Chapter 47: A Melee of Three Ninjas! The So-Called World of the Strong
The atmosphere in the woods was extremely tense.
Jiraiya and Orochimaru faced off. Just then, the ground shook.
Trees nearby collapsed in patches, and a blonde woman rushed over, her face full of anger.
Senju Tsunade.
She had already left, but upon hearing the commotion, she turned back.
Orochimaru!
Tsunade was furious when she saw Orochimaru, and she was looking for an outlet for her anger after being confronted.
"You dare show your face in front of me again?"
The gathering of the three legendary ninjas is a rare sight in the ninja world.
"Now that everyone is here..."
Orochimaru licked his lips, his expression remaining calm.
"Then have some fun!"
He bit his finger, then formed hand seals: Hai, Xu, You, Shen, Wei.
"Spiritual communication!"
Jiraiya and Tsunade were not to be outdone, and at the same time they bit their fingers and slammed their palms heavily on the ground.
"Spiritual communication!"
Three enormous plumes of white smoke exploded, obscuring the sky, and a massive surge of chakra swept through the forest.
After the smoke cleared, three giant beasts appeared out of thin air.
A giant purple python, Wan She, was coiled on the ground, its body thicker than a train.
Giant toad, Bunta.
It was wearing a short jacket, had a huge pipe in its mouth, a short knife at its waist, and looked very unhappy.
The giant slug has a soft body and exudes a gentle chakra.
The once towering trees were easily broken and crushed under their feet.
"This is... the power of the Three Legendary Sannin?"
Naruto and Sasuke stood at the foot of the giant beast, their necks aching from looking up.
too big.
The visual impact was simply breathtaking, but they had no interest in appreciating it at the moment.
They felt like dwarves who had wandered into a land of giants, and could be trampled to death at any moment, as easily as a person stepping on an ant.
"Jiraiya, it's you again, you idiot."
Gamabunta exhaled a smoke ring.
"Who are we going to fight this time? That bastard Manda?"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
The ten thousand snakes roared and opened their blood-red maws.
"Orochimaru, this time I want a hundred living sacrifices!"
"no problem."
Orochimaru stood atop Manda's head, coldly watching the two below.
"Just kill them, and you can have as many as you want."
"Let's begin!"
With a flick of its tail, Mansakura's enormous body charged toward Gamabunta.
"Want to fight? Who do you think I am? I'll gladly fight you to the bitter end!"
Bunta drew his short sword and went to meet him.
The colossal beasts collided, the earth cracked, shockwaves churned, and debris flew everywhere.
Tsunade stood atop the slug's head, her hands forming hand seals.
"My tongue and teeth feel sticky and acidic!"
The slug opened its mouth and sprayed out a highly concentrated acid, covering the path that the ten thousand snakes were bound to take.
The acid spilled onto the ground, instantly corroding the rocks into a pool of yellow liquid, emitting white smoke.
The serpent twisted its body nimbly to avoid the acid, then lashed its tail at the slug.
The slug's body split into countless smaller slugs, dodging the attack, and then quickly reformed.
The three ninjas stood atop their respective summoned beasts, exchanging ninjutsu attacks.
Fire Release, Earth Release, and various colors of chakra intertwined in the air, accompanied by deafening explosions.
In Naruto and Sasuke's view, this had already transcended the level of a ninja battle, and it wasn't a matter of finding loopholes at all.
This is like gods fighting, and mortals suffer.
The two of them were hiding behind a huge rock, covered in dust and dirt.
The aftermath of the battle alone left them in a sorry state, let alone the ability to intervene.
A huge rock was blown away by the blast wave and flew towards where they were hiding.
"Be careful!"
The golden chains behind Naruto burst forth from his body, forming a Vajra Lock; he wanted to see if he could block it.
The chains shattered as soon as they touched the boulder.
Naruto couldn't block it, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. The aftershocks of the battle, which was at the level of the Sannin, were so strong that even using his best skills, he couldn't withstand it.
It's not that the Vajra Locket itself isn't strong, but rather that they are too young, and their physical and mental states are not yet fully developed.
