Chapter 23 Ten Thousand Snakes and Toad Bunta
Turning their attention to the Kingdom of Tea, after Orochimaru and Jiraiya led the troops to their destination, they immediately sent a message to Hatake Sakumo's team.
In order to launch separate raids on Sunagakure and Kirigakure at the same time, the two sides agreed to launch an attack together on the day after Jiraiya sent the information.
So after sending out the information, Jiraiya and Orochimaru were ready to rest. After all, if Totoki launched an attack, he would have to leave at about the same time.
In the middle of the night.
Everyone has gathered and is waiting for Orochimaru and Jiraiya's orders to set off to raid Kirigakure.
"Set off."
With just two words, Orochimaru spoke concisely and lurked in the direction of Kirigakure's residence in the Country of Tea.
Kirigakure only has 2,500 troops stationed in the Country of Tea. After all, the Country of Water is an island country, surrounded by the sea, and has a small population.
"Orochimaru, how are you going to make a surprise attack? Are the two of us going in to assassinate you?"
After touching the vicinity of the Kirigakure ninja's station, Jiraiya couldn't help but ask.
"Jiraiya, are you an idiot?" Seeing Jiraiya coming up with such a brainless tactic, Orochimaru wanted to pry open his brain to see what was inside.
"What did you say, Orochimaru?" Jiraiya felt that his fist was hardened as his friend Orochimaru always used his IQ to criticize him.
As expected, he and Orochimaru were naturally at odds with each other. As long as they were together, whether it was doing tasks or studying together at the old man's place, they would definitely be at odds with each other in the end!
"Damn it, it would have been nice if I was on a mission with Tsunade, or even with Sakumo-sama, but you are the poisonous snake." Jiraiya said angrily.
"Oh, you are not qualified to say such things, Jiraiya. I think if I come alone, the success rate of completing the mission should be higher." Looking sideways at Jiraiya, Orochimaru's mouth was full. dislike.
Seeing that the two commanders were trying to deal with their own people first before dealing with the enemy, the jounin accompanying the team quickly persuaded the two men to move away.
"Hmph, then tell me, you stinky snake, is there any way to make it easier for us to complete the task?" Although he and Orochimaru are both Kage level, they are not as fast as White Fang. It can deal with the enemies on one guard tower in a flash, and then distract the enemies on another guard tower, allowing teammates to successfully attack.
"If I don't call you an idiot, you can only be the 'secondary commander'. Don't you have psychic beasts?" Orochimaru sarcastically said to Jiraiya again.
"Forehead."
Jiraiya was stunned for a moment. Indeed, he seemed to have forgotten this incident.
However, Orochimaru is the commander of this team, and he is only the deputy commander. He complained in front of the old man at that time, but he refuted it.
A "Are you smarter than Orochimaru"? He blocked Jiraiya back.
After all, there is one thing to say, no matter how much I don't admit it in my heart, it seems that I am not as cunning and scheming as Orochimaru, or else he is a poisonous snake.
"I will use necromancy to summon two venomous snakes, and poison the two ninjas on the sentry tower with one blow. Then all the ninjas who know the earth escape ninjutsu will use earth escape to lurk in and kill a group first, and finally launch Total.”
Orochimaru arranged the mission operations concisely and clearly.
"As expected of Lord Orochimaru, his strategy is impeccable." A jounin, one of Orochimaru's subordinates, immediately came over and complimented.
It's not a compliment, this is indeed a good strategy. It can effectively reduce the probability of being discovered by the enemy, and it can also take the opportunity to steal a wave of chickens.
Then Orochimaru moved a little away from here, and then used his psychic technique to summon two dragon pit snakes that were only as long as an adult's arms but could kill with one blow.
"hiss"
Soon, the two poisonous snakes summoned by Orochimaru crawled towards the top of the tower sentry.
"Uh-huh"
With just enough time to utter these two words, the two Kirigakure ninjas on guard foamed at the mouth and died instantly.
