This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

The gap in strength could not be bridged, just as the Sannin had predicted before the battle.

This time on the battlefield, time is on Konoha's side. It is almost foreseeable that even if the Sannin don't do anything, just by delaying Hanzo of the Salamander, victory will be within reach.

But can Hanzo of the Salamander really let the Sannin get what they want so easily?

"boom!!!"

Tsunade angrily slapped the air again, and the residual power emanating from her palm shattered the earth.

Facing Tsunade's powerful attacks, Hanzo once again dodged with his extraordinary agility of 3.4.

At this moment, he really seemed like a slimy salamander.

But just as Hanzo dodged, the sharp sound of breaking wind came from behind him again.

It was Orochimaru who predicted Hanzo's landing point and attacked.

“Dang!!!!”

Hanzo raised the sickle in his hand to block, and there was a sound of metal clashing.

"Stab!!!"

Hanzo exerted more force, and dazzling sparks burst out from the place where the sickle and the sword touched.

Orochimaru, holding the Kusanagi sword, was cut flying by the sword.

At the same time, Orochimaru, who was knocked out, had his middle gate wide open, revealing all his flaws.

"Uh-huh!!!"

Fortunately, Jiraiya came to the rescue in time and used his hair to force Hanzo back, giving Orochimaru a chance to catch his breath.

Chapter 495: The Legendary Spiritual Beast

Facing Jiraiya's long hair flying towards him, Hanzo Salamander raised his hand and swung the sickle in his hand with all his might.

"bass!!!"

The knife flashed, and the white hair was instantly cut off and flew all over the sky.

After the attack, Hanzo of the Salamander felt that the chakra in his body had been mostly recovered, and simply seized the opportunity to quickly form hand seals.

Ninja Technique: Mud Bullet Technique!!!

Then, Hanzo suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a large number of mud bombs with a diameter of several meters towards the three ninjas.

Seeing this, the three ninjas couldn't continue to fight against Hanzo's ninjutsu, so they could only dodge and move around.

Seeing that he had successfully forced the three ninjas to retreat, Hanzo of the Salamander simply stopped hiding.

He planned to use all his strength to end the battle directly. He bit his right thumb and began to form seals quickly again.

"Peng!"

As a gust of mist passed by, an ugly monster was summoned by Hanzo of the Salamander.

Spiritual communication. Salamander Ibushi!

“Boohoo!!!!”

After Hanzo summoned this poisonous salamander, it immediately opened its big scarlet mouth and kept making strange whimpering sounds. The sound was like a crying child and sounded very strange.

The moment they saw this summoned beast, the three ninjas were on full alert.

There is no other reason, the reputation of the highly poisonous Salamander is too loud in the ninja world. As the most famous ability of Salamander Hanzo, this highly poisonous skill has always been his signature.

Whenever this Salamander appears on the battlefield, it means that Salamander Hanzo will no longer show mercy and intends to completely end his opponent.

"Youngsters, it is an honor for you to die under Jingfu's poison."

Standing on top of the Sanshoku Ibu, Hanzo proudly spoke to the Sannin below. Hanzo's expression clearly showed his confidence in the Sanshoku's venom.

And this confidence is built on the corpses of countless strong men who died from this poison in the past.

The three ninjas looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.

Seeing that Hanzo of the Salamander had revealed his trump card, the three ninjas no longer hid it and planned to use their last trump card.

Ninja technique. Psychic summoning technique!!!

The three ninjas formed hand seals and performed summoning techniques at almost the same speed.

"Peng!!!!"

Three clouds of smoke rose up, and then three huge monsters stood side by side.

They are a purple snake, a toad with a huge sharp blade on its waist and holding a pipe, and a blue and white slug.

A drizzle of rain fell from the sky, moistening the bodies of these huge creatures.

The three ninjas each stood on top of the three ninja beasts, confronting the counter-attack Hanzo of the Salamander.

In the original work, the reason why the three ninjas gained such a resounding reputation is inseparable from these three extremely excellent summoning beasts.

Manda, Slug and Gamabunta are also among the most powerful ninja beasts of the contemporary era (except Slug) in Ryuchi Cave, Shikotani Forest and Myoboku Mountain.

The three spirit beasts each have their own strengths, but all of them possess terrifying combat power.

For the three young ninjas at this moment, these three summoning beasts are their greatest reliance.

"Orochimaru, since you summoned me, I assume you have prepared the "sacrifice"."

While the two sides were confronting each other, the purple-skinned snake asked Orochimaru above its head in a dull voice, its huge snake eyes full of evil.

Orochimaru was naturally very clear about the "sacrifice" demanded by the Ten Thousand Snakes. Whenever he commanded the Ten Thousand Snakes, they would inevitably demand it for the same reason.

The so-called "sacrifice" is precisely one hundred living people used to feed the ten thousand snakes.

"Ah."

Faced with a powerful enemy, Orochimaru had no time to argue with Manda, so he just agreed directly and acted like a cold-faced man.

Anyway, this is a battlefield. There is a lack of everything except cannon fodder. After the war, all we have to do is hand over the 100 Rain Ninja prisoners to Mandra. This does not put any psychological pressure on Orochimaru at all.

"Jiraiya, what's going on?"

"After Ken returned to Myōboku-san, fortunately his father (Fakasaku Sennin) rescued him in time, otherwise he probably wouldn't have survived."

At this moment, Gamabunta was not idle either, but asked Jiraiya.

Gamaken, who was just summoned by Jiraiya and blocked the fatal blow for Jiraiya, is Gamabunta's brother.

