"Little Jiraiya!"
The two immortals exclaimed in surprise.
Jiraiya's eyes flashed with a sharp light; instead of retreating, he advanced, clasping his hands together in front of his chest.
" Gamahiro!"
The taciturn Gamahiro, carrying Jiraiya, Jiraiya leaped into the air. As he leaped, he slashed forward with his twin swords, the massive blades withstanding the Brilliance lightning!
On the other side, Gamaken used his rice bowl shield to block the blue flames spewed by the Yugito.
He brandished the harpoon in his hand, scattering the incoming Fire Rat Ball.
While parrying with his twin swords, Gamahiro was simultaneously preparing Ninjutsu in his mouth:
Water Release: Iron Cannon Ball!
A continuous barrage of high-pressure water bombs blasted forward!
Yugito was forced to retreat repeatedly, and the Two-Tails within him became even more agitated.
The blue Chakra Cloak became increasingly solid, and the tail transformed from one to two.
Her attacks became more frantic, but lacked strategy, and she was restrained by the experienced Gamaken.
boom!!!
Gamahiro's twin swords and solidified Water Gun collided fiercely with Hell Stab!
A blinding blue-white light engulfed everything, and a terrifying energy shockwave exploded outwards in a ring!
With the sound of metal breaking, a green figure, covered in blood, flew backward.
The light faded.
Jiraiya knelt on one knee, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his right sleeve torn, and his arm trembling slightly.
Gamahiro took the brunt of Jiraiya's Hell Stab, but could no longer hold on and turned into white smoke, returning to Mount Myōboku.
The Third Raikage was scorched by the intense heat of the flames. He barely managed to break free of the flames thanks to his Lightning Armor, and swung his arm as he looked at Jiraiya, who had been caught in the blast.
The two stared intently at each other, both knowing the other still had strength left, but both were also seriously injured.
Meanwhile, in the battle on the other side, Yugito's Tailed Beast Cloak had almost completely covered his body.
Her two Chakra tails thrashed wildly, her eyes rolled back, and she clutched her head, whimpering in pain.
" Yugito, control the Two-Tails!"
"Hold that Toad back while I kill Jiraiya, then I'll come help you!"
Raikage caught a glimpse of this, and a hint of anxiety flashed in his single eye.
Although the Two-Tails could cause enormous destruction if it went berserk, uncontrolled, indiscriminate attacks were not what he wanted.
We must finish this quickly!
The green Toad helped you block my previous One-Finger Nukite, now let's see how you deal with this one!
The Third Raikage's hair flew wildly under the impact of the Lightning Release Armor as he gathered Chakra once more, extending a finger towards Jiraiya!
" Hell Stab - One-Finger Nukite!"
Just then, a golden figure appeared— Minato Namikaze had arrived!
He didn't arrive alone; he brought Orochimaru and Tsunade at the same time!
Seeing the Brilliance lightning emanating from the Third Raikage, Orochimaru Body Flicker Technique appeared at the front of the formation, Hand Seals:
"My third uncle is here to fix the door!"
Triple Rashomon!
As three hideous gates of hell rose from the ground, they forcefully blocked the Third Raikage's lightning!
Boom! Boom! Boom--!
The three solid Rashomon were pierced one after another by the Third Raikage's One-Hit Thrust!
The Third Raikage, with only one arm remaining, burst forth from the broken Rashomon like a demon god:
Die!
" Peerless Monster Strength Fist!"
Tsunade, clad in an improved augmented mecha, stood before Jiraiya, her body radiating the chakra of Medical Ninjutsu. Chakra charged up and unleashed a powerful punch!
Tsunade's pale fist slammed directly into the Third Raikage's One-Finger Nukite!
Back in the fortress of the Land of Wind, Tsunade suffered a great loss when facing the Third Raikage's Four-Finger Nukite!
The penetrating hand attack combined with Lightning Release Chakra broke through the defenses, causing damage that reached deep into the bones.
With the custom-made Mukai mecha that Tsunade obtained through a combination of stealing and trickery, she's terrifyingly strong!
Break through defenses? Not a chance!
Lightning paralysis? How about a grounded Faraday cage?
The Third Raikage's One-Finger Nukite had lost all its power when it pierced through the three Rashomon. Faced with Tsunade's full-force punch, he was directly knocked away!
Minato spoke first:
" Jiraiya- sensei, Iwagakure has collapsed and will surrender soon."
As arranged by Mukai, we have come to provide support.
Tsunade, who had just punched the Third Raikage, was in high spirits. Clutching her augmented armor made of ultra-pure Chakra Metal, she said to Jiraiya:
" Jiraiya, you big idiot! Didn't I just ask you to use the supercapacitor to hold the Raikage back?"
At a time like this, you still want to save money for that arrogant brat?!
As she spoke, Tsunade tossed over a strange, lightweight mecha, the kind with a jetpack on its back.
"Wearing this, the single-soldier mech made by that kid Mukai has excellent protective capabilities, Chakra amplification, and short-duration flight ability."
"Of course, yours is a mass-produced model, it can't compare to what I'm wearing."
Tsunade crossed her arms and said, a pose that made Chibaku Tensei even more eye-catching.
However, having reconciled with himself, Jiraiya was much more serious than before. He remarked:
"I never expected that the ninja war, which I thought would be a meat grinder, would turn out like this."
Tsunade, have you decided to go back and compete for the Hokage position?
Tsunade nodded vigorously:
"Of course, I won't let those old guys ruin the village that my grandfather and second grandfather built!"
Therefore, I'll gladly accept the credit for ending this ninja war!
Orochimaru, his face pale, licked his lips and reminded him in a hoarse voice:
"We can catch up with classmates after the battle. The Two-Tails has already started its rampage, and the Eight-Tails is on its way with a large force. Let's finish this quickly!"
Tsunade put her finger to her lips and said loudly:
" Minato's Flying Thunder God is incredibly powerful, allowing him to bring us here ahead of time. Pakura's Scorch Release is also bringing reinforcements behind us, so there's no need to worry."
Let's clean this place up first!
We, the Konoha Sannin, haven't fought side by side in a long time! Let's go!
Orochimaru and Jiraiya put their fingers to their mouths and bit down hard.
With blood smeared on their fingers, the three of them almost simultaneously Hand Seals and slammed them onto the ground:
" Summoning Technique!"
A gigantic Manda, a grumpy-faced Gamabunta, Katsuyu with a mature, older-sister voice.
Three enormous summoned beasts appeared simultaneously beneath the three of them.
" Lord Orochimaru, thank you for shielding me from Dust Release last time. Are you alright?"
Gamabunta took a deep drag on his pipe and said in confusion:
"Is this the most ill-tempered Manda?"
Has everyone become more docile after attending a class reunion? That's rare!
Manda glared at the sharp-tongued Gamabunta, but did not issue a threat as he had before.
Orochimaru was very satisfied with Manda's performance; now that's what a proper summoning beast should be like!
Gamabunta exhaled a smoke ring and remarked with a sigh:
"The reunion of the Konoha Sannin is truly something to celebrate."
"Is this the troublesome Third Raikage?"
Jiraiya nodded and stood steadily on Gamabunta's head.
"Yes, Gamabunta, don't underestimate him. This Third Raikage is extremely troublesome."
Gamabunta gripped the hilt of his sword and said dismissively:
"Then let him see how sharp my knife is!"
