"Spiritualism!"
As the battlefield moved away from the camp, Orochimaru and his two companions bit their index fingers to form hand seals.
The next moment, three enormous creatures slowly appeared in the heavy rain.
"Lady Tsunade, what are your instructions?" the slug asked softly.
"Please, Slug-sama, help heal the Konoha ninjas on the battlefield." Tsunade wasn't insisting on having Slug join the battle, but rather using her to provide healing.
There are already enough summoned beasts on site; any more would be of little use, so it's better to make the best use of them.
As soon as Tsunade finished speaking, the giant slug split into countless smaller slugs that joined the battlefield.
Even Fu Heiyao's shoulder was quietly covered by a small slug.
"Lord Yao, it's been a long time." The slug greeted Fu Heiyao warmly.
"Long time no see, little slug." Fu Heiyao smiled calmly.
Ever since he and Orochimaru discovered through the flesh and blood of the Manda that natural energy might increase the trigger probability and even the power of the expanding Rasengan, he has become increasingly eager for Sage Mode.
This concerns his subjugation of the demon Xu Luo.
Although the initial plan was to use the Ten Shadows Technique to subdue Demon Void, the more trump cards that could instantly defeat Demon Void, the better.
After all, the subjugation ceremony can only be performed once. If he were killed by Moxu Luo, wouldn't he have to sit at the same table as Fushiguro Megumi?
"Summonings have been quite frequent lately, Jiraiya." Gamabunta puffed on his pipe, but the moment he appeared, he instinctively gripped the hilt of his sword, ready for battle at any moment.
"Lord Yao."
After Manda appeared, he ignored Orochimaru and instead looked at Fukuyo immediately, his tone carrying a hint of flattery and fear.
It's impossible not to be afraid. Ever since being beaten by Fu Heiyao, Manda has been as if he's been haunted by a ghost.
Whenever he tried to refuse Orochimaru and Nawaki's summoning, those Sharingan eyes followed him like a ghost, relentlessly controlling him.
Then he was summoned by default, and over time, Manda resigned himself to his fate.
Since Orochimaru doesn't summon many times anyway, let's just consider it as being bitten by a dog.
"You stinking snake, you actually submit to someone?" Gamabunta was surprised by Manda's attitude, after all, it had been asking for sacrifices all the time, showing no regard for its contractors.
He followed the gaze of the ten thousand snakes and was shocked by what he saw.
"Such an evil chakra surge... Is that the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan?"
Gamabunta stared at Fukuyo's constantly spinning three-tomoe Sharingan, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
He was utterly shocked, for at that moment Fu Heiyao was enveloped inside a half-skeletal giant.
Above its head floated an armored creature, and beneath its feet was a worm also clad in dark red armor, its entire body brimming with immense chakra.
One person with two spiritual connections is truly armed to the teeth.
Seemingly noticing Gamabunta's gaze, Fukuyo glanced at him.
Because of the Great Toad Sage in the original work, he paid some attention to the so-called Mount Myōboku.
But with just a glance, Gamabunta almost drew his sword.
"Jiraiya, is this the enemy you are meant to fight?"
It's no wonder that Toad Wen overthinks things; Fu Heiyao's aura is just too terrifying.
"Gamabunta, these are friendly forces! Don't shoot the wrong people, or Tsunade will beat me to death!"
"Hmph, is that all you've got, Jiraiya?" Bunta quickly changed the subject by joking with Jiraiya.
Wen Tai tried his best not to look at Fu Heiyao, but he couldn't hide his shock.
Is this level of chakra truly achievable by humans?
"What an enviable foundation."
When Hanzo saw the summoning beasts summoned by Fushiko and Orochimaru, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.
The three ancient and legendary sacred sites of the ninja world are all occupied by Konoha Village alone, which is truly enviable.
Of course, the most outrageous one was Fukuyo. Although he didn't have a powerful summoning beast from the Holy Land, he directly enveloped them with Susanoo.
Faced with this armor that was almost impossible to penetrate, Hanzo had no choice but to summon two smaller salamanders to burrow underground. He then used Water Instantaneous Movement to coordinate with the salamanders hidden underground to fight a guerrilla war with the four of them.
