As Hanzo of the Salamander's most famous ability, this highly poisonous hand had always been his signature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And whenever this salamander appeared on the battlefield, it meant that Hanzo of the Salamander was no longer holding back and intended to end his opponents completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Juniors, being able to die beneath Ibuse's toxins can be considered your honor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanzo of the Salamander stood on top of Ibuse the Salamander, proudly saying to the Sannin below. From Hanzo's demeanor, one could see his confidence in the salamander's highly poisonous nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this confidence was built on the corpses of countless powerhouses who had died beneath this highly poisonous nature in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sannin looked at each other, and all saw the gravity in each other's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Hanzo of the Salamander had already revealed his trump card, the Sannin also stopped hiding and intended to use their final trump cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sannin performed the Summoning Jutsu with almost synchronized speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Poof!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three puffs of smoke rose, and then three massive giants stood side by side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were a purple-skinned snake, a toad holding a pipe and a giant sharp blade at its waist, and a blue-and-white slug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drizzling rain fell from the sky, wetting the bodies of these massive creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sannin stood on the heads of their respective ninja beasts, confronting Hanzo of the Salamander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original work, the reason why the Sannin were able to achieve such a loud reputation was inseparable from these three extremely excellent summoning beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manda, Katsuyu, and Gamabunta were also among the most powerful ninja beasts of their time (except for Katsuyu) in Ryuchi Cave, Shikkotsu Forest, and Mount Myoboku.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three summoning beasts each had their own merits, but all were existences with terrifying combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the Sannin in their youth, these three summoning beasts were their greatest reliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Orochimaru, since you summoned me, then I think you have already prepared the 'sacrifice'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of the confrontation between the two sides, the purple-skinned giant snake asked Orochimaru on its head in a dull voice, its huge snake pupils full of evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the \"sacrifice\" demanded by Manda, Orochimaru was naturally very clear. Historically, whenever he drove Manda, he would inevitably be demanded by Manda for the same reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the so-called \"sacrifice\" was exactly one hundred living people used to satisfy Manda's appetite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a great enemy in front, Orochimaru had no time to argue with Manda, so he naturally agreed first, acting as a cold-faced man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, this was a battlefield, and there was no shortage of cannon fodder. After the battle, he could just hand over one hundred Rain ninja captives to Manda. This matter had absolutely no psychological pressure for Orochimaru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiraiya, what exactly is going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After Ken returned to Mount Myoboku, fortunately, Father (Fukasaku Sage) rescued him in time, otherwise he probably wouldn't have survived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking this opportunity, Gamabunta was not idle, but asked Jiraiya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gamaken, who had just been summoned by Jiraiya to block the fatal blow for him, was Gamabunta's brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's all my fault for letting Ken withstand Hanzo of the Salamander's Rain Tiger Shuriken Jutsu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya did not defend himself, but said to Gamabunta with some guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not blaming you, Jiraiya.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As a warrior, Ken did what he should have done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The 'salamander' you mentioned is that guy opposite, right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since this guy hurt Ken, I, as the big brother, naturally have to avenge Ken!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gamabunta first shook his head, then gripped the short sword at his waist, his toad face full of loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Jiraiya could not explain, only smiling bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And on Tsunade's side, the atmosphere was much stranger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Gamabunta and Manda, there was only one summoning beast in Shikkotsu Forest, and the \"slug\" summoned by Tsunade was only a part of the body of the Slug Sage in Shikkotsu Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, at this moment, this \"slug\" was no different from the original Slug Sage of Shikkotsu Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh ho ho!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Tsunade, haven't seen you for a while, have you missed me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slug Sage's voice was still incredibly lively. Hearing this, Tsunade's originally tense pretty face suddenly collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is your little boyfriend?

They haven't even gotten married yet, okay!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the Slug Sage's wording, Tsunade complained in her heart, but hearing the Slug Sage say this, for some reason, her heart felt inexplicably sweet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right, what is getting married?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am a summoning beast, I don't understand your human affairs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh~ Little Tsunade's face is so red!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slug Sage's slightly teasing and mocking voice sounded in Tsunade's heart again, but this time Tsunade had no strength to complain, only able to helplessly let it be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, let alone her, even her grandfather, the First Hokage Hashirama, probably couldn't do anything about this Slug Sage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after the Slug Sage's teasing, the tense atmosphere in Tsunade's heart had disappeared for some reason, which could be considered a blessing of the Slug Sage's unique \"beast personality charm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1400,"2026-06-17T05:01:42.922Z","2026-06-17T05:05:39.462Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","c1e1f1874d666143ed870041d0406bc8aed55ea058cb5e7136a7eae43a2c9f36","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-482","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-480",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
