Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 501 Master and Disciple Meet

"Since the previous three figures have all shown their skills, it wouldn't be right for me not to show mine as well."

Tobirama and the First Mizukage simultaneously formed hand seals, their mouths bulging like toads, and the accumulated chakra was expelled in a burst. It surged and overflowed upon landing, spreading outwards and forming a gigantic oval water prison.

The Allied Shinobi Forces watching from afar were utterly dumbfounded. What incredibly powerful ninjutsu! "Is this what our ancestors' battles were like?!"

Even before Hashirama and the other Kage officially began their battle, the Allied Shinobi Forces had been constantly retreating to avoid being caught in the crossfire. Now, they had retreated to a distance of tens of kilometers, where they could still witness the intensity of the battle.

Inside the water dungeon, Hashirama clapped his hands, and a wooden dragon emerged from the ground. Hashirama rode on the dragon's head, intending to leave.

This water prison moves with the caster, and he cannot swim as fast as the First Mizukage and Tobirama, who are both proficient in water.

Tobirama and the First Mizukage formed hand seals together, creating a gigantic blue whale in the water. The whale swam towards the Wood Dragon and caught up with it in an instant. It opened its mouth and swallowed both Hashirama and the Wood Dragon whole.

Water Release: The Technique of the Illusory Kun

This water-style ninjutsu has an extremely powerful chakra absorption ability; even someone with a vast chakra reserves like Hashirama could clearly feel his own chakra rapidly decreasing.

This can't go on any longer...

Inside the blue whale, Hashirama clapped his hands together, forming a hand seal. The wooden dragon opened its mouth, and the blue whale seemed to be attracted by some kind of suction, making it difficult to maintain its shape and causing it to disintegrate. Then, along with the surrounding water, it flowed continuously towards the wooden dragon.

At the same time, the wooden dragon's body was also changing. Dense vegetation grew on its body, and in the blink of an eye, the huge water area around it was completely absorbed by the wooden dragon, which then transformed into a towering tree.

But that wasn't all. The tree sprouted countless vines, twisting and turning wildly, rushing forward like a flood.

The five figures leaped and bounded, dodging the vines.

The slowest of the three, the First Mizukage, was slowed down again and unfortunately got caught. These vines had a strong suction force, and even the First Mizukage's chakra was instantly drained.

If it weren't for the Impure World Reincarnation, he would have been drained of his life force by now.

Tobirama spat out a torrent of water from his mouth, sharp as an arrow, which cut the vines that were binding the First Mizukage in two.

Tobirama looked at the towering tree and squinted.

The principle behind Hashirama's attack reminded him of the Ten-Tails' perfect form, the Divine Tree.

As expected, Hashirama is special...

buzzing...

The ground shook and made a loud buzzing sound. In the distance, a huge wooden figure came running towards them, and with each step, the ground shook like an earthquake.

Standing atop the wooden dummy's head, the pillar roared, "Sandalus..."

"Come on, Hashirama."

Tobirama and the other Kage jumped onto the Mountain Giant's head. With the chakra transferred from the five Kage, the Mountain Giant's power was no less than that of the Wooden Dummy Technique.

The mountain giant and the wooden dummy clashed palm to palm, creating a massive explosion that unleashed a powerful gust of wind that blew everything in its vicinity away.

Other battlefields.

Lush and verdant, within the forest.

The ninja alliance of several thousand men halted their advance. There were only seven enemies blocking their way, six men and one woman, all dressed in black trench coats embroidered with red clouds, with nail polish on their nails and a scratch on their headbands.

The Allied Ninjas looked at the seven people. Except for the woman, who seemed relatively normal, the other six all had wavy pupils. "Damn it, who are these people? There shouldn't be any ninjas like this in history."

"Shinra Tensei..."

One of them raised his hand, releasing a powerful force of the Five Elements repulsion forward, blasting away the ninja alliance forces that were trying to intercept him and clearing a wide path.

The ability to use this technique is undoubtedly that of Pain.

Konan looked at the scattered ninja alliance and sighed, "I never thought that even after death, I would still be at that guy's beck and call. It's really unpleasant."

As soon as she finished speaking, a large number of shuriken came from all directions, literally piercing through Konan's body. However, before that, Konan's body had already turned into white paper floating in the air.

Xiao Nan warned, "Don't use physical attacks on me."

The Allied Ninjas formed hand seals and breathed out flames, creating a blazing fireball that rolled towards them.

The white paper wings behind Xiao Nan peeled off, folded into a shuriken, and shot out at high speed.

Paper's weakness is fire, a fact known to all. Yet, this simple truth, understood even by children, has been reversed in this case. The paper not only resists the attack of the flames but even pushes back the fireballs, sending them hurtling towards the enemy.

The ninja who had just used Fire Release was covered in paper shuriken, as if he had been hit by real iron shuriken, his body riddled with wounds and bleeding profusely.

"Why isn't the Fire Release technique working?"

A ninja looked on incredulously; this was illogical and illogical.

Konan explained, "My ninjutsu makes me impervious to water and fire, but my weakness is oil."

The Allied Ninjas were completely bewildered.

What kind of weakness is that? What normal ninja would be so stupid as to use oil as an attack?

"Be careful, they're coming."

Xiao Nan's body went out of control. She clasped her hands together and rubbed them slightly to create a white paper flower in the shape of a rose. With a movement of her hands up and down, the paper flower spiraled upwards like a bamboo dragonfly.

During this process, the paper flower grew larger and larger until it reached its highest point before stopping. However, along with it, countless pieces of paper scattered in all directions along the direction of the paper flower's rotation, then spun rapidly downwards.

The Heavenly Maiden Scattering Paper

This attack has an extremely wide range and is extremely fast, making it very difficult to dodge. Wherever it hits, the Allied Shinobi Forces scream in agony.

Seeing this, Xiao Nan murmured, "Whoever comes, please stop us."

However, such words are just empty talk. With the Six Paths of Pain, plus Konan, and Nagato's true form hiding nearby, defeating them would be no easy task.

"Go and summon Aokiji. You alone cannot defeat us."

As soon as Xiao Nan finished speaking, she suddenly sensed something. In the blink of an eye, darkness fell over her head, and before she could think further, she and the other six, including Pain, scattered in different directions.

In the blink of an eye, a gigantic object descended from the sky with a deafening roar. When the billowing smoke cleared, it revealed three enormous toads.

On the left is a large, purplish-red toad dressed in black ninja attire, with U-shaped black tattoos on its face, carrying a pot-lid-shaped shield, and wielding a harpoon covered in thorns.

On the right is a green toad, arms crossed, two swords on its back, standing proudly.

The one occupying the center position is a red toad with a fierce appearance. It has a long vertical scar on its right eye, a giant pipe in its mouth, wears an old-fashioned coat, has bandages around its waist, and a short knife stuck in its waist, looking like a mafia boss.

This exaggerated entrance instantly attracted everyone's attention. Looking closely, one could see that a tall, middle-aged man was standing on top of the toad in the center position. He was dressed in a gray ninja outfit, with a red coat over his shoulders and wooden clogs, and a huge scroll was slung across his back.

He has long white hair, wears a headband with a large "oil" character written on it, and has a mole near his nose.

Xiao Nan and Payne noticed the man, and the man also noticed the people on the ground.

Looking at each other from afar, Konan addressed him, "Jiraiya-sensei..."

"Xiao Nan..."

Jiraiya looked at Konan's lifeless face, sighed deeply, and felt an endless sorrow welling up in his heart.

His gaze shifted, landing on the Six Paths of Pain, locking onto the Deva Path Pain, and he continued, "Yahiko..."
