As the current Jonin Commander squad leader, Orochimaru is very aware of the current total number and situation of Konohagakure Jōnin. Konohagakure currently has about one hundred and seventy Jōnin left.
Okū Sarutobi can be ranked at least in the top fifty among them, and even forty. Thirty may be a bit difficult, but Elite Jonin is considered relatively strong, probably at the same level as Shikun Mitarashi before he learned Flying Thunder God.
Shikun Mitarashi is now barely in the top ten.
Because Minato Namikaze has surpassed him now.
Third Hokage, Three Ninja, Minato, Kushina who can call on the power of Nine-Tails, plus Danzo and the elderly Torifu Akimichi, there are already eight people.
And Dai, with Seventh Gate turned on, is fully qualified to compete for the top five.
So Shikun Mitarashi can only be ranked tenth.
Further down are top Jōnin such as Yūhi Shinku and Fugaku Uchiha who took over from Uchiha Clan Head a few years ago.
From this perspective, Hiruzen Sarutobi really attaches great importance to the safety of Asuma.
Even counting the strong Kage Level, Okū Sarutobi is strong enough to rank in the top ten percent of all Jōnin.
There are ten Jōnin in the Sarutobi Clan. Apart from Third Hokage, the strongest ones are Asuma Sarutobi and Okū Sarutobi who were not disabled back then.
As for how much is hidden, Orochimaru has no idea.
"Yoshi, let me take charge from now on!"
Seiji Aoki decisively handed over the command to Okū Sarutobi.
One or two years before Konohagakure was established, the old man was only seven or eight years old and already followed Third Hokage's father Sasuke Sarutobi into the battlefield with a knife.
After nearly half a century of war, Okū Sarutobi is the best choice in terms of vision, command, experience, etc.
Those who should ambush will do so, and those who should set traps will set traps.
"The enemy is coming!"
Mitaraishi Anko The little snake that was channeled spit out letters and captured the smell in the air.
The old man and a few disguised Jōnin took a group of imps as bait and stayed next to the vehicle transporting supplies.
These Jōnin will not do their best, their main purpose is to save these little brats.
Under this premise, paddle if you can, thereby increasing the pressure to exercise these Genin.
Seiji Aoki led the remaining people in the team to ambush on both sides.
The three imps of Orochimaru Squad immediately formed a formation with a tacit understanding. Asuma and Anko were in front, and Kurenai Yūhi was in the back.
"Fire Release·Great Flame Technique!"
Okū Sarutobi started with the Sarutobi Clan and Fire Release Secret Technique which has been passed down from generation to generation, directly blocking the enemy's attack.
Soldier against soldier, against general, Okū Sarutobi decisively suppressed the opponent's team leader Jōnin, but he was letting go and still had room to observe Asuma's performance.
"Shadow Snake Hand!"
Anko decisively launched a sneak attack on a Kumogakure Chunin.
Even if the sneak attack is not successful, we have to force the opponent to deal with it.
The three Orochimaru Squad are all tolerant Second Hokage, but look down on the ordinary Genin.
After all, the opponent was Chunin from Kumogakure, one of the five great ninja villages. It was not that easy to deal with. He quickly reacted and drew out Ninja Blade to cut off the snake channeled by Anko in a few blows.
"Fire Release·Great Fireball Technique!"
Asuma followed closely and launched an offensive.
Kumogakure raised the corner of his mouth. After all, they are just a few brats with little fighting experience. They launched a ninjutsu attack without even testing it when they first started practicing. In this way, they had no choice but to drag it down, while Chuck on the other side...
Kumogakure was forced to stop before he finished talking to himself in his head.
not good! Genjutsu!
A stinging pain came from his neck, waking him up from Genjutsu.
In the last second before his consciousness disappeared, he saw the world upside down.
Including his headless body.
"Chunin? That's it? That's it, that's it?"
Asuma is proud of himself.
