Orochimaru bit his finger directly and performed the hand seals: Boar, Dog, Bird, Monkey, Ram.
"Summoning Jutsu: Manda."
A massive snake covered in purple stripes appeared on the ground. Feng Yao tossed Naruto aside and leaped up onto the serpent as well.
This was Orochimaru's favorite summoning creature, possessing extreme speed and immense offensive power.
Manda looked around and said arrogantly, "So the one we're dealing with this time is Tsunade, another of the Sannin. Hmph, don't forget that I want 100 living sacrifices afterward, Orochimaru."
"Hehe, rest assured, Manda. But don't kill her outright; I still have use for her."
Orochimaru did not forget to remind Manda, as everything Feng Yao was doing was for the sake of bringing Tsunade back.
Manda opened its blood-red maw wide and lunged toward Tsunade.
Tsunade's Yin Seal had been completely undone, and the chakra accumulated within it was fully released, enhancing her speed and strength.
"Ninja Art: Creation Rebirth - Strength of a Hundred Technique."
This was the ultimate combat-oriented medical ninjutsu, combining the Ninja Art: Creation Rebirth with the Strength of a Hundred Technique.
When this technique is activated, the seal spreads across the entire body, allowing for continuous, rapid, high-speed automatic regeneration the moment damage is sustained, without interrupting the rhythm of her attacks.
The drawback is that the healing is fully automatic and uncontrollable, consuming far more chakra than standard medical ninjutsu; even the smallest wounds are regenerated, whereas such minor injuries could be treated with ordinary medical ninjutsu or left alone for the time being.
Furthermore, like the Ninja Art: Creation Rebirth, using it shortens one's lifespan.
She held back Manda's upper jaw with one hand and gripped its fangs with the other—a clash between monstrous strength and a summoning beast.
Tsunade retreated several hundred steps before steadying herself, then pulled back her right hand to charge a punch, slamming Manda more than ten meters away with a single blow.
"What terrifying monstrous strength!"
Even Feng Yao could not help but be astonished.
Tsunade did not stop there; as one of the Sannin, she naturally had her own summoning creature.
"Summoning Jutsu: Katsuyu."
A massive blue and white slug was also summoned. It looked significantly smaller than Manda, as Tsunade lacked sufficient chakra and had summoned only about one-tenth of the Katsuyu Sage.
"Lady Tsunade, do you need my help? Oh, Feng Yao, why are you here?"
Katsuyu first greeted Tsunade, then noticed Feng Yao atop Manda.
Feng Yao looked at Katsuyu, feeling somewhat helpless. "Lady Katsuyu, I didn't expect you to be summoned. I am here on business to ask for Tsunade's help, but since she refused my request, I am now in battle against her. My apologies, I might end up hurting you later."
"Oh my, what could the matter be? Why can't you just talk it out?" Katsuyu was somewhat flustered; it did not want to fight either Feng Yao or Tsunade.
Tsunade was also surprised that Katsuyu knew Feng Yao. "Katsuyu, although I don't know how you two know each other, I cannot agree to his request. I hope you will assist me."
"Don't be so hasty, you still have me!" Jiraiya finally finished off the Third Raikage and leaped out from the barrier. His body was covered in wounds of varying depths, showing that he had been heavily injured by the Third Raikage.
He jumped to Tsunade's side, bit his finger, performed a hand seal, and slammed his palm into the ground.
"Summoning Jutsu."
A giant toad, roughly the same size as Manda, landed on the field. It was none other than Gamabunta, smoking a pipe with a short sword (at least, short for his stature) at his waist.
Gamabunta took a puff of smoke and said, "What is this? Is today some kind of old friends' reunion?"
The Sannin were once again gathered together. Shizune jumped to Tsunade's side, while four Iwa Ninja brought Kabuto to the side of Feng Yao and Orochimaru.
Dan Katō's chakra had been exhausted, and Kabuto had returned to normal.
"My apologies, Lord Feng Yao, Lord Orochimaru. I was truly disrespectful just now."
Kabuto was the first to apologize for being controlled by the enemy during the battle, and Feng Yao shook his head to indicate he didn't mind.
Even he hadn't anticipated that turn of events.
Orochimaru stood beside Feng Yao and whispered, "The situation is quite troublesome now, Yao-kun. How about I hold off Jiraiya for a while, and you take the opportunity to suck Tsunade into the Kamui Dimension?"
Feng Yao turned his head to look at Orochimaru and replied, "No need. There will always be someone interfering; I might as well cripple them all and take Tsunade away." He then glanced at the remaining Iwa Ninja, who were of little combat value. "These forces are no longer needed."
As he spoke, he performed hand seals: Rat-Ox-Monkey-Tiger-Dragon-Boar.
"Impure World Reincarnation: Release."
