"Damn it."

"What should we do now?"

Just when everyone was at a loss, a loud shout rekindled their hope.

"The Great Jade Rasengan."

Jiraiya in Sage Mode arrived, wielding a Rasengan almost the size of a Tailed Beast Ball. Without a word, Jiraiya directly rammed the Rasengan into the Tailed Beast Ball.

"boom."

A violent explosion unleashed a massive wave. Sand and stones flew everywhere, and the energy release created a crater approximately twenty meters long and ten meters deep. Jiraiya was nowhere to be found. Just as everyone was worried about him, a cough brought them relief.

"Cough cough."

"Jiraiya, don't be so stubborn next time."

Standing on Jiraiya's shoulder, Fukasaku reminded him that although doing this would not kill him, he would still feel very uncomfortable if he got injured.

"Next time I will pay attention."

Jiraiya's defining characteristic was his willingness to listen to advice, but his stubborn refusal to change his ways. He was inherently overconfident and, having mastered Sage Mode, wanted to make a name for himself. He did achieve that, but a single Tailed Beast Ball attack made him realize the gap in their strength. Sage Mode is also subjective; after all, Hashirama Senju's level was an exception, unattainable for most. Without Sage Mode, Jiraiya would have perished in the explosion.

"We've finally made it. The Gate of Shock opens."

The newcomer was none other than Might Guy, who immediately used the Seventh Gate without hesitation. He knew that to deal with the Nine-Tails, he had to use all his strength, and since the Death Gate was temporarily closed, he could only use the strongest Seventh Gate.

A blue wave of energy erupted from Might Guy's body.

"here we go."

With that, Matt Damon stomped his foot and vanished instantly, leaving only a deep footprint in his wake.

Might Guy directly engaged Kurama in a one-on-one battle. Every punch landed with a visceral force, and each collision produced a sonic boom.

"Boom, bang."

The Nine-Tails' ability to dominate the ninja world before encountering Hashirama Senju speaks volumes about its strength. Might Guy, currently the strongest taijutsu user (excluding Carrot), is also quite powerful. The two fought evenly. This put the spectators on the sidelines in a difficult position, as they had to use their chakra to mitigate the aftershocks of the explosions. This highlights the disadvantage of fighting in Konoha; everyone has to be cautious and careful, fearing excessive damage. The Nine-Tails, however, had no such constraints. It wanted to create even more chaos to match its status as the strongest tailed beast.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Might Guy seized the opportunity and delivered a series of kicks to Kurama's belly, sending it flying.

"boom."

It hit the ground hard.

"Hoohoohoo."

Matt Day was panting heavily, supporting himself on his legs with his hands. Maintaining the throbbing for so long had left his body extremely tired.

"Roar."

With a roar, the Nine-Tailed Fox threw out giant logs, their roots still covered in mud, clearly plucked by the Nine-Tailed Fox itself.

Might Guy hadn't expected Kurama to be so energetic and unharmed after being attacked by him. It could only be said that Kurama was incredibly tough.

Kurama was furious. When had it ever suffered such humiliation, being kicked several times by a mere insect? (Of course, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were suppressing it, so that doesn't count.) Kurama knew how to apply double standards. Its glorious image was damaged, its mood soured, and it decided to vent its anger. Thus, all of Might Guy faced the attack of the giant tree.

Might Guy had just deactivated the Eight Gates and was now completely immobilized, only able to watch helplessly as the trees drew closer and closer, unable to react in the slightest.

"Am I going to die here?"

This was Matt Day's only thought at that moment.

Which came first, a surprise or an accident? Just as Might Guy was about to become the first Konoha Jonin to die in the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha, the surprise happened.

"Hidden Shadow Snake Hand"

Orochimaru, who hadn't appeared for a long time, finally made his move. His hand transformed into a snake head, stretched out, and bound Might Dai's waist, pulling him backward. Just as Might Dai left his spot, the Nine-Tails' swarm of wood arrived.

"boom."

Giant logs were driven directly into the ground. If Orochimaru hadn't acted quickly, Might Guy would either have been crushed to death by the logs or experienced the chilling sensation of having a log pierce his heart.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

Might Guy, upon arriving at the Pure Land, profusely thanked Orochimaru, having witnessed the magnificent scene before him. He had almost ended up in the Pure Land.

"Take him to the hospital."

Orochimaru spoke, and then two ninjas stepped forward to support Might Guy, who could barely stand.

Might Guy knew that he would only be a burden if he stayed, so he readily agreed to all of Orochimaru's arrangements.

"This farce should end here."

Orochimaru spoke slowly. After all, as Hokage, if the Nine-Tails issue remained unresolved, his authority would be undermined. During the reigns of the previous three Hokage, Konoha was peaceful, but as soon as Orochimaru took office, an attack occurred. What would the villagers think? They would only think of Orochimaru's incompetence, causing Konoha to suffer. Although Orochimaru didn't care, the perfectionist Orochimaru couldn't allow himself to be tainted. He would personally resolve the current trouble.

