The Three Sannin Battle

She had finally overcome the hemophobia that had plagued her all her life.

At that moment, she was no longer the Tsunade who only knew how to run away. She was a candidate for the Fifth Hokage, ready to shoulder Konoha's responsibility and fight alongside her companions.

Tsunade let out an angry roar as chakra erupted from her entire body at full force.

Medical chakra and combat chakra intertwined. With a flash, she charged straight at Kabuto Yakushi, rapidly forming hand seals with both hands. "Monster Strength!"

Tsunade's fist was wrapped in dense chakra and carried overwhelming force.

It smashed toward Kabuto Yakushi. The wind from her punch howled, even denting the ground slightly.

Kabuto Yakushi's expression changed. He had not expected Tsunade to overcome her hemophobia. He quickly turned to evade, but Tsunade was far faster than he had anticipated.

"Bang!"

With a tremendous crash, Tsunade's fist struck Kabuto Yakushi squarely in the chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered back from the blow, crashing heavily into the wall. Chakra throughout his body fell into disarray, and his aura instantly weakened.

The Three Sannin had finally gone to war in full!

Jiraiya versus Orochimaru, Tsunade versus Kabuto Yakushi, with Naruto supporting from the side. On the battlefield, chakra clashed and ninjutsu intertwined. Explosions, roars, and the sounds of fists striking flesh echoed throughout the tavern. The scene was brutal and shocking.

Jiraiya's Sage Art was immensely powerful, his pale green sage chakra surging around him.

Every attack carried world-shattering power. Although Orochimaru could not form hand seals,

he relied on his formidable taijutsu and regenerative abilities to resist tenaciously. Black snakes continuously poured from his body and tangled with Jiraiya in battle. Every time Jiraiya wounded him, his body swiftly healed, as though he possessed an immortal body.

"Jiraiya, do you think you can defeat me with just this much?"

Orochimaru sneered. With a flicker, he appeared behind Jiraiya and spat a stream of black venom toward his back.

Jiraiya's gaze sharpened as he quickly sidestepped. The venom splashed against the wall and instantly corroded a massive hole into it. "Orochimaru, you demon! Today, I'll make you pay!"

Jiraiya rapidly formed hand seals, and his sage chakra erupted at full force.

"Sage Art: Frog Croak Shockwave!"

A deep, violent soundwave burst from Jiraiya's mouth, carrying immense impact.

It blasted toward Orochimaru. Wherever the soundwave passed, the air shook violently. Orochimaru felt a sharp pain in his eardrums, his head spinning as he staggered and nearly collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, Tsunade and Kabuto Yakushi's battle had also reached a fever pitch.

Tsunade's Monster Strength was terrifyingly powerful. Every punch and kick carried world-shattering force. The tavern floor had been smashed into countless craters, while the walls were covered in fist marks.

Kabuto Yakushi excelled in poison techniques and medical ninjutsu.

He continuously used poison techniques in an attempt to restrain Tsunade while constantly searching for an opening.

But Tsunade's Strength of a Hundred Seal not only enhanced her combat strength, it also allowed her to heal rapidly. No matter how Kabuto Yakushi attacked, Tsunade's wounds quickly closed, keeping her at peak condition.

"Lady Tsunade, you've actually become this strong!"

Kabuto Yakushi's face showed utter disbelief. He had never imagined that Tsunade's strength would increase so drastically after overcoming her hemophobia.

"Enough nonsense. Die!"

Tsunade roared and flashed before Kabuto Yakushi. She raised her hand and slammed her palm heavily onto his shoulder. With a crisp crack, his shoulder shattered, blood spraying out.

"Aah—!"

Kabuto Yakushi let out a pained scream. His entire body convulsed, and he could no longer fight. He collapsed onto the ground, barely clinging to life.

Naruto, meanwhile, continuously unleashed Rasengan from the side to support Jiraiya and attack Orochimaru. Golden Rasengan blasted toward Orochimaru again and again. Though they could not inflict fatal wounds, they still restrained his movements and prevented him from fully fighting Jiraiya.

"Brat, stop getting in the way!"

Orochimaru had grown thoroughly irritated by Naruto. With an angry roar, he opened his mouth and spat out a massive venomous snake that lunged at Naruto.

Naruto's eyes narrowed as Nine-Tails chakra erupted from his body once more. The phantom of a fourth tail appeared.

"Nine-Tails: Rasengan!"

The golden Rasengan, wrapped in dense Nine-Tails chakra, blasted toward the massive venomous snake. With a tremendous crash, the Rasengan instantly pulverized the snake, and its aftershock surged toward Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's expression changed, and he hurriedly dodged. Yet he was still struck by the aftershock, which blasted a small hole through his chest as blood gushed out. Though his regenerative abilities were formidable, the blow still injured him badly, and his aura became unstable.

Dust filled the battlefield, and blood covered the ground.

The aftershocks of the Three Sannin's battle continued to spread. The entire tavern had long since been destroyed beyond recognition. Walls had collapsed, rubble flew everywhere, and the air was thick with the stench of blood, the scorched smell of clashing chakra, and a suffocating pressure.

Jiraiya was covered in wounds, and more than half of his sage chakra had been depleted.

Yet his eyes remained resolute as he stared fixedly at Orochimaru without the slightest hint of retreat.

Though Tsunade was injured as well, she remained full of vigor. Chakra surged around her body as she prepared to launch her next attack at any moment.

Naruto was covered in wounds, and barely any Nine-Tails chakra remained, but he still stood in front of them both. His gaze was firm, without the slightest fear.

Orochimaru looked at the scene before him, a vicious smile appearing on his face. Though he was injured and unable to form hand seals, he still had not given up. A trace of madness flashed in his eyes. "Jiraiya, Tsunade, do you think this is enough to defeat me? How naive!"

With that, chakra erupted from Orochimaru's body once more.

Black chakra surged like a tide as his body began to undergo a bizarre transformation. His skin turned pale, black scales grew across his body, and his pupils became slits.

He was going to use a forbidden technique. Even if it meant burning his own chakra, he would defeat Jiraiya and Tsunade!

An even more brutal battle was about to erupt!

The chakra around Orochimaru's body went completely berserk.

Black, eerie chakra spread like ink as his body began to mutate violently.

Fine black scales emerged across his skin. His eyes completely turned into slits, his mouth stretched into a grin that revealed sharp fangs, and several long snake tails even grew from his back.

He looked increasingly savage and terrifying, and the oppressive aura around him surged in an instant, far surpassing his previous peak.

"Forbidden Technique: Snake Shedding Technique!"

Orochimaru's voice turned hoarse and piercing, filled with utter madness.

"Since you refuse to submit, then you can all be buried with me!"

As his words fell, the snake tails behind him whipped violently, lashing toward Jiraiya. The scales on them glinted with icy light as they carried world-shattering force. Wherever they passed, the air was torn apart, releasing a piercing shriek.
