Explosive Tag are densely packed on the ground, like a huge Uzumaki Clan trying to swallow up Tsunade and Jiraiya.
"Heavenly Foot of Pain!"
Tsunade stepped on it with a bang, and Explosive Tag that was originally wrapped around his feet was shattered by the shock. But the remaining Explosive Tag came around again like a poisonous snake.
"Hiss!"
Hanzō Hand Seals detonated his secret technique.
"Needle Jizō!" Jiraiya shouted loudly, then desperately rushed towards Tsunade and held her in his arms. Then, the explosion sounded, deafening!
As smoke and dust rose, gravel flew everywhere, and the rock made by Tsunade had long since disappeared, turning into pieces and dispersing into the air.
When the smoke clears, an object resembling a silkworm cocoon appears. It turned out that at the same time as the explosion, Jiraiya used his hair to wrap the two of them. Hanzō looked at this Ninjutsu and felt a little regretful, because his carefully planned attack failed again.
When the cocoon slowly turned back into soft hair, Jiraiya stood on the ground with scars all over his body. His legs seemed to have no strength to stand, so he had to be supported by Tsunade. It seems that the explosion just now still caused a lot of damage to Jiraiya.
Tsunade was extremely anxious for a moment. A burn of this degree must be treated quickly. Jiraiya didn't care, his eyes still stayed on Hanzō to prevent Hanzō's sudden attack.
"Jiraiya, Tsunade!"
Hearing the explosion, Orochimaru shouted loudly. Then regardless of the crazy consumption of chakra, he directly used the method of exchanging injuries for injuries, breaking through Salamander's blockage, and came to the two of them. Salamander also stopped attacking at the signal of Hanzō.
"How are you two?!" Orochimaru asked eagerly. At this time, Jiraiya had many scars all over his body, which looked very serious.
"We were hit by Explosive Tag planted by Hanzō. If Jiraiya hadn't used Ninjutsu in time, we would have died just now." Tsunade said with some annoyance.
"... The gap is really not that big..." Jiraiya reluctantly smiled at Orochimaru.
At this time, he could already feel his body weakening. In order to protect Tsunade, he completely withstood the explosion. The blood was in direct contact with the poisonous gas in the air. The Antidote Pill he had taken previously was no longer enough to resist this poison.
Hanzō jumped up high, jumped on the head of Salamander, and looked down at the three people with an impressive momentum.
"Now that your team has been so seriously injured, what else can you do?"
Yes, what else can we do?
The three people, who had almost exhausted all their means, stood in front of the huge black Salamander, looking up, and the man standing at the top still looked condescending.
They have reached their limit, but Hanzō never seems to be doing their best.
"Life or death depends on your thoughts, do you still want to hold on?"
"You should know very well that even if the three of us join forces, the gap between us and me will still be irreparable. Just admit defeat and you can survive." Hanzō persuaded the three of them very patiently.
"Don't be ridiculous! The ninjas of Konoha are not in the habit of admitting defeat on the battlefield. Even if I die, I will never admit defeat!" Jiraiya, who was at the end of his strength, had no intention of admitting defeat.
It's not that he is trying to be brave, but that he has a reason why he absolutely cannot fail. His companions, disciples, and friends were all fighting on the battlefield behind him. If he gave up, how could he have the face to face those dead ninjas?
Although Orochimaru and Tsunade did not speak, the look in their eyes showed their decision.
Never admit defeat!
The three of them looked directly at Hanzō, supporting each other and still refusing to retreat.
Looking at the expressions of the three people, at a certain moment, Hanzō suddenly closed his eyes. He was also very hesitant, should he kill these three young people with potential directly, or let them go like this?
He was very unwilling to kill him. This approach is undoubtedly letting the tiger return to the mountain. Konoha is already powerful enough...
But if Jiraiya Tsunade Orochimaru is killed, under the anger of Konoha, even if Hanzō joins forces with Sunagakure and Iwagakure, they will suffer heavy losses.
Moreover, the most important thing is that the earth-shattering Lightning Release repeatedly appeared in Hanzō's mind.
It's not that he looks down on the other two major countries. Judging from his years of knowledge, those who can use this kind of Lightning Release are probably Konoha ninjas.
Hanzō already felt vaguely in his heart that Konoha had won this war. Even the United Army is no match for Konoha. If Third Hokage's disciples are killed again... will Land of Rain still exist?
Thinking of this...
Hanzō The originally concentrated killing intent also began to dissipate, "I haven't seen such outstanding juniors as you for a long time. Your strength has been recognized by me. You three, let's go..."
"Huh?!"
Hanzō's words made Jiraiya Tsunade look stunned.
Just now it was a fight to the death. Judging from the situation of this fight, it is likely that they died at the hands of Hanzō. But Hanzō suddenly showed an attitude of cherishing talents and asked the three of them to leave. This transformation is too weird.
Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, we can't let you enter the battlefield!"
"Don't worry, since I will let you three go, I will naturally not continue to join forces with Iwa-nin and Sand Ninja. Of course, I will not enter the battlefield." Hanzō shook his head.
This is a situation that neither Jiraiya nor Tsunade expected.
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Hanzō and said, "You gave up entering the battlefield, isn't it just because of the three of us?"
He never believed that Hanzō, who could rule Amegakure as the leader, was a good person, and he did not kill them. Even if there was some reason for cherishing talents, it was never that simple.
Hanzō crossed his arms and looked down at the three of them. "It's very simple. Konoha should have won this war. Then it would be pointless for us to continue fighting. So, I will be merciful and let you live. Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
"We don't need your pity, we can still fight!" Jiraiya was angered by Hanzō's condescending attitude.
"Stop talking, Jiraiya." Tsunade looked at Jiraiya's injuries worriedly.
Hanzō ignored Jiraiya and turned around to leave. But he suddenly looked back. Orochimaru The three of them immediately became vigilant.
"Don't be nervous, little brats. You three have survived in my hands, which is enough to be proud of. Let me think about it..." Hanzō looked down at the three of them, "Well... from now on, I will call you Konoha Sannin... as the price of your survival. From now on, bear the name given to you by Demigod and live on."
Hanzō laughed, and then stamped his foot on the head of Salamander. As if it understood, it jumped directly over the heads of Jiraiya and flew towards the distance.
"Konoha...Sannin?! What is this? Compared with my Toad ninja, the taste is really far behind!" Jiraiya loudly vented his dissatisfaction to Hanzō's retreating figure.
Tsunade on the side smiled and said, "Okay, my Toad ninja! No matter what his purpose is, at least we survived."
Hearing these words, Jiraiya also smiled.
The poisonous gas that filled the sky became weaker and weaker as Hanzō left.
"It seems that he has really left." Orochimaru saw this and said, "Let's go, we still haven't finished this battle."
Jiraiya After hearing this, don't worry about it anymore.
Immediately the three of them looked at each other and quickly returned to the battlefield.
But the three of them didn't know that the title given by Demigod would accompany them throughout their lives. It's more like shackles than honor, reminding them of today's... shame.