"Hey, idiot Asuma, do you think we should find someone more powerful and have something exciting!"
Anko imitated Orochimaru and stuck out his tongue to lick his mouth and said excitedly.
Asuma turned to look at Kurenai Yūhi.
"Teacher Orochimaru believes that we have enough strength to protect ourselves from Jōnin. The opponent is just Special Jōnin. Even if we can't defeat him, we can still hold him back and release the pressure on the battlefield."
Now Kumogakure, two Special Jōnin and one Seiji Aoki are fighting fiercely.
Another Special Jōnin is also inextricably tied up with a Konohagakure Jōnin who is letting go.
"Captain Aoki! Let's help you!"
The three little devils rushed up with howls.
Seiji Aoki nodded, then stepped aside.
"I'll sweep the formation for you."
Judging from the performance just now, the strength of the three of Asuma has far exceeded the level of Genin. Seiji Aoki feels that even if he takes action, he cannot beat the three of them together.
At this level, if you participate in Chunin Ninja Exams, you can kill randomly!
"Damn it, how dare you look down on me, just three little brats!"
Kumogakure Ninja looks fierce, since you are so trusting, then even if I can't kill you all, I still have to make you pay the price!
"Lightning Release·Lightning strike!"
"Wind Release·Vacuum Wave!"
The Wind Release released by Asuma successfully blocked the Lightning Release attack of the Kumogakure ninja.
Subsequently, there are Python of Anko and Genjutsu of Kurenai Yūhi.
No matter what, the Kumogakure ninja is at least a Special Jōnin. Even if it has some shortcomings compared to the real Jōnin, it should not be underestimated.
The crackling Lightning Release gathered under the feet, stimulating the muscle cells of the legs, and instantly burst out with powerful energy and flashed away. This is Lightning Body Flicker.
"Snake Style Swordplay·Snake binding and killing!"
Anko waved Ninja Blade and rushed forward.
Snake Style Swordplay is a swordsmanship jointly developed by Orochimaru and Snake Shadow, which requires extremely high flexibility.
The sword thrust out by Anko was avoided by Kumogakure, but Anko turned his wrist and shot out another snake from his cuff, trying to attack his vaginal testicles.
This move can only be said to be worthy of being a disciple of Orochimaru.
Fortunately, the thunder and lightning that stimulated the muscles in Kumogakure's legs had not dissipated yet, and he narrowly avoided it.
But soon, multiple shurikens fired by Kurenai Yūhi attacked the Kumogakure ninja.
"Lightning Release·Thunder Rat Shocked!"
Kumogakure The ninja was not to be outdone. He swung out shurikens with lightning attached. Kurenai Yūhi intercepted the ordinary Kunai shot, and even flew towards a few people with unabated momentum.
Anko waved the Chunin sword, making movements that required extremely high flexibility, and used Ninja Blade to block these shurikens.
"Fire Release·Great Fireball!"
"Ninpo·Fox Heart Technique!"
Asuma and Kurenai Yūhi cooperate, one output and one control.
Kumogakure Ninja had no choice but to dodge again.
These difficult brats!
After the rush of blood receded, the Kumogakure ninja noticed that the companions around him were being blocked by Konoha Ninja one by one. Then he saw the Seiji Aoki watching eagerly next to him, and he had already begun to plan to escape.
"Lightning Release·Web Spider!"
Large swaths of thunder and lightning spread on the ground, and judging from their posture, they were going to cover everyone.
Everyone jumped back and successfully avoided the lightning network on the ground.
"Goodbye everyone!"
Kumogakure Ninja turned around decisively and was about to run away.
"Where do you want to go?"
Okū Sarutobi was holding the head of Kumogakure Jōnin who had fought with him before, and looked at Cloud Ninja who was running away in front of him and asked.
, Kumogakure ninja turned around again, but at this time Asuma and others and Seiji Aoki had surrounded them again.
"You, you, don't come over here!!!"