"Succeeded, earth escape ninja, come with me to attack." Orochimaru once again licked the kunai in his hand with his long tongue, and said with coldness in his pair of vertical snake eyes.
I have to say that Jiraiya still feels at ease when performing missions with Orochimaru, even though it can be very frustrating sometimes.
Then, a group of about 600 ninjas came out and simultaneously used earth escape to dive into the ground beneath their feet.
The ninjas of Kirigakure Village were not aware at all that the ground beneath them was full of murderous intent at the moment!
"Puff puff"
Blood was flying in the tent, and after each of Konoha's earth-bending ninjas killed about two to three Kirigakure ninjas, they were finally discovered.
However, nearly 1,500 Kirigakure ninjas have already paid their lives.
It was discovered that enough people had died and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
"There is no other way. Next, we can only force it." After going to the battlefield, Jiraiya will no longer have unreasonable kindness in his heart, which will only harm others and himself.
"Ninjutsu - Kirigakure no Jutsu xn."
Unlike Sunagakure's puppet master, he has no ability to fight back even if he reacts to sneak attacks and close combat.
For Kirigakure ninjas who are proficient in assassination, faced with this unfavorable situation, they can react as quickly as possible and launch a counterattack.
The Kirigakure no Jutsu is undoubtedly the best choice among counterattack ninjutsu. It can not only hide oneself and cause visual interference to the enemy, but also make perfect strategies based on the current situation.
After exchanges with several Kirigakure leaders, they decided to fight back!
Yes, you read that right. For the Kirigakure troops, which only have about 1,000 people left at this moment, even if they are fighting against many, they are confident of defeating the powerful enemy sneaking in front of them!
Because the ninjas educated under Kirigakure's "Blood Mist" policy can only attack when facing the enemy, there is no retreat at all!
This is also the reason why the Third Hokage and others were so entangled when they chose to attack the ninja villages except Sunagakure.
The ninjas in Kirigakure Village are so fierce at the mid-to-low end that some ninjas even bite off a piece of flesh from their opponents before they die.
"Wind Escape - Pressure."
Facing this Kirigakure technique, Orochimaru, as the commander, had already anticipated it. Seeing the fog around him getting thicker, he immediately used the Wind Release Ninjutsu to blow away the fog.
In an instant, the fog that had just enveloped everyone was blown away by a strong wind.
But not long after, the mist drifted toward everyone in Konoha again.
"cut."
Orochimaru was very dissatisfied with this situation, but after all, this was the Kirigakure Technique performed by nearly a thousand people in Kirigakure. He could not break it alone, even if the Kirigakure Technique was restrained by Feng Dun.
With Orochimaru's current strength, including the ability of the Wind Release to restrain Kirigakure's art, he could at most use Wind Release to completely dispel this art performed by the Kirigakure coalition of over a hundred people.
"Orochimaru, this is not the way to go. Not only will our companions be harmed, but the advantage we have finally established may also be lost." Jiraiya also looked very anxious about this.
"Haha, in that case, I can only use my killing move." After using Wind Escape - Pressure again to disperse a wave of mist, Orochimaru smiled cruelly.
"Hey, Jiraiya, now is not the time to hesitate." Turning his head, Orochimaru stared at Jiraiya and said.
"I know, you don't need to say more, stinky viper." No matter how reluctant he was, Jiraiya knew that he shouldn't look forward and backward at this moment.
"All Konoha ninjas must withdraw from the battlefield and surround them. No Kirigakure ninja can be allowed to escape." After Jiraiya gave the order, he and Orochimaru looked at each other and nodded to each other.
They are ready to summon the biggest killer on the battlefield!
Forming a seal, biting the thumb of his left hand, drawing blood on the palm of his right hand, Orochimaru and Jiraiya's movements were completed in one go.
"Ninja Technique - Psychic Technique x 2."
