Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

I said, "Is it because you can't bring yourself to harm these former comrades?"

If that's the case, you don't need to do anything; I'll handle things here.

"Humph!"

Faced with Hanzo's half-true, half-false probing questions, Tobirama Senju did not respond.

However, he clearly intends to respond to his question with action.

His figure slowly rose into the air and arrived above the many Konoha ninja.

As he moved, his gaze grew increasingly cold.

Just as he arrived at the center of the densest concentration of Konoha ninja, he finally stopped.

He looked down at the crowd below, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, and spread his arms to the sides.

Although they didn't know what he wanted to do, it was clear that Jiraiya and the others couldn't just stand there and let him launch an attack.

So just as his body stopped hovering in mid-air, Orochimaru, who had been watching him, shouted loudly to the crowd:

"Don't let him make a move, attack!"

At his command, the group, who had been prepared long ago, immediately activated their ninjutsu.

No one can enter this valley except for genin; even chunin are experienced warriors.

Everyone's hand seals were formed at an astonishing speed.

Just a second later, countless colorful energies lit up among the crowd.

After a slight pause, various flames, water bullets, and lightning bolts swarmed towards Tobirama Senju in mid-air like a dense swarm of bees.

Countless ninjutsu attacks surrounded him in mid-air, forming a semicircle.

As Tobirama Senju was about to be struck, everyone reacted differently.

"Even the real Tobirama Senju wouldn't be able to withstand such a number!"

"We may be small, but we still have nearly a thousand people!"

"But why did he...?"

"Why is his face still so calm?!"

Jiraiya and the other two also harbored doubts.

As those who knew Madara Uchiha's strength best, they were well aware that he could not possibly be defeated by such an attack.

However, these powerful ninjutsu were already in front of him, so why did he still not make a move?

Just as everyone was wondering, Tobirama Senju smiled as he watched the various ninjutsu techniques that were about to be unleashed upon him.

He stretched out both hands to the sides and whispered:

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

Chapter 58 Tsunade's Mark

As soon as he uttered those words, the entire battlefield fell into a sudden silence.

Tsunade and the others' expressions changed as they sensed an extremely powerful aura emanating from Tobirama Senju in mid-air.

The next second, an unseen force emanated from him in a circle in all directions.

The various ninjutsu that were about to be concentrated on him instantly changed direction and rushed back towards the caster after coming into contact with that unseen power.

Boom~ Rumble rumble rumble~~~

After a loud bang, a series of explosions followed.

A huge plume of smoke slowly rose from the battlefield, much to the disbelief of Jiraiya and the others.

The ninjutsu that should have been aimed at the enemy instead rushed towards their own side.

This transformation happened in an instant, leaving Tsunade and the others no time to react.

As the massive plume of smoke dissipated, cries of agony echoed in their ears.

The three of them looked closely and saw that most of the people in their group were lying on the ground.

Severed limbs and blood were everywhere, and cries of pain reached their ears.

They are relatively lucky compared to those who have temporarily survived.

Looking from their direction, they saw a huge semicircle appear on the ground centered on Tobirama Senju.

The ninjas who had been standing below him had vanished without a trace.

In the dim light, one could see patches of bloodstains made of flesh and blood in the semi-circular pit.

His single strike resulted in the loss of nearly 7-8% of the team of almost a thousand people!

Recalling what had just happened, Orochimaru, covered in cold sweat, trembled as he said:

"he...

His move can reflect all attacks!

No wonder he deliberately came to that spot...

Upon hearing Orochimaru's analysis, Tsunade and Jiraiya immediately understood.

It turns out that he had deliberately floated above them not to show off, but to lure them into attacking him.

Compared to the semi-circular crater, the vast majority of people were injured by the ninjutsu that bounced back from him.

But it was too late to say anything now. Looking at her fallen comrades, Tsunade's eyes showed regret.

She quickly bit her finger, drew blood in her palm, and then slammed it down onto the ground.

"Bang~"

With a puff of smoke, the giant slug appeared before her.

Tsunade didn't have time to explain and directly gave the order:

"Quickly split up and save the wounded."

However, before the slug could respond, a voice rang out from behind them.

"No need, they can't be saved."

I said, "Have you all forgotten about me?"

Upon hearing this voice, Tsunade and the others' expressions changed drastically.

They quickly turned around and saw that Hanzo had summoned his salamander, Ibuki, at some point.

He stood atop the enormous fish head, and even with the respirator obstructing his view, the mocking expression on his face was still visible.

Just as he finished speaking, the salamander Ibuki at his feet opened its enormous mouth.

A thick cloud of purple poisonous mist rapidly spewed out from the gaping maw of the abyss.

In just a moment, the purple poisonous mist enveloped the entire battlefield!

On the other side, outside the valley.

The sounds of battle inside the valley could be heard even by Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others outside the valley.

As the loud noises continued to ring out, Hiruzen Sarutobi's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

However, no matter how hard they tried, the crimson curtain of fire remained unmoved, like an impregnable castle.

Among them were many self-proclaimed masters of physical combat who attempted to break through the barrier using physical attacks.

However, these people's bodies would spontaneously combust as soon as they touched the fiery barrier.

Moreover, the flames they were burning were not ordinary flames. If Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't used a sealing technique to seal them, these people would probably have been burned alive.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a blue bolt of lightning rushed from afar towards them.

The crowd was so blinded by the blue lightning that they had to shield their eyes with their arms.

When they lowered their arms and opened their eyes again, they saw Kagura's figure appear before them.

Kagura, who finally arrived at the scene after using all her strength, frowned as she watched the Jonin of Konoha relentlessly attacking the Flame Curtain.

Seeing this, his face became even more somber.

Turning to look at Hiruzen Sarutobi beside him, he suddenly asked:

"So, they've already gone in, right?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally understood who "they" referred to.

Like Kagura, he nodded silently, his mood also low.

Hearing the news that she least wanted to hear from Hiruzen Sarutobi made Kagura's heart grow even heavier.

In fact, he had already guessed this outcome when he saw the huge flame barrier unfold.

Since Hanzo went to great lengths to set a trap for his opponent, it must mean that someone had already entered the valley before he revealed the true nature of the trap.

After seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi nod, Kagura said nothing more and closed her eyes to sense something.

Seeing Kagura's appearance, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but say:

"We've tried, but it's simply impossible to break..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Kagura interrupted him, saying:

"I can get in without breaking the barrier."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback at first, but then immediately realized what he meant.

He already knew that Kagura knew the Flying Thunder God Ninjutsu.

As a former bodyguard of Tobirama Senju, the creator of the Flying Thunder God Technique, this "Ninja World Doctor" naturally knows a great deal about this ninjutsu.

Strictly speaking, the Flying Thunder God Technique belongs to the space-time ninjutsu category.

(Similar to Obito's Kamui, a space-time ninjutsu.)

It doesn't make the caster faster, but rather allows the caster to break through space and arrive at the fixed point they have marked.
