Chapter 216: Revenge that ended in vain! Rain Hidden Expulsion Battle!
Just as Fujiwara Tetsuya and Uchiha Mikoto met Torune Ryoui!
While they found a secluded spot to ease their longing!
The previous events also reached Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Tsunade... and the ears of the Senju Clan Ninja!
"Orochimaru!"
"Where is that brat Fujiwara Tetsuya now?"
"How dare he lay hands on a Senju Clan Ninja within the Camp! He's absolutely detestable!"
"I'm going to give that brat a good beating!"
Inside the tent!
The stone table in front of Orochimaru!
Cracked under Tsunade's fist!
However! If they had to make do! It could still be used for a while longer!
Facing Tsunade's roar!
Orochimaru's mouth twitched innocently twice!
He instantly gave Jiraiya a look!
"Cough~"
"Tsunade! Calm down!"
"No matter what! Orochimaru is the Commander, you and I are merely his deputies!"
"If you act like this!"
"It will make things difficult for Orochimaru!"
The moment Jiraiya spoke!
Orochimaru had an urge to regret!
What make things difficult!
Everyone already knew about this, okay!
"What's difficult?"
"Orochimaru! Tell me!"
"Am I making things difficult for you?"
"Tsunade! You misheard... Jiraiya didn't mean that!"
Facing Tsunade's coercion!
Orochimaru gave Jiraiya a resentful look!
He let out a helpless dry laugh!
"That's right! Tsunade! I really didn't mean that, I misspoke!"
"The matter you just mentioned! Orochimaru and I have also heard about it!"
"This matter... strictly speaking, it wasn't initiated by the brat Tetsuya!"
"If we have to say! It can only be blamed on Senju Nobushige and Senju Dozei for saying too much!"
"Although the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan have some conflicts!"
"But this has little to do with juniors like Uchiha Mikoto!"
"Moreover! You should understand the brat Tetsuya's temper!"
"Just a fracture! Which means... that brat Tetsuya already held back out of respect for the Senju Clan!"
Staring directly into Tsunade's oppressive gaze!
Jiraiya's forehead couldn't help but break out in a dense cold sweat!
However! He wasn't wrong!
Compared to the Torifu Clan! Danzo's Root!
Senju Nobushige! Senju Dozei's current injuries! Were already considered good enough!
"The Senju Clan's face?"
"Jiraiya! When did my Senju Clan need a brat to give us face?"
"Orochimaru!"
"No matter what happens... the Senju Clan! And I!"
"Need an explanation from you!"
...The explanation Tsunade hoped for!
Ultimately came to nothing!
Because on the third day after Fujiwara Tetsuya arrived at the Konoha Camp with the Ninja supplies!
Orochimaru, having received personnel and material replenishment!
Launched a new round of offensive against the Hidden Rain Village main forces led by Hanzo!
"Tetsuya! It's almost time!"
"We should move out too!"
Deep within a certain dense forest on the west side of the Konoha Camp!
Fujiwara Tetsuya and all members of the Twenty-Seventh Division!
Were all hidden here!
Perhaps because half of the Twenty-Seventh Division's members!
Were rookies who had never experienced war!
The Twenty-Seventh Division was not included in the main force to intercept Hanzo!
And Fujiwara Tetsuya and their current mission!
Was to take advantage of the main forces of both Hidden Rain and Konoha going to war!
To outflank to the rear of the Amegakure Camp!
Destroy the Amegakure Camp's supplies! And clear out the Amegakure wounded Ninja as much as possible!
To prevent! These Ninja who had experienced life-and-death battles!
From stepping onto the battlefield again!
"I understand! Let's go then!"
Looking out at the direction of the Amegakure Camp in the distance!
Fujiwara Tetsuya's expression! Was not as relaxed as imagined!
There were as many as five Divisions like the Twenty-Seventh Division!
Executing surprise attack missions!
If it were at the beginning of the war!
This strategy! Might have achieved the expected results!
But now!
Such tactics and strategies!
Had already been played countless times by Orochimaru and Hanzo!
How could neither Konoha nor Amegakure not have defenses?
To achieve the expected mission objective!
In Fujiwara Tetsuya's opinion! A terribly fierce bloodbath was inevitable!
Of course!
This point! Fujiwara Tetsuya saw clearly!
Orochimaru naturally also saw clearly!
But as a Commander!
He was destined to stand at a higher angle to oversee the overall situation!
If the enemy and our forces were evenly matched! Or even if our side was at an absolute disadvantage!
To achieve victory! When necessary!
Trading pieces was also a good choice!
...The location where the main forces of both sides clashed!
Fell within a dense forest area with a significant elevation difference!
The reason for choosing here!
Strictly speaking, it was deliberately done by Orochimaru!
Under a forced assault! They caught the Hidden Rain side off guard!
They had no choice but to construct corresponding defenses here at the right time! To resist Konoha's Ninja army!
"Orochimaru! Tsunade! Jiraiya! You three brats... judging by this stance!"
"Are you trying to have a decisive battle with me!"
The most core area of the battlefield!
Hanzo stood on top of Salamander Ibuse's head!
Amidst a ground-shaking tremor, he arrived dozens of meters from Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and the others!
Looking down at the dense Konoha Ninja!
He had a feeling of looking down on the world!
"I have to say! Today... you chose the terrain well!"
"But merely this much, to think of blocking Ibuse's poisonous mist, is simply too fanciful!"
"Heh~"
"Lord Hanzo's strength! We have already fully experienced it!"
"Although these small tricks may not be honorable!"
"But facing a powerful Ninja like Lord Hanzo!"
"I can only use everything I can scheme!"
Feeling the terrifying aura coming from the front!
Orochimaru's pupils constantly constricted!
Clearly! He did not have full confidence in this battle!
"Orochimaru! Why say so much to this scoundrel!"
"Hanzo! Today I will definitely kill you! For my Senju Clan members!"
"To avenge those comrades who died by your hand!"
After roaring!
Tsunade did not follow the pre-arranged plan!
She stomped on the stone, gathering strength and flying up!
Directly attacking Hanzo!
"Tsūtenkyaku!"
"Orochimaru!"
Looking at Tsunade's rapidly shrinking back! A trace of anxiety flashed in Jiraiya's eyes!
"Attack..."
After a helpless sigh!
Orochimaru did not hesitate in the slightest!
He took a step ahead of Jiraiya!
And was the first to join the battle between Hanzo and Tsunade!
Tsunade's existence! Was far more important than the outcome of a battle!
It's just! About this point!
Tsunade, as the central figure! Did not have this awareness!
The Ninja of Hidden Rain and Konoha!
After seeing their respective Commanders engage in battle!
Also surged towards each other!
For a time! Countless kunai! Explosive tags! Shuriken!
Constantly converged in mid-air... completely unveiling the prelude to the Hidden Rain Expulsion Battle!
