"Orochimaru, I used to think you were the smartest of the Sannin. Now it seems Tsunade is the smartest one," Ryuji said with a hint of sarcasm.

Yashamaru has a scarab beetle puppet for communication, and the situation there is constantly being reported back to us.

Tsunade, who had been in charge of hospital affairs, was nowhere to be found. Instead, a group of ANBU members came to confront them.

Clearly, Tsunade didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing and deliberately hid away.

Whether it was to avoid offending Ryuji and hoping to revive the two she cherished in the future, or simply because she disliked this kind of political behavior, she chose to refuse to participate.

"Perhaps!" Orochimaru said noncommittally, "You might indeed have some complete plan, but given the absolute difference in strength, it's impossible for it to succeed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large snake, as thick as an arm, emerged from the ground behind Long Er and coiled around him with lightning speed. The snake's head clung to his neck, baring its teeth and glaring menacingly.

"Lord Auki!"

On the side of Sunagakure, everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Kurenai raised her hand, stopping the Sunagakure members who wanted to help, and calmly said, "Our master isn't as bad as you think. Let's continue watching."

Upon hearing this, the Sand Village members fell silent.

Meanwhile, on Konoha's side, seeing Ryuji being entangled by the giant python, they couldn't help but smile.

Although many people did not witness it firsthand, the story of him killing Uchiha Setsuna in a duel using only taijutsu is still widely known in Konoha.

The ninjas of Konoha were all very wary of him.

Seeing him arrested now brings a sense of relief.

Orochimaru smiled as well. "Ayaki-kun, shall we continue to resist?"

"It seems you truly intend to be my enemy," Ryuji said in a deep voice.

"No, no, no." Orochimaru shook his head slightly. "I am a Konoha ninja. If you want to be an enemy of Konoha, you are naturally going to be an enemy of me. This was determined from the beginning."

"Really? That's a shame."

As the words fell, the ground trembled, especially beneath their feet.

Orochimaru's expression changed, and he immediately jumped up.

The next second, a black salamander the size of a house burst out of the ground, opening its blood-red maw toward Orochimaru like a predatory shark.

"Hanzo's summoning beast!"

Orochimaru's expression changed again. He aimed his right hand at a large tree by the roadside, and a giant python leaped out from his long sleeve, firmly gripping the tree trunk and pulling Orochimaru away before the salamander could swallow him.

boom!

The black pepperfish bit through the air, its massive body landing on the ground with a tremor, releasing a faint, ethereal odor of poison.

Ryuji was standing right at the feet of the salamander when he was immediately enveloped in the poisonous gas.

Just as the giant python coiled around him was about to bite down, the poison entered his body, and he instantly went limp and fell down.

"The poison gas is stronger than before!"

Orochimaru's pupils contracted.

He fought against Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Hanzo the Salamander several times, and suffered greatly from the deadly poison of the black salamander.

However, he and Tsunade later developed an antibody against the black salamander's deadly poison, so neither he nor his summoned beasts would be afraid of the black salamander's venom.

But now, his psychic serpent collapsed after taking a single breath.

This is just the poison that has been passively spread from the body of the black pepper fish. If it were to actively spray out the deadly poison from its venom sacs, how terrifying would that be?

The news that Sunagakure had defeated Amegakure and that Kurenai had killed Hanzo the Salamander had spread throughout the ninja world, so it's not hard to understand why Sunagakure would obtain Hanzo's original summoning beast.

But this one was clearly different from the one they were facing.

Orochimaru wondered to himself: Had Hanzo's Black Salamander become stronger, or were they not the same creature?

"Kill them!"

Long Er stood in the poisonous fog and coldly issued his orders.

As the words fell, the black salamander, the size of a dark house, opened its massive mouth towards the Konoha ninja and spewed out thick purple mist.

"Use Wind Release to blow the poison back!"

Orochimaru's expression changed drastically. As he gave the order, he leaped in front of the Konoha ninja, forming hand seals with several Wind Release ninjas who stepped forward: "Wind Release: Infinite Great Breakthrough!"

A violent hurricane spewed from its mouth, resembling a tornado lying horizontally, or a high-speed spinning drill, as it attacked the black pepper fish.

Long Er remained calm, taking a step forward to block the Black Mountain Salamander. He raised his hands to face forward, as if swallowing the ocean, and sucked the raging tornado into his palms.

The Konoha ninja's expression changed drastically, but he quickly regained his smile.

Although the Wind Release technique was absorbed, the inertia it generated changed the airflow, causing the wind to blow towards the Sand Village and the poisonous mist to spread in that direction as well.

But the Sand Village ninja remained calm and composed, taking out a gas mask and putting it on.

Ryuji had long been prepared to turn against Konoha.

This evolved form of the Salamander, cloned from the corpse cells of Hanzo's summoning beast and nurtured through the power of Wanlijiang, is one of his trump cards against Konoha.

The corresponding tactics and strategies had already been planned, so how could we not prepare gas masks to prevent accidental injuries?

"kill!"

With Ryuji's command, everyone in Sunagakure except for Kurenai began to move.

Wanlijiang stepped forward and stood at the front of the group.

She bit her finger, formed hand seals, and pressed them to the ground, chanting, "Spirit Summoning Technique!"

boom!

