Chapter 61: Orochimaru's Defeat
"Salamander, break the opponent's ninjutsu first."
Hanzo began to give orders to the salamander.
"Woo-wah, woo-wah."
The salamander screamed twice, and its huge body was very flexible.
With a tail swing, Konoha's mixed ninjutsu was completely destroyed.
"Woo-wah, woo-wah."
This is to take credit for Hanzo.
Hanzo squatted down and touched its head to show encouragement.
When Wanshe saw the Salamander, his expression changed. This big guy is not easy to fight.
"Damn, Hanzo's summoned beast is so strong."
From this simple attack, Orochimaru could see that the Salamander was very powerful.
When Orochimaru faced Hanzo head on, he realized why he was called Demigod.
The ninjas of Konoha also began to engage in close combat with the Rain ninjas.
For a while, ninjutsu was everywhere on the battlefield and people kept dying.
Orochimaru drew his sword and fought against Hanzo's sickle, but after a few moves he was at a disadvantage.
Also, be careful of the poisonous gas spewed by the salamander from time to time.
In this weapons battle, Orochimaru felt extremely frustrated.
He spotted an opening.
"Latent Shadow Snake Hands."
Multiple large snakes emerged from Orochimaru's sleeves and bit Hanzo, with some attempting to wrap around him.
"Swordsmanship, Iai Slash."
Hanzo cut the snake in half with one sickle, and Orochimaru's signature ninjutsu didn't hurt him at all.
Taking this opportunity, Orochimaru also retreated to the top of the Ten Thousand Snakes.
However, Wanshe was in a somewhat weak state at this time, and had more scars on his body.
He has been poisoned, it's the same poison, so he can still hold on for now, but Orochimaru estimates that it won't last too long.
He lowered his head to bite a few Rain Ninjas, then raised his head and swallowed them alive.
"I can't hold on for much longer, so be careful."
After saying that, he continued to restrain the Salamander, preventing it from attacking the Konoha ninjas.
"The Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes."
Orochimaru spewed out a large number of snakes from his mouth and attacked Hanzo.
"Again, your name is Orochimaru, and all you can do is play with snakes?"
Hanzo didn't even move. The snakes were swallowed by the Sansho Fish, and then burrowed into the ground.
When it came out again, it pushed thousands of snakes high up into the air.
"Orochimaru, I can't hold on any longer."
Ten thousand snakes turned into smoke and disappeared in the air, returning to Longdi Cave to heal their wounds.
"Without your summoned beast, you are no match for me."
Hanzo rushed towards Orochimaru with a sickle in hand.
At this time, the salamander truly demonstrated its powerful killing power on the battlefield.
A large amount of purple poisonous mist spewed out of its mouth, sweeping across the entire battlefield.
Soon, Konoha's ninjas began to die, and even the stronger ones began to feel numb.
Gradually being slaughtered by the Rain Ninjas, Orochimaru already knew the outcome of this war.
From the moment the Ten Thousand Snakes disappeared, no, from the moment he rushed up with a large army.
The outcome of this battle has already been decided.
"Earth Stand, crack."
Orochimaru used ninjutsu to dodge Hanzo's attack, turned around and started to escape with the Konoha ninjas who were still able to move.
Seven months ago, the Rain Ninjas were massacred, and this time Konoha suffered even greater losses.
War never favors the weak, and Konoha has a large number of orphans.
"Chasing?"
Shen Da appeared next to Hanzo, also wearing a gas mask on his face. Poison does not distinguish between enemy and friend.
"Forget it, it would be troublesome to kill the Hokage's disciple."
Hanzo has no intention of fighting Konoha to the death.
Death in war is normal, but killing the Hokage's disciple is another matter altogether.
In terms of comprehensive strength, the Rain Country is still far behind the big countries.
"Kill them all and go back."
Hanzo gave cruel orders without a single ripple in his heart.
This is the price of war.
When Hanzo left with the Rain Ninja, it started raining.
Heavy rain washed the earth, and the rain falling on the battlefield mixed with blood to form red puddles.
The ground was filled with Konoha's ninjas, and except for the dozen or so people taken away by Orochimaru, no one survived.
"Lord Orochimaru, what should we do?"
More than a dozen ninjas who were poisoned to varying degrees were pale and their movements were slow.
One of the relatively mild ninjas asked Orochimaru, who had a gloomy face.
Now he is fleeing to the Land of Fire.
"Hanzo didn't chase us. We are safe for now."
"But this battle was a complete defeat, and we need to return to the village."
"Your injuries also need treatment as soon as possible."
Orochimaru still had a clear mind and did not complain. It was normal for the weak to be beaten, and he was rarely willing to believe in the strength of others.
But at this moment, a thought flashed through his mind: if Kawakaze, Jiraiya, and Tsunade were there, would the outcome of this battle be different?
But there are not so many ifs in the world, and defeat is a foregone conclusion.
Orochimaru led the remaining Konoha ninjas and rushed to Konoha Village without stopping.
Three more ninjas who were severely poisoned died on the way.
The atmosphere in the entire team was very depressing, and almost no one spoke along the way.
Due to their injuries, it took them four days to return to Konoha Village.
Fortunately, Orochimaru carried the antidote pills made by Tsunade with him, so the remaining ninjas who were slightly poisoned were able to hold on until now.
The moment they saw the village gate open, only one ninja was still standing beside Orochimaru, and the rest let out their last breath and fainted on the ground.
"Hurry up and arrange for someone to take her to Konoha First People's Hospital."
Orochimaru instructed the Chunin who opened the door.
How could these two Chunins not know Orochimaru? They went to ask for help tremblingly without even having time to verify their identities.
Orochimaru watched the medical staff take the injured ninja away before entering the village and walking towards the Hokage building.
He wanted to apologize, as it was his duty as a commander.
Arriving at the Hokage building, the Anbu quickly reported and brought Orochi to the office.
"Teacher, this battle is a great defeat."
......
"It's my incompetence."
The fact that the proud Orochimaru could say this shows that the pressure brought to him by this battle is far more than what appears on the surface.
"Hanzō of the Salamander will take action personally?"
"No wonder you underestimated him."
The Sandai had no anger on his face, but just a gloomy expression, and he kept smoking his pipe.
The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.
The two Hokage advisors also remained silent, and no one knew what countermeasures they were thinking of.
"Go down first, I'll think about it."
After a while, the Sandai put down his pipe, sighed, and let Orochimaru go.
"Xiaochun, Yan, what do you think?"
After Orochimaru left, the Sandaime asked the two advisors for their opinions.
"Add more troops and continue fighting."
"The ninjas of Konoha cannot die in vain."
The two people's words are different, but their goals are the same.
"Okay, I'll ask the daimyo for supplies right now."
The third generation's eyes were stern, and he would not be so easy to talk to this time when he was asked to replenish his energy.
Orochimaru walked out of the Hokage building with a dazed look in his eyes and tears unconsciously flowing from the corners of his eyes.
Only your own strength is the most reliable.
I looked up at the sky. The sky of Konoha was so blue, and the breeze blew, and the leaves fluttered.
For a moment, Orochimaru didn't know where to go.