"Orochimaru, don't be impulsive. Let's all work together, we'll find a way."

"Once Kuna recovers, we can seal the Nine-Tails."

Tsunade, who hadn't appeared yet, was treating Kushina, which was Jiraiya's source of confidence.

"Your idea is good, but I don't like it."

Orochimaru spoke to Jiraiya without turning his head.

Chapter 110 Orochimaru becomes light

Orochimaru stood in front of Kurama, his hands forming a hand seal and pressing them against his forehead.

Lines began to spread from Orochimaru's forehead and then spread throughout his body, adding an eerie quality to his already handsome appearance. His aura also increased several times over.

"hiss."

Jiraiya gasped when he saw Orochimaru in this state. Although Orochimaru usually appeared cold and aloof, he was still a kind person at heart. However, Jiraiya, who was in Sage Mode, was extremely sensitive. The last trace of humanity in Orochimaru had completely disappeared, and he looked down on all living beings like a god.

"Orochimaru, are you okay?"

For the first time, Jiraiya felt that Orochimaru was so far away from him, causing a pang of pain in his heart.

"It's okay, just leave it to me."

Upon hearing Jiraiya's question, Orochimaru paused for a moment before speaking.

"You ant, do you think you can mess with me?"

The Nine-Tails spoke arrogantly to Orochimaru, who was just a little kid. As the strongest tailed beast, the Nine-Tails had every right to be arrogant.

"what."

Orochimaru ignored Kurama's sarcasm and threw a punch at it, the force of which forced Kurama's body back.

"you."

A true expert's skill is immediately apparent; Orochimaru's punch greatly heightened Kurama's vigilance towards him.

However, Orochimaru didn't give Kurama any time to think, and immediately pounced. Kurama was overjoyed to see that Orochimaru wanted to fight it head-on, after all, tailed beasts all liked this kind of fighting style, and their minds weren't as complex as humans'.

"Boom, bang."

This commotion was even more intense than the last, completely destroying the surrounding environment. The energy that inadvertently overflowed wherever they went directly altered the forest's landscape, causing the ground to cave in and boulders to bulge out. Outsiders were powerless to intervene and could only hope that Orochimaru would achieve victory. Otherwise, Konoha would surely suffer heavy losses.

Orochimaru's markings began to glow, the light enveloping his body as if he had transformed into light itself. Orochimaru possesses limitless potential; given a direction, he can achieve unimaginable gains. This state is a method of energy utilization similar to Sage Mode, developed by Orochimaru through the application of Karot Ki. He stores energy within his markings, opening the energy valve through hand seals when needed. However, it hasn't yet reached Orochimaru's standard of permanent absorption and use. But for now, it's sufficient.

As the light grew brighter, Orochimaru's power also increased. What was originally a close contest now turned into a slight advantage for Orochimaru.

"Okay, that's awesome!"

Jiraiya couldn't help but speak up. Originally, his strength was not far from Orochimaru's, and having learned Sage Mode, Jiraiya believed that his strength had surpassed Orochimaru's. He never expected that Orochimaru had such a trump card, and that his strength had far exceeded his own. If it weren't for the Nine-Tails' attack this time, Jiraiya might have underestimated Orochimaru.

"Yes! Orochimaru's strength is getting stronger and stronger. As the Hokage, the stronger he is, the more beneficial it is for the village."

Saku Hatake, standing next to Jiraiya, spoke up.

"Don't you guys feel like we've seen Hokage's situation somewhere before? It's like we've seen it somewhere before."

Nara spoke up, as a member of Konoha's highly intelligent clan, he was very proud of his memory, and he felt that he had seen this situation somewhere before.

"Now that you mention it, I feel like I've seen this somewhere before."

The same statement was made by the third school.

Apart from Jiraiya, everyone else looked thoughtful.

“Carrot”.

"No one knows a son better than his father," said Hatake Sakumo, because when it comes to understanding Carrot's fighting style best, it's only Hatake Sakumo.

"That's right, it's Carrot."

Nara Shikaku said with certainty, because once you've seen Carrot's extraordinary figure, you'll never forget it.

No wonder.

Choza Akimichi looked on with a sigh. He was one of the witnesses to the scene where Carrot was enveloped in a yellow aura and beat the Cloud Ninja so badly that they couldn't lift their heads.

Jiraiya was the only one who couldn't get a word in edgewise, because he wasn't there and hadn't seen it before, but that didn't stop him from asking questions.

Where is Carrot?

The battle has lasted so long, even if Carrot is slow, he would have arrived by now, but there is still no sign of him.

"He left the village."