"It's all my fault. I let Ken suffer from Hanzo's Rain Tiger Shuriken Technique."

Jiraiya did not make any excuses, but spoke to Gamabunta with some guilt.

"I don't blame you Jiraiya."

"As a soldier, Jian did what he should do."

"The 'salamander' you're talking about is the guy across the street, right?"

"Since this guy hurt Ajian, as the eldest brother, of course I have to avenge Ajian!"

Gamabunta first shook his head, then tightened his grip on the short knife at his waist, his toad face full of loyalty.

Hearing this, Jiraiya didn't know how to explain and could only smile bitterly.

On Tsunade's side, the atmosphere was much weirder.

Unlike Gamabunta and Manja, there is only one summoned beast in the Wet Bone Forest, and the "slug" summoned by Tsunade is just a part of the body of the Slug Sage in the Wet Bone Forest.

Therefore, this "slug" at this moment is no different from the slug fairy in the Wet Bone Forest.

"Oh ho ho!!!"

"Tsunade-chan, I haven't seen you for a while. Did you miss me?"

The Slug Sage's voice was still extremely lively, and Tsunade's originally tense face suddenly fell when she heard it.

"Oh, right!!!"

"Where's your boyfriend? You just got married, are you going to leave my little Tsunade alone?"

"Cry cry"

The Slug Sage's voice was like a string of cannonballs, firing towards Tsunade without stopping.

"Mr. Slug!!!"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's fair face instantly turned red with shame, and she protested angrily to the Slug Sage.

“Just married”! They’re obviously not married yet!!!”

Thinking of the Slug Sage's words, Tsunade immediately complained in her heart, but when she heard the Slug Sage say this, for some reason her heart felt inexplicably sweet.

"Oh, by the way, what is marriage?"

"I'm a spirit beast, I don't understand your human affairs."

"Hey~ Tsunade-chan's face is so red!"

The slug sage's slightly playful and mocking voice once again rang in Tsunade's heart, but this time Tsunade was too tired to complain and could only helplessly let it go.

After all, let alone her, even her grandfather, the first Hokage Hashirama, would probably not be able to do anything to this slug sage.

But after some teasing from the Slug Sage, the nervous atmosphere in Tsunade's heart had disappeared for some reason, which was also thanks to the Slug Sage's unique "animal charm".

What Tsunade didn't notice was that the Slug Sage's tentacles shifted slightly towards a certain direction in the sky, as if it was just an unintentional act.

On the other side, Mizunotsuki Ryosuke, who was floating in the air using the Earth Escape and Light and Heavy Rock Technique, was suddenly startled.

Obviously, he had been noticed by the Slug Immortal.

But he soon let down his guard again and just nodded at the Slug Immortal with a kind smile.

So what if he was discovered? Slug Sage was not his enemy. The worst that could happen was that Tsunade would find out.

But given the current relationship between Mizunoe Ryosuke and Tsunade, Tsunade would probably only feel touched and would not doubt him at all, so it naturally doesn't matter to Ryosuke.

In response to Ryosuke's kindness, the Slug Sage's tentacles imitated Ryosuke Mizunoe's appearance and slightly "nodded" twice.

Seeing this, Mizunoe Ryosuke smiled casually.

Sure enough, this is the Slug Immortal

Chapter 496: One Snake is Stronger than Ten Thousand Snakes

Because he is in mid-air, Mizunoe Ryosuke undoubtedly has the best "VIP perspective" at this moment. From a high place, Mizunoe Ryosuke can see the entire battlefield at a glance.

Looking around at this moment, after the four of them summoned their summoned beasts, it seemed at first glance that the three ninjas undoubtedly had a huge advantage.

The reason is very simple, just one word: big!

Yes, this big refers to the body size.

Whether it is a toad, a snake or a slug, they are all slightly larger than the salamander on the opposite side.

In addition, the situation between the two sides is three to one at the moment, so no matter how you look at it, it seems that the three ninjas have a huge advantage.

But in fact, this is not the case. Combat effectiveness cannot be judged solely by body size, and the advantages of the three ninjas are only "at face value".

Even if the three ninjas summoned their summoning beasts, Mizunoe Ryosuke did not believe that the toads of Myoboku Mountain and the snakes of Ryuchi Cave could stand up to Hanzo of the Salamander.

I'm afraid the only one who can help is the unfathomable slug immortal.

However, it is hard to say how much strength the Slug Immortal can and is willing to show.

After all, with Tsunade's current ability, she could only summon a body that was less than one-tenth the size of the Slug Sage.

Thinking of this, Mizunoe Ryosuke shook his head lightly, and then continued to focus on this battle that was destined to remain in the history of the ninja world.

After the three ninjas had a brief communication with their summoning beasts, they looked at each other tacitly and stopped waiting.

At that moment, the expressions of the three people became serious at the same time.

As teammates, the three of them naturally have their own unique way of fighting.

In an instant, Orochimaru's summoned beast, Manda, was the first to move.

"Wanshe" is not the name of this spiritual beast, but its "title".

The general meaning can be understood as "one snake is stronger than ten thousand snakes", or it can also be interpreted as "this is a snake that defeated ten thousand snakes."

Therefore, it is not difficult to guess that if one wants to obtain the title of "Ten Thousand Snakes", one must naturally defeat all the snake compatriots in Longdi Cave.

It is precisely because of this that the purple-skinned snake known as "Wanshe" can actually be regarded as the strongest in the contemporary Longdi Cave.