Fortunately, even Manda and Gamabunta are not immune to the toxins of the salamander.
Furthermore, Hanzo's various water-style techniques were brought to their fullest potential in the torrential rain.
Even facing encirclement from all sides, Hanzo was under immense pressure, feeling like the sky was about to fall, but he still managed to hold on.
In order to prevent the Water Piercing Technique from killing the Salamander again, Hanzo had to focus most of his energy on Fukuro.
While dodging the Susanoo sword energy unleashed by Fukuyo, he used various water-style techniques and explosive tags to disrupt his judgment.
Until Fu Heiyao noticed something was amiss.
Hanzo suddenly appeared beside him, his giant scythe wrapped in a layer of high-pressure water jets resembling a chainsaw.
"Didn't expect that, did you, kid?" In the rain, a cold glint flashed, and the skeletal Susanoo was torn open by the sudden cold light.
Through the gleaming scythe, Fukuko could see the ecstasy in Hanzo's eyes.
"In order to break your chakra armor, I have spent almost all of my time in the secret room practicing this Water Release technique."
"This technique was created based on your Second Hokage's Water Release secret technique. Can you withstand it?!"
Hanzo instantly dodged the Susanoo's thrust and charged into Fukuko's side like an arrow released from a bow.
The giant scythe, now attached to the high-speed water flow, resembled the scythe of death, slashing horizontally towards Fu Heiyao.
"That's more like it, Hanzo. Before, you didn't even interest me." As Hanzo tore Susanoo apart, Fukuyo laughed instead of getting impatient.
He simply withdrew Susanoo and simultaneously released the "Full Elephant" technique, focusing all his energy on controlling the chakra of "Tiger Burial".
The cursed facial makeup from Su Nuo instantly appeared.
"This is the real battle! Come and fight, Hanzo!"
Fu Heiyao's body was crackling with intense electricity, and his fist was wrapped with the strongest slash, which hurtled towards Hanzo with a gust of wind that could tear everything apart.
The next moment, the giant scythe and the fist collided head-on.
The two unrestrained slashes collided, and in that instant, it seemed as if even space itself was cleaved in two. The already disintegrating Susanoo was instantly cut in half at the waist, and even the continuous heavy rain paused for a moment.
A cold glint flashed in Hanzo's eyes. He didn't think that a mere flesh and blood body could withstand his slash, which could even cut through Susanoo.
As expected, after Hanzo's strongest slash, a line of blood suddenly appeared on Fukuyo's shoulder.
However, the smile in Hanzo's eyes vanished abruptly the next second, because as Fukuyo's arm was severed, the hilt of the sword he was holding also broke off.
The cross slash tore through Hanzo's cloak and armor, then pierced his chakra defenses like a sharp knife, penetrating deep into his bones and flesh.
Hanzo coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The blood blossoms blooming from his chest and the water needles that had been formed by hand seals were wiped away by an invisible force and reduced to ashes when they reached Fu Heiyao.
Under the control of Fukuko, a dense barrage of slashes rained down on Hanzo from the sky.
Hanzo's pupils contracted sharply, and disregarding his injuries, he forcefully used the Body Flicker Technique to get away.
But then he discovered that the worst was yet to come, because the worm with a mouthful of sharp teeth under Fu Heiyao's feet disappeared as he fought it.
"Oh no, a salamander!" Hanzo reacted quickly, calling for the salamander to rise to the surface, but it was too late.
The next moment, the earth cracked open, and the muddy soil was stirred up and then shattered with a roar.
The salamander, which was originally supposed to spew poison mist to support Hanzo, appeared ahead of schedule, along with the relentless throat that was tearing at the salamander.
The relentless throat tightly gripped the salamander, its binding properties derived from the toad and the giant snake preventing its escape, while the teeth, originating from the jade dog, frantically tore at the salamander's flesh.
Before long, the giant salamander could no longer maintain the contract and was severely damaged and disappeared.
The other two salamanders were also taken away by Manda and Gamabunta in one fell swoop, turning into white mist and disappearing.
And Fu Heiyao...
When Hanzo saw Fukuyo pick up the arm from the ground and forcibly attach it to the severed arm for healing, his pupils contracted.
Although I knew that Konoha's medical ninjutsu was powerful, I didn't expect it to be this powerful.