Beams of white light shot out from the bodies of those brought back by the Impure World Reincarnation, and their souls returned to the Pure Land.
"Big sister, you just said that you look the coolest as the Sixth Hokage!"
Before his soul departed, Nawaki turned around and gave Tsunade a thumbs-up.
Tears welled up in Tsunade's eyes as she thought, Nawaki, big sister will inherit your will and become a good Hokage!
The chakra within Feng Yao's body began to condense rapidly.
Seeing this, the system seemed to grasp Feng Yao's intent. "Host, are you planning to use that technique? Your chakra shouldn't be enough yet."
"That's right, but it will be soon."
As he spoke, Feng Yao grabbed a handful of Military Ration Pills. These were drugs from the ninja world that could restore energy and chakra while increasing one's chakra limit; both Kiba and Kabuto had used them before.
Feng Yao stuffed the item directly into his mouth, his chakra recovering rapidly. However, his upper limit did not increase by much; perhaps it was only truly effective on those with lower strength.
My current chakra is still not enough to use that technique, Feng Yao thought to himself, and thus he summoned his spirit beast once again.
"Summoning Technique: Spirit Ghost."
Feng Yao had lost two of his spirit beasts last time when they were killed by Danzo, and they had yet to revive in the Underworld, so he could not summon all five.
The Spirit Ghost extended its tentacles to wrap around Orochimaru. Orochimaru was startled, but Feng Yao said, "Don't be nervous, I'm just borrowing a bit of your chakra."
As soon as he finished speaking, the chakra within Orochimaru was drained frantically, then fed back into Feng Yao's body.
Feng Yao began to weave hand seals; he intended to use a technique he had drawn from the system to face his enemies, but since his chakra was still significantly lacking, he had no choice but to borrow a portion of Orochimaru's.
After a dazzling display of hand seals, tens of thousands of illusory figures suddenly appeared behind Feng Yao.
Unlike Shadow Clones, they appeared to be nothing more than phantoms, standing silently in the air as if they were an army.
"Myriad Self Great Hand Seal."
Feng Yao chanted silently in his heart. The tens of thousands of Feng Yao phantoms simultaneously extended their right hands, raising them high to condense a blue orb of light that continuously intertwined and merged.
Jiraiya and the others recognized the terror of this move and prepared to intervene.
At the same time, Feng Yao slowly pushed his right hand toward Gamabunta, who was off to the side.
BOOM—!
A massive blue hand, condensed from chakra, suddenly manifested.
With its movement, the air within a radius of several hundred meters was completely displaced by the strike.
With a single swipe of the giant palm, Lord Gamabunta and Jiraiya spat out blood as they were sent flying thousands of meters away, crushing countless houses along their path.
With a push of the giant palm, Katsuyu Sage was shoved far away from the battlefield; Feng Yao had shown mercy toward Katsuyu Sage and did not truly harm it.
Following this, the giant hand closed its grip, firmly imprisoning Tsunade, who stood atop the slug's head. No matter how she struggled, she could not break through the giant hand.
Defeating two of the Sannin with a single move—the ferocity of this technique was evident.
However, the chakra consumption of this move was truly terrifying; even Orochimaru had to contribute half of his chakra for it to be unleashed.
Feng Yao slowly moved the giant hand in front of himself. His own chakra was low, so he had the Spirit Ghost extend its tentacles to drain Tsunade's chakra and feed it back into his own body.
In a short amount of time, Tsunade's chakra was drained until almost nothing remained.
She felt her body begin to grow heavy, and shortly after, she lost consciousness. The mark of the Strength of a Hundred Technique faded away, while Feng Yao recovered his state.
He dispelled the Myriad Self Great Hand Seal and caught the falling Tsunade.
Although Tsunade had no intention of agreeing to his demands, Feng Yao had his own methods to make her comply.
His objective achieved, Feng Yao's right eye began to manifest a Kamui vortex, engulfing himself, Orochimaru, and the others as he prepared to retreat.
"Feng Yao, you stop right there! Leave Tsunade behind!"
Jiraiya rushed over with a Rasengan in his hand, but he was too far away, and his injuries were not light.
In the end, he arrived only seconds after the others had vanished. In his fury, he slammed the Rasengan into the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
Failing to bring back his friend in his youth, and failing to protect the woman he loved in his middle age—this left Jiraiya filled with self-reproach.
"Lord Jiraiya, please don't get agitated. You should check on Naruto's condition first."
Shizune was also deeply worried seeing Tsunade abducted, but judging by the opponent's tone, he likely wouldn't harm Tsunade, meaning there was still a chance to rescue her. The priority now was to treat the wounded, Jiraiya included.
Jiraiya could only temporarily cast his self-reproach to the back of his mind and went over to check on Naruto's status.
