In this situation, the shortcomings of taijutsu were obvious, and naturally, Tsunade could not use her specialty, taijutsu, to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to use a defensive ninjutsu she was relatively skilled in: Water Style: Water Wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Triple Rashomon, layers of water curtains erupted. Under the rainstorm, the scale of the Water Wall expanded significantly, which was the only good news for the current situation. Although it was barely worth mentioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Tsunade and the other, Jiraiya on the other side was much more unfortunate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Orochimaru and Tsunade could at least work together to defend, while Jiraiya, on the other side, had to find a way to cope on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, unable to care about anything else, Jiraiya had to go all out to save his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also bit his finger and, after performing rapid hand seals, pressed his hand to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summoning Jutsu: Gamaken!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Poof!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a puff of smoke, a giant toad with purple-red skin, holding a fork in one hand and a shield in the other, appeared with a boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ken, I'm counting on you!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya shouted at Gamaken, then simply shrank behind Gamaken. Gamaken's broad body gave Jiraiya a great sense of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gamaken: \"?????!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Gamaken had always been honest and steady by nature, so he didn't mind Jiraiya throwing his teammate under the bus. Instead, he very honestly held his giant shield in front of him, attempting to withstand this blow for Jiraiya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the tsunami-like Rain Tiger shuriken poured down, landing on Gamaken's giant shield and the eerie Gate of Hell, respectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deafening roar overwhelmed everything, emitting a terrifying whistle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In mid-air, a man dressed in a pure white robe floated there, chin in hand, watching the unstoppable Rain Tiger Shuriken Jutsu before him, his eyes filled with a hint of admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, this man who was fully immersed in watching the show was none other than Mizunuki Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a battle that would go down in the history of the ninja world. With Mizunuki Ryosuke's personality, how could he possibly not come to join in the fun?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, at this time, Tsunade had already fallen into battle with Hanzo of the Salamander. To avoid any accidents befalling his beloved little Tsunade, with Ryosuke's steady personality, how could he not come to oversee things personally?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had already highly overestimated the combat power of Hanzo of the Salamander, this sudden move by Hanzo still made him feel a burst of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the old saying goes, there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on this move alone, Hanzo of the Salamander's title of \"Demigod\" was well-deserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Rain Tiger Shuriken Jutsu\" was not much inferior to the Scarlet Firmament he unleashed by borrowing the power of celestial phenomena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This move also showed that Mizunuki Ryosuke's assessment of Hanzo of the Salamander as \"Beyond Kage-level\" was not wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Hanzo of the Salamander's move had a hint of taking advantage of the weather, Hanzo was neither a Jinchuriki nor did he possess any high-level Bloodline Limit. To be able to achieve this step with a normal human body was already a legendary existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This further strengthened Mizunuki Ryosuke's determination to recruit Hanzo of the Salamander for his own use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basically, in the current ninja world, there were probably very few who could defeat Hanzo of the Salamander beneath the curtain of rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fortunately, although the Sannin had not yet truly reached Kage-level, their respective foundations and secret arts were not bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, this move of Hanzo's was not without its flaws. Mizunuki Ryosuke predicted that the Sannin might not necessarily be defeated by this move.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Beneath the overwhelming Rain Tiger shuriken, the psychological pressure on the Sannin at this moment could be imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the tsunami-like Rain Tiger shuriken struck, the Sannin gritted their teeth simultaneously, struggling to maintain their ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade's heart was beating violently; no one could remain calm under such an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first to come into contact with the Rain Tiger shuriken was naturally the Rashomon summoned by Orochimaru, which was at the outermost layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just one second, the first gate of the Triple Rashomon was broken. The tsunami-like shuriken did not stop at all after destroying the first Rashomon, continuing to strike toward the second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a large number of stray Rain Tiger shuriken also scattered and fell onto the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was Jiraiya's shuriken or Orochimaru's snake swarm, they all seemed somewhat insignificant beneath this curtain of rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snake swarm summoned by Orochimaru had already been cut into pieces all over the ground by the dense Rain Tiger shuriken, but soon, this dark green blood covering the ground was washed clean by the massive amount of rainwater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Orochimaru had no time to worry about his snake swarm at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if things went wrong, his own fate would be no better than that of the snakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crack!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three seconds later, the second Rashomon also announced its rupture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must block it!