"Bang", "Bang"
Following two soft sounds, a burst of white smoke emerged from the foggy forest, making the people whose sight was already blocked even more unclear about their direction, and could only run as far away from the center as possible.
As the white smoke dissipated, everyone on both sides could see that two behemoths suddenly appeared on the field.
A giant purple snake spitting out snakes and a red toad wearing clothes, holding a knife and holding a pipe?
"Oh?", "Huh?"
Two words came from the mouths of a snake and a toad respectively.
"Wan She and Orochimaru? Hey, Jiraiya, you summoned me not because you broke up with Orochimaru and now you want to fight to the death, right?" Gamabunta looked at Jiraiya who was above him with a look that saw everything through. teased.
"Bunta, now is not the time to reminisce about the past. The war has broken out. For the sake of Konoha and the people I want to protect, I hope you can help me." Jiraiya was not as angry as usual about what the toad boss said, but was serious. said.
"Okay, I understand, I will help you." Gamabunta also stopped joking. Jiraiya said so, and of course he would not refuse.
After all, Jiraiya was the most agreeable Contractor of Mt. Myoboku that he had ever seen since he was born and grew up.
"Orochimaru, did you summon me to kill Jiraiya and that stinky toad? If so, 1,000 sacrifices will not be enough." Wan She looked at Toad Bunta and Jiraiya next to him. , said to Orochimaru.
From the look of it, it seemed that once Orochimaru agreed to his request for 1,000 sacrifices, he would immediately launch an attack on Jiraiya and Gamabunta.
"Lord Ten Thousand Snakes, although I also want to kill that annoying Jiraiya directly, I have no thoughts of betraying Konoha at the moment. Besides, even if I want to, we can't do it with our abilities, right?" Compared to While Jiraiya and Gamabunta have a heart-to-heart relationship, Orochimaru and Wanshe are purely out of mutual use.
Because Orochimaru's strength has not reached the point of suppressing all snakes, every time he summons the opponent, it is more like making a deal.
The three psychic beasts like Wan Snake, Gamabunta, and the slug summoned by Tsunade are from the three holy places themselves. They have extremely high intelligence. Coupled with the other's huge size and special abilities, they are said to be shadows. A super psychic beast is not an exaggeration at all.
If you think about it this way, if necessary, 4 shadow-level powerhouses (psychic beasts) can be dispatched instantly on the Kirigakure battlefield like now.
And this huge shadow-level psychic beast can cause a huge blow to large-scale troops.
"Then why did you summon me out? Let me declare in advance that no matter what it is, you must prepare 100 sacrifices for me next time." Wan Snake mentioned his conditions unceremoniously.
"Lord Wan She, there is no need to wait for the next time. All the Kirigakure ninjas here are now your sacrifices. It is a time of war, so you can have fun as much as you like." Orochimaru adapted to local conditions and directly dealt with those he encountered. Treat your trouble as your own bargaining chip.
Looking around, Wan She also saw the Kirigakure ninja hidden in the thick fog around him.
"Hmph, it turned out that I was asked to work, but forget it. Considering the large number of sacrifices this time, I will forgive you. I hope there won't be a next time." Wan She glared and directly dragged the giant His body launched an attack on all the Kirigakure ninjas around him.
As for the next time, Wan She is still very happy. After all, being able to come to the ninja world to cause a scene and have sacrifices to eat is not a loss at all. As for the issue of working snakes, Wan She has automatically ignored it.
This is also a benefit obtained during the war. If it were a time of peace, Wan Snake's behavior of devouring creatures in the ninja world at will would have been suppressed by the strong men of each village long ago.
"Bunta, let's go too." Jiraiya saw that Orochimaru and Wanji had moved, and couldn't help but said to Gamabunta underneath him.
"Okay, let's do it." Withdrawing the long sword from his waist, Gamabunta jumped up and rushed towards the Kirigakure ninja.