The boulder didn't stop; it continued to fall.
"Damn it!"
Sasuke activated his Sharingan, trying to see the trajectory of the boulder and find a place to hide, but no matter how he looked, it was no use.
The boulder was so large that it covered all angles from which to dodge.
Just when the two were in despair, a giant toad's hand blocked their way.
The boulder was smashed; it was Gamabunta who came to help.
"Kids, stay away!"
Jiraiya stood on top of Bunta's head and shouted loudly.
"This level of battle is not something you can interfere with!"
Naruto and Sasuke were stunned.
They looked at the giant toad-like hand and the three ninjas engaged in a fierce battle in the distance.
A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in their hearts; they thought they had become stronger.
He fought against Root, angrily confronted the Hokage, and thought he had truly stood on the stage of the ninja world.
But now, reality has given them a slap in the face.
In the face of true powerhouses, they don't even have the right to watch.
It couldn't even stop a flying stone.
"Is this... the world of top-tier ninjas?"
Naruto wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and watched the ninjutsu clashing in the sky.
"The sky...it's so high."
Sasuke activated his Sharingan, trying to see Orochimaru's hand seals, but he only saw a blur.
Orochimaru was too fast, and with Manda's unpredictable movement, he simply couldn't keep up.
My eyes hurt, and tears streamed down my face.
"The sea... is so deep."
Sasuke lowered his head.
"We still have a long way to go."
At this moment, they finally understood Roy's true purpose in sending them.
It's not about getting them to fight, nor is it about making them heroes; the ultimate goal is probably to make them see the gap between us.
Let them know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is in this ninja world.
All the previous arrogance and self-importance vanished at this moment.
Next, they will only have a deeper desire for power, and of course, a sense of awe.
The situation on the battlefield is gradually becoming clear.
Although Orochimaru was at his peak, he couldn't gain the upper hand against the combined forces of Jiraiya and Tsunade.
Especially Tsunade, that woman's superhuman strength is terrifying.
With one punch, even the myriad snakes howled in pain, their scales shattering all over the ground.
Orochimaru, you've lost!
Tsunade roared and descended from the sky, stomping on Orochimaru.
Painful feet.
Orochimaru manipulated Manda to burrow underground, thus avoiding the fatal blow.
A huge crater was trampled into the ground.
Orochimaru emerged from another spot, looking somewhat disheveled.
He glanced around and decided he didn't want to fight anymore, not because he was really scared, but because there was no point in continuing.
If we continue fighting, even if we win, we will pay a heavy price.
Moreover, he has already achieved his goal. He has confirmed Sasuke's condition in person, and whether or not to take him away can be decided later.
He glanced at Sasuke hiding behind the rock, his eyes filled with greed.
"Sasuke-kun."
Orochimaru's voice pierced through the noise of the battlefield and clearly reached Sasuke's ears.
"Do you see that clearly? This is power."
"And only I can give you this power. That shopkeeper, Roy, is just a businessman."
He can't give you those things.
After saying that, Orochimaru rode Manda, burrowed underground, and quickly disappeared into the distance.
"Jiraiya, Tsunade, until we meet again."
"The next time we meet will be when Konoha is destroyed."
The sounds gradually faded away, and the battle between the three ninjas ended hastily, mainly because Orochimaru himself didn't want to fight anymore; he didn't want to do anything that didn't bring him any benefit.
Trees had fallen, the ground was cracked, and there were large pits and rubble everywhere.
Bunta and the slug also turned into white smoke and disappeared.
Jiraiya and Tsunade landed on the ground, slightly out of breath.
Naruto and Sasuke emerged from behind the rocks, both covered in dust and with torn clothes.
But their eyes became even more determined, eyes that had been tempered by witnessing true power.
Jiraiya patted the two of them on the shoulders.
"Are you alright?"
"We're fine."
Naruto had just finished speaking when he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
He clutched his chest, swayed, and almost fell.
"Naruto!"
Sasuke reacted quickly and caught him.
