Chapter 172 The Great Battle of the Three Ninjas
Chapter 172 The Great Battle of the Three Ninjas
Naruto and Sasuke both felt that they had been deceived by Yoru.
But neither of them blamed him. They both felt that Ye Yu lied to them for their own good, to motivate them to become stronger.
All I can say is that Ye Yu was thoroughly fooled by the two of them during this period.
This fostered a deep trust between the two in Ye Yu.
Sakura didn't say anything.
Because she had long suspected that Ye Yu was just fooling the two of them.
She didn't think the two of them could surpass Ye Yu.
Kakashi, too, watched the two with satisfaction.
He exclaimed, "Finally, I've come to my senses. It's good that I've realized the problem."
"Even if you can't surpass him, your progress is still terrifying. In just a few months, you've risen from genin to jonin. I wasn't this amazing back then."
“You are now stronger than I was back then.”
Kakashi was being sincere about this.
At the age of 12, he was not as strong as Sasuke and Naruto.
Of course, he was referring to the application of ninjutsu, not actual combat experience.
In terms of practical combat experience, even Yoru is far inferior to Kakashi.
Kakashi was already a veteran of the battlefield at the age of 12.
How can those who grew up in peacetime compare?
After sighing, Sasuke looked at Naruto and asked, "Is the ninjutsu you learned from Jiraiya the Summoning Jutsu?"
"You were able to summon such a huge monster to assist in the battle; your strength must have surpassed mine by now."
Naruto chuckled smugly, "That's called Gamabunta, isn't it strong?"
Sasuke nodded. "With its assistance, I estimate that even a Jonin wouldn't be a match for you."
Sasuke rubbed his chin and said, "I should find a summoning beast too."
Kakashi looked at Sasuke and said, "You can use my ninja dog."
Sasuke simply did not answer Kakashi's question.
Although he didn't say anything, Kakashi knew that Sasuke definitely didn't think much of him.
He felt somewhat helpless; it was one thing for Yoru not to care about his summoned beasts, but even Sasuke didn't care.
"It seems that the only one who can inherit my summoning beast is Sakura."
Sakura, who was sitting quietly to the side, heard Kakashi's words and quickly shook her head, "Kakashi-sensei, I... I don't think your summoning beasts are quite suitable for me."
Sakura doesn't really like dogs as summoning animals either.
Kakashi was speechless. "Do you guys really dislike my summoning beast that much?"
Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto remained silent, and none of them dared to look him in the eye.
Naruto already has his own summoning beast, so he doesn't need it. Sasuke, on the other hand, is thinking about where to get a summoning beast similar to Naruto's.
Sakura, on the other hand, does not need a summoning beast.
She would rather not use a summoning beast than have Kakashi's ninja dog.
It's easy to imagine how much the three of them disliked Kakashi's ninja dog.
This greatly frustrated Kakashi.
It's understandable that Ye Yu, as a direct disciple, doesn't want his own summoned beast, since Ye Yu is powerful enough.
But even Sakura disliked it, which really made him lose his temper.
If it weren't for the mask covering his face, he would probably be furious right now.
......
More than a month later.
Short Book Street, Back Hill.
Orochimaru was about to kill Tsunade, who was blocking her way, with a single sword strike.
Tsunade, who also suffers from hemophobia, suddenly clenched her fists as she looked at Naruto lying to the side.
"bang"
Suddenly overcoming her hemophobia, Tsunade stood up and punched Orochimaru, sending him flying dozens of meters.
Tsunade stood up, panting heavily.
His body was covered in blood, and there were several wounds from Orochimaru piercing through his body.
After Orochimaru regained his footing, he looked at Tsunade in horror, "She can still move even after her lungs have been cut off."
"Tsunade, what methods did you use?"
Orochimaru was shocked.
Tsunade, who had been trembling, stood up and her body returned to normal.
Orochimaru was surprised, "You actually overcame hemophobia. I don't know why you risked your life to protect this mere genin."
Because Kabuto already knew Naruto's strength, unlike in the original story, Kabuto had a better understanding of Naruto's abilities.
So he didn't defeat her unexpectedly.
Tsunade was panting heavily. Although she had overcome her hemophobia, she was still bleeding from the wounds after being stabbed several times by Orochimaru. The intense pain made her muscles tremble uncontrollably.
"I will not let you hurt this child."
Unlike in the original story, Tsunade did not make a bet with Naruto. She was simply moved by Naruto's act of risking his life to protect her during the battle.
She won't let Orochimaru kill Naruto.
Hearing Tsunade's words, Orochimaru sneered, "Tsunade, you're still as naive as ever."
"You are no longer my match."
"Even if you overcome hemophobia, you still can't be my match."
Tsunade ignored Orochimaru.
The hands begin to form hand seals.
"These injuries are indeed affecting my combat ability, so I'll heal them all."
As she spoke, Tsunade completed the hand seals, thus releasing the "Yin Seal."
Shizune, who was standing nearby, panicked and ran towards Tsunade, saying, "Lady Tsunade, please don't use that technique. I'll treat your injuries."
Tsunade simply ignored her.
The upcoming battle wouldn't allow her time to slowly heal her wounds.
Although the Hundred Healings Technique is used, the wound can heal quickly.
But it consumes your lifespan.
Of course, judging from what happened later, it did not shorten Tsunade's life.
Or perhaps, Tsunade's lifespan was inherently very long.
After breaking the Yin Seal, Tsunade once again formed the hand seals for the "Hundred Healings Technique".
As the chakra dissipated, a mysterious mask appeared on Tsunade's face.
Her wounds healed quickly.
In less than a second, the incision, which was more than ten centimeters long, healed.
And it didn't leave a single scar.
Orochimaru was stunned.
"It seems you haven't been idle all these years. Tsunade, what kind of ninjutsu have you developed?"
As Tsunade formed hand seals again, she explained, "The Hundred Healings Technique can stimulate cell regeneration with chakra, giving me regenerative abilities."
Orochimaru was somewhat surprised. "As expected of you, only you could develop such a ninjutsu."
Don't be fooled by how easily Tsunade makes it sound; to actually do it requires a very high level of medical ninjutsu, a skill that only Tsunade can use.
All I saw was Tsunade wiping a little blood from her chest and smearing it on the back of her hand.
Upon seeing Tsunade's action, Kabuto's eyes widened in shock. "What is that action? Lord Orochimaru, come here quickly!"
Kabuto's scream brought Orochimaru to his senses.
He immediately jumped to Kabuto's side.
He said anxiously, "Hurry up."
The reason Orochimaru was in such a hurry was because Tsunade's action just now was forming the hand seals for a summoning jutsu.
Tsunade is about to summon the live slug.
Orochimaru didn't dare to neglect.
On the other side, Jiraiya also quickly formed hand seals.
"We absolutely must summon it!"
Because he had been drugged by Tsunade the day before.
The chakra is still very chaotic right now.
At the same time, the three ninjas used the Summoning Jutsu.
"Spiritual Communication"
Three plumes of smoke filled the battlefield.
After the smoke cleared, the three figures were revealed.
Orochimaru summoned Manda, and Tsunade summoned Katsuyu.
Jiraiya looked at the fist-sized toad in front of him and his lips twitched slightly. "At such a crucial moment, we still failed. Damn it!"
