Beware! Ahead Lies the Battlefield of Konoha Genin

Somewhere in the Land of Rice.

Pakkun sniffed and looked up at Kakashi and the others, saying, "The scent has faded quite a bit here. It seems they've been gone for a long time."

Jiraiya's expression turned serious as he asked in a deep voice, "Which direction did they go?"

Pakkun raised his paw and pointed in a direction, saying calmly, "Over there!"

Jiraiya and Kakashi exchanged a glance and said in a low voice, "That's the direction of Orochimaru's Otogakure. These kids are practically courting death!"

Jiraiya investigated Orochimaru for many years and gathered a great deal of information about Orochimaru.

The location of the Otogakure was no secret to Jiraiya.

However, Orochimaru had too many secret bases, making it difficult for Jiraiya to track down Orochimaru's exact hiding place.

Upon hearing Jiraiya's words, even someone as stubborn as Might Guy couldn't utter a joke.

"Rock Lee..."

Might Guy truly loves Rock Lee like his own son.

At this moment, Might Guy began to understand his father's feelings when he opened the Gate of Death.

If Rock Lee really did encounter Orochimaru...

Might Guy unconsciously clenched his fists!

Asuma said anxiously, "Lord Jiraiya, let's hurry and catch up!"

Don't worry too much!

Kakashi said in a deep voice, "Hinata may be a bit lazy and unreliable on ordinary days, but she is very calm and collected in critical moments. Moreover, she has the Byakugan, which allows her to avoid danger in advance."

"Don't worry, Asuma, they won't run into Orochimaru!"

Jiraiya nodded slightly upon hearing this, which was considered an agreement with Kakashi's words.

Jiraiya traveled with Hinata to find Tsunade and fought Orochimaru together, so he trusted Hinata completely.

"Alright! Enough with the nonsense! Let's move out of here and bring those brats back to Konoha!"

'Swish swish swish swish swish—'

The four people and one dog moved swiftly through the forest at an extremely fast speed; the naked eye could only see a few afterimages left behind after their rapid movement.

Ahead, a bright white light shot into the sky.

'Boom!'

A huge explosion came from ahead, far away, but the sound was clearly audible.

"Stop!"

Jiraiya, his three companions, and their dog landed on the ground instantly.

In just a moment, the earth began to tremble slightly.

Asuma stared wide-eyed into the distance, his cigarette falling to the ground, muttering in disbelief, "What on earth happened over there?"

Kakashi and Jiraiya had a vague idea about it.

Hinata companions not only used the Nine-Tails' power this time, but also unleashed Nine-Tails to launch a devastating attack on the Otogakure.

Kakashi's generation had all seen the Nine-Tails and were familiar with some of Nine-Tails techniques.

Twelve years ago, on that night, Nine-Tails used a black Chakra ball technique, but it was transferred away by Minato Namikaze using the Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder.

Although Konoha did not directly face the attack of the Tailed Beast Bomb, many people felt the aftershocks of the explosion.

Moreover, the Tailed Beast Bomb Ball attacked the Hokage Rock all the way, and the houses and streets of Konoha were almost destroyed in an instant.

That was a force that no ninja could possibly resist.

Asuma swallowed hard, saying incredulously, "Orochimaru... he can't be dead, can he?!"

Jiraiya's expression was somewhat complicated.

From the perspective of the Konoha Ninja, Jiraiya should have wanted Orochimaru to be killed.

However, from the perspective of his comrades, Jiraiya actually wanted to bring Orochimaru back to Konoha.

Just like before, the Legendary Sannin fought together once again for Konoha.

Although... all of this seems impossible now.

Kakashi couldn't help but rub his forehead. This must have been Hinata's doing!

Kakashi swears!

In Kakashi's mind, Hinata is the kind of person who is usually very lazy, scheming, lazy, unambitious, greedy, and unreliable...

However, when faced with danger, Hinata is very calm and decisive.

But once Hinata realizes she can defeat her opponent, she Hinata even more reckless and troublesome than Naruto.

Whether fighting Zabuza, Itachi, or Kisame, Hinata would immediately unleash her ultimate attack, giving her opponents no chance to speak.

Hinata used to only be able to use the Forty Gods Vacuum Attack.

But if Hinata could command Nine-Tails... then every move she made would be a Tailed Beast Bomb to bombard her opponent.

Thinking of this, Kakashi quickly shouted, "Everyone! Another explosion is coming!"

Everyone: "..."

After only a brief silence...

A white light shot into the sky again in the distance, followed by a series of explosions, and then the ground shook a few times.

Kakashi understood immediately and said calmly, "It seems that the attack just now didn't kill Orochimaru!"

Jiraiya: "..."

Does that mean Orochimaru is doomed?

Jiraiya shouted, "Let's get there quickly!"

Asuma and Kakashi exchanged a glance. What use would it be now? To collect Orochimaru's corpse?

But upon closer reflection, given that Orochimaru possessed so many forbidden techniques, it was indeed quite necessary to collect his Orochimaru.

The battle between Nine-Tails and Orochimaru has come to an end.

Orochimaru was ultimately no match for Nine-Tails. After several attempts to attack, he was forced to flee in Nine-Tails.

Nine-Tails stood beside Shikamaru and the other three, without interfering in Hinata and Kimimaro's battle.

Kimimaro glanced at the now-ruined Otogakure.

Orochimaru has already run away.

In truth, Kimimaro should have known very well that he had been abandoned by Orochimaru.

But he refused to believe it.

He believed that Orochimaru understood him and that he held a place in Orochimaru's heart.

Kimimaro was lonely in his youth, and Orochimaru was the only light and warmth in his life.

Even if Orochimaru was deceiving him...

If this is deception, then let Orochimaru deceive him for the rest of his life.

Even though Orochimaru's lies have been exposed, Kimimaro would rather deceive himself than give up the only warmth in his life.

Kimimaro pulled out the spine.

"The Dance of the Clematis Vine!"

Kimimaro swung his bone whip at Hinata, but Hinata wasn't Gaara, who was crippled in Taijutsu. This level of attack couldn't possibly hit Hinata.

Seeing that his attacks had missed several times, Kimimaro suddenly coughed up blood.

There's no time left...

"So agile! And... so sharp-witted!"

Kimimaro's voice was devoid of emotion.

"But I'm not alone..."

"I have been working hard to realize Lord Orochimaru's ambition."

"So I will always remain in Lord Orochimaru's heart..."

'Pfft—'

A bright white light instantly pierced through Kimimaro's body.

Hinata fused the five Chakra Ray of Mountain Breaker Strike into one, and almost instantly shattered Kimimaro's body, leaving him no chance to dodge.

Hinata slowly withdrew her hands.

"Just unleash your ultimate move! What are you talking about? See, if I attack first, you won't have a chance, right?"

Talking on and on about nonsense before unleashing a powerful move is just asking for trouble!

Even though Hinata lacks combat experience, Hinata never seeks death!
