After the New Year passed, the Sannin rushed to the Iwagakure battlefield. Hiruzen and Tobirama issued a military order, vowing to completely end the war with Iwagakure in the first half of the year.

Fighting Konoha and Amegakure at the same time, Iwagakure's condition actually became very bad.

Onoki began to regret his decision to take the initiative to get involved in this troubled waters. Now, the intimidation of Sunagakure has not been effective, and the cooperation with Yugakure has long been broken, not to mention that Kumogakure blocked the door and beat him. Start a protracted battle with Konoha on multiple battlefields.

In the meantime, Ohnoki went to the battlefield to face Hiruzen. Although one side had the blood successor elimination and the other claimed to be able to use all non-blood successor limited ninjutsu in the ninja world, the battle between the two was only a draw.

Originally, the advantage was with Onoki, but Hiruzen was not fighting alone. Behind him was Danzo, who was thoughtful and had countless destructive tricks.

These two people always seem to be at odds with each other, but on the battlefield, at critical moments, the two people, who have 40 to [-] years of experience in working together, work together quite well.

While Ohnoki was fighting Hiruzen, he also had to be wary of underhanded moves. Fortunately, after he held back Konoha's strongest combat force with his Kage-level strength, his subordinates formed another team to sneak around and attack.

That's how fighting is, there are many strategies, and one of them will always work.

The team that circled back and attacked was not completely successful, because when they were halfway around, they met the Konoha Sannin who had the same idea.

The ones sent by Iwagakure are all elites. Apart from the Sannin, only a few ninjas on Konoha's side can call upon them.

Which one is better or worse, you will know once you try it.

This battle lasted for a whole afternoon. After Jiraiya was pierced by the opponent's giant shuriken in the abdomen when he was too late to avoid it in order to save his two companions, Konoha was completely passive.

Even if he was injured, he could not get his companions to be rescued. In the end, when they were forced into the cave by several elite ninjas from Iwagakure, only the three of them were left.

Tsunade and Orochimaru, who had very little chakra left, and Jiraiya, who had lost too much blood and could die at any time.

The hemophobia that has not been completely cured has greatly affected Tsunade's performance. In battle, whether it is her own blood or the enemy's blood, her movements will become sluggish. If she does not have a trustworthy companion, Tsunade will become sluggish. I don’t know how many times I will be injured.

Hiding in a dark cave, Iwagakure's ninjas did not dare to rush in.

But they also knew that as long as they guarded the only exit, they would sooner or later be trapped inside with their seriously injured teammates, or they would use ninjutsu to collapse the mountain. The same would be true for burying them.

The ninjas of Iwagakure confidently blocked the entrance of the cave, but the situation of the three ninjas inside was not optimistic.

A large number of ninjas used the art of salt and iron cannons to attack the mountain. Even through the thick rock walls, the people in the cave could still feel the ground shaking.

Jiraiya's injuries were too serious, damaging many organs. Blood stained his mail armor, and even blood gushed out of his mouth intermittently.

Tsunade thought of Kato Dan's appearance before her death. She was flustered but forced herself to stay calm. As the only medical ninja among the three, she was the reassurance in Jiraiya's eyes. If even she was panicked, Jiraiya I'm afraid I will give up unconsciously.

The palm of his hand covered the wound cut by the giant shuriken, and the shining green light gathered here.

Tsunade's face was the same as Jiraiya's, extremely pale, and cold sweat broke out quickly from her forehead. She didn't know where to look. The dark red blood made her very uncomfortable, and even her breathing was a little difficult. blocked.

Orochimaru was guarding defensively not far away. He looked at Jiraiya who was finding it increasingly difficult to breathe, and his mood became very bad. Since his mood was always very light, even if he was in a bad mood, Nothing can be seen from his face.

The animal-like pupils reflected Jiraiya's pale and bloody face. He looked very painful, but because Tsunade was in front of him, he was trying his best to endure it.

It was the first time Orochimaru saw Jiraiya in such a miserable state. From childhood to adulthood, they had done countless missions together, and they also stayed together at the Amegakure battlefield for a year. No matter what kind of powerful enemy he faced, Jiraiya never suffered. Such a serious injury.

As strong as he is, there are times like this.

"There is life and death on the battlefield. This is the realization of every ninja who goes to the battlefield. Why do you have to save them?"

Orochimaru couldn't understand Jiraiya's behavior of risking his own life in order to save others. In his eyes, this was something only a fool would do.

"But they...are...companions, how can you...just watch...them die?"

