Sage Mode Jiraiya and Orochimaru

"Pfft!"

The thriving tree enveloped the two, and at the same time, four sharp Shuriken pierced through them as easily as tofu, instantly splattering blood everywhere. Simultaneously, under the tree's rapid growth and restraint, a loud thud was heard as Shimura Danzō watched in disbelief.

He and one of his Wood Clone were crushed into bloody foam, becoming nourishment for the tree.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield...

Uchiha Obito under the bridge, was unaware of the battle above, but after clashing with Might Guy and Uchiha Itachi, he couldn't help but marvel at their strength.

"I acknowledge your abilities, but this is where it ends."

At this moment, Might Guy and Uchiha Itachi were panting heavily, a sight that made Obito, shake his head with a look of regret.

"Uchiha Itachi, you truly are a genius. If it weren't for the limitations your age imposed on your body, and if you had another five years, you would have absolutely grown to a terrifying level. It's a pity though."

Might Guy, panting heavily after holding the Eight Inner Gates for so long, stared intently at his enemy and couldn't help but rage, "Damn it, all that power, but I'm hitting nothing but air every time!"

Facing such an opponent is incredibly frustrating for Taijutsu ninja like Might Guy.

However, a smile appeared on Uchiha Itachi's face as he panted heavily. "What a pity? I think it should be just right."

Boom!

Suddenly, the lake surface burst open, and a red, glowing dragon, holding a black bead, shot out.

Immortal White Rage Technique

A blinding white light flashed instantly, the air vibrated, and Obito, masked, was shocked. His senses were paralyzed, and he felt immense pain in his body.

Orochimaru!

At this moment, Orochimaru emerged from the water. Orochimaru had already entered Sage Mode and immediately unleashed his ultimate technique.

However, the next moment, the sound of Frog Song filled the air. High-intensity sound waves emanated over a wide area, and then Masked Obito felt dizzy and disoriented. Even with his Mangekyo, he found himself in Genjutsu world.

Immortal Arts, Magic, Toad's Song

In the original story, Jiraiya used this Genjutsu to even catch Pain with his Rinnegan, demonstrating its Genjutsu power.

In the Genjutsu world, Uchiha Obito stared in shock at himself being imprisoned in a cube-shaped water prison, surrounded by four giant Toad statues.

"This is a mental Genjutsu Binding Jutsu. Once you are caught in this Genjutsu, your body will be unable to move."

Jiraiya's majestic voice echoed within the Genjutsu world, while the masked Obito, couldn't help but mutter in shock, "As expected of the Sannin, they even possess such Genjutsu. And their cooperation with Orochimaru just now was to stop me from using Kamui."

"Pfft!"

Amidst the splattering blood outside, and to the astonishment of Might Guy and Uchiha Itachi, Orochimaru and Jiraiya, both in Sage Mode, suddenly emerged from the lake, each wielding a weapon and thrusting it diagonally into the Masked Enemy's body.

Orochimaru, wielding the Kusanagi Sword, Jiraiya, gripping a large bone sword, worked in perfect coordination, their swords piercing the enemy's chest in an X shape, blood splattering everywhere.

"Haha, Orochimaru, it's been a long time. I didn't expect our teamwork to still be so flawless."

Suddenly, Jiraiya's dignified Jiraiya vanished as he broke into a hearty laugh, shattering his composure. Orochimaru, standing nearby, scoffed disdainfully, saying sarcastically, "Idiot Jiraiya, I never expected you'd come to this."

Sage Mode! Judging by the level of mastery, Jiraiya mastered it even earlier than him.

"Ha ha."

At this moment Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru, who remained as aloof as ever, and even when Orochimaru called him an idiot, his eyes welled up with tears. His comrade was finally coming back.

"Ahem, little Jiraiya, this Genjutsu singing puts a huge strain on your throat; it's very tiring."

"My throat hurts so much. What kind of enemy did you encounter this time, Jiraiya? Why are you being so cautious and even teaming up with Orochimaru to fight against them?"

The two old Toad, Shima, Fukasaku on Jiraiya's shoulders, couldn't help but grumble. However, the two Toad knew the seriousness of the situation and didn't interrupt. Instead, their expressions were filled with solemnity.

It can directly put Jiraiya into Sage Mode and even team up with Orochimaru, another of the Sannin Orochimaru. The enemy is extremely terrifying.

"Heh heh, let me see who the enemy is who is controlling the Nine-Tails."

At that moment, Orochimaru, with his signature hoarse and wicked smile, reached out to remove the Masked Man's mask.

Amidst the splattering of blood, Obito's Obito figure instantly became illusory.

"Not good!"

In an instant Jiraiya and Orochimaru swiftly attacked from behind, causing the shadowy figure behind them to become illusory, allowing their attacks to pass right through it.

Boom!

On the water, Orochimaru and Jiraiya quickly created distance between themselves, while Might Guy and Uchiha Itachi rushed over from a distance.

