"Boom!"
It rolled even more violently, no longer caring about which side of the Hidden Stone Village or the Hidden Leaf Village ninjas were present.
"Manda, stop going crazy!" Orochimaru shouted hoarsely from above Manda's head.
"None of your business!" the serpent continued to writhe. "I want these human ants to die!"
As soon as the sound was heard, several Jonin from the Iwagakure side began to form hand seals.
"Earth Release·Sky Thorn"
"Fire Release: Vortex Flame!"
A raging fire suddenly appeared out of thin air, forming a terrifying fire tornado above the ten thousand snakes, large enough to engulf them!
At the same time, in the sky above the giant snake, a huge spike, nearly a hundred meters long, rapidly took shape!
It's thick at the bottom and thick in the middle! Like a weapon of the gods, it thrusts straight down at the head of the ten thousand serpents!
Seeing this, Orochimaru didn't hesitate to flash away!
Manda: "————"
Although two large-scale ninjutsu wouldn't actually kill it, it realized that Iwagakure's enemy this time was no pushover, much less an ant among humans; the enemy had come prepared.
To avoid scorching its perfect scales with flames, it quickly coiled its body into a ball and spat out a powerful jet of water at the several Jonin from Iwagakure in front of it. In the next instant, its massive form had disappeared from the spot.
The psychic spell has been lifted.
"Hahaha!~" The Jonin from Iwagakure burst into laughter.
Orochimaru, even your summoned beasts have abandoned you.
"It seems he knew you were going to die here today."
Facing the mockery of the Iwagakure Jonin, Orochimaru's eyes turned cold. He stuck out his long tongue and licked the corner of his lips, then laughed.
"Let me die?"
"With just a bunch of idiots like you?"
"Overestimating one's abilities."
The nearly ten Jonin from Iwagakure were furious upon hearing this.
"Don't underestimate the ninjas of Iwagakure!"
"Earth Release: Thunderclap!!"
"Earth Escape: Life-Binding Mud Rope!"
"Shadow Serpent Hand!~" *Boom!*
Orochimaru alone took on the burden of several Jonin from Iwagakure.
However, for the ordinary ninjas of Konoha, the pressure of the battle was not lessened at all.
Some Konoha ninja couldn't resist checking on Orochimaru's battle, and the Jonin squad leader shouted a reprimand.
"Don't get distracted!"
"Everyone, listen to my command! Reserves, advance!"
"Rush!!"
As the order was given, the Konoha reserve team, which had been prepared in the rear, rushed forward! They brandished their swords, and some even launched ninjutsu and explosive tags at the rear of Iwagakure, briefly suppressing Iwagakure's advance through a burst of energy.
Taking advantage of the brief lull in the momentum, the exhausted ninjas who were originally positioned at the front finally had a chance to catch their breath. The wounded were quickly evacuated, and those who were still capable of fighting were able to take this opportunity to stuff themselves with two soldier rations.
Before long, the Hidden Rocks surged up again like a tide.
"Kill!!"
"Kill them all!!"
Get out of my way!
"~
"Boom!~"
After an unknown amount of time, a sudden uproar came from afar.
The Iwagakure ninjas shouted loudly.
Orochimaru is dead!
Orochimaru is dead!
"You scum of Konoha, why don't you surrender now?! Hahaha~"
The Konoha ninjas quickly panicked.
Orochimaru was the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Front! And he just died like that?!
Who will command the remaining lines of defense?
impossible!
Some remained steadfast, while others panicked, but in any case, the news of Orochimaru's death severely impacted Konoha's morale, especially after looking around and not finding Orochimaru, which intensified their fear.
"Lord Orochimaru won't die!" A Jonin from Konoha shouted to reassure his troops.
"This is an enemy trick!"
"Don't overthink it! Keep defending!"
"Brothers of Konoha, do not fear death. If I die, command shall be transferred according to the original battle order!"
As the Jonin spoke, he quickly formed hand seals, and a ball of flame rose from in front of him, rapidly engulfing the Iwagakure enemies in front of him.
"BOOM!!~"
Flames shot out, the bright firelight turning the sky a pale red.
The Konoha Jonin kept calling out to each other, trying to bolster morale and continue the defense.
Under the organization of the Jonin squad leaders and captains, the combat-capable ninjas took turns in waves, struggling to withstand the relentless attacks from Iwagakure.
"Is Lord Orochimaru really dead?" On the battlefield, Sarutobi Asuma forced back an enemy and finished him off with his shuriken, then asked incredulously.
"Don't believe or spread rumors." Shen Yue Xingyun's expression remained unchanged: "Just focus on what you're doing."
"When the time for defense is up, retreat with the troops. Don't think about anything else."
Kurenai's face was pale. In order to assist the two, she had been using genjutsu too frequently, which had depleted her chakra.
"Almost there. Just hold on a little longer." Shenyue Xingyun had been keeping track of the time, estimating that if she could hold on a little longer, it would be time to retreat.
Sarutobi Asuma asked, "If Lord Orochimaru isn't dead, is he seriously injured?"
Shenyue Xingyun shook his head.
He absolutely refused to believe the news of Orochimaru's death.
In his mind, if there was anyone in the ninja world who could live the longest, Orochimaru would definitely be one of the top two.
Regardless of their combat strength, even if there were enough Jonin from Iwagakure, it would be impossible for them to actually kill Orochimaru.
Unless the other party runs away on their own initiative.
As for Sarutobi Asuma's speculation about serious injury, he also expressed skepticism.
He glanced around at the battlefield and slowly frowned.
Not right.
He sensed something was wrong when news of Orochimaru's death spread from Iwagakure, but he didn't know the specific reason.
"Nebula, what are you doing? Stop spacing out!" Sarutobi Asuma struggled against the Iwagakure soldiers charging at him again, shouting, "I can't hold on much longer!"
Shingetsu Nebula: "Asuma, hang in there a little longer."
As he spoke, he quickly surveyed the battlefield.
Gradually, he finally realized that something was wrong.
The number of people is incorrect!
The Jonin in the Konoha camp don't match up.
According to the command sequence of Commander-in-Chief, Jonin Captain, Jonin Squad Leader, Special Jonin, and Chunin Captain, the number of Jonin Captains in the Konoha camp does not match up!
not enough!
Thinking of the news that Orochimaru was dead, he had a vague guess in his mind.
Could Orochimaru's promise of a counterattack in seven days be a lie?
The truly useful information was actually the Jonin's subsequent defensive operational plans against them!
Once the idea arises, the more you think about it, the more likely it seems.
Without giving it much thought, while Sarutobi Asuma was already cursing under his breath, he quickly stepped forward and took over the enemy on the other side.
"Conserve your energy."
"Prepare for retreat!"
kill.
kill.
It's still about killing.
Even though Shingetsu Seiun intentionally controlled his output and kept the intensity of the small-scale battle at a healthy level, he still couldn't help but die at the hands of the team as the number of Iwagakure members continued to increase.
After a long period of time, as the death toll in the camp continued to rise and the situation in Konoha began to collapse on a small scale, a signal was raised in the distance.
