Chapter 70

The battle below was drawing to a close.

Tsunade and Orochimaru were thrown out by the shadow clone's golden chain.

As a result, the two of them slid heavily on the ground for a long distance.

Fortunately, the shadow clone's attack was not heavy, and they only suffered some skin injuries at most. They would recover soon after applying some iodine medicated wine.

"How is it? Do you want to fight again?" A hint of a smile appeared on the old face of the shadow clone.

She looked at Tsunade and Orochimaru, who struggled to get up from the ground, and she did not move.

She was very martial, not like a young man.

Tsunade was panting, and her face was covered with sweat.

Part of her clothes were torn, revealing her white skin.

In the past, Jiraiya would have come up to lick her.

But at this moment, he was extremely focused, not affected by the outside world at all, and was rarely reliable.

Orochimaru glanced behind him, and there was a gleam of light in his snake-like eyes.

‘【Sage Mode】?... Jiraiya... You are already ahead of me! ’

Thinking, he looked at the shadow clone.

“Lord Mito, your strength is still so strong!” He complimented.

“Not bad, it’s not too difficult to deal with you!”

Hearing this, Orochimaru couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “Is this the strength of the Warring States Period…

Heh… We are the pinnacle of ordinary people, and you have already reached a height that we can only dream of, Lord Mito, do you think we have a chance to surpass you?”

The shadow clone is a physical clone created by using chakra based on the information of the original body.

She also has the original body’s thoughts.

Hearing Orochimaru’s words, she carefully looked at the three of them, and couldn’t help but smile with expectation.

"Yes, you are the most outstanding geniuses of this generation. In the near future, you will hold up half of Konoha!"

"But our confidence has been destroyed by this battle!"

Tsunade, who was standing by, couldn't help but wonder as she listened to the conversation between Orochimaru and his shadow clone.

Orochimaru doesn't seem to be such a talkative person, otherwise he wouldn't have the title of 'Cold Lord' now.

This 'Cold Lord' doesn't just mean that he has a cold personality, but also that he doesn't talk much.

But that's only for people he doesn't like, he doesn't talk much. If he makes eye contact with him, let alone a person, even a snake, he will treat it like a relative.

For example, dissecting it and soaking it in formalin! ?

But soon, she thought of something, and her heart suddenly lit up, but her face was a little discouraged.

Then he echoed, "Yes, Grandmother, we have been fighting all over Konoha these days, but now we are beaten like this by your shadow clone. I think we are really not suitable to be ninjas!"

As she said this, she looked extremely disappointed, looked at the other party, sighed and said, "Why don't we go back now and never set foot on the battlefield again!"

But the shadow clone looked at them with a smile at this moment.

He didn't answer.

This made Orochimaru on the side almost speechless. He rolled his eyes directly at Tsunade.

If he had...

'Sister, you're overacting...'

Do you really think Mito-sama is an idiot!

I just said something that seemed to make sense, but in fact it was meaningless, but it was easy for people to answer.

You are so good, you just acted it out!

People say that big breasts mean no brains, but yours don't seem to be that big!

How come you have no brains!

Alas!

Tsunade: [・ヘ・?]

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became awkward, and even Tsunade noticed something was wrong.

First, the grandmother looked like she was smiling, as if she had seen through her.

Then, Orochimaru rolled his eyes, almost hitting her in the face.

She realized belatedly that she seemed to have gone too far, and immediately laughed awkwardly.

"Why are you all looking at me? Fight!"

"Hurry up and fight, otherwise it will be difficult to fight when you are cold!"

No need to guess, I just thought of this!

Uzumaki Mito looked at her jokingly and asked, "Why, don't you want to play your grandmother?"

Hearing this, Tsunade blushed and turned her head away awkwardly.

"What are you talking about? It's not the role yet!"

Orochimaru rubbed his eyebrows, looking annoyed.

"Tsunade, you...ah...forget it..."

"Don't say anything!" Tsunade directly retorted, asking Orochimaru not to say anything.

Otherwise, she would be the one who would be embarrassed.

Orochimaru: "..."

I haven't said anything yet!

The shadow clone standing by interrupted at the right time: "Okay, you guys are still acting, you just want to buy time for little Jiraiya, don't worry, I will still give you this time!"She also wanted to see little Jiraiya's [Sage Mode].

Orochimaru: "!!!"

