Chapter 53, Transparent Escape.
Early morning, Konohagakure's third training ground.
"There are three bells, and only three means..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the wooden stake next to him.
"Is one person going to be tied to the wooden stake?"
Orochimaru glanced at the wooden stake Sarutobi Hiruzen was looking at and asked softly.
"You're very insightful, Orochimaru."
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Orochimaru and praised him.
"Alright! Let's get started quickly!"
Jiraiya said confidently to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
After discussing tactics with everyone yesterday, Jiraiya, who had memorized several plans summarized by Raijin for different situations, was full of confidence. This is a sure win!
"Come at me with the determination to kill me!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Jiraiya, and the bell in his hand was hung around his waist by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The sound of breaking through the air sounded, and the figures of the four people disappeared on the spot.
Raijin said that the first step is to pull away, hide oneself, and wait for an opportunity.
After hiding oneself well, wait for Raijin to make a move, Orochimaru to feint, and then Tsunade to launch a fatal blow!
And his task is to just throw a Kunai with Explosive Tags at the right time and angle!
So...
"Ah!!!"
Jiraiya's scream sounded in the sky above Konohagakure's third training ground.
Raijin subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, but found that Jiraiya had been hung upside down on a tree at some point.
But now Raijin has no time to care about Jiraiya. In the perception of the heart net, Sarutobi Hiruzen is already chasing him.
With his hands quickly forming seals, Raijin's figure instantly submerged underground, and before he left, Raijin didn't forget to leave a few Explosive Tags that had already been triggered.
Earth Release·Subterranean Voyage!
As one of the most basic C-rank Ninjutsu in Earth Release, its only function is to allow ninjas to travel underground.
Having missed, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, and his figure instantly disappeared on the spot.
What a keen insight!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Several breaking sounds attacked Sarutobi Hiruzen, and six Kunai with Explosive Tags attacked Sarutobi Hiruzen in succession.
Sarutobi Hiruzen dodged sideways, and at this moment, Raijin, who had already emerged from the ground, casually threw out three Kunai.
Along with the six Kunai thrown out by Tsunade and Orochimaru, they collided with each other in mid-air, and a total of nine Kunai turned a corner in mid-air and attacked Sarutobi Hiruzen again.
And at this moment, the Explosive Tags on the six Kunai that Orochimaru and Tsunade initially threw out are about to explode.
The time of the explosion is basically when it is about to hit Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, and his hands quickly formed seals.
The next moment, a huge stream of water instantly protected Sarutobi Hiruzen's figure.
Water Release·Water Wall Formation!
And at this moment, Raijin, who was quickly retreating, didn't forget to throw a Shuriken in Jiraiya's direction.
"Jiraiya be careful!"
The Shuriken very accurately cut the rope hanging Jiraiya.
Without any preparation, Jiraiya just fell directly to the ground with his head down.
"Bang!"
A soft sound made all four people on the scene hear clearly.
Raijin pursed his lips slightly, restraining the desire to look at Jiraiya, formed seals with both hands, puffed up his cheeks, and a huge fireball attacked Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Fire Release·Great Fireball Jutsu!
And Orochimaru also quickly formed seals to keep up with Raijin's rhythm.
Orochimaru still remembered what Raijin said to him yesterday.
At the right time, with the right jutsu, even a C-rank Ninjutsu can kill people!
Wind Release·Great Breakthrough!
At that moment, the fire borrowed the wind, and the hot air made Sarutobi Hiruzen have to reinforce the water wall.
"Bang!"
The collision of fire and water instantly stirred up a large amount of steam.
The Ninjutsu performed by Raijin and Orochimaru together did not break Sarutobi's water wall.
But Raijin was not in a hurry, and continued to form seals with both hands unhurriedly.
"Ha!"
At the same time, Tsunade's figure leaped high, and the iron rod in her hand shone with a deep blue light unique to chakra under the sunlight.
At the moment when Sarutobi Hiruzen hadn't had time to continue reinforcing the water wall, Tsunade fiercely smashed the water wall.
"Boom!"
The water wall shattered directly, and at this moment, Raijin's Ninjutsu was also ready.
A fireball as huge as a meteorite swiftly smashed towards Sarutobi Hiruzen, without considering Tsunade who was also within the attack range.
"Fire Release·Fire Annihilation!"
This Ninjutsu is considered a signature B-rank Ninjutsu even in the Uchiha family.
Tsunade casually threw the iron rod in her hand backward, formed seals with both hands, and disappeared on the spot in a puff of smoke.
Seeing this scene, three Kunai with Explosive Tags appeared in Jiraiya's hands at the same time.
Now, it's Jiraiya's time to shine!
The Explosive Tags were triggered, and Jiraiya suddenly took two steps forward.
"Bang!"
Jiraiya unexpectedly fell into a pit without any anticipation.
And at this moment, the Explosive Tags...
Jiraiya was scared silly, just when Jiraiya thought he was going to die here, he suddenly felt a strong force coming.
After the deafening explosion sounded in his ears, Jiraiya foolishly looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Jiraiya, who was held in his hand, somewhat helplessly. He didn't say a word, just silently walked towards the wooden stake.
Is such a person really suitable to be a ninja?
At this moment, the shadow clone being besieged by Raijin and the others in the field directly formed seals with both hands and disappeared on the spot in a puff of smoke.
After carefully tying Jiraiya to the wooden stake, Sarutobi Hiruzen swung back, and the three of Raijin subconsciously reached out and caught the bell thrown by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"You..."
Raijin looked at Jiraiya in front of him, started to speak, but the words that followed were really embarrassing to say.
It's a bit hurtful.
Helplessly, Raijin just sighed and didn't say anything more.
Orochimaru looked at the bell in his hand. Does this mean that he can have a teammate like Raijin while having a teacher like Sarutobi Hiruzen?
Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya, didn't say anything, just came to Raijin's side. Feeling Tsunade's approach, Raijin subconsciously put his arm around Tsunade's shoulder.
"You three go back first."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said to the three of Raijin.
Upon hearing this, Raijin nodded, glanced at Jiraiya, and turned and left.
"You... How can a ninja repeatedly fall into obvious traps? You even almost lost your life because of it."
Sarutobi, dressed in black, said to Jiraiya somewhat helplessly.
"Because..."
Jiraiya wanted to explain, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Why don't you learn a little from Orochimaru? Both of you don't have Kekkei Genkai, but Orochimaru's performance is much better than yours."
"Sarutobi-sensei, you're always talking about Orochimaru, it's really annoying! I also use a very powerful Transparent Escape Technique when I'm peeping!"
Thinking that he was about to be eliminated, Jiraiya simply vented his dissatisfaction at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Who wants to step into a trap? But what I say doesn't count!
"Really, how powerful can your Transparent Escape Technique be?"
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed, and asked Jiraiya without much concern.
"I've never been discovered so far! This is true!"
Speaking of Transparent Escape, Jiraiya proudly said to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Since you've said so much, I'll go with you next time."
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, and said to Jiraiya with a serious face.
