The victory of Konoha's side did not start with the appearance of Tsunade-hime, but with the cross-country victory over Yukito.
In fact, when the Yumu people were defeated off-road and lost their combat capabilities, the number of shadow-level experts on the Konoha side was already able to overwhelm the Kumo ninja side. Especially in the cross-country, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya work together. When facing the combination of Raikage and Kirabi, they have a certain inherent advantage, so even if Tsunade-hime does not come to support, the cross-country is in Orochimaru, Jiraiya With Ye's company, defeating Raikage and Kirabi is a sure thing, but it's just not as easy as after Tsunade Hime appeared.
With the appearance of Tsunade Hime and the cross-country victory over Yukito, the Raikage's defeat was not unjust at all.
It seemed that it was the cooperation of the three ninjas that defeated the Raikage in minutes, but in fact it was the cooperation of the cross-country and the three ninjas, and the cooperation of four strong Kage level players, who barely managed to defeat the peak Kage level powerhouse, the Raikage.
The armor of Thunder Escape has been shattered, and Lei Ying gasps for breath, half-kneeling on the ground, covered in blood, and is already at the end of his strength.
On the other hand, look at Konoha.
Off-road is still blocked by the secret technique of the Uzumaki clan, King Kong, which tightly restricts the movements of the two jinchūriki, Yukito and Kirabi. Among the three ninjas, except for Jiraiya who needed to pay attention to Kirabi, Orochimaru and Tsunade Hime had their eyes locked on the Raikage. Soon Orochimaru slowly walked up to the Raikage and said:
" Raikage, you lost."
"Lost?"
Listening to Orochimaru's hoarse voice and indifferent tone, he said the fact that he had lost. Raikage first looked at Kirabi who was restricted by King Kong's blockade, and then looked at Yukito on the other side who was also restricted by King Kong's blockade. He sighed deeply and could only accept the facts before him and said: "That's right. Orochimaru, I lost."
"Hmph!"
After saying that, the Raikage snorted angrily again, and then said: "Your Konoha Village really doesn't move if it doesn't move, and it makes a blockbuster if it moves! I thought, All the elites of our Cloud Ninja Village attack. Together with Bi and Yukito, we can already win this battle. Who would have thought that for the sake of victory, that old fellow the Third Hokage actually killed you damn bastards? They've all been summoned back!"
"Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade-hime, and the dignified Sannin have joined forces again? By the way, there will also be a Shadow Mage, hahahaha! If there is no Shadow Mage, Orochimaru, do you think it's that easy for you to win? You have to thank Shadow Mage. Without him, maybe this is my only chance to defeat the Sannin!" "Raikage, you don't need to sow discord, off-road
. You are the disciple of my beloved disciple, do you think you can get out of trouble with just a few words?"
Instantly seeing through Raikage's plot, and somewhat intending to sow discord, Jiraiya stood firmly beside Yukio, The hand patted the cross-country body, as if to tell the cross-country that there was no need to be afraid.
As soon as Raikage finished speaking and Jiraiya stood up for Yukio, a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Yukio's forehead.
Because at that time, the things that Cross Country was thinking about were not the things that the Sannin would target against him in the future. After all, the Sannin today basically have nothing to do with the Leaf Village. Soon, Orochimaru among the three ninjas will defect, Tsunade-hime will leave, and Jiraiya will disappear with his two companions. Therefore, Cross Country is not afraid of Raikage's provocation of discord, but Cross Country is a little scared. In this battle to defeat Kumo Ninja, he played such an important role, what will the Third Hokage think?
Politics...
is always the most complicated thing in the world!
Although Cross Country doesn't know how his senior brother, Kakashi's father, Hatake Sakumo, died. However, the former White Fang of Konoha was indeed a person whose influence could surpass that of the Sannin to some extent. But such powerful figures all died in political confrontations. In the end, they refused to commit suicide at home because of a mistake in a certain mission. How terrible is that?
Off-road asked himself, his influence is not as strong as Hatake Sakumo.
Now, the Third Hokage is once again targeting the Nara clan and his Nara cross-country. After the Third Hokage knew about his terrifying record of cooperation with the Sannin, he calmed down the war in the Kingdom of Thunder. Can the Third Hokage be able to do it ruthlessly? Take him off-road in Nara, take a stab at the Nara clan, and tell everyone in Konoha Village that he, the Third Hokage, is the real power in Konoha Village?
Thinking of this, Cross Country silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and looked deeply at Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade Hime, silent.
In his heart, Cross Country secretly thought:
"No, the war between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Thunder must never end! If the war between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Thunder really ends, and the external strife is gone, the internal strife will continue. It's begun!"
"It's just like what is told in the original plot."
"Why did Orochimaru defect at the end of the Third World War, when Konoha Village and Cloud Ninja Village were fighting? It was already the time to take the initiative, wasn't it? Because Orochimaru is useless, does the Third Hokage have time to deal with Orochimaru?"
"The cunning rabbit dies and the lackey is cooked!"
"If possible, I must...must do what Orochimaru said before, as much as possible To prolong the war between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Thunder."
"I'm afraid Orochimaru has the same idea in his heart!"
He thought to himself secretly, and then his eyes fell on Orochimaru, and he soon saw him Orochimaru turned around to look at the meaningful look in his snake eyes.
It was just a touch of eyes. Off-road knew. Orochimaru also hoped that an accident would happen.
So, after taking a deep breath, Cross Country actually made his own decision.
He decided to create an accident himself and give Raikage, Kirabi and others a chance to fight back, so that the Cloud Ninja Village could ensure a certain amount of power and continue the war with the Leaf Village.
However, just when Orochimaru was off-roading, communicating with his eyes and plotting to create an accident, who could have imagined that the accident really happened?
The cause of that accident was entirely because of a little person, a little person who went off-road, and Orochimaru and others no longer paid attention to it.
That little person is Toshiro whom Orochimaru used!
At this moment, in the spiritual communication of the shadow communication technique, the voices of Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade Hime sounded one after another. They already had the idea of taking Raikage, Kirabi, and Yukito back. But in the communication between Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade Hime, when Cross Country was about to create an accident, Toshiro, who suddenly betrayed the Raikage under the control of Orochimaru, was punched by the Raikage. He suddenly stood up and suddenly appeared behind Cross Country!
There is no doubt that at that time, even off-roaders never imagined that a neglected little person like Toshiro could suddenly rise to prominence.
After all, the battle they are facing this time is a real shadow-level battle. No one other than a shadow-level powerhouse has the capital to lead the victory!
However, it was Toshiro, an elite Jonin, who suddenly changed the direction of victory when the Kage-level battle was about to end.
Suddenly appeared, what did Toshiro do?
Toshiro simply used a kunai to penetrate deeply into Cross Country's shoulder.
The next second!
"Bang!"
Cross Country was injured and instantly unable to control the spiritual energy in the Yin Escape Brand, which caused a slight disturbance in the Vajra blockade of the Uzumaki clan.
The same little disturbance gave Kirabi the eight-tailed jinchuriki and Yukito the two-tailed jinchuriki...
instantly gained the ability to counterattack!
"Brother, run away!"
"Lord Raikage, I will cut off the queen!"
