Chapter 1057 Hell Training

After receiving the order, everyone dispersed and began to prepare for the upcoming war. Orochimaru quickly summoned the elites of the Anbu and arranged the exploration mission in detail. The Anbu members disappeared into the night like ghosts. Jiraiya came to the training ground and looked at a group of energetic but slightly immature newcomers with a sly smile on his face, "From today, your hellish special training begins!" Although the newcomers showed fear on their faces, their eyes were more determined. Tsunade also went to the medical department without stopping to prepare medicinal materials and check medical equipment to ensure that everything was foolproof.

The Third Hokage stayed in the Hokage's office, looking at the portraits of the previous Hokage on the wall, praying silently in his heart. Suddenly, an Anbu ninja came quickly and knelt on one knee: "Hokage, I found that the ninjas of the Sand Village in the Wind Country have made unusual movements, and there seems to be a sign of marching towards Konoha." The Third Hokage's eyes were stern, and he clenched his fists: "It seems that the war is coming early, notify everyone and prepare for battle!" A war to protect Konoha is about to begin. At the same time, in the camp of the Sand Village, the Wind Shadow stood on a high place, looking in the direction of Konoha in the distance, his eyes were cold. The counselor beside him whispered: "My lord, Konoha is heavily guarded. If we attack rashly, what are our chances of winning?" The Wind Shadow snorted coldly: "Konoha seems strong on the surface, but in fact it has many internal contradictions. This time we will unite with other forces, and we will definitely be able to seriously injure them."

On the Konoha side, Jiraiya accelerated the pace of special training, and under his spur, the strength of the newcomers increased rapidly. Orochimaru's Anbu brought back information that the Sand Village had united with some forces of the Rock Village. The third generation of Hokage made a prompt decision and arranged Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade to lead a team to meet the enemy. The battle started, and the Konoha ninjas rushed towards the enemy like a tiger descending from the mountain. Jiraiya displayed a powerful fairy technique, Orochimaru summoned various strange ninja beasts, and Tsunade treated the wounded in the rear. On the battlefield, shouts of killing and the roar of ninjutsu were intertwined. A thrilling battle broke out on the border of Konoha. Both sides tried their best and vowed to win this war. Just when the two sides were deadlocked, the Sand Village suddenly used a surprise attack. They sent a group of ninjas who were good at earth escape, quietly went around to the back of Konoha, and tried to destroy Konoha's supply line. Konoha's rear defense was suddenly tight, and the ninjas in charge of this place were in a hard fight. Jiraiya sensed the crisis in the rear and sent some people to support. Orochimaru took the opportunity to perform a forbidden technique, summoning a huge group of snakes, rushing towards the joint forces of Sand Village and Rock Village, disrupting the opponent's formation for a while. Tsunade looked at the wounded who kept coming in, and was anxious. She increased the intensity of treatment and commanded the medical ninjas to improve efficiency. At this time, the Kazekage took action himself. He performed a powerful wind escape ninjutsu, and the wind whistled towards the Konoha ninjas. Seeing this, the Third Hokage stepped forward decisively and started a fierce duel with the Kazekage. The two ninjutsu collided and burst into dazzling light. The battle became more and more intense, and neither side had the slightest intention of retreating. I don't know how this bloody battle will end. Just as the Third Hokage and the Kazekage were fighting fiercely, the leader of the Rock Village took the opportunity to launch the Rock Escape Ninjutsu, and huge rocks smashed at the Konoha ninjas like cannonballs. For a moment, the Konoha ninjas were in disarray, and casualties continued to increase. Seeing this, Jiraiya hurriedly used the Toad Oil Flame Bomb to fight against the Rock Release Ninjutsu. Orochimaru controlled the snakes and attacked the leader of the Hidden Rock Village. Tsunade treated the wounded while looking for opportunities to support the front line.

Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a flash of lightning flashed across the sky. It turned out that the ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village came to join the battle. They joined the camps of the Hidden Sand Village and the Hidden Rock Village, making the situation in Konoha even more critical. The Third Hokage knew that he could not continue to be deadlocked like this, so he decided to use his strongest ninjutsu - the Shikigakure Fuujin. Just as he was about to perform it, a mysterious ninja suddenly appeared and blocked the Kazekage. The mysterious ninja was powerful and was in a stalemate with the Third Hokage. At this time, the supply line behind Konoha had not yet been fully restored, and no one could predict where this war would go. Just as the situation became more and more critical, Jiraiya suddenly discovered that there was a fatal flaw in the attack of the Hidden Rain Village ninjas. He acted decisively and commanded Gamabunta to rush to the flaw. Gamabunta opened his huge mouth and swallowed a large number of Hidden Rain Village ninjas into his stomach. Orochimaru also seized the opportunity and controlled the snake group to entangle the leader of the Hidden Rock Village, preventing him from continuing to perform the Rock Release Ninjutsu. While treating the wounded, Tsunade used her extraordinary strength to knock away several Sand Village ninjas who tried to launch a sneak attack.

The mysterious ninja and the third generation of Hokage were in a stalemate, and the chakra of both sides was rapidly depleted. At this time, a cheer came from the back of Konoha. It turned out that the support troops finally arrived and successfully restored the supply line. The morale of the Konoha ninjas was greatly boosted and launched a fierce counterattack. The third generation of Hokage took the opportunity to concentrate and broke through the defense of the mysterious ninja. The Kazekage also gradually showed signs of defeat under the joint attack of Jiraiya and Orochimaru. The joint forces of the Sand Village, the Rock Village and the Rain Village began to waver, and the balance of this war was slowly tilting towards Konoha. Just when Konoha was in the upper hand, the Kazekage suddenly took out a mysterious scroll from his arms and muttered something. In an instant, a strong and evil breath spread, and a huge sand beast broke out of the ground. It was as big as a mountain, and every step made the earth tremble. This sudden change hindered the offensive of the Konoha ninjas.

Jiraiya frowned and immediately summoned more toads to help. Orochimaru manipulated the snakes to try to entangle the sand beast, but the sand on the sand beast was extremely hard and the snakes could not get close. Tsunade saw that the situation was tense again and quickly deployed medical ninjas to prepare for the upcoming fierce battle.

The Third Hokage knew that the sand beast could not be allowed to wreak havoc. He concentrated his chakra and performed the technique of multiple shadow clones. Many clones rushed towards the sand beast, trying to contain it. With the concerted efforts of everyone, they gradually found the weakness of the sand beast. Jiraiya saw the right opportunity and hit the sand beast's vitals with a powerful fairy magic toad cannon, and the sand beast fell to the ground. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the joint forces fled. The Konoha ninjas cheered and this arduous battle ended with Konoha's victory. However, just when everyone thought the battle was over, the Wind Shadow stood up again from the wreckage of the sand beast, and his body was wrapped in a more powerful evil force. It turned out that the mysterious scroll was a taboo magic weapon that allowed the user to coexist with the sand beast for a short time and gain powerful power. The Wind Shadow laughed wildly and said, "Do you think you will win by defeating the sand beast? Too naive!" He formed seals with his hands, and the surrounding sand instantly condensed into countless spikes and shot at the Konoha ninjas. The Third Hokage shouted, "Everyone be careful!" and led everyone to fight again. Jiraiya summoned the Toad Sage to help, Orochimaru used the Impure World Reincarnation to summon the previous generation of strong men to help, and Tsunade also joined the battle, using her supernatural power to fight against the Kazekage. In the fierce battle, the Konoha ninjas showed their tenacious fighting spirit and gradually found out the weaknesses of the Kazekage's new power. In the end, the Third Hokage used a modified version of the Shiki Fuujin to seal the evil power of the Kazekage. The Kazekage collapsed to the ground, and the joint forces were completely defeated. Konoha once again defended its glory, and this war also made the Konoha ninjas more united and powerful.
