In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 57 Orochimaru!
Hanzo's strength is unquestionable.

But Chiyo isn't bad either.

More than 20 years later, Chiyo, who has completely declined from her peak, still maintains the combat effectiveness of a "Kage" level. Now that Chiyo is at her peak, as long as she is not caught by the enemy at close range, the strength she can exert can rank among the top Kage level.

The two have fought many times, with both sides winning and losing. They know each other's methods well, so this fight will not have a result in the short term.

The one who really decides the outcome is the ninja below.

Unless you are as strong as the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara, you cannot ignore a large-scale, organized ninja army.

Even if it was the Five Kage of the present time, if they were besieged by thousands of ninjas and could not find a chance to break out, they would end up dying from exhaustion.

The Sand Village of this era is not yet the place where its strong men have died off, funding has been cut, and its strength has been weakened to the bottom of the five major ninja villages after more than 20 years.

The average quality of the current Sand Village ninjas is very high. Even though the combat power of the Rain Village ninjas is quite good, they still have the upper hand.

Qingshui stood beside Feng Shang Qianlan and used the fat man's shoulders to support his body to get a better view of the situation on the battlefield.

"Something seems to be wrong. Why do I feel like these Rain Ninjas are not using their full strength?"

Qingshui looked at it for a while and asked curiously.

"The Rain Ninja knows that he can't beat us, so there's no need to fight hard."

Maki acted as if it was a matter of course.

In his opinion, our Sand Village is the best in the world, so the performance of the Rain Village ninja is normal.

"This means they are feinting."

Feng Shang Qianlan gave an explanation.

"The Rain Village Ninjas definitely didn't go out alone. No matter how good Hanzo is at fighting, he can't defeat us with this group of Rain Village Ninjas. Therefore, there must be another surprise force from the Konoha Ninjas. But there's no need to worry too much. We have already informed the Iwagakure Ninjas, and they have already sent out the Explosion Force to block the road from the Konoha camp to us."

Qingshui sat on the fat man's shoulder and looked at the blurry battle in the distance.

That's true, I don't need to worry too much.

Chiyo is a veteran Kage-level master, a veteran on the battlefield, and very experienced. There must be a think tank-like role in the team. The other jonin and the like have been ninjas longer than he is old. What a Chunin with little experience like himself can think of, they must have already made plans.

Unfortunately, Shimizu was wrong, and the top leaders of the Sunagakure team were also missed.

In other words, they underestimated the strength of Konoha.

In a valley dozens of kilometers away from the Sand Hidden Camp.

"Haha, Orochimaru, you are smart. You guessed that the Iwagakure ninja would definitely ambush us here."

On top of a red toad that was no smaller than the Salamander Izuku, a tall white-haired man crossed his arms and laughed at his companion who was standing beside him on top of the purple giant snake.

"It's not that simple. Even if we lose the advantage of ambush, the combat effectiveness of the explosive force cannot be underestimated."

Orochimaru looked at the fierce battle and the explosions one after another, and said with a stern face.

"Besides, no matter how strong Hanzo is, he will not be able to survive in front of the Sand Village army. Now that Sand Village and Iwagakure have joined forces, we probably won't be able to defeat them in a short time. For now, we can only kill more enemies while we still have the advantage, reduce the enemy's threats and future variables."

Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue to lick his lips, then turned to look at Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya, since this group of Iwagakure got here before us, they must have arranged a retreat. If they want to capture them all, many of us will die."

"Whatever you say, I'll do it."

Jiraiya waved his hand and left the thinking to his external brain.

"Let's gather our strength and open a way out. You take a thousand people to stop the Iwagakure. Just delay the enemy without killing them. I will take the rest of the people to join Hanzo and give priority to attacking the Sunagakure."

Orochimaru didn't say anything more. This would mean that more losses would be spread on the heads of Yugakure.

"Just leave it to Master Jiraiya!"

Jiraiya patted his chest and called on Gamabunta to jump to the center of the battlefield.

……

……

"It seems that Yuyin and Konoha will return empty-handed this time."

Feng Shang Qianlan said while arranging personnel to prevent Yu Yin from coming nearby and causing damage to logistical supplies, he kept an eye on the main battlefield.

The fierce battle between the two sides has lasted for more than an hour.

Thunder, little rain.

In this massive ninja battle involving thousands of people, not many people have died so far.

Seeing that they could not wait for reinforcements from Konoha, the morale of the Amegakure clan had begun to decline and they were unwilling to fight. The Sunagakure clan focused on solid defense and did not seek to advance rashly.

There would be no result if they continued fighting like this. All Hanzo could do was to lead his men to evacuate as soon as possible to minimize the losses.

"Hmph, old puppet woman, I'm hungry. I'll come and settle the score with you next time I'm full."

Hanzo fought with the Ox-faced Puppet again, then instantly returned to the top of the Salamander Ibuki, found an excuse, and said something harsh to Chiyo.

"Humph, I'm afraid you don't dare to come!"

Chiyo manipulated the Chikamatsu Ten to display themselves in front of her. Looking majestic, she had actually secretly removed the encirclement of Hanzo by the ten puppets.

The Sand Village has just arrived in the Rain Country. They are an army that has come from afar and are tired from the march. They must first advance steadily and gain a firm foothold.

Although Chiyo is not afraid of Hanzo, she also acknowledges his strength. In a fight to the death, even if Sunagakure can win, too many people have died and they will definitely not be able to defeat Konoha in the future.

However, at this time.

Several ninjas from the perception class in the Sand Village camp looked up in panic.

"Not good! A few kilometers to the east, there is a large-scale chakra movement, suspected to be... Konoha ninja!"

Hanzo, who was about to retreat, had just returned to his own formation when he also heard the report from his sensing ninja.

"Hahahaha! Old lady Chiyo! We didn't have enough fun just now, let's continue!"

Hanzo picked up the chain sickle again and charged into battle.

Chiyo, who had just received the news from the Perception Squad, looked grim. She summoned the Ten Kinmatsu again and stopped Hanzo.

"Old man with a snorkel! Didn't you just say you were hungry and wanted to go home for dinner? How come you're back so soon!"

"Haha, I don't know why, but my stomach is suddenly full, old puppet lady, don't you think it's magical?"

Logistics Office.

Feng Shang Qianlan pulled out the ninja sword wrapped in cloth on his back.

"Reserve troops, squads one to six, go join up with the melee troops, and follow me to guard the east! Squads seven to ten, continue to defend the warehouse!"

The team that Shimizu and others belong to happens to be the tenth team of the reserve force.
