Starting the fourth generation Hokage

Han's steam body technique spurted and jumped at a speed that was almost too fast for the naked eye to catch. It carried a huge impact. Orochimaru didn't wait for Orochimaru to react, and he rushed towards him.

Amidst the loud noise, Orochimaru, who was standing on the head of the brown snake, had no time to respond and was crushed by the red cannonball together with the ferocious brown snake at his feet.

Boom!

This blow was like a meteor falling to the ground!

On the battlefield, the other Konoha ninjas who were far away were all faintly frightened after witnessing this scene. What kind of strange power is this? I'm afraid its power is no less powerful than Tsunade-sama's taijutsu attack...

It's hard to imagine whether the target could survive such an attack.

Strangely, as the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, only the remains of Han and the brown snake that had been blown to the ground were revealed on the ground.

The brown snake suffered severe injuries. Its head had exploded and blood was splattered. It was dying. However, Orochimaru, who was under attack, seemed to be missing.

"Is this... a snake clone?"

Within the smoke and dust, the figure in red armor gradually became clearer. Han stood on the remains of the slowly dying brown snake, looking around in confusion. When his eyes caught a glimpse of Orochimaru's body that had been hit, and suddenly turned into several dead snakes strangely, he felt a little more wary.

Sure enough, the one hit by the jet jump was just the clone.

Click, click, click.

The next second, something even weirder happened. I saw the brown snake that was about to die, its huge broken snake head suddenly twitching, and then the mouth of the snake's head that was supposed to have lost its vitality slowly opened, and then a human figure crawled out from it.

"It's really a good power. Steam Body Technique really deserves its reputation..."

Apart from some mucus still staining his body, Orochimaru emerged from the snake's mouth almost unscathed. First, he stood up calmly, and then turned his approving eyes to Han.

With an evil smile, Orochimaru looked at the Five-Tails Jinchuuriki in front of him with interest. What finally caught his attention was the red armor. He has already discovered that Han's armor is not ordinary. After all, it must be able to withstand the high temperature and pressure of steam, and it must also be able to withstand high-intensity impact. Only by being able to do these two things at the same time can Han be able to use this strange power.

After hesitating for a moment, Orochimaru no longer held back. He opened his mouth and spit out a delicate long sword, holding it in his hand...

…

On the other side of the frontal battlefield in the Country of Grass, the battle was even more intense.

The main force of Konoha and the reinforcements that came later had already gathered together. Their offensive was fierce, and the Allied Forces of Iwa Ninja and Grass Ninja were defeated somewhat. Although it was two against one, the whole battle of the village was still involved in this battle. strength, so even if the Iwa Ninja has assistance, it is still difficult to defeat the Konoha army.

In this snow-white wilderness, various small ninjutsu and blood are blooming continuously, people are constantly falling, and lives are constantly passing away. When the chakra is exhausted, use ninja tools; when the ninja tools are exhausted, use physical combat.

Ninja group wars usually only use large-scale ninjutsu to attack each other during the confrontation stage.

Once you enter a melee, you will not use large-scale ninjutsu under normal circumstances. One of the reasons for doing this is to prevent accidental damage to friendly forces, and the other is to save chakra.

But there are exceptions to everything, and somewhere in this fierce battlefield, there is a strange no-man's land.

Magma and flames crisscrossed the area, almost changing the entire landscape. The snow originally covering the wilderness had melted in large areas, exposing the charred turf soil.

This purgatory-like environment was of course caused by a large range of ninjutsu.

Regardless of whether they were Iwa ninjas or Konoha ninjas, almost everyone knew that in this restricted area, they were fighting with the highest combat power of both of them, the four-tailed Jinchuuriki Lao Murasaki, and Jiraiya, one of the legendary three ninjas.

Swish——

On the scorched earth, a figure whose whole body was wrapped in high-temperature lava flames was running rapidly.

Its target is the white-haired middle-aged man who keeps dodging.

Watching Lao Zi in Melting Chakra Mode, he kept attacking fiercely. Jiraiya was already a little confused in dealing with it. It had to be said that it was really difficult for him to deal with this four-tailed Jinchūriki who was experienced in combat.

The flame temperature of Melting Escape is much higher than that of ordinary Fire Escape.

Jiraiya happened to be only good at Fire Release and Earth Release Ninjutsu, so when faced with Lao Zi's Melt Release Ninjutsu, he would naturally be at a disadvantage in a head-to-head fight, because most of his Ninjutsu were unable to resist the Melt Release Ninjutsu. of high temperature.

However, in the battle between the two sides, so far, neither of them has used their full strength. At this time, the two of them are more concerned about the battle situation not far away.

After once again embarrassingly dodging the attack of Lao Zi, who was covered in lava flames, Jiraiya quickly glanced into the distance and found that the Iwa Ninja was indeed in a state of defeat. Although the Grass Ninja came to help, Konoha's overwhelming power , they are still unable to resist.

After feeling slightly relieved, Jiraiya couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Old Purple-senpai, you Iwa ninjas are probably going to lose..."

On the scorched earth, the flames covering Lao Zi's body suddenly slowly dissipated, revealing an old man with red hair and a red beard wearing a rock ninja forehead protector.

He also looked into the distance and found that, as Jiraiya said, the defeat of the Iwa Ninja and Grass Ninja allies was becoming more and more obvious, but strangely, there was no trace of worry in his expression. .

“I’m afraid that may not be the case.

You know, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. "

Lao Zi suddenly smiled faintly, showing an enigmatic look.

For ninjas of their level, unless they have murderous intentions and use all their abilities without reservation, it will be absolutely difficult to tell the winner. And the two of them also know it well and understand that their respective tasks are nothing. It's just to contain the other party.

One person stopped, and the other person was happy to take a breath.

However, Lao Zi's calmness still made Jiraiya feel surprised.

As the commander of the frontal battlefield, the sudden entry of the four-tailed Jinchuuriki and the Grass Ninja troops into the battle had already caught him off guard. However, he knew clearly that his side had been defeated, but he was not anxious at all. Could it be that there was something treacherous about it? The last move?

Of course, Jiraiya is also a person with rich experience after all. He knew that the other party might be pretending to be calm, and he wanted to test it. He suddenly said in a slightly disdainful tone: "This is indeed true, but on the Grass Country front Konoha's defeat of Iwa Ninja happened in a blink of an eye, I really don't see how you can rely on it, Lao Zi-senpai."

"Hehehe, Jiraiya, although you are an excellent ninja, unfortunately you are not an excellent strategist."

Lao Zi smiled complacently, and then said with deep meaning: "The battlefield I'm talking about doesn't just refer to the Grass Country front."

"Besides, let's take a closer look. With the help of Kusanagi, it is impossible to defeat us in an instant..."

Jiraiya clearly felt that the other party was probably not bluffing. Although he was not proficient in strategy, he suddenly felt a crisis. However, he could not detect where this premonition of crisis came from.

This feeling is really uncomfortable.

At this moment, Minato Namikaze in the Hokage's office in Konoha Village also received the secret information sent back by the pharmacist Nonou using a psychic carrier pigeon. When he read the message, his face suddenly became very ugly. .

Because the content of Nonoyu's reply was that Yun Ninja had been secretly preparing for the war for a long time.

I'm afraid, there is a possibility of starting a war at any time...
