The next day, early in the morning.
A flustered Shizune and a bewildered Naruto stood at the hotel entrance.
Tsunade's disappearance left Shizune, who knew the inside story, at a loss.
I had planned to get up early to keep an eye on Lady Tsunade, but I never expected to be drugged by her.
"Whoosh!"
A slow-moving, crooked Kunai flew past, grazing Shizune's hair!
"Who?!"
When Shizune and Naruto turned around, they saw Jiraiya, leaning against the wall and moving slowly.
"You Pervy Sage, what's wrong with you?!"
Naruto quickly stepped forward to help his unreliable master.
After Jiraiya explained the reason, Shizune hesitated for a long time before finally revealing the inside story of the deal between Tsunade and Orochimaru.
"Let's catch up with them first, we'll talk in detail along the way!"
Jiraiya, suppressing his discomfort, had Shizune and Naruto help him to the trading location.
A vast plain covered in lush green grass.
Orochimaru stood on the boulder with his hands hanging down, watching the battle below.
Tsunade, who refused to help Orochimaru heal his injuries, is currently engaged in a fierce battle with Kabuto, who is also a medical genius, on the grasslands.
Tsunade, caught off Tsunade, had the muscles in her right thigh and right arm severed by Chakra Scalpel.
Kabuto's internal electrical signals were also disrupted by Tsunade's medical techniques.
The neural pathways that the brain uses to control the hands and feet are disrupted; when trying to move the left hand, the right foot moves instead.
I tried to move my left ankle, but instead moved my right shoulder.
But Kabuto quickly adapted to the changes and found the rhythm to control his body.
Looking at the somewhat tense battlefield below, Orochimaru chuckled and remained silent, not intervening.
This composed demeanor suggested that he was certain his crippled hands would be restored.
The rolling hills not far from the battlefield.
The hard rocks and soil inside had been completely hollowed out, and Shisui led the little ones to hide there.
Through tiny, thumb-sized holes, everyone could clearly see the battlefield outside.
"Although that old woman's strength is frightening, she doesn't look that powerful."
Suigetsu's complaints were not refuted by the younger members, who seemed to agree with her.
After all, the reputation of the Sannin is too renowned in the Shinobi World, while Tsunade's performance at this time is too mediocre.
Shisui shook his head and explained, "After World War II, Lady Tsunade left Konoha and spent the next one or two decades drinking and gambling."
"Perhaps it's because he hasn't experienced real combat in a long time that he looks like this."
"Once she adapts to the pace of real combat, that ninja from the Otogakure won't be a match for her."
As Shisui said,
The seemingly tense battlefield changed after Tsunade healed her torn muscles!
Even if you find the patterns to control your body, you'll never regain your previous agility!
Tsunade increased her speed, her straight fist infinitely close to Kabuto's head, "Prepare to die!!"
Once the muscle ruptures and heals, incredible strength surges back into the arm!
Despite being cornered by a terrifying punch that could kill instantly, Kabuto remained calm.
He brandished the Kunai in his hand, a glint of light flashing in his glasses. "As you said, the speed is indeed not as agile as before."
"But I'm not a simple character either!"
Tsunade's killing intent was palpable, completely ignoring the small Kunai in Kabuto's hand.
Even if the speed is fast enough, the Kunai cannot penetrate the flesh enveloped by the monstrous Chakra!
"Pfft!"
Blood splattered everywhere
Tsunade's straight fist hovered a few centimeters away from Tsunade's large face.
"Blood?!!"
Tsunade, her face splattered with hot blood, widened her eyes in shock and her body trembled uncontrollably.
"Your fatal weakness, Lord Orochimaru told me about it."
Kabuto pulled the sharp end of the Kunai from his palm, scattering a crimson spray once more!
Kabuto adjusted his glasses, looked at Tsunade was completely dazed, and laughed, "Since you're unwilling to cooperate, then I'll just have to make you suffer a little."
A sky-blue aura rose from his right hand as Kabuto slowly extended his hand, which held Chakra Scalpel, toward Tsunade's imposing chest.
There was no intention to include color.
Kabuto only wanted to stop her breathing and take the unconscious Tsunade back to the base!
"Bang!"
Just as Kabuto was about to make his move, a smoke bomb exploded right between the two of them!
After the smoke dissipates
Jiraiya, Shizune, Naruto, and a little pig perched on Jiraiya's shoulder.
The three of them and the pig stood in the center of the battlefield between Kabuto and Tsunade.
" Lady Tsunade?!"
Shizune returned to normal, and Tsunade, looking flustered, helped up from her kneeling Tsunade.
Jiraiya glanced at the Kekkei Genkai at his feet and roughly guessed the reason for Tsunade's dazed state.
Orochimaru, it's been a long time.
Jiraiya stood ramrod straight, seemingly unaffected by the drugs, and calmly said to Orochimaru, " Tsunade won't heal you, so give up on that idea."
Orochimaru did not respond, though he was surprised that Jiraiya had the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki present.
But Orochimaru's only concern at this moment was whether everything was within that person's calculations.
Still confused, Naruto didn't even hear Jiraiya's words, and instead looked at Kabuto in shock. "Senpai? What are you doing here?!"
Tanzaku Town
"Hey, Sasori, have you found Orochimaru's location yet?"
Deidara followed behind Sasori, speaking with a displeased expression.
They shouted "Let's go!" early in the morning, but then walked outside without saying anything.
The scorpion moved along the ground, its body crouching low, the hem of its red-clouded black robe gliding along the ground.
Sasori said in a hoarse voice, " Orochimaru's Chakra has been locked onto by my puppet. We'll be there soon. You should keep quiet for a bit."
"Cut!"
Deidara glared resentfully at Sasori's retreating figure. " Orochimaru is yours this time, but next time, make sure I treat you to a spectacular show!"
"Okay, it's settled." Scorpion said without turning around, "This time the target is mine, next time it's your turn."
OK!
Upon hearing this, Deidara's condition immediately improved, and he instantly became energetic.
"Then hurry up and go, Sasori, let me see Orochimaru's art." With his topknot swaying in the wind, Deidara strode forward, urging him on.
"Bang, bang bang!"
The enormous Manda, Katsuyu, Gamabunta!
The summoning beasts from the Three Great Sage Lands of the Summoning World have all appeared!
The curtain rises on the epic battle between the Sannin groups: prostitution, gambling, and drugs!
"Hey, Orochimaru!"
"I won't help such a troublesome opponent without at least a hundred human sacrifices."
It was enormous, with purplish-black stripes swirling around it.
Unlike other summoned beasts that are obedient, Manda's tone, though meant to be communicative, sounds more like a threat.
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru, standing atop Manda's head, simply replied, "After the battle, I will prepare sacrifices for you from one hundred people."
Inside the cave, Suigetsu and the others watched the upgraded battle and realized the power of the Sannin.
Even from a great distance, you can feel the terrifying power of the battlefield in the distance!
While Sasuke in shock, he also kept an eye on Naruto's actions.
The action Naruto took when he used the Rasengan to knock down Kabuto...
Sasuke was somewhat moved by the fact that his opponent was making rapid progress.
That burning desire to become stronger, and to capture Itachi, grew even stronger!
"Brother Shisui!"
Karin called out softly, her gaze pointing in surprise to the right-hand hillside of the battlefield, "There are two streams of Chakra over there that are no less powerful than the Sannin, and they're approaching!"
"Um?!"
Shisui frowned and looked in the direction Karin was pointing.