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing two Rashomon gates broken so easily, Tsunade and Orochimaru both felt their hearts jump, praying continuously in the depths of their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, a massive amount of Rain Tiger shuriken shot toward the third Rashomon. After breaking through two consecutive gates, the momentum of the Rain Tiger shuriken had also diminished significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the only defense left standing in front of Tsunade and Orochimaru was the last Rashomon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the Rashomon held out for a full ten seconds before cracks appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the Rashomon was about to break, Orochimaru and Tsunade's expressions tightened simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although three Rashomon gates had been destroyed in succession, the Rain Tiger shuriken still had residual power, far from what could be blocked by the final Water Wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the critical moment, Orochimaru gritted his teeth and, disregarding his own consumption, forced himself to perform a summoning jutsu again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summoning Jutsu: Snake Servant Jutsu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a giant snake, at least twenty meters long and requiring three people to wrap their arms around it, was summoned by Orochimaru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Orochimaru used a secret art to forcibly control the giant snake, making it coil its body to protect the two in the center, forming a circular hollow space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the third Rashomon was completely broken, and endless Rain Tiger shuriken plunged into the Water Wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The highest good is like water; water benefits all things and does not contend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water attribute itself had the miraculous effect of overcoming hardness with softness. Coupled with the fact that the Water Wall and the Rain Tiger shuriken were of the same origin, it actually had a miraculous effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large number of the aggressive Rain Tiger shuriken, after plunging into the Water Wall, had their force dissipated and turned into ordinary rainwater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the end, it couldn't withstand the sheer number of Rain Tiger shuriken, and eventually, the Water Wall couldn't hold on and collapsed into a sky full of water splashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Water Wall still played a significant role, reducing the number of Rain Tiger shuriken by a considerable amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after breaking through the multiple defenses set up by Tsunade and Orochimaru, the Rain Tiger shuriken reached their final defense—a giant snake summoned as a scapegoat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be said that Orochimaru and Sasuke were indeed master and apprentice; the methods they used to save their lives in critical moments were exactly the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, given the selfish nature of the Ryuchi Cave snake summons, it would certainly not die for Orochimaru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Orochimaru used a secret art to forcibly control this giant snake to act as a meat shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Squish, squish!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss!!!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp Rain Tiger shuriken suffered no obstruction at all, plunging entirely into the giant snake's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the giant snake let out a painful roar, and a massive amount of snake blood sprayed from its huge body, staining the surrounding ground the color of snake blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the space protected by the snake's body, Orochimaru's face suddenly turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intense pain almost made the giant snake break free from Orochimaru's control jutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the snake's body was large and tough enough, it couldn't withstand the sheer number of Rain Tiger shuriken. By now, quite a few had broken through the snake's body and shot into the space surrounded by it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the number was not very large, and Tsunade could deflect them one by one with the kunai in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as the Rain Tiger shuriken continued to bombard, more and more shuriken pierced through the snake's body and reached Tsunade and Orochimaru. Coupled with the fact that Orochimaru had to continue performing the snake control jutsu and could not resist, Tsunade could only barely maintain the defense on her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Squish!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Tsunade, unable to block in time, had her arm slashed by a shuriken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the wound on her arm was just the beginning; limbs, waist and abdomen, back...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More and more cuts appeared on Tsunade's body, and bright red blood slowly flowed down her fair skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, under Tsunade's protection, Orochimaru remained unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Tsunade was about to be unable to hold on, the offensive of the Rain Tiger shuriken finally came to an abrupt end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hoo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade let out a heavy breath, her body still trembling slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up and saw that the giant snake's body above her head was already riddled with holes, with bloody, glowing wounds visible everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the powerful vitality of snake creatures, it probably would have died long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, this giant snake was destined not to last long; it was clearly not going to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>",1650,"2026-06-17T05:01:42.922Z","2026-06-17T05:05:39.462Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","cd5e734b51060b7412492a206fa402c638190fc553624088fe598a49497d6dd2","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-479","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-477",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
