“You sneaking rats, forget about him! Kill the small fry on the other side first!”
Gougan couldn’t be bothered to waste his energy on a Chunin who only knew how to run away, his hands moving so fast they left afterimages.
“Earth Release: Flying Rock Barrage!”
Gougan took a deep breath and spat out dozens of heavy, watermelon-sized rocks, which rained down like dense, heavy artillery shells upon the exhausted Konoha Chunin.
The remaining Konoha Chunin had long since bottomed out their Chakra, and facing such wide-range bombardment, they could only despairingly search for cover.
“Earth Release: Rock Land Return!”
A low shout suddenly came from the ground.
Two thick, hard rock walls instantly rose from the ground, blocking the Konoha group.
The Konoha Chunin seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving straw, huddling behind the stone walls.
Rinya poked his head out from the ground, gritting his teeth to maintain the defense.
However, the offensive Ninjutsu of a Jonin was simply too powerful.
The B-rank defensive stone wall only lasted three or four seconds before it was smashed to pieces with a few deafening roars.
Exposed to the attack range, the Konoha Chunin could only roll away in a sorry state.
But three elite Iwagakure Chunin had already been waiting.
The moment the stone wall shattered, the three simultaneously slammed their hands onto the ground.
“Earth Release: Earth Arrow Rain!”
Dense, sharp mud arrows poured down like a rainstorm, completely cutting off everyone’s retreat.
Rinya was just about to grit his teeth and unleash another Earth Style: Earth Wall to take the hit, when, at that critical moment!
A violent hurricane suddenly swept across the field, directly blowing away the mud arrows dancing in the sky and slamming them back into the Iwagakure camp.
Gougan and the others were caught off guard and forced to defend.
“Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!”
Along with the lingering power of the Ninjutsu, a massive, terrifying giant snake flicked its scarlet tongue, crushing trees along its path as it slithered over at high speed.
Standing steadily on top of the giant snake were a few figures.
Rinya’s Sharingan instantly locked onto the leader at the front.
With pale skin and golden, slit snake eyes revealing a bone-chilling murderous intent, it was none other than the highest commander on the front line—Orochimaru!
And behind Orochimaru, Rinya also spotted a familiar figure.
Senju Nawaki!
This was his future brother-in-law!
The giant snake entered the fray violently, instantly turning the tide of the battle.
Kitsuchi, who was attacking wildly, had his expression change drastically.
He immediately abandoned Senju Ken and the others, leaping back to the Iwagakure camp, staring at the man on the giant snake with an ugly expression.
“Kitsuchi of Iwagakure, such great prestige.”
Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue and licked his pale lips, “Coming to the Land of Fire to run wild, do you really think there is no one in Konoha who can kill you?” Find the original chapter at novelping . com.
“Orochimaru, do you think you can keep me here alone? Dreaming!”
Kitsuchi stared at his old rival Orochimaru with a gloomy face, his skin taut, and his eyes filled with disdain.
Taking advantage of the standoff, Senju Ken and the others quickly increased the distance between them.
The big shots had entered the fray; they were low on health and didn’t need to throw their lives away.
Seeing the situation was bad, Gougan also retreated to Kitsuchi’s side with the three elite Chunin.
Although Kitsuchi was stubborn, he knew in his heart that since Orochimaru had appeared, there was absolutely no chance of devouring this Konoha elite squad today.
Both of them were on the verge of the Kage level, and if they really fought, they were evenly matched; neither could do anything to the other.
Just as Orochimaru was about to retort, his golden snake eyes narrowed, as if he had sensed something.
A smirk curled at the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Kitsuchi with amusement.
“I alone might not be enough, but what if you add her?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a crisp voice came from the woods behind.
In the blink of an eye, a tall, fiery figure landed steadily beside Orochimaru.
“Sister! Why are you here too!”
Senju Nawaki saw the person who arrived and shouted in pleasant surprise.
Rinya, hiding in the ground, almost couldn’t help but exclaim out loud.
Tsunade!
Going out today was definitely a stroke of incredible luck.
The brother-in-law and the future wife appeared one after another; the system was practically feeding him success!
“Lady Tsunade, you ran too fast, we almost lost you!”
Behind Tsunade, Inuzuka Tsume and Aburame Shibi finally arrived at the battlefield with a few panting Konoha Genin.
“Tch, clearly you guys were just too slow.”
Tsunade waved her hand nonchalantly, her whole being exuding a straightforward energy.
“Nawaki, Orochimaru. We can chat later, let’s kill these Iwagakure scumbags first!”
Tsunade was eager to try, staring at Kitsuchi as if looking at prey.
Kitsuchi looked at the newly arrived Senju Tsunade, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
The direct disciple of Konoha’s Third Hokage!
The Iwagakure Intelligence Department had long since figured out her background.
There were now two Kage-level monsters on the other side, plus five Jonin!
How could he fight this?
As for the remaining Konoha Genin and Chunin, Kitsuchi ignored them entirely.
“Tsunade, this big guy isn’t easy to mess with, be careful.”
Senju Ken looked at the high-spirited Tsunade and couldn’t help but remind her.
Tsunade’s eyes were bright, full of confidence.
“Sister, be careful!”
Nawaki shouted worriedly from the side.
Rinya, underground, had his Sharingan locked onto her.
The Tsunade before him was wearing a gray, tight-fitting combat suit.
Although she didn’t have the absurdly mature charm she would have in over a decade, this youthful and vibrant body was simply a fatal poison.
The tight fabric perfectly outlined the girl’s budding, graceful curves, with a slender waist and long legs.
She had not yet experienced the psychological trauma of losing loved ones, her eyes were clear, her personality was sunny and sharp, and she radiated a unique and charming confidence.
Rinya’s eyes lit up, completely exposing his lecherous nature.
Have children!
Must have children!
Not just to complete the system task, but for this sunshine and this superb, hot figure, he had to completely win over this rose with thorns!
However, rushing out to be a sycophant now would definitely not work; he had to find a way to make a stunning entrance so that the Princess would remember him deeply.
“Tsunade, you are still so impatient. Didn’t you notice that the people opposite are already a pile of dummies?”
Orochimaru looked at the Iwagakure camp with amusement.
Tsunade and the others were stunned and turned to look.
They saw that the bodies of Kitsuchi, Gougan, and the others were turning into piles of soft mud at a visible speed, crumbling to the ground.
“Orochimaru! You saw it early, why didn’t you say so!”
Tsunade stomped her feet in anger.
This was completely unlike Orochimaru’s style.
“You just arrived at the front line, so you don’t know. The Jonin leading the team is nicknamed ‘The Groundhog’. It’s not hard to repel him, but to kill or capture him, no one here has that ability.”
Orochimaru explained in a flat tone.
In fact, Orochimaru knew it clearly.
If they really fought to the death, Kitsuchi’s desperate counterattack would definitely affect Nawaki, who only had the strength of a Genin.
The current Orochimaru valued Nawaki, his disciple, very much, and would never take that risk.
In the original work, it was also because of Nawaki’s death in battle that Orochimaru’s faith in the fragility of life was shaken, eventually leading him astray.
“You guy is really…”
Tsunade was speechless with anger, but she also understood that what Orochimaru said was the truth, and could only mutter a few words of dissatisfaction.
Takagi, Senju Ken, and the others in the rear finally let their suspended hearts return to their chests.
Except for Rinya, who was hiding underground, they were all out of Chakra and injured.
If they really had to keep fighting to the death, they would definitely be the first batch of cannon fodder to fall.
