw a Kunai with exploding tags.

As soon as that Hidden Mist Ninja dispelled the Genjutsu, he saw the Kunai with exploding tags flying towards him, his twisted face filled with terror.

"Wind Release: Swift Wind Wall! Come and witness Lord Jiraiya's signature Ninjutsu!"

Jiraiya formed the Dragon Seal with both hands. Wind Release Chakra condensed onto shuriken, forming Wind Release Saw Blades that circled around him under his control, preventing the Hidden Mist Ninja from getting close.

"Since you won't attack, then I'll attack you!"

Jiraiya charged at the Hidden Mist Ninja, controlling the Wind Release Saw Blades formed by shuriken to attack the Hidden Mist Ninja from various angles. Relying on Wind Release: Swift Wind Wall, which allowed him to freely manipulate Ninja tools, he easily killed the surrounding Hidden Mist Ninja.

To look cool and stylish, Jiraiya had diligently practiced Wind Release: Swift Wind Wall.

Suddenly, snowflakes drifted from the sky. Jiraiya leaped backward, dodging a sharp ice spike, and looked at the humanoid figure formed from ice and snow.

"Ice Release, a Yuki Clan Ninja?"

"Jiraiya, one of Konohas Sannin? You are worth killing!"

The Yuki Clan Ninja looked coldly at Jiraiya, forming hand seals. The surrounding temperature plummeted. He didn't care what happened to the Hidden Mist Ninja; his only goal was to kill Jiraiya.

"Quickly scatter!"

Jiraiya felt the sudden drop in temperature, like an early winter. Seeing the frozen ground spreading from beneath his feet, he quickly warned the surrounding Konoha Ninja.

"Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet!"

While Jiraiya controlled the Wind Release Saw Blades formed by shuriken to attack the Yuki Clan Ninja, he quickly formed hand seals. Chakra was refined into oil and ignited with Fire Release the moment it was exhaled.

The Yuki Clan Ninja dodged the Wind Release Saw Blades and immediately felt the scorching heat. Looking at the fiercely burning hot oil, he formed hand seals. Extremely cold ice and snow collided with the Great Flame Bullet.

"Impossible!"

The Yuki Clan Ninja thought his Ice Release could freeze the burning hot oil. To his surprise, the ice and snow covering the Great Flame Bullet melted, and a large amount of white steam permeated the area. Jiraiya used the steam to form hand seals.

"The oil in the Great Flame Bullet isn't ordinary oil! Don't think your Ice Release can freeze it!"

Jiraiya's face showed a confident smile.

Crack—!

The Yuki Clan Ninja was cut into three pieces by the returning Wind Release Saw Blade, turning into ice blocks that fell into the burning hot oil and instantly melted and evaporated.

Ice blocks? So it was an Ice Clone?

Jiraiya vigilantly looked around but didn't find the Yuki Clan Ninja. Suddenly, he felt the temperature beneath his feet plummet.

"Ice Release: Ice Spikes!"

Sharp ice shards burst from the ground, piercing Jiraiya's body, and blood flowed out.

"Jiraiya, one of Konohas Sannin, is nothing more than this."

The figure of the Yuki Clan Ninja emerged from the ice, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Bang—!

Jiraiya, whose body was pierced by the Ice Spikes, turned into smoke and vanished.

"Shadow Clone?!"

The Yuki Clan Ninja realized he had been tricked and looked around.

"I'm here!"

An inconspicuous yellowish-brown toad emerged from the mud. When it opened its mouth, Jiraiya darted out from its mouth, his right arm abnormally swollen, and punched the Yuki Clan Ninja in the abdomen.

Bang—!

The Yuki Clan Ninja was completely embedded in the ice, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

Crack, crack—!

Cracks spread from the Yuki Clan Ninja. The ice shattered, and as he fell, Jiraiya swung his Kunai, severing his neck.

On a battlefield where it was kill or be killed, Jiraiya wouldn't make such a rookie mistake. He absolutely couldn't show mercy to his enemies.

"Indeed, I, who am not skilled in Medical Ninjutsu, shouldn't use this move too often..."

Jiraiya shook his unusually painful arm.

Land of Wind, Hidden Sand Village.

The Third Kazekage received Konoha's request for aid. No matter how unwilling he was, he had to dispatch Ninja troops to support Konoha.

Sunagakure and Konoha had only recently formed an alliance, and at a time like this, not helping would be inexcusable.

However, the Sunagakure forces were ambushed and intercepted by Hidden Mist forces, who had been lying in wait, before they even reached Konoha.

When the Third Kazekage received this news, his first thought was that Hidden Mist wanted to attack Sunagakure, and that the Sunagakure forces sent to support Konoha had only coincidentally encountered the Hidden Mist forces.

The Third Kazekage was puzzled. The Land of Wind was full of sand, and Hidden Sand Village was poor. Why would you attack me?

What does your Hidden Mist Village want?

This time, it wasn't about supporting Konoha, but about fighting to protect the Village. The Third Kazekage sent more Sunagakure Ninja to engage Hidden Mist.

When the Third Mizukage learned of Sunagakure's actions, he concluded that Sunagakure was genuinely allied with Konoha. This indicated that the leak of the meeting's intelligence probably had nothing to do with Sunagakure. He dispatched even more Hidden Mist forces to intercept Sunagakure's reinforcements.

Thus, Konoha was simultaneously fighting Kumogakure and Hidden Mist, and Hidden Mist was simultaneously fighting Konoha and Sunagakure. The war became a stalemate.

Although Konoha was simultaneously fighting Kumogakure and Hidden Mist, it remained wary of Iwagakure, which had not yet acted.

In the sky, a fiery red car flew. Uchiha Madara opened the car door and agilely leaped onto the roof, looking at the war below and commenting with emotion, "Si, look at that foolish war below. Hashirama changed nothing, nothing at all!"

"So, why did you bring me to this barbaric battlefield? To show me how great your Eye of the Moon Plan is? Don't you know my time is extremely precious?"
