The Wind Release chunin crashed heavily to the ground like a lightning-struck log. It was a miserable sight.
"One down... keep going!"
"Transformation Technique: Pig!"
Following their usual 3v3 tactic of control, focused fire, and taking them out in one wave, Satoru's group of three dealt with the three horrified Rain chunin at an unbelievably fast pace.
"Cough..."
Satoru and the others let out a breath of relief. By the time they had taken care of the four chunin, the three Rain jonin facing Jiraiya and Orochimaru were already close to collapsing.
These three were no ordinary jonin. They were elites even among the Rain Ninja; otherwise, one or two of them would likely have died in the very first exchange.
"Damn it... If this had been an assassination, they definitely wouldn't have lost so quickly!"
The Rain Ninja Leader looked at his subordinates sprawled across the ground, as well as Satoru's group finishing them off, and gritted his teeth in fury.
"Jiraiya! Orochimaru! Make them stop! If you retreat now, I can promise not to pursue you for one day!"
"Captain!"
The other two jonin were startled, but the Rain Ninja Leader immediately shouted:
"Shut up! I'll bear the responsibility! Jiraiya, Orochimaru, this won't be the last time we meet..."
"Hehe... It seems we have the upper hand now, doesn't it?"
Orochimaru did not ease up at all. All manner of ninjutsu and secret techniques unfolded, cutting off the Rain Ninja Leader's remaining words.
"Not pursue us? Are you perhaps failing to understand the situation... Isn't it us who are wiping you out?"
Orochimaru's squad had been assigned to sabotage the rear of the Rain Ninja forces. If they could annihilate this elite squad that had been pursuing Jiraiya here, it would undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to the
