Chapter 125: A Sharp Turn for the Worse (Part 1)

Han's steam taijutsu spurts and jumps at a speed that is almost too fast for the naked eye to catch. It carries a huge impact. Orochimaru doesn't wait for a reaction before he pounces on him.

Amidst the loud noise, Orochimaru, who was standing on the head of the brown snake, had no time to respond and was crushed by the red cannonball together with the ferocious brown snake at his feet.

Boom!

This blow was like a meteorite falling to the ground!

On the battlefield, the other Konoha ninjas who were far away felt faintly in fear after witnessing this scene. What kind of strange power is this? I'm afraid its power is no less powerful than Tsunade-sama's taijutsu attack...

It's hard to imagine whether the target could survive such an attack.

Strangely, as the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, only the remains of Han and the brown snake that had been blown to the ground were revealed on the ground.

The brown snake suffered severe injuries. Its head had exploded and blood was splattered. It was dying. However, Orochimaru, who was under attack, seemed to be missing.

"Is this... a snake clone?"

Within the smoke and dust, the figure in red armor gradually became clearer. Han stood on the remains of the slowly dying brown snake, looking around in confusion. When his eyes caught a glimpse of Orochimaru's body that had been hit, and suddenly turned into several dead snakes strangely, he felt a little more wary.

Sure enough, the one hit by the jet jump was just the clone.

Click, click, click.

The next second, something even weirder happened. I saw the brown snake that was about to die, its huge broken snake head suddenly twitching, and then the mouth of the snake's head that was supposed to have lost its vitality slowly opened, and then a human figure crawled out from it.

"It's really a good power. Steam Body Technique really deserves its reputation..."

Apart from some mucus still staining his body, Orochimaru emerged from the snake's mouth almost unscathed. First, he stood up calmly, and then turned his approving eyes to Han.

With an evil smile, Orochimaru looked at the Five-Tails Jinchuuriki in front of him with interest. What finally caught his attention was the red armor. He has already discovered that Han's armor is not ordinary. After all, it must be able to withstand the high temperature and pressure of steam, and it must also be able to withstand high-intensity impact. Only by being able to do these two things at the same time can Han be able to use this strange power.

After hesitating for a moment, Orochimaru no longer held back. He opened his mouth and spit out a delicate long sword, holding it in his hand...

…

On the other side of the frontal battlefield in the Country of Grass, the battle was even more intense.

The main force of Konoha and the reinforcements that came later had already gathered together. Their offensive was fierce, and the Allied Forces of Iwa Ninja and Grass Ninja were defeated somewhat. Although it was two against one, the whole battle of the village was still involved in this battle. strength, so even if the Iwa Ninja has assistance, it is still difficult to defeat the Konoha army.

In this snow-white wilderness, various small ninjutsu and blood are blooming continuously, people are constantly falling, and lives are constantly passing away. When the chakra is exhausted, use ninja tools; when the ninja tools are exhausted, use physical combat.

Ninja group wars usually only use large-scale ninjutsu to attack each other during the confrontation stage.

Once you enter a melee, you will not use large-scale ninjutsu under normal circumstances. One of the reasons for doing this is to prevent accidental damage to friendly forces, and the other is to save chakra.

But there are exceptions to everything, and somewhere in this fierce battlefield, there is a strange no-man's land.

Magma and flames crisscrossed the area, almost changing the entire landscape. The snow originally covering the wilderness had melted in large areas, exposing the charred turf soil.

This purgatory-like environment was of course caused by a large range of ninjutsu.

Regardless of whether they are Iwa ninjas or Konoha ninjas, almost everyone knows that in this restricted area, the two of them are fighting with the highest combat power, the four-tailed Jinchuuriki Lao Murasaki, and Jiraiya, one of the legendary three ninjas.

Swish——

On the scorched earth, a figure whose whole body was wrapped in high-temperature lava flames was running rapidly.

Its target is the white-haired middle-aged man who keeps dodging.

Watching Lao Zi in Melting Chakra Mode, he kept attacking fiercely. Jiraiya was already a little confused in dealing with it. It had to be said that it was really difficult for him to deal with this four-tailed Jinchuuriki who was experienced in combat.

The flame temperature of Melting Escape is much higher than that of ordinary Fire Escape.

Jiraiya happened to be only good at Fire Release and Earth Release Ninjutsu, so when faced with Lao Zi's Melt Release Ninjutsu, he would naturally be at a disadvantage in a head-to-head fight, because most of his Ninjutsu were unable to resist the Melt Release Ninjutsu. of high temperature.

However, in the battle between the two sides, so far, neither of them has used their full strength. At this time, the two of them are more concerned about the battle situation not far away.

After once again embarrassingly dodging the attack of Lao Zi, whose whole body was covered in lava flames, Jiraiya quickly glanced into the distance and found that the Iwa Ninja was indeed in a state of defeat. Although the Grass Ninja came to help, Konoha's overwhelming power , they are still unable to resist.

After feeling slightly relieved, Jiraiya couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Old Purple-senpai, you Iwa ninjas are probably going to lose..."

On the scorched earth, the flames covering Lao Zi's body suddenly slowly dissipated, revealing an old man with red hair and a red beard wearing a rock ninja forehead protector.

He also looked into the distance and found that, as Jiraiya said, the defeat of the Iwa Ninja and Grass Ninja allies was becoming more and more obvious, but strangely, there was no trace of worry in his expression. .

“I’m afraid that may not be the case.

You know, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. "

Lao Zi suddenly smiled faintly, revealing an unfathomable look.

For ninjas of their level, unless they hold the intention to kill and exert all their abilities without reservation, it is absolutely difficult to determine the winner. Both of them also know that their respective tasks are just to contain the other.

One person stopped, and the other was happy to take a breath.

However, Lao Zi's calmness still made Jiraiya feel suspicious.

As the commander of the front battlefield, the sudden participation of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki and the Kusanagi troops had already caught him off guard. But knowing that his side was showing signs of defeat, he was not anxious at all. Could there be any cunning tricks?

Of course, Jiraiya is also a man of rich experience. He knows that the other party may be pretending to be calm. He wants to test it out. Suddenly, he said with a slightly disdainful tone: "That's true, but it only took a moment for Konoha to defeat the Rock Ninja on the Grass Country front. I really don't see what you can rely on, Senior Zi."

"Hehe, Jiraiya, although you are an excellent ninja, unfortunately you are not an outstanding strategist."

Old Zi smiled complacently, and then said meaningfully: "The battlefield I'm talking about is not just the Grass Country front."

"Besides, take a good look. With the help of the Grass Ninja, it is impossible to defeat us in an instant..."

Jiraiya clearly felt that the other party was probably not bluffing. Although he was not proficient in strategy, he suddenly felt a crisis, but he couldn't detect where this crisis came from for a while.

This feeling is really unpleasant.

At this time, in Konoha Village, Minato Namikaze in the Hokage's office also received secret information sent back by Yakushi Nono using a psychic pigeon. When he read the message, his face suddenly became very ugly.

Because Nono's reply was that the Cloud Ninja had indeed been preparing for war in secret for a long time.

I'm afraid that there is a possibility of launching a war at any time...
