The Slug Sage was not his enemy; at most, it would just be known by Tsunade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But given the current relationship between Mizunuki Ryosuke and Tsunade, Tsunade would probably only feel moved in her heart and would not suspect him at all, so it naturally didn't matter to Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And toward Ryosuke's kindness, the Slug Sage's tentacles also mimicked Mizunuki Ryosuke's appearance, slightly \"nodding\" twice in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke laughed freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, this is the Slug Sage.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because he was in mid-air, Mizunuki Ryosuke undoubtedly had the best \"VIP perspective.\" From a high place, Mizunuki Ryosuke could see the entire battlefield at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around at this moment, after all four had summoned their summoning beasts, at first glance, the Sannin undoubtedly occupied an extremely huge advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was also very simple, just one word, and that is—big!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, this big naturally refers to the body size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the toad, the snake, or the slug, they were all slightly larger than the salamander on the opposite side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, the situation between the two sides was three against one, so no matter how you looked at it, it seemed that the Sannin side occupied a huge advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in fact, that was not the case. Combat power could not be judged solely by body size. The Sannin's advantage was only \"looking\" like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the Sannin had summoned their summoning beasts, Mizunuki Ryosuke did not think that the toads of Mount Myoboku and the snakes of Ryuchi Cave could get any advantage in the hands of Hanzo of the Salamander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably the only thing that would be useful was the unfathomable Slug Sage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how much strength the Slug Sage could bring out, and how much it was willing to bring out, was really hard to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, with Tsunade's current ability, she could only summon less than one-tenth of the Slug Sage's body size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Mizunuki Ryosuke shook his head lightly, then continued to focus his attention on this battle destined to remain in the history of the ninja world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Sannin communicated simply with their summoning beasts, they looked at each other tacitly and stopped waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the expressions of the three became serious simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As teammates, the three naturally had a unique way of fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Manda, Orochimaru's summoning beast, moved first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Manda,\" this was not the name of this summoning beast, but its \"title.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can be understood as \"this snake is stronger than ten thousand snakes,\" or it can also be explained as \"this is a snake that defeated ten thousand snakes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, it was not hard to guess that to get the title of \"Manda,\" one naturally had to defeat all the snake compatriots in Ryuchi Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And precisely because of this, the purple-skinned giant snake with the name \"Manda\" could actually be considered the strongest of its generation in Ryuchi Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original work also confirmed this. In the Sannin battle, Manda fought Katsuyu and Gamabunta on its own. Although it was defeated in the end, it was still able to fight back and forth, and even once forced Gamabunta into a desperate situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this time, in the Sannin's tactics, it was still Manda that launched the attack first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rumble!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Orochimaru's command, Manda urged its massive snake body to kill toward Hanzo of the Salamander and the Ibuse the Salamander beneath him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the curtain of rain, Manda's snake pupils looked at the salamander as if looking at a dessert after lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss, hiss, hiss!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Manda opened its bloody mouth and bit directly toward Ibuse the Salamander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this, Hanzo of the Salamander was unhurried, controlling Ibuse the Salamander beneath him to burrow into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manda's terrifying bite hit empty space. At the same time, due to excessive force, it crashed into the ground. The booming collision sound, accompanied by a large amount of splashing mud and gravel, all indicated that Manda's hit was not light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, Manda seemed like a snake that was fine, raising its head again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because it missed a hit, Manda was a bit angry and ashamed. Looking at the hole left by Ibuse the Salamander when it burrowed into the ground, Manda's snake pupils contracted, and then it burrowed into the ground along this hole to strangle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But don't forget, snakes can also dig holes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, a somewhat funny scene occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although both sides were experts at digging holes, the more compact Ibuse the Salamander was more agile underground, always able to escape to the ground when Manda was about to catch up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, when Manda chased again, it burrowed into the ground again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game of \"snake catching mouse\" began to be staged on this empty ground. If it weren't for the fact that the volume of both sides was too huge, it would have a bit of a sense of children's animation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Manda's summoner, Orochimaru was not on Manda at this moment, but on the head of Gamabunta.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Manda could not make a contribution, Orochimaru immediately turned around and signaled to Tsunade beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Tsunade nodded seriously, instantly understanding Orochimaru's idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Orochimaru did not hesitate, using the snake control jutsu to pass the order to Manda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving Orochimaru's order, Manda, who was still playing the \"snake catching mouse\" game, flashed a trace of unwillingness in its eyes, but still burrowed toward the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, Manda's massive body burrowed out of the ground, but at this moment Manda looked a bit disheveled, with several extremely conspicuous wounds all over its deep purple snake body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was exactly the work of Hanzo of the Salamander's Iai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, when facing the pursuit of this evil giant snake, Hanzo of the Salamander also made the snake suffer with his counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Manda burrowed out of the ground, it did not hesitate at all, directly giving up its position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just the moment Manda escaped, a large amount of green acid with a pungent sour smell arrived with a boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade, who had been prepared for a long time, ordered her summoning beast Katsuyu to spray a large amount of strong acid toward the hole on the ground!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The acid poured into the hole along the ground. Clearly, the Sannin had the intention of using acid to force the salamander out of the hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, as Katsuyu's acid continued to pour into the ground, the figure of Ibuse the Salamander finally drilled out along a hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Opportunity!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just now!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orochimaru and Jiraiya, standing on the head of Gamabunta, flashed a sharp light in their eyes simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both performed hand seals at the same time, and chakra surged out as if it were free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Gamabunta, who had been prepared for a long time, aimed at Ibuse the Salamander, who jumped out, and then a large amount of toad oil was spat out from Gamabunta's big mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following closely behind were the ninjutsu carefully prepared by Jiraiya and Orochimaru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scorching flames and violent winds were spat out from the mouths of the two at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Jiraiya's fire and Gamabunta's oil came into contact, a more terrifying fire erupted!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying and scorching flames instantly covered everything in front of them. The powerful fire even evaporated the torrential rain, as if it were going to burn everything in front of them to ashes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was not all; Orochimaru's Wind Style further promoted this scorching flame. The coverage of the already fierce fire instantly expanded by nearly double. Describing the momentum of this move as a prairie fire would not be an exaggeration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire Style: Great Flame Bullet Jiraiya unleashed before was already powerful enough, but compared to the flames in front of him, it was completely a small witch meeting a big witch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This group of flames was probably at least ten times more powerful than the Great Flame Bullet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Composite Ninja Art: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gathering the power of two people and one beast, this terrifying attack was the peak of the Sannin's joint attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this move could really hit Hanzo of the Salamander, so what if he was a Kage-level powerhouse? Even a Beyond-Kage level could be killed for you to see!\u003C\u002Fp>",1480,"2026-06-17T05:01:42.922Z","2026-06-17T05:05:39.462Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","c0043744c1d19d40b3ec11164c8904c47e7cde1f0c111f8785df3e3020d535db","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-483","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-481",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