"Orochimaru / Lord Jiraiya!"

Amidst their exclamations, Orochimaru and Jiraiya stared intently at the dark figure in the distance, their expressions grave.

"Cough cough, as expected of the Sannin, just a little short."

At this moment, Uchiha Obito, behind his mask, was sweating profusely. He had almost died just now.

"Snap!"

The mask on the left side of the eye was broken off, revealing a corner, which then came into view as a Three Tomoe Sharingan gradually closed.

"Izanagi!"

Upon seeing this, Orochimaru couldn't help but reveal a hoarse smile, showing not a trace of disappointment but rather a morbid interest and desire.

"So that means you have one more chance to use Izanagi. I wonder what kind of face is behind this mask after you use your other eye."

Sannin Orochimaru's hoarse, sickly smile, Obito, wearing a mask, looked on with a grave expression, his exposed Mangekyo Obito intently on the enemies present.

"Jiraiya, Orochimaru! When did you arrive?!"

Suddenly remembering something, Obito's pupils contracted, revealing a look of shock; he seemed to have recalled something.

"It was from the very beginning! From the very beginning, when Uchiha Yoru used Fire Release Ninjutsu, he used the concealment effect of the Ninjutsu to lure her into summoning a flying eagle for Summoning Beast —it was all bait!"

At this moment, Obito finally realized something, and Jiraiya couldn't help but smile and nod, "That's right, from the beginning, the brat used the Summoning Jutsu three times, leaving behind the Toad Summoning Beast Scroll and my blood."

"From the very beginning of the battle, that Uchiha Yoru actually summoned three times quickly using his Summoning Jutsu. The Toad and snake took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention and jumped directly into the lake under the bridge. Orochimaru and I hid in the lake until we entered Sage Mode."

"Idiot Jiraiya." Orochimaru was usually aloof and disdainful of everything, rarely retorted as he watched Jiraiya laughing as he recounted the events to the enemy.

"What did you say, Orochimaru!" Seeing the familiar scene, Jiraiya reflexively glared at Orochimaru and retorted.

However, Obito, stared at the current situation with a grave expression, and said in a hoarse voice, "It seems we miscalculated today, but I still don't understand how Jiraiya and Orochimaru could have prepared in advance! Or rather, how did Uchiha Yoru know there would be an ambush?"

This was the most perplexing question for Obito. Faced with this question, Jiraiya's smile gradually turned serious, and a look of solemnity appeared between his brows.

"You did the Nine-Tails, didn't you! As expected, this brat said there's always been an enemy targeting Konoha in the shadows. This was originally just to prevent the death of the only one, because if this brat dies, the entire Konoha will fall into internal strife. And you have both the ability and the motive!"

"The only person I can imagine is the culprit of the Nine-Tails Night!" Jiraiya stared intently at Obito with a questioning gaze, as if he wanted to ask him everything.

After all, on the Nine-Tails Night, he lost his most outstanding disciple, Minato Namikaze. Not only was Konoha suffering a huge loss, but in his eyes, the village had reached this point.

The animosity between the Third Hokage's group and the Uchiha, in particular, clearly intensified after the Nine-Tails Night.

Konoha is now in such a turbulent situation, and the root cause of all this is actually the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails Night.

"Heh heh, the answer to Jiraiya might already be in our hands."

Just then, beneath Orochimaru's hoarse, sinister smile, a White Snake, its tongue flicking, slowly slithered along his neck, then suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a ghastly white chunk of flesh.

He split the flesh in two and placed it into a test tube. Orochimaru's sinister smile was full of confidence. "Jiraiya, I think you should know about the arm left behind by the enemy the Fourth Hokage faced on the Nine-Tails Night. Why don't you compare it with this piece of flesh yourself?"

On the Nine-Tails Night, Uchiha Obito was injured in a battle with Minato Namikaze. One of his arms was smashed by the Rasengan and was left on the battlefield. Given the investigative abilities of ninjas, how could they let it go?

Furthermore, Danzo's arm is also very strange. Konoha has been researching Wood Release for so long, and suddenly it was transplanted onto his own arm. It is likely that Orochimaru used this part of the remaining arm to equip Danzo with an immature Wood Release arm through research.

"I see."

After taking the test tube that Orochimaru threw at him, Jiraiya and nodded heavily. At this moment, the enemy's Ninjutsu and everything else matched the clues left by Minato, which almost proved that the Masked Man in front of him was the murderer of the Nine-Tails Night.

Seeing this, the Masked Man, Uchiha Obito. "Heh, it seems I underestimated you juniors. I'll let you go this time, but next time! You won't be so lucky."

As the spatial vortex rippled outwards, the Masked Man, Obito, revealed an arrogant and threatening smile before gradually disappearing.

"Have the enemy left?"

At this moment, Might Guy scratched his head, watching the figure disappear on the lake, while Uchiha Itachi said in a deep voice, "Be careful and on guard, in case the enemy tries to trick us."