How did you know? Did you eavesdrop on my thoughts?

After realizing that Tsunade had acted, he immediately took advantage of the situation and used Tsunade's mistake as a breakthrough to divert the attention of the shadow clone to her.

As long as he and Tsunade had an argument, he could effectively delay time.

Talking nonsense to the other party before was the first level, but I didn't expect that the second level was also seen through by the other party.

Too much!

Tsunade: "(°ヘ°)

Still?

Grandma, why did you say 'still act'?

Do you mean did I act just now?

I don't think so!

"Yes, that's right, you saw through all this, you are really worthy of being my grandmother! "Tsunade hurriedly complimented.

That's right, she was just acting, but the other party saw through it.

In short, she would never admit that her IQ was lower than theirs.

"Tsunade, Orochimaru, come together!"

At this moment, a heroic voice came from behind them, and all the attention of everyone in the field was attracted to him.

The corner of the shadow clone's mouth rose.

"Is it gathered? "

But it's much slower than the Great Pillar. I wonder how much power of the senjutsu you can bring out...

Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally fine. If it didn't work any better, he really wanted to admit defeat.

Anyway, he lost to the wife of the First Hokage, Uzumaki Mito. It's not shameful.

'But it actually took six minutes, and you can't be distracted to do other things during this time...'

Just pray that Jiraiya's technique is not bad!

He quickly jumped behind Jiraiya, protecting him in front of him, and reminded him: "Mito-sama's clone has long known that you are gathering senjutsu energy. I guess she must have a way to crack it. You have to be careful!"

Tsunade also came to his side and said: "My grandfather can open the [Sage Mode] in seconds, so my grandmother must be familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of this move. From the feeling, your [Sage Mode] is far inferior to my grandfather. You have to be careful!"

Jiraiya listened carefully to the two people's words, he nodded heavily and said: "I understand! ”

“But no matter what, we must go to the battlefield. World War II cannot continue!”

“Well, go ahead, I will assist you!” Tsunade nodded and replied.

Orochimaru patted his shoulder from behind and said, “I will protect your rear!”

Jirai did not say much, he patted his hand on his shoulder.

Good buddy, everything is self-evident.

He took two steps forward and looked at the shadow clone, “Sorry to have kept you waiting!”

“Not that long, I am already satisfied to see another sage in Konoha!” The shadow clone looked at Jiraiya’s unchanged appearance and smiled with relief.

Then she raised her hand and gestured, “Come on, you have absorbed enough natural energy, you should be able to activate the [Sage Mode]! "

At this moment, she could sense that the natural chakra in Jiraiya's body had reached the spiritual point, and reached a mysterious balance with the physical energy and spiritual energy.

At this time, in this state, as long as the practitioner is willing, he can enter the [Sage Mode] at any time.

Jiraiya nodded and replied: "You are really a discerning person, you can tell my authenticity at a glance!"

"To be honest, this technique of mine is actually not perfect, and I am not very proficient in [Sage Mode]! "As he said this, he raised his hands in front of his chest and made five seals.

Hai-Xu-You-Shen-Wei!

Looking at his seals, Mito frowned.

This...

I've never heard that entering the [Sage Mode] requires [Summoning Technique]!

Could it be that he needs the help of a summoned beast?

Sure enough, as this thought came to her mind, two small clouds of smoke suddenly appeared out of thin air from the ground where Jiraiya's hand touched.

Before the smoke dissipated, a voice was heard.

"Little Jiraiya, we are eating, why did you call us out!"

"Old woman, don't say that, little Jiraiya must have encountered a big trouble, otherwise he would not have summoned the two of us specifically, he must want to use that technique! "

The voices belonged to an old woman and an old man.

From the conversation, they should be a couple.

Combined with Jiraiya's summoning beast, the shadow clone roughly knew who was coming.

"Sennin Fukasaku...Sennin Shima..."

"Long time no see!"

When the smoke cleared, two old toads the size of babies but very much like humans appeared.

Their gender can be seen from their appearance.

One of them has purple... hair... Let's call it hair, although this hair looks like purplepustules.

It held a bowl of insect dishes in its hand.

As the name suggests, it was a bowl of insects with a lot of soup in it.

If the insects were replaced with noodles, it would definitely whet people's appetite.

It looked over and found that it was a familiar yet strange old woman, and was a little confused.

"You are..."
