Chapter 196: The Avatar Name is Yagami Taichi! The Battle Has Come to an End!
The aftermath of Hanzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi's battle was far greater than anyone imagined!
Even several miles away, the Ninja on the main battlefield could still clearly hear the deafening roar and see the scorching crimson!
"Clang~"
The clash of various Ninja tools constantly echoed in everyone's ears!
Blood stained the low-lying ground beneath their feet!
As the blood gathered, puddles gradually formed under them.
In this gloomy, rainy weather, it added a few layers of difficulty to the battle between Amegakure and Konoha.
"Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld!"
"Wind Release: Wind Cutter Jutsu!"
"Water Release: Multiple Water Bullet Jutsu!"
In the fierce exchange of blows, the power of Kage-level experts slowly became apparent.
At least, in front of the current Orochimaru and Jiraiya, the three Quasi-Kage-level experts of Hidden Rain Village were already showing signs of decline.
If there was no strong combat support, defeat would only be a matter of time.
"Damn it! Why haven't those idiots dealt with the Konoha Ninja yet?!"
Calming their restless Chakra, Inmemaru and Saito were also observing the battlefield.
Upon realizing that the Konoha Ninja army was still locked in a stalemate with Amegakure's Ninja, their expressions immediately darkened.
Strictly speaking, it wasn't that Amegakure's Quasi-Kage misjudged the situation.
If Konoha's combat strength was based on the average level of the Konoha Camp a few days ago, with the Senju Clan's experts being specifically targeted and their combat strength significantly reduced, the current situation would definitely favor Amegakure.
However, no one could have predicted, or accurately judged, Hiruzen Sarutobi's resolve.
The eight hundred Konoha Ninja he dispatched were all Konoha's elites, not a conventional Ninja squad.
After the Senju Clan's experts were successively poisoned, the elites from Shinobi Clans took up the entire battlefield's defense line in a very short time.
"Ninja Art: Mind Transfer Clone Jutsu!"
"Genjutsu: Terrifying Illusion!"
"Secret Jutsu: Parasitic Destructive Insect!"
...On the west battlefield, Fujiwara Tetsuya's Shadow Clones turned into puffs of smoke after expending their Chakra.
Perhaps because he was too ostentatious, Fujiwara Tetsuya himself also received the attention of the enemy's poison mist.
However, fortunately, Fujiwara Tetsuya was alert enough and did not relax his vigilance during the continuous slaughter.
Before the poison mist completely closed in, he successfully escaped to a safe area.
"Thank you, senior! How should I address you?"
Fujiwara Tetsuya's high profile not only attracted the attention of many Amegakure Ninja but also many Konoha comrades.
After casually helping two Konoha Chunin, gazes filled with admiration instantly fell on Fujiwara Tetsuya.
"Me?"
Stroking this featureless face after his transformation, Fujiwara Tetsuya silently wondered what cool name he should give this alias.
"My surname is Yagami! You two can call me Yagami Taichi!"
"Alright! That's enough talk!"
"If fate allows, we'll meet again in the future!"
Patting the shoulder of the young man in front of him, Fujiwara Tetsuya coughed lightly, then instantly vanished from their sight.
"Summoning: Slug!"
"Slug: Great Slug Split!"
"Tsūtenkyaku!"
It's unclear if Tsunade had temporarily dealt with the poisoned Konoha Ninja, but in the excited gazes of many Konoha Ninja, Tsunade's proud figure once again appeared on the battlefield.
Her terrifying monstrous strength, wherever it went, would surely stir up raging torrents, and countless Amegakure Ninja were swept into them.
Especially after Tsunade rejoined the battle between Kage and Quasi-Kage, the balance on the battlefield, which had lasted for several hours, was finally broken.
The Amegakure Quasi-Kage, who had already been severely injured by Orochimaru and Jiraiya, were completely defeated within a few minutes after Tsunade joined.
The defeat of the top-tier combatants immediately triggered a series of reactions.
Firstly, the release of Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya, three top-tier combatants, brought absolute combat suppression to the Amegakure Ninja.
Secondly, the retreat of the top-tier combatants caused many Amegakure experts to hesitate, either being counter-killed by Konoha experts or making the same choice as Inmemaru and Saito: retreating from the central battlefield and fleeing towards the Amegakure Camp.
"Is it over?"
Crushing the throat of another Amegakure kunoichi, Fujiwara Tetsuya watched the large-scale retreat of the Amegakure Ninja and the Konoha Ninja gradually closing in under the leadership of Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya, and chose to stop.
Before the outcome of Hanzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi's battle was determined, based on Orochimaru's character and overall perspective, he should not choose a large-scale offensive.
Facts proved that Orochimaru's decision was as Fujiwara Tetsuya had expected.
After encircling and suppressing the scattered Amegakure Ninja, Orochimaru chose to have Kato Dan and Akimichi Torifu temporarily lead the Konoha Ninja present.
On one hand, they would clean up the battlefield; on the other, they would treat the wounded.
He, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, meanwhile, led dozens of Jonin and Elite Jonin who still possessed combat strength, leaving the battlefield and heading towards the area where Hanzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi were fighting.
As for Fujiwara Tetsuya, after dispelling his transformation, he chose to return to the Konoha Camp.
Although the battle between the two Kage was very captivating, considering his performance today, he still suppressed that urge.
Sometimes, being too high-profile might not be a good thing.
"Phew~"
"Yoru, you're finally back!"
"The Squad Leader came earlier, but we managed to fool him."
"What? Did Saru need me for something?"
"No, not really! It was just a routine inspection!"
"But you know, the Squad Leader... his oppressive aura is too strong!"
"If he comes back again, we're afraid we won't be able to fool him and will be exposed!"
"Hua Hu, it seems your three's psychological fortitude still needs more training!"
"When you can lie without your face turning red or your heart racing, then you'll become qualified Anbu!"
Facing Fujiwara Tetsuya's lecture, Hua Hu and the other two could only nod in agreement.
After all, as their captain, they had to give him that much respect.
From Hua Hu, Fujiwara Tetsuya also learned about the poisoned Konoha Ninja.
Among the hundreds of Konoha Ninja who were rescued, only a few Elite Jonin from the Senju Clan were still holding on due to the Senju Clan's special physique.
The others had all perished in the past two or three hours.
Even with Tsunade's personal intervention, she was still unable to remove the toxins from everyone's bodies.
Regarding this, Fujiwara Tetsuya didn't know how to comment.
The current battle situation looked like Konoha had won, but in terms of casualties on both sides, Konoha was no better off than Amegakure.
The deaths of a large number of Senju Clan Jonin and Elite Jonin were destined to make the Senju Clan even more in decline.
Although the Senju Clan still had Tsunade, a newly promoted Kage, Tsunade's personality dictated that she would not be the one to revitalize the Senju Clan.