Amidst rising thick white smoke, a giant, multicolored salamander was summoned by spirit.

This one was cultivated using the same method.

However, due to the different types of highly venomous fish used for breeding, the two salamanders developed in different directions. The most obvious difference was that one was jet black and the other was multicolored. Both were spirit beasts that had signed a contract with Wanlijiang.

"Use poison gas!"

Wanlijiang jumped onto the head of the colorful mountain pepper fish and gave the command.

The Five-Colored Salamander opened its mouth wide and spewed out a thick, five-colored poison, while Wanlijiang formed a hand seal again and opened its small mouth as if swallowing the ocean, inhaling the purple poisonous gas exhaled by the Black Salamander as well.

In just a moment, her lower abdomen swelled up.

"Ninja Technique: Thousand Purple Red Poison!"

Wanlijiang exhaled colorful gas from his mouth.

The gas exploded beneath her feet, instantly covering an area of ​​hundreds of meters in radius.

Whether it's roadside flowers, trees, snakes, insects, rats, or ants, or crabs and small fish in the river, or even birds passing by in the sky, even if they aren't covered by the poisonous fog, just smelling a little bit from afar will cause them to fall directly from the sky and rot into dust.

If insects and animals meet such a fate, humans won't fare much better.

When the Sand Village ninja charged out, before they had even reached halfway, apart from the cunning Orochimaru who, seeing the situation was not good, used the Substitution Technique and Earth Release to escape, the rest of them were all rotted into dust before they could even scream.

The terrifying power of the Poisonous Body was on full display at this moment.

The combination of the alluring poison body and the deadly venom of the salamander makes it even more terrifying.

When the poisonous fog dissipated, the scene of wreckage scattered all over the ground was revealed.

The Sand Village ninjas exchanged glances, then all looked at Wanlijiang standing on the salamander.

Is this seemingly silly girl really that amazing?

"Wanlijiang, Yin, you two will work in pairs, causing sabotage in various parts of Konoha to draw enemy fire."

Ryuji's command brought everyone back to their senses, and they all looked at him.

"Konoha didn't expect us to have such a powerful poison. Before they figure out a way to counter it, we should make the poison work as much as possible."

At this point, Long Er glanced back and forth between Wanlijiang and Yin, and continued, "The two of you should not separate when you are on a mission, especially Yin. You must protect Wanlijiang and do not chase after anyone."

Although Wanlijiang's poison was potent, she herself was only at the level of a special ninja.

Once the enemy learns of her abilities, they have countless ways to target her, so she must be protected by a highly skilled individual.

Black is not strong enough, and Red needs to conserve his energy to deal with the Third Hokage in his prime, whose strength is unknown. Only Silver is the most suitable.

However, considering Gin's personality of chasing after enemies to their deaths, Ryuji gave her a special reminder.

"I understand." Yin nodded and said calmly, "I will prioritize Wanlijiang's life the most."

"Then go quickly!"

"Yes."

After receiving their orders, the two jumped directly towards the colorful salamander next to them.

The five-colored salamander opened its mouth and swallowed them whole, then, together with another black salamander, dived underground and quickly swam off in other directions from Konoha.

Ryuji withdrew his gaze and looked at the others. "We'll continue forward. Black, keep an eye on Carol's situation. Report any unusual activity immediately."

"yes!"

"Set off!"

The group continued towards the commercial street.

……

After everyone had left, an Aburame clan ninja got up from the ground.

His body was also extensively eroded by the poison, and his internal organs could be seen from his back, chest and other areas.

But strangely, he did not die.

"Symbiotic worm, I survived only because of you." The Aburame clan ninja looked through the rotting chest at the heart that was gradually returning to normal beating, and said with relief.

Symbiotic worms are insects similar to substitute straw men, and they require very strict conditions to successfully parasitize.

The reason this Aburame clan ninja didn't die was because a symbiotic worm saved his life.

He looked around, taking in the gruesome remains of his companions, his fists clenching so tightly they cracked.

"Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you."

The ninja of the Aburame made a silent vow and then released the poisonous insects from the insect pot.

The number of poisonous insects was so dense and overwhelming that they were impossible to count.

Under the control of this oil-loving ninja, they clung to the corpses of their companions to feed, and then fell to their deaths in droves.

but.

Among this swarm of hundreds of millions of insects, one survivor emerged who did not die.

Although it was so weak that it could only twitch its calves, it did not die immediately.

and……

"It's the mother insect!"

The Aburame clan ninja held the surviving insect in her hands and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming its gender.

The insects of the Aburame clan can adapt to their surroundings.

The fact that this insect survived the poison means it has developed antibodies. With the help of the Aburame clan's secret technique to induce labor, and after several generations of evolution, it can produce perfect antibodies.

"In just five hours, I can induce the growth of an antibody-producing insect, and then I'll kill you." The oil-dwelling ninja's eyes flashed with hatred.

What I said yesterday was simply to say: those who are able should subscribe and support the book.

Regarding updates, there are now two chapters per day.

As I mentioned before, this book is a masterpiece, and I'll start giving out badges once the 200,000th chapter is published.

But now it's almost 200,000 words and there are still no masterpieces, so I can only update less to increase the average subscription.

Otherwise, I'll be slapped in the face by myself.