"You forced me to do this!" Hanzo thought to himself, a fierce glint in his eyes.
He had to be anxious; if he continued fighting like this, his chakra would eventually run out, and if he lost, Amegakure would be doomed.
Hanzo wiped the blood from his chest with his fingers, his chakra rapidly depleting.
The next moment, a salamander, larger than both Manda and Gamabunta, appeared, its body covered in vibrant colors.
The spotted salamander tore through the white mist, and wisps of purplish-black poisonous gas flowed from the corners of its mouth.
"Hanzo, you know the conditions for summoning me." Unlike other salamanders, the spotted salamander was not ignorant; instead, it spoke in human language.
"One hundred salamanders and your partner." The spotted salamander made a request that caused Hanzo heartache.
Other salamanders don't matter, but the giant salamander grew up with him since he was a baby.
Hanzo remained expressionless and silent. The spotted salamander, clearly knowing Hanzo had tacitly agreed, chuckled twice.
The spotted salamander looked at Manda and Gamabunta, and asked a question it already knew the answer to.
"I never thought you'd end up like this. Now, tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Kill these four people, then deal with that brat first; he's a real pain!"
Hanzo pointed at Fushiko, who had already begun to move his arm.
"It's strange that even you don't have the confidence to defeat a brat, but since this is your first request, I'll grant it."
The spotted salamander is an exception in the salamander family; it feeds on other salamanders and its toxins are extremely potent.
Hanzo had made a contract with it, but he never summoned it because the salamander's personality was too wicked.
But Hanzo was willing to sacrifice himself for Amegakure, so he would stop at nothing.
"Jiraiya, this salamander is tricky."
The four had already reunited when this unusual salamander appeared.
Gamabunta's expression changed drastically as he passed by the deadly poison in the air that had turned the rain black.
"This salamander is different; its venom is problematic." Orochimaru pointed to a venomous snake that had died from poisoning and was closest to the spotted salamander.
"I just gave this snake an antidote."
Orochimaru's words immediately alerted everyone.
Jiraiya and Tsunade frowned.
"Although I am immune to most toxins, this guy's poison is too potent." Wan She was having second thoughts.
He's summoning without offerings, what's the point of risking his life?
Fukuyo sensed Manda's fear, but said nothing, only turning his Sharingan.
The crimson pupils instantly made the monstrous snakes shudder as if in response, and they dared not run away again.
After cutting off any possibility of the Thousand Snakes escaping, Fu Heiyao stared intently at the Spotted Salamander.
"I have a rough trick that might be able to restrain this salamander. You guys cooperate with me in the next move."
Fu Heiyao hesitated for a moment, left a sentence, and then steered the horse, diving rapidly towards Hanzo.
"Are you kidding me!?" Tsunade stared wide-eyed at Fukuyo's retreating figure. "What technique could possibly restrain that salamander along with Hanzo?"
"Don't underestimate this kid. Didn't he just prove it?" Jiraiya said.
"It just feels a bit unbelievable," Tsunade also realized.
Unbeknownst to him, Obsidian had grown to the point where he could face Hanzo directly.
Orochimaru remained silent, only instructing Manda to continuously approach the spotted salamander, preparing to intercept Fushiko.
That way, even if it fails, you can run away immediately.
"This salamander is beyond Orochimaru and his team's capabilities. I didn't expect Hanzo to have such a backup plan. We have no choice but to take a gamble."
Fu Heiyao, riding the ship, looked down from above at the salamander, which was even larger than a single fish, and his expression became solemn.
Fukuko's output has always been limited by his chakra reserves. Even with the Unending Throat as a supplement, replenishing chakra takes time, which ultimately limits his output ceiling.
To overcome this deficiency, Fuheiyao took a different approach.
He attempted to use the functional chimera beast Unending Throat as material to sew into an offensive chimera beast centered around Tiger Burial.
He had been thinking about this idea for a whole year. He had almost finished researching the shikigami Fukuro, which was based on the tiger burial, but the ultimate shikigami that combined the two was still not quite there.
To truly realize this idea, Fu Heiya felt that even one Black Flash might not be enough, but given the current dire situation, the only option was to rely on the binding and the Sharingan.
