Chapter 476

As Hanzo of the Salamander’s voice fell, his body suddenly became somewhat blurred in the rain curtain like a faded oil painting.

Afterward, a bright silver blade light soared into the sky.

It was Hanzo of the Salamander’s secret technique—Iai!!

"Not good!"

Seeing this, the hearts of the three sank at the same time.

Fortunately, before this, the three had already formulated a strategy for how to deal with Hanzo of the Salamander.

So at this moment, Tsunade and Orochimaru retreated rapidly, leaving Jiraiya alone to block Hanzo of the Salamander’s extremely sharp blade light.

Ninja Art—Needle Jizo Technique!!!

Jiraiya quickly formed seals, his long white hair instantly covered his body, turning into a layer of extremely hard barbs, and at the same time, Jiraiya curled his body into a hedgehog.

"Clang!!!"

"Zzz!!!"

Almost in this instant, Hanzo of the Salamander’s attack arrived, and the flying sickle and Jiraiya’s hair made a clashing sound of gold and iron.

Dazzling sparks flashed in the heavy rain curtain.

"Pfft!!!"

Almost instantly, both sides had already determined the winner; Jiraiya’s broken hair scattered in the rain, and a scarlet bloodstain appeared on Jiraiya’s back, which was hit by the Iai attack.

Jiraiya gritted his teeth, still showing no intention of retreating, manipulating his hair to wrestle with Hanzo of the Salamander.

Just at this moment, a slimy slug suddenly crawled out of Jiraiya’s body; a magical thing happened, the slug appeared on Jiraiya’s back, and wherever it touched, smoke instantly rose, and then Jiraiya’s originally ferocious wound instantly healed.

Summoning Technique—Slug Healing!

It turned out that before the battle, Tsunade had summoned a clone of the Slug and placed it on Jiraiya and Orochimaru respectively. And Tsunade’s Slug had a very powerful healing effect.

This wasn't all; taking advantage of Jiraiya’s entanglement with Hanzo of the Salamander, Orochimaru, who had retreated to the side, had already completed his ninjutsu.

Earth Style—Swamp of the Underworld Technique!

As Orochimaru slapped the ground with both hands, the land under Hanzo of the Salamander’s feet suddenly turned into a muddy swamp.

Caught off guard, half of his body sank in, and in an instant, Hanzo of the Salamander’s lower body was restricted and unable to move.

Not only that, Jiraiya also seized this opportunity; he stretched out his curled body, and the hair on his body grew wildly in the wind again, and for a time, it actually had several times its original length.

Ninja Art—Wild Lion’s Mane Technique!

Through the blessing of the ninja art, the flexibility of Jiraiya’s hair at this moment was comparable to steel wire; these omnipresent white hairs followed Hanzo of the Salamander’s flying sickle and wrapped directly around his limbs, and for a time, even Hanzo of the Salamander’s upper body was completely restricted.

With his limbs restricted, Hanzo of the Salamander had nowhere to escape.

In fact, whether it was Jiraiya or Orochimaru, both of their ninjutsu were just preparing for the Sannin’s final killing move.

"Die!!!"

A delicate shout suddenly came from the sky.

Hanzo of the Salamander, who was trapped in place and unable to move, looked up suddenly.

Between when he didn't know, a vigorous female ninja had already jumped high into the air and was falling rapidly at this moment.

Her exquisite and lovely face was already full of cold killing intent, and her fist, which was like warm jade, carried terrifying giant force that made the air tremble.

Yang Release—Ultimate Strength Fist!

"Whoosh!!!!"

From top to bottom, a punch enough to overturn mountains and seas was swung by Tsunade in anger.

Facing this near-death situation, Hanzo of the Salamander, who was trapped in place by Jiraiya and Orochimaru, only had numbness in his eyes.

"Not right!"

Tsunade’s heart trembled, seemingly realizing something wrong.

It was just that the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired, so Tsunade couldn't care about so much.

"Boom!!!!"

A punch smashed down, the earth cracked, rocks splashed, and the sky full of mud was raised by this terrifying giant force.

And Hanzo of the Salamander, who should have been beaten into a sandbag by this punch, burst into liquid all over the sky.

The pupils of Tsunade and Jiraiya contracted slightly at the same time.

"When?!!"

"Fell into a trap!!"

Both of them were shocked at the same time, because the "Hanzo of the Salamander" they had worked so hard to break was actually just his water clone.

At the same time, another Hanzo of the Salamander suddenly appeared in the rain curtain ten meters away from Tsunade and Jiraiya.

His figure was just like when he disappeared just now, like an oil painting that had been washed by water, hazy and unclear.

He held the flying sickle with both hands, and a large amount of chakra was poured into the flying sickle in his hand; for a time, blue mist actually rose on the flying sickle.

This was clearly the state after being filled with chakra.

Secret Technique—Iai—Iron Cutting!!!

Afterward, Hanzo of the Salamander swung with all his might and launched a full-power Iai attack at the defenseless Tsunade and Jiraiya.

"Boom!!!!"

"Clang!!"

Just at this moment, accompanied by Hanzo of the Salamander’s blade light, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, and a dazzling white light flashed by.

For a time, it was unknown whether it was Hanzo of the Salamander’s blade light or the lightning’s electric light.

"Be careful!"

Jiraiya was shocked, and immediately intended to push Tsunade aside and block this attack alone.

But even so, it was clearly already too late!

Tsunade and Jiraiya, who had previously clashed with Hanzo of the Salamander, were well aware of how terrifying a full-power Iaijutsu strike from him could be.

In their current flustered state, the two had no way to counter it.

Without hesitation, Jiraiya channeled his Needle Jizo technique, intending to block in front of Tsunade.

But just as the blade light was about to descend upon them, a pitch-black, demonic gate of unknown material suddenly appeared before the two.

Carved onto this gate was a green-faced, fanged demon, and the dark wall of the gate faintly exuded a cold, deathly aura.

Summoning: Rashomon!!

As it turned out, it was Orochimaru, from the other side, who had completed the ninjutsu to provide cover for them at the critical moment.

Seeing this pitch-black gate of hell standing before them, Jiraiya and Tsunade immediately felt relieved.

"BOOM!!!!"

The dazzling Iaijutsu: Iron-Cutting (827) struck the Summoning: Rashomon directly, producing a violent clashing sound.

Suddenly, Jiraiya’s eyes sharpened, and he made a split-second decision to perform rapid hand seals.

Earth Style: Earth Wall!!!

Instantly, a solid wall of earth appeared behind the gate of hell.