Jiraiya spoke intermittently, the corners of his mouth raised with difficulty.

"Ah, but they still couldn't escape death, right? Whether you took action or not didn't change the final result. Besides, it's about to cost you your own life."

"Orochimaru!" Tsunade sternly stopped him from continuing. Now she really didn't want to hear topics related to death.

Orochimaru stared at Tsunade's side face with cold eyes, and his hoarse voice echoed in the cave, "Give up, Jiraiya can't be saved anymore, look at how much blood he has lost."

Jiraiya kept curling his lips, he could still feel his own injuries. Just as Orochimaru said, he was injured too seriously, but he still accepted Tsunade's treatment.

If possible, he really didn't want to die in front of Tsunade. Some time ago, with the help of Kagura and Izuna, he helped Tsunade untie the knot in her heart. He didn't want Tsunade to be closed for the second time because of his death.

It shouldn't be like this, he has to hold on.

Jiraiya tried his best to maintain his calm appearance, but the hands digging at the ground beneath him betrayed him.

Orochimaru looked at him silently, feeling a very strange emotion in his heart. What would happen to him if Jiraiya died here?

He tried hard to think of his possible reactions, but he only superficially thought of crying. Would Orochimaru shed tears?

What kind of human joke is this?

No, snakes are cold-blooded animals, so they don't shed tears.

Therefore, he didn't know what kind of emotions he would feel.

Just looking at Jiraiya who was in so much pain but still pretending to be calm in front of Tsunade, Orochimaru wanted to help him end this pain.

And if you want to end the pain, judging from the current situation, the only way is death.

The hands hanging under the cloak clenched tightly unconsciously, and the scenes of Jiraiya and Jiraiya flashing through his mind like a lantern. From childhood to adulthood, frame after frame, they were both companions and brothers.

Jiraiya had never done anything that was sorry for him, but in the end he ended up being killed by himself?

But he was in pain, wasn't he? The sweat on his face and the blood pouring out of his mouth.

His hand touched the ninja bag attached to his waist, and he slowly took out a sharp kunai from it.

"Give up, Tsunade, Iwagakure's Earth Release will destroy this mountain sooner or later. If you still want to escape alive, we can no longer hesitate. With Jiraiya, none of us can escape."

Orochimaru's words shocked Tsunade, and she gave him some of her eyes in disbelief. She couldn't believe that these words came out of Orochimaru's mouth.

"As I said before, this is war time, and every ninja who goes to the battlefield must have the consciousness to die in battle."

Tsunade's face darkened, "That was death in battle, not being killed by a trusted companion."

"Bringing Jiraiya with us will only lower our chances of survival."

It seems reasonable to say such heartless words from Orochimaru's mouth. He has always been cold-blooded, which Tsunade has known for a long time, but it can't be done to Jirai, even if it is to himself, it can't be done to Jirai.

"One person can't do it, but two people can barely do it. If there are three people... it will only destroy them all."

Surprise appeared on Tsunade's face, and she had to admit that Orochimaru was calm enough. Only calm enough could he quickly make a correct analysis in such an unfavorable situation.

"You continue to heal," Orochimaru slowly raised the kunai in his hand and said without any emotion in his voice: "I will send Jiraiya on his way."

His reasons were very good, but even so, Tsunade still couldn't follow his advice.

"If you dare to step forward, I will kill you."

I don't know if her words had an effect, but Orochimaru stopped.

"It seems that the three of us are keeping each other in check..."

Are they trying to keep each other in check? His cold eyes condensed again. Looking at Tsunade's back, Orochimaru felt an indescribable anger, and there were other emotions in it, but he didn't wait for him to think carefully about what those emotions were. , he saw Jiraiya sitting there leaning against the stone wall and slowly opened his eyes.

He raised his right hand heavily, moved his fingers, and finally gestured "yeah" to Orochimaru. His lips were moving, but there was no sound. But looking at the shape of his lips, Orochimaru knew what Jiraiya wanted to say. .

The pupils with yellow vertical stripes shrank suddenly at this moment. Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya's bloody smile in surprise. He only felt shocked, shocked by Jiraiya, and shocked by his own hindsight.

He lost, lost to himself.

This...how is it possible? !

Enraged by himself, Orochimaru stabbed out the kunai in his hand like crazy, and the woman in front of him blocked him with a fearless look.

The cave entrance blocked by the collapsed rock exploded at this time, and against the light, a group of ninjas waved to them.

"Hey, reinforcements have arrived!"
