Chapter 450
The sound of metal clashing came again, and Jiraiya was directly knocked flying by this Iai Iron-Cutting Slash, and a large amount of hair that had been split in two was cut off from the sky and scattered down.
"Lord Jiraiya!"
At this moment, three Konoha Jonin exclaimed and hurriedly took action to support Jiraiya.
Three Fire Release techniques from different directions attacked Hanzo of the Salamander again, which happened to disrupt the rhythm of Hanzo of the Salamander's attack.
"Hmph!"
Hanzo of the Salamander snorted coldly and had no choice but to take action against the whistling Fire Release first. Immediately, he directly released a Water Release: Water Formation Wall to block all three people's Fire Release.
But taking advantage of this time, Jiraiya had already landed and caught his breath.
"Lord Jiraiya, we have come to help you too!!!"
A burst of shouting came from afar, and several Konoha ninjas followed one after another.
These ninjas had distinct characteristics.
Leading them was a blue-haired ninja, followed by one with a ninja dog, one wearing sunglasses and wrapped tightly from head to toe, and one holding a huge paintbrush in his hand.
Although these ninjas each had distinct characteristics, they all had one common characteristic—that is, their aura was very powerful.
This shows that these Konoha ninjas were the elite among the elite.
Kato, Inuzuka, Aburame, Sai.
Those who arrived at this time were all elites from various ninja clans in the Konoha camp this time.
Among them, some were even the heads of the ninja clans themselves. They not only mastered the unique secret techniques of their own ninja clans, but most importantly, they were all powerhouses who had reached the elite Jonin level!
Not only that, more and more Konoha Jonin were gathering toward this place, attempting to surround Hanzo of the Salamander here.
Just at this moment, a total of more than ten Konoha Jonin had already arrived here, one after another watching Hanzo of the Salamander, who was surrounded by them in the center, with vigilant eyes.
Regarding this, Hanzo of the Salamander's eyes did not change in the slightest. He slowly moved his gaze away from this group of Konoha ninjas who were blocking the way and slowly looked toward the other side.
Over there, because Hanzo of the Salamander had pinned down a large number of Konoha's combat power, the other Rain ninjas had already obtained a chance to catch their breath and were taking the opportunity to retreat quickly one after another.
Seeing this, a trace of calmness flashed in Hanzo of the Salamander's eyes.
For the current plan, letting the Rain ninjas under his command retreat in time to stop the losses is the key.
Since his pinning down had achieved the effect, he simply wasn't in a hurry to leave and would just stay here to create space for the other Rain ninjas to escape.
As for this group of Konoha ninjas in front of him...
Hanzo of the Salamander narrowed his eyes slightly, and a terrifying murderous intent bloomed directly from his eyes.
A mere group of Jonin, how could they stop him?
"Fine, since that's the case, let's play with them properly."
Hanzo of the Salamander made up his mind, and the aura all over his body changed again.
Regarding the change in Hanzo of the Salamander, Jiraiya also keenly sensed some of it. A trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but what followed quickly was a touch of firmness.
No matter what, he must take down Hanzo of the Salamander today!
"What on earth is going on!!!"
At the Konoha command post, Tsunade gritted her teeth, her dignified and beautiful brows were tightly knitted together, and a trace of annoyance also flowed in her emerald eyes.
"What on earth is Jiraiya doing!"
"Wasn't he told before that the purpose of this battle is to damage the vital strength of the Rain ninjas."
"When encountering Hanzo of the Salamander, just try to avoid him and let him go; why did he surround and attack Hanzo of the Salamander?"
Tsunade scolded angrily, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of disappointment toward Jiraiya in her heart.
From the beginning of the war until now, Hanzo of the Salamander has always been reclusive and has rarely taken action on the battlefield.
And based solely on these one or two limited actions of Hanzo of the Salamander, it is impossible to see the terrifying strength of Hanzo of the Salamander, which is like an iceberg.
Therefore, although Orochimaru and Jiraiya both knew the prestige of the "Demigod of the Ninja World," they still didn't quite understand the terrifying aspects of Hanzo of the Salamander.
Only Tsunade, who had had the experience of fighting Hanzo before, knew clearly.
At the current stage, no matter which one of the three of them it is, they are not Hanzo of the Salamander's opponent.
I am afraid that only if the three of them go together will they have a chance to defeat Hanzo of the Salamander.
Therefore, when formulating tactics, Tsunade repeatedly emphasized that the focus of tonight's attack must not be placed on Hanzo of the Salamander.
It is necessary to consume the vital strength of the Rain ninjas as much as possible, and if one happens to encounter Hanzo of the Salamander, just let him pass directly.
But Tsunade never expected that Jiraiya would now know that there is a tiger in the mountain, yet still insist on going to the tiger mountain.
"Always like this! Always dropping the ball at critical moments!"
Thinking of this, Tsunade also felt a trace of anger at this friend for not living up to expectations.
"Contact Jiraiya for me and tell him to immediately stop the act of attacking Hanzo of the Salamander!"
Tsunade said with a cold face, ordering a liaison ninja a few meters away.
Hearing this, a trace of difficulty flashed on the liaison ninja's face. If the battle hadn't started yet, he could still contact Jiraiya through some means.
But over there, it is clearly in full swing at this moment, and he has already lost the ability to contact Jiraiya.
Seeing this, Tsunade's pretty face turned cold again, and just as she was about to curse out loud, a gentle voice suddenly rang in her ear.
"Hmm, let me see who dares to make my little Tsunade angry?"
Hearing the voice, Tsunade's expression changed drastically, her delicate body trembled suddenly, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
Because she couldn't be more familiar with this voice.
She looked around suddenly, only to see that the surrounding scenery was as usual, and there was no sign of that person at all.
But she quickly reacted; that person possesses "that technique," so it is not strange for him to appear in Konoha's command post while taking advantage of the chaos.
But even so, that man is too bold, isn't he!
"Why, does little Tsunade not want to see her husband?"
This time, the voice was closer to Tsunade, already faintly pressed against her ear, and even the hot air between breaths seemed clearly audible.
Tsunade's small ears, which were like white jade, instantly turned red with a swish.
In an instant, the surrounding scenery changed suddenly, and a tall figure appeared beside Tsunade.
I saw dozens of transparent ring-shaped ice walls directly dividing the surroundings into two worlds.
Demonic Mirror Ice Crystal Technique!
Inside the ice wall, Tsunade had already stood up in a panic, looking at Mizunuki Ryosuke beside her with disbelieving eyes.
Mizunuki Ryosuke was actually standing beside Tsunade so generously, scanning everything around him with interested eyes.
For the "suddenly appeared" Mizunuki Ryosuke, all the Konoha ninjas seemed to have not noticed it at all, as if there was only air where he existed.
Outside the ice wall, the liaison ninja who had just been scolded, along with a group of staff officers and sensory ninjas, all looked toward the suddenly silent "Tsunade" with fearful eyes.
Although they were strange in their hearts as to why Tsunade, who had been furious just a moment ago, suddenly had no sound.
But since Tsunade no longer spoke, they naturally would not take the initiative to touch Tsunade's bad luck.
This group of ninjas did not know that the Tsunade they saw in their eyes was just an illusion simulated by the "Demonic Mirror Ice Crystal."
