Chapter 50 The Three Ninjas in War

Battlefield in the Land of Rain, Konoha's garrison.

Another day of fierce fighting has come to an end.

The Rain Ninja's attack gradually lost its momentum as reinforcements from Konoha arrived from other directions.

However, Konoha has never paid much attention to Amegakure. The real trouble for them comes from the Sand Village's puppet troops.

These puppeteers hid behind their puppets, manipulating them to fight against the Konoha ninjas.

Even if the ninjas of Konoha paid the price with their lives, it would be difficult to kill the puppeteer hiding in the back.

Moreover, these puppeteers are equipped with various hidden weapons, traps, and poisons that are difficult to defend against.

"Tsunade, how's it going? Any results from the research?"

The curtain of the main tent was lifted, and the white-haired boy Jiraiya walked into the tent.

Inside the tent, a table was covered with bottles and jars, and Tsunade was leading a group of medical ninjas working overtime to analyze the toxins.

Tsunade rubbed her temples, looking slightly tired.

"We can only say there's been progress, but it will take time to completely cure Granny Chiyo's poison. That girl actually added Hanzo of the Salamander's poison to the poison in their Sunagakure village. Hanzo of the Salamander's poison made the nature of the original Sunagakure poison even more complicated."

Are you alright?

Seeing Tsunade's tired appearance, Jiraiya was a little worried, but considering that Tsunade had a boyfriend, he didn't overstep his bounds.

"I'm fine, but it's those poisoned ninjas who are suffering. They'll have to hold on for a while longer."

“I believe everyone can understand you. The inhibitors you developed before are still effective. Although they cannot completely detoxify, they have successfully delayed the onset of the poison.”

"However, the waiting process is extremely painful."

As she spoke, Tsunade clenched her fists. How could the feeling of the toxin constantly damaging cells and organs in her body be pleasant? Even if the inhibitor could temporarily suppress the spread of the toxin, it still could not reverse the damage caused by the toxin.

It's even possible that by the time they develop an antidote, the poisoned ninjas will have already suffered from disabilities and chronic illnesses due to the corrosive effects of the poison.

"Calm down, Tsunade. You've done very well. This isn't your fault; the problem lies with the war itself."

Jiraiya was comforting Tsunade, and in doing so, he was also comforting himself.

"If only there were no war, why can't we all live in peace?"

As he spoke, he thought of the Child of Prophecy that the Great Toad Sage had once told him. If he could find the Child of Prophecy, that would be great. Since the Great Toad Sage had said so, if he could find the Child of Prophecy, he should be able to bring peace to the ninja world.

"But now that it's happened, let's hope it can end as soon as possible. Continuing like this won't benefit anyone."

"The war will be over soon."

A hoarse voice rang out, and a person with slightly pale skin walked into the tent.

Orochimaru!

When Tsunade saw who it was, she clenched her fists even tighter.

"Tsunade."

When Orochimaru looked at Tsunade again, at his former comrade, his eyes were filled with guilt.

After all, Tsunade's younger brother, her most beloved disciple, died while accompanying her on a mission.

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became somewhat awkward.

Seeing this, Jiraiya immediately asked in an attempt to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Orochimaru, what did you mean when you said the war would end soon? Does that mean you've found a way to end all this quickly?"

Seeing that Jiraiya had offered a way out, Orochimaru replied.

"Yes and no."

"What do you mean?"

"The teacher sent Sakumo to infiltrate the Land of Wind, intending to launch a surprise attack on Sunagakure to cut off the supplies of the Sunagakure soldiers at the front line and force them to end the war."

"Sakumo? Is it Sakumo Hatake from the Hatake clan? How many people did he bring to Sunagakure?"

Orochimaru paused for a moment before answering.

"one person."

"What? Alone! Has the old man gone mad? He's not sending Sakumo on a mission, he's sending him to his death!"

Jiraiya's eyes widened in utter astonishment.

"No, I have to talk to the old man. How can we let Sakumo go to Sunagakure alone? Going to the enemy lines alone at a time like this is just suicide!"

"It wasn't the teacher who asked for it; it was Sakumo who asked for it himself."

"He asked for it himself? Why?"

Jiraiya was puzzled. Normally, to carry out this kind of mission, at least one or two ninja squads would be sent out.

Tsunade, who had remained silent until now, answered Jiraiya's question.

"Because of Senior Sakuya."

"Sakuya-senpai? Is that Sakuya-senpai I used to run into at the Chiba ramen shop all the time?"

Upon hearing such a familiar name, Jiraiya was reminded of this person.

"Yes, Senior Sakuya was Sakumo's older brother. He died at the hands of Sunagakure on the eve of the war."

Tsunade sighed and loosened her clenched fist.

"I think that the reason why Sakumo went alone was that he probably didn't intend to come back alive."

His mission was twofold: to cut off Sunagakure's supplies and to avenge his predecessor, Sakuya.

Just then, a commotion broke out outside.

"Enemy attack!"

"It's an enemy attack!"

"The madman from Amegakure has arrived!"

Upon hearing of the enemy attack, the three rushed out immediately.

Outside, the rain was pouring down, and the ninjas from Amegakure took advantage of the rain to storm into Konoha's camp.

"Tsunade, Orochimaru! Let's attack together!"

"it is good!"

"clear."

The three of them charged towards the ninja from Amegakure.

"Ninjutsu: Needle Jizo!"

"Hidden Shadow Serpent Hands!"

"Painful Heavenly Kick!"

Jiraiya and his two companions unleashed their respective ninjutsu to attack the Rain Ninja.

Clearly, these ninjas who came to attack the Konoha camp were no match for the three of them.

However, even though these Amegakure ninjas knew they were no match for the three, they still charged at them fearlessly, shouting as they went.

"You evil Konoha ninjas, get out of our country!"

"Evil Konoha ninja, get out of our land!"

"Everyone, let's fight the evil invaders!"

"For the Land of Rain! For Amegakure!"

Jiraiya was deeply shocked to see the Rain Ninjas charging towards them, shouting loudly.

In the Land of Wind, outside the Sand Village in the desert oasis, two ninjas led a team away from the village.

However, in this desert where yellow sand is flying everywhere, a single white spot stands out conspicuously.

"What is that?"

"I hope everyone will be careful."

In the vast desert, Hatake Sakumo locked onto his target and drew his short sword from his waist.

A cold glint flashed across the blade.

Konoha's White Fang is destined to become famous throughout the ninja world today.
