The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

"It's Lord Raiga!"

"That was close. Jiraiya and Orochimaru almost switched the battlefield back together."

"Does Lord Raiga's presence here mean that Shimura Danzo has been completely defeated?"

"It still has to be Lord Raiga!"

Hearing these comments, Raiga Kurosuki smiled.

"When it really matters, we still have to rely on my Black Hoe Raiya."

Jiraiya sighed, his expression turning serious.

"They succeeded."

Then his gaze fell upon Kisame Hoshigaki and the Sword of Wisdom.

"A Zanpakuto that absorbs all ninjutsu"

"That's quite a troublesome ability."

"Compared to Ao and Fuguki, Kisame Hoshigaki does have a certain degree of restraint over me."

However, Jiraiya did not believe he would lose.

Putting aside ninjutsu, he is also quite good at taijutsu and genjutsu.

Orochimaru could use summoning techniques to overwhelm and defeat Kisame Hoshigaki, so he could do the same.

It won't be easy for Kisame Hoshigaki to block Gamaken's attack.

However, what Jiraiya needed was not to avoid losing.

Instead, it was a resounding victory.

Even a small victory won't do.

But right now, Jiraiya couldn't think of any way to achieve a great victory in the short term.

"If I had accumulated Sage Chakra beforehand, it might be possible."

"But now, in the short term, it's difficult."

"Time is really running out."

Jiraiya kept looking back.

"It was because of Raiga Kurosuki's sudden intervention that Orochimaru and I were separated."

"Danzo-senpai, you couldn't even hold off Raiga Kurosuki? I heard you even wanted to compete with Sarutobi-sensei for the Hokage position. Where did you get the courage?"

"If Danzo-senpai were the Hokage, Konoha would probably have collapsed long ago."

Kisame Hoshigaki looked at Jiraiya and Gamaken opposite him and took a deep breath.

"Young man, what are you afraid of?"

Zhanlong comforted Kisame Hoshigaki.

"I'm here, there's nothing to worry about."

"That white-haired old man can't do anything to us."

Jiraiya's eye twitched slightly.

"The white-haired old man?"

"I had heard before that this Sword of Wisdom had a foul mouth, and now it seems that it is indeed true."

Just then, an even louder voice drew the attention of almost everyone present.

Not only was the volume loud, but the content of the words was also quite shameful.

Qing raised the Evil King Flame Killing Sword high and looked indifferently at Orochimaru.

"Explode, reality! Shatter, spirit! With my flames, destroy everything!"

Orochimaru:"???"

The voice just fell.

"boom!"

A flame burned on the sword's blade, alternating between white and red, with some parts turning gold, condensing towards the tip of the sword and forming a fireball.

The fireball expanded instantly.

A fiery python crawled out.

As it crawled out, its appearance changed.

Four limbs, five claws.

Long horns, mane.

An astonishing aura swirled around the fire dragon.

The surrounding air was distorted and twisted.

"go with!"

Ao pointed at Orochimaru.

Suddenly, the fire dragon burst forth.

It seemed to carry the weight of a thousand pounds.

Orochimaru's pupils contracted, and he quickly formed hand seals.

"Spiritual Communication Technique, Triple Rashomon!"

Three enormous doors appeared out of thin air and blocked Orochimaru's path.

The fire dragon crashed down.

"boom!"

The first door shattered instantly.

The second gate held firm for a moment.

The third door held on for a mere moment.

Soon, all three doors shattered.

The fire dragon arrived in front of Orochimaru.

"Summoning Jutsu, Orochi!"

Since Manda cannot be summoned, Orochimaru can only summon an ordinary giant snake.

But if even Gamabunta felt that the flames were difficult to withstand, how could an ordinary giant snake possibly stop them?

With that sharp wail, the giant snake vanished in a puff of white smoke.

"boom!"

Orochimaru was struck and sent flying backward.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

It wasn't until after a hundred meters that it landed.

But it didn't stop.

Instead, it keeps rolling, bouncing, falling, bouncing, and falling again.

When Orochimaru got up, he was in a terrible state, his body stained with blood, and most of his body had burn marks.

"What a powerful force!"

"Is this green attack really that strong?"

"Jiraiya-sama was never this disheveled before."

"Lord Orochimaru is too weak."

"Lord Danzo is one of them."

"Only Jiraiya-sama can be relied upon."

Hearing such a sound, Orochimaru, who was already in a bad mood, became even worse.

Orochimaru stared in Ao's direction, his face grim.

"Evil King Flame Killing Sword!"

"Even after breaking through the triple Rashomon and my summoning serpent, it still has such a powerful impact."

"This flame is extraordinary."

"But your opponent is me."

Orochimaru's condition looked terrible to everyone else.

In reality, Orochimaru himself didn't care much.

Orochimaru's path was different from Jiraiya's.

Orochimaru excels at survival and recovery abilities.

Such injuries may seem severe, but as long as they are not fatal, they pose no real threat to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru can heal his injuries at a very fast pace.

If it's truly impossible to fully recover, I can simply use the Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique once.

"Fully revived".

Orochimaru's eyes revealed a hint of resentment.

Having lost his position as Hokage and been "exiled" to the front lines to fight, Orochimaru had already gained an absolute advantage against Kisame Hoshigaki. However, the sudden change of opponents caught Orochimaru off guard.

Orochimaru suffered a great loss.
