Only I can make Konoha Village great again.

Manda was truly terrified.

It was more serious than ever before, not only opening its mouth wide to spew out precious and deadly venom, but also ignoring the burning flames, using its huge body to tightly wrap around the two-tailed creature's body, constantly tightening and strangling it.

Because of the poison from Yukito, the Two-Tailed Beast's chakra circulation was severely disrupted, making it impossible for him to utilize his agility to evade attacks.

After being tightly bound by the ten thousand snakes, it was subjected to immense strangulation, causing it to let out a mournful roar in pain. It struggled desperately, but could not break free of its restraints.

The venom of the Thousand Serpents was poured onto its body, but most of it was evaporated by the ghostly blue flames.

However, a small portion of the toxins dried and precipitated in the flames, then combined with the flames and seeped back into the Two-Tails' body, reacting violently with its chakra.

The Two-Tails' chakra not only failed to become its own fighting power, but instead became a hidden danger of violent explosions, causing it to spin around and become completely disoriented.

Tailed beasts are all chakra life forms. As their chakra is severely depleted, the enormous tailed beast's body rapidly shrinks and becomes extremely weak. Ultimately, it is entangled and squeezed by Manda until it collapses and disappears.

As Manda endured the intense burns and slowly swam away, only the two limp Yugitos remained on the ground.

She collapsed to the ground, utterly powerless, unable to resist or even stand up.

Orochimaru stepped forward, squatted down, and gently stroked the cheeks of the two Yugitos with his fingertips.

This isn't flirting, it's greed!

Orochimaru's eyes were filled with greed: "Excellent, perfect, perfect experimental material!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and formed a seal, and a series of sealing techniques landed on the two Yugitos, sealing their chakra from top to bottom and from the outside in.

Seeing Yugito's stubborn gaze, Orochimaru added another seal to her consciousness.

Then he signaled to the Konoha ninja beside him to take away his greatest spoils of war and keep them under strict guard.

At this moment, the gate of Kumogakure had been blown into the sky by Konoha ninja.

The Hidden Cloud Village had been completely breached. Yamanaka Hatsugu stood on one side of the broken gate, directing the Konoha ninja to pour into the Hidden Cloud Village in an orderly manner, and to start an even more brutal street battle inside the village.

His nerves were increasingly tense, his face devoid of any smile, and the operation of his Heart Severance Realm had reached an even higher limit.

"Faster, faster!"

"The ninjas of Kumogakure are madmen; they'll set traps in their own village!"

"We can't give them a chance to activate their safety mechanisms. We must end the fight completely before they can react!"

Upon hearing Yamanaka Hatsukyu's order, none of the Konoha ninja disbelieved it.

Because they have their own traps set in Konoha Village, and they check the safety of the traps every day to ensure that the safety devices are in the closed position and can be opened at any time.

The Konoha ninjas are madmen themselves, and the Kumogakure ninjas, who are even madder than them... will never let their homes be too cozy!

On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, the mountain dweller firmly remembered the principles of street fighting:

1. Don't walk on paths left by other people's owners, or go through walls!

2. Don't fight with the homeowner over the house, or burn it down!

3. Secure the highest point of the building complex and blow it up!

He commanded the Konoha ninja to occupy high ground, and whenever they spotted any Cloud Village ninja putting up a stubborn resistance, they would immediately bombard them with saturation of ninjutsu.

Let the rebellious Cloud Village ninja and his house...fly away!

In a short span of time, he commanded the Konoha ninja to demolish half of the buildings in Kumogakure.

The remaining buildings are all isolated, with at most a few huddled together.

The resistance in Kumogakure had not yet completely subsided when the street fighting in Kumogakure ended prematurely.

The alleyways are all gone.

When Orochimaru had completed his experiments and satisfied his desires, he licked his lips contentedly as he approached Yamanaka Hatsukyu. What he saw was the Hidden Cloud Village, which had been almost completely destroyed, and a large number of prisoners sitting in the shadows.

He clicked his tongue: "There are a bit too many prisoners."

Shan Zhongchu laughed and said, "Killing prisoners is an ominous sign."

His voice was hoarse, his eyes were bloodshot, and his head was throbbing from excessive thinking, but he was still operating the Heart Severance Boundary with all his might, desperately thinking and issuing commands.

Orochimaru looked at his student and his heart softened considerably.

He didn't disturb Chu Jiu in the mountains again, but silently guarded him from behind and quietly prepared a calming medicine.

After another ten minutes or so, Yamanaka Chujiu let out a long sigh of relief: "It's finally over."

"Heh, Orochimaru-sensei, all the Cloud Village ninjas have been dealt with, and we have completely conquered and occupied the village."

His voice was hoarse like sandpaper, but his tone was calm, as if he had just accomplished a trivial task.

Orochimaru handed the potion to the student: "Drink it. After you drink it, you'll have a good sleep, and your head won't hurt when you wake up."

"By the way, I also added throat-soothing ingredients, so you don't have to worry about a sore throat."

Shan Zhongchu Jiu smiled as he accepted the medicine and drank it all in one gulp: "Thank you, teacher."

Orochimaru laughed loudly: "Why are you thanking me?"

"It's me, the teacher, who should thank you."

"The capture of Kumogakure is such a great victory. As the supreme commander, I have benefited greatly from your direct command."

As he spoke, he took two steps forward and looked down at Cloud Village.

The golden snake eyes swept over the conquered ninja village, a smug smile curling at the corner of its mouth.

The smoke of battle had not yet dissipated, and half of the buildings had been reduced to ruins. The corpses and flowing blood scattered on the ground silently testified to the intensity of the battle and became a glorious testament to this victory.

Orochimaru, leading four thousand Konoha ninja, infiltrated through the Fourth Raikage's blockade, traveled three thousand kilometers, and carved through four countries.

With overwhelming force, they crushed the defenses of Kumogakure, occupied the undefended village, and captured the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.

The Third Shinobi World War had never seen such a glorious victory.

The Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure was able to hold his own against the Third Hokage, shamelessly acting like a rogue and using the Hokage's power to bully Konoha ninjas.

From now on, the Fourth Raikage is not qualified to speak to Orochimaru in terms of strength or status.

That's all!

After drinking the medicine, Yamanaka Chuji felt a cool and refreshing sensation in his throat, and his mind began to relax and even become scattered. However, he still stood beside Orochimaru, gazing into the distance.

Four thousand Konoha ninja were able to conquer Kumogakure, but they could not destroy it.

This victory was achieved by exploiting a weakness in the Fourth Raikage's thinking and launching a surprise attack from a strategic perspective.

Actually, this can't be blamed on the Fourth Hokage's type. It's because in the three Shinobi World Wars, it was always other clans' ninjas who attacked Konoha Village, and Konoha ninjas never retaliated on the land of a major country.

The Second Hokage never suffered a defeat in his life, but he was also unable to lead his army to victory.

The Third Hokage was a coward; the most ruthless counterattack he could imagine would only extend to neighboring small countries.

If they were to take another step forward, even just one foot into the Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, the Land of Lightning, or the Land of Water, it would cause panic among the Third Hokage's group.

Yamanaka Chukyu felt that there was a mental imprint in the minds of Konoha's F4: they firmly believed that the four great ninja villages were one.

Despite the usual infighting among the four major ninja villages, if Konoha threatens the survival of any of them, the other three will set aside their grudges and attack Konoha at any cost.

This caused countless troubles for the Konoha ninjas, but today it has become an advantage for their victory.

Life is unpredictable.
