Chapter 124: Grass Ninja Joins the Battle
The Five-Tails Jinchuriki appeared here, and even Orochimaru was slightly surprised.
According to the plan, the commander of the Rock Ninja, the Five-Tails Han, should have been defeated by the fierce offensive launched by the Konoha army led by Jiraiya on the front battlefield.
It was indeed very strange that the commander was not in charge of the front battlefield.
Could it be that the containment tactics were too successful, and even the enemy's main force and commander were attracted? But no matter how you think about it, this seems unlikely...
On the tall earth flow wall, Han was wearing a fiery red armor and a hat, reflecting a dazzling light under the sunlight.
And he didn't seem to be in a hurry to launch an attack immediately at this time, just letting the Rock Ninjas who kept coming from behind jump down from above to join the battlefield.
"Sir Orochimaru, the battle on the front line should be very exciting now, so you don't need to worry about it..." Han looked at Orochimaru from under the red hat, but he seemed calm.
After hearing this, Orochimaru frowned even more.
At the same time, he couldn't help but be suspicious. Could the Rock Ninja have any special means to deal with the main force of Konoha led by Jiraiya on the front battlefield?
But Han, who appeared in front of him, should be the only high-end combat force of the opponent. If he didn't go to the front, the Rock Ninja would only lose more miserably...
Could it be? !
As if he had guessed Orochimaru's thoughts, Han, who was standing on the earth flow wall, suddenly smiled complacently, and then began to stretch his muscles and bones, and at the same time said shockingly: "It seems that you may have guessed it, Mr. Orochimaru."
"Of course, the one who can stop the three ninjas Jiraiya is Senior Old Purple..."
The Land of Earth has two tailed beasts, the four-tailed and the five-tailed, and the strength of the two Jinchūriki is well-known. This is a well-known fact.
Although Han's explanation was understated, it had a great impact on the ninjas of Konoha, including Orochimaru. The momentum, which was already somewhat declining, fell to the bottom at this time.
Hearing that the Four-Tails Old Purple suddenly joined the battle, the captain of the fourth squad beside Orochimaru couldn't help but change his expression.
As the squad leader, he knew the strategic plan that the headquarters had already formulated. There is no doubt that the situation has changed now. Before the combat meeting, there was no news in the intelligence that the long-missing Four-Tails Old Purple would join the battle.
No wonder the front-line commander Han of the Rock Ninja appeared here. It turned out that even the Four-Tails Jinchuriki was secretly found.
When all the ninjas of Konoha were panicking, Orochimaru's mind was turning very quickly. He immediately regained his composure and asked with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, you should have secretly recalled the Four-Tails Jinchuriki during the confrontation some time ago, right?"
"I admit that the Four-Tails Jinchuriki can indeed stop Jiraiya, but don't forget that Konoha's reinforcements this time have invested all the remaining combat power."
"If you only rely on one Four-Tails Jinchuriki, I'm afraid it won't be able to change the situation, so your Rock Ninja is doomed to fail."
After all, Orochimaru is experienced and knows more about the strategic plan of Konoha headquarters. He immediately analyzed the situation.
He knew that all the combat power invested by Konoha in this battle was enough to completely defeat the entire Rock Ninja line, so it was only a matter of time to win the war. In the face of the absolute strength of the village, the combat power of a single person was still difficult to change the situation.
Unless it is a monster like Golden Flash who can use space ninjutsu...
"Hahaha, it seems that your Konoha has been seriously injured after the Nine-Tails Rebellion.
Even the intelligence work is not as sharp as before."
Han suddenly laughed roughly, and then released a shocking news: "Sure enough, you still don't know that the Kusagakure has sent troops to form an alliance with us."
As he spoke, a subtle explosion began to sound faintly in a special device behind his red armor. Only those who are familiar with him know that it is a sign that the Five-Tails Jinchuriki is manipulating steam and is about to launch a special physical technique.
After these words came out, the calmness on Orochimaru's face finally disappeared for a moment, and then turned into a strange indifference.
At this point, he had already expected in his heart that the strategic plan of Konoha headquarters to fight quickly and decisively this time might not get the expected results. Although Kusagakure is a small village with not many ninjas, if it joins hands with Rock Ninja, it will inevitably affect the war situation. But for him, this obviously doesn't matter. In fact, if it weren't for Minato Namikaze, who united with the high-level officials as the Hokage and forced the three ninjas to stay in Konoha, he would have been at ease to do the reincarnation forbidden technique, and he would not have had the time to waste time here.
So in a sense, Orochimaru didn't care about the outcome of the war.
Seeing the steam and smoke behind Han, Orochimaru, who was closely watching the movements of Han on the earth flow wall, had secretly prepared for the battle at this time. It was not easy for him to deal with the physical ninja.
However, on the surface, Orochimaru still said jokingly: "Tsk tsk, I don't know what kind of benefits you rock ninjas promised to let the grass ninjas send troops to help."
Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, the captain of the fourth team who was struggling to deal with the continuous influx of rock ninjas next to the giant snake finally became anxious. He looked at the continuous decrease of Konoha ninjas nearby and realized that if he didn't retreat, he might be wiped out here.
He couldn't help but remind Orochimaru: "Lord Orochimaru, the number of enemies is too large, please don't fight."
It was a good thing that he didn't remind him. As soon as he reminded Orochimaru on the top of the giant snake, he suddenly remembered that there were many oil bottles next to him. After thinking that although their surprise attack was successful in tactics, it was meaningless in strategy, Then he suddenly changed his mind and said: "At this time, we can't evacuate immediately."
"The greater the number of rock ninjas, the greater our containment effect. We now have to delay as much time as possible for the frontal battlefield."
This..., isn't this dying in vain?
The captain of the fourth team's heart sank. Although he wanted to question Orochimaru, he didn't dare.
He actually knew very well that with Orochimaru's strength, he wouldn't be able to leave without wanting to leave at that time, but he didn't know how many of them, Chuunin and Jonin, would be able to go back alive. In his opinion, they would continue to stay anyway. It is not a wise choice to contain the enemy.
After reluctantly taking back the special whistle in his hand, the Konoha jounin had no choice but to turn around and continue to throw himself into the battlefield with the hope of death.
Woo——
On the earth flow wall, the steam device behind Han seemed to have reached its maximum power at this time.
Thick smoke was spraying out in huge amounts, as if he was carrying a volcano. Suddenly, his right foot suddenly stepped on the ground. The earth flow wall under his feet cracked a large area in an instant, and almost at the same time, his entire body was shot like electricity. pop up.
Like a red cannonball, it hit where Orochimaru was in an instant.