"Oh no, there's this brat too!"

Suddenly, Jiraiya slapped his forehead in surprise, just as an angry roar rang out from the stone bridge behind him.

On the stone bridge, Shimura Danzō's Sharingan on his pale arms had all been deactivated. This time, with the help of Masked Obito, his stable Wood Style Cells in his arms caused his Chakra to surge, but the enemy he faced was also much stronger.

"Evil Uchiha! How could Konoha fall into your hands! Only I am the future of Konoha!"

Faced with this desperate predicament, Shimura Danzō couldn't help but let out a hoarse roar of anger; he was unwilling to accept it.

Meanwhile, the enemy he wanted to kill, Uchiha Yoru, stood at the bridgehead, the Hokage Hat at his waist shining brightly in the breeze.

In this First Shinobi War, Danzo couldn't even detect Uchiha Yoru's Mangekyo Dōjutsu, which was rather pathetic.

At this moment, facing Shimura Danzō, Uchiha Yoru still had no intention of letting him go and continued to launch a psychological attack.

"The rats hiding in the darkness, thinking themselves the roots of Konoha's darkness, and the Third Hokage thinking themselves the leaves basking in the sunlight—perhaps you were once, but now you have become rotten, malignant tumors hindering Konoha's development."

"Konoha was founded by the Uchiha and Senju from the very beginning. What right do you parasites have to talk about Konoha!"

Uchiha Yoru looked down at Shimura Danzō with domineering arrogance, directly denying all of the other's self-righteousness. Even if he died, he would make sure his enemy died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Cough cough, you evil Uchiha!"

Danzo, whose very being was practically Danzo with the Uchiha and evil, was mocked by Uchiha Yoru: "Then what are you? Would there be Konoha without the Uchiha? What is Konoha without the Senju and Uchiha? Just something to satisfy your greedy and corrupt desires?"

"Cough cough!"

Shimura Danzō stumbled across the stone bridge toward Uchiha Yoru. His right Sharingan was closed, and all the Sharingan in his right arm were shut down, proving that he had used up all of his Izanagi and had no chance of reviving.

Now, severely injured, he seemed to have a final burst of energy before death, coughing up blood in despair as he weakly walked towards Uchiha Yoru. At the same time, he stretched out his old and feeble arm and staggeredly waved Kunai, as if trying to kill his opponent with the Kunai.

"I am not reconciled! I have dedicated my entire life to Konoha, what do you, you evil Uchiha, know?"

"Konoha cannot fall into the hands of the evil Uchiha! The Hokage absolutely cannot!"

Staggering and panting heavily, Shimura Danzō seemed to have only a few breaths left. At this moment, as he looked closer and closer, his heart was filled with wild joy. Almost there! As long as I take a few more steps, I can eliminate this Uchiha for Konoha.

Despite his impending death, Shimura Danzō forced himself to remain weak to lower his opponent's guard, even feigning a disheveled state in order to get closer.

Just as he approached Uchiha Yoru, Shimura Danzō was extremely weak at this moment, seemed to have a sudden burst of energy before death. He suddenly ripped open his shirt, revealing his aged muscles, and roared in a gesture of righteous indignation.

"For the sake of the ninja world! For the sake of Konoha! I absolutely cannot let you, Uchiha, live! I will not allow the Uchiha to trample on the Hokage!"

The Four Symbols Seal

In an instant, black Sealing Jutsu runes appeared on Shimura Danzō's chest, and black ink splattered everywhere as the seal was activated.

When Shimura Danzō saw the ink splattered all over Uchiha Yoru, he immediately revealed a maniacal smile.

"Haha, Uchiha Yoru, you can't escape now!"

The Sealing Jutsu, formed from blood and black ink, will cause the body to stiffen and its chakra to Chakra disordered when it splashes onto the body.

However, seeing Shimura Danzō's final, manic smile, Uchiha Yoru, enveloped by the Sealing Jutsu, curled his lips into a smile, still determined to kill at the last moment and destroy his spirit.

"Konoha Shimura, a Rogue Ninja Shimura Danzō Konoha, used the Reverse Four Symbols Seal Technique before his death, ultimately sealing half a bridge at the cost of his life. I wonder what kind of legend that is?"

With a mocking smile, Uchiha Yoru's body stiffened from his feet down, slowly turning into a wooden structure due to the Chakra disorder caused by the Sealing Jutsu.

Wood Release: Wood Clone, Clone Technique in the original work that even the Eternal Mangekyo could not see through.

However, when Shimura Danzō saw this scene, his ferocious pupils were filled with resentment, especially the jarring title of Konoha Rogue Ninja, which made him die with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

"No!"

Boom!

The Four Symbols Seal transformed into a massive black sphere of light, instantly sealing off most of the sturdy stone bridge, along with a wooden statue, rendering it completely lifeless.

Amidst the deafening roar, Jiraiya and the others, who were some distance away, happened to Danzo transforming into a black sphere of light to seal the bridge.
